As Soon as They Can Find Out Some
thing Definite.


The residents OF FarmlnRton are
living under the pressure ofsuppressed
excitement over a very unusual occur
renee which took place in thai little
town recently.
not long ago E. S Cole, a highly
respected young man formerly Of That
town, died in Philadelphia and his re-
mains were shipped to the home Of
his parents In Pennington. With
them came a woman who claimed to
be Coles wife. Her announcement
was quite a shock to the aged parents
as the son had never said word about
having been married and they were
inclined todoubt the woman's word.
She took upher abode. however, and
after the burial continued to stay with
the old people. Wishing to be sure in
regard to the matter, the father of the
young man went to Philadelphia and
thoroughly investigated the affair. He
has returned to Pennington, but re-
fuses to make known anything he may
have found out. The woman stays
close to the house and no one has been
able TO get her to talk.

Salem Lamp Factory Sold,

The Salem lamp chimney factory
was sold at public auction last Friday.
John A. Armstrong was the purchaser.
The price paid was $4,000. A home
company will likely be formed to op.
crate the plant. The history of this
concern has been tempestuous. The
promoters were Pennsylvanians and a
lot OF home capital was put into IT..
After only few weeks operation the
promoters disappeared and the plant
shut down. Later II was started up
again but was operated only few
days, The sale of the property puts it
on good legal financial basis.

The Great Democratic Editor
Handles Grover Cleveland
Without Gloves.


Courier.Journa under the head, "a
Deaths Head at the Feast" Henry
watterson tiays Grover Cleveland, in
answer to his speech before the Tiden
Club. Mr.. Watterson goes after; his
old.tlme enemy iD his usual vigorous
style. He recounts his various cam
paIgns and his alleged effort for a
/ fourth nomination and accuses him of
treachery in various forms and ways,
and continues:
ut seems kindof irony of fate that
1t sho lid be a Tilden Club to welcome
Mr.. Cleveland's baleful re-entry into
political activities Mr.. Tilden died
with scorn and contempt upon his lips
for Grover Cleveland. He understood
perfectly the coarse texture Of Mr..
Cleveland's physical and mental make
up; his obtuse selfshness; his ignorant
obstinacy: his vulgar self-assertlon;
his interchangeable duplicity. That Mr..
Cleveland should put himself forward
as a conjectural party leader is proof
ola self.contidence which would be
sublime il it were not sinister, because
leadership with him means Office and
nothing but Office. Such well-termed
disclaimers as that which radiated

shade of great university anything
except the organization Of preslden-
tial boom as it is called.
We rather think the party will agree
without much division that it has had
its fill OF Mr.. Cleveland. The idea of
his nomination in 1904 is little short
Of ridiculous. He would be hailed by
the republicans as the Diaz of democ-
racy, that is, as It's only onliestcaptain
general. 1t is safe to say that as a
candidate for third term in the
White House and for the fourth time
as a presidential nominee, he could
not carry contested district in the
United States.
The name of Cleveland may still be
name to conjure with for the repub-
llcans, with the democrats OF the west
and south it is simply hateful. Adj

the familiar words OF Rip Van WInkle,

FOR STATE SENATOR.

Brown and Redwood counties
compose one senatorial district.
George W.. Somerville Of Sleepy
Eye is the present senator from
that district. He has occupied that
position for but one term. During
that term of Office, covering aper-
iod of four years he has been rec
ognized leader on the floor of the
senate, while the Somerville bill
compelling corporations to pay a
fee before they can do business in
this State, is regarded as one of the
best ever placed on the statute
books. Certain it is that it brought
many thousands OF dollars into the
State treasury, and thus has been
the means of reducing the State
tax. 1t is probable that Mr.. Som
erville will be a candidate for re-
nomination and for reelection. 1t
is generally conceded that if he
wishes the nomination at the Re
publican primaries be can have il
without opposition. In fact, il
would be impossible for anyone te
defeat him.

In view Of the fact that seismic

over a stone.
The oxen were now thoroughly frigh-

holding to the stake.

Just then the cart gave fearful
lurch, and the deacon banged his head
against the stake he was holding to
with considerable force. This made
him boiling mad in addition to his fear.

all control of himself: Alloy! Alloy!

and the deacon let out such string of
profanity that Job turned shade or
two paler.
While this was going on the oxen
had got over considerable ground. The
people along the road gaZed in open
nlouthed astonishment to see two such
staid citizens going along SO furiously
with an OK team and We're terribly
scandalized at their apparent hiIarity.
Ike, totally unconscious Of what was
going on at home, was plodding along
toward his chums when he heard
fearful clatter coming behind him. He
turned and could hardly believe his
eyes. There came his pets Jack and
Billy at furious pace and his uncle
and the deacon in the cart.
Stop 'em, Ike! Stop 'em!" shouted
his uncle when he saw Ike.
Ike stepped to one side of the road,
and as the cattle dashed up called out:
Delay, Jack! Delay, Billy" At the
sound of the familiar voice and COM
mand they stopped at once and went
quietly up to their young master.
I'll have the law of you for this,
Job Haines," snarled the deacon as he
painfully descended from the cart.

Ike took the cattle home. His uncle
walked. His aunt told him about the
contemplated sale, and, though he ex-
pressed commiseration for his uncle, it
is doubtful if he felt any, His aunt
said it served them just right. Ike
kept his OXen-EXchanse
