ATTORNEY A. r. McBroom is go

every moment in his fight for
Prosecuting Attorney.
He is one of the oldest attor-

thorough scholar. He is capable in
his profession and will do his duty
as prosecutor.

Ricketts, for Prosecutor,

IT is refreshing to see the good
cheer that Fred Weymuller carries
through this.campaign. There are
no rough places on the surface,
He may meet the jolts here and
there, but no one would ever know
1t. He has been making a few
speeches in the county, and re-
ports come that he is "corker. "
Fred has some good ideas
for the benefit of this county in
the line of commissioner work
which are being received with
much favor, Vote for Fred

Another Open Letter by A. r. Nc.
Broom.


Mr.. Ricketts, favors us with an
answer to my first letter, and
think he had better answer me
again. If his answer was any
thing less it would be nothing. l
stated in my first letter that in the
case of the State of Ohio vs James
Hedges that Mr.. Ricketts, took
fees from both sides of that case
while Mr.. Ricketts, writes lengthy

this statement. l received from
Mr.. Hedges these communications.

employed for me when the state
hired him. Yours Truly,
JAMES HEDGES.
Now Mr.. Ricketts, does not pre-
tend to deny this statement and
must therefore be taken as true.
1t is also matter of record that
Mr.. Ricketts, received $3.50. 90 from
the county after accepting the

ness for a candidate to make
fight, or permit it to be made for
him, on the grounds of charity, as
w. S. Stone is making for election
of Probate Judge.
Billy is putting up the poor
mouth, and it is as disgusting as
it is ridiculous. He is telling with
tears in his eyes, how sad it was
that his home, with all its con-
tents recently burned, leaving him
homeless and pennyless. Billy has
his newspapers to repeat the story,
and to recount what large family |
of homeless children he has, and
must struggle along as poor
school teacher to get the necessi-
ties Of life. Now, we will state
few facts concerning Billy Blar-
ney Stone. He has been a school
teacher for 20 years, at the best
wages in the county. He married
a daughter of w. H. Woodruff,
one of the wealthiest farmers in
Hooking county. He has always
lived in house that belonged to
his father-in-law, rent free and on
a farm of 60 acres that his father
in law gave his wife. Last July
on Sunday morning the old house
of Woodruff's that Stone lived in,
burned to the ground, but Stone
saved all his household goods.
We are informed that the day of
the fire his father-in-law told a
friend that he would offer Will
Stone the farm he lately bough,
worth $4,000, and would give him
about $4,000 in it, and that Will
had enough money to buy the
farm. But said the friend, Stone
would not accept it, nothing but
the $1,000. Woodruff's brick will
satisfy him.
He moved into the home of
his father in-law and lived on as
prosperous as usual. Bill Stone
has money to loan, having ad-
vanced, we are told, 100000 to
the Journal-Gazette company at
the time of the buying out of
Pursell. He has made the boast
that he would beat Frank Martin
if it cost a $1,000. He must be
flush or he could not raise the
thousand. But Billy knows that
he could get it back in short
time as Probate Judge, especially
if his father-in-law should die
while he is in office. What he
and Col. Sands would do to the
Woodruff estate would be plen-
ty. That would be great pickin'
for them.
Frank p. Martin is not running
his campaign on charity. He is
having a hard struggle to pay for
the farm that he has; his crops
on Rush Creek have been destroy
ed three years out of four; he has
been in bad health for nearly
six years, but nobody ever hears
that from Frank Martin. He is
running on his merits. He is a
man among men, and no beggar.
The Journal l-Gazette falsely says
his "broad acres'' were left him
by. his father. In 1890 Frank
Martins father died and left an
estate from which he received
$685. .68, as the probate records
will show. Frank Martin bought
the home place of the heirs and went
heavily in debt, and has whitfield
along by the hardest labor in the
past years. He has worked hard
for every cent he has, as every
neighbor will ascribe. He is
prospering as every man can
who manages we'll and works hard.
He is asking no charities, begging
no votes. He will be elected on
his merit and fitness for the posi-
tion, and will never stoop to asking
votes for charity sake as Will
Stone is doing. Men run ON their
Imerits, beggars beg.

FIRE ALARM BOXES.
The System In New York and Hcw 1t
Is Operated.

Greater New York is thickly studded
with lamppost fire alarm boxes. The
directions on each box. which is paint
cd red and is Surmounted at night by ]
red light. are:
Turn handle to right until door
opens; then pull inside hook once and
shut the door" The opening of the
box rings large bell in the door,
which alarm is intended to notify any
one in the neighborhood, especially the
nearest policeman. that the box has
been opened. The policeman will then
make sure that this was not done out
of mischief by some one who wanted to
see the engines arrive or, as recently
happened, by raw maidservant who
wanted to mail letter. When the in
side lever is pulled down and let 90. it
+ sets in motion Il certain clockwork that
ticks out the number of the box three
times in succession at headquarters in
SiXty-SeveEth street. Not only that,
but il makes record upon Il tape,
showing the number of the box and the
exact second at which the lever was
pulled.
y clerk who sits night and day be-
side the headquarters instrument notes
the number and selects from n drawer
a certain disk which when inserted in
the proper apparatus causes the alarm
to be rung in the station houses of the
district in which that fireboX is situat-
ed. The average time required to Sc
lcct this disk and send out the alarm is
ten seconds. There are always two
clerks and sometimes three in this de-
nortmput Not q word Is SDOEpu An
outsider would hardly know that ar
alarm is going out. In order to prevent
several alarms coming at the same
time from people who see the same fire
and run to different boxes no two
neighboring boxes are on the same cir

but his wife will not be the empress
and his son just born cannot wear the
crown-unless something happens.
The first child of the couple WAS
Sophie Marie Theresa Francis. who
was born n Konopischt July 24, 1901.
This was made the occasion for n
demonstration in favor of the offspring
of the morganatic marriage being law
fully accorded the rights of succession.
The birth of son now has renewed
interest in the contest. which promises
to acquire the greatest Importance.
The marriage Of Archduke Francis
and Countess Sophie Chotek on July
l. 1900. at Reichstadt Bohemia. was
popular because it was a love match.
and the Bohcmians dearly love ro-
mances. The Countess Chotek, more
over. was little removed from an i'm
perial birthright which would have en-
titled her children to the right of sue
cession. She is descended from an
ancient and honorable bohemian fam
lily which received n title of nobility
in 1896. Emperor Francis Joseph him.
self conferred on her the title of Prin-
cess of Hohenberg on her marriage.
The countess met the archduke. heir
presumptive to the throne. in Bohemia,
and they fell in love. The morganatic
union of an heir to the throne was al
most unprecedented, but Archduke
Francis was willing TO resign all for
love. which he did. Out of regard for
his nephew Emperor Francis Joseph
sanctioned the marriage after the re-
nunciation of the succession.
The popular cry now is that the
archduke had no legal right to re-
nounce for his children's succession,
and it is believed the fight for the Prin-
cess Chotek's children will be made
along these lines.

A MANs eLusHEs.
He VIII Fly the Red Signal More
Quickly Than n Woman.

0Uckly IMAM n " Oh1hs
IF there is any one thing that makes
me want to get UP and talk right out
in meeting it is to hear it said of
man that he bushes like n woman"
said the social philosopher to a repre-
sentative of the New York Times.
How women ever gained the repu-
tation of having run up corner ia
bushes is beyond my comprehension.
The report does her a grave injustice.
for as matter of fact she not only has
no monopoly in bushes, but does not
make use of the share that properly
belongs to her. There are some wo-
men, of course. who blush if you even
blink an eyelid in their direction, but
as a general thing men blush much
more readily and more violently than
women.
This is not random statement that
l am making for the purpose of hear
ing myself talk, but Il sober deduction
founded on careful observation. For
years l have made it point to study
the sexes i'll moments of embarrass-
ment. and the statistics l have jotted
down prove that in nine cases out OF
ten the average man will fly the red
signal or distress much more quickly
than the average woman. This holds
good in all sorts of situations.

straiShtway rivals the boiled lobster
in hue. \ woman may redden slightly
under the same circumstances. but her
blush is diluted and perfunctory com
pared with the brilliant. sunlit glow
that sufuseS the countenance of man.
Il don't attempt to explain the phe-
nomenon-physiolog and moralists
may do that if they can-but merely
give the facts for what they are worth
in the hope that the next time a story
writer has n crop of bushes to dispose
OF he will ring few changes on the
old phrase that has done duty for gem
erations and say of the heroine that
she 'blushed like man."

In these days of humbuggery and

fact that the medical properties are
such that it will digest whatever
