~ Dreier has placed himself on rec
ord as approving the Republican Ad-
ministration at Washington, and can
not vote for him. To one to whom
| Democracy means much, as 1t does to
me, the declaration of principles OF
Dreier makes him utterly impossible as
candidate. 1t is preposterous TO be-
lieve that any Democrat could vote for
a man after he has made such . dec

ahan, one of the leaders OF the local
Democracy, deliver himself after read
ing the published platform upon which
August Dreier is making his fight for
the Legislature. He continued;
by declaring for this platform,
which says: and pledge our loyal sup
ton, D. c.. Mr.. Dreier approves of the
imperiaIistic policy of the Administra-
ton of President Roosevelt. He de-
clares himself in harmony with the
policy of high protection which Is Q dis
tinguishing feature of the Republican
Administration now in power. Demo-
Gratis are bimetallists, but MIR. Dreier
declares that he is monometaflist
when he pledges loyal support to the
Administration. honor President
Roosevelt and every man who deliher-
ately follows his leadership. but a DEM
ocrat cannot do so.
1.-The leaders of the Democracy in

when there is a distinct pledge of sup

cannot vote for any such candidate.
Take away the principles from the
party by endorsing a candidate who is

Secretary Wilson, after consuming a

Further than to test the quality Of
the samples the department has done
nothing toward encouraging the sale of
the product in this section. Some of
the officials of the Department blended
the Hawaiian coffee with other brands
and found it very acceptable Mr.. Boyd
has been visiting the wholesale grocers

grocer here has promised me that he
would like to introduce it without
blending, among his customers. But L
am convinced that little or no headway
can be made till the growers in Ha-
vail are willing to send on abundant

DETROIT, Mich, March 29.-Seven-
teen racers and promising colts were
burned to death early today In IRE
which destroyed. the training stable OF
Frank H. Colby, well known driver
and trainer, in Highland Park. The
fire started just before daybreak from
some unknown cause. Sixteen Of the
horses were burned to death in their
stalls. One broke loose and escaped
from the burning barn, but the animal
was so badly burned that 1t was nee
essary to shoot it. Among the horses
were Red Royal, 2:24A, a five-year r-old
trotting stallion, valued at $4,000: Har-
ry p. trotter, 2:23A, $500; The King
trotter, 2:26Iz, $4,000; Maiden Queen,
PAGER, 2:13l, $1,000; Moneo, 2:321z, trot-

about $4,000. Mr.. Colby had intended

about taking up in committee the Will

discussing geographical matters. not by many

s.e7 degrees north latitude on the mainland Of
Treealand's north coast. and on this expedition
he went on the ice TO S417 north. That surely
was not a failure
Have any explorers ever gone farther north
than PeaTy?"
Yes Other venturesome men have gone far
+ber north on the ice which covers the great
bodies of water in the polar regions, but Peary's
syne5i-jon went nearer TO the North Pole on
land than any other. When arctic explorers
reach the end Of their journey north they usually
leave some record Of their work in the form of
mans and manuscripts in metal boxes, so that
future searchers for the undiscovered region
NAV be guided by their experience, and so that
in case Of mishap TO them the results which
they attained may not be lost. The records of
that kind left on the mainland are in them
selves proof that the people who left them there
reached that spot. But those explorers who
leave their records on ice no matter how firm
the ice may be at the time, run the risk OF
having their records carried either north or
south before others may find them. So. you see,

L. o. T. VI. Box Social.

The box social held in BOyard's hall
last Friday night under the supervision
of the Lady Maccabees was a surprising
success. The entertainment by the troupe
representing the "colored folks" was un-
expected, but equsled il not surpassed
many given by the real darkey. Each
performer did his or her part WELL and
in such natural way as TO make the au-
dience think a regular troupe had been
secretly imported for the occasion.
At the close of the entertainment j. T..
Carson, auctioneer, mounted table and
sold the boxes containing the lunch pre-
pared by the ladies'. All boxes were
sold and the sum netted was $22 20. The
purchasers with the ladies opened the
boxes and l25 persons partook OF one of
the grandest and most delicious repasts
ever served. No pains had been spared
in securing and filling these boxes with
all that hungry appetite might desire.
Many surprises were in store for those
who fought boxes, when the mask was
removed from the owner that she might
be seen and eat her share.
After all were well filled another sur
prising treat was given, when Miss Kel-
Ter was called on to recite some selections.
This was probably the greatest surprise
of the evening. Miss Keller proved her
self master of the situation. Her grace,
ease and manner of recital proved her to
be an elocutionist of no ordinary kind.
The attention and applause showed tue
audience appreciated good thing. Such
recitals is an education. and should en-
courage all our girls and boys to CAREFUL
ly study and practice readiug,
The Lady Maccabees certainly deserve
much credit and praise for their manage
ment and work in this entertainment
and social. May they long live and pros

Bad Butcher Knife Stab.


Last Thursday George Matha of Ger
man Hill met with an accident which
will lay him up for several weeks. He
went in the morning to his brother Hen.
ry's place which is located near Pigeon
hill school house, to help him with his
butchering. In the evening he started
home carrying large butcher knife
with him, and in climbing over a rail
fence ho slipped and fell and the blade of
the knife entered the fleshy part of his
left thigh about midway between the
knee and hip, and was broken off, leav-
ing the handle of the knife in Georges
hand. DR., Dunn was summoned and
when he arrived there was no evidence of
the presence Of knife blade except the
inclssion in the leg which was not longer
than an inch. After some probing he
felt the metal blade which was complete
ly buried out of sight, and with pair of
iorceps succeeded in extracting the same,
The piece of blade was four and one-half
inches in length, and had entered the
flesh to the depth of nearly seven inches.
George is getting along all right now, but
don't want any more butcher knife stabs
In his. He suffered considerable loss OF
blood but there seems TO be no danger
from other complications to retard his
steady recovery,
