Judge Grimes to a third term. A
third term in Office is sometimes given
to judge who, while in Office, aban-
dOnS politics entirely and attends
strictly to his judicial duties, but a
judge who is continually chasing after
some political Office while on the bench
never got thru term except by po-
| litical promises and trading with can
didates for other Offices"
Grimes is typical politician OF
well-known school. He is always will
| irg to sacrifice himself for his coun-
try! He was for one term register of
the United States land Office at North
Platte and is now serving his second
term as district judge-having drawn
upwards of $4,000 salary as his part
of the Sacrifice" But he is ever
alert for other ways of immolating
himself upon tt shrine of his coun-
try, and last year promised the re-
publican politicians of Lincoln county
that if they would give him the con-
gressional delegation without fight,
he would not be candidate again for
district judge. The politicians ac-
cepted this and gave him the dele
gation-but Grimes Kept his part of
the compact by capturing the nomina-
ton for judge, after falling to land
the congressional.
Down in Perkins county. Judge
Grimes will have a hard row to hoe
A brace of horse thieves stole TWEEN
ty-one horses in that county, ran them
off to Wray, Colo, and from there
shipped them to South Omaha and sold
them. They were captured and ar
rcigned for trial. Judge Parsons as
sisted the county attorney to prose-
cnte them, and they were convicted.
Judge Grimes sentenced them to three
years in the penitentiary! Stockmen
wonder how long it will take to stop
horse-stealing a. that rate.
The Independent hopes to see Judge
Parsons elected by good majority
The people of the Thirteenth district
need him on the bench. His election
will put check to horse and cattle
thievery, just as judge Westover's
election did up in the Fifteenth.

Custer County

republican extravaganza in the leg
islature of 1903 necessitated increased
revenues In order to keep the already
big state debt from climbing still
higher Hence, the new revenue law
was SO framed that most of the in
crease should fall on the farmers. But
this law was not operative in 1908 and
the levy and assessment were made
under the old law, except that 7-mill
levy was permitted for the general
fund, instead of as heretofore
Custer county farmers and business
men must this year pay 91.5 per cent
heavier state taxes than last year;
railroads are let off with an increase of
88.5 per cent. Custer county assessors
added $40, ,940.8S to the assessed val
uation of the farmers property, while
the republican state board is to be
credited with adding $19,82022 to the
railroad assessmens-ab 50 to the
assessors SIT.
Last year the rate of state levy was
only AZ mills. Why. nobody seems
to- lvnOw. This year it is mills. Last
years state tax was $11, ,369S4, divided
as follows:
Railroads .39O. %
Others 9,97951
This years state taxes are $21,-
100 = divided thus:
Railroads 2e3n oe
Others .................... 19.108.S7
There wasn't ANYTHING to vote for
last year in Custer-no state issues;
and the farmers of Custer must paw
about $4,000 for the fun thew had
shucking corn election day, 1902.

Meanwhile honesty and skill are re-

cupidity and incompetency. The dec

villainous and unworthy, and no hon

Seward. slaven. Stanford. Sullivan and Tidd.
 Commander Averill went down to Ni- antic on the train with the rest Of the local tars and will be in command during the encampment. Camp has been laid out to the left of the brigade headquarters, the streets running just the same as the main camp was across the parade grounds. There are three streets, one for each of the naval divisions. Running at right angles with the company streets are the line officers and in the rear of the line street are the staff officers, and directly in the rear are the tents for the petty officers. One of the large tents used by Troop A has been set for the mess tent.
 The tents of the naval reserves are of the wall variety, such as are used by the officers in the regular encampment Each tent has fly erected in front and the floor extends under the fly. They are. of brown canvas and were pur- chased by the state during the Spanish American war especially for the naval reserves. A guard of ten men from each divi- sion was posted Saturday noon and Ad- jutant Lewis was officer of the day. Master-at-Arms Murphy was made commander of the board.
 The naval militia traning ship Elfri- da with Lieutenant Commander Corn wall in charge. arrived in the bay late Saturday afternoon. A landing was made immediately and Lieutenant Cornwall reported to Commander Aver i'll. Later the lieutenant commander went aboard the Elfrida. Liberty was granted to the sailors who were not on guard and they paid a visit to the spir- itualists' camp.
 The steam whaler which left Hartford in the morning, having a detail of the second division aboard, Lieutenant Ly- man Root commanding, reached Man tic yesterday morning.
 A number of men who were unable to accompany their divisions to the en- campment during Saturday afternoon immediately began the routine of camp life.
 To-day the regular routine of, camp will be followed, including guard mount, inspection, boat driiis and in fantry drills. The second division from Hartford will make up the entire guard on Sunday. ..-
 The newly appointed paynaster, Mir. Disbrow, is providing an excellent ra- ton, and there is every indication that the tars will fare we'll while they are in camp.
 
 The camp this year has been named in honor of Captain Reynolds, who was the first commander 6f the first divi- sion, and also the first commander of the Connecticut battalion. He was one of the pioneers in the movement which resulted in the formation of the naval militia in this state.

 SPACE AT A PREMIUM.

Prospective Exhibitors at St. Louis Fair Find Difficulty in Securing AL
 1otment for Displays.
 Senator Frank L. Wilcox, of Berlin, president of the Connecticut commits sion of the St. Louis worlds fair, was in his office at the capitol, Thursday, for the first time in several days. It is probable that the commission will have difficulty in securing space for the Connecticut exhibitors. They have been informed by the St. Louis authori- ties that all the space for the various exhibits has been applied for twice over. Space in the agricultural exhibit will cost the exposition company five dollars a foot. and there is not half enough space to go round. ... %.
 In the manufactures exhibit, PresI- dent Wilcox says, there are requests for three times the space allotted for this display. The St. Louis officials have said that the Connecticut manufac- lures, to which they would like to give the most prominence are the products of the International Silver company, the New Britain Hardware company, and the Cheney Brothers silk works of South Manchester. The Winchester Repeating Arms company of New Ha- ven may make a large exhibit.
 L. P. Willard, of Colchester, secretary of the department of education, writes to Secretary Vail that his department is being retarded in it's work, because it does not know how much space will be allotted to 1t. Other departments of the work have been troubled by the same cause. Secretary Vail says that none of the departments will know how much space it will receive until Octo- Der 1. "- ..l. ~.

All State A. Q. U. w. Lodges Will Hold
 Meeting.
 Arrangements are being perfected for a meeting of representatives from each of the seventy seven A. O. U. W. lodges in the state, to be held in this city at 2 p. m. on Saturday, August 29, and it is understood that Grand Master Dema- rest has provisionally given his appro- val for the call of this meeting, as is re- quired by the laws of the order. R. Sherman Baldwin, of New Haven, is secretary of the committee to whom the various lodges have been requested to send the names of their respective rep resentatives. It is understood that the grand master will be present and will endeavor to have some from the su- preme lodge in attendance, who will be prepared to explain the new rates pro- pounded by that body.
 The committee on information ap- pointed by the preliminary meeting held August 14 will also present it's findings.
 While there is an evident desire that nothing be done to injure the order, there is strong determination that the outcome shall be such as will protect to the fullest extent the members who have so long borne the burden put on them to make for relief of other juris- dictions of the order, and it is felt that the time has come tocall g. halt. So far as heard from, it Is believed that the membership at large is a unit in this determination, and the friends of fra ternal insurance look forward with mingled anxiety and courage to the out come of the proposed meeting.

NEW ITALIAN PASTOR.
Rev. A. s. DiNficeli to Have Charge of
 Church on West Side.

Church on West Side.
 Rev. Antonio s. DiMiceli has just ar- rived in this city to succeed Rev. Pas- ouale H. DeCarlo in the pastorate of the Italian Congregational church, Richmond INll avenue. He comes here with record that should assure the continued progress of the local church. He is a native Of Palermo. a city of 310,0OO inhabitants, the capital of Sicily, the most important Mediterranean isl- and in the south of Italy, and he is not new to the gospel work. He was con- verted when he was fourteen years of age, in 1885, through the historical [ Waldensian church, and in his own city, where five different denominations led a steady work, as they do at pres ent. he began to preach. ...-. .,
 Two years ago he came to America, with the purpose of devoting himself to work among his numerous country men here. He spent one year principal ly in New York, Brooklyn and Newark, in order to acquaint himself with the general condition of the Italian people and their peculiar needs from the re- lgious point of view. During all this time he preached freely.
 For his zeal as shown in the prosper ous work of the uptown Italian church in New York, the conference appointed him a local preacher. July 24. 1902, and thus he continued till last December, when he was engaged by the Mission ary Society of Connecticut for the Ital- ian church in Hartford. Thence, after having received approbation by the Hartford Central association of Con- necticut. he was transferred to New Haven. to start a new Congregational mission. under the direction of Rev. Watson l.. Phillips, D. D., and he fully succeeded inIhis task. notwithstanding some local difficulties. Now the mission is about to be organized as church, after only few months work, facing a hopeful prospect. The zeal and abil- ity of the new pastor make certain the progress of the Italian Congregational church here. Besides. he is shortly to be married to a missionary lady. who will be a valuable help in this field, on account of her eight years experience in New York. in connection with the M E. church -,.

Letter Addressed to Sailors Snug Har- bor Unclaimed for Twenty-Five
 Years.
 June 13, 1S7S, Margaret Benedict, of Norwalk, addressed letter to a friend in the Sailors Home, New York. Ap- parently it was never delivered, for Monday Postmaster Bradley S. Keith received the letter back from the dead letter office, Washington, with a re- quest that he look up the writer and re- turn the letter to her. MT. Keith has made diligent inquiry but so far has failed to locate the lady. That letter has been tied up somewhere for over twenty-five years. Newspaper men are of the opinion that a disappearance of this kind is accountable for the number of papers that go astray after they leave the office of publication.
