The Sorehead independent.

Here is the brief but significant
political record of Well Oiled
Mieir: Defeated in the primary
after attempted methods that
would disgrace the most unscru-
pulous: presuming there was a
gang and making obnoxious
overtures to reputable political
leaders; failing to have his pro-
posals sanctioned. he warns against
possible nomination. failing to
be recognized at convention be-
cause not representing the voice
of the majority at the primary.
This is the record.
Thus. Well Oiled Mieir, failing
to compel recognition anywhere,
has suddenly discovered that there
is a gang in control and that he
is ground between the millstones
Of this horrible gang. 1t is all
presumption, of course, but any
thing goes with the man who is af-
fiicted with the itch for place
and knows that he will never get
there ON personal merit. This ac-
curately describes the sorehead.
The Conejos convention develop
ed this small but malignant growth
and it is very sore indeed. The
ticket nominated is composed of
good, honest trustworthy men who
are well known and long time
residents OF the county. They
are not visitors or temporary So
journers in the county, or timer
ent Micawbers waiting for ':some-
thing to turn up to contribute to
their support. The party loyalty
of the oil well promoter, when the
work of the convention was COM
pleted, vanished like mist before
lllc illol HlHS sun. anu HoN llc Iitta
nothing but forebodings for the
country. 1t is sad indeed that
the party must lose the giant-like
strength of Well Oiled Mieir, who
has resided, or rather boarded and
lodged in the county for the long
period of two years. But mis-
fortunes (?) will come, when least
expected, like clap of thunder
from clear sky-or the bray of q
disconsolate ass at midnight. II
is remarkable how suddenly Mieil
has discovered he is the only pat.
riotic, ountry-loving citizen in
the county. 1t is really so sud
den that it has evoked the
loud and resonant horse-laugh il
the light of the methods he has
pursued to break into politics
somewhere, anywhere. People
who believe in patriotism anc
good government know a waver.

The Alamosa Courier has the fol.
loving to say of the mushroom "re.
former who wants to take charge
and run things" in Conejos coun,
ty: The Independent Republican"
ticket, which has been placed before
the voters of Conejos county, is not
worthy of serions consideration.
It. was nominated by one man, who
tried to break into Il Q Republican
county convention and failed to get
II nomination. Out of revenge for his
defeat he nominated this ticket.
While two or three men on it are
good citizens the majority are not
men whom the people would select
to manage county affairs. If "A
change IN county administration is
demanded the change will come
through conserted action OF the vot-
ers ard not at the instigation of a
"soIe. head like W. o. Mieir, a
stranger in the county whose only
purpose is to make trouble. Reform
movements to be successful must
have higher motive. There is
certainly nothing in the Independent
Republican movement TO appeal
10 the democratic voter. A straight
Demoratic vote is what will count on
election day.

CHARLES MURRAY
died TO-DAY
AT HIS HOME IN COLUMBUS,
IND, AFTER A BRIEF
ILLNESS.
NATIVE OF HAGERsToWN
Deputy Sheriff, Policeman, Railway
Detective and Claim
Agent.

Charles Murray died this morning
at his home in Columbus, Ind, of a
brain trouble, from which he has been
suffering for some time past.
The news came as a shock to Mr..
Muray's many relatives and friends
in this city, where he was so well
known and universally liked. Mr..
Murray first came to Richmond in
1882. Up to that time he resided at
the place of his birth Hagerstown,
Ind.
Superintendent Of Police Alex.
Go1mon was elected sheriff of Wayne
county in that year, and selected Mr..
Murray as his deputy. In this capa-
city he served four years, and no
more faithful officer ever served
Wayne county. After Mr. Gormon s
term as sheriff expired Mr. Murray
was put on the Richmond police force,
in which capacity he served until he
accepted the position of railroad de-
festive with J., NJ & l..
The j., NJ. q /. people soon recog-
nized in Mr.. Murray a man Of execu-
tive ability and made him their claim
agent, in which capacity he served
faithfully until his death.
= Mr.. Murray was married to Miss
Mary Lawler, daughter Of John Law
Ter, of this city, about sixteen years
ago.
Besides his wife the deceased leaves
two children to mourn the loss of a
good husband and father.
The Palladium has received no par
ticulars of the funeral, but it will
likely occur here from St. Mary's
Catholic church, of which the de-
ceased was a member before moving
to Columbus.

ITEM $l.OOO.OQO
Has Been Overlooked in the Estimate
of Senator Hanna's Estate.

Iron Mountain, Mich, March 15.-
An asset of the late Senator Hanna
which was not mentioned in the
schedule of his estate and is not gen
orally known is a commission of 10
cents a ton on all the ore produced by
the Big Chaplin mine here, amounting
to 100000 yearly and paid to the
firm Of NJ A. Hanna & Co. The
Hanna Company has no connection
with the mine and does not handle its
output, the commission being the COM
pensation for surrendering a lease
held by Hanna & Co. when the mine
was sold to the National Steel Com
pany four years ago. The mine has
passed to the steel combine since then
but the commission will remain in
force for ten years more, making an
item of 100000, of which no ac-
count had been taken In estimating
the value of the Hanna estate.gfxs. 81

INDUCED in.
Many illustrations were given of
how this initiative, on the part of the
pupils, is used to advantage in early
training.
The helpfulness of personal SYM
pathy was lastly considered.
The child should be permitted to do
that which he can do best. and thus
enter into the closest sympathy with
the work.
"Doing that which can be done best
is a great element in child training. -
DR.. Heilman calls this orchestratlon.
"The fellow that beats the big drum
is doing small thing, but he is do
ing it well and he knows his import
ant relation to the music rendered.
Self-conceit must be guarded against
in school work, and this is best ac-
complished by orchestration. In all
our work with the young we should
live and instruct for the highest and
most helpful relations of life. That
is humanism and humanism is far
better than egotism or altruism.

How he wriggled through the

But he heaved a sigh of relief when
he was alone in the carriage with
his bride. OF courses, she put her
head upon his manly breast and
felt hard package in his pocket.

saw her reach for the package. The
smile came off, all right, when she
sat up and read on flask of unmis-

"Quite a SURPRISE" she remarked

The bride had felt letter, which
she took out. The envelope was miss
ing-another piece of Smiths luck.
She read the beginning and end of
the note and remarked

but might l inquire who Your Own
Grace is?'
Smith tried to explain. But the
letter and the bottle were too much.
Meantime Jones found the brooch
and hurried after the pair, just in
time to prevent the abrupt termina-
ton of the honeymoon before it had
fairly begun.
Now Smith is laying plans to make
Jones wedding as eventful as his
own.
