Bro. Arbogast got another
grip on the democratic Doodle
car last week and then came out
with a few stunts on what a grand
thing it was to be independent in
politics. The trouble with Arbo.
CAST is that he tried to bluff the
republican committee and the
candidates but couldn't make it
work so he got Independent in
politics-for q consideration
and is now supporting the other
side, and yet this wart on the
face of nature has the gall to talk
about being independent on
county affairs. Why Arbogast
is one of the biggest grafters
alive and would sell his soul for
two bits. He was a resident of
McHenry for a few months and
he had such an excellent repu-
tation that he left and went to
hannaford and the people there
won't stand him long. Yes
Arbogast, old man, any work
you do for either party now will
amount to nil. Arbogast will
never be allowed to remain in
one town long enough to accum-
ulate any moss on his back-it
usually gets too hot for him.

Rail- on One Hill Drops When Cannon
ON Another Is Fired.
Speaking of clocks" said the travel
er, Edinburgh, Scotland, has the most
interesting time marking device l ever
saw. The city lies between two hills.
On one of these, known as Carlton hill,
there is an observatory tower, in the
top of which a large black ball is sus-
pended. Across the valley, probably
mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
Of the large guns in this fortress, point
ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically
connected with the ball in the tower a
mile away. Every evening at 6 o'clock
the gun is fired, and at the same mo-
ment the ball falls. The device sets
the official time for all Scotland.
ut is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous flash of the gun on Castle
hill and the fall of the ball close at
hand, while the roar Of the gun is Of
course some moments in crossing the
valley. On the other hand, it is equal
~ interesting to stand beside the big
gun at dusk to watch the ball at Carl
ton hill fall just as the shot is fred.
/ recall once standing in the courtyard
Of the castle, watch in hand, waiting
for the cannon Just overhead to be
fred. 1t occurred to me it would be
more exciting to watch the crowds Of
passing people, especially since not
one was apparently thinking Of the
shot from the cannon. When the roar
took place, absolutely without warning,
hardly yard above the heads of the
crowd, the scene well repaid my wait
ing. Everybody lodged. Children
screamed, and men and women Jumped
to the side Of the wall. OF course It
was all over in second, but in that
moment 1t seemed that an electric
shock had passed through the crowd"

SPOILED AoueL.
The scheme Senator Lamar Worked
70 Prevent an Encounter.


to Prevent an Encounter.
During the course Of heated debate
once in the house Of representatives
sharp words were exchanged between
q congressman from New York and one
from Mississippi. A challenge was de.
uvered and accepted, and as both were
courageous and determined bloody
meeting seemed imminent. Friends In
1erposed, but In vain. Both men were
1esolute, and neither would yield to the
suggestion Of an amicable arrange
ment. AS last resort Senator Lamar
was called in to save the situation. He
realized that no ordinary methods
would serve his purpose, and so re-
sorted to strategy. The principals in
the proposed duel are still living, SO
will call the New Yorker Jones and the
Mississippian Smith.
Senator Lamar called ON the New
Yorker, and after the usual civilities
had been exchanged he said:
Zones, I've come here to do you
friendly turn. l know that you and
Smith are determined to fight and that
nothing will stop you. have not come
rs mediator, but simply to mitigate,
II possible, the horrors of fatal end,
20 far as you are concerned. AS to
Smith, have no fears. He is dead
shot and can take care of himself, but
he is not an unfeeling man, and is in
clined to respect any partially you
may have in favor Of any particular
part Of your anatomy. Some men en-
terrain a mortal dread Of being dis
figured after death, and If the choice
were left them would prefer not to be
wounded in the eye or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, If there is any particular
spot that you would like to have
Smiths bullet enter he has commits
stoned me to say that your wishes will
be respected"
This extraordinary proposition stag
gered the New Yorker. Even his un-
doubted courage did not stand so Sc
we're test, and he paled visibly. After
he recovered his composure he replied
that he would confer with his second,
and Mr.. Lamar, after an impressive
farewell, took his leave.
The tip was given to friends Of the
principals and new negotiations en-
tered upon. The duel did not come off.
Lamar's device had succeeded.-New

John Sharp Williams. the
democratic leader of the national
house of representatives, was
making a speech to big crowd
recently, and was putting the
CAD to the republican party in
great shape. His elosuence had
hypnotized that big crowd un.
til you could hear John Sharp's
heart humping like a trip ham
mer as he poured forth his
plaudits of the democratic candi-
dates. Why, said he: IF Mr..
Roosevelt is elected he will con-
tinue along the same lines as in
the past" Immediately the
great building in which he was
speaking-nearly burst in twain
as the big crowd applauded
vociferously and yells of ''good,
good" we're heard above the din.
The people want Teddy and con-
tinued prosperity and a demo
cratic audience wanted the
government continued along the
same lines as it is at present.

Malice a.d superstitien.

In the middle ages malice and super
stition found expression in the forma-
ton Of wax images Of hated persons,
Into the bodies Of which long pins were
stuck. It was confidently believed that
in that way deadly injury would be
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super
sdtion indeed still holds it's place in
the highlands Of Scotland, where, -
says well Informed writer. within
tho last few years clay model Of an
enemy was found in stream, having
been placed there In the belief that as
the clay washed away 80 would the
health Of the hated one decline.''

A Great Speech.

The republican party got a
good send-off at this place Tues.
day when the people of Coopers-
town had the pleasure of listen
ing to the Hon. P. J. cCumber,
United States Senator for North
Dakota: The senator is one of
the most forceful speakers in the.
country and his effort on Tues.
day evening was the best ever
heard here. He clearly and
thoroughly argued the records
of both parties during the past
so years and discussed the
tariff, money and trusts issues
in a clean and convincing man.

was no unfinished business left
and the ground had been thorough
~ covered. The opera house
was filed to over flowing. The
republican club got out before
the meeting and had a large
torchlight parade 100 torches
being in line. Messrs. S. A.
Lewis played the fife, Walter
Lewis the big drum and Marley
Flynn. the snare drum and for
about an hour the old town was
full of enthusiasm. At the opera
house the glee club furnished
some nice songs while E. M.
Jackson and Senator Crane &C.
cupied the upholstered chairs on

Beseless Chares.

The charge that Mr.. Roosevelt is IAN
unsafe man" is disproved by history.
Hewasgovernoro New York for a full
term and has been president three
years. These are the two highest ex-
ecutive posts in the nation. In neither
Of them did he ever do an executive
act that has turned out disastrously
for the country? Where does the IN
safeness come in? {
The pretended alarm Of Democrats
ON this score is really a great compli-
ment to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t 10 equiva-
lent to saying that he 10 an energetic
president. We Americans are an ener-
getic people, accustomed to doing
things instead Of sitting down and
dreaming about them, and why should
not we have that kind of president?
Mr.. Roosevelt's energy is Of the
healthy American kind, and it has had
wholesome effect upon our own peo-
pie and in other countries. A president
who has spent his life doing things is
greatly preferable to one who has
spent his life writing judicial opinions.
Likewise, Parker has heard some
thing about illegal and dishonest
trusts, but he doesn't know that there
is anything to he done about them.
And nobody cares about his ideas. on
that question. He'll never set any
river afire in his indignation over the
trusts: not even a river of petroleum
would be ignited by such a match!
The election next month will indeed
turn upon the trustworthiness of the
respective parties, and Republicans
bide the result with the confidence
born Of stewardship faithfully,
coura geously and successfully admins
