A young man in Emporia, Kas., had
an open account with local druggist for
two years. The other day he called for
his bill. The first item on it was box
of chocolates and the last was nursing
bottle. This ought to be lesson to
young men not to let accounts stand
open so long.

DEATH OF W. M. WALKER.
A Good Man and Citizen Passes Away-Buried
With Masonic Honors.

Mr.. W. NJ. Walker died at his home in
the Clear Pond section Wednesday morn
ing of last week, after an illness of about
two weeks with pneumonia. The news of
his death came as surprise to his many
friends, as it was not generally known
that he was dangerously i'll.
The funeral services and burial took
place at Pleasant Hill church last Thurs
day morning, and the high esteem in
which he was held by all who knew him
was attested by the large concourse of
people who gathered to pay the last trib-
ute of respect to their dead friend and
neighbor. 1t is thought that the congre-
CATION present must have numbered at
least five hundred.
The sermon and services at the church
were conducted by Rev. E. NJ. McKissick,
his pastor, and when the body was remov-
ed to the grave the Masons took charge
and he was buried with Masonic honors,
the solemn and beautiful rites being con-
Quoted by Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger.
MI. Walker was true and loyal Mason,
and had been Master of the Ehrhardt
lodge since its organization. Several Ma
sonic brethren from Bamberg attended
the funeral, among them being Grand
Master Jno. R. Bellinger, DR.. J. B. Black,
W. D. Rhoad, and q. 8. Bowling.
Deceased was about forty y-fve years old,
and leaves widow and eight children:
seven daughters and one son, as well as q
number of relatives. BE was a brother of
Rev. c. E. Walker, Of the Hartzog section.
Truly good man has gone from among
US. Brother Walker was not rich in this
worlds goods, but we know of no man
who was more highly regarded as a man
and christian. he was loyal to his breth-
rem, his family, and his church, and no
one had aught but the best to say of him.
He lived quiet, unassuming life, but he
will be sorely missed by his family and
friends in the community and county.

tions recently made at the Republican
National Convention in Chicago. Our
friends the enemy, who are in session
to-day in st. Louis trying to find
safe and sane man to offer up as a sac
rifice upon the altar of the Republican
party, have said of the Republican Ma
tional Convention that it was a cut
and dried affair, without any interest
or enthusiasm; that it was a pro-
gramme convention. My friends, it
was a programme convention, but it
was not a programme made by politi-
clans or political bosses. 1t was not
a programme made by great corpora
tions or trust magnates. The people of
this land made the programme and the
convention obeyed the voice of the
people and renominated, as our candi-
date for President, that scholar, states
man and author, that brave and gal
liant soldier, that loyal and patriotic
citizen, whose motto through life has
been that the voice of the people is
the voice of God, that pure-minded,
honest, fearless and most perfect type
of American manhood, Theodore
Roosevelt of New York.
But there is still another programme
that has been made by the American
people and that will be carried out as
sure as day follows night and night
follows day, and that is the election of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks to the high
offices of President and Vice President
respectively of the United States, in
November next by the largest popular
majority ever given to any candidates.
But l am reminded of the fact that
my duty tonight is to preside and
not to talk and therefore I will con-
clude with the hope that we may all
be inspired by what We shall hear
from the eloquent gentlemen who are
to address us and that we may go to
our homes determined to make a still
greater effort to perpetuate in power
that party which has done so much.

ed from Chicago with fresh laurels-
George A knight. Without arrogance
we can boast with the ancient Romans,
To be an American, is better than to
be king. 1t was not always so. Once
we were poor and despised; to-day we
are rich and honored. Once we were
sneered at, but to-day all nations want
to waltz with Uncle Sam. To-day we
are materially majestic and territorial
ly we almost encompass the earth
Once this starry banner was looked
down upon and had no standing on
earth. To-day it is recognized as the
greatest emblem on earth. 1t now
floats proudly on distant shores and it
will stay where it is for the next four
years under the charge Of that valiant
soldier and statesman, Theodore
Roosevelt.
This nation is what it is to-day,
great and honored at home, loved and

riotism and martyrdom of Republi-
cans. 1t gathered to it the greatest

II for one take unspeakable pride in

down TO the present time, dwelling on
the civil war and the stand taken by
the Democratic party at that time.
The Republican was the progressive
party during all those years while the
Democratic party was the party OF
obstruction In all Of the fifty years in
my observation it has kicked and
growled and opposed. 1t was for fat
money-16 TO 1 and any old thing. The
Republican party has stood for protec-
tion and prosperity for the people.
When Cleveland was President you all
remember the soup houses. When the
Spanish war threatened the. Democratic
brethren stood as a unit and fought
for old Glory and the honor Of the
nation. But when the war closed, they
vilifled the administration. They even
adopted AguinaldO as their hero. While
no doubt President Mckinley suf-
fered and worried over the criticism
heaped upon him, he stood firm. and
when he was taken from US Roosevelt
took up the work and stands firm to-
day"
Portions OF Roosevelt's speech at the
Philadelphia convention were quoted
and Dibble concluded:
Il believe this republic has been
builded and set apart for the uplifting
Of humanity. Where the Republican
party fifty years ago stood alone
against the slave power. so to-day it
stands alone for the upbuilding OF hu-
manity"

dents, the sole purpose of which has
been the betterment of the condition
OF the American people, setting higher
the standard of civilization and opening
UP to the American people new fields
Ot prosperity and effort. The Repub-
lican party has been party of action
a party Of deeds, not of words, a party
that has always built up and never
tern down, a party through whose ef-
forts this nation has grown vigorous
and prospered until to-day IT is the
greatest nation on the face of the
earth. II has won the confidence of
the people of this land it has preserved
the integrity of this nation and won
the respect of all nations of the earth.
1T was the party of Abraham Lin
coin and it struck the shackles from
millions Of slaves; it was the party Of
Grant and it led the hosts of American
patriots to preserve this nation for the
destiny that Providence has in store
for it; it was the party of Blaine, that
stood for craftsmanship of the highest
character and patriotism of the purest
type; it was the party of Mckinley,
that stood for protection to American
industries and to American. labor, Nc
KInley, under whose leadership we be-
came a power among the nations,
striving for peace with honor, but pre-
pared through our army and citizen
soldiers on land and our navy on the
sea to fight for what was deemed the
cause of right.
History affords no parallel in any
age or country for the growth in ma
tional greatness and power and honor,
coupled with the betterment of the con-
dition of our people, their opportunities
for education in our common schools,
the high moral atmosphere pervading
all classes, the purity of the home life,
the possession of civil and religious
liberty, with honest labor dignified and
respected and ample employment for
all who wanted work which have
marked the life of the American peo-
pie during the long period of Repub-
lican control. We may thank God to-
night that under his guidance men
have been found inspired by ideals that
have enabled them so to direct affairs
of state in this land under Republican
auspices that a nation has grown up
whose start is ever in the ascendant
and upon whose greatness the sun
never sets, and our prayers go up that
these conditions may continue for all
time among a godfearing, lawabiding
and respecting patriotic people.

The name Of julius Kahn was greet
ed with cheers which were continued
some minutes after he walked to the
speakers stand He said:
The Republican party stands for
progress. The best interests OF the
commonwealth are vested in the Re-
publican party.
Champ Clark has stated that the
greatest calamity that has befallen the
American republic was the second cleo
ton Of Grover Cleveland. Yesterday at
the great convention in St. Louis, when
the name of Cleveland was mentioned
cheers rent the air for ten minutes I
wonder how Bryan felt when he heard
this, surrounded by his Nebraska dele
gates?
The Democrats don't care for a plat
form. What they want is a candidate
that can win. All they want are the
loaves and fishes. They have an or
ganized appetite. In their convention
they have attacked Mr.. Root. They
seem to forget that during the regime
of the Republican party the public debt
has been reduced, business has been
fostered. the navy has been built up,
a great civil government has been
given to the Philippines. the Monroe
doctrine has been strengthened and the
stand and position Of our Government
has promoted peace among the nations
Of the earth. The Republican party has
no fear of results. The splendid record
of Theodore Roosevelt speaks for
itself"

SENATOR WOLFES ADDRESS.
Announces Object of Meeting and Ex-
presses Patriotic Sentiments.


Patriotic citizens who failed to get
in the Alhambra Theater last night
certainly missed a treat in the way of
oratory and good music. Patriotism
predominated every moment of the
party. Every mention of the party's
standard bearers brought forth cheer
after cheer and each speech was ap-
plauded TO the echo.
"Old Glory waved in every nook
and corner of the auditorium and at
each reference to its spangled folds
the audience voiced its appreciation
with cheers and prolonged applause.
Senator Edward I. Wolfe was in his
happiest mood and announced each
speaker in a catchy way. When he
called the meeting to order he stated
that he had been requested TO act as
chairman owing to the absence of
General Stone, who was attending a
similar meeting in Los Angeles. Con-
tinuing. he said:
Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow
Citizens: In the absence of General
Stone the chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee, the
pleasant duty has been assigned to me
of presiding over this, the first Re
publican demonstration of this cam
paign. 1 bring to you, however, a
message from the chairman of the
State Central Committee and at his
request / deliver it to you. If you
love your party and desire to see ii
triumphant at the coming election you
must register and you must see that
your friends and your neighbors and
your employees and your employers
register, for unless you do so you can
not vote at the coming election, and
the State of California and the city
OF San Francisco in particular owes
so much TO the Republican party that
it is only right and proper that on
next November it should roll up for
our present standard bearer as hand
some a majority as it did four years
ago for our beloved, much lamented
and martyred President, William Nc
Kinley.
OBJECTS OF MEETING.
We have met here tonight, as they
are meeting all over this nation, for
a dual purpose: To commemorate the
fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the
Republican party and to ratify the
nominations recently made at the Re-
publican National Convention at Chi
cago. We are celebrating tonight
what may be called the golden we'd
ding Of the American people to a great
political party; a union that has re-
suited in the greatest degree of pros
perity and national greatness and
brought complete happiness and con-
tentment to millions of fresides in
this nation
The Republican party came into be-
ing as a protest against the extension
Of the slave laws into the territory
then existing, and to voice the grow
ing opposition TO the institution Of
slavery in this land. Open the history

WHEAT STILL COMING
Soil Has Made a Record In Holding
Moisture this Year.

J. d. Mcllicker, the Spearyille nursery
man, was In town last Saturday and
stated that during the entire dry spell
there has been no lack of moisture in the
soil on bis place. IIe had a field of
wheat plantedlate, and last week it came
up looking as fresh as though it had
been raining every other day, He says
that this wheat planted after the droulh
began is in fine shape. Mr. Melliker has
piece of land that he says is moist
enough now to plant any kiul of crop in.
AL! over the county, too, 1t is surprising
how well the soil has retained moisture.
Mr.. Mellicker says that bis wheat will
mske crop If rain comes within a mouth
from the present time.
