Sumpter within from two to four
weeks.
He states that the eastern officials

Want Certain Districts That
Are Tributary Annexed to
Baker County

Both the Baker City papers have
taken up tha matter Of annexinR to
Baker county the several mining dis.
tricts now included In Grant county,
but which are necessarily tributary
to Sumpter, owing to the Topography
Of the country as we'll as the geogra-
ply Of county lines.
The Democrat quotes a number of
the prominent residents of the dis.
tricts so situated as being violently
In favor Of the proposition.
The Herald has much to say on
the subject In recent issues. Last
evening 1t published an alleged in
terview with the editor of The Miner,
which an irresponsible attsche of this
paper dares to reproduce during bis
temporary absence from the Office,
knowing the while that It will offend
that dictator around this shop. But
he ought to be here attending to
business himself. instead of leaving
It to a subordinate. The Herald

"Peace be with you. War has not
yet been declared. The miners aud
the miuing camp merchants of the
north end of Grant county want what
they want. In view of the fact that
they are entitled to something they
haven't got, 1t is but natural that
the Herald should make known their
wants and announce itself as willing
that they should want things"

journalist. "You are as plain and
coherent as a diplomatic note. Lis

Daylight is the one thing that de.

irresistible public opinion, is the sure
cure for public righteousness. A
shining example is furnished by the
recent experience of the Western
Union company in connection with
the collection and sale of racing news
in New York city. The public realized
and the directors of the Western Union
realized what the company was doing,
and Immediately the transmission of
racing news to poolrooms was stop

light, is the surest guarantee of con-
tinued progress toward the better

E. Mark Makes Business.

While at Princeton last week we met
an old friend from Wright county
who paid quite a compliment to the
nerve Of the Mile Laos county stock
dealer, Emmett Mark He stated that
w. O. Merz Of Monticello and Max
Zimmerman Of St. Paul had adver-
tised for a big auction sale of live
stock to be held at Maple Lake on
Aug. 18th. The weather proved to be
quite unfavorable for the sale, how
ever, and the crowd was rather small.
Messrs. Merz and Zimmerman became
quite discouraged over the prospects
for doing business and were about to
call the sale off when Mr.. Mark, who
had just arrived for the purpose of
attending the sale, requested the dis
appointed crowd to remain and he
would try and do some business with
them. He then went to Mr.. Merz and
purchased his entire stock and pro-
ceeded with the sale, which proved to
be lively one, netting him several
hundred dollars profit. All the Merz
and Zimmerman stock and bunch of
horses Mark had brought there with
him, as we'll, were sold off clean and
Mr.. Mark departed for home feeling
pretty good over the transaction and
leaving the Maple Lake crowd con-
siderably impressed with his nerve
and confdence-inspiring qualities

near his shop on East Superior street.
The fence is between the shop and the

Tapping of wings and screening.
The bird is young one and now a

purchased for it.

man was found near the Northern Pa

POLITICS AGAIN ON TRIAL.

1t is extremely doubtful il even the
partisan Democrats of Kentucky will
find anything to be proud of In the
action of the esteemed secretary of
state, in prosecuting newspaper and
some of the men working on it for
saying something about him he didn {
like, in county $50 miles from the
secretary's headquarters and the home
of the newspaper.
Waving any discussion as to the
merits of the gentleman's grievance,
i would have looked much better for
an official occupying the high position
he does, and did at the time. had he
gone about his prosecution in = fair
and dignitied way. He could have Sc
cured indictments just as easily either
at Frankfort or Louisville, but instead
he went to an extreme county where he
knew that large part of the popula-
tion was friendly to him and hostile
to all Republicans, especially those
who dare to impugn the actions of one
of their gifted sons" He doubtless
had reason to believe that without re.
gard to the justice of his cause, he
could hardly fail to get the cases be
fore jury of his friends and political
allies, and that their resentment ia
his behalf would overshadow what
ever tendency they might otherwise
have had to do Justice to all con-
cerned. In this respect he seems to
have been right. The case tried was
decided by jury of true blue Demo
crats,-as are all of those with which
any of the state house crowd has any
thing to do,-and the Democrats did !
their duty. To those who understand
the case, however, the whole proceed
ing was a very contemplate exhibit
ton of the Democratic practice of
using the judicial machinery of the
state to wreak vengeance on political
enemies.

Those who expect peace to grow out
of reported Russian reverses in the far
east are likely to be disappointed. In
the first place, reliable information
relative to the conduct and events Of
the war is hard to get, and in the sec
ond, what is secured bears evidence
of being colored to suit the sentiment
of the people, hence one cannot be GER
tain of getting the truth in the dis
patches sent out from the scene of hos
tilities. Admiral AlexiAff, il he really
applied to be relieved of his position,
did not do it because OF Russian REL
verses, defeats, or misfortunes, but
because the man just appointed TO
command the Russian navy in the far
east, Vice Admiral Skrydoloff, is one
of his worst enemies, and he naturally
desires to escape the unpleasant posi-
bilities which might grow out of the
utuation. The question Of peace.
however, appears to be far from Rus
sia's thoughts, judging from the tenor
of the Russian press. Her defeats
have only accent uated her pugnacity.
She cannot afford to quit now. She has
the men, the ships, unlimited re-
sources and the courage and indomit-
able will-but some of them ave evil
