REPUBLICAN SLATE
Gang Meets and Decides on Who
are to Receive Nominations
This Year.
Will Let the Delegates Name
Candidates for all Minor Of
fees, Just to Pacify
Them.


Them.
The "gang" got together a
few days ago and made up
their slate, which is as follows:
THE SLATE.
Sheriff-John Blackmere.
County Treasurer-Andrew
Heglie.
Register of Deeds-August
Nelson.
County Auditor-P. H. STEM
ersen.
Clerk of District Court-H.
c. N. Myhra.
States Attorney-Chas. E.
Wolfe.
County Judge-O. J. Wake
field.
County surveyor-J. Q. Bur-
bank.
Co. Supt. of Schools-W. r.
Fitzpatrick.
1t was decided to let the dele
gates select all the minor Of
fees, such as justices of the
peace. constables, ETC., just to
pacify them. And if there is
too much of "roar" they have
decided to let them have one
office on the above slate, but it
was positively decided that at
the very worst they would not
let them have over two. How
ever they expect the slate to go
through without change.
AS soon as the delegates ar
rive in this city the leaders will
get hold of just enough of the
delegates to carry this slate
through. They will approach
only the delegates they know
they can swing. Others will be
around among the delegates
they can't swing, "jollying"
them up and telling them that
they want the convention as a
whole to decide who shall 90
on the ticket, that there is no
"gang rule" this time, etc.
We print this 80 that those
seeking nominations, whose
names do not appear on the
slate, can come prepared, and
if they make a hard enough
"roar' they may succeed in
forcing the gang" to make one
change on the slate, with the
least possible chance of two.
There is only one thing we
can see for the delegates to do
who are not owned by the
gang" and that is, when they
see how things are going, to
simply walk out of the conven-
ton and stay out until the
gang" comes to their terms
and gives them at least two of
the good Offices. If they just
make their intentions known
before the convention meets we
predict that it will have a
tendency to force the "gang" to
give them a fair chance of win
ming at least two of the good
offices. But if these delegates
don't get together there is not
the slightest hopes for them.

HOW TO DIG YOUR BAIT.
Good Lesson for Fishermen Taught by the Little Woodcoek in Get
 ting It's Meals.

Choosing piece of chocolate col ored. rich looking soil, the woadcock dng some IS or 20 holes in this soil, an inch or two apart, with his bill. Then he began a kind of cake walk. He beat the earth with his wings; he rapped 1t with his bill sharply; leap ing into the air, he alighted, stiff and heavy. on bis feet
 Was the waodcock insane? Evident. ly not. For now the noses of many in quisitive earthworms began to protrude from the holes the bird had drilled. The earthworms had heard the noise and they wished to know what the trouble was. They turned their heads slowly from side to side. The wood cock devoured them, one by one.
 That is the way woodcocks get earth worms to eat; and fishermen may learn a lesson from the birds If fisher man will make a number of holes in the soil and then beat upon the earth with his knuckles the worms under meath will come Up through the holes to find out what is going on, and their capture will be easy.

LIFE OF POOR IN RUSSIA.
Lead Forlorn Existence These Days.

As rule Russian village is for lorn looking place, where the huts of the poor are maderof birch logs, with upright oak or pine supports, ceiling of strips of the same birch and walls lined with the crude branches, says Social Service. In these huts there are only two rooms, one of which is not for everyday use, but is kept for best occasions, This room houses those sacred images so dear to the heart of every member of the Greek church, to which belong the great mass of the Russian people.
 The other room serves the purpose of both kitchen and sieeping-room, as one of the principal ideas of comfort to these people, ice and snowbound for so many months of the year. is warmth. In many of the peasant huts no beds are used and the top of a great stove, reaching nearly to the roof, is much sought sleeping place. Although the conditions make dirt and accompany ing results inseparable in the life of these peasants, they are devotedly fond of bathing. The vapor bath in a crude form may be called national insti- tuition and not unusual picture of a summer afternoon is the village pond filled with women and children bath. CTS.

HELPING THE BOYS
 TO GET STRONG

Arthur Duffey, the worlds champion sprlnter, has been giving some good advice to schoolboys who want to be athletes. The spreading popularity Of track and field sports among boys i'll their teens Is making for more whole some lie among many thousands of them. They are finding new incentives 10 braclng and vigorous activity, and coupled with it the foundation princi- ples of health. For example, they will listen with respectful attention to the advice of Mir Duffey, when observance means winning races, and will paste Tn their hats such wise counsel as this:
 Let the diet be plain. Dispense with pastries, candies, and above all never smoke tobacco or drink alcoholic liquors when in training. You will do better without the two latter at all times. Cigarettes are fatal to athletes. Bathe daily and always use a rough towel after bath, and after taking your exercise. Never overtax your self nor exhaust all your strength i'll any trial. Always finish your trainr ing with something left in you Only work the hardest in the race itself. Finally let me impress on all aspiring athletes the fact that rigidness of purpose in training and steady perse- Verance are as essential as the bull dog determination necessary to land you winner at the tape"
 A champion nugilist has recently ex' pressed himself in q similar vein, and although his calling may be disrepu- table, bis ideas are well worth place in every active and ambitious boys memory
 If had younger brother I would do my best to make an athlete of him. That does not mean that would like to have him follow In my footsteps and become a fighter. Being . second class fighter is about the hardest way to make a living know of would want him to be an athlete because no man can get the best results out of life without exercising and nerfecting his body, have read that the old Greeks were of the same opinion. They thought that no man could have an ae- tive brain unless he had good, strong body for the brain to draw upon. If I were to advise any boy and tell him how to live, I would make him go out in the morning and run. Rum ming is the best possible exercise, and it does not require any gymnasium or apparatus. A good circulation is the best thing in the world to make an ac- tive brain. If had boy and I wanted him to become a successful business man when he grew up. I would send him out to run over the hills. ."-The Illustrated Sporting News

JAPANESE LOWERING BEANS
A Novel Climbing Plant That Has Re- gently Become Popuiar-Come in
 a Variety of Tintings.

One scarcely knows whether to call the novel climber that has recently become so popular dwarf wistaria or d giant Swansonia. The name flow ering bean" by which it promises to be- come generally known, scarcely seems appropriate, but 1t seems to cling to it since it's introduction from Japan, as 1t come to this country known as the Jap anese wistria bean," and was found to be such a profuse bloomer that it was immediately dubbed 'tfiowering bean. ,"
 The white variety is especially. lux uriant in it's Towering. and it very close ly resembles the white wistaria in it's manner of producing the immense how- CT clusters, and the form of it's individu- al flowers. The sweet pea form of its blooms and it's fragrance also gives it a striking resemblance to the white Swansonia. The pink and scarlet varie- ties of Towering beans also closely re- semble the sweet peas. or their friend the Swansonia; but in these all re- semblance to the wistaria is lost, as there is no trace of the blue tintings so con- mon in these thrifty climbers,

M'LEAN WILL WAIT.

There exists good ground on which may rest the statement that the sen atorial contest i'll this state for the place to be lamentably vacated by Sen ator Joseph K. Hawley, is to be con- fined to tue efforts of two men. Celebratedly. one of these two is Samuel Fessenden of Stamford. The other, much les conspicuous is Morgan G. Bulkely Of Hartford.
 This statement of course carries with it the assumption that ex,Gover- nor George F. Mclean of Simsbuly is not to be candidate. and there are reasons, which analysed, make for the assertion that Governor Mclean will not be candidate for senator at this time. His friends are quoted as say ing that he would not oppose Cover nor Rulkeley. He is young and can wait. and moreover is willing to wait
 Since the Fessenden men by q pro cess of legerdemain succeeded in ob- taining control of the state organiza- tion. with Kenealy in the saddle and spurs ready to dig into the flesh for the cause Of Fessenden the other side have been moving most busily. It couldn't be supposed that there would be supine acquiescence i'll plans which although they had temporarily succeeded, had as their aim the over throw of treasured and established party conditions.

CHURCHES THAT OWE ROSES.

A quaint and pretty ceremony comes each year with the blooming of the rose in Central Pennsylvania. It is known as the Feast of the Roses" and occurs usually on the first or second Sunday, in June. This year Sunday, 18th instant, has been selected as the date for the ceremony. Roses are everywhere to be seen and the air is heavy with the perfume. Years ago, when the congregations Of the churches were not so wealthy as they are now, men who were wellrtov do in the world set aside lots of ground and devoted them to churches. So as to prevent lawsuits and heirs from breaking in. they declared in the agreements that the corgre2a- tions could forever hold the land and oftentimes the building, the rent for the same to be "One Red Rose" of a designated variety, to be paid annual ly lon the second Sunday of June Ill each and every year, The payment of the rent is an event or great mo- ment in the communities of Lebanon and Lancaster counties, It is usual for an heir to be present and receive the rose from the chairman of the church committee. The Tulpehocken Reformed Church, near this place, will not have a celebration this year, but will send by messenger a rose to Dillwyn Wistar of Germantown, one of the heirs of Caspnr Wistar, this being the annual rental. A receipt will be given in due form and placed among the church papers. Years ago Caspar Wistar donated the ground on which the parsonage and church stand.
 The greatest festival of the year will be at Mannheim, where a represent tative of the heirs of Baron Steigel will be present to receive his tithe. It is likely Governor Pennypacker will deliver the principal address. r, Philadelphia Ledger.

Framed in Gold and Insured for $4O,-

Framed in Gold and Insured for $4O,-
 O0O
 Largest and most interesting of any packages in the hold of the liner Si- Derla, which arrived Friday from the OIleht, was the gold-framed portrait of the doWaGer empress of China. The frame measures twenty by ten feet and the massive case in which it is packed is of much greater dimensions. the picture is going ill bond to St. LOUIS Where it will be the star fea- lure of China's exhibit At the close of the exposition the work of art will De presented, in the name of the origi- nal ot the portrait to the American people.
 Ihe, portrait was painted by Miss Kate Augusta Carl, an American artist, Wno was born and raised in the south. Allss CafPs maternal grandfather was surgeon in the British army who resigned bis commission aud emigrat- ed to Canada. Her mother was cous- III or Lady Hart, and her father a nephew of Baron yon Humboldt. Miss 1 IaFls brother holds all official posi- tlon under the Chinese government ana IS one of China's commissioner s TO the St. Louis exposition.
 It was while on visit to her broth CT that Miss Carl met the Empress of China. Miss Carl Is a friend of Min lster Conger, who stands high in the esteem of the empress. As her broth CT sister and as Minister Conger' $ friend, Miss Carl found easy access to tne palace. The empress is m artist or some skill and in art the two found a mutual interest and their acquaint- ance Flpened into something as near intimacy IS possible under the circrm, stances The empress consented to sit to Miss Carl for q portrait and the massive box in the Siberia's hold con ta1ns the canvas 10 which Miss Carl transferred in oil the features of her imperial friend and sister artist. The painting of the picture occupied two years,
 It was carried from Picking to Woo snng on railroad built for the puF- pose at an expense of 250,000 taeis. It was placed on the Siberia at Shang- hai.
 She Nang Hoo. who was civil gov ernor of the TungyIng circuit. Chili province. during the Boxer troubles, was appointed custodian of the por- trait Accompanied by his secretary, Law Chan Poo, he arrived yesterday on the Siberia. and will leave in q few days on the train that carries the pie ture to St, Louis. Shen Nang Hoo speaks no English. but he would like to. and is so generally interested in ey- erybody he meets and everything he sees that he is oyerworking Law an Poo, who is also his interpreter. and who speaks English like q Londoner.
 The Chinese people. 1t is said. do not altogether approve of the pictures leaving China. and fears are expressed that in sending the counterfeit features of their empress to q foreign land an invitation is extended to the gods. to visit death upon the rash original of the portrait. The picture, however, is insured for $40,000.
