RECORD OF Or. HARE
ON COMMISSION BILL
1t Proves That the Movement Had no
More Ardent Supporter in the
Last Legislature.

Since a majority of the voters in this
county are in favor OF the creation of
a railroad commission. so large a ma
jority of them. in fact. that one might
say all favored the plan. it might he
well TO remind them that at this time
the position of one of our candidates
for the legislature DR. Hare. who rep
resented the county ably and in man
ner that gave it added prestige in po-
litical matters throughout the State in
the last general assembly. The Herald
desires to review Mr.. Hare's connection
with this proposed legislation in sup
port OF its present position in regard
80 his present candidacy. believing that
if reelected, he can and will do more
than any other man in the county to-
wards securing the passage of a law
creating railroad commission. His
record in the last legislature does not
bear out the assertion of a few politi-
cal enemies that he is a railroad can
didate. for the simple reason that the
railroads are not apt to support or
tolerate man for any Office who would
work as openly and faithfully as he
did to secure a law that would in any
measure restrict or control them
As soon as the last general assembly
convened the forces all united on Dr.
Hare for speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives. When the caucusses had all
been held and the candidates thorough
ly discussed and understood. it develop
ed that 81 members of the house had
pledged themselves to vote for him for
speaker, and that of this number PC
a majority, We're generally known to
be in favor of. and in fact were pledg-
ed to work for and if possible secure
the passage of commission bill. 1t
is hardly probable that these 90 men
would have voted for DR.. Hare for
speaker under those circum, tanccs il
they had not known he was himself
sincerely in favor of commission.
All of his acts as speaker of the house
show that he did all that any man in
the position could do. and much more
than many would have done to secure
the passage of the BILL At the close of
The session, when tae business was be
ing closed mp on the last day. Mr.. Ma
loney and Mr.. Crai2ue escorted Dr. Hare
TO the bar Of the house. whore Ny Lind

Webber's Chances Improving.

As election grows nearer the conf
dence of all who are following the cam
paign closely in the success of the en-
tire republican ticket grows stronger.
Nearly every visitor to the lower end
of the county. where it was feared the
democrats would be successful. if at all,
report that every indication points 20
the election of the republican county
ticket without an exception. Mr.. Web
Der. nominee for the office of sheriff, is
gaining in strength daily. and even the
most ardent supporters of his opponent
short time ago are now said to be adj
hitting and even betting that Weber
will have a ma ority scarcely smaller
tnan the average on the ticket. The al
legged division of sentiment in regard
to Mr.. Mead for governor was either
without foundation or else has van
ished entirely. The farmers are con
WINGED that the hope of railroad COM
mission being created at the coming
session of the general assembly lies in
the election of Il republican governor
and legislature. and having lost faith
in the sincerity of Turner are turning
to Mead and the republican nominees
in noticeable numbers.

Postoffice in New Quarters.

Postmaster Lemon and his assistants
moved the postoffice and all of the old
fixtures. etc, which are to be used in
the new location in the Caldwell block,
Saturday night, Strengthened things up
in good shape and were ready to serve
the patrons at the delivery windows
on Sunday morning. The new Office is
much admired, and the added conven-
fences are duly appreciated. The change
necessary in the numbers of the boxes
was made with little confusion, and no
one seems to mind the added distance
necessary to go for mail. If any are
inclined to kick it should be remem-
bered that it was Hobson's choice with
Postmaster Lemon. He endeavored to
secure an extension of his lease on the
property previously occupied, but the
owner of the building has other plans
and declined to renew the lease

There the girls entertain you cross

There the maids are all comley, sweet

Yet they juggle with chop-sticks when

There they always receive you in but

With their hats like young haystacks
and cheeks like the rose,

St. Louis, April 21.-Without kith or

wood, aged 70, claiming to have former
ly been a professor at Eaton, England,
died today in the charity ward of the

he was able to give the authorities be-

wood was utterly alone in the world,
having no relatives in America or in
England, from whence he came to this
country three years ago.
His apparent education and refine
ment attracted the attention of the at
tendants and he was prevailed upon
to tell something of himself, but he re
fused to say much concerning his life
He contracted a severe cold, which re
suited in death. Unless the body is
claimed, it is stated that interment will
be made in the potter's field.

Mr.. Herchey broke the twenty-five
clay pigeons thrown out by the trap,
and in the doubles at the same number
he broke twenty-three. The members
OF the club look a whirl at twenty-five
