Divorce Suit Dismissed.

Last Thursday James Clark filed q
motion in the Office of the clerk of the
district court to dismiss the action for
divorce filed about two months ago

WAS afraid he would talk him out of it.

Has Hoch Money.

Ex Representative w. g. Millar is
one prominent Barber county republi-
can who thinks Ed Hoch will win out
in walk at the forthcoming republl.
can convention at Wichita April 9th,
and he Is anxious to back his judgment
with the ''long green" There are none
to "call" him.
MIR. Millar's judgment in forecast
ing nominations is usually good. He
has not missed guess to our knowl-
edge. He predicted Stanley's nomlna-
tion in 1898. Burton's senatorial cleo
tion, Bailey's nomination in 1902 and
Longs senatorial election year ago.
He made all these predictions early in
the respective campaigns, just as he
does his Hoch prediction now, and 1t is
on this account that the machine men
here are afraid 20 take any Of his HOch
money.
MIR. Millar says he is not taking an
active part in the Hoch campaign, but
he has been over the state considerably
since the inception of the movement
and be bases his judgment on what he
has seen and heard. He was in the big
Hoch meeting at Topeka few weeks
ago and while he probably was not
wholly in sympathy with it. yet it is
believed that he leans that way. Billie
generally does his own thinking and IS
the strongest single handed republican
worker in the republican ranks west of
Wichita.

In recent issue or The Republican a story of some length was printed respecting the mining operations Of the Ryan-W Whitney syndicate and some of Che plans proposed for the future ac- tiyities of that group Of capitalists.

4 REAL WINTER RESORT
Tomato Harvest is in Full Blast at a
 Phoenia Mine.

In the matter of winter resorts Phoe- nix thinks it is about all there is of it, but Capt. J. F. Smith. who has charge of the Phoenix mine, says that there Is a little patch of country in that vicinity that has this valley skinned to a farewell. As the Phoenix mine is only a few miles north of town and the pros perity of that small set tlement only adds that much to the prosperity of Phoenix there Is no req sen for refusing Captain Smith and his neighbors a hearing.
 He came in on Saturday and reported that while it had been a thousand de- grees below zero in the east and cold enough Tn Phoenix to make people hGg the fires and speculate on the wood supply and the possibility of fruit being nippcd. up at Phoenix mine it has been as warm and pleasant as a poets dream Of vernaI SDlaadors- There has been neither ice Tor frost, notwithstanding the altitude is consid- e~ably greater than this valley. The lowest the thermometer had oeeu th;s year when he left there was S6 degrees below zero.
 But that isn't all Mir. Smith says that the garden patch near the mme seems to have an Idea that it ,s su;n- mer instead of winter.

A Queer TangIe

Dispatches in the daily press from
Chelan, last Saturday, relate a remark
able condition of affairs in regard 10 j..
A. Macarthur, of Entiat, the republic
can nominee for county commissioner
from the third district. BY some error
the name of A. II. Macarthur was
printed on the ballots instead OF j. A.
Macarthur. BY strange coincident
there is an A. II. Macarthur, who lives
at Chelan Falls. The dispatch from
Chelan is AS follows:
A most remarkable situation has de-
veloped in Chelan county over the re-
suits of the county commissioner vote
from the Third district, because cleo
tors voted for Il man not nominated for
Office. The man who was nominated by
the republican county convention seems
certain to lose the office, although u
majority of electors thought they were
voting for him. His democratic rival,
who received smaller vote may be en-
titled to the office under the law. He
also became the father of twins on cleo
ton day.
Rev. j. A. Macarthur, of Entiat, was
the republican nominee of the county
convention, but when the names of the
nominees were printed on the official
ballot an error was made and the line
on the ballot read: "For county com
missioner, Third district, A. Ii. Nc
Arthur" By an overwhelming major
ity the nominee was chosen for the Of
flee, and there is an A. II. Macarthur
at Chelan Falls. who now claims he has
been elected commissioner and is ready
to qualify for the office.
The election law is interpreted to
mean that only regular nominees Of a
political convention or persons nomi-
mated by petition may be placed on an
official ballot and voted for. Politicians
and lawyers all over the county are
taking sides in the dispute, the friends
of the preacher declaring he should be
given the office, as the electors thought
they were voting FOR him. Friends of
A. H. Macarthur declare that election
authorities cannot go "behind the re-
turns" and that the returns show that
he has been duly elected.
The democrats may come forward
and claim the election for Charles Coz
yer, as he seems to have been the only
duly qualified nominee on the ticket,
claims to the office, his entire time be-
ing taken up with the parental duties
which devolve upon man W no sud-
denly finds himself the father of twins.
