is the Republican nominee for Sheriff;
vote for Robert Stamp because he is
well qualified for the position for which
he has been nominated; vote for Rob-
ert Stamp because he has always fare
ly and squarely and without any con-
sideration represented his town in all
conventions to which he has been cleo
ted to represent his town as delegate

seeks to disrupt the party which has
honored him; he is seeking to become
beast of burden for the purpose of
conveying half-breed votes to the Dem
ocratic county candidates the same as
Mr.. Mcdonald is offered as beast OF
burden to convey the same class OF
goods to the same port of entry. The
News believes and hopes that Messrs.
Hanson and Mcdonald will follow the

inee for coroner, and decline to be useC

Northern Wisconsin, near Trout lake
in Villas county. James A. Wright is
the president and general manager in
the woods of the H. w. Wright Lum-
Der Company. In this capacity he
has come in contact with the labor
ing men and farmers of this section,
and we have yet to hear of man
among them that is not supporter
and friend of Mr.. Wright. This
speaks more eloquently than any
words of ours of the integrity, sound
Judgment and goodness of heart of
Mr.. Wright. A man who can retain
the confidence and friendship of his
fellow workers is certainly qualified
to be the peoples representative. Per-
sonally Mr.. Wright is the embodiment
of a wholesouled, generous and pleas
ant gentleman. The laboring man is
treated with the same courtesy and
consideration as the financial magnate
on business bent. with James A.
wright there is no class nor distinc-

THE ~NEW THOUGHTERS.-
What Is Taught in Their Summer
School at Mount dry.

The New Thoughters" have founded sum
mer school two or three miles back of Osca-
wanna-on-the- Hudson the side OF Mount
Airy. Last year about one hundred and fifty
persons attended the school, and this year it is
expected that than two hundred, who
are coming from different parts of the world.
viii make application for shelter and food IN
order that they may absorb the thought vi
brations which now emanate from Mount
Any.
As in the of Yankee Doodle. who had diff
nculty in perceiving the city because there were
50 many houses, one has difficulty in finding
the school" because there are so many boarding
Establishments. The first evidences OF IL are
boarding houses perched up above the ROAD.
They almost fall forward into the climbing
street they are so close to it. On the porches are
women and an occasional man. Their coun-
tenances bear no indication OF the strain in
volVed in cultivating the New Thought Ihey
look much like ordinary summer boarders.
Then one sees a little building up in the edge
Of the woods. but no means of reaching it Fur
Their on are bungalows and cottages OF other
i.yias tucked away in slightly corners. Neither
do they to have a connection with the
highway The white roof Of tent cleaning
through the branches suggests that the centre
Of the vibrations Is near at hand. and the sur
mise proves to be well founded. Reaching 1t.
however, is like trying to find the way into Fair
Eosamonds bower. At last discovers
Roadway turning into a field besprnked with
daisies and leading up to plain structure
whose exterior suggests a neat barn. The bull
letn beside the door indicates that 1t is the
gathering place of the New Thoughters" Be
!ond in an open space behind the trees in the
rear OF the hall, several tents.
Outside the nearest tent the other day was a
young man of medium height smoking Il ciga-
rette and wrestling with fire on which he was
trying to cook his evening meal The fire was
snouldering and sputtering in a crude fireplace
built against q rock. After muttered 'Gosh!
the wrestler turned to see who his guests were

unwilling to discuss the belief Of which he was a
follower
1.-The New Thoughters.' he explained sitting
down In the door Of his tent like Abraham,
believe that all life, whether vegetable or ami
NAL. is portion of God that God and life are
one and so all life is related. Instead however
OF believing the Christian Scientists do, that
there is no sin disease, the New Thoughters'
recognize the existence Of both and offer as a
cure high thinking and mental carnations from
persons who have derived force from living and
thinking Alright The mental healers OF the
New Thought supposed to have obtained
their curative power in this way.
There are two methods of healing They are
the absent and the present treatment. In
absent treatment the healer thinks about the
patient wherever the latter may be- 1t makes
no difference how great the distance between the
two. A girl in the Channel Islands had spinal
meningitis when she three years old. At
the age Of twenty-five she had never walked,
and was beginning to grow blind. mental
healer in New-York after seeing her photo
graph, began to treat her. She was cured
BY absent treatment any one may be cured
of any habit without the person subject to it
being aware of the treatment. Such persons

when you receive present treatment the
healer sits down opposite you and taking your
hand shuts his eyes and thinks about your re-
covery. He expects you to recover and this In
spires you to think as he does. Disease is the

There was one dietary crank who. if she was
invited out. would take small package of her

The New Thought leaders opened the school
on Mount Airy three years ago. Since that time
21O acres of ground in picturesque place have
been bought On this. in the edge of the woods,
has been erected the building already mentioned.
for daily lectures. the weekly musicals and
dances and the other public affairs; another
building Is used for the housing of the circu-
lating library and as headquarters. Seat
tered about among the trees a number OF
tents occupied by those New Thoughters'' who
believe in going as far back to nature the
usual conventions accepted by civilized beings
will permit. Several cottages of greater or less
cost, according to the capacity of the owners

visitors to the school. however, take pot luck"
