President Roosevelt, from all ap-
pearances, is greatly perturbed over
the Republican split in Wisconsin and
the reported prospect of Democratic
success there next November. 1t is
rather late now to attempt to heal the
breach. When Governor La Toilette
and the delegation back of him were
turned out Of the Republican national
convention at Chicago an unpardon-
able act was committed. OF course the
battle will now be fought to a finish.
AS a matter of honor there is now no
other course for the La Toilette forces
to pursue.
John O'Reilly, aged 1O5 years. after
GS years Of life in the United States,
recently returned to his kith and kin
III West Cork, Ireland, to pass away
his remaining years. AS he joined the
passengers on the Lucania from New
York all eyes We're turned upon him.
With his chin almost meeting the point
of his nose and his parchment looking
face, he was truly a figure rarely met
with on an ocean liner. During the
passage he had many anxious inquiries
after him, and his reply to all was,
Slept fine; never felt better' He in
deed appeared to have become rejuven-
ated, and he trod the Lucania's deck
with all the elasticity Of youth. Mr..
O'Reilly was born in 1885,

Frank Eddy and the present governor.
When it comes to the matter of a
beauty show these gentlemen will
stand at the head Of the class.
Senator Fairbanks. of Indiana the
Republican candidate for vice presi-
dent, is strong in the belief that the
vice presidential honor will not hurt
him. We hope not In short, there
are growing evidences Oh every hand
that such an honor will not iniure Mr.
Fairbanks, of Indiana, in the least
He shouldn't borrow too much trouble
about this. Better wait until the re-
turns are all in. Some one else may
be called to serve. If this should hap
pen, and it is likely to. the gentleman
from Indiana would be entirely reliev-

around and tell people what great
things he is doing. when. as a matter
of fact. he is doing precious little but

Progress. Dr. S. E. Howard pays the
| following touching tribute to the men,
| Dry of DR.. James II. Dunn:
| Glory of warrior or statesman or king,
All that inheritance ever can bring.
Heaped up riches, smiles of the fair,
Are but small things to the honor YOU
bear.
Husband and father. counsellor, friend,
Low DER thy bier in sorrow we bend.
Learned and simple, of whatever birth,
All know friend has vanished from

Too few indeed were the years of thy
life,
Yet crowded full of heroic strife.
With honors we'll earned the tale is
replete,
Short as it was, tbs finished complete.
