WITTY HONEYMOON JOKE.
Newly Married Couple on a Tour Leave
Their Train In This City Because
of a Printed Give Away. 70.

A newly married couple, upon their
tour of bliss from their home in
Philadelphia to the exposition at
Portland, stopped over in Jamestown
Saturday evening, having peen pas
sengers on the North Coast Limited
awaiting another train for the west.
The young people, altho evidently
of refinement, wealth and social po-
sition, were not altogether happy.
They we're the victims of their
friends at home.
When the train left st. Paul the
news and peanut butcher passed thru
The train distributing circulars in
form and makeup similar to those
used by sneriffs and marshals when
Offering reward for the apprehen.
sion Of criminals. The dodger had
the half-tone portraits Of both bride
and groom and was headed in circus
poster type with the words "Liberal
Reward.' Then followed: "Will be
paid for information regarding Miss
and Mr.. who were re-
Gently married." A complete de-
scription accompanies the portraits
and the jokers aver ''They are very
loving and in case you meet them,
treat them kindly and attempt not
to notice their billing and cooing."
The Indignation of the young peo-
pie can be imagined as they re
ceived one of these circulars so gen.
erously distributed and noticed the
attention that was suddenly bestowed
upon them. They heard: the giggl-
ing and The witty joshing OF other
passengers. All seemed to find an
excuse to ask them some question.
When the groom bribed the boy and
was told that the butchers all along
the line had been supplied with the
laugh.provoking ''give-- away" they
decided to change trains.

would not have accepted third
term, because of the so-oalled mis-
management of the party, and because
bis ideal political principles would
not permit him to do so. But--those
who know why Mr.. Spaulding was
not renominated know that a good
reason existed viz, that the delegates
from his own county of Cass, the
largest in the state, were not in
harmony in desiring his renomin
alton.
Mr.. Spaulding has made an average
congressman. has done his duty by
his constituents as far as the
routine work of congressman goes.
His votes on public questions we're
not materially different from that Of
other members of the state delega-
tion in congress. That he has the
failings as we'll as the virtures of
the average congressman, is shown
in his vote for what is known as
the mileage grab, bill to get a
large sum of money as pay for travel
ing over miles of country which
travelling was never done.
There is no special service or brilli-
ant record that projects Mr.. Sparld-
ing over and above the average able
citizen Of the state, and the people
are not specially indebted to him for
any great benefit or act that promotes
their interests.
1t is also known, that after serving
one term. Mr.. Spaulding was de-
fe ated at the Grand Forks conven-
tion in 1898 for denomination, not
for anv dissatisfaction by the conven-
tion with bis. record in congress, but
because of what was considered his
arbitrarily trying to dictate the
other nominations on the ticket.
This attempt was naturally resented
by the delegates and his own defeat
was the result. At the following
convention in 1900 Mr.. Spaulding was
again considered and renominated
for congress showing that his!6rst de-
feat was not due to opposition by the
delegates and party managers to bis
record, which he now claims was the
cause of bis defeat for another nom
ination last year.
Is there anything in the record OF
either Mr.. Devine or Mr.Spaulding to
warrant placing him back again In
Office for any special benefit they can
bring the people? If not, is there
any reason why any special weight
should be given to their personal
grievances; or to their arguments and
compla ints of abuses, which the aver
age citizen can easily see are mostly
aginary.

Chicago, July 19.-One Of the trans
portation surprises of the season is
the travel to the Lewis and Clark ex-
position at Portland, Ore. Last winter
whan rates were being made railroad
men were somewhat doubtful about a
large amount of business to the fair.

but during the past two weeks travel
has been unusually heavy and now
agents of the roads are besieged with
inquiries. General Passenger Agent
Miller of the Chicago Milwaukee and
St. Paul road said:
I'VE are agreeably surprised with
the business to the exposition. We
anticipated early in the season heavy
volume of business to Portland from
points east of the Missouri river, but
the amount Of travel at present is far
beyond our anticipattons. The expo
sition drawing thousands of Eastern
ers is the best thing that ever hap
pened to the North Pacific coast and
