LONDON, March 31.-Libel laws in
England are enforced with great sever
ity, and accidents of the kind that will
happen in the best regulated news
papers occasionally have to be paid for
just as though they were the products
of yillainy and malice aforethought.
An instance of this occurred recently
which has caused a Surrey newspaper
TO be mulcted in $3.50 damages Going
to press in a hurry two stories got
mixed up. one relating to a woman's
suit for divorce and the other to a po-

The open letter of Jno. s. GogiD, of
Osnabrock, anent the political situation
in the Fortieth district showed that the
feeling of democrats down that wayisany-
thing but of nature such as could be
described as panic, occasioned by the
new political departure of Senator c..
w. Plain, who recently announced his
affiliation with the insurgent wing of
the republican party. The language of
Mr.. Gogin in his letter does not indicate
telling of anger, but rather expresses
one of regret at the apparent short
sightedness of the state senator. in not
recognizing that so many of the funda-
ametal principles of the good govern
ment league republicans are merely re-
modelling of what good democracy has
stood and fought for in the campaigns
of years past.

ITS A DOUBLE HEADER,
Two Sets of Republican State Dele
gates Put on Primary Ballot
SPRUNG on TUESDAY,

Yesterday afternoon a petition was
filed which will result in the placing of
second set of candidates on the repub-
llcan ballot at the primaries for dele
gates to the state convention. This new
set OF names may properly be considered
as IN opposition to the one selected at
the time of the party gathering held in
this city three weeks ago, when it was
supposed that the opposing factions had
agreed to compromise. The last as it
appears below will be noted as contain
ing six of the names appearing in the
delegation first selected, the balance be-
ing made up of men whom it is conceed-
ed stand opposed to the plans of the
reorganizers. The move is one that has
been anticipated from the first and will
certainly add to the interest shown at
the primaries.

The adjourned preliminary hearing of
Matt Doyle is expected to have been
taken up yesterday forenoon at Snow

The neighbors and friends of f.
Wienecke, the republican candidate for
commissioner in the First district-es-
p-cially so his democratic neighbors
and friends-have at last reasonable
grounds for hope they have him headed
in the right direction. I is understood
that while in Langdon this week the
state democratic committeeman. Mr.. H.
D. ALERT. induced Winecke to become
the purchaser and wearer of pair of
guaranteed democratic shoes. which be
it known, had formerly covered the
shapely No. lis of Mr.. ALERT. With
such a good start off, chances seem good
of covering Wieneck's entire person with
simon pure democratic garb and perhaps
changing his views politically Stranger
things have happened--the Plain flop
for instance.

DEATH OF SAM SCHWARTZ
Well Known lanedon Boy Died Sunday Fore
noon After Brief Illness.

Soloman j. Schwartz, more commonly
known to his many friends around town
as Sam died Sunday morning about
ten o'clock at his rooms on Fourth
street. He had-never known what it was
is to enjoy the full strength of manhood,
and though almost thirty years of age
sickness and physical deformity had
untitled him to fight lifes battle with
a fair show in competition with his fell
low men. But it was only about two
weeks ago that he was compelled by the
illness, that finally ended in his passing
away, to lay aside his occupation of each
day and remain at home. About eight
days before the end he took to his bed
and was as fully aware as the doctors
attending him that death was drawing
near. Bright's disease had for some
time past been making fatal inroads on
his health and strength and towards the
last caused the sufferer much pain.
Mr.. Schwartz came to Langdon from
the old family home at Mildmay. Ont,
about three years ago. four of his
brothers, L. Schwartz, deputy in the
register of deeds office, Frank Schwartz,
iailer and court house janitor, Peter
Schwartz and Urban Schwartz, of Mt.

before. A father j. S. Schwartz and
