Some amusing things were witnessep
during the recent city campaign. For
a saloonkeeper and a city official all
serving together on one of the com
mittees. In another case we had a
minister of the gospel, an ex-saloon-
keeper and a business man all on the
same election board. While all of then
We're good men, the question arise
Does politics really make strange bed

A recent dispatch from San Fran
cisco states that the grand jury has
returned five indictments against Mayor
F. Schmitz and Abraham Ruef on the
charges of extortion. On each charge
the bail was fixed at $4,000 and the
bond at $780, In the light of this
fact the bold move of Reuf in attempt
ing to seize upon the machinery of the
courts a couple of weeks ago becomes
even more striking than when origin
ally announced.

Evidently the Hadley family is en-

says the Tacoma News. Cassius c.
Hadley has just been elected judge of
the Indiana appellate court after serv-
ing several years as deputy attorney
general On the Indiana supreme
court bench is John V. Hadley, now
ably serving his second term. In the
State of Washington is Judge Hadley,
one of the able members of the supreme
bench, and in the State of Missouri is
Attorney General Hadley, who has
been making it mighty interesting fol
Standard Oil. All these Hadleys are
related, all were reared in Indiana and
are all republicans.

Last weeks Times contained rather
bitter attack on this paper because Of
what it called "a vicious attack and
insidious insinuations" against the
character of Mr.. Spring and the
Domain Drug Co. OF course, the
whole item is a fabrication, pure and
simple, and entirely unworthy of Mr..
Pettijohn, if he wrote the article,
which we much doubt. We did not in
any way "attack" Mr.. Spring, the
Domain Drug Co., or any one else,
We simply stated what, in our opinion,
the public might expect from the can
didates of the Republican party, and
did not even mention the name of
either Mr.. Spring or Mr.. Domain.
We have nothing against either of
these gentlemen and know nothing
about either Of them personally. We
opposed Mr.. Spring for treasurer
simply because we were favorable tC
Mr.. Kalkwarf and, unlike our frienc
Pettijohn, we have not yet learned how
to be on both sides of the political fence
at one and the same time. The article
in the Times was wholly uncalled for
was not justified by the facts, and is I,
be deplored. While we had hoped 1,
get along peaceably with the Times w
must not be expected to submit t,
attacks Of this or any other nature
and if our friend is really looking fot
a little scrap he can be accom-
modated

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

The following, where a moral is
clearly shown, is taken from an ex-
change: Recently church congrega-
ton in little Kansas town built Il
new church. To pay for it they were
obliged to call upon the merchants Of
the community for donations. The
merchants responded literally and $500
was raised from this SOURCE. The last
man asked to subscribe was John
Smith, a ieweler. II will give you
$40 if you will let me add something to
the subscription list he said. The
permission was accorded him, and he
wrote at the foot of the list:
John Smith, jeweler. .........-.$2 $40 0C
Sears, ROebuck & Co............ 90 OC
Montgomery, Ward & Co...... 90 0C
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the pulpit
the list of donors to the building fund
and since the dedication of the church
there have been no mail orders sent
out from that Kansas town.

A Valuable Invention.
An Order to Equip All the mills of the

An Order to Equip All the mills of the
American Wooden Co. Received.
j. II. Potter, purchasing agent of the
American Wooden Company, has just
issued an order to the Prescott Manu-
featuring Company of this place, through
its president, George Z Prescott, for
the equipment of every loom in the
mills controlled by the American Wool
on Company with the Prescott lug strap
fastener. This immense order which
calls for almost 10000 fasteners was
given by Mr. Potter only after the
patent fastener had been thoroughly
tested aud found to fill long felt wan
The company have already begun
equipping the Washington mills at
Lawrence, Mass, which has 1888 looms
and the other mills of this great corpor.

of holding the lug strap in place has
been entirely unsatisfactory and ever
expensive. Several attempts were made
by well known inventors TO devise more
economic means, but it was not unit
Geo. E. Prescott secured a patent on biz
lug strap fastener that anything worth
while was accomplished.
Textile manufacturers at first refused
to take Mr.. Prescott's patent seriously
unable to see how it could possibly dc
all that was claimed for it. A Trial fol
the fastener was finally given by some
manufacturers, with the universal re-
suit that a complete order was given
The climax however came with the
American Wooden Company's big order
and the success of the Prescott fast
ener is now assured.
The officers of this company are Geo
f. Prescott, president and inventor
Clyde II. Smith, manager; Nathan
Fowler, treasurer.
