This twentieth century ghost story
Is told by the London Chronicles: "A
ghost of bellicose tendencies is troub-
ling the peace Of mind Of the occu-
pants Of an old-fashioned inn in a VII
lage near Pontypool. According to the
narrative Of the proprietor, uncanny
noises have been heard almost nightly
for some weeks. A few nights ago the
landlords son, after he hid retired for
the night, heard click, as though
some one had pulled the trigger Of
pistol. This was followed by groan.
ing noise and the slamming Of door.
HE conducted search through the
house, but could find nothing unusual.
"A day or two later customer put up
at the inn for the night. Soon after
he had retired he aroused the land
lord in alarm and complained that
while in bed he was struck on the face
two or three times by some mysterious
figure. He struck light, but, to his
surprise, found himself alone in the
room. There were marks on his cheek
where he had been struck.
Nor could the proprietor throw light
on the occurrence. He told Of fur.
ther curious incident. Some months
ago strange odor was noticed in one
Of the rooms, and when the floor
boards were taken up wreath Of lilies
of the valley in a good state Of preser.

Hallock News: The Democrats Of
Minnesota are getting to be justla bit
arrogant. They imagine because they
have, by duke. succeeded In electing
two governors they do what they
please. Their seif-confdence is due
to have a severe Jolt this fail. There
never was time when this state was
stronger in Republican sentiment than
now. nor was there ever a time: when
there was greater reason why one
should be a Republican and feel proud
Of it than right now.

Aitkin Republican: Candidate Cole
IL a good, clean man. No objection
can be raised to him. He Is clean
morally, has had a successful bust
ness career. showing that he has, first
class executive ability; he succeeded
in the last two sessions Of the legis
lature in getting legislation enacted
which is Of great importance to the
people now, showing his genius and
good judgment in advocating right
measures at the right time; and his
nomination came. to him so fairly.
carrying with it no promises to any
man or interest" instrumental In Sc
curing it, that even his political op-
ponents had no cause for criticism.
On the whole the Republicans of the
state have no reason to vote for the
Democratic candidate for governor;
they have a candidate Of their own in
whom there is no fault to be found
and If they vote for the Democratic
candidate it will mean that their
fealty to the principles of the Rspub-
ncan party is very weak indeed.

Bertha Headlight: It is said that
the big corporations will refuse, to
contribute anything towards paying
the expenses OF the Republican state
campaign. So much the better. Cole
can and will be elected without the
help of the gentlemen composing the
great corporations within the state
and when the battle is over the peo-
pie will have the blessed assurance
that they have a governor free of
debt to railway, trust or combine: 1t
takes votes, not money, to elect a
governor and the people have the
Votes even though they are short OF
ready cash. A governor elected by
the people! Say, there's no kick on
that proposition. / 1xlEtr;,"HSs.: %'T;
