Cash for All Damages.

Doubtless this disagreement would
have caused a veto to the exclusive

in future. tearing down fences. tram
ping down crops. and killing chickens
and other poultry. but for the fact
that there is q standing offer with the
farmers to the effect that the club
will pay for all damage done by the
hunters. dogs. and foxes in Plains and
vicinity.
Once a year Hartman rides around
the countryside snd pays without n
question every claim for damages. no
matter how exorbitant. Claims for as
much as $500 are paid without = mur-

y. A. VARNAM.

The Press sees no reason why any
business man OF citizen should become
unduly excited over the prospective
election Of Varnam. Those who go
about predicting all kinds Of calam.
ity II he is mayor have a personal
objeet in view.
The business men, and most Of the
people, have known varnam as an hon
orable, respectable citizen, who Is
considered a good business man In
the building line. Professionally the
same may be said of DIR. Scallon--he
probably knows his profession aud ON
public affairs has declared that he
believes gambling cannot be stopped
and that a revenue should be derived
from the evil by q system Of fines.
Varnam believes II should be sup
pressed and the Press believes It's sup
precision would be good for the city
morally and financially. On this
issue We differ with Scallon and sup
port varnam and predict his election
by good safe majority.
The Journal has charged varnam
with being ignorant by putting words
in our mouth that We never uttered.
We have found Varnam 10 be man

A satirleaI Pieturs IN q Church.

There is probably only one church In
Britain which contains satlrical pic
ture. 1t is the little church Of South
Brent, in Somersetshire. On three oak
en- pews are carved pictures which
were intended to satirize the greed Of
a certain religious dignitary at Glas-
tonbury. This ecclesiastic is represent
ed In the first picture as a fox dressed
in robes and inter and holding crook
in his right paw. In the second picture
the fox has been manacled by flock
of geese, and in the third the birds
have revenged themselves on their foe
