Steals Horse and Girl.

Richland Republican: A former
Richland county youth, giving the
name of Earl Conkle, is a much want
ed man by the police officers of Wal
worth county who have warrants for
his arrest on the charge of horse
stealing and also for running away
with a fourteen-year-old girl at Della
van. Conkle went to livery barn at
Delavan some three weeks ago where
he hired a horse and buggy, stating
he wanted it but short time. He
failed to return, however, and the
liverynan, @. V. Barlow, began a
search. 1t was found the young man
had eloped with fourteen-year-o old
girl, Rosa Clancy, of Delavan, and
had used the horse to get out of the
country. He made straight for Rich
land county and landed here two days
later, going over into Akan where he
had friends. Here he sold the horse
and outfit for seventeen dollars. G..
V. Barlow, the hveryman, arrived
here last week and in company with
Sheriff Copenhefer drove to Akan
where they located the horse. Conkle
and his girl bride had left and no
trace of them could be found.

Richland Republicans for
Bancroft.

The Republicans of Richland coun-
ty held a mass meeting at the court
house in Richland Center to consider
the question of placing a Richland
county candidate in the field for Con-
gress. The meeting was unanimous
in its support of Levi. II. Bancroft as
the Republican candidate. Judge
Bancroft was called before the meet
ing and expressed his thanks for the
honor. He stated, however, that he
was Through chasing rainbows,"
and that he preferred to withhold any
declaration concerning his determina-
ton TO become the candidate of his
party in the congressional contest,
until later day, as he desired to be
more fully informed concerning the
sentiments of the Republicans in the
county.

FOR CONGRESS

There are candidates and candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for representative in congress from
this district. 1t can scarcely be reas-
onably commended that any one OF the
willing statesmen so far named could
represent the district so we'll as Con-
gresham Murphy; but each one OF
them hopes to take advantage Of their
party's great strength in the district.
Vernon county has two candidates,
Col. Munson and Judge MahOney.
Richland county Republicans have
recently called out assemblyman Levi
W. Bancroft. OF Judge Bancroft's
candidacy the Milwaukee Journal
says:
Republicans of Richland county
have endorsed Judge Levi Fl. Ban
croft as their candidate for congress
in the Third district. Mr.. Bancroft
is willing, but not sure Of the senti-
ment in the district, and so has with
held his decision for time as to
whether he will be candidate.
There appears to be little doubt,
however. that he will be in the race
when the time comes. 1t will be
remembered that his proposed candi-
dacy for congress played it's part in
the election of Uncle IKE to the SEN
ate. Mr.. Bancroft was an ardent
supporter of Mr. Stephenson"
After quoting from a ST. Paul news
paper an article strongly urging the
nomination of Hon. Levi. w. Poi,
lard, former district attorney of Iowa
county J. W. Taylor, in the South
west Wisconsin, says that it looks
like Pollard.
With so many candidates in the
field, Hon. J. w. Babcock might enter
the lists and secure the nomination.

Evening Wisconsin: 1t has turned
out in the first place that the President
has legally no more power to order
the summary withdrawal of a river
pilots license than he has to order
the chOpping off of heads. 1t has also
turned out that river men do not take
the Presidents view that the pilot was
reckless, but consider his steering q
piece of careful and skilled work. At
q hearing before the board of inspect
tors which the pilot demanded, thirty
steamboat men were called as witness
es, and all gave their testimony for
the pilot.
Despite the Presidents excellent
qualities there are two directions in
in which he frequently exhibits frailty
that makes the judicious grieve. One
is the direction of his preUensiOn to
universal technical knowledge, which
has led him to offer mankind advice
on every conceivable subject under the
sun, and to go out of his way to chal,
lenge the competency or veracity of
men speaking or writing regarding
matters in which they are specialists.
The other is the direction of his i'm
pulsiveness. The President has on
more than one public occasion com
mitted himself in a way which he would
have avoided if he had cultivated the
admirable habit of thinking before
