Mail, July GA deal was comsummat-
ed the first of the week whereby Frank
Gibbs of Minnewaukan assumed ownership
OF Bonner Bros. store. MIR. Gibbs is thor
oughly familiar with this line of business
and will doubtless receive a satisfactory
patronage.
Deputy Sheriff Woods recently received
letter from the insane man who was cor
| raled in the country south of here some
time ago. He stated therein that he want
ed sixty dollars which he let fellow have
while here The man to whom he imagined
he gave the money he said ate his meals
in a tent and lived in cellar. If man
can show such appreciation of coin of the
realm through continued state of mental
alteration he ought to develop into
second John d. when he comes out of it.
Ben Roddle is usually the candy kid"
when it comes to practical jokes but this
week he was let down with such a dull
thud that it ratified his small change and
uncurled his moustache. Two small BOYS
led a sheep of goodly size and weight up
| to the rear door of his meat factory and
began to dicker for sale. After feeling
its ribs and pulling its wool, Ben finally
decided that the sheep was all right and
snapped for it, three large round plunks
with an eagle on one side and the goddess
of liberty on tother. Subsequently he
learned that it belonged to little girl.
Now the girl wants her sheep back Short
ly after this became known fellow went
in to try and sell him left handed gas
lamp. Ben was out killing the sheep
at the time hence he didn't buy the lamp.
F. NJ. Mitchell, erstwhile land man and
caterer, and now noted for the excellence
of his claim and the beauty of his stone
mansion thereon, wants housekeeper.
For the better accomplishment of his pur-
pose he is developing his power of song,
charming talent which has hithertofore lain
dormant within him. His first efforts are
being directed against the unresponsive
sentiments of his nearby bachelor girl
neighbors. Oft in the Silly night the be-
wtching melody of Mitch's song adown the
breeze, bearing with it the tremulous
pathos of profound heart ache and
ruined digestion. Unkind and unsympath-
etc indeed would be the heart of her who
could resist such an appeal. Our sympathy
is with you Mitch, and may you secure
culinary artist who can turn the flapjack or
the sod with equal dexterty.

The main trouble with Mr.. Bryan is
that he has no fixed political princi-

of the real problems of government.
He is essentially an sgitator with
strong demagogic proclivitlies, given
to emotions rather than to reasoning
With the narrow egotism Characters
tic of men of his type, he is unable to
account for the opposition to his nom

HIS OWN FOLLY.
The ProYerb Justlfies a Wise Mans
Change.

When Mr.. Bryan returned in August.
1905, from his tour Of the world, the
Democratic party was at his feet. Con-
vention after convention had indorsed
him. Democrats from every part of
the country came to New York to
greet him as their candidate for Presi-
dent. No other name was mentioned
in connection with the nomination.
Drunk with power and applause, Mr..
Bryan rejected the counsel of the par
ty leaders and advocated government
ownership of railroads in his Madison
Square Garden speech. Instantly. the
fat was in the fire. The South re-
pudiated his policy at once, and he
was finally forced to abandon it on
the pretense that nobody wished to
make it an issue in the 1908 campai0n-
Mr.. Bryan is now in the ridiculous
position of candidate who is clamor-
ing for more government regulation
of railroads and is on record as de-
claring that government regulation is
bound to fail.
No sooner had Mr.. Bryan dropped
government ownership than he tried
to commit the Democracy to the initia-
tive and referendum. In his BROOKLYN
speech, April 16, 1907, he threatened
substantially to drive everybody out
of the party who did not believe in his
new panacea. Eastern resentment
soon compelled him to subordinate the
initiative and referendum, as Southern
opposition had forced him to drop
government ownership.
He proceeded next to make the Dem
'cratic party an annex to the Roose-
'elt administration, indorsing "my pol
cies' and absolving Mr.. Roosevelt
