A Washington correspondent has
sized up the Johnson boom thusly:
Early in the campaign the name of
johnson was mentioned favorably as
the Democratic standard bearer but
at that time he declined stating that
he was favorable to Mr.. Bryan. It
seems however that his secretary con-
tinued to line up the state for Mr..
johnson, and it was surely with his
knowledge. 1t now seems that the
move Is coupe OF Mr.. Bryan, He has
probably advised it so as to have an
anchor to the windward if necessary.
II the republicans should make a mis-
take at Chicago and the financial con-
ditions are favorable he will accept
the nomination at Denver in July. But
should Taft be nominated, the chances
are against him, and he sees that he
is up against sure thing of defeat
he will play to the galleries and de-
cline the nomination, and, by handing
the democratic cepter over to John
son, leave him to shoulder the newt
ible defeat. Bryan has already had all
the honor that can come from defeat
and third one would prove detri-
mental to his chautauqua stunts.

Am Offer to Devils Lake

We are in receipt of a letter from
o. M. Cowies, of Grand Harbor in
which he suggests the manufacture of
a patent stove piping, OF which he is
the patentee, in this city, He also
forwarded to us a picture Of the pat
ent and the specifications covering it.
We will be pleased to show them to
any of our readers who wish to look
them over. Mr.. Crowles' letter reads
as follows: g. =

Dear Sir:-Referring to the article
which appeared in your last issue, rel
alive to patent No. 8S1378, on stove
piping, wish to say that 1t is correct
think it is hard to estimate the actual
value Of, this invention. When i ap
piled for the patent thought but little
about it. but the more I. am advised
by experts as to the Importance of il
and the more study on the subject

The republican county CO

The republican county convention
was one of the most harmonious poll
teal meetings ever held in Devils
Lake. People who went there expect
ing to find strife were disappointed.
The convention was short and to the
point The delegation to the state
convention is headed by the Hon. H
c. Hansbrough Of Devils Lake, and
the personnel is all friendly to his re.
election

take the lead of all others. I have
made careful study of improved q
stove piping, and found that there was
only one way to accomplish the good
results represented in my patent and
consequently am not afraid Of any
other man making an Improvement
superior to my own in this line. There
are many defects in the old style OF
piping that have caused the loss Of
millions of dollars, for instance there
is the case where the piping stands
perpendicular, the weight of the top
joints cause them to telescope over
! the lower ones and the top joint set
: ties below the roof and a. fire lis q
result. Then again when the pipe is
put up horizontally there is nothing
to keep the piping from sagging down
ward which causes it to come apart,
and the fire and smoke is let out into
the room with no small amount Of suit
upon the floor. Many housewives can
testify to that %&s$ssl
There Is another feature that lis
the case Of the neglect to clean the
pipe on the inside which causes an
accumulation of suit and a fire is the
result. In this case one finds them
selves in the utmost danger of losing
their property by fire, for there is
nothing to prevent the blaze, or sparks
rushing out of the piping at the joints.
These defects have been absolutely
overcome by my invention. / firmly
believe that the day will soon come
when every fire insurance company
will recommend the use OF my pip. /.
ing, and that it will be necessary to-
supply the world with this piping.
Piping is very bulky and the freight
rates are large, SO it would seem the
most economical to have various man
ufactories and ship the raw material
to them to be>made up, and 7 know
OF no better place for such factory

/" ARRESTED FOR
PREACHING GOSPEL"
Ell PaSo Police Gather In Man
Who Was Blocking the
Street With Crowd.

Ell PASO, Feb. 21.-John Carney,
designated by his hand bills as REV.
John Carney, temperance lecturer
AID chalk talker OF Texas" was ar
rested by Chief of Police Campbell
yesterday afternoon on charges Of
committing a nuisance and blocking
the sidewalks and was releaseu Un
S25 bond. Carney came here to
preach on prohibition at the First
Baptist church, where he spoke last
night.
Yesterday afternoon Carney took
up his stand at the corner of Oregon
and San Antonio streets, and ad-
dressed a crowd that collected, on
his chosen subject declaring that
there was a close relationship be-
tween prohibition and Christianity.
He Dragged on being and Odd Fellow
and a Mason, and thereby drew upon
himself considerable displeasure from
the members of those orders who
heard the statements.
The speaker was a fluent orator,
and attracted a considerable crowd.
Finally the White House telephoned
to police headquarters, and Chief
Campbell answered the call person
ally. II r .Sh AsHl
He arrived just as the temperance
speaker, who is said to be in the EN-
ploy Of the prohibition movement il
this state, was concluding his adj
dress, and told Carney to move on
This Carney refused to do, and the
police chief informed him that I'm.
less he moved an arrestIwould follow
Carney replied that the sidewalks
were not the property of any one and
again declined to move. Then he
was placed under arrest and taken
to the station. On the way he found
occasion to tell Chief Campbell thai
he was a Mason, and the chief re
piled that he was a Mason also, but
that his membership did not inter.
fere in the discharge of his duties.
Quite a crowd followed to the sta
ton, where Seth Orndorff furnished
check for $25 bond. Carney was
notified by the police that repetition
of his street blocking would mean
another arrest.
After he had been released from
custody, Carney went back to his
former stand. and packed up his be
longings. He promised the people
that he would be back again today
and said that it was the first time
he had ever seen a place wnere per
sons were arrested for preaching tbs
gospel.

ney speak Oh the street went up to

WINDOW Thief GOES
TO JAIL BAREFOOTEO
Lost Pants At Jail Break and
Couldn't Leave.

Santos Punetero, Who was arrest
ed a few days ago for stealing half a
dozen windows from a residence in
Brewery Gulch and who was giVe1 d
sentence of sixty days for the theft,
was yesterday taken to the county
Jail at Tombstone barefooted.
But that didn't worry Punetero.
officers never found him when he
had a complete outlay of necessary
wearing apparel, such things as a
shirt. hat or shoes missing were
nothing to aim.
One of Punetero's sympathizi2g
countrymen deprived him OF his
pants when both were serving sen
fences in the old jail near Main
street. The prisoners planned a
Jail break and carried out their plans
successfully and all but Punetero
gained liberty-he remained behind
because he didn't want to appear on
the streets without any pants on.
