Not the COuntry's Interests.

The feeling that actuated most of
the men who signed the democratic
manifesto declaring for Bryan is that
the warm opposition to Bryan is
backed by selfish men who are at
work for their own interests, not the
country's interests. Their advocacy
of other candidates, especially of
Gov. johnson of Minnesota, is not an
honest advocacy, based on their
admiration for the governors manly
qualities and manifest fitness for
higher honors, but because of their
fear of Bryan. If their plans should
succeed and Bryan we're safely side
tracked, these men would smile
shrewd smile and stop work. There
after, for all of them, the devil might
take the hindmost.- Wheelock's

Wouldn't ketch Her Holleren'.

Col. W. P. Thorne, lieutenant gov
ernor of Kentucky, is one of the best
campaigners and story -tellers to be
found in Kentucky. One of the best
he is telling in the present campaign
runs as follows:
sit was just after W. O. Bradley
was elected governor of Kentucky, in
1905, and the republicans of nv
county were holding big ratification
meeting. Brass bands, all kinds of
floats and baners and hundreds of
men and women and boys had been
parading the streets. A young girl
claimed that while standing on her
front porch, which was almost
covered by vines and foliage of
different kinds, she was repeatedly
Rugged and kissed by a young man
whom she hardly knew. A warrant
was sworn out for her assailant. He
was arrested, and it was my duty as
commemorative attorney to prose-
cute him. John Carroll, who is at
present judge of the Kentucky
court of appeals, had been employed
to defend him. I soon finished nv
examination of the witness, and
turned her over to Carroll for cross
examination.
" What night was this?' Numbered
Carroll. i
-" Thursday night,' answered the
witness. =
" Thursday night, you say? What
time of night?'
About o'clock -
" That was about the time the
parade was passing your house?'
" Yes, sir; the parade was just
passing my house,

Yes, sir, the streets were full of
people

Removes Bullet From Brain,

On Wednesday a fifteen year old
boy residing at Orrock accidentally
discharged 22-caliber rife and the
bullet penetrated the right temple of
Mrs. Hans Hanson, who was at the
time entering her residence. DR..
Cooney was called to see the injured
woman and had her removed to the
Northwestern hospital, where he
trephined the skull and after remov-
ing several pieces of shattered bone
succeeded in removing the fattened
bullet. If the patient escapes infec-
ton from the bullet this will prove
one of the most successful feats of
modern surgery.

BUYS CAKES INTEREST.
Ernest II. Sellhorn Enters Into Partner
ship With A. W. WOodcock

Ernest H. SellhOrn Enters Into Partner
ship With A. w. Woodcock.
Ernest 81. Sellhorn has purchased
W. H. Oakes' interest in the Wood
cock & Cakes brick yard at Brickton
and entered into partnership with
Mr.. Woodcock on January l. The
firm is now running under the name of
Woodcock & Sellhorn.
Ernest Sellhorn had been in the en-
ploy of Woodcock & Cakes for seven
teen years and during the whole of
that time he faithfully performed his
duty. Commencing when mere boy
in the business he gradually worked
his way up until he became superin-
tendent of the yards. Implicit conf
dence was placed in him by his en-
ployers and they never had occasion
to regret it, for Mr.. Sellhorn is famil-
lar with every detail of the business
and used his knowledge to the benefit
of the firm. Then, again, he saved
his money, and when an opportunity
presented itself purchased the interest
of Mr.. Cakes.
Mr.. Woodcock is exceptionally we'll
pleased to secure Mr.. Sellhorn as a
partner and the Union is glad to
chronicle his success, for it knows
that he has worked hard to attain the
aim of his ambition and that he is
we'll deserving of the result.

TIRED OF TRAMPINC
Two Uniformed Regular Army lien
Give Themselves Up to Sheriff
Shockley as Deserters.
Escorted Back to Fort Smelling, From
Whence They Came, by
Sergeant Yesterday.

Early Sunday morning couple OF
fellows, shivering and half starved,
made their appearance at the village
power house, and after thawing them
selves out stated that they were
deserters from Fort Smelling. They
said they had been on the tramp since
the preceding Monday, were sick and
tired Of such a life, and asked that
the sheriff be notified by phone so
that they could give themselves up.
Sheriff Shockley was accordingly
called and shortly after placed the
men under arrest.
The prisoners gave their names as
Thomas Healey and Patrick Quirk,
the former stating that he had been in
this country only year and that he
fought under Roberts in the Boer war.
The sheriff telephoned to Fort Shell
ing and ascertained that the men de-
scribed by him were missing from their
company and instructing him to hold
them until a detail was sent to escort
them back.
For the capture Of a deserter the
government pays the sum of fifty dol
lars, but a man does not come under
the head of deserter unless he has
been absent from quarters for a
period Of not less than ten days.
Any shorter time than that is classed
as ''absence without leave" Hence
the sheriff will get no compensation
for the two men who gave themselves
up other than the actual cost of
boarding them.
On Tuesday Sergeant Cameron Steh-
man arrived here from Fort Smelling
and yesterday morning escorted them
back to the barracks. AS both of them
had sold their overcoats the sentence
of the court martial will likely be a
severe one.

PUNCHES OF MONEY
The Foote's of Princeton and Spencer
Brook Remembered by Rich
Connecticut Relative.
Money Soon Forthcoming as Estate
Was Adjudged Ready for Dis.
s
tribution on SATURDAY..
(Associated Press Dispa och.)

Waterbury, Conn.,, Jan. 13.-Some
disclosures made in the etsate of
John S. Foote, 80, of Cheshire, a re-
cluse and village storekeeper, and in
the mans life history will make inter-
estlng reading. His estate was ad-
judged ready for division Saturday.
The heirs never dreamed he had ac-
cumulated fortune until they got the
official appraisal some time ago,
which showed him to be worth over
half a million in gilt-edge securities.
For years, regular as clock, he
went before the assessors of his town
and swore he had no stocks and bonds
and was worth not more than $500.
when the interest on the income from
his stocks alone annually was nearly
$50, 900.
He lived in tumble-down house
adjoining his village store where he
sold shoes, drugs and notions. He
had grown up in the business there as
crusty bachelor, using for over
thlrty-tve years neither spirits nor
tobacco.
He never for thirty years saw the
north end of his own town, never in
his life rode on steam or trolley cars,
never loved any living thing and
hated women. He chewed plug tobac-
co until the civil war, when the price
went up.
The administrator, Howard T.
Moss, gets nearly $4,000 out of the
estate. William S. Foote, of Ottawa.
Ohio, nephew, gets nearly quarter
of million, and the rest is divided
among the following grand-nephews
and grand-nieces:
Alfred N. Foote, Louis I. Chapman,
Charles L. Foote, William c. and
Mary E. Foote, Wilson A. Foote,
Sidney S. Foote, all of Spencer
Brook, Mimi; Florence S. Maine.

VETSH0LD FIRE
rlembers of Wallace T. Rines Post.
Iheir Families and Friends,
Gather for Celebration.
Entertainment Consisting of Vocal
MUSIC and Luncheon Provid-
ed for the Veterans.

Inc members of Wallace T. Rines
post G. A. r. held their annual camp
ire IN their hall at T. H. Caley's resi-
dence last evening and there was
a very fair representation of old
soldiers. The cold wave prevailing
at the time, however, prevented
several veterans and their families
who lived at a distance from being
present. Altogether there were about
hundred persons assembled in the
hall, score of whom we're veterans
of the civil war.
A nicely selected program had been
arranged for the occasion and Ad-
jutant A. Z. Norton was selected mas
ter of ceremonies.
The program commenced with a
recitation delivered by Miss Fay
Young and this was followed with a
recitation by Miss May Leach. Both
we're we'll rendred. The next number
was a-song by ladies' quartet con-
slstlng OF Mrs. Cooney, Misses Rita
Byers, Ida May Schmidt and Ethel
Palmer. 1t was an excellent produc-
ton and the ladies sang another
piece equally good. This was fol-
lowed by selection and encore by a
male quartet consisting of Rev. Geo.
A. Swertfager, Chas. Kopp, Henry
LEM and Chas. Umbehocker.
The principal feature in the musical
part OF the program was the rendition
OF two numbers by a double quartet
of the ladies and gentlemen named.
Metaphorically speaking this brought
down the house. Adjutant Norton
then gave short narrative of his ex-
periences in the Stone River CAM
palgn which was attentively listened
to and applauded. Two more songs
by the male and female quartet we're
then given and Quartermaster Lowell
addressed the old soldiers and rising
vote of thanks was extended to Com
rade Galley for his kindness in plac-
ing theseommodious hall in the base
ment of his residence at their service.
| Following the rendition of "Ameri-
ca" by those assembled a lunch OF
sandwiches, coffee and doughnuts was
served and a period of general socia-
bility prevailed.
! The evenings entertainment was
| greatly eniOVed bV EVERYONE hit nv
none more so than the heroes of the
civil war, who talked over old times
in the field, hair breadth escapes, pri-
son experiences, etc.
The old soldiers are fast answering
the bugle call from the other side, and
! while any of them remain among US it
is our duty to honor them and do all
in our power to make their last days
pleasant. Livery man hath done his
duty"

AT NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL,

Lloyd Rust, aged Is years, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Rust, was taken
to the hospital on Tuesday extremely
i'll with a complication of acute ap-
pendicitis and Inflammation of the
bowels. DR.. Cooney performed an
immediate operation upon the boy,
but his condition is very critical and
the result cannot be foretold. The
case was treated with nostrums by the
boys family at home for more than a
week before he was taken to the hos
pital.
VIM. Kaliher underwent surgical
operation on Tuesday by DR.. Cooney.
He is fast recovering.

Proposed Knitting Works.

The Princeton commercial club met
at the Offices of M. S. Rutherford &
Co. on Thursday evening to consider
a proposition submitted by William
Penrod of Glendorado. Mr.. Penrod,
who is DESTROYS of securing a location
for the establishment of knitting
factory, stated that he was willing to
install machinery for such factory in
Princeton providing the business men
of the village furnished a site and
suitable building. He said that from
twenty-five to thirty persons would be
employed when the factory was in full
operation. The proposition was fully
discussed and a committee consisting
of M. S. Rutherford, G. A. Jack, E.
K. Evens and A. W. WOOdcOck was
appointed to see whether a suita BILE
site could be secured and to report
upon their Investigations at a meeting
to be held on the following Tuesday.
In consequence of the failure of Mr..
Penrod to put in an appearance on
1ueSuay evening no meeting was neld.
However, an interview with M. S.
Rutherford, chairman of the commit
tee appointed by the Commercial club,
ELECTED the following information:
Mr.. Rutherford said he believed that
if Mr.. Penrod could find building
suitable for his purpose in this vii
lage that the business men would SUBJ
scribe sufficient sum to pay the rent
of such building for one year, and
thought the council could be prevailed
upon to furnish the concern with free
electric light and water for the same
length of time. Mr.. Rutherford is in
correspondence with Mr.. Penrod re-
garding the matter.

Why the CORPORATIONS Favor johnson.
While BRYAN is friend of tariff

While Bryan is friend of tariff

not Bryan would be thus fair minded.

w. G. Meadows. of Burnsvilie, mem
Der of the Republican county executive
committee of Braxton county and a
prominent citizen, was a visitor in the
city Saturday evening and pleasant
caller at the Republican state head
quarters and the Telegram office.
Mr. Meadows says that while num-
Der of Republicans in his county have
been inclined to favor Schcrr. there has
been decided change of sentiment in
favor of Mr.. Swisher since the convcn-
tion. The principal reason for this. Mr.
Meadows says, is that the Republicans
there do not like bolters and they will
not stand for them. All OF the younger
and the progressive element of the party
are for Swisher and 1t is believed that
even the old fogies will come into line
before election time.
''Swisher has gained much ground late
ly and while we cannot tell what Brax-

people are confident that ne Will win

About Reaction in Mr..

Or. U. w. Showalter has just re-
turned from stay of several days
in Ritchie county towns where he
called on friends and looked after
business matters. He remained some
time at Cairo and MaeFarlan and
points in that vicinity.
"A great number of the people of
'Ritchie county are enthusiastically in
favor,of Charles w. Swisher for gov
ernor." said DR.. Sho@alter to a Tee-
gram representative today. For
some time there was considerable an
tagonism to the Swisher ticket
among some OF the Richie Republi-
cans. but their stand, / find, was
based principally upon the false re-
ports and Misrepresentation sent
ont by the Scherr crowd. The peo-
pie down there are intelligent enough,
however, to find out in short time
whether they have been imposed up
on, and 1t did not take them long to
run the hot air stories of the Scherr
boilers to the ground. AS result
the Scherr stories have acted as n
boomerang and nearly every one Of
those Republicans who We're at first
misled by them are now ardent sup
porters of Charles w. Swisher.
Another thing / found was that
the staid old. Republicans, of the
county detest boilers, chronic kick

have faith in the grand old party of

Unconcerned.

Word was received in the city from

feet that in the conference between

Grant and one or two other members
of the boiling Lincoln faction and
Arthur I. Vorys. of Ohio. the boilers.
pulled up with an inflated idea of
their alleged Importance, declared
that they would not submit their
cause, nor explain any of their con-
tentons to the Republican national
executive committee. Neither will
they have anything to do Whatever

and Nathan u. Scott. I'VE will con-
tinue or fight for 'purer' politics"
Scherr aud Grant are both reported
as saying. iii 1t defeats both the ma
tional and state tickets in West Vir-
GINA" Y
Considerable surprise was felt over
the action OF the boilers in refusing
to submit their contentious TO tho
national committee and this stand
has weakened the weak cause of the
boilers to a considerable degree. The
contentious of the boilers are so
ilimsy that they will not bear a care
full and impartial examination by the
national committee.
