Prize For Rat CATCHING.

Rat catchers and inventors from all

For the Destruction of Vermin offers
This society, of which Sir James erich

exterminate the rat tribe as well as
mice, house flies and other lively nui-

commercially profitable, and the socie-

for them. The theory is that once
people find profit may be made out of
dead rats more efforts will be made to

covered that their picks went to a

covered that trench to the depth of
three feet had been dug, presumably
during the Confederate war, and

When the Crowd Warns UD.

When the Crowd Warns Up.
While a reverend gentleman selected
by the national committee is Offering
prayer there will be nearer approach
to real order than at any other time
during the whole convention. At the
close of the prayer a modern statesman
with a tWo-thirds majority of the an
cient in his name, Senator Julius Caesar
Burrows of Michigan, will assume the
gavel as temporary chairman Of the
convention. The national committee
selects the temporary chairman in ad-
vance. Senator Burrows will proceed
to deliver the opening address, in which
he is supposed to outline the campaign
policies of the party in a guarded way
and likewise to promulgate over the
heads of the host a sly hint as to bis
own preference for the presidential
nomination. Only towering genius
can exercise sufficient self control to
refrain from finging out a feeler for
his fayorite in the opening speech.
With the temporary chairman's
speech the crowd begins to enthuse.
Up in the galleries and all around the
real convention will be the greater
convention of some 10000 lucky per-
sons who have managed to get tickets
to the performance. Outside will be an
overflow of many thousands more who
can't get inside, but still have hopes.

sonyentions-the dark horse" For the
benefit Of the new voter who may not
have read up rigidly in political his
tory it may be stated that a dark
horse is just as human as any other
candidate, being a man brought for

though not considered as entered in
The race prior to the convention.
Hayes was dark horse. So was Gar

After the presidential nominee is de
clared the convention goes through a
similar performance in relation to the
vice presidency. By this time most of
the whoopers have the whooping
cough or the wheezes and are begin
hing to abate their enthusiasm. They
don't care much about the second place
On the ticket anyway. Yet it would
seem that the vice presidency should
be held in almost as high esteem as
The presidency. The Republican party
has elected seven presidents. But there
have been ten Republican presidents.
The vice presidency accounts for the
difference. Andrew Johnson, Chester
a. Arthur and Theodore Roosevelt as
to his first term became presidents as
the result of conventions naming them
for the vice presidency. Each of them
served almost the entire term of the
man higher up on the ticket.
AS a general thing it does not re-
quire much time to nominate a vice
presidential candidate. Usually several
states put forward favorite sons-when
the favorite sons will stand for it. Mr..
Roosevelt wouldn't stand for it in Phil
adelphia at the 1900 convention until
ae was persuaded by the overWhelm-
ing enthusiasm Of the delegates. OF
| at first was that he was governor of
New York and Boss Platt and his
cronies had cooked up a scheme to
make Roosevelt vice president in or
der to eliminate him from New York
politics. In all proba bility Jonathan P.

Big Springs Wants a High School.

The Big Springs correspt ndent of
the Oshkosh Herald has this to
say: A petition is being circulated in
this vicinity for the purpose Of locat-
ing high school here. The people of
Deuel. county have never given Big
Springs anything of Importance.
Very few men from this part of the
county have held county Office. Big
Springs is IN q good location for a
county high school, having the best of
railroad advantages as we'll as having
class of people that are interested in
education. Having good class of
citizens the environment for the chill
dren will be of the best. That Deuel.
county needs high school is without
question, for we have a great number
of eighth and ninth graders who could
enter and start good school. We
spend considerable for education in
other places when we could just as
we'll hold here in our own county.
Therefore we believe it is for the in
terest of all to work for high school
regardless of location. The facilities
for board and other necessaries are of
the best in Big Springs.
