lname.
We learn from the daily press
that, although the precaution was:
taken to put out the lights in the:
Ecars which brought the first guards
into Sprin gfeid, manY"were' injured
by missiles as the train neared the;
city. The troops were met with in
suits and open defiance as they de-
Etrained and more than. once their
progress through the streets was
checked by dense crowds which gave.
way with reluctance.
AS the troops advanced the mob
| assumed a more threatening air and
reinforced their expressions Of dis
pleasure with stones and, finally,
bullets. Several soldiers were SO sc
riously injured as to require the as
distance Of their comrades. Imagine
lif you can a regiment of soldiers,
fully equipped, lodging stones, and
lsticks, some dragged along by their
uninjured fellows while the officers
tried to screw up sufficient courage to
give the command which would have
tprotected themselves and their men
from further molestation and In
stilled in the minds of that Iawless
mass wholesome respect for the
military department Of the state.
| After the guns had been taken
ltrom some and others put out Of
business by bricks, the soldiers re-
Fceived the command to fire, fire low
Eand two or three persons were shot
in the legs. But this did not deter
the mob from further opposition.
They had learned, as other mobs
Ehavc learned, that citizen soldiers,
even under extreme provocation, will
mot protect themselves against riot
lers among whom may be father,
brother or other near relative. The
officers are SO loath to shed blood
that the efficiency Of the national

foes has been almost, If not com
plctely, destroyed and they are more
and more deserving the name-tin

not be well for the national govern

THE COLORHD VOTER.

The colored citizens of, West Vir-
sinia were warned In 1904 that the
democratic party would disfranchise-
them If they ever ,had the chance.
While the celebrated "white mans
plank was voted down In the state
convention of that year, it was only
defeated on the groundg that it was
inexpedient to spring the trap at
that time. This year., however, they
have made an unfeserVed declara-
ton in their p1atfotnn, saying that
the republican party committed a
crime in comforting, "the elective

evening. He will remain a few days
looking after his farm interests in

The Munson-C hatwood recital,

last Thursday evening, was a splen-
did artistic success and deserved a
capacity audience. Miss Munson
was the best reader who has appear

most pleasing voice and her articula-
ton borders on perfection. Her pro-
gram contained humoristic, pathetic
and dialect readings, and tho she dis
played mastery in all, her art prob
ably appeared at its best in the beauti-
full little love story entitled "The

dialect numbers were also delightfully."-

In this issue will be found the
announcement of Thos. Sorenson, of
Hartland township, for county COM
missioner in the second district COM
prising Hartland, Baker and White
wood townships. This Office has been
held by some resident of Lake Pres
ton for the last ten years or more.
Hartland is a township that has not
been represented on the board of
commissioners in the last twenty
years, and we don't know as it was
ever represented on the board. The
people of that section have concluded
that it is about time they had a rep
resentative on the board and thereby
have a hand in the management of
county affairs as we'll as pay taxes.
They have induced Thos. Sorenson to
become a candidate for that Office.
Mr.. Sorenson is quite well known
throughout the county as a large and
successful farmer and stock feeder.
He is a man that is all business.
Everything he undertakes is carried
through on business principles. 1t is
such men that are needed on this
board-men who are success ful in
their own affairs are sure to be sue
cessful in handling public affairs, for
success only comes as a result of
good judgement and strict attention
to the details of the matter at hand.
Mr.. Sorenson possesses every qualiti-
cation for the office and he should re-
ceive the vote of every taxpayer in
the republican party.

Notice is hereby given that parties
occupying property on which manure

must remove such accumulation at
once. The ordinance provides a
penalty for failure to remove such
matter, and a failure to comply with
the provisions of the ordinance will
cause the penalty to be inflicted. The

after which she will leave for her sum

We hope the operation will prove

section joining his old homestead on
the north at $35 per acre. j. L. had

quarter will make him one of the best
farms in that part of the county.
-Thos. O'Hora, of Mathews town
ship had a close call to losing his farm
home and buildings by fire Tuesday
of last week. Almost before he knew
it a prairie fire swept down upon him
and burned grass right in his door
yard. No buildings were destroyed,
however, and the loss was confined to
to the destruction of a nice bunch of
trees.
"A praire fire which started on the
Halvorson farm north of Manchester
Saturday afternoon was carried rapid
ly to the southeast and caused serious
loss at the Geo. Bauer farm where one
threshing machine and a barn were
totally destroyed We understand
that one Of the Halvorson boys set
fire to a pile of cornstalks in the field
and that the fire got beyond his con-
troll. Under ordinary circumstances
a fire could not be expected to run
through an old corn field, but the
high wind that afternoon would carry
a fire over almost any kind of a field.
After seeding there will be found
considerable grain to market. A word
of advice in this regard may do no
harm. From the condition of the
barley market we judge it to be a
part of wisdom for those having barley
to sell to get it onto the market as
soon as possible. The maltsters are
not likely to malt all summer as they
did a year ago. The price is now
very sloppy" and, as the end of the
season approaches it will become
more so, for the very good reason
that the tail end of the crop must
go in the feed class. Local buyers
are now compelled to widen their
margin as the stuff cannot be sold by

Very little work was done by the
temperance people against license.
1t was the unanimous opinion that
license would be beaten. Perhaps
that accounts for the fact that, while
the vote was heavier than a year ago,
the majority against license was less.
Below we print the figures by wards
on license for 1907 and 1908.

PART OF WOMEN
IN COMING ELECTION.

Women will vote in this general
election in three States, Colorado. Ida
no and Wyoming. a fact which cam
paign managers in the various ma
tional headquarters in Chicago Of the
democratic, republican, prohibition and
socialist parties here have taken into
consideration. These states represen-
tation in the electoral college amounts
to eleven votes out of 483. Voting
in all states but three will be by the
Australian system, Virginia and the
Carolinas having retained the old sys-
tenn By 10 means all the men OF
81 in the country are qualified voters,
for the varying laws Of the states not
only bar ccnvicts in the prisons in
most age but place other restrictions
on suffrage that become exceedingly
important in presidential years. Mich
igan bars Indians and 'duelists and
their abettors;" Mississippi bars de-
linquent taxpayers and also felons and
the insane. Missouri, Massachusetts,
and a few other states penalize pau
perism by taking away the voting priv
ilege. Nevada brings up the struggle
of north and south by barring from suf-
frage 'unamnestied c~onfederates
against the United States as we'll as
Indians and the Chinese. Vermont al
so bars "ex-confederates." Native In
dams are voters by the Oklahoma
law. Ohio refuses to let United States
soldiers vote, as does North Dakota.
