"A ramp S Daughter .

Next Monday night Delta folks will
have an opportunity to see one of the
strongest melo-dramas before the pub
lie today. "a Tramp's Daughter" is
filled with thrilling episodes and the
Paonia artists who will present the play
are capable of carrying the audience
with them through every exciting
stage of the story. Last Tuesday night
they presented it in Paonia on the
same night that Eiler's King of the
Cattle Ring was to show there, but the
local company got the crowd and Eiler's
went dark and the entire Eiler company
attended the home talent play at the
invitation of the local performers. In
speaking of the performance one of
Eiler's men said: II have never seen
better bunch of make-ups nor have
ever seen home talent company
handle a play with as much ease as
these folks did tonight and played the
part of Col. Lee in this same play for
eight seasons" In face of the fact
that the local company had put
the professionals out of business the
above comment means considerable
Delta people should give the Paonia
crowd good house.

Sunday at the Park.

Quite crowd gathered in the park
Sunday afternoon to listen to the Ball
Orchestra concert. The day was fine
and the music good. The "Holy City"
as rendered on the violin by Glenn
Ball, in your reporters opinion, was of
the best he ever heard. Miss Haley
also rendered solo with exceptional
merit. Delta's musicians cannot be
given too much praise. Few towns
are SO fortunate.

His Opinion of Minnesota.

2 Peter Ornas, farmer living near
Mora, is in the city on a visit. Mr..
Ornas went into the Mora country
nine years ago and took a claim of
160 acres. He has a comfortable home
and hotel now, which proves what an
energetic man can do with one of
Uncle Sans claims in the north
woods. Last year he sold the timber
on his place for ST. 900 cash, and still
has $4,000 cords of wood.
Mr.. Ornas is enthusiastic about
farming in Minnesota. He says that
while lots of people look with disfavor
on Minnesota because of the extreme
cold OF the winter, it is, for all that,
the greatest place for a man who is
not afraid of work to get ahead in the
country.-Duluth Herald.

Mcmillan Was a Spectator.

Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan was a spectator
in the gallery of the Minneapolis
Auditorium when the democratic state
convention was being held last week.
He says there was only a sprinkling
of people in the galleries and, with the
exception of perhaps forty or fifty
who acted as if they were being paid
for their services in welding flags and
testing their lungs, there was very little
enthusiasm displayed in that section
of the building when Gov. Johnson's
name was mentioned. The band, the
delegates and alleged delegates and
the hired clacquers made all the noise.
Mac says it was patent to the most
casual observer that, barring the first
genuine outburst Of applause, the
ovation" was manufactured for the
occasion and there was nothing
genuine or spontaneous about it.

Kicked by BroHchos.

NJ. McKinnon, while engaged in
feeding pair of bronchos in the
Kaliher livery stables last Friday
morning, was badly kicked. One of
the bronchos, turning partly around,
struck Mr.. McKinnon in the stomach
and left thigh, precipitating him
underneath the other animal, which
trampled on him. He managed to,
crawl from the stall and get beyond
the reach of the vicious beasts, but
not before he had received injuries
which will preclude his doing any
work for several days. Fortunately
no bones were broken.

The New Bridge Assured

The action of the county commits
sioners in unanimously voting to de-
fray half the expenses of building a
bridge across the Rum river in section
%, town SO, range rs, is highly COM
mendable. To be sure the commits
sioners had no option in the matter.
The law is clear on the subject. When
a town appropriates certain amount
for the purpose of building bridge
the county is obliged to stand half the
cost. Nevertheless the commissioners
deserve credit for acting so promptly.
Proposals are advertised for in an
other column Now the two commit
tees, town and county: should get to-
gether at once and decide on the exact
location of the bridge and the road on
both sides of the river should be
graded up without delay. The bridge
will be built. that is certainty, but it
is not necessary to await the compile
tion OF the structure before commenc-
ing work on the approaches. Now is
the time to put the road in order. Let
us have good bridge and good ap-
proaches. The exact location of the
bridge should be decided upon at
once. The bridge and approaches
should be completed by October l or
shortly afterwards.

w AauCess One Last FRIDAY and Another
Tomorrow Night.
While the week at Mr.. Pratt's sum
mer resort has not been as lively as
the preceding, there were many visit
ors in the shape of fishing, boating
and picnic parties.
On Friday night the dance drew
multitude of people who kept up the
whirl until the small hours of the
morning. The dances at the park
always prove drawing cards.
Tomorrow friday night the
Princeton band will give a benefit
dance in the pavilion and the music
will OF course be the very latest. The
band has made rapid progress since
its organization and the boys are de-
serving OF liberal patronage upon this
occasion.

Bachelors Win in Game Which Had
No Redeeming Feature at Fair
Grounds on Sunday.
The Two Aggregations of Has-Beens
Contemplate Pulling Off An.
other Big Burlesque.

On Sunday the married chaps and
bachelor guys played another game
of ball at the fair grounds with the
result that the tables were turned and
the latter bunch won. Score 80 to 16.
From beginning to end the game
was a big burlesque. It would be mis-
leading to say that it was played, al
though both sides worked hard.
Science was absent in the game-it
was a rough and tumble go-as-you-
please, catch-as-catch-can mix-up.
Yet it created much more amusement
than would game between profess
SIGNALS and more hoarseness probably
resulted. There. were no regularly
selected batteries one who thought
he could pitch or catch was permitted
to try his hand. AS a result both
pitching and catching was remarkably
bum. The score-30 to l6-substanti.
ates this statement.
There is nothing like a game be-
tween has-beens, however, to draw a
crowd and this proved no exception
on Sunday. The crowd was there-a
multitude. The rooters filed the
atmosphere with discord and straw
hats, and some of the onlookers
laughed so uproariously that they
fell from their seats in the grand
stand. Tin horns, tin cans and mega
phones added to the tumult, and un-
ripe tomatoes and butternuts were
hurled at the players as sort of en-
couragement. Fun! Verify, it We'd
with the recent democratic convention
for fun and pandemonium.

gate receipts were sufficient to pay for
twelve bottles of Glucose Hair Grower,
which he is daubing on his head three

bald spot is growing larger. Then
again, "Cy" says that the glucose
draws flies. There is talk of getting
up another game so that Soy" may
be sent to Woodland of Chicago to
have hair grated into his crown by.
means of electricity.
The boys can't get up too many
games of this sort to please both the
public and "Cy." 80

on Tuesday and as result sustained
a nasty cash below one of his eyes.
The calf was not a trick animal but
an ordinary looking beast such as is
often brought to the slaughter. It
was high kicker, however, and one
of its hind feet landed hard. Mr..
.Hummel says that were he compelled
to submit either to the kick of calf
or mule he would choose the latter.

DESpISES TRAITORS
That Sterling Old Veteran, Daniel
Anderson, Has No Time for
Traitors or Mugwumps.
In This State Republican Leaders Seem
to Delight in Honoring Trail
tors to Their Party.

Mr.. Editor: If the undersigned is
not mistaken, your paper stands for
republican principles and sentiment,
and is fearless and outspoken in de-
Tending them; and I need the assis-
lance of such a er,-perhaps it
will add some snap and vigor to what
[ wish to say.
Being republican, have much at
variance with democrats, but concede
them every political right that I claim
for ourselves, and am not DESTROYS to
pick quarrel with them at this time,
but rather commend their political
persistency. But there is another
class by no means extinct in our state,
to-wit: spurious republicans, who
are no more entitled to participate in,
and solicit favors from the republican
party organization than traitor to
his country is fit to participate in the
councils Of it's defenders.
If pretend-to-be republicans have
discovered the superiority of the dem
ocratic party, why do they not stand
for their principles openly and honor
ably and the world will know to whom
the credit is due when the political
millennium of democracy arrives. For
one I am thoroughly disguised with
the practice of those who pose as re-
publicans for the purpose of securing
political support in republican COM
munity, but entertain no scruples
about giving their aid and support to
the color-bearers of the opposition;
and in my humble Judgment it is as
unwarranted as it is impolitic for the
republicans of Minnesota to neglect
party organization to the extent of
giving Offices and positions to such
as are we'll known to have cut the head
off from our ticket. My advice is to
apply the remedy when we can. 1 will
not at the primaries or at election
support, for any Office, any man who
is known to aid and abet the opposi-
tion for any Important Office, and I
would like to see the republicans in
all parts of the state organize and
compel aspirants for nominations to
establish their standing as republic
cans, or be rejected. Such course,
for few years, would establish the
politics of the state and remove it from
the odium of mugwumpism. *.
My ideas, as above outlined, may
appear untenable and incompatible
with political liberty, but let US ex-
anime and see. We are enjoying per-
feet religious liberty: and what does
that mean? Simply that every person
has the right to chose whether to be
Catholic or Protestant, but that is
not saying that religious liberty per-
mits promiscuous communion. A per-
son cannot be a Catholic and
Protestant at the same time. Does
not the same Interpretation apply in
politics? If not, why not?
Daniel Anderson.
