THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

The Democratic party presents t.
the voters an exceptionally strong
ticket for the county, legislative and
judicial positions.
First to be considered Is the local
ticket. The running Of a county
government is business proposition
and the Democratic party of Rio
Blanco county had that end In view
when 1t selected Thomas Kilduh and
w. s. Montgomery as its nominees
for commissioners. During the four
years Mr.. Kilduff has served the
people of this county as commits
sioner he has endeavored to the best
of his ability to put into practical
effect this principle. Let the good
work be continued, and vote for
Thomas Kilduf for commissioner on
the Sd day Of November.
Willis S. Montgomery is not as
well known Us his colleague on the
Democratic ticket, but suffice it to
say he is one of the largest taxpayers
in the county-being the head of the
Cross-L outf1t-a business man OF
the highest class, and will make an
ideal commissioner rs he Is In every
way thoroughly qualified to I'LL this
important Office.
For treasurer the Democrats pre-
sent the name Of one Of the best
known, most popular and efficient
men In the county-James Hayes.
In the early history of Rio Blanco
Mr.. Hayes served the people well
for three terms In the capacity of as
SCISSOR. Mr.. Taxpayer, vote for Jim
Hayes for treasurer, and you will
make no mistake.
Fletcher Hay, who is the Demo-
cratic nominee for assessor, is q pio-
neer in this valley, being one Of the
very first settlers. 'Fletch" Hay
was the Democratic candidate two
years ago and failed of election by
only few votes. He is thoroughly
qualified to attend to the duties Of
the Office, is entitled to it and should
receive the support Of all old-timers
regardless of party affiliation. Vote
for Fetch Hay and show your good
feeling for man who helped "blaze
the trail' In White river valley.
The office of superintendent Of
schools is one Of the poorest paid ir
tile county, yet one Of the most i'm
portant. G. F. Brown has Allied thi.
office with marked ability; is en-
gagged in placing our schools on {
plane equal to the highest In tn.
state. Vote for Brown and keep oul
public school system ever upward.
George suttles, one of Meeker'l
well known and popular citizens, II
the Democratic candidate for sheriff
Mr.. snttle has he'd experience ii
this once nd "A well qualified to al
1t to the satisfaction Of the people o
the county.
Judge Shervin has served one tern
as very acceptable county Judge
and will get another because there II
no more popular man in Rio Blanc,
county than Tom Shervin.
Dan Moog has filled the surveyor
offie for seven terms and-will con
tinue to serve the people in that ca
pacity as long as he consents to holt
the office.
A more capable man for corone
than H. E. Holloway would be hart
to find; therefore retain Mr.. Hollo
way in an office he fills 40 we'll.

WILTON LACKAYE IN HALL
GAINES "THE BONDMAN.'

wilton Lackaye will appear at the
Newark Theatre all next week in THE
Bondman"-Hall Gaines own dramatiza-
ton of his novel Of the same name. The
piece ran for over a year at the Drury
Lane Theatre, London, and created much
discussion. 1t was accepted as the greatest
of all the Hall Game successes. When
William A. Brady visited London last sum-
mer he secured the American rights for
Mi. Lackaye and arranged to import the
entire English production. The novelty
of the scenes and the effects was such that
without months of preparation. Mr.. Lack
aye will, therefore, be seen In an English
production with an American cast, in
GLIDING Miss Elsie Ferguson, a leading
woman, who has made a London reputa-
ton.
Very realistic are said to be the scenes
depicting the harvest festival upon the
Isle of Man and the explosion In the sui
phur mine of the Sicilian convict settle
ment. Mr.. Lackaye is said to have fine
opportunities as the gigantic Slcilian who
is bent upon the murder Of his half brother,
but who proves himself capable of rising
TO the greatest heights of heroic self
sacrifice. 1t is his love for a woman
that transforms Jason from the rude
avenger to the preserver of the man he
has sworn to kill.
THE Bondman" has made a strong i'm
preston elsewhere, we are told, not only
for the virility OF Mr.. Lackaye's acting
but for the beauty of its stage pictures.
Its presentation In Newark will be one Of
the most notable Of the local season.

HOLSTERS AT VARIANCE.
Shall General Lew Wallace Statue Be
of Bronze or Marblef

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. A row
is brewing in the Indiana commission
which has been named by Governor Hanly
to arrange for placing a statue of the late
General Lew Wallace In Statuary Hall
at the Capitol.
The commission is divided as to whether
the statue should be Of bronze or marble,
a majority favoring the former. The COM
panion piece, a statue of Oliver P. Nor
ton, placed in the hall by the State of
Indiana, some years ago, is of marble.
There are three rome statues in the
Statuary Hall-one of General James
Shields. contributed by the State OF I'LL
nois, and two statues placed there by the
State of Maryland.
The commissioners viewed the bronze
statuary recently in an effort to. reach an
agreement, but were unsuccessful. One OF
the commissioners, Captain Megrew, who
served In the General WALLACE regiment,
has served notice on his colleagues that
he will never sign a report recommending
the purchase of a bronze memorial.

Under the impression that he was

demonstrator for the directoire gown,
Charles Fitzgerald caused great excite

an hour yesterday among roomers in
a lodging house at % Haight street.
Hearing strange groanS in an upstairs
room the landlord found Fitzgerald
tightly swathed in blankets and strips
of sheet torn from the bed.
I'm a mummy returning to life
volunteered Fitzgerald in a series of
remarkable groans which he explained
to the surprised landlord meant Egyp-
tian for the statement. One of the
roomers who crowded curiously into
the room suggested that he was a
fool To prove that he wasn't Fitz-
gerald grabbed long bladed knife and
slashed the close fitting blankets up
one side as far as his waist. Then he
chased everybody out of the room with
his knife and paraded through the
halls, while modest dodgers slammed
their doors, proclaiming loudly that he
was hiref to demonstrate the directoire
skirt.
After half an hour the landlord
managed to reach a telephone and get
the police. Fitzgerald was taken Il
