One of the neatest pieces of poiiti-

county for several years has tran
Spired in the last ten days. From
early in the spring to the present
time large number Of Republicans
have been trying their very best 10
get o. W. Dawson Of this city into
the race for senator. 1t was those
Republicans who are opposed to tie
reelection Of Senator Chapman. All
sorts Of pressure was brought to bear
on Mr.. Dawson, and on the other
hand the friends of the senator used
their best endeavors to keep Dawson
out. The senator's friends urged
Dawson for Register of Deeds, and
for the legislature. Anything to keep
him out Of ChapmaL's way. Dawson
hesitated. Finally, when certain
other parties who had been slated for
representatives refused to stand. the
Chapman adherents had their oppor
tunity, and they began the draft, with
the result that Dawson is now a can
didate, for the legislature, brought
out by Chapman's friends, who urged
him to stay out Of the senatorial race,
but who have since urged him 10 get
into this other race. This was finally
brought about by the active workers
Of the anti Chapman fellows who
were again laying down on Dawson
to run for senator. Thus the legisla
tive candidates from this section will
doubtless be Chapman and Dawson,
two men Numerically opposed, OF
said to be, to one another on all poll
teal matters. Whether Dawson ex.

Stubs and Bristow or whether Chap.
man expects to swing Dawson into
line for Leland and Long, We have
not determined. Whether they viii

other unanswered question.

When the council adjourned last
night they found that the band boys
on leaving the building had forgot
about the council and had locked the
lower door. The Mayor telephoned
to have the red light turned on and
to inform to the police the situation
aud have them come and let the coun
ell out. In the meantime Fred Mil.

The shipowner required no second
bidding. With the skill for which ne
was noted, he described his operations
in detail, telling how every farthing of
the first instruments of the two great
loans was paid up, how the earnings
of his fleet would quickly overtake the
deficit in capital value caused by the
loss of the three ships, and how, in six
months time. the leading financial
houses of London, Paris and Berlin
would be offering him more money

enthusiastically. The unallotted cap

times its face value in two years.
"Ail the more reason to make his

the Yorkshireman. But look here. You

saw today. Why not tell him not to

Even Iris laughed at this naive sug-
gestion. 1t was delightful TO think
that the arch enemy was actually
helping the baronet's affairs at that
very moment. and would continue to
do so until he was flung aside as being
of not further value. Although Vent
nor himself had carefully avoided any
formal commitment the cablegrams
awaiting the shipoWner at Singapore
showed that confidence had already
been restored by the uncontradicted
use of his lordship's name.
Robert at last obtained a hearing

persons present. You spoke of finan-
cial houses in England and on the con-
tinent backing up your loans six
months hence, Sir Arthur. You need

The barOnet laughed with a whole
hearted gaiety that revealed whence
Iris got some part, at least, of her
bright disposition.

that she and Lord Ventnor planned
the affair for which Anstruther was
tried by cOurt-martial. 1t must have
been a beastly business, FOR COstobell

words were icy enough. And you ought
TO have seen Ventnor's face when he
heard of the dispositions, sworn to and
signed by Mrs. Costobell and by sew

TO give false evidence. He promised TO
marry Mrs COstobell if her husband
died. or, i'm any event, to bring about
a divorce when the Hongkong affair

POSTSCRIPT.

The latest news of Colonel and Mrs
Anstruther is contained In a letter
written by an elderly maiden lady, res
ident in the North Riding of Yorkshire,
to a friend in London. It is dated some
corded.
Although its information is garbled
and, to a certain extent, inaccurate,
those who have followed the adven-
lures of the young couple under discus
sion Will be able to appreciate its opin-
ions at their true value. When the
writer states facts, of course, her
veracity is unquestionable, but occa-
sSonally she founders badly when she
depends upon her own judgment.
Here is the letter:

An article in the Mohall Trib-
une headed "Frenzied Finance
follows:
A Swede went into one Of the
banks at Kenmare a few days ago
and asked to borrow ten dollars
for a month. The Swede had
plenty Of land and was honest, so
the bank loaned him the money
but was careful to take out the in
%terest, which, though a little high
amounted to $3.50. The Swede
started for home with his $3.50
and the farther he walked the
more he studied his financial con-
dition. He sat down beside the
road and was still figuring when
one of his friends CHANGED to come
his way.
whats the matter, Ole? What's
troubling you today? Ole scratched
his head a little and then replied:
