EXPENSES
Several of the Candidates
Who Have

The 3rd OF December is the las.
day for filing statement Of election
expenses. The Attorney General
has decided that it WAS not neces-
sary to file statement of expenses
for the Primary election until 30
days after election. Most of the
candidates in this county have filed
statements of the Primary election
but those who have not will be COM
PEELED to file it within the 30 days
after election. The Republican
County Committee has filed it's
statement which shows that there
is still $500 on hand. This is some
thing that has ne yer happened before.
In every campaign more money is
spent then there are funds and when
the day of paying the bills came,
someone had to make up the dificier-
cy. These DEFICIENCIES have run all
the way from $500 to $4,000.
This year the amount received
from individual ontributions was
$65 90 and the amount expended was
SCI. 90, most of the expense being for
printed matter, postage and for hall
rent for speakers. The committee
wishes to to express it's gratitude to
the many friends who helped to
make the campaign success, those
who helped both with work and
money, and more especially to the
Newspapers of the county whose
publishers gave free space for the use
of the committee.
Sheriff elect Max Happle has filed
a statement and certifies that he
spent $301.6 in the primary and
election campaigns, Most of the
items on Mr.. Happles statement are
for pole workers, for railroad and
hotel bills and for printing.
Nels Myhre and Nels. M. Oscar
successful candidates for Register of
Deeds and County Clerk claim that
all it cost them to be elected was
what they contributed to the Re
publican County Committee which
was $40. 00each.
Andrew Johnson who was the in
dependent candidate for the Office of
Sheriff says that it cost him
only $27, 90 to make the try and that
the whole thing was spent for print
ing and for stamps.
DIR. f. J. Burns candidate for
Coroner, and James N. Kinney social
democratic candidate for Member of
Assembly says that they spent
nothing during the prediction cam
paign.

SCRATCHING FOR SAFETY.

A, Instance of Finding Fun In the
Midst of Disaster.
The laugh often comes In the very
face of danger. Privations and perils
cannot check the response to the COM
zeal. An instance Of finding fun In the
midst of disaster Is told by Captain T.
G. Morton in the Southern Historical
Papers" The Confederate picket line
was stationed on a sandy bottom near
a creek.
John Ford, one Of the men on duty,
was very plucky. He was seated near
an uprooted tree and could be plainly
seen by all his company. Suddenly
large mortar shell fell, unexploded, in
the sand about four feet from him,
the fuse smoking and sputtering.
John took In the situation at
glance. He argued to himself that the
shell would burst before he could get
up and run away, so that the safest
thing he could do would be to get into
the ground as fast as possible. With
the utmost rapidity he began to work
down into the sand with hands, feet
and head. The men watched the pro-
ceedings, shouting:
Scratch, John, scratch! She's going
OFF,
1t was an exciting spectacle. Never
was q man more in earnest. The sand
all about was in commotion, and in the
few seconds the fixing fuse gave him
John burrowed like great gopher till
nothing but the hump Of his back was
visible as the loose sand settled above
him.
The explosion came with a tremen-
dous jar, which shook the ground and
sent hundreds of pieces Of iron singing
through the air. Every one held his
breath, expecting to see poor John
blown into atoms. When the smoke
and dust blew away, it was seen that
Ford's head was still on his shoulders.
He looked cautiously up and, seeing all
was right, sang out a hearty "Who-
eehw as cheerily as If he had freed
coon instead of having been face to
face with death. cheer and a laugh
ran all along the line.

They got six Months.

Anam Bazina and Frank Bear
were brought to the County Jail
Monday to serve a six months
term for assault and battery
ommitted on Conductor Fred
Hotel of the Bayfield, Transfer
Railway. They created distur-
bence on the train and the train
was stopped and the men were
ordered off. It is said that one
of them picked up a large piece
of coal and hurled it at the con-
ductor striking him in the face
cutting several ugly gashes. The
men will have six months to
think it over.

The Victorian Enulish.

The England which spoke the Ian
guage which was already dying in the
cightecn-sixties was before all things
= world OF the country. The sights and
sounds of nature played far greater
part in the lives of the mass of the
people than they do today. This is re-
Gected. for instance, in the way in
which birds and animals were spoken
of and the names given them. 1 have
myself once or twice heard old people
in the country speak Of the hen as
Dame Partlet" One is familiar with
the phrase from books, Of course-it Is
Chaucer's pertoette"-but once or
twice as a child actually heard It,
suppose it would be impossible to hear
it anywhere now.-London Outlook.

Confession Of Mouth,

A city dentist. defending his profess
sion as whole from the double charge
of charlatanism and graft" made this
interesting declaration:
"While such things exist in dentistry.
as In all businesses, there is far more
of it among gilt edged practitioners
than along the modest level where, for
example, | work. Some men enjoying
the most fashionable clientele are the
rankest frauds either in ability or In
representation of work DONE
"But a dentist never can fool a den.
fist. Often a patient will get into my
chair for the first time. and in q casual
conversation will ask who last treat
ed the teeth. The name always comes,
and glance tells me whether the man
has worked honestly or dishonesty.

lists in that way in half a minute, and
many a reputation has crumbled in my
estimation.

AN ARGUMENT OF FORCE.
Napoleon Smashed Vase, and tbs
Treaty Was Signed.

Napoleon Smashed q Vase, and tbs
Treaty Was Signed.
Early In April, 1907, the people OF
Austria demanded peace with France.
Negotiations were begun in the vicini-
ty Of Leoben. Bonaparte, In an inter
view with the Austrian plenipotenti-
aries, said to them, "Your government
out generals, and this time a general
without an army" In the treaty
which the Austrian commissioners pro
jected the first article stipulated that
the emperor Of Austria thereby recog
nized the French republic. "Erase itr'
exclaimed Napoleon. '"The existence
Of the republic Is as plain as the sun.
This article Is only fit for the blind.
We are our own masters and shall es-
tablish any government we prefer If
one day the French people," he con-
tlnued, SHOULD wish to create a mon
archy, the emperor might object that
he had recognized a republic" The
preliminaries were soon settled, Napo-
leon signing for France, thus placing
himself on an equal footing with the
emperor Of Austria. The formal treaty
known as Campo Formio was signed
In October, 1907. Austria fulfilling the
pledges she had already given. The
Austrian plenipotentiary protested
against the distribution Of the prov
inces beyond the Adige. Napoleon was
angered at this, and, selling a vase,
dashed it to the ground, exclaiming.
eff 1t Is not so arranged I will break
your monarchy as have broken this
vasep This argument Of force, as
demonstrated to the diplomat was
convincing, and the treaty was signed.

A Quick Retort.

Tennessee bred two great orators On
the olden days--Andrew Johnson, a
Democrat, once president of the Unit
ed States, and Gustavus A. Henry, q
Wing, known as the eagle Orator Of
the South" They ran against each
other for governor, and when a long
series Of joint debates had reached its
close Johnson addressed the Wings in
the audience, II have spoken with the
boosted eagle orator from the Missis-
sippi river to the Unaka mountains,
and as yet I see no flesh in his talons
nor blood on his beak." Quick as q
flash Henry was on his feet, saying,
1.-THE American eagle is a proud bird
and feeds not ON carbon"
