The Judge examined the papers per

REPUBLICAN HOME RULE.

Home rule as Republican doctrine
receives fitting tribute from Secre'
|tary Taft, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Realizing that the people
of the state of New York prefer some
body else for the candidacy, and thai
that person is one of the states own
sons, he requests his supporters to
stop working for him in that state
any longer. 81 have" says the secre'
tary, in a letter to Congressman Her
bert Parsons, uniformly urged
friends of mine not to attempt to d.
vide, in my interest, the delegation
from any state which has candidate
of its own. Since Governor Hughes
has indicated his willingness to accept
the Republican nomination, / now
make the same request of you and
my other friends in your state. More
over | would greatly deprecate a con-
test which might imperil Republicans
victory in New York in November.
Anything that / can do to avoid this,
| am anxious to do" This is ortho-
dox Republicanism, and also, and
consequently, good sense. Local
favortes should be allowed TO have
a freefield in their own communities.
Each community should be permitted
to order its local affairs TO suit itself.

that Thurlow Weed, Stewards cam
paign manager, was trying to capturL
delegates for Seward in Ohio, Chase
said: Weed knows that Ohio is
committed to me- He will keep OUT
of this state" Chase was correct on
one point. Weed refused to invade
Ohio. although active in all the states
which had no home aspirants.

Broadway Methodist church. has be-
gun a series of sermons on the Ten
Commandments at the Sunday night
service. This is done at the request
of the Epworth League of this church.
DR.. Sullivan's sermon last night on
the First Commandment. was an elo-
quent and earnest presentation of the
great truth that underlies all religion.
A large congregation with young men
predominating, heard him.
Miss Frances Coleman sang "Alone
With Thee" very impressiyely as the
offertory Sunday morning at the
Broadway Methodist church.
The Rev. J. W. BACKYARD, D. D..

WHAT'S IN A NAME?


whats in a name?" dou you ask
Mark Twain can answer. He has
copyrighted his own name for the
benefit of his children. Mark went
broke once, and he has worked hard
and paid off his debts. He has also
accumulated a competence, sufficient
to maintain him the balance of his
days in comfort; but he knows that
when he is dead his name will live
after him-on bottles of "unbonded
whisky" and cigar boxes, soap boxes
and various other kinds of packages.

whisky in a most modest way during

He has also taken the precaution to

name he made for himself. That's a
quantity modern way of looking at
the literary business. 1t has. a tinge

no serious damage was done. Her
household goods were removed, but
the aremen prevented the spread of
the flames.
The stable OF Mr.. Henry katterjohn
caught fire several times. but was ex-
.tinguished every time. He took his
horse and buggy out of the stable.
Some hay was damaged and Mr.. Kat
terjohn estimates his loss at 500.
A stable OF Mrs. Belle Porter
caught fire and was damaged about
800.
Some Cans Removed.
Owing to the cold weather about
$4,000 worth of canned goods had
been removed from the factory and
stored in a warehouse two weeks ago.
This reduces the loss, although much
fine machinery was destroyed. About
1000 empty cans and many labels
were also ruined. All. the electric
wires in the building had beens cut
out several weeks and there had been
no fire in the building since remov-
ing the goods.
The factory was built eight years
ago by stock company, but the next
year was sold to Adolph, Lee and
Jesse Well the present owners, and
had run every season with success
When the canning season was on the
4ctory employed about 200 people.
