Whitewater Register: One of the
most remarkable political papers of the
year, is the letter of Ex-President
Cleveland, given to the public since his
death. IL was written short time be-
fore his last illness and dealt in very
sincere, outspoken way with present
issues. There is tone of sadness but
Of earnest conviction pervading it
throughout. He sees no Characters
tics of the old time democracy in the
doctrines and purposes of the organiza-
ton now calling itself the democratic
party. His conclusion accordingly is
that the declarations and platform of
the republican party appeal more
strongly to all patriotic citizens than do
those of their opponents and he
recommends the republican candidate,
VIM. II. Taft as safer and in every
respect a better man for the presidency
at this time than any other of the nomi-
nees for that office. The publication of
this letter has produced profound inn
preston, and is everywhere receiving
the approval of conservative democrats.

ADVENT OF BIG STEAMERS.

The fear expressed in some quarters
that the advent of big tramp steamers
in the Grays Harbor lumber carrying
trade will have an injurious effect on
the smaller vessels, especially sailing
craft, is without foundation.
The large ships are taking lumber
that would not be shipped in smaller
vessels, nor from Grays Harbor at all.
This lumber goes to foreign ports, to
trade that has been formerly monopo-
lized by Puget Sound and Portland.
The big tramps simply indicate that
the improvements of the harbor are
bearing fruit; that ship owners are
discovering that Grays Harbor is one
of the best Harbors on the Coast, and
that the local mills are entering upon
a vast field of trade from which they
We're heretofore debarred.

THE SUPERIOR JUDGSHtP.

The Abel-Irwin papers seem dis
posed to befog the real issue that is
being fought in this county fora clean
and capable Judge. The favorlte trick
of those papers is to allege all kinds OF
reasons for the revolt against Irwin
except the rGht one.
The WashiAgtonian calls it the "ef-
forts of the Benn crowd" Yet W..
II. Abel was an active member of that
"crowd" two years ago, and he is now
credited with having said he would
re-elect Irwin if it cost him $4,000. a
number of good people are asking,
why?
The favorte line of the Irwin de-
Tense seems to be to rekindle the old
fl yht of two years ago on county seat
removal and division. But, the peo-
pie refuse to be diverted. They fail
to see any connection between the
propositions. The original scheme of
lining up Hoquiam and the eastern
part of the county against Aberdeen
by calling it contest of the "Benn
crowd has fdlIen flat.
Judge Irwin has been on the super
ior bench of this county for fifteen
years, and, without the machinery of
a political party behind him, he must
stand or fall upon the record he has
made. The record will be shown, and
if his newspapers wish to aid him they
should get busy defending that record.
All attempts to obscure the real is
sue are but confessions of weakness as
to the real cause of his opposition-in
competency.

Plaintiff contends that no real

passed, plaintiff did not receive it
and is unable to return it. Defend
ant Abel is in more favorable con-

Stevens, if at all, with full know
ledge of the manner in which the

some insight into the laboriOus, obi
Gus, unpleasant and sickening task
of caring for plaintiff in her unfor-
tunate condition. 1t would be diff
cult to imagine one more needful of
financial assistance than she. 1t
would be hard to imagine a case of
more monstrous brutality, than that
exhibited by defendant, Scott r.
Stevens, as shown by the evidence in
this case. No one has twice ap-
peared as attorney and counsel for
this imbecile plaintiff, and prevent
ed her from securing a guardian and
having her property protected, and
rendered it possible for this unna-
tural son to deprive her of her last
dollar, should now be heard to COM
plain that he had no notice of her
mental condition or of facts sufficient
to place him upon his guard. If the
prayer of plaintiffs complaint can
not be granted, a revolving injustice
has been perpetrated. We then have
an unconscionable wrong without
any remedy.

Legal Points.
list. Plaintiff contends that the
| deed from Catherine Stevens to Scout
r. Stevens, having been executed by
her being entirely incompetent ana
unable to comprehend or understand
the nature or result of her act, Is
totally void.
The evidence certainly shows her
incompetent to commit any crime.
She had no mind to acquiesce or
meet in an agreement. Her act was
nullity. Common sense would die
tate that one in her condition, who
could kill her fellowman with I'M
punity. should not be held respon-
sible as understanding and compre-
hending a more intricate business
transaction.
Ind. If said deed was void, then
the defendant mortgages could OBJ
tain no rights or interests thereun-
der. 1t is also void as to them.
3rd. If the court should be of the
opinion that the deed in question Is
merely voidable, then it could be
avoided by plaintiff through her
guardian who has acted with reason
able promptness, and plaintiff con-
tends that this avoidance should con-
troll as to all the defendants. 1t
must control as to Scott r. Stevens
grantee to such voidable deed, and
also as to any person who has pur-
chased or taken an incumbrance on
said nroperty either with the know
ledge of Cathrine Stevens mental
condition or with the knowledge OF
any facts sufficient to put them on
their guard. This deed is at least
yoidable as to defendants, Scott IL.
Stevens and w. H. Abel, and as 10
the other defendants, as we contend
also, SO far as plaintiffs undivided
half of the land is concerned.
Under the condition revealed by
the evidence the burden is placed
upon the defendants to show their
good faith in securing such deed and
mortgages.
4tb. Plaintiffs complaint herein
prays for general relief. If by any
possible construction of the evidence
in this case, the court should mold
the mortgages of the defendants,
Wade and Abel, good as against their
land he should at least give plalntlf
Judgment against the defendant
Scott r. Stevens, for the considera-
ton named in the deed as $20Oo.oo
and make it a lien upon the property
in question subject to such mort
cages as he may consider possessed
of any validity.

After suffering untold agonies for
three days as the result of rabies, four
year old horse on the John Polzin farm
in the town Of Center, died Friday night.
Before the true nature OF the disease
was known the frantic steed fastened
his teeth in Mr. Polzin's left arm, but
owing to the fact that he wore heavy
coat at the time prevented the animal
from biting into the flesh.
After being fought out for two days in
the Dane county circuit court at Madi
son, private sediment was finally
reached in the case of Abel L Fisher of
GAINESVILLE against the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st Paul Railway company. Mr.
Fisher claims that while loading tobacco
in freight car of the defendant at
Stoughton, switch engine bumped
against the car with such force as to
knock him over and causing injury to
his hand. He alleged that the injury is
permanent one, and sued to recover
$4,000 damages.
w Ell Noyes a farmer living in the
town of Rock, has lost three cows as the
result of the bite of mad dog, and three
more, which have been bitten, will prob
ably die. DR. George Little of this city,
when summoned. found all the symp-
toms Of rabies present and at once made
a report to State Veterinarian Roberts
at Madison. Dr. Roberts said at once
that all the symptoms pointed to rabies.
DR. Little received the analysis from the
state veterinarian, showing that the
symptoms of rabies in virulant form
were evident and that the cattle died
from the disease. Dr. Little adheres to
the theory that mad dog got into the
herd and bit some Of the animals, thus
inoculating them. In his opinion the
disease will not spread to other cattle 10
the bunch, as it is seldom that cows bite
each other and it cannot be transmitted
otherwise. The cattle affected were ali
| young ones, not mich cows, and have
| been by themselves away from the cows.
The first cow was taken i'll about two
weeks ago and not knowing the nature
of it's disease it was allowed to run with
the rest of the herd. Four others were
| soon taken sick and then d Little was
called. He at once sent tn head and

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief.
II shall go into the church and steal
money from somebody else,' said the
pilgrim, for | have nothing to go
home with" He went into the church
and, seeing a man in the crowd with
a wallet on his back slipped his hand
into it and pulled out his own stolen
purse, with the exact sum he had left
in it. He was SO glad to find his mon
ey that he hurried off to tell the priest,
