oS8oRN's CANDIDACY.


Osborn's name lends distinct
color to the situation by reason of his
long and active residence in the state.
His energy can be likened 20 a six
cylinder engine, running with a mag
nets and battery combined. Wher-
ever he is, there is action. and it is
not too much TO say that his deter
mination to enter the race means that
the several entries will be obliged to
rcdouble their efforts. He combines
many qualities that have thus far
made him successful figure in poll
tics and literary achievement. AS an
orator he can talk faster and cover
more ground than two ordinary speak
crs and his ability to turn off COM
plcted work is indicative of his capa-
city i'm a general way.
For several years Mr.. Osborn has
devoted himself to extensive travel
and his knowledge of the world, and
particularly the South American re-
publcs has found expression i'm sew
cral published volumes that have re-
ceived most favorable comment His
start I'm life was made with the mea-
ger, but useful asset of determination,
and hard, driving ability to work
and preserve. A successful newspaper
publisher, nc has likewise proved eff
ficicnt in various commercial and min e
ing activities that have produced for
him comfortable competence.
His entrance into the campaign thus
early will afford him opportunity for
stating his position i'm regard to state
questions. With the operation of the
primary law much depends upon the
candidates platform. This is day

EaIsifxinu an Old Proxerb.

The adage 'FHappy is the bride
that the sun shines on" is one that
is unknown in many lands. AsBre-
ton bride likes to have wet wed
ding and takes it unhappily when
the day of her wedding dawns bright
and sunny. Rain on her marriage
morn is held to signify that all her
tears are shed and that she will
therefore have a happy married life.
It is said that the Era of Simbrisk
call the day before the wedding the
weeping day, and the bride and her
girl friends weep as much as posi-
Bile, with the idea of getting the
mourning of life over, SO that only
what is joyful may remain. In some
countries this result is expected by
sousing the bride with water. The
Greeks think that a thorough
drenching of the bride will bring
her lasting good fortune.

OUR EARLY PAINTERS.
Eeniar,i- Was; Started Ais Career as
an Infant ?rodisy.


an infant Prodigy.
Naturally the early painters in
ccloaiai times we're immigrants.
They were for the most part men
whose names have long since per-
ished and were probably of little
account sTe1l il their own Gay. We
picture these men vith their paint
boxes and rolls of canvas packed
upon their knapsacks, trudging up
hill and down dale, begging an oc-
casional ride, putting up at road
inns end painting a new sign to set
tie the landlords score. As late, by
the way, as 1888 Matthew Pratt,
resident painter of Philadelphia,
found signboards as profitable a sub
ject as portraits.
Benjamin West may be reckoned
the earliest of native born Ameri-
can painters, for, although his birth
occurred in 1873, a year after that
of John Singleton Copley, his rise
to notice preceded the latteT's.
West, in fact, began by being an in
FAINT prodigy and never quite got
over it. It was a remarkable fact
in itself that an artist should be
born of Quaker family in little
Pennsylvania settlement, amid the
rigors of frontier life, and that with
out any known encouragement from
his family and surroundings the
child at six years old should have
Enthusiastically shown artistic tend
encies. The story is that while
left in charge of baby sister he
tried to make portrait of her in
red and black ink. Then the fol-
lowing year some Indians showed
him how to make red and yellow
colors, while his mother allowed him
to dip into her indigo tub and even
made brush for him from the fur
of the cat. With these rude ma
terials he executed some colored
drawings that attracted the atten-
ton of a Mr.. Pennington of Phila-
delphia, who presented him with a
real box of paints and some engray-
ings after Italian pictures. He
made such rapid progress that be-
fore he was twelve years old he was
practicing as professional portrait
painter in Philadelphia. By the
time he was twenty-five he had
saved enough money to visit Rome,
whittier his fame had preceded him.
Three years later he reached Lon
don and was received with an en-
thusiasm that at once launched him
into a success which only grew
greater as the years went by. Final
ly he was elected president of the
Royal academy and held this posi-
ton until his death, when great
public funeral was given to his re-
mains in st. Paul's cathedral.-Cir-

IRON RIVER

From the Pioneer


From the Pioneer
On Monday night of this week a
meeting of the citizens was held at
the Town Hall for the purpose OF
starting a movement for the fitting
celebration of the coming Fourth.
About forty business men we're
present and the sentiment was I'M
ANXIOUS for celebration. The meet
ing was organized by electing Byron
Ripley chairman and Edward +.
Daniels secretly.
Philip Lund, the Iron River 10y
who has been with the U. 5. Marines
for the past three and half years.
and who made a trip with the fleet.
In a letter to relatives in this city,
says that he has just returned from
the rifle range where he has qualified
as an expert rifeman. Ia order to
get in that class 40 bulls-eyes must
be made out Of possible fifty. He
was the only marine off the NeDras-
kd who made good" and he natur-
ally feels elated over his success.
For the past three or four months
a deal has been pending for the sale
of a large block of lands OF Mark
Hessey to some Minneapolis gentle
men. aud last week Mr.. Hessey
visited the city and closed the deal.
The deeds are being made out and
the abstracts OF title brought up-to-
date, and it is expected that within
a week or two the matter will be en-
tirely closed up.
Several months ago the PIONEER
announced that the Evangelical
church people of this city were quiet
ly working on plans tor the con-
struction of house of worship and
a place Of residence for their pastor
ia I ron River. The local members
pledged liberal sums and many citi-
zens who are not members helped
the good cause along also in SUBJ
stahtial way, then the state con-
fere nee voted to aid the Iron River
chu rch. From all sources enough
money has been pledged to construct
a very creditable church building
and parsonage. The site selected Is
on the corner of Mill and Main
streets.
