MAKES REPLY

Connection With Ballots
for Truman Pierson.
TO POSTMAsTERsHlP
Metuchen, Sept IT,

M~etuchen. Sept IT.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS.
Now that the heat of Tuesdays
primary contest has cooled down |
feel that it is due my friends and
myself to answer the article that ap-
peared in two of the county papers
regarding the so-called queer
work" in printing primary ballots.
The article referred to stated that
Mr.. Pierson ordered his ballots on
Labor Day. This is untrue. His
order for ballots did not reach me
until September 18th. Had l cared
to act strictly within my rights and
stand on a te~chnicality, he would not
have been entitled to any ballots, for
the law states that an order for bal
lots must be received by the clerk
at least seven days before the cleo
ton at which the same are to be
used. Mr.. Potter had placed his or
der within the time specified, and
accordingly was entitled to receive
his first. Mr.. Pierson called me on
the telephone Saturday evening,
when / told him his ballots were not
ready. that those which were ready
belonged to Mr.. Potter, for which he
had an order. Mr.. Pierson then
asked whether he could not have
some of Mr.. Potter's tickets, to
which | replied that since an order
had been given for them he would
have to see Mr.. Potter. Mr.. Potter
hearing that Mr.. Pierson had not re-
ceived his ballots, hunted up Mr..
Pierson On Sunday and gave him
half Of htr f{pLnfG which trrIu fnu-
tilted to the absolute fairness and
manly character OF Mr.. Potter. Mr..
Persons tickets were ready the first
thing Monday morning, but he pre-
ferred not to get them until some
time in the afternoon, for reasons
now apparent.
Now as to my being slated for the
postmastership in case Mr.. Potter
were elected as representative to the
county committee, this also is I'M
true. Do my friends think l would
be willing to give up a permanent
and lucrative position for an uncer-
tain political one? No., Mr.. Editor,
the whole thing, tickets, postmaster
ship and all, was a use to play on
the sympathy OF the voters. How
well it succeeded is attested by the
result of the election.
However, the primary-the time
for quarrels within the ranks-is a
matter of history; Mr.. Pierson has
won, and I think it now behooves all
republicans to work for the success
of the party on election day, but /
could not but feel that an explana-
ton was due in justice to my friends
and myself.
Yours respectfully,
w. C. BOHLKE.

A Famous Opal.

The most famous opal in history was
that which was wofn in a ring by the
Roman senator Nonius in the day Of
the ~triumvfrate. Its size equaled that
Of a medium sized h%azelnut, yet its
beauty and brilliancy rendered It a
marvel among the dilettanti of Rome,
especially when it was known that the
goldsmfths and money changers had
set its value at 100000. Mark An
tony made overtures to Nonius for its
purchase, intending, it Is thought, to
present 1t to Cleopatra, but the senator
refused to part with 1t and for fear
that it would be taken from him by
sheer force sought safety in flight.
Here history loses all trace of this ia
nous gem, there being no record OF fts
transference from Nonius TO any of his
family.

Pinned Through the Neck to a Tree,
Yet He Survived.
1t was in The summer Of 1859 that
George Wainwright and Ben Spencer,
each In charge of a train of freight
wagons, were headed for the Missouri
river to bring supplies back to Colora-
do points. The Indians were very
troublesome in those days, and these
two outfits always camped together
for protection. One night they had ar
ranged the camp, with the wagons
forming a circle, and everybody but
the guards was to be inside. VAIN
wright preferred to sleep In a clump
of eottonwoods about a quarter of a
mile off, and there he fixed himself
Neither the camp nor Wainwright was
disturbed during the night, but early
the next morning while Vain wright
was sitting on the ground with his
back to a tree drinking is tin of cof-
fee an arrow from an unseen. foe en-
jugular vein and was driven with such
force as TO impaie the victim to the
tree. The negro, believing his master
was killed, ran to Spencer's camp and
gave the alarm.
Spencer and some of his men rushed
over to Wainwright. Instead of being
dead Wainwright was not even seri-
ously injured. Spencer cut the arrow
off close to the point Of entrance and
then gently drew Wainwright's head
forward until he was released. The
victim suffered but little Inconvenience
from the wound, and by the time the
trip was completed it was entirely
healed.-Los Angeles Times.
