Now Here's a Good Man.

G, H. Fry, who spent year in this
city clerking for j. d. Harbur, and who
returned to his former home at Sheldon
about year ago, is candidate for the
Office OF circuit clerk up in Vernon
county. Concerning his candidacy,
last week s. Sheldon Enterprise has the
following comment.
sc, H, Fry. who has definitely de-
cided to make the race as a candidate
for circuit clerk at the coming primary,
was circulating among the voters up in
tho northeastern part Of the county the
first of the week.
"If there is any one with more friends
than genial Gam Fry down in this
end of the county, this paper has yet to
hear of him, ard his popularity will
work to his benefit when the primary
day comes around. Mr.. Fry is in every
way we'll qualified for tho office he is
going after, and would fill the place
very acceptably."

'ePig in a Poke :"

We've often heard that old saying
about "pig in poke" but the Golden
City Register thus chronicles the only
actual instance thereof that has come
to our knowledge:
"While coming to Golden City, last
Sunday, Earnest Deininger, living
northeast OF here, lost small pig out
of his buggy which he was bringing to
bis brother, Rudolph. The little pork
er was tied in a sack and placed in the
back end of the buggy, and during the
ride, no doubt jumped out. The pig
was not missed until Mr.. Deininger ar
rived in town, No clue, as yet, to the
missing porker."

Safe for One Year, Anyway.

There is one man in Jasper oounty
that can manufacture and sell whiskey
for one year, no matter if the county
does go dry. This individual is Thomas
Lotion, who conducts distillery near
Asbury, in the northwest part of the
county. The county court granted him
a license Friday to manufacture and
sell spirituous liquors for one year end
ing January 90, 1911. He cannot sell
less than one gallon.
The granting of Mr.. Lotions license
brought up the matter of expiration of
saloon licenses and local option. The
county judges stated that all saloon Ii
censes wero good until they expired,
whether local option carried or not. Lii.

All Europe, kings and commoners alike, received Theodore as the most distinguished of living Americans. He was entertained by royalty and nobility everywhere he went, and al
 ways the people greeted him with vociferous applause. What possibly
 pleased the former president more
 than all this was the fact that liter ary and scientific circles received him
 as a man of letters and science and several learned societies elected him to membership.
 In Paris. Christiania, Berlin and OK ford Mir. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
 public addresses and the literary and scientific circles opened to let him in
 and marvsled at the wide scope of his knowledge.
 The event connected with MT
 Roosevelt's European tour that aroused the most interest and excite
 ment occurred immediately after his
 arrival in Italy early in April Before
 he left Africa his desire to pay his
 respects to the pope had been con- veyed to the Vatican and the holy father had intimated that he would be glad to see the distinguished Ameri-
 can. About the same time former VicePresident Fairbanks was in
 Rome and had arranged for an audi
 ence at the Vatican which was can
 celled by the pope because Mir Fair
 banks first addressed the Methodist
 r ission in Rome. When Colonel Roosevelt reached the Eternal City he received, through the American minis. ter, message from Cardinal Merr, del Val, papal secretary of state. to the effect that the pope would grant
 an audience to MT. Roosevelt if he
 did not repeat the mistake made by
 Mr. Fairbanks. The colonel promptly
 called it all off. stating that as an in-
 dependent American citizen he could
 not submit to such restrictions The head of the Methodist mission tried to make religious capital out of this. and

 Travelling northward somewhat leis- urely, by way Of Brussels, Amsterdam and Copenhagen, Mir. Roosevelt ar rived at Christiana and delivered an address on international peace before the Nobel prize commission, which had awarded to him the Nobel peace prize for his successful efforts to end the Russian-Japanese war.
 Emperor William had made great plans for the entertainment of the ex- president in Berlin, but the death of King Edward caused the curtailment of tt program to a considerable ex- tent. Instead of being the kaiser's guest in the palace, MT. Roosevelt stopped at the American embassy. and though William received him and dined him and showed him the Ger. man army in maneuvers, the more spectacular and public features were omitted. On May 12 Mir. Roosevelt de- liyered at the University of Berlin an address on modern civilization which was highly praised for it's scholarly qualities.

San Francisco.-Stirred io action by insistent protests from all parts of the state, Gov. James N. Gillett has taken steps to prevent the champion ship fight between James l. Jeffries and Jack Johnson, scheduled to take place in this city July 1.
 In letter to Attorney General L. ;. Webb, the governor expresses his disapproval of prize fighting in un- measured terms and directs that the aid of the courts be invoked to p.e- vent the match. and concludes with a positive order that in case a plea fo a restraining crder is not granted and the fight is held, the attorney general proceed to gather evidence and pros ecute the principals and those intee- ested in the fight for violation of the penal code of California.
 While the status cf the Jeffries- Johnson fight is in an unsettled con- dition now. the sporting fraternity is much cast down. and it is generally believed that the death knell of prize fighting in California has been sounded.

How 1t Looks in Tennessee.

Duke G. Bowers, Memphis Tenn
merchant, owning and conducting 81
stores-"Temples of Economy" he calls
them. found an article in the Woman
Daily of September 23d, which he clipped
and sent to the JOURNAL with the fol-
lowing note:
To the mind of an outsider (who has the
welfare of the consumer at hearth the
papers of your District would be doing the
nation public service to demand that Mr..
Pearre be sent back to Congress.
The following passage in the article is
UNDERSIGNED:
The Sixth District has for 10 years been
represented by one of the best men Mary
land has had in Congress, but factional fights
and the desire of wealthy Washington men
to represent the District became 50 great that
George A. Pearre, Incumbent finally with
drew from the contest.
The writer speaks of both Messrs.
Warner and Blair as Washington men
of wealth." and the inference is-he
thinks this District is easy when peo-
pie who live outside are permitted to
fight over its control.
All this may be correct, but Mr..
Bowers suggestion comes too late.
