The late Rev. Horaho Stebbins of
San Francisco was man of large
mind and noble powers, but more
familiar with the world of intellect
ual and scholastic interests than with
trivial and timely things, says the
Cleveland Leader.
His household was blessed with a
charming daughter, who grew up
tall and beautiful, commanding the
admiration of all who saw her. One
day visitor said to the good doctor:
Doctor, your daughter grows
more charming day by day. Why,
she's regular Gibson girl"
"Ah, thank you; thank you," re-
piled the doctor in his best manner
When the visitor had gone, turning
to his wife, the doctor asked: "My.
dear, who are the Gibsons? ?" .

Two Popular Candidates Attended
Court Here.

One of the busiest men here on
the first day of Court was Hon.
Hal w. Depue, the popular Dem
ocratic candidate candidate for
Secretary of State. Mr.. Depue
arrived here early Tuesday morn
ing and spent the day renewing
old acquaintance and making
many new friends, not only in his
own party but among the Repub-
licans as well. He is well pleased
with the outlook for Democratic
success in the State and nation
and predicts a general landslide.
Mr.. Depue is well known to the
voters of this county and the
fact that he is a candidate adds
much strength to the state tick
ct.
Hon. Fred i. Fox, of Sutton,
the Democratic candidate for
State Senate from this district
was a visitor here Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week. Dur
ing his stay he met many Demo-
Gratis and Republicans upon all of
whom he made a favorable i'm
preston. He is one of the
States foremost lawyers, is a
| quiet, pleasant gentleman, par
ticularly fitted for the office to
which he aspires. We are in
formed that a man by the name
of Tilton from POcahontas county
will be his opponent on the regu-
las Republican ticket and also
that a petition is being circulated
in some of the upper counties to
place one G. Warren Hays on
some sort of an Independent OF
bull moose ticket against Mr.
Fox. Mr.. Fox expects to visit
the county again and make sew.
eral speeches before the cam.
paign closes.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR.

Mr.. Editor: When the resul
of the Democratic Primary Flee
ton had been certified by the ex
ecutive committee. we, the Dem,
ocrats Of Sheridan District. haC
settled down to take our medicine
and abide by the will of the ma
Jor!ty, without any reckoning IS
to how the majority Lad been
procured. We were in condi-
ton to realize that there is so
much good in the worst of us and
so much bad in the best of us,
that it does not become any of
us to talk about the rest of us. I"
1t was more than a month after
the Primary before one discord-
ant note had Jared upon the ear
of a Sheridan district Democrat.
Now it is apparent, not denied
that there is a family row among
the democratic nominees. Each
district in the county except
Sheridan is safely Democratic
and yet there comes from one of
them, a threat that one candidate
shall have 200 majority cast
against him in that district in
the general election. Strange
analoguel 1t is grotesque as tits
intolerable, that the several can
didates should become competing
candidates to barter away the
election of their fellows. Com
blnations made and sought to be
made by candidates to secure
their own election whist they
are fighting other candidates on
the same ticket is not Democra-
cy. 1t is a disgrace to the mem
DRY of Judas Iscariot-who may
have believed that, although he
betrayed Christ, the Father
would not permit harm to come
of it. The burden of their song
should be:
Help us to help each other, Lord,
Each others cross to bear"
The supreme duties of the can
didates are social justice toward
each other, and to conserve the
character and principles of the
party that gave to them their
nominations. Nobody in these
days of insurgency" believes
that the Democrats of Calhoun
county will become the tools of
corrupt candidates to be used by
them to serve their selfish pun
poses. Candidates as yet only
the recipients of a party nomina-
ton seem to be already under
the control Of the plumber league
of professional politicians. No
better proof is needed than that
of a new born Republican candi-
date, before he was old enough
to stand and suck, placing in
nomination a democrat, already
the nominee of the Democratic
party. We seem to be under a
reign of financial despotism, and
political assassination, with
blind Sampson bearing hard up
on the pillars of the Democratic
Temple.
If the candidates wish to es-
tablish justice, insure tranquil
ty, provide for defense, promote
the general welfare, and secure
their election, they must form a
more perfect union" And for
sins already committed, bring
forth fruits meet for repent
ance" that the voters may be
able to have faith in their SINGER
ity. 1t is written that "a house
divided against itself cannot
stand.

that the water is better than the av-

There is no sweetish taste about it,
but 1t has a strong flavor of sulphur
and is slightly carbonated.
The reason for this phenomenon
cannot easily be explained, but that a
supply of water can be contained in
a tree is not so surprising. The fact
OF its flowing is the wonderful feature,
showing that it must be Under pres

more at the source of the supply.
When it is considered that the trees
furnish water in the dry season and
that the ground is literally baked, it
IS the more remarkable, especially
when the roots of the trees do not
extend to any great depth into the
ground
