The direct primary law is being

Such sterling democrats as Guy
Remington, Geo. Atwater, Elmer
Sims, John Whitlock, L. K. Deck,
S. M. Burns, j. NJ. jackson, and a
score of Others should be consid-

the officials for the state house

Centers of population can elect q

The Los Angeles Tribune says:
The vote thst was cast for prohi-
bition in California should convey
serious admonition TO the saloon
that appears to exist only on suf-
ferance. Prohibition failed to
carry, but the vote cast was so
large as to amaze the friends of
the liquor traffic. 1t is evident
that had the proposed constitu-
tional amendment been less ag-
gressive, had it, for instance, been
limited to the abolition Of the
saloon, il would have carried by

cali specfaft attention at this time to
the advantages offered patrons Of the
parcel post by the insurance feature
|of the system. It is evident that
many people do not fully understand
how cheaply packages can be insured
and how much II adds to their safe
conduct. Five cents In addition to
the regular postage will insure a par
eel up to the value Of $25 and ten
cents In addition to the regular post
age will insure It to the value Of $50.
The advantages of this feature are
not confined solely to the recovery OF
the value Of package in the event
of loss or damage. but furnishes a
record which materially aids in the
recovery Of q packn &c in event of its
in the mails.
The public is corula1ly invited by
the postmaster to make specific in
curry Of the postoffice. either In per-
son, by telephone or mail. concerning
many matters respecting the trans
mission Of mails. which they do not
understand, and such Information will

Game.

FA1RMoNT, Nov. Manager
Stansbury Of the Wesleyan football
team, is taking no chances on the
surface Of the field at South Side
Park not being in the best Of shape
for the big state championship game
which will be played on it Thanksgfv-
ing Day between West Virginia and
Wesleyan. Arrangements have been
made whereby the field will be COW
cred the night preceding the game
with heavy layer of straw, so that
regardless of the temperature the
ground will not freeze and be muddy
or spongy when the time for the
kickoff comes.
A large force Of men, also, has been
arranged for, so that in case there is
an extra heavy fall OF snow between
this time and time for the big battle
that 1t can be shoveled of within
two hours preceding the game and
a good firm surface be presented upon
which the warriors may match their
mettle. A large part of the seats
at South Side Park are covered and
should there be a fall Of snow It will
be cleaned from those seats that are
exposed and the game will proceed

Judge Coffey Not To
Be fooled By Dodge

Oriska, N D.. March 12.-The arrest
here Monday of L. NJ Kuhry by the
sheriff of Barnes county was the cul-
animation of what local advocates of
law and decency have considered an
attempt to manipulate the courts and
dodge justice.
Kuhry was convicted on a blind-pig
charge before Judge J. A. Coffey in
January and sentenced to 5000 fine and
costs and 80 days imprisonment. On
the statement of a Valley City doctor
that the defendant was physically un-
fit to serve jail sentence at that time.
Judge Coffey granted reprieve o.
forty days for recovery. The expira-
ton of that time found Kuhry confined
to his home here He again secured
from the same physician certificate
of physical incapacity to serve in Jail.
Thereupon the court relieved the de-
fendant from jail sentence on condi'
tion that he take an approved liquor
cure. 1t is reported that within two
hours after his receipt OF the notice OF
this release, he was about the town
apparently as vigorous as ever. He
Immediately took up his routine Of
business and amusements. The re
markable rapidity of his convalescence
and the passing Of a week with nc
steps toward taking the cure" arous

ordered an investigation. The suppos
