metaphors and figures of speech, you will
recall this one which was sprung about the
time Henry Clay was brakeman on the e. & O.
A tall timber senator, in making his maiden
speech was exposing certain corrupt meas

Gentlemen, l smell a mouse, l see it brewing

THERE is one point in the foregoing story
to which we have always taken exception, and
that is the statement that the timber sena

refuse to believe that anything less than a
bomb would startle 'the greatest deliberatiye
body in the world.

our own making. Usually. however we find a

PAGE THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY

Now that the campaign pot
has begun to simmer, one Won
ders what has become of the dem
ocratic ingredients once esteemed
by political chefs as the main
component Of the stew.
The democratic party in this
locality has unaccountably dlsap-
peared. Its retirement is the
harder to understand because
modest self-effacement was new
er the bestting fraiTty of the
democrats. In the absence of
definite information there seems
to be a general impression that
they have mislaid their candi-
dates and are hiding out till
they find him Statements of
gentlemen formerly believed to
be democraats indicate that they
are in doubt whether they would
give a great deal to know what
their attitude is to be in the
coming election.
A certain newspaper influence
appears to be footballing the
parties with the object of post
poning the entry of a democratic
opponent to Mr.. johnson in Cal.
ifornia until such time as MIR

Hauerr last fail, paying 81 600 down.
The balance, $1,000, became due late
last fall, but Rardin could not pay.
hauert declared forfeiture without
rendering the deed for the property.
Rardin sued to recover bis original pay
ment and Judge Smith held for Hauert.
The supreme court however, declared
that forfeiture could not be declared un-
less The deed had been rendered to the
purchaser Of the land la scores Of sim.

the west river country will see a great

according to Mr.. c. I. Brancel who
spent last Sunday in Mcintosh visiting
friends and looking after business mat
ters. Mr. Brancel's work takes him to
all parts Of South Dakota aud points in
Minnesota and he says that he has been
acting as listener for the past few
months and bias come to the conclusion
that many people are going to look for
cheaper land in the spring, and that be
looks for Corson county and the west
river country to get many new settlers
Mr.. BranCel stated that the low price
for farm produce and the high price of
land In the east viii encourage people
to come to this country where they can
buy land at reasonable price. The
west river country offers opportunities
for men with small amount Of capital
and Mr. Brancel says that the farmers
who have tried paying two or three hun.
dred dollars per acre for land are awak-
ening to this fact, and they will be in
this country next spring to buy cheap
