I do not fraud, and,/ insure such result, it is evident to me.that I am counted out by such suitable methods &s the modem ward politican/ from long experience and skill, finds effective and avaible. This situation, which is 1 bad enough, was not alone sufficient to deter me frpm being a candidate but •when the machine, as if not satisfied ' with this advantage', and the presfc- . age of an appointment of their candi­ date by the Governor, "went farther 1and, procured the Judicial Committee to order delegates elected, and authorized the Executive Commit- * tee, of jWhich their candidate is chair­ man, to gerrymander the county for that" purpose,' thus providing for a "divided delegation and furnish an „ excuse forDr. Itowes to come to their , relief, there was reason for believing ’ that all this meant something. It looked as if by"concerted move­ ment, the Xenia “gang,” and the Dayton “gang,” with ‘the Judicial .Committee, which is but a creature of file ^gangs,” had figured a “sure thing.” The Old way which -hasnot been departed from for thirty years; . in the selection of a Judge from this loose sighbof the faCttluitDr. Lowes may not carry this threat into effect, but I cannot ignore the possibility, if not the probability that ho may. And when I take into' consideration all the oorroborating^circumstauces, many more than t ca‘n mention in this card I believe he will do just what he says ho'Will The expense of a canvass .agaiiiBt such a combination would be a con­ siderable sum to bet against “another fellow’s game.” The Scheme has been and is, to shut me out, to side track me, and I think'they *have, from a political standpoint, artistically and skillfully 'accomplished this result, to which they can “piinfc with pride,” and ■which I must “view with alarm.” ,We have been accustomed to think that the majority of the votes of the people elect, which I am assured I could get, but that will not avail me for it must be remembered that it is amajority of the delegates thatnmni- nate, and in .this convention there would be but eleven delegates elected against sixty-six 'appointed by my political emenies.

This situation confronting me, I concluded it wits to my friends to make all the investigation I could on the subject. For this purpose, I went to Dayton And made some investigation, but soon found that no one knew what “Dock” was going to do. Idid not expect him to give any information on which I could jrely, but thought after a talk with him ! might be able to make up my mind- I saw him.j and in substance he said this: “/ the sfcreni uous-elfortio support.

If you were-to elect men "Who would not transfer their political power, with which yon entrust them/toseme boss then tlm source of the “bosses”, power would be cut off, and like Sampson of old, he would become like unto, other men—shorn of his powe'r.

In helping a horse up pull his front fept out and help him to jdutige forward. In the address of 1.aster Morris of the X. Y. State Grange occurs this except: “The cultivators of the soil are the most valuable citizens. They are'the most vigorous, the most- in-, dependent, the most virtuous and are tied to their country and its lib­ erty .by the most lasting bonds. ” Sometimes farmers get it into their heads that they can carry on three or fourkinds of business at’the same time, on the same ‘farm. Takes a pretty strong" man to do this, and thousands have found this’ out only when their pocketbooks were 'empty and their health and strength gone. Every farmer should b« shy of the stove men who are all the times fcrav- veling about the county. They charge twice as much as their stoves are worth. ,Not one farmer out of a doz­ en but regrets his purchase, if he should he wheedled into buying /one of the stove. Tlio best way is, to buy of men at home who are respon­ sible.*.

You can elect them. Let me ask you to do it. Be sure you are not deceived into voting for a “gang, -man.” Let us have clean polities, as nearly as such a thing is possible, so that all persons in the future can have an evon chance before the po.ople at the elections.

The Herald comes to us eVeryweek with many interesting bits of news, and I feel that we owe it something in return. Wo ate always glad to know that the College boys won a basket ball game from Clifton, and thafcHarry Iliffe bad a “son” stroke, especially as it didn’t prove fatal. Superior, as the most of you know is situated in tho north western cor­ ner of Wisconsin, bn the shores of Lake Superior and just across the St. Louis river from Duluth, These two cities are at thh. head of lake navigation and consequently have large elevators for the loading of tho grain oh the boats, latge docks where the iron ore of this region is loaded on die boats and large coal docks where the coal from Penh, and Ohio is unloaded to he shipped to points farther west. Consequently there is a'great; deal of business done here, but not so much as was anticipated for the city a few years’ago. The city was started in 1856 when the first’se^tlers built their log cabins within tho'present city limits. From then until 1800 the city had a slow growth. About that year a boom was started, a. great, many eastern capitalists’ came, out here and invest­ ed their money, all the surrounding (erritoywas taken into the city limits and everybody expected the city to rivahphicago in a very short time, This lasted for two nr three years and suddenly the .bottom dropped out of ev •’V tiring. As many of the capitalists had money lefbwent (melt east, sadder and -let us hope wiser men. Those that had their money invested and couldn’t get away stayed and tried to malto the best of it, andmany of them are still waiting for anotherboom, when they hope to get back wiiafc they lost, *The city now is in a better condition probably than it Inis 'ever been and is having a slow but steady gr owlh. The country around Superior is very poorly settled. The lumber has been taken off the land but very little of itluis ever been cleared for farm­ ing, m u ll believe that this land offers an excellentopportunity to the young men, who are willing to work and to endure the privation of front­ ier life ., Out from the city twenty miles one can find log cabins and people clearing the land}Llvingpretty much as they lived in Ohio a century: ago. The land can he. bought for from five to ten dollars an aero, and when cleared will make excellent farm land for potatoes and the' moro hardy 'grains berries and many kinds- of fruit grow in abundance here, ■ The climate of course is colder than It is in Oirio. As a general thing show begins1 to- fall about Thanks­ giving, and .lasts until the first of April. This year Is an' exception as the snow is nearly all gone now. Lust winter v e had itas cold as forty degrees below zero but this* winter has been milder, thirty degrees below being the coldest. Butin spite of the cold wo enjoy the winters here with­ out rain and mud. Now if anybody around Cedarville would like to take advantage of the cheap farmlands up here I will be glad to give them any otherinforma- tiOh that is in my power. <The land is belngsettled mostly by Swedes and Norwegians. t The schools hero are in excellent condition, easily on apar with those In older states.

The threo former took the freight train but of town and the authorities telephoned South Charleston and London to arrest tho trio and held until an officer could arrive, The boys were not located until London was reached and when approached by the officers started out across the fields in a dead run The officers and sheriff gave a hot persuit and landed the two Bakers about four miles from London, Rob­ inson was to fast on his feet and air. rived home before an officer-couldgo after jthe Baker brothers. Alilton and John Price later hi the night Jbad some misunderstanding about some money matters and Offi­ cer Kennon placed them under ar- ro.st, jf , Monday morning Mayor AlcFar- land assessed Price $5 and costs, Alilton, $10 and costs, Job Bak0i*, $50, costs and 00 days, and James Baker, $25, costs and 30days.

Custislms taken charge the Jamestown post office. of John Stoner 1ms brought suit in Common Pleas Court against Thom­ as A., Arthur for damages and to re­ cover $400paid to the defendant. Stoner says that on October 17, 1901, bo entered into a written con­ tract with Arthur for thepurchase of 140 acres of land in Cedarville town- ship,- in consideration o f the sum of $85 an acre,’ The sum of $400 was -paid at the time of the execution of the coutract, $5,000 was lb be paid January 1, 1905, and tlio residue at the,delivery of the deed. AEr. Stoner says, the defendant lias failed to car­ ry out his contract for the delivery of the-kuid, bub. retained tiie $400, Tho plaintiff says that the premises are worth $10more an acre than the contract price by reason of which failure to comply with -the contract has damaged Stoner to the amount of.$i,388. ‘ ' ’He further says that lie had $11,000 in readiness to pay. to. the defendant and that hewas deprived of $110 in­ terest on that sum. In addition he had gone to expense to arrange for moving to the property and equipp­ ing same, including $75 in attorney fees and seeks judgment altogether for. $2,468. It seems that there is a mortgage lien of $2,000 on-the premises, Which Was unknown to the plaiutiff, and which is still uncanceled, by reason of which the defendant ’cannot con­ vey the properly free of Incumbr­ ance.—Press Republic. ’ SNAPSHOTSCENE INTDEARCTICS.

The above illustration is furm'sbed the Herald by “The Superior Tele­ gram” through the-kindness of Prof. J. R, Harper, who-has a position in the public schools in that city. Prof. Harper states in a letter to the Edi­ tor that the article-credits him with having taken the photograph when it should have been Mrs. Harper. We quote the article as it appeare in the “Telegram,” "The accompanying cutfrom aphoto lalcenby a Superior pedagogue, is from a view such as is seldom pre­ sented to the amateur photographer. It is interesting not 'only on account Of the subject but on account.of tiie circumstances underwhich the artist took the picture. Icebergs and the ‘midnight sun” are usually classed together by the geographer but al­ though the picture from which this Cut wasmade whs taken-at ari hour (veil along toward midnight it was not sunlight that made the impres­ sion on tho sensitive,' plate of the’ earners. The “snap shot” was the result of an exposure of half an hour and it was in the clear moonlight. To the student of the land o f. the Eskimo the picture Will have quite a familiar nppftrance. His imagination can easily picture the Lieutenant Peary expedition to the north pole, can see the great icebergs looming up, perhaps a hundred feet high, far above the masts of the ship, and can almost see. the anxious faces of the brave crew with the good ship’s forlorn exterior. Blit that would be only imagina­ tion, for tlm natty little craft in the • picture is not a “really truly” ship at all. And what appears to bo open sea in tiie picture is not “really tru­ ly” water. It is ice and the ship is a mirage, as it were—-on even less than that, fpr it is the work of an engineer who operated tiie photograph. The view here presented is to be seen any day .or evening and especi­ ally the latter while the moon is »bw in Its glory just across from the East End onthe lake shore. Before the • lake frpze early this month the act­ ion of the water piled upan immense, ice field along,thp point, the outer edge being the highest point and al­ ways increasing in height. The lee field thus formed extends a few hun­ dred feet from the shore where the vast hummocks have a rugged and picturesque appearance some peaks. .rising to a height of from 25 to 30 feet sheer from the water level out- - side. AH the lake is now-frozen far- out, people can Venture out beyond the Icebergs and get a fine view of the wall of ice which has only been increased in size and ruggedness by ' the onslaughts of the angry waters' of Lake Superior.
