The rank and file of the republi- can party in this state are beginning to speculate as to just what brand of “harmony” the various avowed can- didates for the gubernatiorial nom- ination are desirous of obtaining. Attorney General Young accom- panied his recent announcement with a plea for “harmony,” and it was no sooner made public than there were rumors of heated inter- views wherein the attorney general was called a “traitor,” for having come out with an announcement without having consulted Duan, Jacobson, et al. And there have followed rumors that a half dozen or more prominent repulicans will be out with announcements, a little later—all for “harmony.” While these gentlemen are search- ing for “harmony,” they might do worse than select the Honorble Julius A. Schmahl, the present sec- retary of state, as their standard bearer. Schmahl wears no man’s collar, and he is a “scrapper”— every inch of him.He could put up a red-hot fight for “harmony” or a rough house—and in either case, we will bet dollars to douhgnuts that the sturdy little Teuton from Red- wood county would come out on top of the heap. Schmahl, as a ‘“harmony” candi- date, would fill the bill. OBSERVATIOI [By “Doc"] Son, there are some .people who mistake Greed for Ambition. The modest man is always eager for somebody to say something that will make him blush. A genius has invented a counterfeit dollar that “rings true.” A good many other counterfeits “ring true.” A man who goes away on a trip doesn’t remember much about it except what good things he had to eat. The conduct of Uncle Sam’s jackies continues admirable. Where did Fighting Bob pick up such a lot of cherubs? It is truly unfortunate that we are not told whether or not Methuselah laid by a small sum each day and put it out at compound interest. He was the only man who ever had a chance to try out any of the theories as to saving. If Mr. Sabath can prevent the export of heiresses he will win the gratitude of several aspiring youths of native origin. Let him distin- guish, however, between the lord who pounces on an heiress, and the dukelet who is bagged by that social generalissimo, the heiress’s American mamma, —_— Holding His Job. Michael Callahan, a section boss for the Southern railroad, has a keen Gael- fe wit. One warm afternoon while walking along the railroad tracks he found a section hand placidly sleeping beside the rails. Callahan looked dis- gustedly at the delinquent for a full minute and then remarked: “Slape on, ye lazy spalpeen, slape on, fur as long as you slape you've got a job, but when you wake up you ain't got none.”—Lippincott’s Magazine, A Run of Luck. Ruffilen—Old fellow, you look blue. Are you on the wrong side of the mar- ket? Trumbull-Market be hanged! 1 moved yesterday. The van man broke £5 worth of the furniture, I lost a five pound Bank of England note, the gas company held we up for double the usual deposit, and I've just been sum- moned on a jury.—London Mail. A Choice of Evils. “Your daughter can come to me for her music lessons and can do her prac- ticing at home.” “P'd rather you'd give her her les- sons here at home and have her do her practicing at your rooms.”—Houston Poat. THEIR- SALARIES REDUCED Letter Carriers Get Into Trouble for Soliciting Presents. New York, Feb. 1.—Six New York letter carriers have had their salaries reduced $100 a year for soliciting Christmas and New Year presents. These men, all of whom are on duty in the residence district, left cards of greeting for the people they daily de- liver mail to. Complaints were made to tha postmaster, who, after investi- gating the matter, reduced the grade of the men in question. The postmas- ter has also directed the letter carriers to refrain from the attempt to sell tickets for the coming annual ball of their organization. MORGAN GETS HISTORIC FLAG Buys Emblem That Was Used on Man- of-War Chesapeake. London, Feb. 1.—The flag' of the American man-of-war Chesapeake and the Balaclava bugle, two of the most valuable war relics of a collection of antiquities that belonged to the late T. G. Middlebrook, were secured at the auction sale of the collection for American buyers. The Chesapeake flag goes to J. Pler- pont Morgan, according to report. The Chesapeake flag was captured in the fight with tbe British ship Shannon in 1813. Tramway Falls in Lake. Chicago, Feb. 1.—Two-thirds of a steel tramway extending into Lake Michigan off Jackson park collapsed and fell into the lake. No lives were lost and nobody was injured. The cause of the accident is not known, but it is believed to have been caused by ice driven by a heavy east wind. The loss is about $20,000. Send Convicts to Colonies. Berlin, Feb. 1.—A sectlon of the Conservative party introduced a reso- lution in the reichstag requesting the government to propose a law under which convicts of suitable age and proper physical condition be trans- ferred to the German South Sea isl- ands and compelled to labor. Fleet Nearing the Straits. Cape Virgins, Argentine, Feb. 1.— The fleet of American battleships un- der Rerr Admiral Evans is passing Cape Virgins and advancing slowly toward the straits of Magellan. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Dispatches to Dun’s Trade Review indicate little change in the general trade situation, although financial con- ditions are easy, with rates about nor- mal. Edward Cromwell, aged eighty- seven years, is dead at Denver. Mr. Cromwell's long life was largely de- voted to philanthropic and patriotic work. E Announcement. is made by the Louis- ville and Nashville railroad that it will no longer receive shipments of ilquor into Georgia or Alabama, states which have recently passed prohibi- tion acts. Anna E. Hahn, one of the first Amer- ican schoolteachers to go to the Phil- ippines, was murdered at Batangas, island of Luzon, Jan. 29, according to a dispatch received at the bureau of insular affairs at Washington.

The scramble for seats in the house of commons i8 regulated by certain rules. A member present at prayers has a right to the place he then océu- ples until the rising of the house: Each evening stands absolutely inde- pendent and by itself, and therefore the title to a seat secured by attend- ance at prayer lapses at the termina- tlon of the sitting. On the table in a little box is a supply of small white cards with the words “At prayers” in large 0ld English letters. Obtaining one of these cards and writing hlnq | hame on it under the words “At pray* ers™ the. meniber slips it Into @ Te- ceptacle In the beunch at the Lack of the seat and thus secures the place for the night agalnst ull comers, He may immediately leave the house and remain away as lor he pleases. The place may be oceipled by another member in the meantime, but when- ever the master of the seat, the gen- tleman whose autograph s written on the card in ‘the liftle brass sit, re- turns to the chamber the tewporary occupant of the seat must give place to bim, He Tamed the Princess. William the Congueror when he was only the Duke of Normandy had fallen in love with the Princess Mathilde or Flanders, She was prowd and hanghty and had refused the noble lovers who were anxious to win her hand. The wily Norman studied her character carefully and when he had mapped out his plai of eampnign rode into the town one day when she, at the hiead of a party, was going from church, He sprang frc e by her sile boxed her ears soundly, pulled her off ber stecd, rolled her vigorously fn he mud, fold her that he lo and rode awa The astonished princess was inf ed and swoge N of vengeance.

A Cane In Defense. “If you want to keep off holdup men,” said an old detective to the ob- server, “carry a cane. A holdup man is more afraid of a cane than he is of a revolver. He's deathly afraid that the man carrying it will jab it in his face or eyes or get the end of it in his mouth. On this account they’re just as much afraid of a small light stick as they are of a heavy one. There are 80 many different ways of using a cane that a man doesn’t know just which way to guard against it. And any man can use it. Nine men out of ten who carry revolvers couldn’t hit the side of a barn with them, and the ‘holdups’ know it, but it doesn’t take any skill or practice to learn to slam- bang away with a walking stick.”’— Columbus Dispatch. REPORTS MANY GASES OF RHEUMATISM NOW Says Dread Disease Had Victims Here Who can Find Quick Relief in This. Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of this dread disease, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex.color or rank, be interested to know that while for many years rheuma- tism was considered an incurable disease, now it is one of the easiest afflictions of the human body to conquer. Medical seience has proven it nmot a distinct disease in iiself, but asymptom caused by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood and other waste pro- ducts of the system which should be filtered and strained out in the form of urine. - The functions of the kidneys is to sift these poi- sons and acids out and keep the blood clean and pure— The kid- neys, however, are of a sponge-like substance, the holes or pores of which will sometimes, either from overwork, cold or exposure become clogged and inactive, and failing in their function of eliminating these poisons from the blood, they remain in the veins, decompose and settling about the joints and muscles, cause the untold suffering and pain of rheumatism and back- ache, often producing complica- tions of bladder and urinary dis- easse, weakness, etc. The following simple prescrip- tion is said to. relieve the worst cases of rheumatism because of its direct action upon the blood and kidneys, relieving, too, the most severe forms of urinary and bladd- er troubles: Fluid Extract Dande- lion, one-half -ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by chaking well in .a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each each meal and again at bed- time. The ingredients can be had from any good prescription phar- macy, aud are absolutely harmless and safe to use at any time. & He Know of but One. Many years ago De Scott Evans, tht artlst, took a trip to Jamalca, and upon his returh to New York he ez hibited ‘a number of pictures that hn had painted during his outing. One day a man who had been look- Ing through the studio stopped hefura a certain picture and asked: “What does this represent?” * “That,” said-Mr. Evans, “is a scenn In Jamaica.” “Jamalca?’ echoed the visltor. “That's strange. 1 don't remember ever seeing-anything like that in Ja- maleca.” “You have bLeen there, then, have you?” the artist inquired. “Oh, yes! I live there.” “Well, you surely must be acquaint- ed with this place then. It is a street scene in the principal town of the is- land.” g The man from Jamaica looked at Mr. Evans for a moment as if he thought the latter must be daft. Then he emphatically declared: “I live in Jamaica, and there isn’t a street in the town that bears the re- motest resemblance to that picture.” The mention of Jamaica as a town, cleared away the mist. “I see,” said Mr. Evans, “you live in Jamaica, N. Y., don’t you?” “Yes,” replied the suburbanite. there another Jamaica anywhere?” “lg They Lacked Team Work. There was small respect in Captain Maybury’s mind for the brains of the artists whom he and his wife harbor- ed and fed during the summer. “They are a well meaning lot of folks as ever lived,” he said confidentially to a neighbor, “but when it comes to com- mon sense every last living one of ’em needs a guardeen.” “Act kind o' crazy, I reckon,” said the neighbor. “Well, ’tain’t so much that,” admit- ted Captain Maybury, “as ’tis that they lack gumption and sprawl. “wo of ‘em were talking to me about the ‘sunset, light' last night. ‘We work fast as we can, but we can’t ketch it,’ they told me. ‘It fades so fast, and before you know it the glow is dead.’ “I've got some used to their queer talk, but that did seem plumb foolish. | ‘If two of you can’t ketch it I says; ‘why -in tunket don’t the whole eight of you set to work together, same .as if you had a fence to paint? But if yow’ll believe me, I could tell by their looks they’d never thought of such a thing before. They’re simple, that's what they are.”—Youth's Companion. The Old Time Almanac. “It is astonishing what faith the old school farmer used to put in his al- manac,” said a farmer of the new school, a graduate of an agricultural | college. “My father was an old school farm- er, and in June he would consult his almanac to see if we were going to have a clear Christmas. What though the almanac usually went back on him? Sometimes its predictions were true, and one accurate prophecy coun- terbalanced in my father’s minad fifty miscures. L “Once 1 crossed the ocean with the old man. We sat at the captain’s table, and the first night out my father, lay- ing down his spoon, said anxiously: “‘Captain, hev ye got an almanac on board? . “‘No,’ the captain answered. “The old man frowned and shook his head. “‘Then, by gosh, he said, ‘we’ll jest hev to take the weather as she comes.’ ”—Los Angeles Times. Dickens and His Beard. Frith painted Charles Dickens’ por- trait when the novelist began to grow a beard and told this anecdote of the occasion: “Well, 6ne day when Dickens was sltting the servant came up to tell me Sir Edwin Landseer was below. Dick- ens said, ‘Let’s have him up; he hasn’t seen my beard and mustache yet” Charles Landseer and Edwin had been abroad for some time together in Italy, and they hadn’t all met. for months. Edwin came up and took no notice of the beard, and at last Dickens said: ‘Well, Lanny, what about all this? D’you like it? Think it's an improve- ment? ‘Oh, a great improvement,’ Landseer saild quite gravely. ‘It hides so much of your face’ Dickens wasn't the least offended. He'd let ‘Lanny’ say anything.”’ All Were Prime Ministers. An eminent surgeon was once sent for by Cardinal Du Bois, prime min- ister of France, to perform a very serious operation upon him. The car- dinal said to him, “You must not ex- pect to treat me in the same rough manner as you treat your poor, miser- able wretches at your Hotel Dieu.” “My lord,” replied the surgeon, with great dignity, “every one of those mis- erable wretches, as your eminence is pleased to call them, is a prime min- ister in my eyes.”—Success Magazine. Down In the Depths. The mermaid was rummaging the sunken ship. “T want to see if I can find one of those hand mirrors the comic papers always picture us as using,” she said. For vanity, alas, is not confined to that comparatively insignificant por- tion ‘of the earth’s surface known as dry land.—Chicago Tribune.

The Statue of Liberty. “] wonder if local mariners appre-| ciate the optical illusion which the statue of Liberty presents to a man arriving In this port for the first time,” sald the skipper of an East Indian tramp, who a few days before had en- tered New York harbor upon his first voyage here. “I saw the statue be- fore I got to the Narrows, and It seem- ed as if it were just about where quarantine is. Later the thing seem- ed about abeam of the Kill von Kull.

Priest’s Orders. An actor named Priest was playing at one of the principal theaters in Lon- don. Some one remarked at the Gar- rick club that there were a great many men in the pit every evening. “Probably clerks who have taken Priest’s orders,” said Mr. Poole, one of the best punsters as well as one of the cleverest comic satirists of the day. —London Telegraph.
