It was very thoughtful in the politi
cal corpse to have the minister to the
primary lust Thursday and say the last
few words of comfort liefon; the cold,
clammy votes buried it out of sight.

which would put about HO lu res of bis

It is said that tin political corpse is
utill trying to liuru out how it was
that when it bad seven fellows solid at
the primary last Thursday only five
Voles appeared for it when the ballots
were counted.

A large number of pcple galliered
at the Helmut house at Uodaiv last Sun

deliverwl and an organization made with
fourteen irteinbers and there were several
who intended to join but were prev. -tiled
by sickness. Steps aro being taken to
erect a church building at once, all the
lumber necessary having been subscrib
d. When the building is completed J)r.
Hextoti expi ts to return to dedicate it.
Steps are tjeiiig taken to isue bonds
of tlm village to lake up to" flouting
tlebU and put tbe town mi a firm
linancial basis. Such nn ai:tioii will be a
great deal belter than to allow the credit
of tbe place to become so impaired that
no ono will want to buy or carry its
Warrants. Already there are some
judgements against the corporation and
the interest on the bonds w ill lie no
KivAlcr, if us great, as it is on warrants

It was no ring convention.
E. J. Wilcox made a good chairman1
It was hard to li net men who could
spare the time to go to conventions as
delegates.
In Henry Covey the party has a chair
man of honesty, energy and ability.
The republican party will have no
county ticket in Sioux county this fall.
There was an attempt made to get the
political corpse on the state delegation,
but it proved a dismal failure.
The only ritle in the deliberations of
the convention was caused by John W.
Hunter, of Bodarc precinct. For years
he has manipulated the primaries of that
prcciii'jt so that hu has come to the con
vents as a delegate ami by his actions
has lost more votes to the republican
party than be even made lor it. The re
publicans of Ins precinct decided to make
a change and at the primary J. C. Eber
sjweher and L. ('. l'liilhps were elected
delegates to the county convention.
The latter could not attend so Hunter
llxed up credentials for Eberspecher anil
himself. The Vouimittuo investigated
the matter and discovered the crooked
w ork and did uot report to admit Hunter.
That individual then attempted to bull
doze the chairman and tho convention,
becoming profane and vulgar although
repeatedly requested to come to order.
It linally ecamu necessary for Slienlf
Dew to inform him that he had gone far
enouyh, and Hunter left the hull fol
lowed by the applause of the convention.
IUer hu returned and announced that he
was no longer a republican and demanded
that his name be stricken from the roll
of republicans. For that the republican
uartv can congratulate itself. And the
convention is ciiLjtled to the thanks of
all honest republicans lor saying by their
unanimous vote that crooked primary
work will not be upheld by the republi
cans of Sioux county.
A tnun load of Ilia troops which
were taken west recently passed through
