Vote the republican ticket straight , give them all the leverage possible. Minden Courier. Why should the republicans find so much fault with Hearst ? He is the very kind of a man they insist ed , four and eight years ago , we needed for president. He is a first class business man and is able to manage successfully large and in tricate business enterprises. His immense wealth ought to be , to them , his best recommendation. They are charging that he is using cold and clammy cash to buy sup port , but Lord ! a good republican ought not to object to that , as only the other day , in congress , Dazell , a national republican leader , ad mitted that the republicans , in 1S96 , had bought the support of lloorke Cochran for McKinley ; if it was right then why should it be wrong now ? Teddy marched up San Juan hill , so did Hearst. Teddy is one of the blue bloods , so is Hearst. Teddy is rich , so is Hearst. Teddy is a college gradu ate , so is Hearst. Teddy is a man in the vigor of well natured man hood , so is Hearst. Teddy believes in doing things , so does Hearst and he does them too. Say my dear republican friends what is the matter with Hearst ? Wahoo Democrat. Shooting : tlie GJ-aloots. That popular hoodlum sport known as charivari recevied a check mate at Williamsport , Pa. , the other day that is worthy of note. A bridegroom's house was sur rounded by a yelling mob , which finally swarmed up on the roof of his modest dwelling singing dis- cordent tunes with great gusto. At length the groom wearied of the situation and , with the remark that it was about time to pass the refreshments , took down a shot gun , loaded it with pppcorn , and fired on the marauders. They scampered ; their songs of revel changed to cries of pain , but the bridegroom was not satisfied. He made the coterie of hoodlums take up a collection , which he claimed was damages for rough usage of the roof of his house , and , the money having been paid over , the party adjourned. This is one way of shooting civ ilization into benighted hoodlums. World-Harald. More Lpcal. - W. P. Davis , of Georgia , Neb. , ' died ] May 25,1904 , at the age of 81 years.
