THE IMOXJSS, 1009 O St. fering with his canvass. He seems to be popular notwithstanding. He Is a business man of wide experience and -would be a safe man to put in the office of auditor. The fight for the republican nomina tion for county treasurer is becoming interesting. Mayor Graham has dissi pated all doubts as to the genuineness of his candidacy. It Is apparent that he has gone into the race to win. and this fact Is causing the other cand dates to exhibit a greater activity. It is pretty well settled that Aaron Buckstaff will be the only candidate in the Fourth ward and some of the politicians of that ward figure that the Fourth ward candidate will be in a good position to get the nomination in case there is any thing like a deadlock between Graham and Sullivan, who are Just now con ceded to be the leading candidates. In the Fifth ward the fight is between Manley and Kimmel. Both are mak ing an active canvass of the ward. The indications at the present time are that Kimmel will carry the ward. In the Fifth ward are some persons wno say Kimmel will be the next county treasurer. It is asserted that Roche will not be a candidate, and Major Pierce is not considered as in the race. Mr. Sullivan maintains a serene ex terior and gives it out confidentially that he will be nominated. The bank ers and other persons who are particu larly interested in the county treas urer's office appear to be well satisfied with the way In which he is managing the affairs of the office and he has strong backing In his candidacy. The republican primaries In Douglas county will be held next Thursday. Three weeks ago it looked as if Broatch would carry the county, but things have changed materially In the past week or two. Attorney - General Churchill, "Jack" MacColl and some of the minor candidates for state offices in Douglas county have Joined forces and things begin to look a little squally for Broatch. The talk against the combination, MacColl. McNlsh and Moore, continues n A-A-r lov rin tnprA fcts to grow uuub - " ;h is a very general icchus -.. -combination candidates will be defeat ed. Shrewd figurers in this city say that neither MacColl nor McNlsh can be nominated. Many people believe the fight for treasurer is between Charley Casey and George Brooks, with Jewett still in the running. All over the state there is a remarkable enthusiasm for Meiklejohn for governor, and he is un questionably In the lead. It is noticed that a very marked Meiklejohn senti ment manifests itself in every county vlslted by this candidate. Back of Mei klejohn there is a real enthusiasm that Is constantly growing. Republicans who are tired of "Jacks" and deals and combinations are turning to Meikle john as a clean man who is running on his merits. Interest that would otherwise attach to the candidacy of Eugene Moore for governor is withdrawn owing to the conviction that he Is merely running in the interest of the "Jack" candidate. The candidate for governor on the republican ticket this year must be a man who can stand up and box, if nec essary, as well as shake hands. Give us a man who is deep enough in his sentiments to feel stirring within him the sentiments of republicanism. He should know what republicanism is and what it oneans. He should not only know It. but he should feel It. and he should not only know It and feel it. but he should be able to stand before the people and tell what he knows and what he feels, so as to impress his convic tions upon others. No man Is fit to be governor of a state who Is not strong enough In his mind force to have strong convictions on-public affairs and to im press those convictions on others. Good fellows are all right in their way as hand shakers and Joshers. but the pub lic weal demands high grade men for high grade positions. Give us candi dates this year whose nomination will not be tainted with the odor of pre. vious manipulation. Sterling Sun. Mayor Graham Is quoted by an after noon paper as saying that while at first he looked upon the idea of his being a candidate for county treasurer as a Joke he has finally decided 'to enter the race. The mayor said: "I would rather hold an office with less executive and politi cal responsibility." The idea may occur to some people that His Honor lightly regards the re sponsibilities of the office that drove Cobb to the grave. BISHOP OF SALISBURY'S RIDDLE. I sit alone on the rock when I'm raising j tne wina. But the storm once abated, I'm gentle and kind. I have kings at my feet, who await but my nod To kneel down in the dust on which I once trod. Though seen by the world I am known to but few; The Gentiles detest me; I'm pork to the Jew. I never "have spent but one night in the dark. And that, was with Noah, alone In the ark. My weight is three pounds; my length is a mile; And when I'm discovered you will think with a smile. My first and my last are the best In our isle. "Will some reader of the Courier "dis cover" this remarkable being or thing? Announcements "Sam'l of Posen." This successful comedy will be given at the Funke opera house on Friday and Saturday, and Saturday matinee. May- 22 and 23, with the original Sam'l. Mr. M. B. Curtlss, supported by Miss Albina de Mer, who has always shared the hon ors with Mr. Curtlss in her old role of Celeste, the adventuress. They will be accompanied by an exceptionally strong cast. "Sam'l of Posen," "der most Innocent man on der roadt, Re becca," to quote Mr. M. B. Curtlss, Is a comedy calculated to display the pe culiar talents of Mr. Curtlss in imper sonating the drummer. That Mr. Cur tlss is head and shoulders way beyond other actors of similar character on the stage, it only requires a few min utes observation to convince one. His comical walk across the stage is half the battle, while his plausible manner and audaciously conceived and boldly carried out explanation, would weana man from a twelve months' worry. Seats go on sale this morning at 9 a. m.. at Dunn's drug store. Regular prices, 23, 50, 75 cents and JL Christopher Colt, sr.. a self-made millionaire, has a son, Christopher, jr., of whom he wants to make a gentle man. Christopher. Jr., inherits the mercantile Instinct, but makes no figure in the civil service examinations. He has acquired expensive habits, debts, and the paternal anger and, what is worse, he has accidentally ac quired a wife. This was the result of an adventure on shipboard. He was on the way to Trinidad to accept a government position, and accidentally slept for a couple of hours in the state room of a young girl. He got there by mistake and got out without the young girl being any the wiser. But her mili tary papa catches him In his retreat and forces him to marry the daughter, or die. He marries without seeing the bride, who is in the next room, and signs the contract. By accident he gives the angry father the car of a friend instead of his own and that be ing done, he adds to it by signing the friend's name to the contract. In the play, which opens" three years after these circumstances, the hero and heroine meet, and do not know each other. She had never seen him and his name is strange. He does not know her face and her name has been changed because, when her father died she as sumed the name of her uncle. They fall in love, and the complications thicken. The appearance of Mr. John Drew and his admirable company will be seen on Monday, June 1, at the Lansing theatre.
