Judito Miller entered into a long
review of. the cbso, 1I arraigned
Coxey sovorely. There was no politics
in the ease ! no nrosecution of Coxey
for his ideas. Coxey must conlino bin
methods of salvation to the law of the
land. It was it matter of congratula
tion that only 300 or 4X) men re
sponded to his call to march on Wash
ington, and the court added :
"I think (4od the working peopb
or tho suffering peoplo did not rc
spond." -
Cxev bad proposed to bring 100,
(x) nodule to WiiMhiiiKton to set an
example bv breaking a law.
"Who in the world should be pun
foiled fur violation of tho law if you
lirmhl not. Mr. Coxov?" he linked.
"I did not violate the law," said
Cmrnv..
"You have your bead so full of your
Kchemea ihut'vou think anything that
stands in your way ia wrong," said tho
imlirii "What ritrht of yours tins DPen
ubi idaed in the District of Columbia?'
Juik'o Miller then referred t Coxey's
"absolute folly," arraigned him as a
"dreamer," an 1 sma :
"I (In not know of any coso wher
I 1,1 I'MIII't. would be more inalilied ii

The effect of this deeiHion will no

The nomination of W. N. Meserve by the
lebabUoans ot Columbia county to fill the
office of county surveyor commends itself to
every resident und voter of the county for
Its thorough propriety..; Not only is Mr.
Meserve an expert surveyor aim uraiigiiin
niuii.'hiit he is us well thoroughly conver-
sanfrwith all the minute details necessary
to properly discharge the duties of this .m-iioi-latit
office. The skill he has attained In
Ills profession Is the fruits of his early train
ing In the best schools, and his many vears'
experience In the practical work. Mr. ,
Meserve was born la Cincinnati, wmo,
March 4, 1S07, where his father, Dr. J. W,
Meserve, occupied a prominent position in
medical circles. At the age of four years,
young Meserve removed with his parents
to Nebraska, where he remained until tne
car 1884; then taking Horace Oreeley s
advice "Went west to grow up witn tue
country." and at the age of seventeen years
cast his lot with the pioneers of Columbia
county. Mr. Meserve has idcntilled Him
self as a thorough wide-awake business
man , and a worker in every sense of the
word. Believing Columbia county pos
sessed within her boundaries natural ,ma
teriul wealth that would in Hie near future
make her one ol the most prosperous and
richest counties in the state, with prudent
foresight Invested his earnings in well se
lected timber lunds and other valuable
property, and today stands among the first
taxpayers of the county. Air. Meserve
from 1887 to 1883 ixicupied a position as nrst-
grade teacher in our public schools, and
wus later a member of the county boara i
education. In 18U1 he was appointed deputy
county surveyor, and has faithful. y per
formed the duties ol that olllcc to the pres
ent time. Iu his surveys he has been just
to all and partial to none. In fact his motto
seems to have been, "Hew to the line and
let the chips full where they may." As
(lunation land surveyor he stuuds among
the first. Citizens will further their own
interests by entrusting the duties of this
olllco to so competent a candidate, as the
work already done by him guarantees
further accuracy and satisfaction.
