O'Kelly, whom Astro and a fair partner attempted to "fleece"' on the "lost daughter" stunt in San Francisco, spent Sunday Iiere looking after" business. He arrived on the M. P. Plant yesterday and re turned to San Francisco today, being under bond to appear at the arraign ment of Astro and his pal in San 3?ranclsco, December 20. Capt. O'Kelly took the joshing to which he was subjected here good na turedly, merely telling the "joshers" -to wait a while and seo the finish "before talking too much. Capt. O'Kelly confirmed the stories in the San Francisco papers of the affair and is inclined to bo easy on -the "woman In the case" but "he is de termined to make Astro sweat blood lor the game he tried to work on him. "While Capt. O'Kelly eould not be seen personally, friends who convers ed with him stated that a brother of JVstro's had come to San Francisco and is endeavoring to do everything Jn his power to settle the case. It is intimated that the brother has offered to recompense Capt. O'Kelly very liberally for his time, trouble and in jured feelings If he will drop the pro secution. Astro has been making "bis money in San Francisco and the Nevada brother Is reputed to be wealthy and it now appears that instead of C3p't. O'Kelly being "fleeced," he maj1 be liberally repaid for his ""sight sbe'fhg tour." ' Tl"t,y.l "". NORTH BEND NEWS .- Mrs. Byron Hopson of Ross Inlet, spent yesterday with relatives ' at North Bend.

Thp alignment may be said to bo L. J. Simpson and his friends on one side and the others including Djin Shannon on the other side. A few months ago, Mr. Simp son resigned tho office of mayor, giv ing as his reason that ho expected to be awayfrom North Bond too much to longer serve In that capacity. Be fore the date of tho nominating con vention, his business matters so shaped themselves that he found It unnecessary for him to go away as ho had expected to do so, he yielded to the request of his friends and be came a candidate for re-election. This has been mentioned in argu ment against him but without effect. Some of the opposition to Mr. Simp son finds expression in the phrase, "A one-man town." Mr. Simpson's friends point out the fact that Mr. Simpson has made North Bend what It Is and his business position is such that he can ln great' measure dictate its future whether he is elected mayor or not, and that he will be mo're likely to use his influence for tho building up and betterment of North Bend If tho people copperate with him and show a spirit of ap preciation than he will If they vll II fy him and turn him down. The heat manifested in this cam paign seems to be generated in the tabernacle where tho revival meet ings havo been devoted largely to politics on the destructive side. The attacks which have been persistent ly made in those meetings on Mr. Simpson have been carried on re cently by means of dodgers distribut ed every afternoon about town. These have bore no signatures and are said on good authority to be in violation of the statutes, and the au thor or authors subject to criminal prosecutlop. These extravagant at tacks and questionable methods have caused Mr. vSlmpson's friends to ral ly to his support and have alsb been the means of deciding many votes in his favor which otherwise would have gone to the other side. , The basis for the personal attack which has been made on Mr. Simp-j son, seems to be that under his earlier administration the town was ....w ., U n m. ".UV WA-WH lUHIlj UllilUUglll that was not the cusp, dnrlnc his m- I cent administration. The town seems to have outgrown the wide open sentiment and is not likely to ever roturn to It as all the candidates now stand pledged to enforce exist ing laws regulating saloons.

Isaac B. Thatcher, an Iowa war veteran who formerly resided at Farmington In Van Buren county, buf. who Is now a clerk ln tho pension office here, has just returned from Easton, Pa., where he visited another Isaac B. Thatcher, whose life history shows a remarkable series of coinci- cfomlng in on tho same train that carried me to Easton. As I left the train the thought ocqurred to me that, although Mr. Thatcher had promised to meet me, I probably would miss him and have to go to his home alone. Just as I reached the platform, however, I saw him. How did I know it was the man I had come to see? It is beyond me to tell that. I stenned. over to where he was standing and we both stretched out our hands and said: " 'Hello, Isaac B. Thatcher. Each of us had known tho other at once.
