called but a short time ago Tookoolita.
Three years ago she inhabited with the Es-

and which is situated about the sixteth de-

FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST lO.1ss6.
The District Convention.

We have presented some grave reason:
why our present Congressman from this dis
trict, Mr.. Portus Baxter, should not again
receive thel support Of any honest man
Those reasons stand uuchallenged. The on
ly answer to them Is an increased activity on
the part Of the wire-pullers and some Of the
Office holders, in their attempt to pack the
Convention for Mr.. Baxter His tools are
securing the district, hiring the livery stable
teams IN advance, to 20 to the Convention,
and hiring the men who are to ride IN them.
The people may be sure that whoever can be
induced by money or persuasion to 20 20
Hydepark, IN MIR. Baxter's interest, will be
there and those who DO not propose longer
to su NIT TO the rule Of corruption in this
district must make their arrangements ac-
cordinsly Fortunately the men who can be
hired TO 90 such dirty work, with the post
masters and others whose personal aud pc
cuniary interest is involved IN one way CT
another in the return Of the present Incum-

and number Of than have already seen the
handwriting ON the wall. and have become
very lukewarm for Mr.. Baxter. All that is
needed is that the people shall, for once, he

but the farm wagons are not Let the honest .
yeomcn Of the district turn out. for once.
and take :his matter into their own hands.

SOMETHING CoNsoLAToRY ABOUT BED-BUGs.
This is not pOetical subject at all-but
nevertheless one about which there is much
feeling and some sympathy. Many sensitive
housewives will be relieved to learn that Mr..
f. W Putnam. a naturalist, and member Of
the Essex Institute of Salem, in a recent
speech at a meeting of the Institute said
the presence OF bed-bugs must not always be
considered an evidence of a want of cleanli-
ness or of neglect of active efforts to prevent
or expel them They breed as a sort Of par
asite on rabbits. pigeons. bats and some other
animals, and 1t has often been found neces-
sary to extermlnate those animals from some
places before the bcd-bug nuisance could be
abated

now open, TO support the action Of Congress by
such an overwhelming vote at the Fail elections,
