There lies in our waste basket this

agents, offering SLIPS, net, for the inser.
ton of twelve inches of advertisements

Twelve inches il nearly two-thirds of a

such offers - these that make the coun.
try publisher roll in wealth! But a. We

A GOOD THING.

The lecture on Tuesday evening by
the Rev. DIR. Keys was first class. Our
people who failed to hear it missed rare
treat. The Doctor is rich in thought,
elegant in language, graceful and i'm
pressive in delivery. He has vivid
imagination and wonderful power in
the use of figures to illustrate his
thought.
Those who heard him on Tuesday ev-
ening will not soon forget the illustra-
ton with which he closed his lecture
the figure of the shepherds on the Alps
at sunset.
1t is to be regretted that so few of our
people availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity of hearing the distinguished gem
tleman.
The lecturer won the esteem of all
who heard him, and we hope another
such opportunity will be afforded US
some time in the near future. 1t would
be an excellent thing for our community
if we could have regular course of such
lectures provided every season.

AN OLD BUILDING


Probably very few of our present pop
ulation were aware that the old building
Just south of Northrup's store was any.
thing but a frame. In tearing it down
last Monday the fact that the main part
was log cabin was first made known to
many. The cabin was first erected by
Aaron Case, at old Cofachique, and upon
the location of lola, was moved from
that point to where it has ever since
stood. 1t was used as store room and
post-office in the early days of lola, and
afterwards was sided up and plastered
until it made a very respectable frame
building. The logs used in its construc-
ton are as sound as ever. The tearing
down of this building removes another
of our old land marks.

A TOWN HALL.

Why would it not be a good idea fol
our city fathers to talk upa town hall
Arrangements might be made with some
of the parties who intend building this
summer for the city to add another story
and thereby have a good hall without
costing excessively. This is merely a
suggestion for folks to think over and il
some practical plan could be advanced
acted upon. We need good town hall
and believe that something should be
done to secure one. Who has an idea?

o. p. NORTHRUP & Co.'S,

About three o'clock last Saturday
afternoon . small house, located about
one mile east of the squsre-top school
house in Salem township was mysteri-
ously burned. At the time it burned it
was not occupied, nor had it been since
Mr.. Philpot moved out of it, which was
about two weeks ago. A man was seen
on the prairie but short time before the
building was discovered to be on fire
but who he was or where he went to is
not known, neither is it known that he
was in the immediate vicinity of the
house. The house was burned, and that
in broad day light, but how and when it
got a fire is mystery that can't be
solved.-Huusboidt Interstate.

Our Girls.

Girls don't be so foolish You are
made Of flesh and blood. When you
die you will go into decay just like
other people. In all human probabil-
ity you will grow gray and wrinkled
and homely before you die, and the
time is not far off when you will sit
in the corner and -smoke-or some
thing. You ought to know that you
can't get number two shoe on a
number four foot. You act as if you
thought God had made a mistake.
Now just look at that dress 1t
wouldn't do for fy-net and the wind
is blowing a hurricane a buffalo
knows better than to travel without
proper protection. You can't deceive
anybody People know you suffer in
your tight shoes and corsets and with
out proper clothing, and people know
too, your mothers don't force you to
dress in that way. Now do take ad-
vice and loosen up little, just to get
one good long pure breath of air, and
let your foot spread out until it is at
rest. You are not angels, and if you
keep ON in this way it is doubtful if
you will ever be one. You are silly :;
men don't love wasps, and they have
no use for simpering, silly, sauntering,
slip-shod, selfish, groaning women.
Do let your feet and hands and waists
grow. If you think you can get
through this world without muscle
you are deceived. If you can't carry
yourselves some one else must carry
you and no one will be willing to do
this long. lie some men are daily pray
ing for their wives to go to heaven
the short way, it is their own fault.
It does very well to sit with hands
crossed little while, but the interest
in this tableau is lost with a comiug
appetite.
Nothing is so lovely in the world as
a girl-a girl nature-made, with the
vigor and bloom and muscle and brain
and development Of romping, laugh
ing, glowing health, tempered and
toned with purity of thought and
purpose. O, the freedom and joy and
blessing Of girlhood ! No pinched
feet, no crowded lungs, no lace, no
gloves, no hat. Curls flying, feet
Skipping, eyes sparkling, nearG pound
ing, laugh ringing. We can hear it
yet; over the hills, across the mead
ows, out of the woods, on the water.
All, We days Of sunshine with the girls
How the shadows have fallen since
then; and how things have changed
Girls were girls then. They climbed
and ran races and jumped and played
at bat and ball, and were our peers
wading in the brook. In the classes
they stood by our side, quick to learn,
quick to help. Yes, many a problem
we were helped to solve by a romping
girl. Now, she would be called lin
love-" Maybe she was, and maybe he
was too. No matter, those were days
Of purity and progress and growth,
and their perfume floats yet over life s
barren highways and we are glad we
did not live in the days of pinched
waists and feet and gloved hands SO
helpless. God bless our girls Half
the battle is fought when they are in
the ranks. Life is ended when their
football is no longer heard.

The campaign in Ohio, which will
not get under full headway until the
latter part of August, promises to be
exceedingly warm on all sides. Which
ever party carries the state this year
will thereby secure a very important
advantage in the way of prestige and
political capital for the greater cam
paign of next year. The Legislature
now to be elected will choose a United
States Senator to succeed Senator
Thurman. The two great parties are
so nearly balanced that neither is alb
solutely confident of victory, and
neither in the state of despair Either
may win and each is determined to
win. The Greenbackers, though over
whelmingly in the minority and not
expecting to do much more than pick
up an office here and there, for the
most part choose to fight on their own
hook; and precisely how the other two
parties will be affected is an uncertain
question. The strong probability, as
things now look, is that the Republi-
cans will carry the day-elect their
state ticket and secure a majority in
the next legislature If they do that
Will be the end of Senator Thurman
as an ofice-seeker. The Democrats
would hardly think Of nominating him
for the Presidency, and surely a Re-
publican legislature would not re-elect
him to the Senate. The wriggling
Senator, who has been so ready to sac
rifce all his principles at the bidding
of much smaller men, would have to
step down and out. No admirer of
honesty would see any occasion for
regretting the result n. Y. indie

Bucyrus Journal.
The Wonder at BUcyrUS,


child entirely black on one side and white
on the other is a new curiosity at the house of
sas City Times.
When this strange child was born,
for obvious reasons the local papers
forebore to publish the fact. Every
one here who knows Mrs. Kerough
will vOuch for her unquestioned re-
spectability. At a masked ball, in
the winter, a young lady having con-
ceived the fanciful idea of "A face
in black and white" and having az
ranged herself thus, presented the ap-
pearance of well-defined figure, black
as an Ethiopian all down the left side
from hair to shoes, and white as an
Albino on the right side, the division
being clearly marked line dividing
forehead, nose, lips and chin, and even
to the parting of the hair over the
head; the dress of black and white
calico.
Mrs. Kerough, entering her own
sitting room and coming thus sudden
ly upon the young lady who had call
ed to exhibit herself, was so frighten-
ed that she went into commissions, and
for week her hysterical condition
was such that her life was in serious
danger. The unfortunate child is
now no longer novelty, and, equally
unfortunate, it is an exceedingly heal
thy, promising child After six weeks
it has ceased to be a sensation here,
and Mr.. Kerough is arranging to ex-
hibit his child. The doctors think
that the abnormal discoloration of the
right side will eventually fade out;
and Mr.. kerough wisely says, if it is
going to remain the child will have
to be more tenderly cared for than he
is able to provide for it with his linn
tied means, and he will accumulate
what he can to be devoted to the un-
fortunate child's comfort.
