ing constructed, one hundred and twenty
feet wide and foot thick. About three
hundred and fifty feet have already been
finished and it is thought that next Mon
day rock will be received and the work of
sinking commenced. The mattress will
be one continuous layer of brush three or
four thousand feet long, and will be sunk
as it is constructed. The brush used in
the mattress is taken from the tow head
about half mile above. People will find 1t
worth their while to 60 and see what char
acter Of work is being done to overpower
the mighty Mississippi, and how easily it is
done is you only know how
Justice Osborne returned some days
ago from Hllsdale, Mich, where he had
spent some time with relatives. He says
the people there are unusually interested in
the political situation and if Hillsdale is
any criterion for the state at large, Michi-
gan will 90 Democratic by an overwhelm-
Ing majority. Hillsdale is town Of prob.
ably 1000 inhabitants, and there are be-
tween fifteen and twenty Democratic flag
poles up, and more coming, and the enthu-
siasm of the people cor tinues and spreads.
And this Democratic uprising is not among
Democrats alone, but among Republicans
as well, who are joining the Democrats by
scores. Mr.. Osborn's brother and his three
sons, all Of voting age, who had been Re-
publicans nearly all their lives, have all
changed and will support Cleveland and
Hendricks.
The "melon.cholic" days have come,
when every fellow who gets up early in
the morning shivers with the cold and
wishes he had ordered his winter supply Of
fuel. The evenings and mornings are quite
cool, but not unpleasant for the man who
has fail overcoat In the night when the
tired business man "wraps the drapery of
his couch about him and lies down TO pleas
ant Dreams" an extra coverlet is not :aken
amiss. IT'S then that the festive mosquito
begins his evening serenade and before he
gets through presents his bill for services
"there is no rose without thorn"
and there is not pleasant night, without
, mosquito. Apparently the gay mosquito
anticipates the coming frosts and is "get-
ing in his work. with energy before his
musical career is cut short. He certainly
is more energetic and has more capacity for
gore" than at any other season of the
year. But with the end of the campaign
md the Republican party the mosquito
will also 60. We bespeak him gladstone
farewell, When he goes where there are no
"bloody shirts" and no Bob Thom.sss to |
wave them.
We have received from R. A. Saalfeld,
publisher, New York, the following new
songs:
"Wi th Cleveland we will Win the Day." |
a veritable "Tippecane and Tyler too" mel
ody, by j. P. Sicily, which should C AIRY
the New York Governor to the White
House.
"Clevelsnd and Hen bricks Grand Victo-
y March," BY ]. ]. Freeman. The music
5 very pleasing and taking.
"You ask me to Forgive the Past" by Ed.
Greene, a very taking little sentimental bal
ad, full of melody.
"Better Luck Tomorrow" by Henry
Martin. A new motto song, full of hope
good cheer and downright sensible thought.
"Amaturio Waltzes," by Frank Conway.
A set of wsltzes by no means new, but for
he first time brought to notice in these
columns. When the publishers claim over
100000 copies have been printed, and that
he demand is steadily increasing, it goes
Without saying that the waltzes are very
good. In fact the movements are more
han ordinarily pretty, and the melodies
'ery catching.
The above pieces retail at music stores
or from 30 to so cents each The five
would cost $40. The publisher, however,
'ffers to send the lot post free on receipt of
Fl.00. II wanted address R. A. Saalfeld,
