Mr. Angus Leek was elected Chairman
Of the meeting last night and Mr. Charles
Frank Secretary. The whole affair was
gotten up and managed by the young
Democrats of the city and they covered
themselves all over with glory, though it
was their first effort in campaign work.
Their efforts received due recognition from
thn orator Of the eyenipu
The Iowa prohibitory liquor law went
into effect on Thursday last at midnight,
and it was supposed that the liquor traffic
wholesale and retail-would at once
cease in that state. Not so, however
Saloons and wholesale liquor houses are
open and the traffic carried on the same as
if the prohibitory law had never been
enacted. The saloon men, it is announced,
have determined to pay no attention to the
law, and have combind to render it inoper-
erative. II is the old story over again
Prohibition don't prohibit.
Over one hundred and fifty nebula
which have escaped the vision of previous
astronomers have recently been discovered
by DR.. Lewis Swift, Director of the War
ner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y. One of
these is of a peculiar nature, and seems to
be undergoing wonderful change. DR..
Swift desires to thoroughly investigate the
great meteor which appeared on the night |
of July Sd, and for this purpose requests
all who saw it TO communicate to him at the
Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y, i'm
mediately, giving the direction of view,
motion, color, etc.
1t is we'll enough to advise everybody |
to set out shade trees, but these trees must |
have tree-boxes. AS soon as q tree box is |
put up and nicely painted, the awful small |
boy begins on it. He not only plays hide
and seek with it, giving it yank every
time he lodges about it, but in bis quieter
moments be fires at it with the broken rock
furnished him by the city, or bangs it with
his baseball bat, or digs hole in it with
his knife, or marks it with red chalk, or
white chalk, or charcoal An ugly tree box
is about an unsightly an object as can be
imagined, and nobody wants none. Hence,
the man who sets out shade trees is good |
citizen, but he will never be mistaken for
a statesman.
The Chester Tribune Republican, tina.
"what Democratic papers have to say re.
garding Mr.. Albright's candidacy for Con
gress, although there is much buucomb |
and bombast about still contains much
truth, after all. Albright is active and 40.
gressive, young, bold and full of energy
and grit. The district has Republican
majority of about 1900; and there is no
dlsputing the fact that Mr.. Thomas ia not
| popular among a certain class of his own
people good and vigilaut work must be
done for him. On the other hand Albright
cannot poll his full party vote. The chan
ces are all in Mr.. Thomas favor, and he
can be elected by decided msiority-thst
is If his friends 90 to work at once and
whoop up the boom for him. Albright
will work hard, with great deal of as,is-
lance and it behooves Mr.. Thomas to prose-
cute vigorous canvass all along the line.'
Here is "a pointer for the old yeter-
ans: The action of the Democratic Nat
ional Convention with reference 10 the
union veterans who asked for admission TO
the hall, was in very marked contrast to
that of the Republican Convention in the
same matter mont before. The Repub-
lican Convention Internationally refused to
admit the several hundred "Old Vets" who
had gathered there to witness the proceed
ings. But the Democratic Convention adont-
ed unanimously a resolution that hsdl been
written by Judge W. H. Green, of this city,
and handed to "Our Carter" who offered il
