The Hon. Q. L. HOgg, the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress, opened
the campaign at our Court House
on last Monday. He showed him.
self to be pretty well versed in the
political questions Of the day, and
made a good speech which was well
received BY all who heard il. He
takes the Democratic view upon
the financial questions and is sound
upon the tariff, favoring q just re-
vision and reducing the revenues
Of the country to that extent 20
that no more taxes will he collect ed
than is necessary to meet the nee.
eSsary expenses Of the government
economically administered. That
the tariff should be removed, OF. at
least reduced upon the necepsaries
Of life, and placed upon the luxu.
ries, If necessary. He favored the
estaOllSnment0l q bureau OF labor
and favored the forfeiture Of all
land grants TO railroads, where the
conditions had not been complied
with. On the prohibition question
while be thought the question
would not arise as a national issue
yet be favored the submission Of
the question to a vnte Of the people
and thOnghl the Legislature ought
to do so, That Democracy recog.
nized the people as the sovereign
power and they should have the
privilege Of making such changes
in the organic law as they deemed
best. On the whole Mr.. Hogg made

FLIRTATION'S BEARS.
How Giddy Young Men and Silly Girls
Find Amusement at the
Lakes.
Aoouaintances Which Are Easily Made
Without the Formally Of an
Introduction,
The Way Two Washers Conducted
Themselves During an After
noon and Evening.
An Example the Reverse of Com
mendable Which Many Are
Glad to Follow.

The dudes who wear funny neckties and
cane can all be found at the lakes on Sun
dav afternoon and night. These resorts
fairly swarm with young girls during the
yultry summer time, and the tiirtations car
RED on are so netting appalling. In the
woods outside the hot city the giddy girls
and the youths in search of recreation can
indulge in romantic walks and chance ac-
suaintanceship which sometimes results
disastriously to the too trusting females
who listen to the honeyed words OF
the professional ''masher." The Lakeside
woods in particular are dotted with shady
hooks and quiet trysting places, which are
easily discovered by young couples who
want to escape from the busy, curious
world and be alone with each other. Care
less peripatetic individuals, in their eXplOr-
ations, frequently stumble onto pairs scat
tered through the woods. All parties are
embarrassed, but if the intruder be gen.
tleman he will hastily disappear and leave
the lovers to enjoy their soft nothings and
osculatory amusement unmolested. Inc
writer overheard two young dudelets
the other day. Said one of them, whose
upper lip was slightly discolored by thin
mustache, resembling in its hue the fuz on
a caterpillars back, ''Say, Charlie. let's go
to the lake and catch on Well get a
couple of girls and then take a STROLL"
Charlie, who had been through the mill be-
fore. readily agreed. and the two took the
train. They ogled every woman on the
car, but no one took any notice of them,
although they talked very loud and tried to
be funny At the lake the boys had glsas
of beer and then walked over
the grounds. The grounds were full
of girls of every age and size. The
fair creatures, some of whom. however,
were not very fair, were moving along leis-
urely in couples and threes White dresses
were numerous, but the hats worn by the
promenaders represented every known
STYLE from Queen Elizabeth to Miss Rose
Cleveland There were white hats and
green hats with blue and green and pink
and every other kind of ribbon. The taste
of the wearer was shown in her head-gear.
A few, in imitation of the latest craze,
sported mems collars and cuffs, which gave
them decidedly masculine appearance. and
robbed them of that grace and delicacy
characteristic of refined womanhood 1t
may be well to remark that the reporter
had followed the dudes at safe distance
to witness the outcome of their
escapade. 1t was evident from the way in
which that pretty little girl in white
glanced about that she was expecting her

his engagement A few of the maidens

versation between the couples, who Kept
pretty close together during the afternoon,
was not Of much intellectual value to any
of them. After they had inspected the
reservoir and had some ice-cream, the girls
wouldn't drink beer, the boys grew conf
Dental and told some wonderful stories
about themselves. Gus, more modest than
Charlie, revealed the secret that he made
81. COCA year, while his cllum, asserted to
Katie that a rich uncle in Boston had left
him $25. 600. and he was soon going East
to collect the money. The lads knew
from experience that nothing so pleased
some poor girls as to go with wealthy and
aristocratic young men, and Katie and Liz
zie were poor girls. who worked hard in
store all week. This obtaining confidence
under false pretenses was considered per-
tectly legitimate by the dudes who talked
so plausibly that their companions were
inclined to believe them. The afternoon
passed rapidly for the four, and it was
evening before they realized it. The sun
set behind the western hills and only few
scattered couples were visible in
the approaching darkness. Charley
with Kate and Gus and Lizzie sat
themselves down on the hillside and
seemed entirely contented. They were not
esthetic and took no thought of the gloam
ing, with its pale light, nor did they notice
the shadows falling. The boys still held
the parasols over the heads of their part

pu bic for the many favors shown us in the
past, and TO announce that we are better
prepared than ever to handle all consign-
ments that may be placed with US, having to-
day one of the best appointed auction marts
in the West. The danger of making sales in
the street, arising from passing teams we
have recognized, and we have avoided that in
our new mart. All classes of goods will re-
ceive our personal attention. A long ac-
quaintance with the people of the city,
coupled with thorough knowledge of val
ues, give us an advantage that can only be
acquired by legitimate methods and honest
representation to consignor and purchaser
alike. This has been the key to our su ccess so
far and we do not propose to change our
method now. Real estate, household goods
of every description, art, fine, fair or indifer-
ent, will be handled on their merits and sold
for what they are worth to the purchasers.
No goods will be taken on limit. Our mart
sales are made every Wednesday and Satur-
day, throughout the year, at 10 o'clock in
the morning. P. T. Kavanagh Co., auc-

ings the peaceful halo of the place, soothed
the new acquaintance. and the foolish
boys actually began to talk love-
and the girls listened intently with
downcast eyes. But they were not
to be fooled by such chatf. and after
the spooney dudes had cooed in vain for
kiss with matter of-fact force Lizzie de-
clared, I'VE must go home" Cant we

chorus. No; it wouldn't do for our folks
to see you" Thus ended an afternoon fiirt-
alton, as thousands of them have done. The
girls went home alone, and the pair of
Washers, after finding that their joint cash
account amounted to SO cents, made for the
train. On Monday morning they were at
work earning their 81 week by stretching
calico in Seventh street store.
