On Sunday evening last, party Of Strea,
tor bicyclsts, while returning from run
west of the city, near the County Asylum
were run into by farmer, who, the boys
said refused to give them a share of the
road. Burt Lukins WAS thrown from his
wheel, and though he was not injured, his
wheel WAS smashed The farmers horse,
however, ran away, throwing the occupants
out of the buggy. leaving it upset in the
road while the horse disappeared down the
road west. Then followed long wrsngle
between the two parties. The Strsator boys
gave the owner of the buggy their names,
but a. he had no horse to take him on he
proposed to sit it out and proposed to keep
Lukins on the ground until he then and
there repaid the damage to him. At length,
sfter half hours wrangle, he grsciously
permitted the oyclers to depart-though Why
they didn't dump him and his friend in the
ditch and proceed on their way can only be
accounted for on the supposition that they
didn't want to fight on Sunday.

much more glorious and profitable II Is to
have theil products consumed by a man
who earns ten dollars a week than by one
who earns only seven dollars, regardless of
the important consideration of whether
the former pays any more for IL than does
the latter If our present tariff system or
its advocates offer the farmer ahy advanta
ges beyond these we fail to see them II
must be confessed that II is pretty thin
picking, but 1t seems to be taken for granted
that 1t Is enough to induce the farmer to
fall over himself In his eagerness to "reaf
firm his loyalty to the American system of
protection and high wages"-for the other
fellow.

The democratic rally at the village OF

all odds the largest political gathering ever
held here. Long before the speaker go'

when the band got here, and the torchli GIN
recession of about 1913 voters had marched
to its satisfaction and the speaker was
ready 70 make his address, II was found
that not over one fourth OF the audience OF
the village could get to hear the speech
excep, through the open windows Mr.
Eckels made very fine speech indeed, and
II was very we'll received The Glee Club
from Ottawa also added 10 the success OF
the meeting by singing number OF songs
before and after Mr. Eckels speech-and
during IL, in fact for since all could not

before squire Corcoran last MONDAY by the
commissioners of Wallace against j W.
3lingsby for preventing them from ditch-
Ing along the road, and also for filling In
what they had dug, Mr., Slingsby, fearing
he wouldn't receive justice ut the hands OF

another suit similar to the one brought

ed chairman and introduced G. y Flory, a
rising young democratic politician OF Wal
lace, who addressed the crowd. He sp0Ks
for fully an hour and half on the issues
of the day, and acquitted himself In very
creditable manner, handling the tariff
without gloves. Mr., Butler then intro
duced Edmond O'Donnell, an old and high.
ly respected democrat of this town, who
briefly reviewed the democratic party's
history from Jefferson down TO the present
day. and then dwelt at length upon the
county ticket closing by paying an elo-
quent tribute to our next states attorney,
AS he termed him, Geo, w. w, Blake
Messrs Fogsrty and Burke also made a
