A high authority tells US that ''Cleanli-
ness is next to goodness" AS being con-
ducive to cleanliness bathing per Sc is
commendable; but bathing in state of
nature close by the public street and in
plain sight of all passers-by, is not COM
mendable, and those boys who have been
engaging in this pastime of late will find
the same danger hanging over them as
threatens the Sunday baseball players if
they persist in it.

Election IN this town proved to be
both interesting and lengthy. Ballottings
after O'Clock Wednesday morning when
w. I. Robinson was chosen town repre-
sentative by majority of five. The con-
test was between Mr.. Robinson as straight
republican, Jacob G.. Gray, republican
and farmers alliance, and FL. P. Cook,
democratic nominee. Each candidate had
strong and popular following who
fought long and well. Mr.. Robinson's
force was best held in hand and he won.
