We have printed badges for six ALI
ances. Those who want badges for the

Many prominent alliance men, from

One of the most enjoyable parties of
the season was the one given by Miss
Carrie Carmichael at her home in the
west part of the city Tuesday evening.
The evening was spent in numerous
parlor and outdoor games; refresh
ments were served at the proper time.
Those in attendance report highly en-
joyable time and say that Miss Carrie
is charming entertainer.
Royal Hahn says that j. o. Hahn
had better get to work, as several per-
sons think that he, (Royal) is the ALI
ance candidate for superintendent, and
that such ideas will prevent such per-
sons from voting for j. o. Hahn. We
admire Royals candor, and take occas-
ion to say that he is not our nominee.
J. o. Hahn is well-known, and is get
ting stronger every day. We don't
think it lies in the cards to beat him.
John McGrath was out to the picnic,
Friday, and while washing his hands
in the creek, dropped his pocket book
from an inside coat pocket. He did not
miss 1T fOl some hours, and as it con-
tanned $40 he became quite animated III
his search. AT length he and Harry
Stevens found the book in the sand; a
so bill trampled in the dirt; some sill
yer also scattered about, and $40 bill
had fioated some distance down the
creek. 1t was all recovered except S..
Jas. NJ. Reagin Is decreed to be the
next commissioner from this, the first
district. 1t is bread and butter with
the opposition to beat him. He will
not endorse such hlgh-handed proceed
ings as his opponent has endorsed. Mr..
Cool feels that his reelection would be
an endorsement by the people of his
former acts. The Cresset fears that if
Reagin Is elected it cannot pull in the
county printing like it did last April.
Hence its vicious assault. The dis
guise is thin. Everybody sees through
it. Reagin in gaining.
The following arrangements have
been devised by the committee, for the
barbecue on Saturday, September 9th:
Marshal, j. w. Jones; assistant mar
shals, Benjamin Daugherty, John II.
Wheat, o. ii. Dunbar and II. j. Potes.
Sub-alliances will select marshals to
take charge of each surveillance III pro-
cession. Sub-alllances will assemble as
early as possible on Saturday, 9th, on
the slope by the cemetery. All mem
bers are urged to join in the parade.
Flags, banners, notices and badges are
appropriate.
Some of the members of our band say
that there is some complaint of their
practice on Sunday, and they want us
to call attention to the fact that the
Queen of England has thrown the
weight of her influence In favor of the
movement for the encouragement of
Sunday band concerts, by permitting
the bands of the Royal House Guards
and Coldstream Guards to play on the
Terrace at Windsor Castle on Sunday
afternoon, for the delectation of the
public of Windsor. The boys think it
will not be in good form for our citizens
to complain at that which the Queen
sanctions.
The G. o. p. put up Mr.. Streeter to
beat Harry Lands. He is supposed to
be the strongest man they have. 1t Is
thought that he can vote the whole
Cherokee Strip. We will say that the
man who beats Harry will have to get
votes outside of the county. lie. has
grown more popular ever since his
first canvass of the county. His first
majority was SO; his next majority was
300; and though the conditions are now
changed, he will beat his opponent 200
votes, in an honest ballot and fair
count. lie has made the best superin-
tendent the county has ever had, and
will make the best district clerk.
Travelling for pleasure is all right
enough If one can afford it. Bnt those
who leave their homes and friends and
go out west, hoping that mountain all
will cure already developing consump-
ton, arc paying out the money without
receiving benefit. How rev of those
who left their homes In search of health
return cured. And how many have not
returned at all. 1t takes something
stronger and more substantial than the
pure mountain aiFto cure consumption.
How much cheaper and safer it is foI
sea suspectInQ conSumptiVe tendeu.
