Improve Your Live Stock.

To those OF our readers who are con-
templating the purchase of live stock,
we wish to call attention to the adver-
tisement of Messrs. Powell Brothers,
"shadeland,' Springboro, Pa. They do
not ask fancy prices for their stock, and
will sell at Tive and let live" prices, and
at terms satisfactory to the purchaser as
far as possible. The extensive business
done by this firm puts them in a position
to sell stock of merit as low or lower
than any other establishment in Amer
lea. If you are thinking Of buying, and
want bargain. write them what you
desire, and you can depend upon fair
and square dealing at their hands,

No Local Option.

We learn that the powers that be in
Temperance circles have determined not
to hold a local option election. The lists
been started but discretion was thought
to be the better part of valor, so the
Knights of the Dry Side lowered their
lances and retired to await more con-
venient season, to-wit when there is no
places of honor and profit have to be
passed upon by the good people. Again
the disciples of temperance have retired
in the face of political expediency.n

The C. & o. people have given StauH-
ton a handsome and comfortable depot
building, supplied with every conyen-

On the location where the old frame
building stood has been erected u brick

first floor, is the ticket office, water clos

used by James Ker, jr., the ticket agent.
On either side of the centre building are
the reception rooms, handsomely finished
and comfortable seats. The wings for
the reception rooms are only one story,
but are high pitched. In front Of the

into his new quarters Friday last. Mr..
Ker has been ticket agent at this station
for a number of years. He is a tried
and faithful officer, in whom the officials

Prohibition party, who was next intro
| duced by Mr.. Henderson as a second Sam

Prohibition party, who was next intro
duced by Mr.. Henderson as second SAM
uel, said:
I'VE are the true Anti Monopoly party and
the true friends of American labor: To be
a power in politics we must close the
American saloons. l think that high Ii
cense has always proved conspicuous
failure. No question can be discussed from
the political platform of greater interest
to all than the prohibition question.
Close all the saloons in San Francisco
and every business would feel good effects.
There are S15,000000 spent in saloons in
the city of San Francisco yearly. If pro-
hibition prevailed. every trade, every bust
ness, would feel the impetus of new life.
The cry of oyer-production is false one.
The cry should be under consumption. If
there should be less money spent in saloons
there would be more money spent in legitl-
mate avenues of trade. l am not unreason-
able enough to suppose that any political
party will ever knife the power that gives
them life, namely, the saloon power.
"The Republican party cannot afford to
support prohibition. If [ were Republi-
can politician in this State l would not
think it advisable to support prohibition
principles and so antagonize the anti-Pro-
hibitionists of the party. Between Repub-
lican victory and Democratic victory
would not turn my hand; but L will work
day and night to beat them both and to
have in the near future double barreled
funeral"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Dickies speech
a collection was taken up for the benefit of
the funds OF the County Committee. Four
subscriptions of $40, two of So and one of
81 were promised. and few dollars were
dropped in the hats the collectors passed
around by the audience, who rapidly
thinned.
Henry French of San Jose, Chairman of
the State Central Committee, in brief adj
dress eulOgized General Bidwell and av0wed
that he would be the next Governor of the
State. He was followed by Chauncey Dunn
of Sacramento, the party's nominee for At
General, who told why he left the
Republican and allied himself with the
Prohibition party.
