NutSancea In Great cities.
Not the least among the various Of
lenses that meet the eye, and seldom
with any palliating incidents. are the
signs of all kinds that distigure most of
the buildings in the business districts.
A plain signboard, giving the name of
the company or individual proprietor
and the nature sof the business, is unob-
iectionable, however large, if set up
against the wall, over the entrance or at
the Threshold The largest concerns in
the city have, however, abandoned even
these, and are content to use small

But the popular idea in signs seems TO
run to as great display as posi- BILE, and
in its indulgence taste and safety are
sacrificed. What can be more hideous
than those great nrial wire structures
that project from the tops Of buildings
or are hung across the streets? They are
dangerous. too, as experience has shown.
Then there are those dazzling monstrosi-
ties which, in colored glass, call the at
tention of the passerby to the game Of
billiards and other pastimes Some of
the porticos which project over the
whole sidewalk are utilized for similar
purposes
Exaggerated hats, bonnets, clocks,
mortars, saws and other symbols of the

II Mems Muscles Were Like June Bugs
A gentleman residing on the west side
noticed very large juno bug flying
around his piazza and proceeded to cap
ture 1t. He placed the captive under a
heavy glass tumbler which rested on a
newspaper, expecting to examine the in
sect little later in the evening when he
had leisure
On returning TO the table where he had
placed the bug, some half hour later. he
found that it had moved the tumbler
nearly foot by placing its head against
the side Of the glass and pushing it along.
In order TO be certain that the glass had
been moved by the captive, he carefully
marked its position on the newspaper
with pencil, and at the expiration OF
another quarter Of an hour found it had
been moved nearly five inches. As the
tuinbler weighed at least fifty times as
much as the bug, the ease with which it
was moved around on the paper was a
source Of considerable establishment.
The June bug was less than an inch In
length, and was restored to liberty in
view Of the exhibition it had given of its
strength
The story is vouched for by several
witnesses, who were called in to see the
insect as it was pushing the glass along
Rochester Union.

Mrs Lease Lays Down the Law for
the Alliance.

The presence of Mrs. NJ. E. Lease in
the city Saturday evening was of course
the occasion of more less seeking for
inspiration on the part Of the peoples
party managers. The REFLECTOR is
favored with report of one of the in
terviews held by the managers in ques-
ton. 1t was just before the lecture
when one of the alliance officials, q
county officer elect and leading ALI
ance man formerly democrat held a
little conversation with Mrs. Lease in
the Pacific house parlors.
"What do you think of Ingalls, re-
electiOn?" asked the ex-demOcrat.
"He can't be elected" was her reply.
"We won't allow it."
But" said the ex-democrat, she
will be, 1 have constant correspon-
dence with alliance men and dem ocrats
in Topeka and they tell me that his re-
election is almost certain
''It can't be-he must be defeated.
Do you hear, he must be. If Ingalls, is
elected all our labor has been in vain
and the alliance must defeat him if it
takes every dollar in the state and
county treasures"
but suppOsing we can't?'' put in
the officer of che alliance.
"There is NO can't about it. We
must. If necessary every delegate
selected to go to the original conven-
ton must be in Topeka to WELD his in
fluence and the alliance must put up
money to pay their way"
The conversation then turned on
other topics and the county official
elect asked her if she would mention
the REFLECTOR in her speech.
81 don't intend to-" said she.
81 have some copies of the paper I'll
bring up to you, it may warm you up"
said he.
"Well, if they have said anything
they'll catch Tiny tongue is not
tied"
She seemed much pleased at having
an opportunity to see the great moral
and religious expounder of republican
ism and news and accepted the offer
thankfully and promised to bring her
brain to bear on them.
The trio then left the august pres
enee, impressed with the idea that
there was more or less of a petticoat
government over the peoples party of
Kansas.
