Notice.

BY request of the central committee all
delegates who have not yet forwarded
their contribution to the campaign fund
to the secretary, are requested to do 80
at once. 1t is all important that we have
funds to run the campaign. As busi-
ness proposition we feel safe In saying
that It would pay every laborer to con-
tribute q weeks wages to this movement,
and every farmer to donate calf or q
COW that the principles we advocate may
prevail. We have no cow TO give, but
we propose to give the price of one. Let
all give literally, remembering that we
can make no investment Of 81, $5 or $40
that will bring US better returns. This
is O matter Of business, not q gift. A
liberal investment on the part OF each
will not only pay US, but will enable US
TO carry the county by handsome ma
jorIty for the people In the city as well
as In the country are growing weary OF
system of laws that iS giving luxury TO
idleness and want and starvation to
labor.
Let US show them the light Of the
north star.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE,

The true hero will endeavor to
make the most of life, and to this
end the first consideration is a 70
bust constitution. Like good gen
eral on the battle plain, who, when
expecting an attack from the enc
my, will entrench himself in fortifi-
cations, SO he, when disease is in
the atmosphere or lowering in am
bush amid climatic chances, will
fortify his system against every en-
croachment the grim monster may
seek to make. Many grand life
has ended for want of timely pre-
caution in the hour of need. When
fever and influenza are abroad, when
the damp chilly days touch the mar
row bones, when effuvia and mala-
ria, walk hand in hand, then it is
that the system should be fortified
by use Of that superb strengthen
ing tonic Alternative of DR.. John
Bulls Sarsaparilla, which keeps the
blood pure and the funtions regu-
lated, so that disease cannot enter
the citadel of life.

The BeefsteaIz Club.

Meetings of members were held every
Saturday between November and June
All the members had to wear a sort Of
uniform, namely, blue coat and buff
waistcoat. with brass buttons bearing a
gridiron and the words Beef and Lib
erty," and also ring having the same
device. Each could introduce one guest,
except on particular days, when ac-
counts were looked up, the merits Of
candidates discussed and other business
matters gone into.
One side of the room was occupied by
an enormous gridiron, through which
one could see cook in white cap and
blouse standing by a fire in readiness
for action. The steaks were served on
hot pewter plates, together with Spanish
onions, eschalots and baked potatoes,
and were washed down with port or
porter. The only second course per-
mitted was toasted cheese. This dis
posed Of, the cloth was removed, the
cook collected the money in a plate, and
the rest of the evening was given mp to
noisy revelry. English Illustrated Maga-,

Gaining a Reputation with Ease.

A South Carolina physician, asked
why he located at Monclova, said: ut is
first rate place for doctor. If a man
is sick all you have to do is to tell his
friends (no matter whether the affair is
serious or not to go to priest and have
him confessed and prepared for death.
II he dies they will say: What good
doctor he is. He knew he must die, and
so had hisspiritual interests attended to.

capable physician he must be- The man
was in the last extremity and prepared
for death, and he cured him So in either

Every man." says an American

forte to do one thing, and other mems

numerous shiftless creatures whose forte
is to do nothing at ALL" The latter, with
but slight qualification, would seem to
be the characteristic of Gaspone Pyeni,
q middle aged German, walking with
the aid of crutches, who appeared at
Grildhall police court, accused of persist
emily soliciting aims from gentlemen in
Broad street.

land, and he was always to be found in

the soft impeachment; he was not beg
ging, he urged, but selling matches. The
ingenuity of this asseveration was made
manifest when the police officer stated
that true it was the prisoner had three
boxes of matches upon him, but they
were in his pocket.
The presiding alderman, Sir James
Whitehead, remarked that matches were
very much used as cloak for begging.
"You must understand" the worthy
magistrate added, ''that we cannot have
you foreign beggars coming over to this
country to beg" This being the first
offense Pyeni was discharged, and he
lost no time in hobbling out OF court. II

feeling in the room was, therefore, more
bullish than usual of late and the traders

WEDNESDAY, August II. :
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-
Farm and garden products keep coming in
quantities far beyond the capacity of our
markets to absorb Receipts of peaches to-
day were beyond anything this season.
There were close to ten carloads on sale at
the produce commission houses, and prices
touched their lowest point for this season.
Commission men complain, as did one of
old, ''that they have no room to bestow
their fruits and goods" Nature in her
bounty has yielded too much garden prod
ucts to make it good year to the gardener.
Large quantities are handled at small profit.
The producer would be happier with less to
handle and more money for his stuff What
is loss to the producer is, however, gain to
the consumer. We advance our quotations
on creamery butter and expect to advance
again before the week is out.
