WILL GIVE HIMLOYAL SUP
PORT.

The New York WorlH has inter-
viewed the Democratic State Com
mittee of New York in reference to the
Chicago convention, and the members
declare that if Mr.. Cleveland is nom-
mated they will give him loyal sup
port. Of course, nobody supposes
otherwise, except the few who desire to
see the ex-President shelved. Messrs.
Croker, Cochran, Mayor Grant and
Mel aughlin are very emphatic in the
declaration that they will do their
very best to elect Mr.. Cleveland if he
is nominated.
Of ali the committee interviewed
only two were positive in the asser-
tion that Mr.. Cleveland cannot carry
New York. Boss Platt, on the Re-
publican side, together with his as
sociates, say that Harrison will not
carry "the Empire State" by 10000.
Now the question arises, if Cleveland
cannot carry it if nominated, and
Harrison will lose it by $4,000, who
is to carry it, anyhow Perhaps some
one will say the Farmers Alliance or
the Prohibition candidate. The latter
proposition is all nonsense, yet not
more so than some of the things that
are being urged why Mr.. Cleveland
should not be nominated.-NoytolX
Nrginian.
The dominion of any sinful habi,
will fearfully estrange US from His

of inward disobedience in thought Of

tween Him and us, and to leave oul
hearts cherries and dark.

AN INCoRRIGIBLE PARROT

An old maiden lady, who strongly
objected to followers" had as COM
panion gray parrot with wonder
full faculty for picking up sentences.
One day the old lady had caused to
severely reprimand one of her maids
for breach Of the "follower" ordi-
nance. This so irritated the girl that
as a windup to the recital of her
wrongs, in the hearing OF her fellow
servants and Polly, who happened to
be with them, she exclaimed passion
nately," Il wish the old lady was dead" I"
The parrot lost no time in showing
off its newly acquired knowledge when
next taken into the drawing room, to
the alarm of its elderly mistress, who
superstitiously thought it was warn
ng from another world.
| She at once consulted the vicar,
who kindly volunteered to allow his
own parrot, which could almost preach
short sermon, sing psalms, &C., to be
kept short time with the impious one
in order to correct its language. To
this end they were kept together in a
small room for few days, when the
lady paid them visit in company
with her spiritual adviser. To their
intense horror, Immediately the door
was opened, the lady's parrot saluted
them with the ominous phrase, 81
wish the old lady was dead!" the
wears bird responding, with all the
solemnity of an old parish clerk. s'The
Lord hear our prayer. .''-E1.

Hurrah For Santa Clans :

its on former occasions, Santa Claus has
concluded to establish his headquarters at
Saur & Balsley's large Drug and Book House.
In order to give everybody an opportunity
to get something from his large stock and
great variety, he has opened out early with
many of his gifts so that already you may
be able to make selections which will please
you. This stock is larger than ever before
and comprises more useful articles. The
toilet cases are more substantial and very
much cheaper. Those who will take the
trouble to examine the goods on sale at this
house before making any purchases, will
surely save money and get that which IL

children are very fine and contain much
useful reading matter which will be of use
to them when they become older.

BATES ARRESTED
Without Doubt He is the Man Who
Tore Down the Building.

Arthur Bates lies in the bastile charged
with maliciously destroying a building in
its course of construction near Hicox's mils.
He was arrested last Thursday by Sheriff
Decker. 49,.
1t seems that the prisoner at one time
owned the farm but was compelled to sur
render it by foreclosure process.
John Allen came into possession and had
raised the frame of house. One morning
the same was found utterly demolished and
Bates was at once suspicioned as being the
vandal who did it.
A couple of Chicago detectives were called
into service and the supposed criminal was
arrested. The case was to have come up in
Probate court Monday morning but owing
to urgent business of the prosecutor out of
town, it has been postponed until later.
On Tuesday the Prosecutor returned and
the case was heard. Bates was convicted
,and sentenced to 30 days in the stoneyard:
Execution was suspended for 10 days.

With the advent of dancing school, it is
hoped that much needed reformation in
