\ Strong Nomination.

Colonel P%oorman's success in the
s~teubenville convention gives great
satisfaction in this region. 1t is a
strong nomination and means that the
district will be, represented in Congress
BY one. Of the best equipped men in tho
country.
On every ono Of the questions of the
day Col. Poorman has much more than
ordinary information, and til oso who
have, heard him need not be told that
in ability to discuss a subject, in a cap

A GOOD SHOW.

We are always advising you to
advertise, and to keep on advertis

ground entirely. OF course, YOU
should make your advertising effec-

you should not use a ''talloW dip
TO light the path to your store.
What do we mean by that? Sim
ply that the more conspicuous, the
more artistic, the more attractive,
the more original you make your aud.
vertisements, the more people will
see and read them, and the more
customers you will have to con-
tribute to your cash-drawer.
Study effects in bold pretty type
good matter may be spoiled BY

Above all, let it be bold enough to

FIRE MATTERS.
Proceedings at Yesterdays Meeting of
the Commission.

Proceedings at Yesterdays Meeting of
the Commission.
The fire commission met yesterday
morning, there being present Messrs.
Kuhrts, Broderick and Stillson and
Chief Moore.
III. ID. Barrows has feed store and
poultry yard next door to his place on
San Pedro street. He objects to the
quantity of hay there is stored there and
wants the fire ordinance amended. He
proposed amendments to the law, which
were referred to the chief.
Electrician Hogan stated that he had
received orders from the chief TO put in
position the fire boxes on Boyle Heights
and Central avenue. This involves put
ting up new circuits and running six
and one half miles of wire. The Elec-
trio company has now put upon the sys-
tenn 1858 95, and received $3.50 in return.
The contract with the city did not con-
template any extension of the circuits,
only putting in boxes within the circuit
limits was understood. Yhe company
receives $46 per month for furnishing
this material and extra labor. If this
work is done by the company it will
cost over $500 more.
Mr.. Kuhits said the work had to be
done. The councimen had been after
him and he had told them that the
work was ordered done. He thought
the city was not making anything by
this contract by which the electric
company had charge of the lines. He
wanted the contract declared null and
the city to employ Mr.. Hogan at $75 per
month to take charge OF the system,
the city to furnish material and labor
as it had done before.
Mr.. Hogan assented to this arrange
ment, but asked that the matter be laid
over for one week, which was done.
The chief reported the following mem
bers suspended and ordered to answer
to charges as preferred: w. g. Gard
ner, driver OF engine No. 4, for absence
from duty without permission; William
Barry, driver of hose cart No. 3. absence
from duty and neglect of sick horse
M Moriarty, driver of hose cart No. 2,

J. K. Rand callman engine company

alarms of fire in January. 1892. Rand
