memory he has, He is little near-sighted
and slightly feeble in physique, walking
slowly along the crowded sidewalks, and
yet in very fair health. The climate
agrees with him exceedingly well. He
spends much of his time with his son, who
is prominent citizen here, and in taking
daily walks about the beautiful city.

"Faust" Lasr Night.

The production of Faust" at Fergu-

entertainment. Mr. Morrison made a
decidedly favorable impression in the title
role and was supported by an excellent
cast Miss Rosabel Morrison was charm

the honors with the head of the company.
The staging and senic effects of the play
were complete and very effective. 1t was
by far the best production of Faust"
ever seen here.

was met at the depot by a large de.ega-
ton, headed by a brass band, and escort
ed to the Frame hotel, where there was
a large number Of old settlers who have
known him for years. On account of the
prevailing cold weather an outdoor
meeting was out OF the question. making
it necessary for himself and his ever
enthusiastic hearers TO repair to Vur-
Pills opera house. Long before Chair
man Steis called the meeting TO order the
opera house was packed and black
mass of peOp.e leading from the street
TO the entrance was trying 10 gain ad-
mittance To hear him. One Of the sur
pTises of the day was the presence upon
the stage of y. II. Lane, a convert to the
cause of democracy He has been life
long republican, and was for years chair
man OF the republican county central
committee, and his advice in republican
politics will be mucl missed and s0rely
needed. Senator Turpie reviewed briefly
the work of the last congress and his
argument was both powerful and pleas
ing. lie said that the party had re-
deemed its pledges when the Sherman
law was repealed and silver restored
from that of a commodity to a parity
with gold: when the federal cleo
ton laws were repealed: when
greenbacks. silver certificates ana
other obligations of the gcvcra>
ment were made taxable Same as the
farmers land, the merchants goods and
other property. He explained tn con-
stitutiOnal provisions for the raising Of
revenues and commended the income tax
feature of the Wilson bill as a mild, wise
patriotic step TO equaiize the taxes of al
citizens.
He then gave thorough explanation
of the new tariff bill, and the democrats
of this vicinity who heard him are thor
oughly aroused to the Importance of a
democratic victory this fall and have
set about to accomplish that result.
