How Pretty Candle-Shades May De Mado
at Slight Expense.
The pretty little candle-shades Of
creped paper, that cost forty-five or
fifty cents yard in the shops are
made with very little trouble at cost
of from twelve to nineteen cents A
fve-cent roll of the paper. cut length
wise into two pieces, will give two
strips about four inches wide and If
teen inches long. One of these pieces
will make shade. Cut a piece Of
cardboard or stiff paper six and a-hslf
inches long and a quarter inch wide
and gum it together firmly. This
makes the collar on which the paper Is
to be pasted 1t should be just large
enough to fit over the little brass
stakeholder that clasps the candle.
Take flour paste and fasten the paper
together so that it forms little petit
coat. Draw both the upper and lower
edges over the forefnger with the
thumb and fore6nger of the other
hand This will flute them like frill
Put the paper petticoat over the paste
board collar, leaving half inch rising
above it, and paste the fullness evenly
to the collar. When dry stretch the
paper as much as you can without
breaking to make shade fare. Put a
yard or yard and a half of baby
ribbon around the top of the shade,
and tie in. with the full bow you make
a bunch of small flowers If you want
very fiaring shade. like the petticoat
of skirt-dancer, use both strips of
paper, joining them with paste. You
may, if you choose. gather the paper
on a stout thread or a small wire.
If the candles over which the shades
are placed are to be lighted, there
should be shade of mica OF of as
bestos paper placed under them. The
mica shades are preferable, because
they do not obscure the light. lunches
of small colored flowers with stems,
such as violets or buttercups for orna-
menting shades, are sold at twenty
five cents bunch. The lunches con-
tain enough flowers for several shades
Pink and scarlet, and a lavender that
is almost pink look the prettiest at
night White and pale green shades,
or white and gold, are pretty in the
DAYTIME. A silver candlestick looks
well with a green candle and a shade
of white. with green edges, ribbon
and flowers a candelabra of white
and gold has fancy candles of white,
covered with gilt fieur-de-lys and white

OUR CELEBRATION.
An Ideal Day. A Big Crowd and Good
Program.

1t was cool and cloudy and looked
like rain Wednesday morning. 1t
stayed cool and cloudy all day but it
didn't rain. And so about 1000 peo-
pie who came to lola to celebrate had
just about the incest, pieasantest time
they ever had in their lives. The
Riverside Park was in perfect condi-
ton and ample arrangements had
been made for the convenience and
comfort of the crowd.
We haven't space to speak in de-
tail of the literary part of the pro-
gram, but it was listened to by an
uncommonly large and attentive
crowd, and it seemed to give general
satisfaction. The address of Mr..
Benton was particularly well liked,
and in compliance with numerous re-
quests, the REGISTER will publish it
in part, and perhaps in full. next
week. -.....
The ball game between LaHarpe
and lola was the event of the day in
the line of sport. The LaHarpe club
has had big run Of luck SO far this
summer and it expected to "do" lola
in short order. But we guess the boys
must have lost their rabbits foot. At
any rate the lola club wore them to q
frazzle. the score being AZ to 10 in
Iola's favor. The LaHarpe boys made
some good plays,-but not quite
enough of them.
OF the smaller sports only two ma
terialized,-the foot race and the po-
tato race. VIM. Merritt came out first
i'm the foot race and Dick Longshore
second. In the potato race Longshore
came out first and VIM. Green second.
The prizes in each race were $500 for
the first and S1.00 for the second. The
other races advertised did not take
place because there were no entries.
The fireworks in the evening were
very creditable indeed, and the large
crowd which stayed to see them were
well entertained.
The music during the day was fur
nished by the Remsberg band and the
Erie band, and was first class. The
Erie boys were handsomely uniform
ed, and their courteous and gentle
manly conduct, no less than their ex-
cellent music, won them much praise.
There were many compliments also
for the Remsberg band which certain
ly played better than we ever heard
it before.
On the whole the great day was a
complete success. The crowd was
happy and comfortable and well en-
tertained, and there were no serious
mishaps. The program was carried
out without hitch and there was no
disturbance of the peace. In order to
achieve these happy results the COM
mittee of arrangements had to do a
great deal of hard work, and we all
owe them congratulations and thanks.

Judge R. L. Manley, of Elm town.
ship; for Clerk of the District Court,
Watson Elliot, of Cottage Grove town.

Vide NJ. Featheringil, of Carlyle

This, it will be observed, is a
straight Populist ticket with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Horville, the Democrat
ic nominee for Commissioner who was
endorsed, and with the exception that
no nomination was made for County
Attorney.
The platform is as follows:
The Peoples party of Allen county in dele
gate convention assembled does most heartily
endorse and ratify the declaration Of principles
pet s platforms ifSi And we hereby heartily en-.
dorse the able and patriotic administration Of
Governor Lewelling and re affirm our allegiance

We look with contempt on the vascilatfng and
demagogical position Of the so-called Republi-
can party. and condemn ii as unworthy of fur
Their trust or confidence of the people.
Recognizing that an element of that party.
disguised with the tricks and robbery, have
made an honorable effort TO purify it. and effect
reform within its own ranks, we respectfully re-
mind all such that the same old crowd who
have by their corrupt methods, both in and out
of the party. rendered II a stencil and byword
are again in the lead And we call upon all
who love their homes and their country to take
up the gauntlet thrown down by these poll
ticians and aid us in the battle for the whole
people.
We call attention to the fact that under Re-
publican rule and in spite of the warning
sounded by the opposition. Allen county has
been plunged in debt by an issue of bonds for
less corporation for SL00 and are now a burden
on the impoverished tax payers OF the county.
and the corporation that received the bonds not
only charges and collects exhorsitant rates
from our citizens but attempts to escape just
taxation. and that the said taxes are collected
in full only by the tireless efforts of officials OPP
posed TO the Republican party.
We further declare in favor OF strict economy
in County. State and National affairs to the end
that the people may speedily be delivered OF
the burden of enormous taxation necessary TO
remove the load of debt saddled on them by
Republican methods
We invite all persons to carefully investigate
the political situation and 10 rally under our
banner TO battle for and secure equal justice 70
