THE decision handed down by the
Supreme court last Saturday, besides
determining the question of validity OF
warrants outstanding in many county,
municipal and school district organi-
cations, so materially increases their
assets. that but few will be left without
the legal limit of Indebtedness. In
Mason County, it was already arranged
to issue warrants for all bills remain
ing unpaid at next meeting of the
board of County Commissioners the
Auditor finding that other counties
based their assessed valuation on the
figures as equalized by the state board.
AS Mason County's assessment was
very materially raised by that board
last year, the limit of Indebtedness is
thus increased over $4,000, and this
County is within the limit. However,
the recent decision of the Supreme
court, declaring all delinquent taxes to
be assets, still further increases the
limit of Indebtedness. Including
bonds, notes and unpaid claims Mason
County's debt is about $33 900. The
decision, according to Supt. Gunder-
son, helps all but two school districts
IN the county. by permitting those in
debt to issue warrants for current
expenses.

worthy of mention that two of the few
surviving delegates to that first con-

May they and the party live to enjoy

The adage. "Give dog a bad name

of Representative Howard, of Ala,
who wrote scandalous book before
the populists elected him to the House.
He has been almost completely
ostracised by members of the House
ever since he took his seat, and several
days ago when he was carried out OF
the House very i'll, everybody declared
"Howard is drunk" and notwithstand-
ing the statement of his physician to
the contrary, many people continue
70 believe that he was drunk.

Great Commotion Over The Action OF
Congress With Reference to Cuba.
The action of Congress on the Cuban
question has been hailed with . de-
iirum of delight by Cubans in TINS
country and everywhere else. But II
has raised the ire of Spain. In that
country demonstrations have been
made against Americans. The Ameri-
can Consulate at Barcelona has been
mobbed and the windows broken with
stones. Recently an American schoon-
er was overhauled and searched Dy
Spanish cruiser. The American MIN
ister's residence in Madrid is now
guarded by police. Spain has ordered
its full navy to get in readiness. The
United States Senate has passed Dill
for the increase of our navy by thou.
sand enlisted men, and for the calling
out and enlisting of naval militia.
All this looks significant; but We
think it will end in buster. SPAN
cannot 20 to war with this country, al
though the papers of France and other
countries are saying if there should De
war, they will help Spain.

things in which we want to declare
our own independence. Don't 1orge'

IN TIE PURCHASE
Of HOUSEHOLD
NECESSITIES
You can now get the best at
Standard Prices, and a part
of the Money you pay
X for it goes to help
the Cause Of
-, Reform.

A plain, legitimate plan has been de-
vised, by which much can be done
without adding to ordinary domestic
expenses. Let every refOrmer read
and recommend the plan.
Acknowledgement from leading
Populists all over the country have
come to us to the effect that the scheme
of the Peoples Supply Co., of Balti-
more, is brilliant and its possibilities
grand if it only can be made to work.
It is working. 1t is already support
ing refOrmers in the field and is max
ing money. 1t is now establishing
Headquarters in various States and or
ganizing an army of speakers and
workers for the cause.
THE SIMPLE PLAN.
The simple plan of this great enter
prise is this: The Peoples Supply Co
Is an incorporated body and is manu-
featuring various staple and package
articles Of most common consumption
which Populists in all parts of the
country are buying and will continue
| to use. The reasons why POpulist!
buy these goods in preference to 9th
ers of a different manufacture are sew
eral. ALL the profits on ALL the good
manufactured and sold by this Com
pany 20 to the Populist cause. Popu
lists have implicit confidence that tn
Peoples Supply Co. is thoroughly reli
able and furnishes only the purest an
most wholesome articles the marke
affords. There is no fear of adultera
ton for profits. In the third plac
every thing this company places upo
the market is accompanied with tn
choicest gems of POpulist Literature
In this way every package becomes
; messenger of light, carrier OF trut
to the darkest hooks and corners OF 81
ciety.
> GOODS NOW ON THE MARKET.
The goods that the Peoples Suppl
Co. has already placed upon the ma
ket and which are already meetln
f with a large sale are Starch, Bakir
= Powder, Soap, Cigars, Shoe Blackln
Shoe Polish, and the four staple hous
hold medicines, Sarsaparilla, 1rt
