Good Advice.

A good way to test swindling
scheme is to offer a non.negotiable
note whom tho time comes for the
signing. Mark out the words cor
order" or "bearer" which always
follows the blank line on which is
written the name of the man to
whom the noto is given. Make it
pavable to him alone. That saves
YOU all right if tho note is given
with view of a contract which the
other party offers just write upon
tho note ahead of your signature
these words: "The payment OF this
note is made conditional upon the
performance of contract for which
it is given" Always remember
that no matter what oral contract
you may have it will have nothing
to do with tho payment of the note
unless it appears on the face of the
note. You will never got any agent
of any fake or swindling scheme to
take a note payable to him or refer
ring on tho face to the contracts he
makes. 1t is not always sign that
swindle is attempted whom a nogo-
table motto is demanded; but in ro'
gard to dealing with strangers it
may safely be said that you win
nine times where you will lose once
by refusing to deal With tom or
their agents at all.

Democracy at Aberdeen in state con-
vention is having a heated session. The
bone Of contention is the money question.
The free silverites seem to have the
votes while the administration men who
principally want to 90 as delegates to
Chicago, are INIT Cleveland for gold"
Even Judge Garland who is conceded
the delegates ship from this district with
out opposition says he will not 60 to
Chicago on silver instructions. 1t is to
be hoped that the rank and file will as
sert themselves as did the Iowa demo
Gratis and cause the gold bugs to take a
back seat by declaring for silver and
Horace. 1t will give d western candi-
date some show at Chicago. But the
selection OF s.. A. Ramsey as temporary
chairman of the convention shows that
the intrigue of the administration men
is having its effect and will no doubt re.
suit in thwartlng the general desire OF
the state delegates.
