Reports are that petty thieving and
burglaries are rife where ever Ringling

the show harbors these thieves, but
they seem to follow them despite the
best efforts to get rid of them. Lock
the door and fasten the windows dur
ing the parade and when you leave the

We, the undersigned, will, on the
first day of August, 1896, commence
doing IL strictly cash business. We
will have TO do business in competi-
ton with those who have adopted this
system, and the only way to meet that
competition successfully is to adopt
the same system ourselves. Thanking
you for past favors and hoping to be
favored with your patronage in the flu
ture, we remain,
Yours truly,
MILLER & WEBER.
j. X. Kostohryz and daughters, living
near Protiv;n, were the victims of q
runaway on Thursday afternoon, which
resulted in q serious accident for one
aud a severe shaking up for the others.
The team became frightened at the
afternoon freight and the neckyoke
let downthe tongue and nothing could
be done to stop the team. The girl
most seriously injured received a
scalp wound nearly six inches in
length, but was improved sufficiently
TO be taken homo Sunday afternoon.
Our cartoon this week represents
what has been the political situation
for tho past 25 years. First one party
has held the farmers, the laborers and
J the producers of the country while the
other ilceced them. Both have been
faithful servants to the money powers,
the party in power holding up the
victims of Wall street plunderers
while they plucked them bare. The
process will continue unless the silver
men triumph in their election this
fall, in their contention for more mon
ey und less misery.
