BRYAN IN MICHIGAN.
Last Week He Addressed Fully
One-half of the Voters of the State.
AND FRrGHTENs THE REPUBLICANS.

Mr.. BRYAN closed his tour of Michigan on
Saturday night, and in four days he addressed
crowds aggregating 100000. When be
reached Detroit, where $4,000 people greeted
him, the following dispatch preceded him:
GRAND RAPIDS, October IL, 1896.
To Hon. D. NJ. Ferry, Detroit:
Good cause for anxiety here. This man
presence inspires the weak members of his
party to renewed activity. Think something
should be done Immediately TO counterfeit the
effect of his incendiary speeches here.
Meetings were record breakers. Think
Durbin ought to be notified to have press re-
ports cut down. Z. w. WATKINS.
d. NJ. Ferry is Chairman of the State Re-
publican Committee and C. w. Watkins is
Republican manager at Grand Rapids.
The dispatch is ample evidence that Mr..
Bryan enthused his followers and created dis
order in the Mckinley ranks. Meetings
we're record breakers" said Watkins, and he
was evidently impressed that the state was
lost if something was not quickly done. He
also thought the ''press reports" ought to be
cut down, so those who could not attend the
meetings could not read the strong and con-
vncing words of the Democratic nominee.
AT FLINT.
When Mr.. Bryan reached Flint on Satur-
day great crowd was gathered and he spoke
as follows:
Nv attention has been called to an in
cident which took place in this town, and
which illustrates the manner in which the
farmer has come to understand the mon
ey question, as well as the ignorance of
the average fiancier on the money ques-
ton. One of your bankers called
farmer into his office and told him that if
was elected President the mortgage
would be foreclosed, aud the farmer re-
piled to him that if Mr.. Mckinley was
elected he could have the farm. Laugh e
ter and cheers. But, he added, if was
elected he could not foreclose the mort
gage, because then he would be able to
pay the mortgage. CHEERS and APP

of people who can buy buggies, you have

Those antiquarians, Palmer and Buckner,
aged 10 and 70 respectively, who are able to
travel about 100 miles a day and make two
speeches each week, are to invade Nebraska,
and may speak in Lincoln, the home of Bryan.
What danger to Bryan they may occasion !!
If some one does not look after these two
aged men they may not get home to vote.
And Palmer having belonged to every party
that has been existence during his political
life viii scarcely know how to vote, unless
some one shows him how to mark his ballot.
1t was cruel in the Indianapolis political
eranks to resurrect these old men.

Movement

Is Sham and Humbug?
1t is nothing but movement to elect Nc
Kinley, and Mr.. Bonsal's remarks prove it.
We cannot believe many Democrats of
Carroll can be deceived by such hypocrisy.
Any voter has right to vote for whom he
pleases, and ought to cast his ballot for what
he considers the welfare of the many. The man
who votes for self interest alone, against the
general welfare, is too narrow and contracted
TO be good citizen.
We do not believe there are many narrow
minded voters in the Democratic party Of
Carroll. Democracy is broad and liberal,
and means the greatest good to the greatest
number. any person heretofore voting the
Democrat ticket does not believe in the
money of the constitution, gold and silver;
who believes that the restoration of the coin
age laws as they existed from 1894 to 1878
would be detrimental TO the country, he
should vote for Mckinley and Hobart.
Let him remember, however, when he does
so, he votes for
Protection,
Government by Injunction,
Bond Issues,
Force Bills,
Favored Glasses
And everything that Republicanism stands

1.-THE Palmer and Buckner meeting
held at Bohemia Hall on North Broad
way last night was well attended, and
addresses were made by Messrs. Leigh
Bonsal and William Reynolds. Mr.
Bonsal said:
"Many of Palmer's most ardent sup
porters at the Indianapolis Convention
will, in the present grave crisis, vote for
Mckinley. Palmer and Buckner are
so unselfsh they do not want large vote. y
Mr. Bonsal is the head and front of the
Palmer movement in this state. What he
says is authoritative.
These Palmer Democrats first bolted the
Regular Democratic Ticket, put up another
ticket and propose to bolt that.
And if Palmer and Buckner do not want
many votes, what is the sense of holding
Palmer and Buckner meetings?
How is it to be arranged who shall vote for
Palmer and Buckner and who for Mckinley
and Hobart, in order that Palmer and Buckner
may not get too many Uotesf

Woman and the Old Laws.
Journal

In England less than ninety years ago
it was not unusual for amsn to sell his
wife into servitude.
A common law husband and wife were
one person and that one person was the
husband.
Upon marriage the husband became
entitled to all his wife's goods and chat
tells, also to the rents and profits of her
lands.
He was her lord, bound to supply shell
ter, food, clothes and medicine. He was
entitled to her earnings and the custody
Of her person.
He had power to choose her associates,
separate her from her relatives, restrain
her religious and personal freedom, and
if necessary, chastise her moderately as
though she were his child
The father Of legitimate children was
bound for their maintenance and educa-
ton and was entitled to their labor and
custody.
He had the power to dispose Of them
until they were 81 years Of age by deed
orlegaoy and the testamentary guardians
right to the children's custody superseded
that of their mother. The mother was
entitled to no power, but to reverence
and respect from her children.
She had no legal authority over them
nor right to their service. Only the moth
or Of an Legitimate child was entitled to
its control and custody.
Intestate personal property was divided
equally between males and females, but
a son though younger than all his sisters,
was heir to the whole Of real property.

A Boys Appearance.

Ruth Ashmore, addressing herself to
"rhst Boy Of Nine" March Ladies'
Home Journal, writes that his personal
appearance SHOULD be good. You owe
that to yourself. And whether it is at
the Office or when you are out visiting
you should be clean, wholesome looking
young man. Cleanliness does much
toward godliness, and clean body aids
a clean soul. 1t may not DO in your
power to possess dress suit, but if you
should not, don't borrow one and don't
hire one. Brush up the best clothes
you have, make them immaculate, and
then enjoy yourself and forget your
clothes. Your linen can always be fresh
and clean, and your tie can be in good
style and properly knotted. Never wear
loud scarf and never wear imitation
jewelry. Gentlemen select plain gold
buttons, and simple gold links, and scarf
pins Of the most modest pattern. If you
can afford dress clothes, remember never
to appear in them until after dark. You
may wear, as you like best, either lawn
tie or a black satin one, but the stiff
little bow should be looped by yourself
and not bought ready made"

Cleaning Black Dress Goods.

Nowadays every one wants q black,
gown, and such goods as serge, cheviot
cashmere, Henrietta, ETC., etc., are easily
cleaned. First remove the grease spots
with nsphtha, and remember that this
fluid is very explosive when exposed to
either light or fire. Make lather Of
warm soapsuds, using a good, not strong,
soap, and q teaspoonful Of borax to every
two quarts Of water. Into this dip the
goods up and down and wash them be-
tween the hands; then wiring gently and
pat partly dry; hang in the shade, and
when nearly dry iron on the wrong side
with q moderately warm iron. Always
rinse once in lukewarm water, and iron
until the material is perfectly dry.
Never rub fabric that is being renovated
on the washboard, nor wiring it tightly,
and in using naphths remember that il
roughens the hands, and that after US
ing Il ik IL well TO put vaseline upon
than and 70 wear old glOysa Wssh
