8. 81. Rollman and Korb Panne-
baker caught string Of ~ fish in the
river some days ago. Three Of the |
fish were suckers, and each Of the
three measured 81 inches in length.
The other fish caught were nearly all
bass.
A contract is considered as bindin z
unless it can be shown that fraud was
employed in making the contract,
but the Chicago Democratic Convsn-
ton, proposes to 60 back Of contracts
and upset the established order of
things. The trouble that such q
state Of affairs would produce cannot
be imagined. The country the past
three years has had more than peck
Of troublesome hard times. If they
elect the silver lined State rights Sc.
secesh ticket nominated at Chicago
last week, they will have to undergo
at least four pecks of troublesome
hard times.
The State rights sesesh Democrats
controlled the Democratic National
Convention at Chicago laet week.
They were frst class SET of frauds.
They defrauded all who were not in,
with them. To get twe-third con-
troll Of the National Convention, they
threw out the regularly elected dele
gates from Michigan, and put in
delegation Of silver State rights Sc
cession Democrats. They are fana-
tical enough to believe that if they
hold up silver and shout fres silver
that the people will permit them to
commit any deed of fraud and permit
them to declare for any kind Of rsvo:
lutionary work.
The idea Of the Democratic party
presuming to set itself up as the par
ty to arrange the money affairs cf
this Republic, is enough to make a
brass image grin. 1t is about as fit
to fix up the money matters as o cord
wood cutter is competent to properly
amput .te q crushed leg and dress It
and save tie life of the man whose
leg has been crushed. The only
thing the Democratic party il good
at is smashing things. It got up o
smashing rebellion and latterly
Cleveland got up a smashing panic.
II you expect such q smssher to dx
the money question right you'll be
disappointed. They cant do it.
About P. NJ, on the evening of
the 3rd inst, FIRE was discovered in .
wood-house, adjoining the carpet fac
tory. Tie alarm was given. Bert
Hipkle was the first to shout fire on
Main street. People rushed to the
rescue and buckets were first used,
and the fire was in that way held in
check till ex-Sheriff Noble ran Q line
of hoes from his place across the lot
and turned ON the water, which soon
extinguished the fire. The flames
had burnt through the roof which
was about IL feet above whore tie
Ere started. The fire originated in
q pile of jute yarn that had been col
ored in dye Of logwood and coperas
in the forenoon, and had been hung
on line outside Of the building to
dry. The yarn had bsen carried in
not more than Is minutes till the FIRE
broke out. 1t is believed the fire was
started by squib.
The so-called Democratic Conyen-
ton that nominated Bryan last weel
for President at Chicago refused to
p ASS a resolution endorsing Presi
dent Cleveland, but instead of en-
dorsing him they condemned him,
for sending United States troops in.
to Chicago when the mob had CON
troll Of that city. They said it was a
violation of States rights for Frssi
dent Cleveland to send troops there
That is what the rebels said every
tine the Union troops entered 6
;souiherh state il rebellion. They
said yen dare not do that. It is moi
constitutional; it is 40 invasion ol
States rights. The Chicago Demo
cratic Convention resurrscted the
old JEFF Davis doctrine. It is almost
enough TO bring jeff Davis out of his
grave to shout with delight over a
Democratic Convention proclamins
one Of his pet doctrines, that Of
States rights, the very doctrine un.
der which tho slave holders rebellion
was organized, and war made against
the United States government.
One of The oldest business men in

long years Mr.. Howe carried on the
blacksmith, business With satisfaction
to his patrons, and has always been
an exemplary citizen in his walk and
conversation. But the infrmity OF

business that makes such heavy de-
mands on the physical man and
therefore he sold his smithing bust.
