Gently. many of the citizens of Taylor
have built and are building storm
houses and pits for the protection of
themselves and their families, and tor

borne's coons, ''are gittin' skeered."
The election for five trustees of the
Taylor public schools today is passing
off very quietly, very few votes being
polled. and the closing of the saloons is
the only noticeable feature of the day.

lie to the claim of j.. B. Cheadle that the
old soldiers OF Clinton county are for him.
The Glover Leaf Mckinley Club had a
enough to send terror to the hearts of local
Democrats.
In their ranks were many former Demo-
Gratis. Senator Foraker paid a glowing
tribute to Hon. Charles b. Lands, whose
election to Congress over the Populistic

might be said. Senator Jones, of Arkansas:
the chairman, is the target of all kinds of
jokes on the part of the Chicago press. His
organization is evidently suffering from
general debility. Absence of good Judgment

headquarters. The Palmer House contains
the workshop of the gold Democrats, and it
is not too much to say their unseltish,

cause entities them to the name OF National
