DOWNEY.
Mckinley Speakers Call Out Cheers
for Candidate Bryan.

DOWNEY, Oct. 3.-The Mckinley
campaign was opened here last Wednes-
day evening, amid the booming of anvils
and the squeak of tin horns. FrankeIs
hall was filed to overlooking, at least
three-fourths of the audience being
followers of Bryan.
The first speaker introduced was
George w. Burton of Los Angeles.
Among the first of the speakers re-
marks was the assertion that "all of
the Downey delegates to the county
Democratic convention went there gold
men, and after hearing a short speech
from Steve White, returned shouting
for silver"
Inc speaker was promptly called
down on the assertion, whereupon he
fastened to say that he did not vouch
for the truth of the same. The speaker
deplored the arraignment of the masses
against the classes. or vicn versa. Mr.
Burton was vehement in the assertion
that he is a Democrat.
"A. E. Davis, candidate for supervisor
made a short speech, after which tho
orator of the evening was presented.
Mr.. A. De Luer, who took up most of
his time celebrating on his own and
Major McKinley's war records. At the
close of his remarks Judge Carpentel
was called for. None of the previous
speakers had mentioned the name of
Bryan. The judge, however, had just
begun his speech when he proceeded
to say Mr.. Bryan was a conscientious
man." when the audience almost lifted
the roof off with applause. The meeting
was more or less disturbed by some boys
with horns.

SANTA BARBARA.
Silver Sentiment Steadily Gaining in
Strength-General News.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 3.-A large
audience greeted Hon. C. A. Barlow,
candidate for congress, and Hon. Geo.
S. Patton this evening at Channel City
Opera house. 1t was one of the most
enthusiastic meetings of the campaign
and Mr.. Barlow expresses qualification
at the excellent prospects for the sue
cess of free silver in this county. He is
no stranger in Santa Barbara. 1t was
mainly through his influence and that
of Assemblyman w. L. Talbot of this
county that the Santa YneZ county bill
passed the assembly in 1898 by an over
whelming majority. The people of the
Lompoc, Los Alamos and Santa Ynez
valleys are ready to recognize Mr.. Bar
lows splendid services in their beim Ii,
and will give him sweeping majority.
The distinguished speakers ably dis
cussed the issues of the present contest
and made an excellent impression upon
the people of this city. Based upor the
results of the election in 1894, Demo-
cratic and Populist fusion outnumbers
the Republican vote in this county by
300, but conservative estimates, fur
nished by local politicians indicate that
Barlow will carry Santa Barbara by 500
majority.

THE WALTZ TWO-STEP.
The New Dance That Is to Delight
Society This Winter.

Six new dances received the stamp of
approval at the convention of dancing
masters which has just closed in Brook
Ign. The American Society of Profess
sors of Dancing has accepted and adopt
ed by vote the following: The XRay
Lanciers. Esprit dAmerique, Harvard

five ma9ters of the dance meet Terps

soul was narrowed with doubt Would

their task. and leave society to plod on
half-heartedly through last seasons
dances?
WALTZ Two-sTEP.
But no! Their inventive and artistic
minds had been at work throughout the
summer. Prof Oscar Duenweg of
Terre Haute was the first to be sue
cessful among originators. He has
evolved a charming dance. the waltz
two-step. one that is destined to take"
Immediately. perhaps to supplant the
now extremely popular two-step. 1t is
danced to two-step music, and in both
open and closed positions. The first
half is open; that is, the two dancers
movement consists of skip and a
glide. The second part, in closed posi-
ton. is the ordinary two-step movement.
1t is graceful poem in the saltatory
art. but it has one tremendous draw
back. the thing which society has re-
peatedly frowned upon, the thing which
means ultimate death to the dance
that is, it's double nature, half open and
half closed.
The waltz two-step is danced as fol-
lows, according to an accurate bulle-
tin:
Tempo. ga, position. both face in the
same direction, gentleman presents
right hand to partners left; lady hold
ing dress with right hand. arm curved

and one-half turn 1.-TWO bars to each
half turn): this will bring gentleman
on right side of partner; repeat above
from beginning, commencing with right
foot. Complete dance requires sixteen
bars. Counterpart for lady.
Bringing out new dance is like
launching a play or book. 1t is all
sort of hazardous speculation. One can
not tell how the darling public will ac-
cept it," said Professor j. E. MARITIME.
They may like it and they may not 1t

qualities are highly meritorious. The

lucky FELLOW, and 1t has simply whirled
its own self fast into the hearts of soci-
ETY.. to remain there for the coming sea-
son without doubt. to vie with the
universal favorite the waltz. Though

Advertising In Dull rimes.

How to do this successfully tor a gen.
eral retail store is difficult subject to
properly decide. It is at the same time
a subject upon which there is great
diversity of opinion. At these times
some merchants largely increase their
advertising expenditures. Others con-
tinue about the same as in busy times.
Business discretion should, OF course,
be used by all. but as rule we believe
that those who do the most advertising
at these times have the best of the ar
gument and can bring up more good
reasons to support their side than the
Others. If the purpose is to draw trade.
then whv not advertise when you need
trade the most? In dull seasons more
Inducements should be held out to the
Customer than in brisk seasons. More
care should be used in selecting arti-
.cles to be advertised and more thought
should be given to advertisements; but,
however you may view this subject,
for we know great many shrewd
business men view 1t in exactly the
opposite wav from which we have
mentioned, do not, under any circum-
stances, drop your advertising entirely.

The report comes quite direc tly that
Merriam and Nelson desire to take no
part in the state campaign this year,
and that Clough. knowing this, and not
desiring to make the fight alone, is doing
his best to interest them in his behalf,
but with poor success so far as Nelson is
c,'nc,rned, at least. Nelson, it 10 said,
takes the position that he has done
enough for Clough in helping him to be-
come governor, and does not owe him
anything more. tits also suspected that
Mr.. Nelson sees the inevitable fate of the
old combination and is sharp enough to
cut loose from it before it goes down.
