The Torrens system of land registra- ton which has been adopted by Cook county, Illinois, and in some other western localities. is generally favored by savings and loan associations as simplifying the work of registering land titles. A recent article in a Chicago paper says that tho attention of the legislature in Ohio, Iowa and Mary land has been directed to the system. In Ohio it is pointed out that each bor- rower in the seven or eight hundred savings and loan associations in that state has to pay from s15 to s25 to the association attorney for examining his title to realty which he offers as secur- ity for his loan. Under the Torrens system of transfers the loan associa- ton secretary could readily ascertain

More than four hundred retail drug gists of Chicago have combined to fight in a practical way the cutting of the prices of drugs and medicines by de- partment stores. and to combat at the same time the sale of medicines by the manufacturers and wholesale dealers to these stores. They have or- ganized company, leased a nanufac- tory, and will begin at once the com pounding of all kinds of blood-puritiers, cough mixtures, tonics, and all other medicines, the making of which is just now monopolized by companies who have proprietary rights over certain mix lures which bear diverse names All the drug stores in the combination will draw their supplies from the factory at prices made so low by the economy of operation that they expect to undersell the tcut" rates of the department stores.

Reverend John Crowly of Des Arc
addressed the Republican club here
Thursday night. Mr.. Crowly made
some astonishing assertions. among
them one that the Democratic party
saved the onion in 1S60-astonishing
because they emanated from Repub-
licau.
We have often heard the assertion
that the Democratic party tried to de-
stroy the Union. but never before
heard Republican speaker assert that
that party (Democratic) had saved the
Union.
However, this large chunk of taffy
could not obscure the golden hook and
the Hanna string that held it, for the
speaker gave his Democratic friends to
understand that in order to share this
great honor they would have to join
the yellow-hammers, as they were the
only true and loyal Democrats. He
dwelt upon the fact that 5000 loyal (?l
Democrats at Indianapolis had decIar-
ed the honor of the nation demanded
the defeat of Mr.. Bryan.
The anxiety OF our Republican
friends to swell the ranks of the yell
low-hammers, if it were not for the
serious nature Of our campaign. would
be amusing.
Some of our Republican friends put
on a wise look and assert that value
can't be legislated into any thing.

much thunder and lightning accom-
panied nearly all the storms. 1t has
just cleared off after four days and
nights of damp. dismal weather-rain-
ing almost continuously-just such
as is weather severe on all invalids, es-
pecially such as are afflicted with rheu-
matism and nervous ailments. Much OF
the corn that had been blown down was
badly damaged by the frequent and long
continued rains.
Colds and coughs have been preva-
lent in this locality since the equinoc-
tial storm, caused by the sudden
change of temperature at that time.
Most all the farmers hereabouts have

hundreds had to stay away. for there
was not place TO set 3 foot. After
the concert was over the stage was
cleared and here came those Eve ele-
plants. the old father in the lead. and
all holding to the tail of the one before
him. Here they marched around the
stage several times. At the word OF
command they all laid down on the
stage to rest The keeper was a
small. boyish looking young man. AS
those great animals lay there the
keeper woald go and sit down on them
and lay down on them. and pat their
faces. and talk 70 them. After awhile,
they all got up. and a lot of big tubs
like big barrels were brought in, and
those big things would walk up and
get on top of those tubs and bow to
the audience; then stand up on their
hind feet and dance on top of the tub.
Then big teeter-tooter was brought
in and one elephant walked up on it
until it would just balance; then one
behind would walk up and push the
forward one on, and then they would
teeter up and down, just like children.
After a great many such performances.
table was set with cloth on it, and
a plate at each end of the table. and
one of those tubs for seats. Then the
old fathers With big pair of specks
on and big napkin on, took his seat
at one end of the table, and young
elephant seated at the other end. He
had a great cap on his head and big
bib. The keeper placed plate with
big cake before each, and said to the old
father What will you have to drink"
s.Wine?" so he was handed a bottle
with the cork out and he took it and
put it iG his mouth and drank. The
keeper turned to the young one and
said, What will you take?" Wine.
mo. my child, you can't have wine.
And that young one bowed just like
spoiled child, and with his trunk
knocked his plate clear off the stage
The keeper went to him, and with his
bib wiped its eyes and said, '.Now,
you stop crying and you shall have
some warm milk with sugar in it," A
waiter brought in big glass jar full
of milk with a rubber tube, just such
as mothers give their babies, only the
tube was an inch through and two feet
long. That young one drank his milk
just like baby. When he had taken
the things away from the young one.
the keeper took his bib and wiped
his mouth and patted his cheeks, just
like any fond mother. And such
shout and screaming and hollowing
those thousand of young ones made /
never heard before. After the ele-
plant show was over we started for
home. felt as If l had seen enough
for one day. 7. P. r.

An examination of the election laws
last week disclosed the fact that the
Republicans of this county were with
out county ticket! The Australian
law recognizes tickets chosen in one of
three ways: by primary election. del
egate convention, or by petition. The
Republicans had nominated their can
didates at mass meeting, mole not
recognized by law, and therefore the
ticket could not be legally filed. Con-
sequently a delegate convention has
been called to meet at the courthouse
on Tuesday, October 13th-tbe town
ship meetings to be held the Saturday
previous. We presume, of course, the
candidates chosen at the mass meet
ing will be Endorsed.
Ex-Gov. Fishback of Arkansas de-
livered forcible and telling speech
here last Monday. The courthouse
was filed to overlooking with the solid
yeomanry of the county, who listened
with close attention to him, and only
regretted that the address was not of
greater length. 1t was a calm presen-
tatiOn of facts and figures which must
appeal to the reason of all who heard
him. We shall not attempt to give a
resume of his speech He INDUCED in
no flights of oratory, but his forceful ar
guments called forth frequent bursts OF
applause. There was no "hurrah"
about it, but that earnestness on the
part of the speaker aud audience which
augers we'll for Iron county in the ides
of November.
A man named Kennish and Hon.
Jno. H. Raney spoke in the courthouse
Tuesday night to variegated crowd
variegated both as to color and poll
tics. The usual flim-fam and clap
trap, ana stale anecdote supplied the
place of that earnest thought and sin
cerity which should characterize the
discussion of the grave Issues before
the people. The tariff was made the
main subject, but, toward the latter
end, one of the speakers did explain
why Bismarck wrote that letter that's
worrying the goldbugs. 1t seems that
when Germany adopted the gold STAN
dard, she melted all her silver coins
into bullion, and now wants to sell it
to America as soon as the Free Coinage
is accomplished! And crafty old Bis
marck, for this reason, is helping to
elect Bryant! We venture to give
this unique explanation in full, albeit
we no doubt lay ourself liable to the
law of copyright.
