fourteen years. In honor of this birth
day anniversary a private dog show
will be held to which the neighbors.
with their household guardians in the
region of the "ravine" have all been in
vited. Another reason for the soiree
is that the dog to be honored is just

into it's body by some unknown. The
owner Of the animal is a prominent
gentleman and his family value very
highly the canine. The hired girl of the

vious to that time her friends never

SO well in health did she seem. The blow
Is thus more greatly felt.
The departed was born In Scranton
twenty-seven years ago and she had re-
sided here since making many friends,
chiefly in the ranks of church -goers.
Her church was her only diversion; she
devoted most of the moments. used by
some for pleasure, for the good of her
self and the erring. UP to the time of
her illness Miss Price was saleslady
at Mears & Hagen's store. where she
was favorite with employers and en-
ployes. Miss Jennie Price, sister Of the
deceased. was at Lake Winola, on a

Our Stock in Trade.

There may be some who may demur
at the rule of the Signal to charge for
all advertising OF fairs, festivals or en-
tertainments when an admission is
charged or money received, as set
forth in Il notice ut the head OF our 10
cal columns to-day. but WHEN
they look At The matter from Il
business point of view they must admit
its justness. The columns of the Sig
nal represent IA cash value. Its pub
fisher cannot, nor can the publisher of
any paper conducted nn business prin-
ciples, afford to give advertising or
"notices' free, any mere than Il mer
chant can toss over the counter free

A newspaper is a Legitimate business
institutlon; its columns are stock in
trade, and so far as the Signal is con
cerned announced announcements mnst
be paid for. no matter in what part OF
the paper they appear. The manage

in the shape Of job printing, etc, are

The New York journal remarks that
the ferocity with which the trusts are
being attacked by newspapers that up
TO the day of the election we've working
hand-in-h hand with them TO elect Me
klnley, is well calculated to puzzle the
inexperienced, but the explanation is
simple enough. The paoer that the
trusts value is one which. as II steady
thing, shows a I!ea:t all palpitating with
sympathy fir IA plundertd public, and
keeps its tel Nil in good older 10y snash-
lug them atr'he combinations that do the
plundeiing.s Thus is Il rcpntatinn for
honesty apd public spirit l.snIrup,which
can haontlized when tae right time
comaiJ To be against these trusts when
they are in no peril, blat ready to spring
to their help in thet1four of danger
that is the sctpeaatus When the hour ar
rives it is discovered that great us are
the rapacity, The crimina'ity of the
trusts, there is some issue-"the nation
al honor" say-which so immeasurably
transcends in Importance the trust that
the duty 0t bringing these latter to JUS
tice must be deferred to more cunven-
lent season. Thus the wheel goes round
with the trusts always at the top and
the people always at the bottom.

Thursday evening Mr.. II. j. Liable
was cleaning can that contained gaso-
line oil, having washed the can for two
days with hot water, and after the can
had been wiped dry, and every bit of
gasoline was thought to have been re-
moved, Mr.. Liable approached a candle
to the opening of the ca u to look into it
to see if it was perfectly clean, but be-
fore lie had a chance TO peep into the
can an explosion took place. But, for
tunately, Mr.. Liable was only slightly
burned on the right hand. This shows
how dangerous it ia to handle gasoline
oil, and those who use daily for cooking
and other purposes, should use every
precantion, or else they may suffer
very serlnns conseqnences.-St. Martin
Vile Messenger.

The mayor aud counciltnen Of Thibo-
daux, that were elected on the Sd of
this month. while having no opposition
at this time, not name receiving a sin
gle scratch, are now meeting with con-
siderable legal technicalities nr eyac-
tions. At the time it was not deemed
necessary to hold the election in accord
ance with the general election law of
1896, commonly known as the Austria
liam Ballot System. In consequence of
not having complied with this law the
Governor refused to issue commissions
to the gentlemen elected as our town
lawmakers. 1t is claimed, however,
that the commissions are not necessary
as the charter of the town allows the
aldermen to take the oath of Office and
assume their duties without being com
mlssioned by the Governor. This point
is now under consideration. II it
should be decided that it is best to have
commissions another town election
will be held next month.

time in Alexandria at the Opera House

a performance of the Barlow Brothers
Minstrels.
We are advised that it went into ope-
ration with but little friction or resist
ance, the ladies, with but two or three
exceptions, as soon as they We're nOti-
fed of the existence of such Il statute,
readily yielded to TIE majesty of the
law and removed their head ar,wheth-
er of high or low degree Hence, those
who had paid their money got value re-
ceived, in the nature of full and un0b-
structed view Of the performance, SO far
as the ladies were concerned. at least.
"Dudey's High Hat Law" will he sub
mitted TO here, as elsewhere, because
the ladies are all law abiding at all
times and will never attempt to avail
themselves of prohibited rights.-Alex-
