Tcm Watson, who was piece
OF the :.Popocratic vice.presidential
ticket last fall, has tired of the
figures "16 to H." and now his
demand is that the currency of the
country shall be just $50 per capita.
He proves that that is the right
figure just as readily as he used to
demonstrate that 16 to 1 was the
only ratio that silver and gold
could be coined at.

Editor Mcdonald noticed
this news, and his paper said:
"While the main features Of the
above telegram are no doubt true,
it should be stated that Mr.. Nc.
Donald has neither resigned nor
been requested to resign by the

this report is the fact that all the
papers which speak oft refer to
it as a Resignation" In view
of Republican protestations of re-
gard for veterans of the war, it will
look better to announce that an

signed, rather than that he was
removed because of his political

The pompadour style has the lead, how
ever. and few curling tendrils on the
forehead soften the otherwise severe
effect and make it more becoming to
most faces.
The pompadour is not confined to the
front this season, as it extends all
around the head, and the cushion put
underneath in front is often arranged in
the back as we'll. In all coiffures pretty
hair ornaments are conspicuous fea-
ture. Side combs are universally worn,
and tortoise shell, either plain or set
with gems, is the most favored. Various
other designs, which are purely for Or
nament, are made Of jet and steel and
silver set with Partisan diamonds, and
amber pins and combs are extremely
pretty in dark hair. A very unusual
mode of hairdressing, fashionable in

tion suggested by some Of Gainsbor-

It was an old time shout ing Methodist meeting and as the preach. CT talked, hallelujahs and amens were heard on all sides.
 There ss such wonderful power in these meetings that after the people have been dismissed at least two times the preacher has to leave before the people will go home.
 Everybody pronounces the meeting a success from a spiritual standpoint last night. There were two or three canver- 1siens and at least six people who claim d to have been sanctifed since yesterday The services are held at 3:30 in the af- ternoon and o'clock in the evening. s
