Holiday Trade

Holiday Trade
Holiday trade in Weiser was very
fair, considering. Most every
body had dollar or two to invest in
presents for other members OF the
family. 1t was noticeable, however,
that this year the Christmas buyer
had tendency to avoid things that
might be considered of frivilous
nature, and stuck his hard earned
dollars into something that, while
serving rs very nice present, would
also come into good substantial every
day use. Sears did considerable
business in the furniture line; Som.
mercamps report that they were sur
prised themselves at the business
done in their store, the people con-
versant with the advantages to be OBJ
tanned at their price tumbling closing
out sale, and anxious to get the ben
eft of the same, far exceeded expec-
tations. At the corner of Eoff and
Second street people were coming and
going at lively rate the day before
Christmas and Morris Sommer and
assistants were kept busy taking care
of customers. Louis Sommer and
Weiser Mercantile Co. report theil
full share of trade, The hardware
houses, Opp & Davis and Haas Bros
though not to be considered exactly
in the holiday line, received theil
usual amount of patronage. B. M.
Jenney did good stiff business in
the Jewelry line and in both children

sive and useful gifts for older people

FINE CONCERT.
Highly Appreciated Entertainment
Given by Mamie Helen Flynn.


Miss Mamie Helen Flynn, OF Hunt
ington, gave her grand musical con-
cert at the Weiser Opera House last
Tuesday evening as advertised.
while the audience was quite a
fair sized one, the house was by no
means as we'll filed as the high char
acter of the entertainment and the
true genius of Miss Flynn justified.
The audience was highly apprecia-
tive one, and from the time an up
roarious welcome greeted the beauti-
full girl as she made her entrance,
until the final fall of the curtain, the
applause was spontaneous and hearty
us Miss Flynn's heart could wish,
and it was not sentiment, either, but
meritoriously won by the splendid
talents Of the performer.
r Her piano playing was perfect, re-
hecting the genius OF the masters
whose graduates have been her in
structors. Her elocution was a sur
prise and was without doubt far be-
You'd anything in that line ever en-
joyed in Weiser, each succeeding
number appearing better than the
last and all holding the listeners in
silent admiration, which caused the
after applause to be the more vehem-
ent and she was invariably called
back second time.
Little Irene Flynn, in her delight
full songs, also came in for her share
of admiration and encores.
The evenings entertainment wa
much added to by the splendid serv
ice of the Weiser orchestra-M Mrs
Newman, piano; Van Schoick, Is
violin, Gillespie, End violin, Fox, 81
violin and Waterhouse, cornet.

At this juncture the fairies trouped
in, under the lead Of Queen Grace
Jenney. Oh, My but they were the
daintiest, airy, little fairies ever seen
No matter il these fairies, who at

Cune, they were fairies sure and
had the wings, gauzy habiliments and
all the attributes of all the fairies the
SIGNAL ever knew.
When the brownies, through their
captain, had informed the fairies Of
the plight of poor old Santa, with
no more presents for the children, the
fairies were filled with due solicitude
and the queen instructed her subjects
that Santa must be helped out OF his
trouble. Accordingly they proceeded
to weave powerful magic spell over
the bricks of the chimney and they
were changed into nice boxes Of can
dy instantel.
All then proceeded to inform Santa
of the good news. The wrinkled old
fellow (Raynor Coakley) was discov-
cred sitting disconsolate on stump
in the woods, but when informed OF
what had been accomplished with the
bricks, his spirits revived, and every
thing ended happily.
There then appeared eight little
girls-Edith Love, Maud Mcpherson,
Irene Snow, Bessie Kelley, Grace Cor
dele, Cora McCune, and the Jenney

CONTRADICTORY PLATFORMS.

The Roanoke Convention reafiirmed IN
toto the platform OF the Chicago Con-
vention and by resolution Especially en-
dorsed the doctrines OF the national
Democratic party upon the four great is
sues which are before the people Of this
country, namely: the tariff. an income
tax. the regulating Of trusts and the cur
rency"
The Roanoke Convention went a step
farther ard I'm It's platform adopted the
following:
we demand the repeal OF the 10 per
cent. tax on the issues Of State banks.
which pays not n dollar into the Treas
urv of the United States, and which re-
mains upon the statute books as a monu-
ment of arbitrary and pAryerse legisla-
ton. inspired by monopoly and conceived
in distrust Of the people
Now 1t is a we'll known fact that the
Chicago Convention absolutely refused TO
incorporate in it's platform a clause de-
handing the repeal Of the ten per cent
tax on state Bank issues and adopted
resolution demanding that 'all paper
which is made legal tender for public and
private debts or which is receivable for
duties to the United states shall be issued
by the government Of the United States
and shall be redeemable in coin" The
Roanoke platform therefore occupies the
unique position OF endorsing IS whole
the Chicago platform and especially It's
announcements "a 10 currency and yet
containing n planlk which repudiates one
OF the principal planks Of the Chicago
document.
Congressman Jones says that the Chi
cago platform is Democratic law and
that no State organization has the right
10 change it. but 1t is evident from the
foregoing that the Roanoke Convention
did not take that view.
