the North Main street saddler, appears in
these columns. Mr.. Schaeffer seeks tho
Citizens nomination for School Director in
the Third ward, and would make a strong
candidate and an efficient Director.

A LirhtnInr Rod Agent.

A few days ago Deputy sheriff Beddall
made n trip to McAdoo for the purpose Of
levying on the property Of an italian resid-
ing at that place. The levy was made to
cover q debt contracted by the Italians wife
for lightning rods. The woman alleges that
the lightning rod salesman paid her a visit,
and stated that the rods would not only
protect her home during terrible thunder
storms, but would supply them through an
invisible channel with electric lights, steam
heat, etc. BY winding out this hand-painted
gush he fnally succeeded in getting the poor
woman to purchase three lightning rods for a
house not much larger than a hen coop. IL
WINS really a ~laughable sight to the Deputy
Sheriff when he went to levy on the property
and beheld three long, thin lightning rods,
pointing h%eavenward and capable Of deriving
sufficient electricity during a thunder storm
to start a trolley car. The representative of
the oily-tongued tribe sent in his bill for 500,
but the Italian refused to pay it. He then
placed the matter in the hands of a lawyer,
and the unfortunate Italian and his wife
finally came out at the small end Of the horn,
and we're obliged to settle by planking down
about seventy-fve dollars.

26,993 votes Bryan got 6S,342 votes
more than Cleveland, but McKin' ey's

In 1892 Cleveland carried Indiana by
1925. 10 1896 Bryan received 43,OOl
more votes than Cleveland, but McKjn-
ley won by 1873.
In 1892 Harrison carried Ohio by 1,

pluralities, and where only male citi-
citizens possessed the suffrage, there
were more votes cast than there were
males of voting age in 1890"
