Fort Scott Lanterns to Get Even With Al.
legged Traitors.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 6.-The most sar-
castle article resulting from the election
Tuesday is from Fort Scott. where the
Democrats knitted the Populist ticket.
and the Republicans won. II is from the
Fort Scott Lantern and reads:
But it was fusion OF Republicans
and Democrats, church people and sa-
loonists We congratulate our neighbor,
the Monitor, on its splendid victory. 1t
means much 10 that petty ring OF boss
ism. II means that ii is all false about
the citizens of Fort Scott and Bourbon
county caring for a shortage Of revenue
and increase of taxes. This is demon
strated by the defeat OF Cochran. It
means that the people love 20 be f1eeced.
and that the Monitor is a successful
preacher OF that doctrine. Yet We con-
gratulate il. We believe in majority
rule. and submit as gracefully in this in
stance as We ever did to the betrayal OF
our primeval parents In the garden Of
Edenic purity and simplicity.
The Democrats fought nobly! For
the Republicans! Perpetrated their own
suicide, SO far as Bourbon county is con-
cerned. Aside from voting with Repub-
Leans, not a man OF them ever offered
mis- services in the county campaign. The
saloon element have dug their own grave

The Value Of a Reason.
By VIM. Woodhouse. Jr.)

In a town not a thousand miles from
New York is an advertising manager
who insists that whenever bargains are
offered good reasons for the lowering
of the prices shall be inserted in the
advertisement The proprietor is with
him heart and soul, and always insists
that the real reason shall be given.
II goods are cut because they are
shelf-worn, he says so; if because
they are out of style, he says so; il be-
cause he simply wants to get rid Of them
he says so. Whatever may be the reason
that reason is stated. There are mer-
chants in that same town-successful
ones. too-who differ with him. They
say It's best not to advertise defects, but
advertise the bargains, and let the peo-
ple find out the wherefore when the store
is reached. These merchants are honest,
1 am positive, and would not defraud a
buyer out Of single cent. They simply
are afarid If they advertise the defect
that people won't buy.
And that is just where they are
wrong.
IneEc do always OuyciS WIN VIII
Jump at bargain, and who are smart
enough to know that there must be
some good reason why the prices are
lowered They don't care il the goods
are a trihe mussed, or shop-worn, or
out Of style; they're not sticklers for
fashion, and good reason for the price
cutting satisfies them. The before
mentioned advertising manager and
storekeeper are just shrewd enough to
know this. The consequence is that
whatever bargains are offered are sold
sold quickly, too, as rule. There
isn't store in that town SO entirely
free from has-beens and out of dates.

That There Are All Kinds of Ways Of

Vienna, Nov. 6-At the meeting Of the

finance pronounced a grave warning OF
danger involved in a suspension OF the
constitution unless the provisional COM
promise bill was adopted. After explain
ing that a compromise would already
have been finally concluded but for the
existing difference in respect to the pro-
portionate financial contributions of the
two eountries-the Austrian government
maintaining that the Hungarian contri-
button should be increased-and declar-
ing that the existing currency relations
and customs union must be maintained,
owing TO foreign treaties, he said that,
as an old member OF the reichsrath, ne
should deeply deplore the result il pollti-
cal circumstances compelled the govern
ment 20 enforce a compromise by other
than parliamentary means, but there
were circumstances, he declared. which
were materially stronger tnan all forms
In conclusion, ne said:
DO not force the governmental do
not mean the government of Count

A Local Affair.

Sunday is usually long day in
which one finds but few things that
furnish entertainment. But on Sun
day next, Sept, 18th, Prof. f. p.
Hagal, the king of aernauts will make
a balloon ascension and parachute
jump at the state fair grounds, to
which an admission fee of 10 cents
will be asked. Prof. Hagal has been
quite unfortunate in the past few
years, having lost the second wife only
recently while making a parachute
jump. He arrived in Salem only Il
few weeks since and when about to
make an ascension his balloon and
parachute attachment, his only means
of support, caught fire and were COM
pletely destroyed. Undismayed at
such lll-luck, Prof. Hagal set about
constructing another balloon which he
has chrIstened "The Salem" This
is the first balloon ever constructed in
Salem and all will be more or less in
terested IN the success of the venture.
The ascension will positively be made
rain or shine and will no doubt be
witnessed by large crowd. Prof.
Hagal has arranged with the state
fair management to give daily ascen-
sions during the state fair.

A Live Town.

Henry Lang, the popular salesman
for the wholesale grocery house of
Lang s. Co, Of Portland, was in the
city on his weekly visit today, GO
ing to Portland on the asternoon
train. Mr.. Lang reports big
business with the local merchants,
which he attributes partly to the
large army of hop pickers, who find
employment in the hop yards about
Salem. Mr.. Lang says Salem is much
livelier than any other valley point,
the other cities being comparatively
quiet Such statement from a
travelling man, who transacts busl-
ness in all cities throughout the val
ley, may be relied upon.
