THIS is QUITE NEW,

Comfortable Couch.

Comfortable Couch.
OF three barrels, some boards, a few
screws and tacks, some draping mate
tial and an old mattress, comfortable
and good-looking couch can be made.
To make il obtain three good, strong
sugar barrels. and arrange them at reg
ular distance apart, the heads and
bottoms should be fastened secure
" in place with nails, and to them at
tach two side runners or rails three or
four inches wide and six feet long. Use
Itout screws for the purpose. and drive
six or eight through the strip and into
the head of each barrel.
The two end barrels should be joined
first and afterward the middle one. This
precaution is to give an even bearing on
the floor.
Two more strips, each one inch and a
half square, are to be fastened to the un-
der sides Of the barrels at the ends near
the heads and bottoms. This rail will
rest on the floor and prevent the couch
from tipping like a cradle, as the bulged
sides of the barrel would cause it to do
II It. were not for these strips.
To the top of the barrel a platform is
TO be attached. This is 30 inches wide
and six feet six inches long; it is made
of matched board and fastened together
with several battens arranged across
the under side. Rails similar to those
placed along the floor are fastened TO
the top of the barrels along either side,
to prevent the platform tipping on the
tops of the barrels. At one end an in
cline is made similar to the effect shown
in the figure, and when the construc-
tional part is thus far completed the
framework is ready 10 be upholstered.
Obtain an old hair mattress not more
than 30 inches wide--a single bed mat
tress is the right size-and tie il fast to
the top of the platform. Over this draw

NOTICE

The attention OF parents and teachers is call

shall have been duly vaccinated before being
received in any school,
The provisions Of the Act include all schools,
whether public or private, and although Il is
believed that 1t has been rather better OBJ
served In this county than in many others Of
the State, yet in the considerable proportion
OF instances II has been disregarded or evaded.
Although there does not exist at the present

the limits OF the State, yet II has prevailed in
the United States in 9 far greater number Of
localities than is usual at this season Of the
year, and may at any time make Its appear

Japan Silver.

The pop papers are saying very
little about the prosperity of Japan
since thas country decided TO aban-
don the silver standard and take her
stand among the gold using nations.
They have demonstrated during the
ppst year that Japan was the fore
most among the oriental nations,
that her affairs were managed with
broad craftsmanship, that her rulers
could give those of this country
points. Their demonstration is now
complete. Japan IS civilized and
progressive. She has thrown of the
cheap and depreciating dollar. She
is laying the foundation for a greater
prosperity.

Historical Facts.

Vow aud then a populist news
paper whose editor was a beneficiary
Of the grab game at Pierre raises rs
voice in defense Of the lare legisia
ture, but the great mass Of ~populists
over the state are either silent or
openly express their disgust and
contempt for the acts of their chosen
representatives. They realize that
their principles have been made a
mockery; that their party IS no
longer aggressive but defensive, and
that they have been used to put into
power a set of men whose chief ann
was not to institute the reforms that
the party demanded, but TO advance
their personal interests. They know
that IN the election of Kyle their self
constituted leader at Washington
has been shorn of his power; that
their governor has made an unenvia-
BILE record for bribery, coercion and
incompetency; that their members IN
the Legislature cared nothing for the
constitution, for party platforms or
party principles, but sacrificed every
thing to put themselves and their
friends within reach of the treasury.
They know that Notwithstanding
their eeusure of previous legislatures
for extravaganza, and notwithstaud-
ing their professions Of economy and
reform. the last Legislature created
Offices purely for piunder, raised the
pay of It's employees over $500.

speaker and spent $4,000 o than

true reformer who joined the party

In the record made he sees not only
failure to accomplish reform, but the
downfall of the party.

And still further, is it
not the heighth of impudence and
gall for the fellows who e re ready
to betray their party by making a
deal with the republicans on the
senatorship to undertake to read old
time populists our of the party
simply because the latter refused to
go in with them in their schemes?
III kicking on such schemes, and
against a ring and machine which
had for It's purpose the creation of
new Offices and the grabbing of
spoils, is announcing populism,
then the editor Of the Review has
certainly done so. He has been
lighting rings and political schemes
for years, and IS quite as ready to
fight a populist machine and ring as
he has been to fight a republican,
and in kicking on the new populist
machine it IS quite natural for the
latter to denounce him as a traitor

candidates for the municipal Offices
70 be fiIIei next Tuesday, and are
e~ndeavoring Il make it a reason
why their selection of candidates
should be supported The action
of the committee was not taken
hastily or in any bitter partisan
apirit. The republican party Of
this city con aims within It's ranks
as good material for city officers as
can be found without. But the argu-
ment is advanced, and very pretty il
seems at first glance, that party
lines should not be drawn in city
politics, but they always have been
and always viii be, directly or In
directly. The past history of city
campaigns reveals the fact that u
friends, the opposition, have always
willingly entered into q general
non-partisan caucus, and il things
came their way, they abided by the
action Of the caucus; is not, up
went q ticket, and the fight result
ing vas none the less bitter than
could have possibly occurred on
party lines. The famous contest
IN the third ward last spring is an
instance which is fresh in the minds
OF the citizens. A dirtIer or iercer
struggle never took place, in fact a
national, state or county contest
could not approach 1t in bitterness
or yIndictIveness. Friendships we're
severed and enmities formed, and
vet party Ii nes'' we're not drawn
in this instance. 1t was simply a
case of the regular populist boiling
of a citizens caucus because Of fail
ure 70 secure the nomination. The
republican party does not propose
TO be a party to any more affairs of
this nature, and it Is TO prevent a
recurrence of such that it has de-
clded TO act as announced. Per-
sonalitIes should be eliminated aud
the party, not the individual, forced
TO bear the brunt of the battle. If
Il party fails to put in nomination
clean representative citizens the
fault "a De properly and justly
laid at It's door. The issue is not
whether Webster is republican or
not. il is whether or not these per-
sonal fights be done away with
and If it cannot be made possible
Tor a citizen to accept q nomination
for . city Office, that in the main ia
bardensome, without being hound
ed or bled to death. Ii entering q
citizens caucus meant the nomina-
ton Of but n ticket, consequently
no after struggle, the case would
be different, Tut it never did nor il
never viii aslong AZ the professional
pop agitators can rule differently.
The republicans are not afraid to
meet the issue and have issued
their call, signed by those in
authority. In doing so they have
kept within their privilege. It is
the privilege of the popuIist party
to do likewise, but they prefer TO
hide the cloven hoof of popullsm
behind the title of citizen. With
this the republicans End no fault.
They have simply mapped out their
own course and submit it to the
people for endorsement or rejection.
