We have heard so often remarks
that if we would run high priced
attractions at popular prices that We
would have more money in the house,
and we have decided to make this test
and will put the admission down to
25 and So cents.
We CLEAN from the Postville Review
that Hon. John T. Stoneman is in
poor health, and that he and his wife
will spend the winter in Florida. We
regret to learn this and before they
go wonld like to cheer them up a few
days at our home.

Being located in your city, am
ready to give private lessons on
piccolo, flute, clarinets, cornets, saxo-
phone, or any other wind instruments

The ladies OF the Cemetery Associ-
alton have relinquished their right to
the hall for Thanksgiving evening to
the band who will give their concert
on that date. The boys appreciate
the favor and will endeavor to give
an entertainment which will not be
inferior to those given by the ladies

Lee j. Glass, the peoples candidate
for Recorder is one of the most COM
petent man for the place that could
have been named. He is good scribe,
faithful and attentive to his work,
careful methodical and painstaking
and could not fail to make model
officer. We hope to see him elected.
and believe If the people knew him as
we'll as he is known to the publishers
of the PLAIN DEALER he would be
overwhelmingly elected to the Office.
The following was taken from the
last issue of the Calmar Courier:
DIR. Heffen received card from A.
w. Isbell at Jacksonville, the other
day. He says he has been sick for
three weeks with typhoid fever. AS
for his being dead he says emit" but
that he is nothing but skin and bones,
having subsisted during that time on
milk and brandy. He further states
tina If all goes we'll he may be up home
on furlough In month or 80.
The people will make no mistake
when they come to the ballot box If
they mark an x In the square In front
of the name of L. H. Burns for Audi
tor. The opposing candidate is a good
man, but l.. n. Burns is a better one
and should be chosen for that reason.
The talk of a second term is quite
pretty when 1t applies to republican,
but when invoked in behalf of a
democrat, as it. was for John L. Bow
man, it was set aside as worthless. OF
this we don't complain. We believe
men who are candidates for public
office should run on their merit and
qualifications. For the Office of Coun-
ty Auditor we believe no man in the
county to be better qualified than Mr.
Burns, aud If this is to govern the
voters Mr.. Burns will be elected. He
is a young man of integrity, character
and correct business habits, and from
his dealings with the public has wor
the confidence and respect of hii
neighbors.
