Political matters are very dull in the 4th dis
trict Just now. People appear to take 1t for
granted that Mckinley and Bryan Will bead
the two leading tickets. Dewey don't seem to
have any followers, but there are some hePup-
licans who would like to see ex- President Har-
rison nominated, believing that he would be
the strongest man with the people.
All the taxpayers with whom have talked
think the County Commissioners will do well
to cut down expenses, but they do not approve
of reducing the salaries of poorly paid officials
while those who get the largest pay are still
further provided for by acts of the Legislature.
The opinion is that enough money should be
levied to put the salaries of the subordinates
back to the old scale. V. OBSERVER.

Some Seasonable Precautions.-SpriDg
should be q season of renewed IMMIGRATION.
With the bursting of buds and return of the
BIRDS human beings should feel new flow of
life and health, says an exchange. Yet at this
time there is much sickness. There are too
many cases of pneumonia. Instead of gaining
new strength, many persons are dying before
their time. This condition must be the result
of errors in hygiene and ignorance OF natural
laws. After keeping dwellings at high tenn
perature during the winter, many families put
out fires in the spring while the winds are still
chilling and damp. They open the windows
with recklessness and leave off undertaking
before it is safe to do so. The consequence is
that the weak, narrow-chested men, women
and children find the spring season a menace,
instead of blessing Not only in the evenings
but OH many days in April artificial heat in
our dwellings is necessary to health. Economy
in this regard may mean loss of health or life.
The wise housekeeper will watch the Their
mometer and the winds and state of the at
mosphere. A little care should put stop to
the annual spring sacrifice of life from pneu-
mona and kindred ills:
