EXIT ACETYLENE.

Early risers Wednesday morning
could have seen, when passing along
Main street. the big acetylene plant OF
the Spencer store setting out Of doors
alongside the building decorated with a
small national flag. Like Belshazzar,
~ had been weighed and found want
sins. What 1t wants mostly, nov, is q
house to cover It and protect 1t from
the frost. The plant has been given a
long and thorough trial, but has never
been satisfactory, the light being
hardly bright enough, most Of the time,
to penetrate the badegg odor caused
by the escaping gas. The news Wells

AFTER A POPS WHISPERS.


There will be great time in Mitch

election bet The Sioux City man will

that bet will be paid or there VIII be

made when the campaign was young
the Sioux City man betting Frank
Brandt, a druggist of Mitchell, that
Mckinley would be reelected. The
Sioux City man put up substantial
amount against Mr.. Brandt's whiskers
Now these whiskers of Mr.. Brandt are
the pride OF Dayison county. For thir-
B ~ years they have been conlbed and
brushed and fed on tonic and beard
vtgor until Mitchell has come to be
known as one OF the windtest places on
the weather map. Their hue IL a rich,
dark. iron gray, and when the south
ern 1ephyrs softly blow, and when the
north winds moan and howl and even
when there Is a weather calm, this
wonderful growth Of facial alfalfa Is
re9arded al a thing OF beauty. Every
barber in Mitchell has fondied 1t, and
ita beneficent influence has been such
that tonsorial strikes there are entire
" unknown. y
But these whiskers are to be shaved
on today, and they will be brought to
Sioux City tonight In a mail sack. For
the first time since Ulysses S. Grant
defeated Horatio Seymour Mr..
Brandt's face is to be smooth, and his
view Of the pill boxes will be unob-

THE NEW BUG.

a brand new bug has become very
numerous in this locality this fail. II
has been even more in evidence than
the goldbug-an there have been sev-
eral OF the latter. This new bug is
called the box-elder bug because Of its
fondness for box-elder trees. we do
not see, however. why it could not.
With equal propriety, be called the
br1ck-wall bug. We have noticed,
brick walls completely covered with
them. The bug Is not absolutely new
here but has not been generally no.
ticed until this year on account Of Its
previously modest appearance. The
adult bug Is about three quarters OF an
inch long. It's color is dull black,
with narrow red lines making a sort Of
pattern on Its hack. When Its wings are
raised in flying the body Is seen to be

just A Few Suggestions On
Ordering neady-to-wear Garments

Owing to the difficulty Of maintaining ia stock
fixed styles, shapes, and materials to fill orders
from catalogue, we find that it is best at this
distance iron he factory 70 send you the garments
themselves Its worth the express charges to
have lot Of garments to try on in your own
home We pay the express charges back If you
keep any Of the garments. If you find what
pleases pin UP the garment SO as to fit you per-
1eetly and return it Us, Will alter it SO as to
fit you perfectly. In ordering garments to Be
on approval please state as closely as possible
size, style, color and price wanted. If YOU win
write as your needs we viii advise youJust what
we havein stock and a description OF the style#
and finish Of garment that can be had at anv

May We Suggest Some Things
About Sending Us Money BY Mail.

Bear in mind that while our postal system is one
OF the best in the world, the millennium is not yet
here; there some dishonest postal employees.
It's, therefore, unvuise to send silver or currency
in common letter. Where possible buy a postal
order. 1t costs &c. but is safe. II you cannot do
this register the letter This costs Sc and the gov
eminent is responsible for any loss up to 5000,
but it's very safe, every person handling your
letter receipt for its condition. In sending
checks have them certified at your bank SO that
do not need to wait have a check collected
before filling your order Be sure to send money
enough to cover your order and postage or ex-#
press charges But at any we always refund
by same mail all money you send not needed to
81 fill your order.

CONGRESSMAN COUSINS IN LINN
rCedar Rapids Republican,

Congressman Cousins ran within a
Dozen votes up to President Mckinley
IN Linn county. It is remarkable rec
ord for usually there are many who
vote the head OF the ticket without tak-
Ing the pains to mark the congressman
of the opposite party. Mr. Cousins made
@ good part Of that record by his ma tch-
LEES speech in this city on Monday night
That alone convinced many that ouch a
young man ought not only to be kept in
In congress- but ought to be kept there
BY majority that will give him added
5Ptrength and usefulness. The Fifth dis
district Of Iowa in Washington stands
well toward the head Of the list. The
people OF the district are proud Of such
standing.

Baton Rouge, LA News.

Baton Rouge, La, Special The
many relatives and host Ct ffienda of
Mics Oracle Caldwell, Were checkt d
and deeply pained to receive the sad
tIdings of her untimsiy death, which
took place in New o. leene, ea Saturday
morning, June 2, 1900 This lovable
and accomplished LADY was q native of
Baton Rouge. Her amiabie disposition
and noble traits OF character endseged
her to all. To the bereaved oEes. deep
est sympathy and sineerest regrets are
extended, with the assurance that time
alone will bring a soothing baIna to
heal their wounded hearts. her re-
Her remains were brought to cur city

on Sunday afternoon and the multi
tude of dear ones who accompanied heE

for work that enabled him to accomplish
great results without appearance Of
weary or strain. His mental eQuipoise
perennial good cheer and quiet industry
were the characteristics most noted by
his associates. Col. TOrrey not only ex-
erciSed the greatest care and efficiency
in providing for his men during the time
the regiment was in service, but has
been untiring since it was mustered out,
and has exerted himself to see that the
bodies of the deceased were tenderly
placed in the hands Of those who loved
them.
The hour calls for the nomination OF
a plain man as Vice-President. The peo-
pie want a plain platform, and the men
placed upon it whose character will be a
guarantee Of its fulfllment. They want
plain words from the lips and respect
for plain duty in the heart. At Mr..
McKinley's side they want a VicePresi-
dent who is a strong man from among
the plain people instead of a weak man
whose ideas Of right have been emascu>
lated by the effete atmosphere of ma
chine politics; not a man who confined
his patriotism to "hot air" during the
recent war, but one who put on a uni
form; not a man from Wall street, but
from the West. The man named thus
far who fills this bill and who perfectly
answers the demand Of the times IS Jay
H. Torrey. The West will name the
next President and Vice-President, and
the party will be wise to put forth its
best energies in that section, and call to
the front the two most potential factors
that can be fOund-McKinley and Tor

As the time draws nearer for the

grow in moment and the more urgently
press for solution. 1t is the opinion of
those best qualified To judge that wait

ment to 80 crystalli2e about Il candidate
as to create a stampede in his favor by

and il is recalled that few nominations
have been fortunate where the plume"
went outside Of the gentlemen whose
merits had been well capVaSsed ia ad
vance. The Presidential office is q
high one, and the utmost prudence
should be exercised in making a choice.
Since he stands but one remove from
the Chief Magistracy of the nation, he
should be, III all respects, the kind of
man we should feel willing TO have serve
Us rs President. Since the incumbency
of the late Garret a. Hobart there has
developed in the public mind a keener
recognition Of the dignity and impUr-
tduce attaching to the post, and what
was once cOntemptuOuSly termed the
threshold of oblivion" is now deemed
an honor for which the best may proper
ly strive.
Most good timber has been submitted
for examination and set aside, and the
situation has so clarified that but few
really available figures remain. OF these
the tide seems to be setting in with ire
sI>tiblc force for Col. Jay l.. TOrrey, in
cldentally of Wyoming, but who in the
uuBt sense, by reason of national
achievements and broad public services
might be classified as from the United
States at large"
To so into detailed biography Of Col
IOrrey would be a useless multiplication
OF words. His life as an industrious
citizen and volunteer soldier Is familiar tC
all Americans who keep in touch with
the currents that govern modern thought
and action. At the bar he was honest
conscientious and painstaking. As the
author Of the TOrrey bankruptcy bill his
name became familiar to the debtors anC
creditors of the whole country. In the
recent war for humanity against the
atrocities of Spanish rule in Cuba, Col
Iorrey bore Il conspicuous and uSefu
part. He was the Original Rough
