The Two Rallies.

Election is over, and the rallies are
things Of the political history OF Andcr-
son county, yet, there were some anus
ing things about them, which we will
mention
The county was plastered with bills
announcing the grand Republican raj
ley on Friday. Friday came. The
speakers Tor some OF them came, but
the crowd didn't come.
After waiting quite 4 while for the
people from the country, the rough riders
mounted their steeds and went out by
the different roads to escort the farmers
into town. They soon came back with
the word tnat the large concourse OF
people was nowhere in sight. Finally,
the town people, tired of waiting for
their country cousins" concluded to
have a parade, anyhow; so the process
sion formed. and, headed by the band
and forty-two rough riders, little
string of twenty-five vehicles, contain
ing eighty-two people (ifty-tiye being
votcrs), they marched around town
while But it seemed more like funeral
professionalism gay political parade
1t WAS very pretty parage, however,
SO for as the floats and pretty girls and
decorations were concerned.
The fusion rally took place ON Sstur-
day. and it was a success, People came
In from every section of the county. The
procession consisted of $40 vehicles, be-
sides many men and boys on horseback.
A number OF little rough riders" on
stick horses followed the band, aad the
little fellows stuck to the procession
till the last. Every township was repre-
senteed, and nearly all had handsomely !
arranged Aoats-Jackson township prob
ably outshone the others i'll that respect.
Many people became tired of waiting
for the procession to form, and drove IN
to town and put up their teams. Had
they joined the parade, it would have
been fully twice as long.
1t was jolly crowd, tul OF enthusi'
asm, and the Republicans were sick
mad--lurious They said all The mean
thugs rhey could think OF, abusing the
the farmers and making fun of their
clnthes If a farmers wife or daughter
wore hat not just up TO date, she was
a mark for their ugly filings. We heard
some farmers say they had marked
some of the people III town who made |
fun of their wives and daughters, and
would remember them in the future.
However, all enjoyed themselves, and
will long remember the day.

STEEL WOOL.
A Curious Material That Is Used ~ .
Substitute For Snndpaper.

| Steel wool introduced five or six
years ago. is Il machine produced mate
rial that is used as Il substitute for
| SandDaper. 1t is composed of sharp
| edged threads of steel, which curl up
| together like wool, or somewhat as the
wood fiberS of the familiar material
| known as excelsior curl up together
| though the steel wool is very much fin
err the finest of it being not much
| COarSer than the coarSeSt of natural
woods The steel wool is put up in
! packages containing one pound each.
| These are something like rolls of cot
ton batting, but smaller. a pound of
steel wool, loosely packed. making, roll
ed in paper and open at the ends,
package perhaps 10 inches long and .
or 3 inches in diameter.
Made in various degrees of coarse
ness, steel wool is put to Il variety of
uses, the finer woods for polishing wood
and metal and the coarser for rubbing
down paint and varnish. 1t is often
used on special parts of work; while,
for example, on the fat surfaces of a
door a man would use sandpaper with
block of it for the holdings he
would use steel wool, which fits into
the crevices and conforms itself to If
regular shapes. Such work can be
done with steel wool far more readily
and quickly than with sandpaper, and
it is used with like advantage on irreg
ular and small surfaces and on carved
work.
Besides the steel wool, there is a
coarser material of the same kind call
ed steel shavingS. which is put to vari-
Gus uses, as in taking off old paint or
varnish and in polishing wood before
painting, and it is used on bowling al
legs and on floors for smoothing and
cleaning them.
Sandpaper clogs in use; steel wool
breaks down. The wool is commonly
used with gloves to keep the ends from
sticking into the fingers.

Effective Co-operntion.

An interesting illustration of what
can be done by cooperation is seen in
an account of the Improvement of a
number of roads in a Michigan section
by farmers, says the Chicago Record.
In this district the country is sandy,
and the roads have been so bad
throughout most of the year that it has
been impossible to bring to market the
produce of the farms. The nearest
town was applied to, but it was so poor
that it was compelled to decline the re-
quested help. Finally the farmers de-
cided to help themselves. About five
years ago % of them came together
and offered to haul mari one day free
if the township would allow them to
take the mari from its bed. Consent
was given. and about 20 men vOlun-
teered to shovel and level the mari, and
so the first half mile was laid. This
road proved such success that the
next year another half mile was put
down. The mari packed down hard
and made such an excellent bed for
gravel that the farmers raised among
themselves enough money to put Il
dressing of gravel about eight inches
thick over one-quarter of a mile of the
road. This made an excellent walk,
and the following year more money
was collected, and half a mile was put
down. But this time only four inches
of gravel was spread over the mari.
The next year another quarter mile
strip was graveled. and about half
mile of mari was put down ready for
graveling next fall. AS natural con-
sequence of the Improvement in the
roads more produce is now sent to the
local market, and the principal.town of
the district has benefited so largely by
the improvement that it has offered to
furnish gravel for a mile of road if the
farmers will provide the labor to spread
it, which they have agreed to do.

Long Distance Photosraphy.

the thrilling moving pictures of the
war in South Africa We're made in New
Jersey has parallel in Paris, where a
certain photographer is said to be max
ing money hand over fist by turning
out snap shots of war scenes in the
TranSvaaL
The pictures are made in the French
capital and are sold as genuine war
photographs. The photographer has
collected some old horses and guns and
has enlisted the service of a score or
more of supers from the theaters, who
are made up as Beers or Englishmen,
according to the requirements of the
picture.
The Beers are distinguished by their
long whiskers and the English by their
uniforms. Imitation breaStworks have
been built near Paris, and these are
stormed by the supers while the man
with the camera takes the snap shots.

mantcl in Il front room. / have rented it,
however. and for that reason l cannot
give you its exact location. 1t is suffi
cient to say that it is as desirable house
as there is in the city. regarding both
finish and location. While l cannot say
anything definite in regard to the
thenticity of the statements made regard
ing this particular piece of property, L
can state that friend of mine passed
anything but a comfortable night in the
aforesaid house. He heard the sharp,
suppressed gasp of the self wounded; he
heard the blood drip on the floor, drop
by drop, in most blood curdling manner,
according to his story. and he saw the
form of man enter the front door and
ascend the stairs and enter the room in
which the suicide occurred. He says he
will swear to this if necessary. Never
theless, l think a few digestive tablets
would do him good. Two or three ten
ants, however, bore out his story, and l

present occupants will remain in the
