The people believe that any man or

honor by paying modicgp. q the
expenses.
This Is true In all campaigns, but 1t
Is especially true in this.
The Democratic party has named u
lot of gentlemen for .solne of the latest
offices in the gift of the people.
And this year a Democratic nomna.
ton Is no empty honor.
How do these gentlemen appreciate

And, falling back upon themselves,
who among them ought to give up
money for the cause first:

| If the candidates for the fat offices
have no interest In the election, why
should business men and merchants
part with their coin to help them!
Yet. the Democratic candidates are
playing the sneak act all along the line.
The Drainage Trustees, whose job Is
worth $4,000 ut least, and little work,
refuse to pay II $1,000 assessment
The County Commissioners whose
job Is worth $4,000 TO them, refuse TO
give their party 200.
And SO It goes along the whole selfish
list.
The salaries alone attached 10 the
jobs for which the men on the Demo.

over one million of dollars.

Origin Of Visiting Cards.

"The use OF visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs.
Van Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door of great houses
kept a visitors book, In which he
scrawled his idea OF the names of those
who called upon the master and his
family, and to whose inspection II was
submitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman, a scion of the nobility from
the Faubourg st. German, vas
shocked to find that his porter kept
so poor a register Of the names OF
those who had called upon him. The
names, badly written with spluttering
pen and pale or muddy ink, suggested
to him the idea of writing his own
name upon slips OF paper Or bits OF
cardboard In advance of calling upon
his neighbors, lest his name should
fare as badly at the hands OF their
porters. This custom oon became
generally established"

Was Plain Murder.

The inquest held over the body OF
Alois Standenmayer, who was found
dead ten miles east Of Harrison, Neb.,
disclosed the fact that he was muir
dered and literally shot full of holes.
There were eleven wounds on the body
produced by five shots from n 45-cali-
brc rifle or revolver.
There is no tangible clue as to the
murderer, though every effort possible
has been made by the authorities to
ferret the matter out. The dead man
had two or three personal enemies and
1t is not improbable that one of these
may be the guilty one, as there could
