The Women are After Him .

Yesterday a progressive farmer
from the Washita visited our city
and disposed of some merchandise
which has brought him in bad re-
pute among housewives. The man
from the Washita had some very
fine wild honey" from the Wash
ita bottom and he offered it at two
pounds for 25 cents. Many, anx-
ious for a taste of the delicious
wild bee honey, purchased from
him; but their surprise may be
imagined when on sitting down to
their meal. the delicacy just pur-
chased proved to be nothing but
sugar syrup with some pieces of
candy thrown in to give 1t bone,

obtained at all soda water foun-

A Game Conductor.

Kansas City journal: There was an
excursion to this city, yesterday from
the towns along one OF the railroads,
which brought In more than 1000 people
on one train. There were all classes
and sizes and conditions on the train,
Some were sober, and others were not.
Some Of the Inter got into trouble with
the conductor, and the results OF the
trouble were plainly visible on the per-
son OF the conductor. He was covered
with blood from wounds received In
combnts with people on the train who
thought that the conductor did not
know how to handle the train. and they
wanted totake IL from him. The con-
ductor. however. brought the train In
Fnfciy into the depot. where the people
disseminated themselves nil over the
city. They could be seen sitting on
the sidewalks, In doorwnys, on steps
and every place where one could rest,
every one of them tired out, and ready
to go home.

Those Democratic journals which re-
tain their self respect will have moth

attempting to play on the Republican

"They (the Democrats of the coun-

magnificent organization, complete har.
mony and solemn purpose to spur
them on the Repu biicans arc going to

are thoroughly aroused is evidenced In

sentative Of the Parkersburg. State

The special purpose is the ambition Of
Colonel John r. McGraw. That much Is
evident on the face OF the returns, so
far as received. Colonel McGraw Is
working very slick game. He IS to-
day the acknowledged leader OF the
Democratic party, and he Ia using every
means in his power to bring into the
fold such wise ex-leaders as ex-Sena.
tors Camden and Davis. AS the Intel
ligencer remarked some days ago he Is
pouring toneyed words OF hope into
the ears OF both these astute statesmen,
leading them to believe that there may
be chance for them, In case the lcgIs-
iature is Democratic, OF succeeding
Senator Elkins In the United States SEN
ate. But all the time McGraw IS work
ing and planning for McGraw.
II by chance the legislature should be
Democratic what. greater calamity
could betall the state than to have 1t
represented by such man OF Colonel
McGraw's calibre. Think OF the figure
he would cut in rafting around in the
shoes Of such Democrats az have repre-
sented the state as Henry G. Davis and

II take him, with his lack OF expert,

proven. In 1895, when Colonel Thomas

How to Make a summer Resort.

Buy about ten car loads of assorted

sand on the American coast, far enough
away from railroad station to make

Arrange the lumber so that It will
stand up and keep off the rain. and
nail together with few tenpenny nails
Paint the whole any bright color.
Now. from what is left over make
board walk four miles long and four
feet wide. From what Is left OF the
board walk erect n row OF bath houses.
Make each compartment so small that
a guest vii: have to live at the hotel
week before he is thin enough to I'M
dress in It. Put at one side shelf with

Go to hardware store and buy an
electric plant, and string one wire, IN
the hotel office, another on the cupola
on top. and the third on the flagstaff
In front. Let the rest of the place, in
Guiding, the piazza and surroundings,
be In total darkness.
Order from Il department store one
good-sized fowl. and divide 1t into as
many pieces as there wifi be guests, say
one for every three guests.
Buy from an auction room n set OF
beds that no one else wants. and from
the navy yard some discarded urmor,
which makes fine summer hotel bed
springs. Have the space between the
