Mrs. Mclean was II candidate Tor

MAKE 'EM PUT UP.
Commission Firms DispOs-
ed To FUNK.

Stock men are talking about Il
snide way some Chicago Live
Stock Commission firms have of
doing business. Recently a rep
resentative of a Chicago firm went
"halvers" with Chris Marburg, of
Laddonia, in buying a bunch of
cattle. The drove lost 1882 and
Marburg had to stand it all, the
Commission firm refusing to put
up their part of it. Some time
since another Chicago firm sent a
man to buy Jim Young's cattle,
near Tulip, which he did at So. 40.
Monday was the day the cattle
were to go, but the firm flunked
and refused to pay for the cattle.
We understand Mr.. Young will
sue the firm. We give these re-
ports that farmers and feeders may
be on their guard and require
commission firms to put up when
they trade with them, just the
same as other people.

Mrs. Summers home is only
one of many alleged to have been

that house burners have been

the past fifteen years by insuring
worthless property and firing it.
The general plan was to paint and
fix up IN old shack Of II building,
install it with good furniture or
other property and send for an in.

all right, and Il goodSizr policy
was issued. Before the fire the
valuable goods that had been

Bryson reads a lesson to parents
in the Louisiana Press as follows:
When girls walk out evenings with
the sole hope of picking up Il
young man and walking farther, it
is time to have a curfew law that
will include the children over l6
in its jurisdiction. The restless
ness that comes upon girls on sum
mer evenings results in a lasting
trouble, unless speedily controlled.
The right kind of a man does not
look for wife on the streets, and
the right kind of a girl waits till
the man comes to her home for
her. The mothers should quit
gossiping over the back fence, and
chase after girls when they get the
boy look in their eyes.
