 An agent for clocks is said to be engineering rather slick game in this section. He calls upon the lady of the house, displays his wares ex- tolls their qualities and then tries to make sale on the installment plan
 1T the lady is indifferent and does not care to purchase the clock the agent then says he will leave it on trial for two weeks. At the same time he pro- 1 duces an agreement which the lady is supposed to sign. Naturally the lady thinks the agreement is all right and she fills in the blank spaces or has them filled in by the agent. This is where she enters trap. The agree ment states, so 1t is % d, that the lady agrees to rent the clock and that after she has paid so many installments for | rent of the clock. the clock will be hers. The clock may be worth S9 and if 1 may not be, but people should be on the lookout when they are signing | agreements. The people have been warned many times in regard to af- fairs of this nature, but there are al-
 ways few persons who persist in be- l ing faked.
 "A democratic mayor requires a democratic board of aldermen in order to accomplish the best results. It is all almost foregone conclusion that Mayor Kilduff will be reelected by a
 handsome majority. Every democrat should turn out and vote for the pres
 ent mayor. They should see to 1t
 that he is given large majority and
 such q majority should be given to the remainder of the democratic ticket.
 The present administration has been
 an excellent one. There is not the
 least semblance of stain or blot on it. But not only should the mayor and
 the nominees on the democratic city
 and town tickets be elected but inc
 democrats of the third ward should
 take an especial interest in the cam
 palgn and elect one democratic alder
 man at least from the third ward. A
 number of good, old republicans will
 vote for the nominees of the demo-
 cratic party for aldermen in this ward
 and if the full democratic vote is boiled
 We will have at least one and perhaps
 three democratic aldermen from the
 third ward.
