DIR GIBBs'S ADDRESS.

Dr Howard A. Gibbs of Massachu. setts addressed an audience of 900 at City hall yesterday. He tried to il- lustrate how the people were robbed of the fruits of their labor. and how the political sharks fattened off their toll. He told the audience present how this could be averted by the peo- pie simply reclaiming what belongs to them. As the robbers used dishonest legislation as their means, let the workingmen unite and use honest leg islation and thereby reclaim what be- longs to all the people.
 Dr Gibbs recited an incident that came under his observation in Boston. under the shadows of Bunker hill. after heavy snowstorm last winter. bThe railroad company advertised for men to shovel the tracks, and over 1000 men responded. As the foreman tired Of handing the men the shovels. he hit upon plan, viz, of tossing the shorels into the crowd, thereby letting the men fight for them. God forbid that should ever witness again what followed" he said. '.The snow was in the pursuit of life, liberty and hap piness. These men thought of hungry wives and children at home and in that fearful scramble for work they fought like so many dogs for bone, while the bribe-giving autocrat looked on with the utmost satisfaction."
 Dr Gibbs concluded by describing the large and enthusiastic meetings all over the country, and if the voters would vote in accordance with the iil- terest made manifest at these meet ings the socialist vote would be some what surprising to our friends the capitalists.
 X collection was taken up after the meeting and more than the expenses of the meeting was realized. Tho chairman announced that ballots could be had by calling at room 3S Platt block.

According to the old song, "'Twas q cold frosty morning when Uncle Ned he died," and we wonder if Oil Heat CTS had been known in those days whether Uncle Ned's life could not have been prolonged perhaps even to this day. Of course we might have missed the old song, but we think that Uncle Ned would have enjoyed Iivins vastly more than we enjoy listening to his musical obituary. However, be that as it may, the fact Is plain that to get out of nice warm bed these cold mornings and dress in a cold, frosty room is far from pleasant, and after the days work is over cold room is a cheerless thing to contemplate, no matter how attractively 1t may be fur, nished. The introduction of little warmth will change all this and add feeling of comfort to any room. The expense, not over 1c an hour, IS hardly to be considered, and as there is no dust. no smoke, no smell, an OIL HEATER seems to fill this need.

Dogs Protective Collars.

When dog has sustained a wound to limb, and the limb has been bound up, 1t is often a difficult matter to pre- vent the animal from removing ths bandage, or at all events from displac ing it. This, of course, makes the heal ing process of much longer duration than If the bandage were left un touched. To prevent the dog from irri tating the wound English veterinary surgeons fit around the animals neck a collar made of stiff cardboard or oil. cloth, which effectually keeps the dog. teeth and tongue at a distance.

 Ralph Blakeslee, one of the re- publican candidates for representa- tive, is likely to lose the votes he expected to get in Mill plain over an item that appeared in this paper, to the effect that he had sorne,sing to do with depriving the residents of that district of trolley service. Mir Blakes- lee indignantly denies the imputation and states that he had nothing to do with the case. He claims that the line would be as near his farm suppos- ing it had gone the other way as 1t is now.
