ADVERT sements this week, requiring a
ten page issue. The Bee Hive store, W.

ting returns, his trade having increased
since he bought this store until it is one
of the best in the city. VIM. Langreder,
the tailor, also uses page to announce
the opening sale of his spring tailorings.
He has recently added another room to
his establishment and now carries a
large stock Of piece goods, which he
1 will make up in the latest style. Call
and see him about that new spring suit
or overcoat. The Graham & Hansell Co.
also use nearly a page which as usual is
replete with bargains the price Of which
cannot fail to attract the careful buyer.
These are only some of the largest adj
vertisers. There are many smaller ones
who ask share of your patronage and
we commend them to REPORTER readers.

the impact was caused by monster

The vagaries of the citizens movement

for state senator in the recent special
election without opposition, and ever
since the doctor paced along the polit-
ical path at his ease the straight -outs
have been smoking the anti-citizen
pipe.
1t transpires that the most promi-
nent men and the most active work
ers on the democratic side are straight-
outs. They furnish the sinews OF war
and do the hustling. For years the
citizen leaders have been In position
to compliment themselves on the ex-
cellent work which they have permit
ted the straight-ouSs TO do for the
mongrel organization. but the worm
has finally and effectually turned. The
straight-outs got together in large
numbers, and. absolutely ignoring the
other fellows, went to work to insure
the stability of the county convention.
They told their friends they would
hereafter vote the democratic ticket or
else stay away from the polls, and they
meant every word they said. The citi-
gen partisans were not consulted: the
other fellows said they could get along |
