HONEYMOON OBSOLETE

to convey that our people never get

such common occurrence that the boys

stWhen one of our young couples get
married they do not spend month
honeymooning like it is the custom in
the East, but they settle down to the
routine of life with the one harmon

'spOoning' around over everybody,

OPPOSED TO SECRET BALLOT
Kentucky Democrats Favor q Re-
turn to the Old System of
Viva VOce Voting.

Louisville, KY, Nov 15-The old
viva voce system of voting may W re-
stored in Kentucky.
The democrats are supporting the
idea, and it is likely that the legisla-
ture will be asked to act this winter.
The party leaders make no secret
that this measure is deemed necessary
to avert possible republican control.
Under the viva voce system the vot-
ers call out their candidates. The re-
suit is quickly ascertained and the
method is not so expensive as the pres
ent one. Besides, what is more i'm
portant to the politician, he knows
how everybody votes.

SAND WILL DO IT.

I observed a locomotive in the railroad
yards one day,
1t was waiting in the roundhous,
where the locomotives stay
1t was painting for the journey, it wa
coaled and fully manned,
And it had a box the fireman was ill
ing full of sand.
1t appears that locomotives can MOI
always get grin
On their slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip;
And when they reach slippery spot
their tactics they command,
And to get grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with sand.
It's about the way with travel along
life's slippery track.
1t your load is rather heavy you re
always slipping back
So, if common locomotive you COM
pletely understand,
You II provide yourself In star ting
with d good supply of sand.
If your track is steep and hilly and
you have heavy grade.
II those who We gone before you have
the rails quite slippery made.
IL you ever reach the summit of the
upper table land.
You II find you II have to do it with
liberal use of sand.
{ you strike some frigid weather and
discover to your cost.
That you re liable to slip ON heavy
coat of frost,
'hen some prompt decided action will
be called into demand,
nd you II slip way to the bottom If
you haven't any sand.

new BUSINESS
ESTABLISHMENT
Wrought Iron Range Co., Is
tablishes Columbia Branch
On South Main street.

A division OF the Wrought Iron Rang
Co, Of ST Louis. Mo-. has located al
Colum MA to advertise and sell their II.
nous Home Comfort Steel range We
we're invited by the manager, MIR. 4. N.
g. Lee, 10 examine these ranges, which
IN our opinion are as nearly perfect as a
cooking apparatus can be made. We
took occasion alsv TO look 10 the record
of the Company and their goods. We tind
the company was organized 10 1864. and
% the largest establishments of the kinj
10 the world
Their main factory at st. Louis has a
capacity of sou ranges per day, while
their branch factory at Toronto, Cana
da, has capacity of 200 ranges Thus
the Company is manufacturing and sell
ing from 500 TO 100 ranges daily.
The Home Comfort is the pioneer OF
portable rarges and in its early days
was bitterly fought by the manufactur-
ers of stoves.
But it grew 10 popularity till to-day it
is a cherished article In more than half
. million homes, and the demand for
ranges is so great that nearly all stove
manufacturers are forced to make
hDe of ranges.
At the time this raug1 was first
built, steel was practically unknown,
aud wrought iron was used in the con-
struction of these ranges. Today
wrought iron plays a small part in their
construction, while rolled and mallable
steel is used
In 1864 the out-put of this company
was small; today their main factory oc-
cnpies an entire block in st. Louis.
In every decade since this company |
was established, their ranges have held |
first place in the estimation of experts |
and in the homes of the people.
They were awarded first premiums at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago and New
Orleans. Mid winter fair San Francis
co, fairs at Toronto and London, Can
ada; at every State fair 10 the U. s..
where they have been exhibited. They
baye handsome exhibit at st. Louis
and will undoubtedly be given first rank
there. There are ranges in this county

tw elve years to quarter OF century,ln

Chicago, Nov. 11.-William Mailly,

over the state. including Cook, at ten
per cent, he has 100000 in Illinois.
In Wisconsin the percentages give

LIE uaroR AvD TIE GAs BILL

The Senate Committee on Miscellaneous Cor
porations has reported the East River Gas BILL
and consequently the hearing appointed for this
afternoon viii not be given. II IS not likely
that any new arguments against that malodor-
Gus measure could have been presented, and GER
tainly none are needed. II has been thoroughly
exposed at two sessions, and stands condemned
by official and public opinion. Mr.. Guy. repre-
senting the Corporation CounseTs office. has
made an effective statement Of the reasons why
II ought 10 be defeated. In total disregard Of
the charter OF this city Il grants perpetual
franchise and II secures no compensation what
soever to the city. The municipal authorities
have full power TO give the company all the
privileges which Il processes 10 be seeking, and
its only motive last year and this, In applying
10 the legislature was the hope OF obtaining in
that way what Il ought not TO have and could
not get from the aldermen and the Board OF Es-
innate.
The bill passed last year in the final turbu-
lent moments Of the session but Mayor Low
interposed his veto. The company looked for
equally considerate treatment at Albany this
year. and the prospect Is that Il VIII not be dis
appointed. Il reckoned also on a complaisant
Mayor, but that was evidently a blunder, for
Mr. Guy announced on Tuesday in positive
terms the unalterable hostility Of the municipal
administration His statement must inevitably
mean that Mr.. Mcclellan will follow the ex-
ample Of Mr.. Low and refuse 10 approve the
bin. The legislature is intending 10 adjourn
two weeks from tomorrow, though the session
may possibly last a few days longer. In either
case the Mayors veto would Kill the bill. for
the constitution allows him fifteen days 10 act
upon Il, and II cannot reach him soon enough
TO give the legislature a chance 10 pass IT n
/ second tine against his VIII Last year there
was some talk about its being unnecessary 10
| send the bin to Mayor Low, but IL there was
any serious thought OF keeping IL out OF his
hands, on the pretence that It was not spe-
/ cial city measure, that plan was abandoned as
extra hazardous and is not likely TO be re-
/ vived.
Unless, therefore, some unexpected contin-
| gency arises. the Senate, by passing the East
River Gas bin. would merely surrender 10 a
Tammany Mayor the privilege Of protecting the
welfare OF the New-York public. The Assembly
has already done what It could 10 give him
that enviable opportunity, but It seems hardly
possible that the Senate can be persuaded to
join IN such an exhibition Of moral obtuseness
and political folly.
