Sew Up Your Pockets.

This is the time of year when adj
vice on the subject ''How to keep
cool in warm weather" may be had
at small cost. In many instances
the students Of the subject look un-
comfortable and seem to fare badly
because of the high temperature,
but they persist in making rules for
the comfort of their fellows, and
derive much pleasure from prescrib-
ing remedies which will make the
New Yorker forget the discomforts
of the good old summer time.
The newest recruit in the ranks of
the army working for the relief of
the perspiring public is the man
who makes war on pockets. Take
mans pocket away, or sew them
up" he says, land he will be a
cooler and better man. In the
average pair Of trousers there are
three pockets; there are often as
many as five. Then if the man
wears waistcoat, there are three
or four outside pockets and at least
one inside pocket. In the ordinary
business coat there are three to five
pockets, and in all of these the man
carries something bunch of
letters, bunch of keys, a card
case, cigar case, pencils, handker-
chiefs, match safe, penknife, memo
randum book, cigar cutter, tobacco
or cigarette case and scraps of paper
and pocket pieces. The necessary
articles could be carried in one
pocket, together with the mans
money, and little pocket could be
reserved for the watch. Leave
your trash and nonsense at home or
at your office; try it and you will
be more comfortable. y

Chairman Root took him by the hand
and led him forward to the extreme
front of the platform, the climax of
enthusiasm was reached. Delegates
with one accord jumped to their feet
and on to their chairs. Cheer after
cheer went up, and waves of sound
swept over the throng. The applause
continued as the temporary and perma-
nent chairman continued to stand arm
in arm. When the applause finally
subsidized Chairman Cannon addressed
the convention.
Permanent Chairman Cannon warm
ed the hearts of the "folks." He had
them roaring with enthusiasm one
minute by his quaint humor, and the
next they were under the spell of his
homely pathos. He received the great
est ovation given to any individual
since the convention opened
The Illinois delegation couldn't help
showing how proud it felt, and when
Uncle Joe" had finished his speech
the whole convention loved him more
than ever. He was nearly the whole
show, but there were other features
that assisted in making lively day.
To get real piece of excitement the
convention went out into the Pacific
and found it in Hawaii The islands,
with territorial rights, wanted terri
torial recognition in the convention.

name of each delegate at large was
greeted with cordial applause when
it was pronounced by Senator Nc

The chairman then called the roll

doors were opened. For an hour at
least the ticket takers and ushers had
a strenuous time. After that it was
easier. The interior and exterior of
the building were bright with the ma
tional colors, the interior being very
profusely decorated.
AS the people began to arrive a
band played patriotic airs and was
applauded for it's efforts to make the
time pass pleasantly. AS the time of
calling to order drew near the prom
inent men came in, and as they were
recognized cheers broke out, delega-

waved, and the recipients of the hon.

broke out as Chairman Payne, of the
national committee, stepped forward
at II o'clock, noon, to call the conven-

The temporary chairman, Hon. Elihu
Root. of New York, was then intro

stored he proceeded with his opening
speech.
The party's record was reviewed by
the speaker, who praised Roosevelt as
a leader aud argued that the Repub-
leans should be continued in power,
both because of the promises they have
fulfilled and the policies which as yet
have not been brought to completion.
He said the tariff may presently re-

it at the hands Of friends of the pro-

He closed with an eloquent tribute
to the late President Mckinley, de-

policy; to Senator Hanna, and to
President Roosevelt.
When the temporary chairman had
concluded his address the standing
committees were appointed and the
convention adjourned for the day.

SERVICES APPROVED.
John H. HOwe's Management Pleases
Rough Rider Mfg. Co. Directors.

At a meeting of the directors Of
the Rough Rider Manufacturing
company held at the Union State
bank Tuesday evening, there was
hearty and unanimous expression
OF approval as to the management
OF the business by John H. Howe.
There are now twenty-five girls
employed in the factory, and the
instructions have been SO thorough
and careful that the workers are
now regarded as veteran experts.
And the claim is justified, as a
representative of this paper never
saw smoother overalls, shirts
jackets, etc., from the oldest factor
les than he saw in every variety
at the factory, where the girls were
directing the movements of the ma
chimes with perfect precision.
Everything done was Of the high
est grade, and the watchful eye Of
Mr.. Howe appeared to take in
everything going on.
The Rough Rider name is bound
to mean something, as the goods
appear to us to be not only the best
as to quality and make, but they
have what many goods of this kind
lack, viz, good shape. Many manu-
facturers give to goods of this kind
no more shape than what is in a
coffee sack with arm or leg attach
ments. This attention to shape,
coupled with fine discrimination
as to color, is bound to have an in
fiuence on sales.
Lancaster should have dozen
manufacturing establishments Of
various kinds about the size of this
concern. The benefit to all lines Of
business would be considerable.
There is ample idle capital to invest.
1t is only necessary to secure mana
gers like Mr.. Howe.

COURTHOUSE WORK.
Magnificent New Structure to be in
Readiness for the County Board.

Everything seems to be progress
ing satisfactorily with work on
Grant county's new court house.
The carpenters are doing the
finishing work now, and have near
ly completed the laying OF the
floors, which are all of hard maple
of the finest quality.
All of the Railways and the floors
OF the rotunda are to be OF fine
white thing, which has already
been laid on the first floor, being as
smooth as a marble surface. The
workmen are waiting for material
to lay the second and third floors.
The stairways are very broad and
the stairs are delightfully."- easy.
The stairs and wainscoting are to
be of polished marble. There is a
delay on the part of the manu-
facturers in supplying this marble.
The workmen could be placing it
now if it were on hand.
All of the vault floors are of hard
cement, which has been carefully
spread. The big double steel doors
for these vaults are mostly on hand
and will be placed soon.
The masons are plastering the
boiler room.
Many of the partitions are practic-
ally solid adamant plaster, which
was spread upon a steel netting.
Also, the graceful curves in walls
and ceilings and columns were
built in the same manner.
The colored under-glass roof Of
the dome has been completed.
The rotunda and Railways leading
to same when finished will be most
beautiful. The columns and walls,
running into the majestic and artis-
tic dome are all pure white and SO
smooth as to resemble polished
marble. When finished with fine
tile floors and marble stairs and
wainscoting. the effect will be a
joy to all beholders. The dome will
have many electric lights to make
beautiful night effect.
The walls of the rooms and side
halls will be nicely frescoed.
In fine, everything is progressing
So satisfactorily about. this court
house work, that the prevailing
opinion seems to be that the magni-
ficent building will be completed in
time to house the county board in
November, and to give the retir-
ing county officers just little taste
of what they have missed.
The masons have the brick walls
of the Bennett-Lathrop building
almost up to the second floor.
Henry Cooley and assistants are
doing good job.
DR.. Reeds old building on the
corner looks like thirty cents since
the Bennett frame buildings were
removed from the east side of it.
But soon the First National bank
people will move it away and start
the construction of their new build
ing.

spectacular that has ever acted as
an escort on a like occasion in our
village.
The happy couple received many
beautiful presents, and upon their
return will start to housekeeping in
the Ben Biers dwelling, on the
south main street, which has been
nearly rebuilt and put in perfect re-
pair, and has been elegantly fur
nished by the groom.
