For Ribbons it's Marr's.


Indian mothers have method OF pre-
venting needless crying of babies
which, though 1t does not err on the
side of gentleness, is efficacious. In
infancy children are entirely under the
control Of their mothers or nurses, and
therefore the Indian plan Of stopping
crying and preventing the formation
OF the habit is to cover the baby's
mouth with the hand and at the same
time to close its nostrils till It nearly
suffocates. Then 1t Ia allowed to
breathe freely again, but should 1t re-
cover its breath only to indulge in an
other howl 1t will at once have to en-
dure semisuffocation. This treatment
is repeated till the child learns that
"silence Is golden" and ceases to use
its vocal powers to the annoyancs of
Its fond relatives.

A Can to Duty.

The Reform Party has placed in the
field ticket composed of representa-
tive business men. A ticket that
should command the respect and sup
port of the best element in the city. Z.
There are but three things that can de-
feat this ticket, viz:
| Ia failure of our people to register.
IA failure to come out and vote.
3.-The corruption fund contributed
by the saloons.
We appeal to all good and loyal
citizens who believe in good govern
ment, who would prefer a church that
saves mems souls to the saloons that
create or rather drag some men down
to be beasts like Galbraith who died on
the gallows confessing that it was the
saloon that brought him to it. We
appeal to you to register and vote the
Reform ticket. II you know that you
are not registered, do not wait for us
to come after you with a carriage, but
go right to the clerk and recorders
Office and be registered. You must
register before the Goth Of March.
II you have been in the state a year,
in the county ninety days, in the city
thirty days and in the ward ten days,
you are entitled to be registered and
to vote.
If you did not vote at the last cleo
ton, it will be necessary for you to
register. If you have changed your
residence since the fall election you
will have to go to the clerk and re-
corder's office and have your residence
changed. Do not fail to do this or you
will lose your vote.
We appeal to each and every person
who is in sympathy with the reform
movement to make themselves a COM
mittee of one to work for the success
of our ticket. Every person has some
friend or friends that they can in
fluence to vote the Reform ticket
Look about you and see who you can
get to vote with you and persuade
them to come out and vote.
Under the law as it now is, the Alder
men are elected by the vote of the en-
tire city. Every voter has the right to
vote for eight men for Aldermen, two
in each ward and the two in each ward
receiving the highest number of votes
in the city will be elected. d.-Executive
Committee Of the Reform Party.

does it favor the arbitrary building OF

force either annexation or sidewalks

them, and the Citizens party does not
favor any move to in any way try to
force the people into either.-By order
