THE GOOD
 FLEETWOOD
It's The Popular Favorite
 Everywhere.

On all sides you can hear the praise of the Glenwood Range and well you might, for the Glenwood is the one stove that housekeepers like all the time. Glenwoods don't cost any moro than any other kind since the Hamp- son-Sellew store took the agency. Therefore the Glenwood is the stove to buy. There is at very conserva- tive estimate between two and three thousand Glenwoods used in Water bury. which is strong testimonial to the popularity of It. Glenwoods can be bought at the Hampson- -Sellew store as low as S25.0O and the grades run in gradual advance up to S6O.00. The Glenwoods ranging in price from $500 10 $500 are extremely popu- lar and are from five to ten dollars less than the same grades used to he sold for before the Hampson- -Sellew Furniture company put them on sale. Be sure to get a Glenwood and you will be pleased now and fin years and years to come

GRAND OPERA HOUSE

"'The Village. Parson" will be

qagement Mt the Grand tonight. 1t
Is drama constructed on possible
tiles, these being linked with the
fact that each part seems to have
been written for the artist who is
engaged to play it, so carefully has
he company been selected. The
blav is considered one of the most
powerful and interesting of the pres
Mt day. 1t may be second only to
hat beautiful drama Human
Hearts" but general belief has been
expressed that it should be placed
frst. The interest gradually in
creases as the play proceeds, and there
is not tagging moment or weak
character.
'HThe Village Parson" requires an
elaborate production, and in this,
the management have been strongly
cognizant to provide the entire seen
cry for each act. Prices for tonight,
Is. 25, 80 and so cents; few seats

COLONEL
FLANAGAN
IN CITY

EX-Postmaster Jesse J. Flanagan,
of Salem, was a prominent visitor
here Saturday on business.
Col Flanagan was born in Har-
rison county and has been, together
with five brothers, a lifelong Re
publican and active in the various
campaigns since arriving at his ma
iority. And his Republicanism is
of that sort that can not be ques-
toned. Loyal at all times and un-
der all circumstances, is what may
rightly and truthfufly be said of
Col. Flanagan in this respect.
As one of the leading Republicans
of his town and county he is fast
friend of Congressman B. B. Dow
ener, Senator n. B. Scott and SEN
ator S. p. Eliins, not only using his
most active efforts for their success
politically. but also making predic-
tions on various occasions. for their
success, which proved true in every
instance. $50 successful was he, so
accurate 10 his predictions that he
became widely known throughout
the stutesas a political and election
prognosticator. In addition he has
been warm friend of Judge Aston
G. Dayton, and aided him all pos
siblein his campaigns for congress.
although not residing in Mr.. Day
toms district, and was ever much
gratifed over, his success, because
he regarded him able, honest and de-

ors conferred upon him by the people
of the second congressional district

1t appears that some parties who

the malt and other drinks to the
chemist Of the internal revenue de-
partment. He made an analysis and
found that the per centage Of al

to 4.62. Many kinds of beer
have only three or four perc ent. Of
alcohol, and Of course no atempt is
ever made to sell beer openly without
a license
Whom this state Of affairs was dis
covered, the Deputy Collector was
directed to visit all places in the dis
trict where these beverages ar sold.
and collect the license, with the pen-
alties for violations of the internal
