Republicans are only called on for
one dollar each, but loyal Democrats
are expected to put up two dollars
apiece for the good of their party
one for the use of the congressional
committee, the other FOR that Bryah

The Valparaiso Vidette says: One
of the worst storms in the history OF
this section visited here Sunday
morning. AT $3.50 o'clock darkness
began to cover the city, and within
thirty minutes day was almst turned
into night. Rain seemed to fall in
small cloudbursts which kept up for
fully an hour. None of the sewers
were one-quarter large enough to
carry off the volume Of water, which
covered the streets and yards. caus-
ing many Easements and cellars to
be flooded.
Farmers residing near Niles, Mich,
held meeting at the Grange hall the
other evening and decided to inaug-
urate crusade against the tree and
fence advertising, especially the for
mer. They claim that heavy signs
are nailed to their fine shade and
other trees wherever they are to be
found, greatly injurihg them. The
rural citizens are indignant and de-
cided to first tear down every adver-
tisement now on the farms, and If |
more rae put up the guilty parties |
will be prosecuted.
A lady who understands advertis- |
ing says: mo lady wishes to be
looked upon as shopping hend, she |
does not care to go into a store and |
have the merchant show all his stock |
in order to find out whether he keeps |
what she wishes to purchase and |
whether the article is sold at a price |
she can afford. 1t is much easier
and more pleasant to look through |
the advertisements in a paper than
it is to bore the clerks and waste h n
own time. Next to the local news
items, the advertisements in paper
stating articles for sale with prices,
will keep much of the money that
goes to the large cities at home"
