How to draw a check.

A check is simply a written
order instructing the bank to
pay money. ~
We furnish our customers, free,
a book of blank forms with stubs
for keeping a record of the checks
drawn.
The stub should be filled cut
first, and then commence writ
ing the amount as far to the
lett on the the check as possible,
so that it can not be raised by
writing something before it.
1t is better to make the check
payable to John Smith" or
''Order" instead of Bearer" so
that the wrong person can not
draw the money, and the check
will act as a receipt for the pay
ment. Your name should always
be signed as nearly as possible
the same way, and it is better
to use ink.

very much. Mr.. Madden re-
ported that his candidacy was
being received very favorably if
he was any judge of the political
situation in the district. He
was perfectly free and frank in
expressions of accord with the
present National and State adj
ministrations. His platform was
that of his party as represented
by the National and State con-
ventions. He wanted to act for
and with the people upon every
question that came up for dis
cussion or disposal. He was
thankful for all the courtesies
he had received at the hands OF
our people, and expected to
come again when he could
stay a little longer.

DEMOCRATS GET BUSY

On Thursday afternoon there was a
gathering of the Democratic politi-
clans in this city, which was quite
largely attended. About a week ago
the Democrats issued a call for this
meeting, the primary item of interest
being the preparation of a county
ticket, to oppose the Republican
nominees at the coming election.
In conversation with most of the
leading Democrats of this city they
express confidence that they can, by
nominating strong men, win out this
year as it is known as an "off year. !"
Therefore their efforts are directed
toward the nomination of the strongest
men in the party.
AS will be noted by the list given
below, the party has nominated full
set Of candidates. The probability is
that there will be no contests at the
primaries, as there are not enough
men in the party sufficiently optimis-
tic, to even take the gamblers chance
on winning out. The candidates
brought forward as a result of the
meeting noted above are as follows:
The Democratic ticket as it will
probably be presented to the people is
as follows:
DR.. NJ. Dunn, OF Marshfield. Assembly
JnlinS WalSph Of Marsh1o1d for Char;H
Z. j. Hahn, of Marshfield, for County Clerk
c. Z. Boles, OF Grand Rapids, for Register
of Deeds.
County Treasurer.
L. E. Colvin, of Pittsville, for Clerk OF
Court.
for Surveyor.
II. VanRuth, of the town of Port Edwards
for Surveyor
1t has also been settled that At
torney D, d. Conway will be the
nominee of the party for Congressman
in this Tenth District. This nomina-
tion was handed to Mr.. Conway in
such manner that he could not re.
fuse, loath as he was to accept it.
While it has not been decided as
yet, an effort is being made to induce
w. E. Wheeldn to make the race for
District Attorney. The Democrats
think i1r Wheelan as strong man as
they can secure, but in the event of
his absolute refusal some other DEM
ocratic attorney will make the race.

We are glad that Or Demo
cratic neighbor Eugene Thayer,
editor and publisher of the Wau-
sau Pilot-Review has found it
necessary to come to Wood
county for a suitable candidate
for congress in this district. In
a recent editorial published in
his paper, after saying many
complimentary things of one of
our citizens, D. D. Conway, he
presents him to his readers as a
suitable candidate for the Office
of Congress in this district, and
takes occasion to say many nice
things about him. Wood county
possesses good material for any
public office, and either party
have no trouble in finding
good timber for any political
position. We are pleased there
fore that our Wausau friends are
free and willing to draw from
our material. While James H.
Madden Republican candidate
for Congress was in our city
Friday, he met D. D. Conway
who is slated for that nomina-
ton. If a Democrat is to be
elected to this office, of course
we would all be glad to see D. D.
Conway honored by this posi-
ton.
