Mr.. Thompson is reelected to a sec

believe he can bring about a reduced
rate Of street car fare, those same
votes would go to men in the alder
manic contests who would support
him. The voter could not consistently

fact that this Is presidential year, the

the hottest in years and one OF close
contests.
There are at least 10 candidates in
the field for the nomina Jon for city

fore the entries are all in there will
be as many for, sheriff, and that race Is
going to be pretty one. Here Geo.

found pitted. As both OF these men
are popular and vote-getters, this con-
test will be watched with interest.
The aldermanic contests will as
sumo rather vigorous proportions also,
for the settlement OF the street rail

next council. This means that the
Democrats must put forth every eff

In another place In this issue IS an
article relating to the growth OF the
Pioneer Telephone company in Gutlrie
llt that article an attempt has been
NJ lde to explain, from a wholly inde-
pendent point of view, why 1t was
necessary for the company TO raise
their rates at this place a short while
back. in connection with that article
a few comparative rates were unayoid-
ably omitted. Knowing that they
would be Of considerable interest. we
give them here as follows.
First, let it be kept in mind that the
rates here under the proposed change
are $36 per year for business phones,
and $24 per year for residence phones.
The contention of the Pioneer com
Tany is that tais is OF an unreasonable
rate, and that raise from the old
rates to these was necessary in order
to pay a diviaend upon the increased
cost of instruction and maintenance.

Good results in painting at the least

Chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test

should be Linseed Oil Those best in

ingredients separately and have their

Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea.sized bit OF White Lead
on piece Of charcoal or piece Of

see what it will do. If IL is pure

The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed desire for

a generous woman and pleased at the
improvement, and in order that her
husband might have a nibble at any
time he had taste for 1t, put some
cheese in every room In the house.
