The result of the recount of the votes
cast at the recent city election in that
1t seated Mr.. Cushwa was gratifying
to the democrats but general regret is
ex pressed over the loss of Mr.. Cum
miskey OF the fourth ward. The re-
count seems to have revealed the fact
that large errors were made in count
ing the tickets in two wards, viz in
the mistakes were against the demo
Gratis and when corrected gave Mr..
Cushwa a majority but in the fourth
ward the errors were the other way
aud when corrected resulted in the de-
feat of Mr.. Cumiskey.

BIn 1894 and 1896 when democratic
speaker made a good telling speech
and had made a profound impression
on his audience some republican
would vel, ''Soup House" and all the
eloquent effort was for naught- In this
year OF 1908 we are happy to say 1t Is
our time and we have ample excuse for
breaking up republican speakers by
crying out "Soup House" When you
hear republican politician on the
stump just say "soup house, to him
and see him melt.

Unprecedented Drop in Price OF Wool

Unprecedented Drop in Price OF Wool.
The price of wool has dropped from
30 cents, last years price to II cents,
the price that is being offered at pres
emit. This Is perhaps the greatest de-
cline in the price of wool in so short a
time on recors Even the price ruling
new is weak aud many persons believe
it will still 60 lower, as there is very
little demand for it on account of the
idle wooden mills all over the country
Commodity is now almost az low as it
was at any time during the so-called
Cleveland panic, when our Republi-
can friends claim it was only low tar
if, while the Democrats claimed it
was on account of the supply and de-
mand. The Record is gratified to know
that its Republican friends can now
agree with it on one point, at least.
We are sorry to see the farmers reeeiv-
ing such low price for their wool,
and especially during these hard times
but they must bear in mind, that It
wasn't a Cleveland panic nor low tar
if that brought about this condition
of things, but that 1t has come under
the highest tariff ever placed on wool
the gold standard and Republican ad-
ministration. West Union Record.

Secretary Taft put his foot IN his
mouth in making speech at the tomb o.
General Grant in New York on decor
alton day. He referred to the weakness
of Grant for drink in way thft was
cruel and keenly felt by the old SOL
der friends of Grant. This break of
Taft's may make him his own Bur
chard and his decoration speech may
defeat him for the republican nominal
ton when ali seems such clear sailing

She rollerskated greatly-'twas the
chief of her delights;
She rollerskated mornings and she
rolIerskated nights;
The always rollerskated when the sky
was fair, you bet,
And, too, she rollerskated when the
day was damp and wet.
She rollerskated up the street, she
rcllerskatcd down;
blooming town,
Where'er the patent pavement led
she'd rollerskate, and then
She'd rollerskate herself around and
skate it DER again.
She rollerskated on her calls. she dit :
toed to the shops,
She even rollerskated past the brist-
ling, angry cops;
she rollerskated frie ds away, she
rollerskated me;
She rollerskated TIL her ma has got
insanitee.
And I've no doubt that on a day, the
the marriage contract signed,
She'll rollerskate adow a the aisle, her
brides veil pinned behind;
And later on, when it's her time TO see
the pearly gates,
I'll bet she'll whisk up to them on a
pair of rollerskates.
