exquisite aud handsome costumes

appeal especially to the ladies and
children in the audience. In rentradis-

The services will begin at 10 o'clsek

Democrats, 1t is necessary for you to
register before you can vote. The law
plainly says that nobody can vote
whose name 10 not on the registrars
book. You must be registered before
ysu go the polls. The registrar mas
until October first to do his work and
after that date ysu cannot get on with
cut considerable trouble. The only
way to get on the list after Oct. /, is
to 20 to the registrar on the day he
may publish that he will sit at his
precinct, one day, mind you, and one
day before the County court on the
last Monday In October aud as the
law provides for but one day for the
court to sit, it looks like an impossible
ity for them to review the entire list
and you may not get on and thus lose
your vote.
We publish list OF the official reg
istrars, appointed by the County court,
read 1t carefully, see who your regis
trar is, then hunt hin up and have
your name registered, do not delay
but do it at the earliest momeHt.

One OF the objections Republicans
make to Mr.. Bryan Is that he 10 just
the same Bryan he was eight and
twelve years ago. Another objection
to him is that he has changed very
much since then. He is said to be
changeabis; he IL q weather-esck; he
takes up any issue that he thinks will
be popular. -
Which will the Republicans have
him? Both the objections cannot be
well-founded.
Mr.. Taft was injudicious enough the
other day to accuse his rival OF being
trimmer. Mr.. Bryan had no trouble
in disposing Of this charge, and In In
Producing his reply he said very
clever thing Of the Presidents letter TO
Kehrs:
Mr.. TAN has promised prosperity IL
he Is elected. Yesterday he placed on
his prsspbrity prommissory note the
indorsemiAnt Of Theodore Roosevelt,
who, when II comes to panics, IL =
bankrupt.
In view or events not a year old,
what d. Republicans promises Of pros
perity amount to?
Mr.. Bryan's opinions are those
which he has been advocating for
many years, with q single omission.
When the currency question was an
issue he was an advocate sf free silver
coinage. It il net an issue new, and ,he
IL not discussing II. He does mot pre-
tend TO have changed his opinions, aDd
he IL net supposed to havs changed BY
the sound money Democrats who OPP
posed HIM on the coinage issue tn 1896,
and support him to-day becaise there
IL no such issue.
But Mr.. Taft has already changed
his views to meet those sf his party on
the tariff with the Philippines aud on
tariff revision; he has changed his
views on injunctions since he was !
Judge, and one Of the first two Judges
% use the injunction In labor troubles.

Letter From csliiernf..

The following interesting letter was
written by our former townsman, Mr..
George M. Busey, to friend here. We
feel that it will be Of interest to all Of
our readers. Mr.. Busey lives in River
side, California; place where they
have perpetual summer. He moved
there for the benefit of his health and
we are glad to say that he has found it
very beneficial.
ssOranges are now getting to be
good size on the trees. They
aare from / IA to 2 inches in dla-
meter, but of course perfectly green.
They will begin to tura yellow now in
about month or six weeks and some
of the earlier ones will be ripe in time
for Christmas. Many of the groves are
now being sown down in Vetch, which
will be turned under like clover, dur
ing Jsauary and February, this crop
10 regarded as very popular sas fer
tilizer and is growing more popular
each year with the orange grower.
My Health has been wonderfully i'm
proved this summer When we came I
was watching my diet very carefully
and warding off attacks Of the rheu-
matism, by judicious use of medicines
and by avoiding the things which
seemed to bring it On among which
were raw fruits Of all kinds.
seem now to be able to eat almost
anything and rarely have occasion for
medicine.
The fruits and vegetables are of such
unusually fine quality that to be de-
MED them would be a great punish
ment. We seem to have everything we
have back east, and in addition melons
and cantelepes and peaches and .apri-
cots Of varieties and qualities we never
heard of before. Berries, figs and nuts,
besides vegetables Of all kinds and the
finest quality.
In fact to diet here. and cut out
what grows right around US would be
the greatest punishment i'm aginable.
We find that we do not care for near
~ az much meat and rich food as we
were accustomed to back east but pre-
fer fruits and vegetables.
My wife finds the fruits SO tempting
that she insists on putting them up. I
ask nsr what she is going to do with
them, we will probably have fruit all
the year round. Oh, can't bear to see
it 60 by. she says.
One Of the great crops here is Alfalfa.
Some of the men / knew here are cut
ting their fifth and sixth crops this
season, and will cut two to three more.
Many of them make as mach as two
tons to the acre to the cutting, and it
has been selling here all summerat SI2
and upward, firm the field. That
makes pretty good return per acre, L
think.
