ONLY A SMALL NUMBER DF
VOTERS HAVE QUALIFIED
FOR CITY ELECTION.

Only 1872 voters have so far regis
tered for the municipal election to
be held next month, at which four
aldermanic candidates will be nomi-

ever, that during the next two weeks
he will be kept very busy, as a large
majority of the voters always wait

SWEEPING IS HIGH.
PRICE OF BROOMs CONTINUES TO
INcREASE-FIFTY PER CENT.
INCREASE IN MONTH.

There has been great protest
raised by the housewives upon the in
creased price of 'stick handle
brooms. During the past sixty days
the price has advanced more thar
so per cent and it is said that the
price will advance still further, as the
broom corn yield has been consider
ably curtailed this year by the hot
winds.
The price of broom corn has ad
vanced to the broom manufacturers
from to 10 cents per pound, and
some of the manufacturers believe ii
will reach Is cents per pound.
By the price of broom corn being
advanced it has become necessary fol
! the brooms to be increased in price
and brooms that formerly sold for q
cents are now selling for 40 and &c
cents.
The broom corn raised in the Unit I'd
Gtates comes from Illinois, Oklahoma
and Kansas. The hot winds of Okla
homa killed at least two thirds o1
the crop, and the same was almost
true with the other states. This
makes the possible yield in the United
States $4,000 to 10000 tons, while
the natural consumption is from 49,
600 to $4,000 tons.
1t is said that 10000 tons of broom
corn will make 1728O,Q0O brooms ani
there are 15,000.OO0 families 10 use

will be one and one seventh broom

about the railroads, steamboat lines

services during the first two days the
revival services, now being held at

unusually interesting sermons by the
two evangelists who are conducting
the revival. Yesterday three services
were held and at each Of them the
attendance was large and the services
interesting.
For the remainder of the week two
