most marvellous men in the world.
Since being In the east, have wit

fights" Mr.. Knabenshue said. THE
Wrights aeroplane is a success and
will further astonish the world. Their
recent trouble Is only temporary am
will soon be remedied. The inventors
set the center OF gravity on their ma
chine little farther back In order 10
avoid the dipping that has heretofore
troubled them. More power In this
way is required for operating, and the
Wrights found that the engines used
ere unable TO produce t. They are

ing IN the way Of flights.
Il expect flights will be made at the
Michigan state fair. IL will be an
ideal place, and the people will have
en- opportunity OF witnessing one OF
the most marvellous exhibitions ever
seen in the United states"

CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR

mayor in his own home and they were treated in the same polite and gener- ous way as those who have been the mayors closest and most intimate friends. There is no doubt but 1t was the biggest and best entertainment Of it's kind ever, and the kind was of the character that cannot be excelled.
 The union barbers of New London will quit next Saturday night at half past ten o'clock, whether the bosses are in favor or not, provided they abide by a vote of the local union, i. e.. they will not do any work on customers that are admitted into the shops after that hour. So the bosses must comply or a strike will be the re- suit, and what will the unshaved do then, poor things? In addition the barbers demand that shops close at ten o'clock on the nights before holi- days. and that the shops be closed on all holidays except when they come on Saturdays and Mondays when the journeyInen will consent to work un- til noon
 It is said that a majority of the bosses are not opposed to the proposed change in working hours, but there are some who are unfavorable, believing that a failure to accommodate late customers on Saturday nights will e. suit in the loss of business. The claim is made that some customers are not able to leave their work in time to reach the barber shops at the earlier hour. and therefore are liable to go into the shaving business on their own account. The journeymen, however. take no stock in this claim, say that it is silly and not worthy of serious consideration.
 Therefore, the journeymen will per- sist in respect of their ultlmatum and are confident that the present dis agreeing bosses can be whipped into line before Saturday night of next week. The barbers' action has not cre- sted much anxiety to the dear public, the majority of the people believing 1t to be a matter that will adjust it. self without the inconvenience of pa irons and to the satisfaction of the employers and employees.
