1875 said Shank in a statement is
sued after he filed his petition.
Shank's candidacy has been assailed
on the ground that he would not take
the ONCE seriously. He has been
charged with being "cut-up."
torneys have signed public indorse
ment Of the candidacy Of William N
Harding for the republican nomina
ton for mayor The indications are
that Harding will be supported by q
majority Of the business and profess
sional men, but Shank is regarded a
being very strong among the laborins
classes.

Hens Gathered in
From Far and Near
Talking.

From the Milwaukee Journal
Words are easily spoken. There are
some who are speaking them all day
long. They talk, talk. talk, and, when
done. neither they nor any one else
could tell single thing they said
worth remembering. The gift Of
speech is to be highly valued. but it
should be used with care. When one
talks very much little attention is CIV
en- to what he says, for no one can
talk all the time and give due thought
to his conversation. When talk comes
in constant stream there will be lit
tie sense in it. A silence now and
then makes what one says more i'm
pressive. Every one likes a sociable
man, one who has something pleasant
to say, who has intuition as to the
mood of his listener and the kind of
talk most appropriate to the time.
There are times when the silent COM
panion is the one for whom you are
most grateful. II is great thing to
know when to be silent.

four thousand people attended the Ha-

was considered good but was not as
large as Thursday of last year. The
amphitheater was packed and large

inspecting the different exhibits. At
least twenty-five other fairs were rep

The one mile run was also called off
for the same reason.
Hacks, carriages and autos did a
big business carrying the people home

O'Clock, a terrific wind and rain
storm came up, very unexpectedly,
especially to those in the grandstand.
The wind hurled great clouds of dust
about the grounds and the rain de-

have an external stimulus. 1t is safe
