What sort Of HONOR must

tuition that will permit the fol
lowing practices to prevail:
\ Newark house that pretends
to be reputable and reliable has
been selling coffee at 15c per
pound, and made a speciality OF it
for a long time. They have also
been selling a woman's skirt at
$175.
Recently they held a SPE-
CIAL SALE, and in this special
sale they put the price OF 15c col
fee UP to lie PER POUND
and announced it as very special,
and the $1.7j skirt was raised for
this special sale to $3.50 and an
nounCed as a very special thing.
The sale continued for several
days, and a great many pounds
of coffee were sold at lie and
great many skirts were sold at
$3.50.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE SPECIAL SALE was
over, the former prices were re-
sumed, and the same coffee can
be bought to-day for l5c, and
ditto the same skirt at $1.75.

Rochester. n. Y. Oct 2s.-The complete
and utter denunciation Of Mr. Dix. Tam
many Hall, and everybody connected with
them goes on relentlessy. There is no
respite. Mr.. Roosevelt will not let up.
He went at them all hammer and tongs
to-day.
Here. where the Democrats nominated
Mr.. Dix. the colonel held forth at two
big meetings tonight. There was a GER
tain interest attached 10 the fact that
convention of the opposition did the things
that appear 70 Mr.. Roosevelt 10 be SIMS
ter in the highest degree. His extended
references TO Room 212" and the use OF
other catch phrases amused them amaz-

very glad hand.
Mr.. Roosevelt was so busy with the
preparation OF letter 20 Judge Baldwin.
Of Connecticut. to-day that he did not
OFFER much that was novel in his assault
upon Dix and the Democratic ticket. He
repeated what he has been saying right
along, but he repeated it with a facility
that caught the ears OF his audiences
quicker than heretofore.
Rochester turned out a big crowd to
greet the colonel upon his entrance TO
town early this evening. The police
worked hard az the railroad station.
More than 1900 people who iammed into
the hall cheered for five minutes when
the colonel took the platform.
Again Attacks Murphy.
The main point that the colonel tried
10 bring out before his audience was that
Mr.. Murphy did control the convention.
and that Mr.. Dix is only a creature of
Mr.. Murphy. He quoted from tho New

further alterations made.

came in and picked out a suit
the same quality as her own, only
a different color, and asked the
owner OF the store the price of the
suit. Instead Of quoting the price
openly, he pulled a pad from his
pocket and wrote down on a slip
OF paper the price at which he
would sell the suit to the other
lady.
The lady who was getting her
suit altered looked upon that in
cldent as a direct insult to her,
and caused her to feel that she
could not depend upon the prices
quoted by that store, so she made
up her mind that never again will

Allison Johnson, engineer on the X.

by steam from his engine last Monday.
He had reached Kalamazoo on the
morning run and found that something
was out of order with his engine. He
climbed from the cab and crawled un-

the trouble if possible. While lying on
his back examining the mechanism of
the engine his fireman started the In
jector to fill the boiler with water. The
escaping steam from the pipes struck
Mr.. Johnson full in the face, scalding
him in a terrible canner

the sight of one, and possibly both eyes.
He is one of the oldest engineers on
the road and this is his first serious acci-
dent. 1t is hoped that his injuries will
not prove as serious as at first reported
and that he may recover without any
serious conseq
No blame is attached to the fireman
who is directly responsible for the acci-
dent. He did not know that Mr.. John
son was near the steam pipe when the
injector was started.

MUST ENROLL FOR
THE PRIMARIES
All Political Parties Must Enroll.
Last Chance Before Primaries.

Attention is called to several features
of the new primary law which are prob
ably not thoroughly understood by the
voters of the county. Ia the first place
all political parties must nominate their
candidates for county offices and also
governor and lieutenant governor by
the primary system. The primaries
for this purpose will be held through
out the state on Tuesday, September 6,
1910. Heretofore the law has affected
the republican party only, but now it
applies to all parties
The primary statute fixes the first
Monday in April preceding the Septem
Der primary as enrolment day. This is
the only opportunity that will be given
members of the various political par
ties for enrolment. The enrolment
board will be in session at the opera
house on Monday, April 4, and those
who are not already enrolled under the
previous statute must make applca-
ton to the board on that day for such
enrolment. The statute provides that
in case of sickness or unavoidable alb
sence, parties may be enrolled later.
Also those who become 2l years of age
after enrolment day, and prior to Sep
tember 6, can also be enrolled.
Voters of all political parties should
bear in mind that Monday, April A, is
enrolment day, and that it will be the
only day on which they can be enrolled.
To vote at the primaries, ore must be
enrolled under the party of their poiti-
cal faith. Monday, April 4, is the day.
II you would participate in the nomlna-
ton of the various candidates on Sep
tember 6, be sure to enroll.
This of course applies to those who
are not already enrolled under the old
statute. Registration and enrolment
however, do not mean the same. Bear
this in mind.

NOVEL LURE TO
AVOID LIQUOR
Kansas Merchant Offers to Give Goods
in Exchange for the Value of
Daily Drinks.

The following is a special despatch
to the Chicago Reco-d- Herald, dated at
Topeka, Kansas, March IL. 1t was pub
lshed ia the Record Herald last Sun
day. 1t Is novel and unique method
of barter and lure to avoid the use of
liquor.
Prohibition is a settled question in
Kansas Four years ago the saloon and
the Joint" disappeared, and year ago
the drug store was barred from the sale
of liquor, even for the excepted purpos-
es as prescribed in the state constitu-
tion. Notwithstanding the advance
Kansas has made in the enforcement of
its prohibitory law, the people continue
to point object lessons to those who
have been accustomed to the use of
whiskey.
One of the most striking methods yet
resorted to as warming to the regular
drinker comes from merchant in Eff
fingham, who figures out the cost of
three drinks of whiskey each day, and
then tells what the money would buy il
used for the needs of the household.
The merchant puts the following in his
regular advertisement, and his offer of
barter is unique.
Here is the proposal: Anyone who
takes three drinks Of whiskey day for
one year and pays ten cents drink for
it can have in exchange at my store:

REPUBLICANS WILL
CAUCUS TOMORROW
No Opposition to Young for Super

Scrap for Office of Treasurer.

The republican electors should remem-
Der that the caucus for the nomination
of the various township officers will be
held at the opera house on Saturday,
March 26, at 2:30 p. IN.
As stated in these columns last week.
there will probably be no opposition to
the nomination of Merl II. Young for
supervisor and Bert Bennett for clerk
Both have served for one year, and have
given universal satisfaction.
For treasurer, A. w. Showerman, Roy
Tuttle and Ella Bathrick will fight for
the nomination.
For highway commissioner, Clarence
Smith has announced himself as a can
didate. He is the only candidate men
toned for the place TO date.
For the other places on the ticket, no
other names have been mentioned The
caucus will undoubtedly be well attend
ed, and a ticket placed in nomination
that will be a credit To the party and a
winner at the polls on election day
