A SUGGESTION TO
 THE CANDIDATES

Owing to my intirmity of body it will be difficult for me to make a house to house canvass of the county, and it would be a great personal convenience to me, if we could arrange to meet the voters, at their respective pre- cinctS in each township. This would save us one half of the time and labor of a house to house canvass of the county. This plan would also save the citizens much rations, much an- noyance and very probably much of their religion.
 And at the same time it would not prevent any candidate from canvassing as much more as he might wish to do.
 I would like to hear from the candidates through the county papers or by personal letter.

PAINTED IN FIRST CENTURY
Remarkable Colored Portraits on Wood Found by Prof. Flinders
 Petrie in Egypt.

With the revived interest in art, '2th ancient and modern. 1t is sur )r.sing that so little attention has .-,n patd to the recent exhibition by Tof. Flinders Petrie of some re-
 arkable color portraits which he
 covered ill an Egyptian cemetery Nyoum. The cemetery dates
 om about the first century and its
 Upants wcra probably Romans.
 'e portraits which the professor
 discovered are Daiual on thin
 lar wood and were used as cov- ing over the face of each ma.mi- Jed body. Professor Petrie cousid- IS that these are probably the ear test paintings know. and says that lany of the portraits are ot sCch .ndividuality and strength as to :41llenge comparison with the tech lic and imagination of modern art SIS. Ihs Is particularly remark '5Ic from the fact that the basic material of the paints is beoswax, mich must have been melted to re- .eive the pigment, and then melted gain imemdiately before use. The aolors have been found to consist of mineral ocEre, and haematite, the l9cks and charcoal, and the pinks md purples are madder. It is in- aresting to note that several modern .rtists have attempted to use bees 7aX in their pigments, but the re- suits have been unsatisfactory, owing to its tendency to either harden too slowly, which causes the colors to run, or too quickly, causing the brush to become clouded.

WOULDN'T WASTE HIS BEER.

There was one class of English man who would never have suffered the indignity of having his liquor poured down his sleeve. The agricul- tural laborer of the past could stand his round with the greatest of sports men. Richard Jeffries, in one of his essa. $, casually mentions a proof of thls quality of swallowing ale. "There is scarcely any limit to their power of absorbing beer,' he wrote. q have known reapers and mowers make it their boast that they could lie on their backs and never take the wooden bottle Gin the shape of a small barreD from their lips till they have drunk d gallon"

"This town of New York is pretty light of heel, but 1 find time now and then to realize that 1 am not carrying as much splash as I thought" said siXty-year-old to a irony who had come down to pass a few days i'll the big city. "Before l moved here to live 1 had occasion to be here frequently on business, but l never tarried long enough to have things rubbed in.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

We see from the papers that a warning has gone out from the post office department of the United States to the postmasters throughout prohibition territory, against taking, soliciting or in any way encouraging orders for liquor. All such employees of the government are made to un- derstand very clearly that they must not give aid or assistan ce in any way to citizens who are desirous of procuring liquor, contrary to law.
 It will be well for the officers of every community to carefully read the following general order from this high authority. It reads thus:
 No postmaster or poStotflce employe should give information to liquor dealers or others for the purpose of obtaining com missions on money orders is- sued"
 The rule for rural mail car. riers says:
 Tt has come to the attention of the department that rural carriers in some instances have offered to act as representatives in their communities of liquor houses for a commission upon bus siness secured. Under Sec tion 98 of the rural delivery in- structions, carriers are strictly prohibited from such course, and a violation of the regulations in this particular renders a car rier liable to severe disciplinary action removal. Postmasters are eL joined to see that carriers are not derelict in the particular mentioned"
 We believe we can feel safe as to PreScott'S pOstm aSter and rural carriers. Don't betray our confidence.

JULY BUSY FOR THE POLICE
Officer Allen Takes Prize by PeculiaT
Duty at CORTLAND
Beach,

July was a busy month for the Council
Bluffs police department, the month end
ing with a total of 1873 arrests credited to
the various officers. The largest number
was charged up in the drunk column, the
footing showing a total of seventy-five.
The Migrants came next with twenty five
and the same number OF persons were held
for investigation. Eleven were arrested for
disorderly conduct. ten for disturbing the
peace, ten for violating city ordinances, the
majority being automobile speeders five for
larceny and five for drunk and disorderly.
The remainder were distributed aver a long
list Of offenses, few of which were serious.
There was a remarkable absence of serious
offenses.
The wide range activities of the MEM
bers OF the department started early in the
month with a remarkable feat performed
by Officer Allen while on duty at CORTLAND
beach. A young woman, while attempting
TO bend down a clasp on a woven silver
purse forced the frame Of the purse over
half a dozen of her front teeth, the mar
row metal edges slipping between the teeth
and becoming locked there by the spring
of the metal She could not release 1t MOI
could any OF her companions. She was in
great pain and the blood was flowing from
the lacerated gums. Then her friends told
her trouble to the policeman. Among the
numerous odd instruments attached to the
key ring he found one that could be used
20 spread the purse frame and break the
wedging grip on the young womans teeth
In addition to such things as this the
officers investigated and reported six acct
dents, prevented one suicide. frustrated
one burglary and reported eight others

elusive right of its use. He asks for writ

The placing of numerous big fly traps
in front Of the business houses along
Middle Broadway, especially the provision
and grocery stores, has caused an appreci-
able diminution of the flies that have been
swarming along the store fronts and bask-
ing in the sunshine on the sidewalks. Some
Of the fly traps that have been carefully
baited and cared for have yielded about
half a bushel of flies in twenty-four hours.
The traps were introduced here by Rev.
King and when he failed to induce a
local manufacturing plant to undertake
the manufacture Of them, he secured the
assistance Of H. J. Bublitz and has been
attempting to supply the demand, turning
them out at the rate Of half a dozen a
day and furnishing them at cost Their
use has demonstrated the fact that II one
was placed in front of every business house

city would be exterminated. The members
of the fire department have become en-
| thuslastic advocates of the new method
of swatting the fly and have made several

law, has been submitted to Judge wheeler
upon an agreed statement of facts. which

to appeal to the supreme court at once.
the appeal will represent but two saloon
men. although every ore in the city and
county Is named in the general list and
agreement by which they waive all rights
and privileges TO carry on the fight ]. f.
Warrington was selected yesterday as one
OF the two and an affidavit was filed by
County Attorney Cappell charging him with
contempt of court in violating an injunction
issued on June 81. 1909, when all the saloon
men voluntarily went into court and had
themselves enjoined and three days later
closed up for one day to begin anew the
next.
Warrington is also one Of the men to
whom the city council issued permits on
June 10 OF this year, and his case includes
this feature, with the additional feature
that he was enjoined under the name of
Frank Warrington and within a month
has transferred his license to j. N. Walk
ing. His case thus covers about all Of the
issues raised that can be touched by the
contempt procedure. The other case will
simply cover the injunction features in
which injunction is asked on the ground
that the Moon law only permits the ex-
istence OF one saloon to each 1000 popu-
iation, or twenty-nine in the city instead
of fifty-three.
The case will go TO the supreme court
with full history of every saloon in the
city with the facts agreed upon. 1t was
submitted to Judge Wheeler with the briefs
of both sides fully completed and ready for
filing so that appeal may be taken to the
higher court Immediately after his opinion
Is received.
