printiOn for .'Typewritero Ribbons.

Bucyrus. Ohio. May g6-In the
State constitutional convention at
Columbus is a delegate from this sec
ton who. "A story runs. arose in his
committee recently to oppose bill
that. he thought represented an en-
penditure for the personal decoration
of the girls empl yed on stenographic
work by the convention.
The bill was for s27 for typewriter
ribbons. Its opponents flow of lam
guage was shut off only when a
colleague terked him by the coattails
to whisper the information that ma
chines, not girls. wore the ribbons.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 3.-Reports

refer to Keokuk in the following man
ner: There is a reason for every

a reason of transportation. Thus it
is the reason for London, New York
City and San Francisco, Boston, is a

are good for they have places to build
