Paint or Not
Is a horse worth more or less after feed

Is horse worth more or less after feed?
Hay and oats are high today; shall /
wait today and feed him tomorrow
That's how men do about painting their
houses and barns and fences. Paint has
been high for several years; and so they
have waited. Paint is high yet; they are
still waiting; thousands Of 'em are wait
ing for paint to fall.
Their property drops trile a year and
the next job creeps-up creeps-up creeps-
up; it'll take more paint by O gallon a
year; they don't save cent, and the prop
erty goes-on suffering.

DAYS DO|NCS IN
DISTRICT COURT
END OF TERM DRAWS NEAR -
VERDICT OF GUILTY IN MlLSON
CASE.

Yesterday afternoon in the district
court the jury in the Lester Nilsson
case for the murder of John Wingate
near Keller last Augusta after being
out for about three hours returned
a verdict of guilty and assessed his
punishment to five years in the state
penitentiary.
The verdict was somewhat sur
prise to even the friends OF the ac-
cused, as it was freely predicted that
the punishment would be much great
er. He will begin serving his sen
tence at once.
This morning the case of Raymond
'Waddington for assault on DICK
Campbell was taken and a jury drawn,
there are but two more cases on the
criminal docket at this term OF court
and it was predicted that the jury
might be discharged from further
duty this afternoon.

those arranged for today and tomor-

eel the engagements which are i'm
mediately ahead OF me without sub
jecting those who have arranged
them to very serious embarrass-
ment and great deal Of expense,
but shall cut the series at the ear

at no time taken an active part In
the campaign. and I have no desire
to be the single candidate on the

THOUSANDS ENJOY
STREET PARADE
SEllS.FlOTO SHOW GREETED
BY DENSE THRONGS THIS
MORNING.

The interested crowd which is al
ways attracted by circus thronged
the downtown streets this morning
to witness the parade of the Sells
Floto shows. which elected many IA
vorable comments on account of the
splendid appearance of the horses
and the equipment, in spite Of the
fact that it is practically the end OF
the circus season, when the wear and
tear of the summers experiences is
likely to be very much in evidence.
The people who appeared in the
parade also seemed to be of better
class than are usually seen in that
, connection and kept up the same high
, class standard which was the no
ticeabe feature of the parade.
The appearance OF elephants in
harness, driven by some handsomely
gowned women furnished a feature
which attracted much comment ana
one which has not been seen even
with the larger shows. The Sells
Floto show has always boasted OF
its trained elephants. Heretofore
they have been shown by man
trainer, but this year they are in
charge of Nine. Lucio Fora young
woman who has shown that she could
handle the beasts as well as any fam
GUS animal educators who have won
fame in that line.
The show exhibited to big crowd
this afternoon at the show grounds
and will give another performance
this evening
