CANDIDACY
Prediction That He VIII Not Run On
the Moose Ticket.

Pierre, June 23.-One of the lead
ing insurgent democrats of the state
makes the statement that r. f. Dow
dell has not, nor will he probably ac-
cept, the bull moose nomination to
the senate, which was wished on him
at the Huron meeting; that Dowdell
is not a bull mooser i'm any way, and
not i'm sympathy with the movement.
That il is possible Dowdell may be
an independent democratic candidate
for the senate, but not a bull mooser,
1t is claimed that along with other
insurgent democrats he wants to
clear the democratic party from the
Johnson influences, and that he feels
he will be doing the party a favor il
he can In any way help along such a
movement. But the one thing Ger.
tain is that Dowdell has not yet given
the bull moose any assurance that he
will accept their action at Huron.
In regard to the senatorial situa.
tion generally, one of the leading ole
time progressives while here recently
was discussing the possibilities OF
Dowdell as a bull mooser drawing
democratic-insurgent votes, and while
expressing his ~displeasure at the
nomination of Congressman Burke
he said the insurgent democrats have
but one idea just now, and that is to
wipe out the Johnson faction. To dc
this they r not going to cast any
ballots for Dowdell, but will put them

The Trend Of the Times.

In all branches of business, either
commercial or those Of amusement,
imposing magnitude is sought as a
necessary appeal to the public for the
bestowal OF patronage. The business
man who buys in large quantities and
and offers the best goods and more OF
them-for the least money will, by
the universal laws OF Nature, ultimately
obtain control OF the lines in which he
deals.
Following the same kind Of argument
to parallel conclusion in the show bus
mess, the w. /. Swain Show Co. may
be cited as having achieved like result
by their adoption OF methods by which
patrons are given a maximum of value
for maximum price. Just picture to
yourself three thousand care-worn,
work-surfeited show fans assembled in
the big brilliantly lighted Swain show
tent, all enjoying good show at a
trifiing price OF admission, and you have
the answer-SUCCESS.
The w. Swain Shows are due in

Through the efforts Of Secretary Quinn
and the Business Mems Club Messrs.
w. H. and H. P. Wade, Of Kenton,
have been interested in the opening Of
the strawberry culture in the vicinity Of
Union City on a general scale. We
mean by this to grow enough berries
for car shipments. Messrs. Wade have
their eyes on several good farms in the
proximity of Union City, and possibly
before we go to press some Of these
lands will be secured. They want one
hundred acres in a body near the city
and in easy reach Of labor, so that every
thing in the way Of growing berries will
be practical. This will open new in
dustry here and one that has been very
profitable ia the counties below us.
Strawberries are being raised here to
some extent, but not enough to make
the culture general crop. We certain
Nv welcome the efforts Of these good
citizens and hope they will have the
very best possible advantages to be
found here and the right kind Of en-
enlargement from our own people. We
need these industries and welcome them.

Warehouse for Cotton.

The Business Mems Club and our
business men generally are interested in
establishing cotton warehouse in Union
City, so that cotton can be ginned and
stored here until a satisfactory price can
be obtained. When the market opens
price will be set, and il this is too
small then by means of warehouse adj
vantages cotton growers can bring their
cotton here and have it ginned and
stored The warehouse will be bonded
and warehouse receipt will be given for
the cotton. The banks OF the country
are arranging to make an advance on
this cotton in storage, probably rs per
cent of the market price. AT meeting
Monday night committee was appoint
ed to develop these arrangements and to-
get complete particulars to work on.
They are to confer with headquarters
and get the plans in full. T. L. Pitt
man, j. A. CobIe and y. @. Burdick
constitute the committee on this work,
and will report probably before we go to
press. Anyway the business men Of
Union City are getting behind this
movement and some arrangements will
be made to handle the cotton at the
best prices in this part Of the State or Of
Kentucky. Mr.. Pittman is ginning
cotton at so cents, and this is also a
considerable inducement to the cotton
grower Nobody in this country has
handled cotton in a more satisfactory
way to the producer than Mr.. Pittman
and he is now doing everything possible
to sustain the reputation he has already
made, as well as to get business for his
company. This also stimulates BUSH
ness in Union City and we should all
get together and help boost the work.
There has been no opening market
for cotton, and the outlook, on account
Of the war, has been very gloomy. This
is the cause OF the special efforts being
made to protect the cotton grower, and
our citizens are losing no time IN the
matter.
1t is more than probable that the
opening price will be as low as at any
time afterwards or during the cotton
season, so the cotton in warehouse is not
likely to depreciate in price, but will
bring more money when it is marketed

Alma. Where Do You Livep"

Weber & Fields. is producer who has
engineered many musical plays and
travesties to successful production, is
the original producer Of Alma, Where
Do You Liver" which will be present.
ed at the Reynolds Theatre Thursday
night, Sept. "a.
The play is described as French
vaudeville, which is the only descrip-
tive phrase Mr.. Weber could hit upon,
as it is not a musical comedy, farce
with music, or an operetta. Yet it has
all the characteristics and popular fea-
lures OF all OF these In adopting the
original French book and in composing
the seventeen lyrics, Mr.. Hobart has
eliminated all of the Objectionable fea-
lures of the play, retaining only enough
of the story to build the series of farci-
cal complications which gave the piece
its vogue for record runs in New York.
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, where
the press and theatre-going public pro-
claimed it to be one Of the most pleas
ing musical plays that has ever been
produced.
Alma" is facinating French mill
liner who is induced to lure an unso-
phisticated boy to propose to her in or
der to make him lose fortune OF four
million francs that has been left to him
with the provision that he does not
make love to or propose to woman up
to certain date. But she falls in love
with Pierre" saves his fortune and
finally marries him after the time limit
in the will has expired. It is pretty
and romantic story, complicated with
the most amusing situations.
