One of the vulgar customs of the times is
gum chewing. A woman may be ever so
pretty , but with a big quid of gum in her
mouth she is deformed , llegular gum chew-
erssoon develop the masseter muscles , undu
ly enlarge the mouth , and increase the size
of the salivary glands , and eventually change
the entire expression of the lace. It is a
thoughtless , vicious , ugly practice at its best ,
and parents should see to it that it is not
fastened upon the children.
An unknown man secreted himself behind

behind it. Thinking it to be an article care
less thrown there by the little ones , she
opened the door for the purpose of picking
up the supposed misplaced article. Imagine
her surprise when she there espied a human
being of the male persuasion ! Shelled to
Fred Xoreu's residence , across the street ,
where she fell in a faint before being able to
tell the object of her visit When she had
sufficiently recovered some minutes after
wards , the intruder had departed for parts
unknown , and a careful search failed to dis
close his whereabouts.
The National > Gamo.
The admirers of th'i national game in tin
elthad tho plcasme of witnessing tun
games , this wc < k , on the home diiiuinui1 ,
in both of which the local club came out
with victory peiching high on tier banner.
On Wednesday afternoon tho
FAMOUS VS. UKXKKLMAN
game occurred , the visiting brethren front the
county Dundy being short one tally in u score
of 17 to 10. The home team had theirsecoiid
nine pitcher. Clyde , In the box , which ac
counts for tho largeness of the score. The
"Benkelmans" are u clever lot of hoys and
play fair ball , although not able to cope with
our regular battery. On the following after
noon the game between the
FAMOUS AM ) AlCAPAHOKK
was played , the young men from down the
road being thoroughly defeated , the Famous
boys having sixteen bright tallies to their
credit , while the Arapahoes were unable to
pile up moie than 10. Atter the second in
ning , when the home team , by a series of re
ntal kablc hits , succeeded in laying lqiIscores )
on the credit side of tlte ledger , and practic
ally decided the outcome of the contest , the
game was close and exciting , goose eggs be
ing common on both sides. It was , in fine ,
one of tlie best and most interesting games
of the season. A game the visitois will have
occasion to lemember by reason of the dollars
they left behind them. The gentlemen from
Arapahoe thought the interpictatiou of the
handwriting on the wall was "success , " and
backed their boys heavily. They returned
home a number of hundred dollars shoit
but long on experience.
The Flouring Mill Assured.
The matter has progressed to a point where
we feel safe in stating that before we "ring
out the old and ring in the new year" McCook
will have added to her other evidences of en
terprise a fine flouring mill of 75 barrels ca
pacity , fully equipped with the latest and
most approved machinery of tlte roller sys
tem. Messrs. A. J. Thompson & Co. are the
gentlemen who have * undeitaken to push this
enterprise to a successful issue , and that is
sufficient evidence and guarantee that it will
be carried right on to completion. The site
has been secured , the S1,000 bonus lias been
raised among a few of our public spirited and
generous business men , a side track to the
proposed mill assured , and Mr. Thompson is
now in Columbus , Ohio , headquarters for
milling machinery , purchasing the necessary
machinery for the plant , concerning which
we shall have more to say in due time. Mr.
Thompson seems to possess the true business
instinct required to assure success in such
projects , and he has taken hold with an earn
estness that makes success. As an earnest of
their intention the gentlemen have put up
S500 , which will be forfeited to tlie public
schools of the city m case of failure on their
part to fulfill their agreement

manded. Besides the entrance to the hotel

changes tending to improve the architectural
appearance , as well as conducing to conven
ience and comfort , will be made.
Had it With Him asTsual.
The publisher of the Democrat always car
ries his gall with him. Last week , under
caption of "Political Tips , " he published an
article of his own manufacture , over signa
ture of "A Good Republican. " This week ,
he has the mastodonic cheek to approach the
republican nominee referred to in the squib ,
and whom he has at intervals paragraphed
with customary disregard of truth , and to ask
him whether lie proposes to answer the anon
ymous article ornot through the Democrat.

Hereafter the watches of the Pennsylvania
Railroad trainmen must be examined by a
jeweler. If the watch is in good running or
der the owner is given a certificate , which he
must present before he is permited to tnke a
train out. The owner of any watch that docs
not pass muster is compelled to purchase nn-
other or leave the company's employ. All
watches must be inspected once a mouth , for

A railroad man who has given the matter
careful study and attention , says that there is
more lumber lying between the rails of the
great carrying thoroughfares of the United
States , to-day , than there was in all tne coun
try twenty-live jenrsiign. This statement is
of more than ordinary interest as hearing up
on the forests or th" country. Indeed , so
great has been the draft upon the timber sup
ply for this purpose , that experiments are
now beiug made with other material for tics
In some portions of the East granite has been
employed for this purpoee with satisfactorv
results , and it is encouraging to note that its
use is extending.

Col. Jesso Harper 's Day.
Last Saturday was Col. Jes. e Harper 's day.
All bis own. Incidentally , however , the
union labor friends had some fun on thesici- ,
and made a verycreditabie showing in their
toiciilight procession in the evening. But
Colonel JvASti wits the heavy "piece" in the
pyrotechnics. Tlie somewhat noted green-
backer , with his prtsui.iticul oratory and car
pet bag full of "Aggers" entertained fair-sized
audiences both afternoon and evening , in a
characteristic , old-time greenback speech , it ;
the which fact and fancy , "liggers" and fust
ian were indiscriminately commingled , the
same being highly and enjoyably seasoned
with anecdotesullicienllj humorous to keep
the audience awake and attentive. The
Colonel is an old campaigner , knows whatlo
say and what to let remain unsaid. I le failed
to say much about one Streeler , and we have
kindly made good the omission. How does
the photo strike your fancy , toilers of the
held ?
The following we clip from the Tnpeka
Commonwealth , which is an extract from a
speecli made at Laniard , Kansas , by Judge

of our union labur friends doubt the truth
fulness of this statement , they can write and
have the recoids examined. In speaking .f
A. J. Streeter , the union labor candidate for
president , lie says :
He is a resident of Meteor county , Illinois ,
where he owns 1.-00 acres of as line land as
there is in the Uaitcd States. He owns more
mortgages on farms in Mercer and Ionian
counties , Illinois , than any live men in either
or these counties. All told he is worth about
S1.00O.0O0 and ho is now posing neioro the
country as a great Trieod of the laboring man.
the over taxed and interest ridden farmer ,
when as a matter of fact he himself is one of
the most cold-blooded twelve per centers 111
the country. In li'G" Streeter was county su
pervisor of Ionian county. The board of su
pervisors had by resolution ordered that all
destitute widows , wives and children of volun
teer soldiers who had enlisted in the union ; ; : -
my should be cared for and furnished tho
necessaries of lifa. What do you think this
man Streeterdid ? He introduced a resolution
before the hoard directing that no tea , coffee
or sugar , which he termed luxuries oT lil'c , be
furnished to these destitute widows and fami
lies of men who had fought and were then
fighting the battles of their country. This re
solution passed the hoard and Streeter voted
far it. This is the manner or man who is now-
talking to the ex-soldiers resident in Kansas
and soliciting their rotes far president. Why.
ir his record was known he w-uld not poll a
corporal's guard or a vote in this state. Wat !
riiave said about him I can prove by certifi
cates rrom the count ) ' clerk , of Tnmaii and
Mercer counties. They are sworn statements
given under the seal of the court and are
therefor" irrefutable.

The recent inquiry made by congress
with respect to the amount of money

valuable facts. Two hundred and rilf-
ty-four national banks during the ynr
1S87 were matte depo.sitoric * for nv
eminent funds , the amount of which ,
as reported to congress , exceeded sixty
millions , in lieu for which the Unihd
States treasurer held as security fiftv
six millions of government bonds. Form
erly no bank was permitted to hold at.
one time more than $ "iUO,000 of those
deposits but under the new rules of O • -
tober , 18S7 , this limit was extended
The cause of this leniency regardz
deposits was due to the money str i
geuey in tinmarket last autumn.
To relieve this press-ire Secretin v
Faircbild was led to put tht-e
sixty millions into circulation throutrh
the banks , takinir their government
bonus as security. The holding of treas
