The countless multitudes which have gathered about the spread within the great banquet hall will then partake of the elaborate menu. - And such a menue as ye gods would smile upon! There will be clams, fresh, nutritious, the desserts of the sea, served in regular oldfashioned clam bake style steaming hot from the trenches and flavored with the delicious sweetness of the sea weed. Immediately after the menu will follow the grand democratic reunion and love-feast in which the virtues and wisdom of democratic principles will be enunciated from a dozen stands in the middle of the street and about the court house square. It will be a day long to be remembered by the countless thousands from the northwest, who will be present, and the fruits thereof be gathered therein by the common ’ people.”

Rilleaof the Health Department. As there are a few cases of diptheria and diptheric croup in the city at present, with two deaths from the disease this week, we call upon all good citizens to live up to the rules and regulations of the Board of I lealth in regard to diptheria and diptheric or membraneous croup, we publish the rules for the purpose of getting the people acquainted with them and also to preserve them for future reference. Diptheria and diptheric or membraneous croup are both infectious as well as contagious diseases, therefore the. strict observance of the following precautions are of great importance: , 1. When a child or young person has a sore throat, bad odor to its breath, and especially if it has fever, it should immediately be kept separated from all other persons, except necessary attendants, until it lie ascertained whether it has diptheria or diptheric or membnyieousji'roup. 2. Every' person known, to be sick with diptheria. diptheric or membraneous croup should be promptly and etfgctually isolated from the public; no more persons than are actually necessary sin mid have charge of or visit the patjent and they should lie restricted in their intercourse with other persons. Every case of either of these diseaseses should immediately be reported to the Board of Health, as the law requires. 3. The room in which a person sick with diptheria, dipthericor membraneous croup is placed, should previously be cleared of all needless clothing, carpets, drapery and othermaterials likely to harbor the poison of the diseases. This room should constantly receive a liberal supply of fresh air without drafts upon the patiant. Also let the sup shine directly into the room. 4. The clothing, towels, bed linen, etc., on removal from the patient, should at once before removal from the room, be disinfected. 5. All persons recovering from these diseases should.be considered dangerous, and should not be permitted to associate with others, or attend school, church or any public assembly until the throat and any sores which may be on the lips, nose or body’ are healed. Nor until hi the judgement of a careful and intelligent physician he can do so without endangering Others. 6. No public funeral should be held at a house in which there is a case of, or in which a death from one of these diseases has, recently occurred. 7. Avoid in every possible manner the special contagion of these diseases. This is especially important with children, who are always more suceptible to disease than adults. Respectfully, 11. F. Costello. M. 1). Secretary Adams Co. Board of Health.

These persons who report such stories know that they are telling falsehoods. If the stories are repeated by those parties I will brand them as infamoqs liars, and publish their name. I have never voted anything else but the straight Democratic ticket, and do not intend to vote any other ticket in the future. I will vote for any man that my party nominates, no matter what church he belongs to, which is the duty of every true Democrat, f will not leave the Democratic party and vote the Republican ticket/and join the A, P. A. organization, as some of those men who are circulating these reports have done simply because the Democratic|party would not give them an I office. H. M. Rombero.

But think of the sweet surprise The sudden and strange delight; He felt as he met his Saviors smile And walked with him in white.
