know what it moans to bring a large crowd of their families and foreign stock buyers tc town on a certain dky in each month bent wholly on business. That's days will do. They are cpriducled Bound business- for the farmer and business for tho merchant. The farmer brings in horses and cattle and anything- else that he desires to sell or have sold at auction or private sale the foreign buyers from the large cities of the States nre present in large numbers to purchase the llvci stock offered for pale In your town at the monthly market, and when the atock is sold auction good prices aro obtained for the farmers from competitive bidders. As soon as the farmer knows that his homo town, is enterprising enough to establish monthly market days at which lie can get good cash prices for his stock, he is going into live stock business on a larger scale, and diversified farming is encouraged, And with diversified farming and market days there are twelve cash seasons in the'year instead of one, where grain and hay and fruit growing main pursuits.

It puts the imer.chahls strictly on a cash basis and. largely increases their sales. Wouldn't that, be wortn a deal to you, 'Mr. Merchant? This is owing to the fact, that this the richest fanning tec- lion in United States can be made live stock market in the.Sout.hwest. 'At these stated monthly periods the merchants advertises in.his general way rcdiited prices on all or special lines of goods.

A few genuine bargains offered on these occasions add drawing power and attract the purchasing public to tho town. The farmers soon iearn that bargains are-awaiting them in stores as well as the chance to sell their products at good prices, and they carry thousands of worth of gocds on these T.osstbly, when they wouldn't ordinarily come to town at all. Gillen pays all expenses necessary In putting the sale days into operation. He does the newspaper advertising, consisting ot vrrite-ups nnd display, furnishes posters; window cards, circular letters and postal cards! He furnishes the services of first-class auctioneers, lists the livestock to be sold by the farmers ani notifies from" to 2.000 'buyers throughout'the United States of the approachihg sale. In advertising the first promoter selects a regular monthly market period for the town thereafter and advertises it at the same time, so there will be no expenses to the merchant nnd business man thereafter.

These regular h'onthly'rnarVet sale period dates are also made known to the foreign buyers of the United States and these buyers will be present, each month to pick up horses mules, cr nattl-j that may he offered for sale on from 1.0 jto to.

'Sales on farms, will be a thin? ot the past. Everything brought in tc.r. the first sale will be sold without charge to the: owner. The business men ot the town will. try the innovation; and in view of the fact that there will be no expense to them for future sale days and" the great benefit to be derived from the permanent establishment of the same in this town, the promoter hones they will be "liberal.

Jlri Gillcn it thoroughly understood that when he leaves town his work in keeping up these sale dsys never ends. keeps on boosting for the town among the stock buyers, and stock raisers everywhere and through the newspapers, so that "Vir.hu is left over from the subscription, after ho pays all expenses, however largo the balance may be, never is sutlicient to pay for th-? permanent good those sales bring to the town. Mr. Gillon has a list of horse, mule and cattle buyers of the United States. This advertisement is sent to twenty-six states.

Many people who saw shows say that the cast of Thursday night's company excelled that of tho first company. The men'players were stronger, and the cast seemed belter balanced. Tho lack of facilities of the Whltley house prevented the company from using its best scenery, but this was a minor drawback to the perfection of the play. The strong political vein sustained the first Interest, and the tenseness was relieved throughout with of real humor. Oddly enough, the plot moved about a street oar -franchise, and at the same hour citizens of Hinporla were debating their street car franchise, with real and not mock earnestness at the "court.

John Moore as "Richard wag the 'star of the cast. As a city alderman, he, was as crooked as they make -them, and, played his part so thoroughly the audience was sorry to see him defeated in his attempt to get his bill through the council. "Iforrigan's" enemy, Phelan," was represented by John Morris, whose Irish brogue made a hit.

His final triumph over "Horrigan" was greeted with a storm of applause. "Franklin George." the young secretary, carried a minor part throughout the play, but in the last act distinguished himself with a tcrri- accusation, denouncing the villain's crimes. During Mr. George's talk, tho house maintained absolute quiet. The mayor and womea were weak Jn comparison with the others.

Tho "Manof the Hour" demonstrates that a really good show can ''come back." George B. Davis has written to Emuoria from Osagc City, asking for'a copy of Kmporia's ordinance relating to sanitary plumbing and sewerage. Osago City is about to finish its new water and sewerage system, and desires to compare its ordinance with those of other towns. The ordinance occupies several pages in the city'H hook, but it was copied, at the city clerk's office today and sent out. rInney hv in the' Unit, by.to- niKht" eVfery "will b'o taken of'" from except in''; isolated 'va'niiMtipeH'lal cases- i-t'6 for 'the commission tO' maXe inspection pf plant and re-; port.
