It will not do for the Republicans to rely too much upon the justness of their cause and the benefice of the principles of the party and felicitate themselves with the idea that the people are with them and the ticket will surely be elected. Not every man in this blessed country of ours is competent to think and judge as to what is his own best interest; thousands can be and are missed by the sophistry of plausible speaking, olly-tongued demagogues and do not realize that they have been made dupes until it is too late to repair the damage. Battles are sometimes lost by overconfidence in ourselves or by underestimating the strength of our opponent. The proper policy to pursue is to assault the enemy upon the hill tops, in the valleys, upon the march, in serried columns in battle array, in his chosen citadel everywhere until victory perches upon our banner. Now that the president has spoken, John G. Capers, Republican National Committeeman for South Carolina, says that the Afro-American should have his rights. He says; "The organization and operation of political parties upon purely racial classification is, to my mind, wholly inconsistent. SAMUEL R. VAN SANT. Republican Candidate for Governor of Minnesota ent with the spirit of our government, requiring, as our government does, well-defined duties and responsibilities from all of its citizens. In the exercise of citizenship, when the negro asserts a right and demonstrates that it rests upon intelligence and character rather than upon race prejudice or fancied and unearned distinction, his rights should be respected as an American citizen, regardless of his color. The minister of the Gospel is one of the leaders of his people. He should give them sound advice and direct them in the right way. In this campaign it is the duty of every Afro-American preacher who has the true interest of the race at heart to explain to his people the issues as they affect the Afro-American. He should show what the Democratic party has done in the line of depriving the Afro-American people of their civil and political rights and appeal to them to continue to support, with all their strength, the party which gave freedom to the slaves and enlarged opportunities to the freeman. At the conference of the M. E. church held at Washington last week a paper was read by Rev. Scott Wood of Lawrenceville, Va., urging the appointment of two Afro-American bishops to have direct jurisdiction of church members of the race. This is wrong. The Afro-American 'brethren should not draw the color line. It would be all right to have an Afro-American bishop but he should have jurisdiction over all churches of a diocese, without regard to the color of the communicants. "The Republican party does not have to assert its devotion to the Declaration of Independence. That immortal instrument of the fathers remained unexecuted until the people under the lead of the Republican party in the awful clash of battle turned its promises into fulfillment. It wrote into the Constitution the amendments guaranteeing political equality to American citizenship and it has never broken them nor counseled others in breaking them."—William McKinley. "The Democratic Congressional Committee is standing squarely on the Kansas City platform. That is the only Democracy we know anything about, and it will be the only Democracy there is until another National convention shall be held."—From an authorized statement of Secretary Edwards of the National Democratic Congressional Committee—Washington Star, July 21st, 1902. It seems that some of the Southern Democratic politicians are endowing to make capital of the obsolete section of Oregon's constitution prohibiting the Afro-American from voting. No attempt has ever been made to enforce it. Every Afro-American in Oregon has as many privileges as any white man, and has always had. When President Roosevelt was asked where he stood in reference to the "illy white" movement for the disfranchisement of Afro-American voters in the South, he replied: "I stand with Lincoln, Grant and Sumner." The Afro-American people can trust a president who stands with that immortal trio of true friends of the race. The spectacle of Democrats weeping Chronic calls a "parcel of saddle-colored niggers" in the Philippines while the party disfranchises hundreds of thousands of Afro-American citizens here at home, a spectacle of hypocrisy which all history may be searched in vain to equal. A prominent Democrat, in a recent issue, declared that his party would win in South Carolina. Of course the Democrats will win. That matter is settled in all of the Southern states when the Democratic committee meets about a month before the election and decides what the Democratic majority will be. "The Afro-American man can vote for whom he pleases. He can follow the dictates of his own conscience. That is why he has the franchise, to exercise it, and use it for his best advantage and the advantage of the country, which he has served so honorably with his sword."—President Roosevelt. --- The record of the Republican party is very clear on this matter of disfranchisement. The Republican party has always denounced disfranchisement in every National platform. The party cannot be held responsible for the action of the "illy whites" of the South. The old saying about consistency being a jewel is a proverb which does not appeal to the Democrats. They continue to yell about their love for liberty in the Philippines, but refuse to grant civil and political rights to the Afro-Americans of the South. The destiny of every Afro-American in the North is identified with that of his Southern brother. If the Democrats of the South succeed in wresting the franchise from the people of the race in the South, the same thing may be tried in the North. The Democrats of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation. No Republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law. "Trust in God—but keep your powder dry." was the shrewd advice of a great commander. Good as the Divine Creator is, he leaves us to fight out our own battles. The Republican party will win if we get out the voters. "A man who will not do the duty and monotonous work of the regiment," continued the president, "is (to use a Southern friend's phrase) plumb liable to go wrong when a fight comes."—President Roosevelt. The Southern Democrats seem determined to keep the Afro-American down. In New Orleans the school board decided that no school for the race is to give instruction in any grade higher than the fifth. "The line of demarcation we draw must always be on conduct, not on wealth. Our objection to any given corporation must not be that it is big, but that it behaves badly"—President Roosevelt The Democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time be beuppermost or seem to promise REPUBLICAN TICKET. Governor, SAMUEL R. VAN SANT. Lieutenant Governor RAY W. JONES.

P. WRIGHT. HON. F. C. STEVENS. Republican Candidate for Congress, Fourth District. Congressman Frederick C. Stevens, who has so ably represented the Fourth Minnesota District in the House of Representatives, will undoubtedly be re-elected on the fourth day of November with a triumphant majority. It is a fact, well known not only within the boundaries of his own district, but also in the state of Minnesota in general. Stevens' labors on behalf of his constituents have been crowned with the most signal success. He has proved himself to be possessed of sound judgment, a conscientious regard for the fulfillment of his duties and a thorough understanding of the needs of his district. Stevens' business is expedited in Congress and in the great departments. Among the notable achievements of Mr. Stevens in this capacity as representative of the people of the Fourth Minnesota District is the establishment of the postoffice headquarters for the county, and the county's Northwest, at St. Paul. The designation of St. Paul as the proper place for the location and maintenance of such headquarters, was only effected after continuous efforts which many important officials of the county did not meet with success, owing to the difficulties that had to be overcome. In this connection Mr. Stevens has recently secured an addition to the facilities already offered the public in the office, depriving a prompt and effective response to the matter. There will shortly be established in the down-town business district of St. Paul a new postoffice branch headquarters to be known as the Commercial Station. This station will enable the office to serve numerous houses to be delivered much more rapidly than has heretofore been the maintenance of the Commercial Station will necessitate an expenditure of $7,500 per annum, excluding the clerks and twenty-five mail carriers. When the to adoption will the rural free delivery system was first discussed considerable time and attention to the thorough study of the merits of this system should be one of the first in the United States to receive the full benefits of the same. He has met with extraordinary success in carrying out this plan and the result is that the counties of Ramsey, Burlington, and Compton compose his district, are supplied with rural free delivery routes to such an extent that nearly every farmer and country resident in the district, receives the mail daily. Washington county is the first county in the state to be compaired with routes of this character. As a prominent member of the committee on military affairs of the House of Representatives, Mr. Stevens has exerted every energy to secure the enlargement and improvement of Fort Stevens to its military position and increase of its military strength in an appropriation of $0,000,000 has been secured to this end and part of said sum is now being expended for the purposes mentioned. The plan for enlarging the garrison at Fort Snelling contemplates a post of a full regiment of infantry, two batteries of artillery and a complete squadron of cavalry, all under the command of Colonel Jacob Kline. The county of Washington owes a deposition of gratitude to Congressman Stevens for his success in washing an appropriation for the purchase of a site and prospective erection of a federal building at Stillwater. The sum of $0,000,000 has been appropriated for that purpose. Who was the first county officer to give an Afro-American an appointment to the office? An. Ann. Bell, then registered under New Republic candidate for county treasurer. Don't fall to vote for him. ```markdown ``` The phenomenal run made by Judge Grier M. Orn at the recent primaries evidence that he will land on the district bench. His eight years' service, the only court made him so many friends that almost everybody knows him. That he will be one of the successful candidates at the election goes without saying. The following Republican candidates are as good as elected, having no opposition: Senators A. R. McCormick and Ambrose Tighe. County Representative James Powers. In the First and Second wards J. E. Gregory and Walter T. Lemon are the nonimmies for the places in the legislature, and the Democrat Bernat Olsen, one of the Republicans is sure to be elected and probably both. The election of M. W. Fitzgerald as registrar of deeds seems to be a foregone conclusion. No man better deserves the office, and no man ever ran for it with so many friends in both parties. Mr. Fitzgerald stands for decency and honor in politics, and his great executive and business ability have more than once cemented his position and led it to victory when internal affairs were handled. He is a member of many fraternal societies and a believer in fraternal principles. His ability to fill the office is beyond the necessity of assertion. NEGROES SPEAK IRISH The Negro population of the island of Monterrat in the West Indies, which numbers about 10,000, to less than 100 whites, speaks "Irish in its purity" with as round and rich a brouge as any other man. He is that many years ago a British cruiser captured an African slave ship in the Spanish main, and the slaves were landed on this island in charge of the master-at-arms, who happened to be his nautical man. He taught the blacks his navigation. He taught them to this day their descendants resist with stubborn pertinacly any English lingual invasion. BURRIS ELECTED GRAND MASTER ROCK ISLAND, ILL., Oct. 23 — Henry E. Burry, who has just been reelected grand master of the Masons of the Illinois jurisdiction, has already occupied that position for several terms and is one of the most prominent Masons in the state. He is a native of Chicago has lived in Rock Island since 1870, and for some years has been in the government employ as a letter carrier. If poverty bring into question the good morals of the race, then let the race suffer in silence that enobling burden until providence provides a better friend. What fate has wrought, no man can change. "THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS." Dixon's Damnable Book Scored by Epworth Herald. The Epworth Herald has this to say of Tom Dixon's alleged literary production: "The large sale of Thomas Dixon's book surprises us. Its literary merit is not extraordinary. The sentimental hit is drawn out indeed, judged by the best student in the class, hardly be called 'a story at all.' The narrative was written to serve the author's one purpose throughout. That purpose was to misrepresent and villainize the hatred of the Negro race which Mr. Dixon manifests in every chapter is intense. The language employed is often brutal. In all our conversations, we are never heard anything which approaches it. We are not surprised that many of such persons have repudiated the book as a gross misrepresentation of the spirit of their people. There have been, and are, certain Negroes quite as bad as this author describes. No doubt of that. But a wholesale denunciation of a people, or generations in servitude and ignorance, is not of certain deprived representatives of that race, is unfair and contemptible. Mr. Dixon reflected astonishingly upon the intelligence of his readers both in South and the North when he presumed to paint his overcolored picture. "We read the book on a railroad train the other day. At night when we retired to our Pullman berth, we left the volume upon the seat across the aisle. In the morning we found the porter reading it with the deepest interest. He had been poring over it during the whole night. A clear-eyed, educated, gentlemanly fellow was this porter. "As he looked up from the book, his eyes widened. 'Can a leopard change his spots?' he asked in a hoarse voice. And then he answered his question. "Yes, yes, he can. I have changed mine. I was ignorant, without ambition, and careless of both mind and soul. But I saw my danger and my need to change. I am a man, even if my color is black. I graduated from college. I have built a home. I have saved my money. I have a wife and little children. I love God and keep his commandments. I drive the leopard can change his spots." "As he uttered these sentences his manner was most dramatic and intense. His eyes famed, and his lips trembled with passion. I did not wonder. Had he not been reading an infamous libel upon his race? The leopard's spots are buying "The Leopard's Spots." We suppose the kind who demand the latest sensation in literature, no matter what it is." is Ordered.

Q. Adams, W. Edgar Alexander, Sunday, Oct. 19, Mrs. Anderson entertained at Mrs. Edgar Alexander, Miss Evelyn and Maurice Hickman. At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. Magician Kellar, whose forthcoming engagement at the Grand Opera House next week, is announced, never claims some of his interesting things, but when you see some of his illuminated rooms you will be ready to believe almost anything you hear about him. In one of them he has apparently succeeded in suspending the inviolable law of gravitation, and causes whatever he touches to remain stationary in the air, wherever he wills it. He places a plank in the air horizontally, and it stays there. Then he hypnotizes a young lady and places her in a reclining position upon a table, where she is startling, for the audience has previously been thoroughly convinced that he has had to resort to no such amateur subterfuges as wires, mirrors or the to, to attain the result. In oriental this season, present a dozen marvelous new illusions each of which is apparently, more inexplicable than its predecessor. Yet he tells you plainly that everything he does is the result of trickery, pure and simple. Get on to see what he does, and be shrewd than most people. His entire entertainment of Hindoo illusions and new tricks in small magic will be given here. E. W. BAZILLE. Republican Candidate for Judge of the Probate Court. Judge Bazille is one of the wheel horses of the, the Republican party as well as one of the most popular of the county officials. It is seldom that an official is so admirably fitted for the responsibility of his office that he is enabled to give unimaginable satisfaction. Judge Bazille has been invited by the麻县 county probate court to the position of dignity commensurate with its importance; has purified the court of many objectionable practices and by the exercise of keen legal mind and the application of a practical knowledge of the law. He has completed tasks imposed upon the probate court to the entire satisfaction of public and bar. Without exception members of the legal profession speak in most complimentary terms of Judge Bazille and the dignified yet unestonations way in which he discharged his duties. He has his most trying office. His re-election by a handsome majority is generally conceded. GEORGE ADAMS NASH. Republican Candidate for County Commissioner Ramsey County. Mr. Nash is one of the best known of the old-time Republicans of this city, in which he has lived for so many years. He has always been an important factor in the councils of the Republican government, man having been engaged in insurance for many years, and is the state agent of the Union Mutual Life Insurance company, of Maine, and has an office in the Germania Bank building. He will make a good Seventh ward. He will make a good Seventh ward. and should receive the support of all. ROBERT H. SENG. Republican Candidate for County Commissioner, Ramsey County. Mr. Seng, who served in numerous official positions and especially as assessor of Ramsey county, is too well ROBERT SENG known to need special mention.

HARVEY E. HALL. Republican, Candidate for County Attorney. Harvey E. Hall, Republican candidate for county attorney, is one of the best equipped men for that responsible position at the Ramsey county bar. He has been a lawyer for years during city attorney Markham's first term, and performed the duties of that office to the entire satisfaction of the public. He has had a large experience both in civil and criminal practice, and is widely and favorably known throughout Ramsey county. He is American in every sense; is forty-five years old; is sided in St. Paul for the past twenty years; is a loyal Republican, who has always worked for the best interests of his party and its chosen candidates; he is esteemed and respected by all classes of citizens alike; and has never been before the people for their services. He would make an ideal county attorney and we earnestly recommend him to the voters of Ramsey county. Republican Candidate for County Auditor. Mr. Krahmer's candidacy for this important office is being received with general satisfaction. Born, reared and educated in Minnesota, he has been a professor of theology and of his infancy. He is a substantial tax-payer, engaged in the real estate business, and this, together with his four years' experience as register of the city, has given him the real estate conditions and the administration of public affairs to an extent which has peculiarly fitted him for the office. The registry office is recalled as a model of efficiency and of business methods applied to public affairs. The side popularity of Mr. Krahmer enriches the chances promises well for his success at the polls. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Established 1882. The Plymouth Man's Clothing.

GATES A. JOHNSON. Republican Candidate for County Surveyor, Ramsey Co. To reselect a competent county officer is a step toward that ideal political condition of the merit system; for this reason and many others, Gates A. Johnson, who for years made such an efficient county surveyor, ought to be again elected to fill that responsible position, for which his years of service so admirably quality him. Then, too Mr. Johnson is one of the staustech Republicans in the party who has stood high property and admirability always. See to it that you vote for Gates A. Johnson for county surveyor.

KRAHMER; Republican Candidate for Auditor The election of Edward G. Krahmer to the important office of county auditor is a matter of the most vital interest to the voters of Ramsey county. A proper discharge of the duties of that office, intelligence, integrity, and industry, in none of which qualities would Mr. Krahmer be found wanting. His public services as register of deeds and assemblyman were characterized by a strong work and by an unfagging fidelity to the public interests. Important as are these traits to a successful administration of the county auditor's office, it is of equal consequence that no question of acquaintance with real estate values and business conditions in this community, such as Mr. Krahmer has acquired during his long and successful career in public and private offices, will be of any significance and a territorial pioneer of this city. Temperament, training and experience conspire to make him an unusually strong candidate for the office, and his uniform courtesy and obliquity as well as his well-deserved popularity among all classes. In the office of county auditor Mr. Krahmer would be the right man in the right place. M. W. Fitzgerald, for Register of Deeds is a sure winner. "Fix" is all right. Does anybody doubt that Judge Grier M. Orr will be elected to the district bench? We haven't seen the doubler.

Mills, present justice of the peace. REILSE n assuredly will be, there is a certainty in the future, which will be registered in the future as in the past. THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN. As is known the Republicans opened this campaign on a very high plane and have conducted it since along the lines of honorable, clean politics. The litter sent out and the campaign book issued by state officials The Democrats were challenged to meet these issues and discuss the management of state affairs by the Republicans and especially Governor Van Stets administration. It was felt that the state legislature required Governor Van Sant wanted to come before the people for endorsement strictly on his record. The Republicans, both speakers and press, have been criticized for the number of candidates, and have even avoided the use of cartoons. How has it been with our opponents? The Democrats have from the first dodged all the legitimate issues of the campaign and refused to discuss them. Indeed, Mr. Rosinger's committee not only refused to meet these, the only proper issues in a state campaign, but they at once began their campaign by the narrowest appeals to the Swedish Americans and Germans, of the them personally and by force to arouse prejudice and personal bitterness among the voters of the state. Evidences of a lavish use of money were apparent. Newspapers were paid liberally for using articles written for them. Large amounts were offered for the support of papers, especially those published in the Swedish language.

He is well and favorably known, having served in various county commissioner twenty years ago. He was a member of the state state from 1894 to 1898, where he did good service for the city and county. During Mayor Kiefer's administration he was appointed a member of the Board of Trustees, and subsequently made president. He is a heavy tax-payer and, in looking out for his own interests, he could not overlook the interests of his constituents. Mr. Pottgier's record is that of an active and ever striving to benefit the whole people, and is just the sort of man for the position. M. J. BELL. Republican Candidate for County Treasurer. Mr. Bell is one of our best known men, he having been in public life for many years. He was Register of Deeds some years ago and was the first of the county officers to appoint an Afro-American in his office.

Space was paid for in other papers to run the articles prepared by the Democratic committee and Democratic speeches. From $100.00 to $300.00 was paid for such space at various times to the state, and the length of the speech was as high as one hundred thousand copies of Swedish newsreapers have flooded the state. Extracts from these papers and from Mr. Rosing's speech and biography, and the bulletins of their committee have been sent through the state to the state's posts, sent direct to the voters through the mails. Paid agents have been sent as peddlers, spectacle men, book agents and even tramps to go through the state from house to house and talk for the Democratic ticket. Paid men have been sent to the state's classes. A force of fifteen to twenty stenographers and typewriters have been constantly at work for weeks writing and mailing personal letters to voters. Money has been paid to indictors and prosecutors, and the state to work against Governor Van Stant and they are trying to earn their money.

Sec. 5. This act shall be submitted to the state of this county for approval or rejection in the next general election for the year 1902. This act provides refers to the method of printing the ballot and submitting the act for ratification. This act provides for an increase of the amount of taxes collected by the state, from three per cent upon the gross railroads situated within the State, from three per cent upon the gross railroads situated within the State, of such lines of railway within the State, to a sum of money equal to the gross earnings derived upon the gross earnings of such lines of railway therein. Under the terms of the Constitution of the State, and the Act of the Legislature must be submitted to legal voters of the State, and will be operative if adopted by a majority of the voters, appointing at the next general election. II. By an Act of the Legislature of the State of Minnesota, appended 28, 100, and known as House File No. 100, it is proposed to amend Article (8), Section Six (6) of the Constitution. This Section as now existing reads as follows: Section 6. The permanent school and university fund of this State may be in any county, school district, city, town village of this state, but no such investment may be in any university fund of this State; nor shall loan or investment be made at the university fund of this State; nor shall make the entire bond indebted part would make the entire bond indebted assessed valuation of the county, school district, property of the county, school district, nor shall such loans or indebtedness be met at a lower rate of interest than the period than five (5) years nor for a period than five (5) years nor for a period than twenty (20) years, and no change in the amount of the county, city or county lines shall relieve village, city or county lines shall relieve school district, county, village or town state at the time of issuing of such bonds the liability for taxation to pay such bonds. It is proposed by said act to amend the same so as to read as follows: Section 6. The permanent school and university fund of this State may be invested in the bonds of any county, school district, city, town, village of this state, but no such investment shall be made until approved by the board commissioners designated by law to regulate the investment of the permanent school fund and the permanent university fund of this state; nor shall such loan or investment be made when the bonds to be issued or purchased would make the entire bonded indebtedness exceed fifteen (5) per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, school district city, town or village issuing such bonds; nor shall such loans or indebtedness be made at a lower rate of interest than three (3) per cent per annum, nor for a shorter period than five (5) years, nor for a longer period than twenty (20) years or more to change of the town, school district, city, village of the county lines, shall relieve the real property in such town, school district, county, village or city in this state at the time of the issuing of such bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such bonds.

The substantial change proposed by said amendment in to authorise the imposition of a fee on indebtedness, including the loan in question, does not exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed valuation of municipalities; whereas, under the existing constitution loans are per cent indebtedness, does not exceed seven (7) per cent of the assessed valuation. III. By An Act of the Legislature of the State of Minnesota Approved April 13, 1910, the Act of the Legislature is proposed to Amend Section Sixteen (16) of Article Nine (9) of the Constitution. The Section as now existing reads as follows: Section 18. For the purpose of lending to public highways and bridges there is hereby created a fund to be known as the fund of public highways and bridges shall include all money accruing from the income derived from investments in such roads and bridges that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all funds accruing to such roads and bridges or improving roads and bridges of this state and to any road and bridge fund, however provided, legislature is authorized to add to such funds an annual tax levy upon the property of this state of not to exceed in any year the taxable property within the state, legislature is also authorized to provide for the error of the state of a board to be known of the state of a commission, consisting of three (3) municipal perform such duties as shall be prepared for possession other than personal expenses.

The same so as to read as follows: Section 18. For the purpose of lending funds or that may hereafter accrue funds of public highways and bridges therein "State Road and Bridge Fund." Sald fund shall include all money accruing investments in the internal improvement land fund or that may hereafter accrue funds according to any state road and bridge fund. The legislature is authorized to add to the fund or the purpose of constructing or improving a state, and providing in its discretion for this state of not to occupy the property of this state of not to occupy a mill on all the property within the state. The existing Constitution authorizes legislation providing for a levy on the purpose of building roads and bridges, and provides for its use under the direction of a State Highways Department, which shall contribute at least double the amount of the State money exchanged for such purpose, subject also to other limitations. By an act of the legislature shares a 1-1/4 of one milt is authorised to be levied for this purpose: the Highway Commission is nobilised, and the proposed amendment is adopted, with the distribution of such funds in the hands of the Leg's statute, without limitation or restriction.

The sections as now existing read as lowes. "Section 1. All taxes to be raised in this state shall be as nearly equal as may be, and all property on which taxes are free, to be levied on all of the property and are equalized." the state; provided, that the legislature may, by general law or special act, authorize municipal corporations to levy assessments for local improvements upon the property fronting upon such improvements, or for the property to be benefited by such improved tax.

The Attorney General limits the paid tax for supplying water to the citizens of such property, and to empower such city to collect any such tax assessments, or fines or penalties for failure to pay the same, or any financial or penalty for any violation of any rules of which city or municipality in regard to the use of water, or for any water rate due for the same. And provided further, that there may be any law levied and collected a tax upon all inheritance, devices, bequests, legends, or other things of the kind of a tax, in connection with a fixed and specified sum of any and all natural persons and corporations. Such tax above such exempted items may be the form of, or may be graduated or progressive, by shall not exceed a maximum tax of five per cent. Sec. 2. The legislature shall provide for an annual tax sufficient to defray the estimated benefits of the tax, and in case of each year; and whenever it shall happen that such ordinary expenses of the state for any year shall exceed the income of the state for such year, the legislature shall provide for a tax for the ensuing year sufficient with other sources of income, to pay the deficiency of the preceding year, together with the estimated expenses of such ensuing year.

Possibly one of the greatest, most novel and beneficial inventions of recent date, is Shepherd's Photo-Signet Anti-septic Ring. (Patent applied for.) The ring is a large gold seal ring. On the face of the seal may be a sea monogram or any device. This is an important feature on opening, discloses a miniature of any one desired. Under the picture is placed an anti-septic pad, fully charged, according to the standard for the hospitals of Europe and America. This pad might sought some convenient form to sterilize money while passing through the hands of the public, and this patent of Shepherd's accomplishes that feat. The ring is placed from contagion in the handling of money, but from all manner of contagious diseases, and is a sure preventative of rheumatism.
