County Convention August 13. This is the time when "Dollar Wheat" would be mighty acceptable to the farmers. Most of them are not interested in the price next spring when most of it will be in the speculator's hands, but they are interested in the price they have to haul it for. If any man has the combination on "Dollar wheat" he ought to turn it on. (First published in the Banner July 28, 1898.) LEGAL NOTICE.

Nature evidently failed to supply that part of the world whence Tony Janinski came with lightning bugs, for the other night as Tony was sitting in the gloaming, and also in the parlor of his little home on the second floor of the building at 376 Wilson street, Buffalo, one of the tiny insects flew Into the open window and flashed the light from its little lantern. Tony gasped with fright when he saw the sudden gleam and, thinking it was a spark of fire, he dashed for the window, stuck his head far out and yelled "Fire!" at the top of his voice. Then he made a mad run for his bedroom, and an instant later the secondstory window was raining bedding, furniture and dishes. Tony worked manfully in the attempt to throw everything he possessed out of doors, and as he worked he qeut up the mad call for the fire department. Some of the startled passersby saw the goods and chattels descending and heard Tony loudly proclaiming the belief that his premises were aflame, and a call was sent in from the box at the neighboring corner.

and engine No. 1 started on a fast run for the house. While turning the corner of William and Krettner streets the engine startled a young man named John Karl, who lives at 905 Clinton street, He was on a bicycle and was perfectly safe, but he thought he was in the path of the approaching engine, and he dashed aside and ran over a small girl who was on the pavement. The collision threw Karl to the pavement, and the hook and ladder truck which accompanied the engine bore down on him. It passed orer his wheel and smashed it to bits and one of the horse's hoofs struck young Karl on the left foot, bruising it badly.

All this was caused by the poor innocent little lightning bug which flew carelessly away just as department arrived in front of the house. Karl went to the Fitch hospital, and the little girl went home. Janinski went out in the street collecting furniture. 39 Cents Takes the choice of any straw hat in our stock which sold at 50 and 75c. 65 Cents.
