Shot by n Trap.Gun.

On Thanksgiving Day brass foundry
in Newark, n. j., was robbed of guam.
tity of castings, and as detective
against any future burglars a musket
loaded with heavy shot was placed so as
to bear upon drawer in which con-
siderable quantity of finished work was
kept. To this drawer the trigger of the
gun was attached by cord. The gun
was tightly fixed against the wall at one
end of the room, and in corner where
it would not have been likely to have
been noticed. On Sunday the dead
body of noted burglar named Healy
was found in the b ilding, and near by
was quantity of material which he
was probably in the act OF removing
when he met his death. He had been
once in the State Prison, and had been

A Good Old Musical Joke.

P. T. Barnum's band in its palmy
days was celebrated for doing the worst
playing ever heard. Some one asked
Barnum why he did not get better. He
said the idea was to have them play so
badly that everybody would pay a
quarter to get inside where they could
not hear the music (?) 1t was also pro-
fitable, as the following anecdote goes
to show. One morning the papers con-
tanned an advertisement:
WANTED-A trombone player for
Barnum's Balcony Band. Apply be-
tween 10 and at the Office of the Mu-
seum."
So about II o'clock the door opened,
and u trombone entered and a man be-
hind it. a" You want a trombone
player?" said the new conner (the man,
not the instrument). eyes" said Mr..
Barnum. "What is the place worth ?''
asked the applicant. "Oh, about
twenty five dollars week, ! suppose
said Barnum. Very well, | should
like it," All right" said Barnum. So
all the week through the trombone was
at its post. Then came Saturday, and
Mr.. Green, the trombone player, pre-
sented himself for his salary. Mr.. Bar
mum handed him a paper on which was
written:
Mr.. P. Green,
"To P. T. Barnum,
"To playing trombone on his balcony
one week, % dolls. Reed pay't.
Aug. II, 1851"
Mr.. Green read the bill and smiled,
and then looked at Mr.. Barnum.
Well" said Mr.. Barnum, otis all
right, isn't it p Why" said Green,
"the price is right, but you have made
such funny mistake. You make me
the debtor, instead of you I" see no
mistake in that" said Barnum, "you are
the one that has made a mistake. You
see, the case is this There good

Valuable Invention.

When the last German Arctic Expe-
dition started for the North Pole, it car
ried newly invented stove, by Prof.
Meidinger, which has proved an inval-
liable invention. 1t is of iron, having a
double wall, with a space about two
inches wide between the outer and inner
walls, to which the air has free access
above and below. The cold air being
always at the bottom, and the warm as.
cending, it follows that all the air in
the room is being constantly forced
through the space between the outer
and inner covering of the stove, or
what is the same, is being constantly
heated. The coal is put in at the top,
and fills the whole inside of the stove,
which is about six feet high, more or
less. 1t is then lighted at the top and
kept burning by the draught created by
valves inserted both into the side walls
and at the bottom of the stove. The
valves opened, the greater the heat, SO
that the temperature can be easily regu.
lated. The expense is third less than
that of an ordinary German stove, and
the new invention, in an elegant shape
is rapidly fnding its way into dwelling
houses.

Singular Railroad Accident.

On Wednesday, when coal train was
within three-fourths of mile of Lacka
wanna, on the Honesdale branch
of the Erie railway, one of the
rocks on the side of the road,
weighing many hundred tons, tumbled
down and lodged on the railroad track,
few feet ahead of the approaching
train, which was running pretty fast.
The engineer, d. B. Woods, and the
fireman, John Schultz, were thrown
from the engine, the latter being
thrown on his head and instantly killed,
while the engineer was only slightly in.
iured. The locomotive was completely
wrecked. The center of the train was
thrown high into the air, forming, for
an instant, a huge pyramid then fifteen
cars went crashing down the embank.
ment forty feet to the river.

Poisoning Exploits of Madame Ursinus.

Madame Ursini was widow wo-
man of rank, fortune and beauty,
moving in the first circles of Berlin.
Her manners were peculiarly fascinat-

and her charity caused her to be uni.
versally beloved by the poor. Her hus-
band, Privy Counsellor, had died in
1900, and the usual period of mourning
having expired, the lady had opened
her doors again to her friends, and was
in the habit of seeing a good deal OF
company. On the 9th of March, 1903,

by natural gas, which flows from we'll

eight fires, and light for all the house

or diminished at pleasure by touching a
valve. 1t is pleasant fire, making a
bright light and an intense heat. Moth.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one should
have tT@thtuUy answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exam
inatiou Of Routes will in many cases save
much trouble, time and money.
The SC, B. & @. R. R.," running from
Chicago through Galesburg to Burlington,
has achieved splendid reputation in the
last two years as .he leading Passenger
Route to the west. At Burlington it connects
with the great Burlington Route which runs
direct through Southern Iowa to Nebraska
and Kansas. with close connections to Cali
fornia and the Territories; and passengers
starting from Kenosha County, on their way
westward, cannot do better than to take the

"How to 60 West" which contains much
valuable information large correct map of

ers. AS to fitness for the office of Assem-
blyman there can be no comparison be-
tween The two candidates. Mr.. Robinson
has held the office one term and with that
he and his friends should have been sat-

and better habits should be elected to the
office, and the people will not be disap-
,,ointed in the abilities and habits Of Dr.
Farr as their representative in the Legis-
lature.

opposing candidates for Sheriff Tetard's

ability would enable him to discharge

LETTER FROM BRISTOL.
THE OUT LOOK

EDITOR TELEGRAPH:
! From careful canvass of the Towr [
feel confident the Republican ticket of
the county will be elected. The Confed-
crate Republicans are sick, they are par
ing of with any one they can make bar
gain with to escape going to !he polls.
With the odium OF their party on their
garments, and their disgraceFul treach-
cry to the party they have fought with so
long; for they cannot meet their Old com.
rades in arms at the ballot box,and deposit
a vote to set aside those principles of
truth and moral right that have been the
life long labors of the Republican party.
The democrats are obstinate, the name of
Greeley stinks in their nostrils. Many of
them will vote the Grant ticket, but many
more will not attend the election. Changes
among them are of daily occurrence, they
hardly know where they stand, or what
they do, they are completely demoraiized,
not all the lying, withdrawing and figur-
ing IF the filthy penny journals Of their
party, can quiet their anxious minds, or
give them one ray of hope since the Oc-
tober elections. Many of them are men of
too good sense and intelligence not to
see the manner in which this campaign is
being conducted by their partG leaders,
and by the writers of their political pa
pers. They have looked and read in vain
from first to last, for one calm, rational,
truthful argument IN favor of, and in de-
Tense of those men and principles they
are urged to vote for. Lying, misrepre-
sentation, deception, foul epithets and
base SANDER of the living and the dead,
has been the pabulum with which their
minds have been fed. 1t is such weak
diet that democraticEd;tor grows fidgety
ADD nervous on it, and when it is doled
out In seething, reeking, tuning pals full
to the intelligent working man, the smell
of it creates nausea, and bis stomach turns
against it liz disgust The Editor of the
Union has done his masters dirty work
we'll and faithfully. But his slckly spleen,

tacks and slandering personal friends.
rcoils on his own head. In his wisdom
he has Over-reached himself. His articles
have the true ring Of the old copperhead
democracy, but he has forgotten that in
this campaign there are no democrats, his
party are composed of children, babies,
.. c. those who are ape states to the Repub,
lican party, and their stomachs are weak,
their digestive organs not strong, and to
go from the wholesome food of the old
party, to the miserable freth and fume
and bile of his editorials, are more than
they can stand. He IS making converts
against himself every day; he is digging
for himself a pit that ere long will bury
him where many like him had gone be
fore him, and this he knows, for already
he sees the ghost that is to hurl him down.
