voter escaped from his captors and went to

into the carriage, Crawford drew from his
pocket bottle and offered him drink of
whlSkey, which he declined. Crawford then
asked him how much mony he wanted to in
duce him to vote the Republican ticket. He
repliyd ten dollars. Crawford told him il
was more than he could pay, and offered
him two dollars and fifty cents, and on his
refusal, offered him five dollars, which he
accepted.
AT Lewiston aminor was arrested for il
legal voting, and his excuse was that Mayor
Litchfeld paid him ten dollars for voting
the Republican ticket. Stories of BULLDOG
ing are also rife. AT Biddeford twenty-five
factory operatives were given the alterna-
tive of voting for Reed or losing their
places and two manufacturing companies
declined to allow any of their people to
vote, taking it for granted that because
they were Irish they were Democrats.
Similar complaints come from South Ber-

New YORK, Sept. 16.--A special to the
World from Bangor says: Among dis
patches received by Mr.. Paisted to-day
was the following:
New YORK, Sept. 16.--Accept my con-
gratulations on the glorious result of your
campaign. 1t will inspire our friends with
confidence and strengthen them in preli-
minary battles which remain to be fought
elsewhere and which need all of our forces.

BRIBERY AND BuLLDOZING -,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-M. p. Handy,
managing editor of the Philadelphia Times,
telegraphs his paper from Portland, Maine,
that the Fusionists have a large number of
alfidavits showing bribery by the Republi-
cans. There will be contests in the First
(Rced's) and Third Lindsey's) districts, and
the Fusionists say they already have
enough evidence to convince congress that
both these men were elected by bribery.
Mr.. Handy says that Reeds best friends
would advise him to give up his claim to
the seat rather than have the means that
were used to pull him through exposed to
the country.
The following are samples of Republican
work in Maine, as narrated by Mr.. Handy:
One of the cases of bribery comes from
Brunswick, where wel.known Republi.

Who is Mrs WINsLow.-As this oues-
ton is frequently asked, we will simply
say that she is lady who for upwards Of
thirty years has untiringly devoted her time
and talents as female physician and
nurse, principally among children. She
has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as a re-
suit of this effort, and practial knowledge,
obtained in q lifetime spent as nurse and
physician, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup, for children teething. 1t operates
like magic-giving rest and health, and IS
moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In
consequence of this article Mrs Winslow
is becoming world-renowned as beneiactor
of her race ;children certainly do rise up and
bless her; especially is this the
case in this city. Vast quantities of the
Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used
here. We think Mrs. Winslow has MINOR
talized her name by this lnvaluble article
and we sincerely believe thousands of chill
rem have been saved from an early grave by.
its timely use, and that millions yet unborn
will share Its benefits, and unite in calling
her blessed. No mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion. until she has given it the benefit of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Try it

MAINE.


New YORK, Sept. 1G.-The Democrats at
the National headquarters are openly charg-
ing this evening that the Republicans are
counting in their candidate in Maine.
They assert that while Plaisted's election is
certain the Republicans are holding back
returns from the remote districts and are
counting them to suit themselves. At Re-
publican headquarters early in the day
telegram was shown which said that Davis
was elected by / ,450 votes and the persons
in charge said they had no doubt of its
truth. Col. Hooker, who, until this morn
ing, had been all gloom, was lively and
the entire place looked new. Hooker said
that at every succeeding hour things looked
better and he thought Gen. Hancocks con-
gratulatory dispatch was premature and
should be withdrawn. Then Hooker and
Chester A. Arthur had conference which
resulted in their sending dispatch to
Blaine and the getting of reply to the eff
feet that the towns yet to be heard from
would probably elect Davis.
Dispatches received by the Democrats
this evening say that it is clearly the pur-
pose of Republicans to count out Paisted
and there are hints of trouble. The Repu.
blicans says that the gains are all in the in
accessible northern counties where the
Democrats could not buy up the voters.
The Democrats say that the Republicans
made no effort in the rural districts, but
made their fight in the towns and were de-
feated; hence it is absurd to say that they
made gains where there were no efforts
1t seems plain that neither side will get
the governorship without a contest. Both
sides at National headquarters tonight are
talking very loud ana scores of kilograms
are flying to and from Maine. Chairman
Barnum sent out circular to-day congratu-
latng Democrats on the victory. The Re-
publicans, it must be said, wear look of
confidence such as they have not exhibited
before this week.
At the National Republican headquarters
they say their superintendent in Portland
who has charge of collecting the returns
telegraphs;
The Republicans have a large majority
of the Legislature and county officers. The
latest figures of Press Agent Berry, whose
figures are the only acceptable ones till the
official count, shows only IS towns to hear
from. If these come in as last year the
Republicans will have plurality of abou,
220. Aroostook county is showing a gain
for the Republicans where Fusion gain
was expected. The remaining towns to
hear from make Davis plurality sure with
chance for majority. 1t will undoubt-
eddy require the official count to determine

Sowing Glover.

One of the cheapest and best meth
DDS of restoring the fertility of worn-
out or "tired' soils is by seeding it to-
clover. This may be done just as soon
as the crop of small grain is harvest
ed.-provided always, that the rains
fall frequently during that time, so
that the soil can be plowed and the
seed planted. If the conditions are ia
vorable considerable growth will be
made before winter. Then, if one
does not choose to spare the land for a
whole year, the crop of clover may he
turned under in May, and the ground
be planted to corn with beneficial ef-
fects. The best results, however, will
be secured by plowing under the
growth in July, and afterwards seed
ing with wheat. Another very easy
way to renovate worn-out ground is to
SOW clover on wheat in the spring. If
the season is favorable and the wheat
growth is not too strong, the clover
will do finely, and may be plowed un-
der and planted to potatoes or corn the
next spring. The time is coming
when more attention will be given to
clover and other green manures.

Poultry.
How To Raise Turkeys,

Turkey hens are persistent sitters;
they frequently have to be compelled
to leave the nest for food and water.
The French, who are always such STU
dious economists, avail themselves OF
this propensity to a very good profit
in the Matching of chicks. a turkey
hen will set steadily for three months.
BY giving little brandy the hen will
sit still longer. One great merit is:
that they will during all this while
keep in such good condition that they
can easily be fattened and killed when
their services are no longer needed.
Turkeys are very tender when young
until they finish shooting the red. >
When the chicks are all hatched the
mother turkey should be confined in a
small coop placed in an enclosure of
about six feet square, surrounded by
board twelve or fifteen inches high.
After a while the lien can be allowed
her freedom. She will guard her
chicks carefully, and will stray in the
enclosure with them. or near by. The
young turkeys must not he subjected
to dampness nor allowed to run in wet
grass. When about three weeks old
they can be allowed their liberty with
the hen on fine days. They must he
fed "little and often," and allowed to
get no ''back SETS At first feed
bread thoroughly soaked in milk. and
give new milk to drink. Give hard
boiled eggs mashed up and mixed
with the bread and milk. Feed at
least four or five times u day, giving
each time just 80 much as they eat up
clean. After a week or two give them
curds, and continue until five or six
weeks old. At this age feed scalded.
Indian meal we'll mixed with, curd;
also, at another time in the day, give
scalded Indian. wheat mitdlings and
bran mixed. the mixture to be three
fourths bran. Turkeys must be liber-
orally fed, and after they are safely
through the critical period of their
lives, will gain in size very rapidly.
They should he fed on stimulating
food during the moulting season.
on account of the great rapidity
of shedding and the great change
they then undergo. From being stark
naked they will he entirely feathered
in a few weeks. They are at this
time, of course. lighter in weight.
4 curious fact, and one worthy of no.
tice, is that the hens will not moult
until they are through sitting. Hence,
if from any cause they are set very
late, the moulting is correspondingly
later. We have known a hen to be
entirely bare at Christmas. This
must by all means be avoided, or the
hens will likely not he able to with
stand the trying ordeal. 1t has been
observed that turkeys show a great
fondncss for danlelion leaves, in
preference to all other greens. From
the well-known medical properties of
this plant, it will be we'll to SOW few
seeds in some waste spot near the tul'-
key house, 50 they can have a con.
slant supply.

Fer matters.

The honorable U. S. Congress has
made an appropriation for the Agri-
cultural department, for the ensuing
year, Of the niggardly sum OF 1928, 900.
To make the department useful to the
farmers of this country, a sum of at
least three times that amount should
be appropriated. When respectable
minority of the agriculturists of the
United States become members of
Congress, this state of things may be
changed.
