ELLIS, the man who confessed that
he, with two other men named Craft
and Neal, were. guilty of the double
rape, triple murder and arson at Ash
land, Kentucky, has now, when he
comes to be tried himself, Craft and
Neal having already been convicted,
made a second confession, in which he
says that his first was lie. Ellis is a
liar and perjurer anyway; and there is
an obvious motive for his second con.
fession, while there is no ne, except the
pangs of guilty conscience, for the
first.

mination not to have anything to do

desperately among themselves. The

on the ground that by serving on the

THE Prohibitionists are contemplat,
ing a change in the name of their par
ty. The proposition to christen it the
"Home Protection Party" seems to be
favorably received. But the name is
not of much consequence, The fact
remains that it has fought the traffic
in liquor in Ohio for more than thirty
years, with uniform success in being
beaten. 1t has failed to educate the
people up to the idea of one man leg

The Germ Theory and Small Pox.

The value of Darby's Prophylactic Flu
id in destroying and counteracting the
effects of contagious diseases can scarcely
be estimated, as small pox and the like
are caused by certain germs gaining
place in the human body. The Fluid
successfully combats and destroys the
germs before they fully develop, thereby
divesting them of all power to harm.
Throughly disinfect your houses and
every place with the Fluid.

ANOTHER swindle has been devised
by the cunning sharper to get the un-
suspecting farmer into his tolls. An
alleged speculatOr in country produce
calls on a farmer, purchases ten or
fifteen dollars worth of eggs, butter
or poultry, says he wants receipt to
show the firm that he paid the money,
breaks the point of his pencil before
the signature is reached, then takes
from his pocket a fountain pen, and
the farmer uses it, signing his name.
The swindler then goes to town, sells
the produce erases the body of the
receipt and writes instead a promis-
sorry note for fifty or one hundred dol
lars, and has it discounted at the bank.

The nannocratlc CORPSE.

The Democratic party is surely a
lively corpse, and has been gaining
upon the Republican arrangement as
facts and figures will show. Repub-
lican journals are in the habit of
chronicling the death of the Democrat
ic party, or announcing that it is rap
idly going to pieces. The Philadel-
phia Telegraph, Republican, replies to
the wild statements of a contemporary
with few facts and figures of an in
structive character 1t says:
These returns show that while the Republican vote
has steadily proportionably decreased the Demo
cratic vote has steadily and certainly proportion
abby increased Surely as fate the Republicans
have been losing ground and the Democrats gain
ing it. Take first the official returns Of
1868. 1876.

If the contest of 1872 is referred to twill be
that, although Greeley largely bolted by the
Democrats he received upward OF one hundred
thousand more votes than Seymour did in 1864, yet
in 1880 the respective Republican majorities of
3O5 45s votes of 1864 and of 72 975 of 1872 cut
down to the pitible number of 3,033. The election
of 1876 can not we'll be considered. 1t was mud
died by fraud upon both sides, but it is probable
that Tilden had majority ofthe electoral and popu-
lar votes. Taking the four last elections together,
however, it will be seen that the Democrats have
been getting to the point where they can seize
the "spoils" and there is no more stupid thing to
be done on the part of the Republican journals
than to attempt to create the impression that the
Democratic party is in the last stages of dissolution
and that 1t is only the Republican party that is
vital with principles and inyunerably intrenched in
popular favor.
Had the full Democratic vote-the
same vote that Tilden got in 1876
been polled for Hancock in 1880, in
Alabama, Georgia, Mississlppi,' Lou
isiana, Virginia and some other South
ern States, Hancock's popular maiori-
ty over Garfield would have been not
less than 100000 But after the Oc-
tober election in Indiana, the Demo
Gratis of those States grew discour-
aged and did not cast their full vote
A party that has "a following of five
million of votes, organized and main
,ained without the aid of Federal pat
ronage, can hardly be called a dead
Institution.

Storm.

A week ago last night one of the sever
est storms of the season swept over North
ern Minnesota. In Morris great part of
tile houses were lighted up which showed
that the elements were making little too
much noise to allow people to osleep. Many
people who have suffered from previous
shocks of electricity, and many who have
weak nerves and sensitive temperments
are incapable of passing through such a
storm without suffering from intense fear.
Such people were to be pitied on that night
for electric discharges accompanied by
wind and rain came in rapid succession
and with terrific force. The amount of
rain which fell was almost incredible. The
dam at the foot of the lake south of town
was washed out and a large quantity Of
water escaped before it could be repaired; |;
some of the sidewalks in town were afloat;
each depression in the surface of the
ground was filed and the contents of the
cellars throughout the town had to be
placed upon higher platforms 10 keep them
above high water mark Another storm
which perhaps caused an equal amount of
wakefulness, but during which less
amount of rain fell, occurred last Friday
night.

The Beedle-Prindlc Pleasure Party

The Becdlc-Prindlo Pleasure Party
were at Berkin's hail last Monday evening.
In the forenoon of that day, from the bal
cony at the Metropolitan, and in the even
ing just before going TO the hall from the
street, the cornet band played few cx.
ceedingly fine selections. In the evening
the hall was crowded aud the audience
seemed we'll pleased with the entertain
ment. The pleasure party" was some.
what tedious, as were few other parts of
the programme, and some of the "extem.
poraneous witticisms" of the "Henncssys"
were too stale to be very funny. The
singing of Miss Jennie Peasley, however,
and the execution of the solos of j. G..
Salmon upon the cornet and of Mr.. Baker
upon the bombardon were remarkably fine.
Johnnie Prindle was the general favorite
and his parts never failed to bring down
the house. His song "Were Forgotten
When We're DID," was universally ad-
mired. AS whole the programme hardly
equals the one carried out by this COM
pany upon their former visit n year ago.

temperance.

Congregational church. Music had been
prepared especially for the occasion and
was rendered with fine effect by the choir
After the usual opening exercise the audi.
ence listened attentively to lecture by
ReY. E. S. Williams, Of Minneapolis. The
Lecture which lasted about all hour was ex-
ceedingly interesting and instructive. The
text was thou shalt notkill." The speak
cr then proceeded to show that our gov
ernment is not only protecting traffic
which destroys human life but one which
is subversive of the inalienable rights of
men, life, liberty and the pursuits of hap
very basis of our government, the consti-
tuition of the United States. The workings
Of prohibition in Kansas were referred to
and some practical lessons drawn from it,
after which the brilliant prospects for
such law in Minnesota was clearly
shown. The speaker stated very clearly
that there is no middle ground upon this
question. The selling of liquor is either
right or wrong. If right no restrictions
ought to be placed upon it, If wrong no
amount of license or other tax should per-
nit it. He thought all would agree that
it 10 wrong and that in the near future q
prohibitory clause would be added to the
constitution of Minnesota and this blight
ing curse be driven from the North Star
State. At the close of the lecture liber.
al collection was taken up for the benefit
of the socicty under whose auspices it was
given, and a hearty vote of thanks ten
dered Mr.. Williams for the lecture he had
delivered
