ward is represented by republican,
and the mayor was paymaster in the
federal army, they yet have such a
high sense OF honesty and integrity
that not one of them will support
Blaine. The Irish and Germans are
unanimous in their support of Cleve-

Our calling is such as to forbid us

not be worthy to live in a free country

now give warning voice to the

greatest peril. And we knew no bet
ter way to WELD all influence over our
people than to publish to the world the
sentiment of the Dover people-for she
is always right. Be assured my friends,

your free institutions, is the election of
Cleveland and Hendricks, to take
charge of the reins of the government.
Do this and all will be right. w.

THE KANSAS GERMANS TO THE OHIO
GERMANS.

The German-American Volks- Verein
OF Kansas, representing at least seven
eighths OF the German votes of the
state" have issued letter of warning
TO The German voters of Ohio. They
say that the attempt TO enforce prohib-
tive legislation in Kansas has been a
costly failure, ,amd that '.the evils grow
ing out of it are very damaging to the
state financially, socially and morally
They then add
After four years of trial a majority OF
the people of the state demand, with
out question, the &e-submission of the
prohlbltory amendment to another
vote but the republican party in its
state convention in July opposed, and
going further declared emphaticllly its
Intention "tO make the prohibitory
law effective" The prohibition re-
publican party of Kansas is not sup
porting st. John for president, but is
supporting James G. Blaine, with the
open boast that it will make the
national republican organization its
tool for so amending the constitution
OF the United States as to prohibit the
manufacture, importation and sale of
anu 5.
How far it has gone in that direction is
SHOWN by the fact that Senator Z. L.
Plumb, of this state, who is now in
Ohio, introduced in the senate of the
United States, and advocated there, a
resolution providing for an amendment
to the constitution of the United States
forever prohibiting the manufacture,
sale and importation of spirituous, vim
Gus and malt liquors, and Senator John
j.. Ingalls,, of this state, introduced in
the senate of the United States bill to
prohibit the issuing of government
permits i'll states which have prohibito.
ry laws.
They therefore urge the Germans of
Ohio to support the democratic ticket
at the November elections and do all in
their power to secure the election of
Governor Cleveland.

THE BLUE-GLAsS THEORY.
From the Boston Transcript.l

lFrOm the Boston Transcript
Not discouraged by the ridicule which
his blue-glass theory excited some
years ago, Gen. II. j. PIeasamton will
exhibit in the next Pennsylvania agri-
cultural fair a group of domestic ami
mails, to prove by ocular demonstra-
ton the extraordinary developments
which have been achieved in the rear
ing of farm stock under the influences
of the associated blue and plain trans
parent glasses. In the list will be com.
comprised colts, heiiers, pigs, and
poultry, which have been raised on Gen
Pleasanton's farm. Says Gen. Pleas
anton: "rhey will be placed on exhi
bltion so that anyone can see for him
self the results Of this treatment and
the value to mankind of its application
He believes in his theory as firmly a>
ever, and says that electromagnetic
as developed by the passage of sun
light or the diffused light of dav
through adjacent panes Of blue and
plain transparent glasses, possesses Il
wonderful curative power. This pow
cr, as illustrated by numberlcss exam
Piles, far transcends any power known
in medicine, and when it shall come TO
be well understood will supcrscde
largely the allopathic and homeopathic
treatment of disease by matcria
mcdica.'

DOVER.

The city which bears the above name
is one of the principal marts of tie
great state of Missouri. Its population
IS almost beyond computation; its COM
mercial interests are very extensive,
commanding the rich and abundant
production of the widest extent of fer
tile soil beneath the sun, a soil which
produces all kinds of cereals of the best
quality, and in:such great quantities as
an almost sufficient to supply the wants
OF the vast population of this mighty
city. This emporium is situated OH the
airline railroad, constructed by Steele
& Co., in 1883; and is to-day the very
soul of that powerful corporation.
There are to the north of this city nu-
merous hills or small mountains, whose
picturesque scenery is unsurpassed by
that of historic Switzerland, and whose
great mineral wealth is almost entirely
unknown.
1t is true, that quite a number OF
hands are now engaged in raising vast
quantities of coal from its long resting
place beneath these towering hills; but
much the greater partof this is consumed
by the numerous manufacturers of the
city. Not a small part of this valuable
article is shipped to supply the great
demand OF Herculaneum, the capital of
Poland.
This city has many magnificent build
ings, wide streets, beautifully shaded,
Except that portion settled by the
French and is most desirable place
for family residences. Our public i'm
provements are far superior to those of
any other city in the western CONT
nent. The new water works now
nearing completion under the SUPER
vision of Prof. Vaughan, are indeed the
wonder OF the world.
We have stated thus much that your
appreciative readers might be enabled
to form some just conception of the
mighty influence we can, and do ex-
ert in presidential canvass.
Do not be alarmed when | tell you
that all our city officials are repuLI-

Our school is flourishing under the
management of Miss Anna Gilbert, OF

Mrs. c. Stone, of Napoleon, has on a
nice large stock of millinery goods, and

munity.

Mr.. WIN. Chinn, Charles Coward

sincerely hope they will find attraction
here, which will be so charming that
they will conclude to remain.

there will be in the near future.

full to the old, and was general favor
ite with his school mates and play
mates. He was good boy and was
liked by all who knew him. He was
taken with chill on Friday afternoon,
and died OH Sunday evening as the
clock was just striking seven, he died
with spinal meningitis. We would
say in these few lines written in men,
ory of one whom all learned to love,
that he has been taken by all all-wise
and all-loying God, and that the stroke
will fall heavily OH the fond parents Of
this dear young soul, and that it seems
hard to give up the one we all loved so
well. We should remember that our
Father in heaven doeth all things well.
We would say to the stricken mother,
to weep not for your boy, for he is
now enjoying the brightness of heaven,
singing with thousands of angels in
glory, and that yosshave bright jew
ell that binds you 10. heaven, and Chat
yon have the assurance that you can
meet your dear boy where no sickness,
no death, no sorrow, no weeping, no
trouble can ever come, but where all
will be joy, peace. love, happiness and
bliss around the throne of God in heav-
ell. We would say to father and sisters
to remember that you can meet Clalld
~, that l,oouf;f,,l ol,oro on1 ,;,,o nth
him and all the loved ones that have
passed to that evergreen shore. We
would say to all of the relatives and
friends OF this dear little angel, to weep
not for HIM, but strive to meet him,
and to so conduct yourselves that when
you come to die that you may die as
peacefully as he, and that your future
may be as bright as his. His funeral
was preached at the family residence
by Bro. Roth, who said all tn at could
have been said to console his weeping
parent and friends. There were very
large number present at the funeral
and ut the grave, where all that was
left to us of Claudio was laid to rest,
to sleep till the close of time; when the
trumpet of God shall awake all that
sleep, and we shall come forth to be
reunited in one grand family to sing
the praise Of God forever in a world
where all is happiness and peace around
the throne of God in heaven.
