Two DANGEROUS SEASONS. Spring
and fall are times when so many people
get sick. The changes in the weather
are severe on feeble persons, and even
those naturally strong are apt, as they
say, "to be feeling miserable Then
they are just in condition to be struck
down with some kind of fever. A bottle
or two of Parker's Tonic will invigorate
the digestion, put the liver, kidneys and
blood in perfect order and prevent more
serious attacks. Why suffer and perhaps
die, when SO simple a medicine will save
you? Good for both sexes and all ages.

SORGHUM KILLING CATTLE.-BEALEs
VILE, Ohio, Oct. 3,-For the last ten
days strange and fatal disease has
afflicted cattle iD several portions of
Belmont county. The disease killed in
from one 10 two hours, and, what was a
still greater wonder. rarely affected any
stock but cows. No explanation could
be given, 5ut the brutes had all the
symptoms of mineral poison. Yesterday
morning John r. Sweitzer, dairyman,
fed his seventeen Jersey and Durham
cows dried bundles CT sorghum blades,
and in an hour fifteen were dead This
led to an examination and experiment,
and it was found that the sorghum blades
were the cause of the disease. The long
drought has dried up all grass, and the
corn fodder is not yet ready to feed. In
this emergency many farmers prepared
sorghum leayes for food for their milch
COWS. This shows why they almost ex
clusively were attacked. Swetzer's loss
is 81, 300, The loss in the country from
this source is estimated at from $4,000 20

REPUBLICANisM FORMULATED. The
first speech that Mr.. Blaine has made
thus far since his departure from hcme
for the West that has been of political
or partisan character, be made at Roch-
ester, N. Y, last week. IL the course
of two minute speech, he said:
The Republican party embodies in its
creed four distinct and important doc
trines.
l. Peace with the whole world.
2. Commercial expansion in every
practical direction.
3. Encouragement of every form of
American industry.
4. Protection to every citizen, native
or civilized, at home and abroad.
Under these policies the Republican
party strives to conduct the Government.
Under these principles the Republican
party submits itself to the judgement of
the American people. On sthese princi-
pies we conquer, or on these I'VE are cons
quered
1t would be very difficult to formulate
in so few words better statement of the
principles, spirit and purposes of the
'tgrand old party"

boston Heral d.

At a trial in Augusta, Me-, the other
day, before Judge Whitehouse, the case
being family quarrel between disgruntled
heirs, among the witnesses for the defense
was pair of twins. They were not ordi-
nary twins. They had hair of the bright
est auburn, eyelids the color of fax, pink
and white complexions, and dresses ex-
actly alike, even to the most unimportant
bow. Their names even were exactly
alike, with the single exception that an a
appeared in one of their names, instead of
an o.
When the first appeared on the stand the
jury, judge and lawyers regarded her at
tentively; she gave her testimony in a
modest manner and stepped down. An
other name was called; it was that of her
twin sister. AS her counterfeit present.
ment quietly took the stand there was q
hush in the courtroom.
Judge, jury, lawyers and spectators sat
transfixed, and gazed first at the witness
in the box and then at the place where her
sister had taken her seat. They could
hardly believe their eyes; it seemed as If
the last witness had returned to the box
without being recalled. The lawyer con.
ducting the cross-examinaton put the
usual questions; the name and residence
were, to all appearances, the same in the
case of her double, just on the stand, and
the voice precisely the same in tone and
infection. The jury looked at each other,
and seemed ready to match coppers as to
whether they were awake or not. Then the
lawyer asked the witness if she had been
on the stand before during the trial, and
received a quiet answer in the negative
| This satisfied the Court, although, if her
| twin sister had not sat in plain view at the
| other end of the courtroom, it is by no
means crrtain that she would not have
ben indicted for perjury.

strong proof for those who are disposed
10 question the motives and honesty OF
Messrs. ST. John i Co. The Prohibition
lists received no aecessions from the DEM
ocratic ranks, and they never viii.
They have not tried to. The aim Of the
leaders is to defeat the Republican party.
At their banquet in this city last week
they spent the time and devoted their
speeches TO rejoicing over the Republican
defeat The masses Of Republican voters
who cast their votes with the Prohibition
lists did SO from what they conceived TO
be a high sense of duty. On all other
questions they are Republicans and would
vote with that party. They voted for pro-
hibition with no other view than the sue
cass OF that movement, and find that
they have more than thrown their votes
away. Their leaders have no assurance
of success to offer in the recent vote.
They simply congratulate themselves tnat
they have beaten the Republican party.
They give no promise Of anything else,
and express no other intention. Repub-
licans who went in with them have had
their eyes opened. They will not con-
tinue to support movement which IL
conducted as an aid to Democratic sue
cess, and with no other purpose on the
part OF many OF those who foster it.
Some might be willing to sacrifice their
Republican principles in the interest ol
prohibition, but are not ready to do 30 in
the interest OF Democratic success. The
Prohibition leaders have shown their
hands. The voice is the voice of prohibi
ton, but the hand is joined with the De
mocracy.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

New York sam: One great distinction
of the late Frank Moulton is that he
never told lie.
Syracuse Standard: Ingersoll seems
not to love Blaine any more. This Is
IngersolPs loss and Blaine's gain.
Chicago Ne,cs: The more we see of the
Brand Leman case the more we believe
the Legislature should do something this
winter toward reforming our election
laws. There are as many holes In the
present law as there are in a ladder.
Detroit Free Press: The election of
President Arthur as Senator from New
York by the Republican majority in the
Legislature would be far more creditable
to both parties and to the State than the
election OF Mr.. Conkling by bargain
between Democrats and Republicans.
Atlanta Constitution: A Democratic
President has tbeen elected, and his ad-
ministration will be Democratic. When
his term is out another Democratic Presi-
dent will be elected. The country is
safely Democratic, and will be SO for a
quarter of century, possibly longer. The
negroes, as well as the Blainiacs, will
have to make the most OF these things.
Philadelphia Times: Now that the
Democrats have won President, they
are sorely perplexed to know just how to
handle him. They are unused to that
business, and they don't know how to
catch on. Besides, they don't know just
how Democratic President will take tC
being handled; and both the party anG
the President being novices in the work
the task is delicate one all round.

old parties viii not find much encourage
ment SO far az the Democratic party is
concerned, in the number OF votes cast in
the Southern States for the Prohibition
candidates. The following is the total

gia. 1S4; Virginia. 1913: Louisiana. 3sS;
Arkansas, none. Mississippi. none; South
Carolina. polss. In all these Southern
States the Prohibitonists did not receive
a. many votes as they did in Kent county
alone. A more significant TACT Is that the
Prohibitioaists did their work, in the
Northern States which were regarded AZ
doubtful. New York. Ohio. Indiana. Con
pecticut. Illinois and Michigan. and in
the.e states received the larVest vote

hibition leaders cunti1e their work TO
