A Few Questions for Soldiers.

1. Does the Democratic party like
you better than the Republican party
does? If so, why.
2. From 81 to '65 and from 80 to the
end of time, did the Democratic party
Democratic rebellion? If so, why?
3. Who now control the Democratic
party? What States put 1t in power
again? Was it the old loyal States of
the North or the solid South? If the
solid South, do you feel that your coun-
try is in better hands now than it was
under Lincoln, Grant, or Garfield?
4. Will the Democratic party take
better care of your widow or your chill
dren than the Republican? If so, tell
why.
8. Will the Democratic party give us
more liberal pensions? If so, why?
6. Will the Democratic party be more
apt to save, cherish, and defend what it
attempted to destroy when you threw
your life between it and destruction
If so, why? Tell me, why?
You know better, my good comrades,
than to trust a party that has never
loved you or your glorious cause.
Whatever the Democratic party has
done for you has been forced upon it.
All that the Republican party has done
for you was born of profound gratitude
and deep appreciation of your noble
services.
appeal to all good citizens to stand
by the Republican party.
Its flag is the flag of the Union.
Under that flag the Cray-haired pa
triarch should stand.
Under it should fight the citizen who
revels in the wealth of matured phys
ical and intellectual powers.
The young man, just entering the
wonderful field where the citizen be-
comes the crowned sovereign, should
make no mistake.
Let him not enter a party that is
weighted down by the darkest political
crimes of the century.
Let each and all stand by the party,
holding as its political faith the Consti-
tuition of the United States; the party
of freedom; the party of the poor man !;
the party of the laboring man: the
party of an untrammeled and q truth
full ballot-box; the party that caught

The New York Ticket.

The Buffalo Express thus speaks of
the Republican State ticket:
Davenport, Carr, Wadsworth-if any
State ticket was ever framed with three
such acceptable candidates on it we
don't happen to recollect it. If any
three names could have been brought
together giving n fuller representation
Of the whole party, or fairer promise
of union and harmony, we are not able
to think of them. If we can't win with
them 1t is because victory would have
been impossible tor the Republican
ticket this year under any circum-
stances. We have not space for speak
ing at length upon the merits of the
other candidates. Nor is it necessary.
If the other names were those of weak
and insignificant men, the three already
mentioned would still have weight
enough to make a strong ticket. But
they are not. In all its parts and as q
whole the Republican State ticket is q
strong one, worthy of the party's
cordial and unanimous support, and,
we hope and Judge, sure to get it. That
is the only thing needed for its cleo
tion by an old-fashioned harmonious
Republican majority.

market than those of Great Britain, or
France, or Germany, or any other
country in the world. We gave you q
sound national currency that was ac-
sording to the desire Of patriots, but
until the Republican party came into
power il never was realized. We Sc
cured to the landless the homestead
law, for while the Democratic Presi-
dents prevailed no homestead law could
pass, and the last Democratic Presi-
dent-himself bachelor like Grover
Cleveland vetoed the homestead law.
1t was not until Abraham Lincoln was
elected that we got the benefit of q
homestead law.
Another thing we did: We brought
about resumption of specie payments,
and made our notes as good as gold
coin. My friends, the Cincinnati En-
Qttirer said it could not be done; that
while / was trying to carry it out that
way, every corner grocery that failed
was "Shermanized."
My friends, let us stand by the old
Republican party; let us stand by it in
the city, let us stand by it in the State,
let us stand by it in the nation. We
have Amor Smith for your city; give
us Foraker in the State, and in due
time you will have a Republican

DOUBLE MURDER.
Albert Cook Stays His Mother and His
Mother-in-Law, at Camp
ton, Ill.
lElgin 1ll.) telegram

At the town of Campton, a few miles
from here, Albert Cook shot his wife and
mother in law, Mrs. Butts, the latter dying
instantly. She was "a years old, and had
resided with her children for over thirty
years, since her husbands death. Cook
has worked for William Smith, who rents
the Frank Burr farm. His domestic
troubles were frequent and serious. He
has threatened to kill his wife at regular
intervals. for which offense he was arrested
and lodged in Jail. His father bailed him
out and took him to Chicago, and he had
not been seen by his family until this
morning. Cook walked into the house at
five this morning. He had evidently been
sleeping outdoors all night. The first
words he said startled the women out of
their slumber. He said:
Get out of there, nowl I'm most frozen.
This Is pretty thing you've been doing. )"
His mother in law answered: "And this
is pretty thing you have been doing"
AT this he fired upon her. killing her in
stantly. The ball entered her forehead and
lodged in her brain.
His wife sprang out of bed and advanced
toward him IN the endeavor to wrest the
revolver from him. He backed slowly
away from her, all the while firing, until
she reached the door leading into the
sitting-roo which she closed on him.
Two shots entered her abdomen, one broke
her right arm, and two lodged in the fatty
part of her left arm.
Mrs. Cook is young woman and has
lived with her husband for ten years, bear
ing gently his brutality until it became
necessary for her to cause his arrest, he
having shot mt her once before and threat
ened many times TO kill her. Cook pro-
cured divorce yesterday. Two children
were born to the unfortunate couple. Both
are boys, aged and 10. When they heard
the shooting they ran down stairs from the
bedroom and ont to the barn, where b. II.
McNight, farmland, was at work.
McNight ran to the house and found o

Where did he go?" asked McNight Of
Mrs. Cook.
She told him Up stairs.
Midnight closed the stair door. thinking
he would keep Cook locked in until assist
ance came, but Cook was not up stairs.
AS yet he has not been captured. Cook is
thought to be deanged, but his father
says: "He was always deranged, then.
He's Just ugly" The father is respecta-
BILE old gentleman, of German birth, and
quite recently spelled his name Koch. He
intended to take his son to Kansas, where

Five Men Killed Outright and Many
Others Badly, III Not Fatally,
Injured.
Fergus Falls CMinn.) dispatch !

A serious smashup of John Robinson's
circus train occurred on the Northern Pa,
cific. Fergus and Black Hills Road, branch
OF the Northern Pacific, at Ames Station,
six miles west of this city. Four cars were
broken TO pieces, five men killed, and
large number injured The train was in
two sections. After passing Ames the
coupling of the four rear cars of the for
ward section broke, and there being heavy
grade they ran back toward the rear Sec
tion. The rear engine ran into the wild
cars at nearly full speed, with terrific
crash, injuring the forward part of the
engine badly and totally demolishing the
cars. These were common freight-cars,
fitted up with hunks, etc., as sleeping-car
for the canvasmen and roustabouts of the
circus. They contained nearly 200 men,
and the mystery is that SO many escaped
with their lives. terrible scene followed
the collision. Their were shrieks, groans.
and cries from the many injured, and howls
and curses from those who were trying to
extricate themselves from the wreck. Peo-
pie in the rear section, none of them hurt,
lent all the aid possible. and the for
ward engine was dispatched at once
to Fergus Falls for surgical assistance,
returning in half an hour with the
Northern Pacific physicians here. The
following are the names of the dead:
George krouse. Cincinnati. His brother lives
at No. 81 Main street, Cincinnati. II. Roberts,
Wadena, Mimi. canvassman. Charles Wallace,
joined the circus at Portland, Me-; laborer
Samuel Blair, Colfax, Dakota; laborer James
Wilson, Cincinnati, formerly policeman; train
watchman.
yhe most seriously wounded are as follows:
James Eccles, Nova Scotia dislocated shoulder
and bruises; probably fatal. Joe Brown, New
York leg hurt VIM. Winfield, Appomattox,
Va side and rack: will die. Thomas Vanata,
rEptured. James Meyers, sprained ankle and
legs bruised AL Turner. Iowa, foot mashed.
Henry Rose, New York, leg and arms bruised
VIM. Murray, New York. head badly cut. James
Coleman. colored leg cut jenkins. head can
yasman, jaw smashed. Ed Siegler, Cincinnati,
head hurt VIM. Warren. Cleveland, both hands
jammed; Will have to be amputated.
Nearly every man in the four cars is
somewhat bruised and hurt, but, except the
above. none seriously. A brakeman named
Peterson could not be found after the
wreck was cleared, and it is not known
whether he was killed or ran away. The
injured will be sent to the Northern Pacific
Hospital Mt Brainerd. and an inquest will
be held tomorrow on the remains of the
deceased, which will be held at the dispo-
sition of relatives, if any telegraph; other
wise they will probably be buried here. A
colored band in one Of the cars escaped
with little injury except to their instru-
ments nearly all of which were smashed
beyond repair.

BOLD ROBBERY.
Four Men Intlmidate and Rob the Pas
sengers ON Pennsylvania
Train.
[Pittsburg dispatcn.l


Altoona specials report daring robbery
on passenger train on the branch of
the Pennsylvania Road which connects
Altoona with Hollidaysburg, the county
seat The line is only eight miles long,
and the run is made in about thirty min
utes. and the robbers were therefore COM
pelled to do their work quickly. The train,
which was composed of the engine. combi-
nation baggage and passenger car, aud the
regular passenger coach, had proceeded
but short distance from Hollidaysburg
when il was boarded by four hard-looking
individuals, who wore handkerchiefs to
conceal the lower half of their faces. The
leader was distinguished by the fact that
his nose was almost entirely eaten away by
cancer.
While his three companions. one at each
end OF the regular passenger coach and
another in the center, with drawn revol-
vers, commanded the frightened male and
female passengers to keep their seats, the
man withouta nose took up the collection of
money and valuables. The total value of
money and jewelry taken is not yet ascer-
tanned, bat will certaiuly amount to big
sum.
The conductor, who was in the baggage
apartment of the front coach counting his
tickets, was unaware of the proceedings in
the rear coach until informed by passen-
ger in the smoking compartment. Has
tening through to the rear car a
fierce struggle ensued between him
and one of the robbers. The former
was the weaker. however. and he was laid
on the broad of his back, while cooked
revolver in close proximity to his head pre-
vented any further demonstration on his
part. In the meanwhile the wholesale rob-
berry was still in progress.
During the struggle the conductor made
an attempt to pull the bell-cord and notify
the engineer, but the robbers had antici-
pated him and cut the rope. When the
robbery in the second coach had been COM
pleted there was q hurried consultation of
the four masked men over the PROSTATE
form of the conductor, revolvers pointed
in each coach preventing any demonstra-
ton on the part Of the passengers who
might have regained their lost courage.
The train began to slacken Its speed as il
approached the next station. when suddenly
the robbers leaped off and ran at full speed
through the dense forest which surrounds
the track on either side. Sprinoing TO his
feet the conductor rushed through the
train, dashed over the tender into the cab,
and ordered the astonished engineer to
pull the throttle wide open." The order
was at once complied with, and in few
minutes the train steamed at frightful
speed into Altoona. It's unexpected
arrival and the blanched faces of the train
men and passengers were the means of col
lecting large crowd. One passenger, who
had evidently not given up his valuables
without a struggle. exhibited a bloody
hand, through which a knife had been
thrust.

notified, and special engines bearing sew

who have been patients in the small pox
hospital, make some very damaging charges
against the system of treating smallpox
patients in the hospital. They state that
they had been put in beds which had been
occupied by other patients, and that the
sheets had not been changed: that some of
the poor creatures in the ward in which
they were had the disease very bad, and
that the smell was dreadful; that attend
ants bade them good night when they were
most needed; that the first night Miss Bush
was in the hospital she was given bed
without bed-clothes, and she was forced to
lie there al night as she came into the
building; that little girl brought some
food to them, carrying the bread in her
bare hands, on which marks of small
pox were still fresh; that patients changed
their own clothes as long as they were able,
and, when they were not, those patients
who could go about did it for them; that
they were often i'll during the night and
wanted attendance when there were no
nurses about that during the night some
patients would keep knocking against the
wall or floor, but no one went near them to
see what was wanted, and no assistance
was given to those who were unable to
get up; that patients had sometimes to
wait for hours for a drink, and that those
whose eyes were closed with the dis
ease sometimes begged for long time
for a lotion that was used to wash
them before they would get it, that
the dirt, and filth, and vile smells were
terrible; that as soon as the breath was out
of a patients body men came and sewed it
up in sheet, and instead of lifting it on q
stretcher let it fall TO the floor with q thud
that startled every one in the ward. These
charges are being investigated. The OFF,
cials of the hospital deny the truth of them,
and Dr. Nolin has been requested to pre-
pare an official statement for the medical
health officer.
The medical health officer reports that
there were forty y-nine well-authenticated
new cases of smallpox yesterday. The
civic Board Of Health now believe them
selves to be on the track of nearly every
case of smallpox. There is great rush
for vaccination in the East End, owing to
the manufacturers requiring their employees
to be vaccinnated.

The officers of the propeller Cuba called
at the Custom House this forenoon for the
necessary papers to allow the boat to re-
ceive coal here. When they said the pro-
peller was from Montreal, Health Officer
Wight was at once notified. He found the
boat at the foot of Third street. while
beavers were loading coal. The boat was
loaded with iron for Canadian port on
Lake st. Clair. The crew of dozen persons
was at once arrested and the boat quaran-
tined. The captain and purser under oath
said that sailor sick with small -pox had
been put ashore in Chicago Sept. 1S. and
another at st. Catharine's short time be-
fore, on the way to Chicago. The Cuba
has since been to Montreal, and left that
infected city Oct. 2. The coal-heavers
were all examined and found to bear vac
cnation marks. The crew were vaccinated,
and this afternoon ten pounds of sulphur
were burned on the vessel. All communi-
cation with the boat is denied. AS soon as
possible the boat will be hustled off on its
