We have had the exclusive sale of the
Rock ford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL.
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, "a we
have no money To advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that We have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced iu, because we were
going to leave 1t. They know that We
are not travelling experimental insti-
tuition, and they will continue to buy
their Watches, Silver Ware, ETC., of

Grave and a Little Girl is
Heir TO Hrs Throne

LONDON, Nov. % king Alfonso
died at Madrid at o:45 o'clock this
morning ofconsumption, accelerated
by dysentery. The widow of the
King is completely prostrated by his
death.
MADRID, Nov. 25.-Throughout
Monday night King Alfonso had
spasmodic fits, the result of fever
and debility. Six doctors from
Madrid and two physicians of FL
Pardo were in constant attendance
They decided on Tuesday morning
that the King was in a dangerous
condition. The fits continued
throughout Tuesday and the King
died at S:45 o'clock this morning.
The Pope's benediction arrived be-
fore be expired. All the officers of
state and Cabinet ministers, except
the Minister of War and the Minis
ter of the Interior, were present at
the moment of dissolution. The
Cabinet met Immediately aud the
Queen was appointed Regent, in ac-
cordance with the law. The men,
bers of the Cabinet have rendered
their designations, but will remain
in office pending the Regents pleas
ure. The body of King Alfonso will
be inferred in the Palace of Escurial.
Orders have been issued that the
troops he confined to the barracks.
Great anxiety prevails here. A rig
i'd censorship is exercised over press
telegrams.

The death Of Vice-President Hen
dricks has again brought up the dis
cussion of the succession in case the
President was to die before the meet
ing of Congress Oh Monday next.
Judge Thurman briefly states the
position as follows:
"The theory of the Senate is that
il is perpetual body. Neither is
there a time when there is not a
House OF Representatives. The
Senate, before the commencement of
the present vacation, failed to elect
= President pro TEN, as is usually
the case few days before the ad-
iournment. and this leaves the eoun-
try without Vice President at this
time. If the President should die
before the 9TH of December. an inter
regnum would exist in the office
until the Senate, which meets on
that date, should elect President
of that body, who would assume the
duties of President of the United
States and continue to discharge the
same until another election for Pres
ident and Vice President was held.
In the nseantime the Secretary Of
State would netify the Governors of
the Federal States. who would order
a new election, which, however,
could not be held until next Noven,-

Aifonso's Funeral Train.

MADRID, Nov. 27.-The remains
of King Alfonso were to-day convey
ed from El Pardo to Madrid with
great pomp. Queen Christina AID
her two little daughters occupied a
carriage Immediately behind the fu-
neral car and were heavily veiled to
conceal their emotions. Behind the
royal carriage was an imposing cor
tege, comprising 1900 private car
riages of the nobility and gentry OF
Spain. The streets were lined with
thousands of spectators.
All the troops in Madrid had been
ordered on duty. but their presence
was not needed. The populace ap-
peared stricken with grief and full OF
sympathy for the widow and or
phans. Many of the women wept,
and the men occasionally cheered as
the equipage of some famous or pop
ular noble came In sight.
On arriving at the Escurial palace
the main entrance, reserved for the
monarchs of Spain, was thrown open
and the body was carried from the
car to the Hall of Columns, attended
by the Queen and all the assembled
grandees. The body will lie in
State for three days, beginning to.
morrow.

The gossips are at work eagerly
guessing who will be elected Presl-
dent of the Senate, when that body
convenes on the 9TH inst. Senators
Edmunds. Sherman and Logan are
all spoken of. The two former are
the recognized Republican leaders
and debaters on the floor, and 1t is
probable that their party friends
will not be willing to place either o.
them in the Chair, when their sery'
ices on the floor during what is ex'
pected to be an exciting session, may
be required. On the other hand, II
is urged that as General Logan was
SO lately designated as the choice ol
the Republican masses fer that po'
sition. there would be fitness III
his election to it by his colleagues
Two things are certain, however
there will be no unseemly scramble
for the Office, and the successor o
Mr.. Hendricks as President of the
Senate will be a Republican.

Thanksgiving Storm in New England

BosToN, Nov. 27.-The storm
which has ragged for severaldays sub.
sided yesterday. At Crescent Beach
the principal hotel was almost COM
pletely demolished. The tide tore
down the piazzas and as the water
rose higher the surf broke with full
force against the side of the house.
The entire front and side were
dashed to pieces by the force of the
waves, which reached as high as the
second story. Bath-houses without
number were carried away. The
rain changed to snow and the fall in
Vermont and New Hampshire is
very heavy, varying in depth from
one to two and one-half feet, while
in some sections there are great
drifts which serioualy impede travel.

The National House of Represen-
tatives, at its coming session will
number 325 members. The Demo-
crats will have majority of forty
three, counting with them a Green
back Democrat. The Republicans
will have 1sl votes, assigning to
them one Greenbacker. Nineteen
State delegations in the House have
Democratic majorities, while Con-
necticut, New York and Illinois are
equally divided. There are few
Southern Republicans in the House.
aud OF these the best known is Rob-
ert Smalls, OF South Carolina, while
Mr.. 0'Hara, of North Carolina, is
the only Republican in its delega-
ton. In the Senate the Republicans
will have eight majority and nine
teen States; the Democrats fifteen,
and Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey and
Nevada each one Republican and
one Democratic Senator. The ses
sion will be an important one, as
Congress will be called upon to con-
slider a number of euestisns of vital
interest to the county, including sill
yer coinage, the tariff and others.

Eight Indians Executed

BArrLEFoRD, n. w. T., Nov. 27.-
The execution of the eight Indians
found guilty of murder at Frog Lake
and Battleford, occurred at o:2l this
morning. The mechanism OF the
gallows was without friction.
The hangings were conducted
publicly and Witnessed by large
number of whites and a few Indians.
No trouble occurred. All confessed
their crimes and appeared to be in
different as to their fate. A few In
dians from each reserve were collec-
ted to witness the execution of their
countrymen, so that by seeing 1t
they might be convinced that the
condemned men were actually hang
ed. The eight prisoners wereplaced
on the trap and chanted the death
song of their tribes. There was no
bungling and no unsightly scenes.
The Indians present made no de-
monstrations and appeared to be
impressed bv the fate of their COM
panions.
Seven of the eight Indians suffer
ed for participating in the horrible
massacre at Frog Lake on April !
last, in which the Indians under the
head of Wandering Spirit, nearly
exterminated the white settlers O.
that place. The eighth Indian was
hanged for murder.

will make up the House Committee.
Speaker Carlisle, whose name was
the first suggested, will probably not
go. He said to-day that he was
anxious to attend the funeral. but
as ne had been quite sick recently
and is not by any means a well
man, he thought it imprudent to
make the trip. He is feeling better
than yesterday.
The committee will attend the
funeral in the capacity of mourners
only. En- route they will be in
charge OF ofSargeants-at-arms Canady
and Leedom. of the Senate and

officials will have nothing to do

THE whole country was shocked
on Wednesday evening last to learn
OF the sudden death of the Vice
President of the United States. Al
though not distinguished by any re-
markable ability, Mr.. Hendricks
had attained an honorable reputa-
tion, as is attested by his election to
the second position in the gift OF the
Nation. He had been long in the
public service, and had won the es-
TEEN and confidence OF his political
friends. His personal character was
without blemish, and his public ca
reer was unsullied and pure, For
nearly thirty years he has been
prominent as a Democratic politi-
clan. As member of the Legisla-
ture of Indiana, Member of Con-
gress, United States Senator, Gov
ernor of his State and Vice Presi"
dent of the United States he has oc-
cupied conspicuous position before
the country, and his official action
has been widely criticised. He was
a strong Democrat and an unfiinch-
ing partisan. an opponent OF civil
service reform; a believer in the an
cient doctrine that "to the yictors
belong the spoils," and was a much
better exponent Of the general SEN
timents of his party than is the
present Chief Magistrate. 1t was
his name that gave strength to the
Democratic ticket in the late 6am.
paign, and his personal popularity
and unbending devotion to the par
ty drew thousands to its standard.
He will be deeply mourned by all
who knew him personally, and his
loss will be keenly felt by his polii-
ical friends and the country at large.
