The County Election.

Although the weather of Tuesday last
was exceedingly favorable for large
| vote. the official returns which we give
below show, that very light vote was
polled throughout the county. This was
not the case six years ago when Local
Option was the paramount local issue,
the largest vote ever polled in the county
having been thrown then viz, D 657 on
the Presidential contest and 5. 1856 on the
license question. By the returns OF
| Tuesday last it will be seen, that the ag
| gregate vote on the question of license
| which was he over shadowing local issue
this year, was only 4, 470, Or GIG votes less
than were cast on the same question in
1880, and l, 49, votes below the Presi
Dental vote of that year. Compared with
the vote at the Presidential election in
1884, the aggregate vote on Tuesday last
on license was l 100 behind it, the vote
of the county being two years ago $3.50.
The vote for Congressman on Tuesday
was also 1,036 votes behind that OF 1854,
the aggregate vote then being $500,
while this fall it was only 4 563.
The difference between the Congress
sioual and license vote of Tuesday last is
also noticeable, 93 voters having cast
ballots for Congressional candidates who
did not vote at all on the question of
license Different theories of course are

Gates assert that they were not organized
and that their full vote was not out. We
don't think this theory satisfactory. be
cause we believe that both sides got
every available voter to the polls, the
license people pursuing the ''Stiil hunt
method, while the advocates of Prohibi-
ton made an open and aggressive cam
paign. We think the most reasonable
theory to explain the deficiency in the
vote is, that large number of persons
throughout the county who are practi-
cally temperance men lost the courage of
their convictions on the subject of Pro
hibition by the cry raised about the i'm
possibility of enforcing roh,bitory laws.
They got into a doubtful state of mind
on the subject, and not being willing to
identify themselves with the advocates
of license, decided not to vote at all, and
let the election go by default so tar as
they were concerned.

Singular Accident.

On Monday, Oct, 18th, Samuel S. WISE
prominent citizen of Peach Bottom
township, mounted his horse to ride in
search OF a lost pig. As he WAS hurry
ing along his horse stumbled and he fell
over it's head and the horse trampei on
his thumb. breaking or dislocating it.
He gave the matter but little attention
until Wednesday when he sent for DIR.
FIndley, who gave it surgical attention
and left directions for it's care. On
Thursday the pain having increased and
extended to his wrist, he sent for Drs.
Hawkins and Amos, but we understand
they pronounced his condition hopeless,
his nervous system being badly disorder
ed. Since that time Mr.. Wise has been
lying in very weak con ition. On Tues

message to that effect was sent to his
daughter at Bellaire. OHIO. At latest

in this community shall not be lawful.
BY those who composed the large MINOR

very great diversity OF reasons Tor their
action would be gwen. Now it is not
sons that | venture to guess what one OF
them m ~ have ,ll acted the par
of American citizens and unless some
illegal or dsh0norable act was committed
no one should question since the contest
has ended. 1t may be, however, that
some voted for License with the idea that
hotels or restaurants might be main
tanned as to be pleasant aud harmless
places of resort. OF course those Who
voted for Prohibition felt sure that no
such places could be kept under License
must not, however, close our ewes to the
fact that there are legitimate desires
along that line. for IA place OF social gath

the duty of those VINO wish the welfare
of the community not only TO prohibit
the sale OF strong drink but to exhibit a
practical Willingness To satisfy the legiti-
m ate WISHES especially of the young. In

no ueed or place Tor what Is ordinarily

ALMOST ALL ABOUT BLANKETS.
Will you read about blankets
if we give the utmost informa-
ton we can in the fewestpossibe
Words All sorts of blankets
no, not all sorts-there are tons
on tons of blankets that never
enter our doors because they
never ought to enter yours.
Blankets for use and blankets
for beauty and blankets for both.
Begin with the prettiest.
California takes the palm for
luxurious blankets; and Mission
Mills come first. The finest we
have from Mission Mills are SIS
a pair. Such wool! Imagine
Swan SHOWN not spun and
woven but somehow done into
blankets! Invisible texture
Wilderness and softness incon-
ceivable! Don buy them unless
for pure extravaganza. Think
of the case they require. But
Mission Mills make useful
blankets also, from very fine
indeed at SII.5O to-we don't
know where to draw the line.
OF these we have said already
the coarsest are finer than any
Eastern blankets, but not so
economical.
Golden Gate is another Cali
fornia blanket mill. 1t lacks the
singular fame of the other. Its
blankets are only less extrava-
giant. It's the California wool!
work too. Such wool demands
such work. 1t seems a pity to
put them into blankets. Andyet
there are people who are willing
to pay for them. $40 to $50.
Now for beautiful excellent
practical blankets not too fine to
enjoy. The finest such are made
in this city-the Falls of !Schuyl-
kill mill. Begin to think by the
pound; about SI.25 a pound for
the finest all-wool; not quite so
fine 81. Full-size blankets 50
to SI2.5o pair, according to
flneness and weight; and smaller
for less in proportion.
Another, made in New Eng
land, Atwood, not quite so fine,
a winning blanket the border is
uncommonly pretty about
S1.I2H a pound; $50, $3.50
and So. 50 a pair, according to
weight, for full-size blankets.
And here comes in an acct
dent: just one blanket, 79xoc
inches, 7lbs, So 50; about CSC a
pound, Atwood and as good as
the SI.I2H. We have only a
hundred and fifty pairs. When
gone no more.
