A Novel EIOpement.

Jasper V. Yates and Maud 5.
Ward, of Upton, KY, fancied that
life would be a blank if they could
not become man and wife, and the
parents Of the latter thought that
life would be a blank to both young
people if they were permitted to
marry. Consequently, strenuous
objection to the match was filed by
the Obdurate parents. Last We'd
nesday the father of the want tO.be
bride was somewhat astOnished to
see the young man drive up to the
house in "a huckster wagon, in the
rear OF which was a chicken coop.
While the hopeful suitOr proceeded
to interview the old gentleman with
a view to securing the daughters
hand in marriage, the latter slipped
out to the wagon and climbed into
the chicken coop unObserved. The
usual answer was returned by the
angry father, who also threatened
to kick the young man over the
fence, but this he did not do, per-
maps because the latter was six
inches the taller, besides having an
arm that might have been mistaken
for Sullivan'S. Apparently much
detected the young man clambered
into the wagon again and started
off. In q short time the girls ab.
sence was discovered, and an eX-
citing chase took part. Pistol balls
whistled through the huckSter
wagon, but they only had the effect
of acceleratlng the speed OF the
horses. Reaching the depot at
Nolan they abandoned the wagon
and boarded the cars. The pur.
suers reached the platform just as
the train got under Roadway, but
the expectant groom explained
matters to the conductor, and no
amount of signals had the effect of
stopping the train.

WHEELING, w, VA, Oct. 10
Michael Freismuth started two
homing pigeons for Wichita, Kan
sas, last evening to test their quail
ties. One of them arrived yester-
day afternoon in fifty-four hours
and four minutes after their release.
The distance is twelve hundred
miles. The actual flying time is
thought to have been twenty-four
hours, the birds making fifty-nine
miles an hour on the wing. The
record is one of the best ever made.
A good deal of money changed
hands on the result. The bird is
year and o half old, and half En-
lish and half Belgium stock. One
hundred dollars has been refused
for her.

Are You willing to change q sys'
tenn of tariff which for twenty years
has given us unprecedented pros
perity; which has built up extern
sive iron and cotton manufactures
in the North and South; which
has gwen remunerative employ
ment for the honest labor of nearly
four million operatives, thus sup
porting at least fifteen millions OF
our citizens; which has driven out
of our markets English and other
foreign monopolIsts, thus providing
for the introduction of our own
manufactured articles, which, by
enabling our home manufacturers
to compete with foreign manufact-
urers, has reduced the price OF all
manufactured articles, which has
enabled manufacturers topay living
wages to the men who work IN
mines, and furnaces, and rolling
mills, and cotton factories; which
elevates the American laborer
above the degradation and misery
of the pauper labor of Europe, and
which in every way has contribut-
ed to the prosperity and happiness
of our whole country and people
Are you willing to throw away all
these blessings simply to please a
few theorists who can offer, as the
reason why you should make the
change, only theory and idle spec
ulation, and who cannot deny that
no material reduction in tariff rates
has ever been made in the United
States that has not been followed
by financial panic and Distress

How they used 10 Vote.

Mr.. James Bond, Clerk Of the
Superior Court, unearthed an old
report yesterday from the musty
and dusty archives Of the Record
Office, which shows how elections
we're conducted in the olden time.
The report was that OF the commits
sioners, Messrs. Thomas Elliott,
David McMechin, David Williams,
Thomas Cole and Richard Cation,
appointed to conduct an election
for a member of Congress from the
Fifth district of Maryland, in 1898.
The candidates were Gen. Sam
Smith and - Winchester, and
the polls were open from the LIST 10
the 18th of October. Every voters
name appeared in the return of the
commissioners, and the check after
each name shows for whom their
vote was cast. This was an eaec.
tUal bar against any fraud, as a
reference to the report would show
to any voter just how his vote was
recorded. All through the report,
also, are marginal notes against
certain names, showing objections
to their vote, on the ground OF
property qualification, refusal to
swear to same, age, &c. One OBJ
lection was that the voter had not
been born free. Several of the
names were marked cont Of town,
and the names were not voted on,
either. The commissioners footed
up the returns each day and when
any recess was taken during the
day. At the close, the reports
states that the "polls finally closed
by consent of the parties at ten
minutes past six. Signed, i H.
Moale, secretary. The polls at the
close stood F; Smith, l,322; Win
chester, 9O1."-BdH. ImcricdR.

they are the result Of former ma
administration of the republican

"let out the significant fact that

endorsed by Mr.. Walker, shows
that this statement was and is false.

coming a candidate after the con-
