take care Of ourselves and our Gus
toners on BOOTS and SHOES as
we are at this present time. We

son when the work-peoplc were not

Democrats can do is to cast their ballots
for Walter S. Springer.

Walter S. Springer is 50 situated in his
business engagem ents that it has been i'm
possible for him 10 make a personal eau
vass for votes. But the people who are
voting the Prohibition ticket are not those
who need to be waited on, hat in hand, be-
fore they give their support to a candidate
representing their views Mr.. Springers S
acceptance of the nomination should be a
sufficient request to all temperance men to
cast their ballots for him.

FEW LAST WORDS.
Before another issne of onr yario9s pa.
pers shall reach our readers the election
will. have passed. Permit MS once more
to call the attention of eur workers 10 a
few important points
FALSE REPORTS.
For the last few days of the campaign
the air will b, thcl, with falsehoods so in
geniously compiled as to deceive the very
elect. If the death of General Fisk is tel
egraphed all over the union, let no one be
disturbed. General Fisl, wilrundoubtedly
live after this campaign closes and even
were he dead we can still support the Pro-
hibltion electoral ticket.
Judging the future by the past it would
not be strange il a forged edition OF The
JIoiee, filled with excellent Prohibition
matter, but containing an editorial an
nouncing the eleventh hour conversion of
the editor to some other political faith,
were to turn mp IN great numbers all oyer
the country on the morning of November
9th. Let np Prohibtionist be either de
ceived or disturbed by forgery aud fraud,
Our candidates will stand and nur pres s
and our leaders are loyal.
FALSE COUNT.
We know whereof we speak. We are
not talking al random when we affirm that
most diabolical and systematic efl.rt is
To be made not to couut MS ont entirely,
but to.count MS down to something like
our vote of 1884 It. wlll require eternal
vigilance, persistence, pluck and courage
to secure the honest count of the Prohibit
tion vote Let poll workers aud watchers
of the count be everywhere selected froin
our truest and brayest and best.
PAIRING.
Scarcely voting precint can be found
in which there are not almost persuaded"
Democrats and Republicans. Iudicious
work by the right man will usually sue
cecd in persuading an aim 9st decided Re-
publican to pair with 4 Democrat Of SINH
lar views, both voting our ticket and yet
producing no change in the relative
strength of the parties from which they
come. Do not dcspise the day of small
things. a single pair" of this sort at
every voting precinct will add thousands
to our aggregate vote.
IL GENERAL.
Make day of it. Abandon business.
Give all the day and as much of the night
as may be necessary to the task Of seeing
that every Prohibition vote is early cast
and honestly counted. This Committee
rencws it's offer of 800 reward for the con-
viction of any person who shall fraudulent
ly count or return the Prohibition vote.
REPORT TIE RESULT.
AS early as possible, let state and nation
al headquarters be notified of the number
of votes cast in your precinct ana county.

1t is going to go hard with somebody to
be defeated next week. Blaine says if the
Republican party is defeated it will stay
defeated for this generation. They wont
like it We are sure. And how about the
Democrats who for four years have enjoy
cd the sweets of office aad have barely be-
gun to get warm in their seats and feel
comfortable in their very hungry and
very thirsty" stomachs. How will they
relish being turned out again upon the
cold charities Of the world if Harrison and
Morton get there. > We can only say in
the language of Chairman Dickie. Vote
the Prohibition ticket, regardless
The true position of P rohbitionists is as
citizens to accept aud enforce in the inter-
est OF temperance any and all laws found
on the statute books, in so far as the inter
ests of temperance can be served. If
Republican or Democratic majority passes
law on the liquor question and there is
any good in it, the Prohbitionist will go
as far as any in seeking and using the
good. 1t is the best lie has and the best he
can do. But as voter he W ill have no SYM
pathy with, and lend no assistance to, any
party which stands committed to any pol
icy short of the absolute prohibition Of the
rum traffic. If the other parties choose to
adopt measures short of this that is their
lookout. They must not expect the aid of
Prohibitionists either to bring them into
being or to keep them alive.

some means the brake chain OF the car was
broken and the car started to run down the
grade. The further it went the greater
velocity it attained, and when it reached
No 8 trestle, it was running at a very high
rate Of speed, and caught gang of railroad
hands who were pushing hand car across
the trestle. These men were unable to get
out of the way. and the fiat car dashed
into them, killing colored man named
Philip Anderson, of Henry county, Va,

The boss slipped between the ties to the
ground, escaping without much injury
but having very close call, as his hat was
torn into pieces by the car. Another man
jumped off the trestle. and in 30 doing
broke one of his arms. The car jumped of
the trestle and was completely wrecked.

SAD ACCIDENT.

A Bright Little Boy Drowned at the Mouth
OF Caldwell's Ron.
A sad drowning accident occurred on
the South Side, about half-past three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the victim be-
ing Louis Prettyman, the nine-year-old
son of Mr.. George Prettyman, an employe
of the Schmulbach brewery, who resides
on McColloch street, near Twenty-ninth.
Louis, together with several other boys
about his own age, were in bathing during
the afternoon, near the mouth of Cald-
wells run. The lads were having great
sport in the water, and no one had a
thought of danger. Suddenly. young
Prettyman sank out of sight, and must

Signs That the Republican Senators Intend
to Delay Action.
WASHINGTON, July s-Senators Cul-
lom and Farwell have both returned, and
interest in the Fuller nomination is much
increased. There seems to be authority
for the story that Mr.. Cullom has changed
his mind on the subject Of the nomination
since it WAS made. 1t is the general belief
here that he will vote against confirmation.
But Mr.. Farwell remains true to Mr.. Full
Ter, and says he will certainly be confirmed.
He predicts that IN addition to his own
Farwelps vote) Mr.. Fuller will receive
the votes of at least three other Republican
Senators. 1t will probably be disclosed
at the next executive session of the
Senate whether or lot the Republicans
intend to pursue policy of delay with
regard to the matter.
