The somewhat sudden death of Alpha

degree OF sorrow and sadness seldom
felt, especially among his immediate
neighbors, where he has been long known
ana respected. His habits of life ALWAYS

triendly-lndeed, it is said he never had
an enemy. He died on the morning OF
the 10Th OF October at his residence in
Pownal, aged about rs years. He was

Whilst his immediate acoua,ntancas

there still remains gloom OF sadnes,
which is only relieved by the precious
faculty of memory which enables us to

THE ELECTION IN BENNINGTON

Tuesday dawned bright and clear, but
the haziness of the sky was a matter of
some solicitude, it clouding up towards
noon. However, the afternoon was
clear and warm, betokening Republi-
can day. The anxious inquiries oy tele-
graph proved the idea that a rainy
day would make thousands of votes less
for Harrison. 1t was found that in
some places there was rain and in 9TH
ers fair and smiling skies looked down
on the victory to be won. In this town
the polling OF votes progressed quietly
and the principal excitement was caus-
ed by the peddlers of tickets, each vie
ing with the other to distribute ballots.
The supply was more than the demand.
At 2 O'Clock there had been polled 500
votes with a probable decrease in the
Prohibition and Democratic votes. At
close of the polls there had been cast
1888 ballots, 637 for Harrison, 1903 for
Cleveland, and 90 for Fisk. Compared
with four years ago this is an excellent
record. Then the vote stood 555 for
Blaine, 407 for Cleveland, and % for st.
John. Total Republican gain OF plural
ity over 1884: 90. Below we give the

Down They Go.

Recognizing the popular demand for low
prices, we started in this season by making
the experiment of reducing the price OF
trousers, which we formerly sold for 81. so,
to $500.
As to the wisdom of such reduction,
our tremendous spring sale of S5 patterns
bears ample testimony, and now following
up on the heels of our success, we have de-
termined to venture corresponding reduc-
tion in price of the remainder of our stock,
and take pleasure in offering the public a
custom-made Scotch Cheviot Suit at the
unprecedented price of $50. We do not
slight these goods in getting them up, but
exercise the same care that we do with
every garment that leaves our store. All
we ask is simple examination. The
quality of the goods and workmanship will
stand OH their own merits.

Where They Were Born aud Other Facts
of Interest.
The father and mother of Lieutenant
General Philip II. Sheridan were born in
County Cavan, Ireland, came to the United
States in 1927 and to Ohio in 1882. The
father of the General was small sized
man. not weighing over 140 pounds. He
had gray eyes, light hair, fiorid skin, and
was socially inclined. He died several
years after the close Of the war. The
mother of the General is now nearly eighty
years of age and In frail health. She was
never robust in appearance, her stature
small, and her weight now will not exceed
ninety pounds: but she has, no doubt, ex-
ceeded 12s pounds in her younger years.
Her eyes are gray, keen and searching, her
utterance free and decisive, and there is
lurking in the expression vein of benevo-
lence, controlled by the most attractive dig
nifty. She lives in the home which the gen.
eral purchased for the family prior to the
war. In this house resides Mr.. John l..
Sheridan, his wife and two daughters, now
at school. When John l.. is absent at Fort
Supply, Indian Territory, servants are en-
ployed to care for the premises.
Mother Sheridan is provided with all that
heart can wish of this worlds store, and is
fortunate in the care and society Of her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. John l.. Sheridan.
Reports concerning the dangerous condition
of her son Phil are studiously kept from
Mother Sheridan, but she knows that he is
sick.
