Motor Keely Is free.

The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania,
Chief Justice Paxson writing the opinion,
yesterday released John W. Kelly OF
motor fame, from jail. The opinion re-

An Awkward Predicament.

1t was w awkward dilemma that the
return judges Of election found them
selves in here on Thursday when they
met to ,ununce the official returns of
the county. The trouble was with the
Fifth, Sixth and Eighth district returns.
Many Thought at one time that the re-
turns from these districts would have to
be thrown ont. Tue election law requires
they be placed in the box, with "a copy of
the poll book and tally Sheet and that
the box bc then locked and NOS opened
un'er any circumstances except in case
of a contest for six months.
A copy OF the poll-book, Que OF the
tally-she cts and certificate of the cleo
ton must be kept outside and submitted
to the board of return judges. In the
fifth, or North East district, aud sixth, or
Rising Sun district, the judges placed
both poll books, tally sheets and certifi-
Gates in the boxes, and had nothing what
ever to Sow for the election. In the
eighth, or Mount Pleasant district, both
tally-sheets ard certificates were placed
in the box, and the judge kept the two
poll books, which in no wire indicated the
result. The judges were afraid to open
the ballot-boxes to get the tally sheets,
etc., in the face of the law forbidding it,
and could not had they wished to do so,
as the keys are in the possession of the
minority judges in each district, who are
required by law to deliver them to the
clerk of the Circuit Court Thursday. The
judges sent for the States attorney who
was absent, and then secured the advice
of VIM. J. Jones ard Clinton Mccullough.
The difficulty was got around by the
lawyers deciding that the judges could
certify to returns copied on tickets from
the tally sheets, if they were satisfied
that these were correct. This was in the
case of the fifth and sixth districts In
the eighth a telegram received by pri-
vate individual Was taken. In the latter
district the prohibitionists were credited
with no votes as the telegram did not
give the prohibition vote. The returns
show that each prohibition candidate Ie-
ceived one vote in that district.

A False Impression.

A false impression prevails with many
persons that the Democrats made large
gain in the Third or Elkton district last
Tuesday.
The official figures conclusively show
that the Repu olicans not only did not
lose but actual made gain. 1t is &C.
knowledged by all that the party strength
is shown by the vote for state officers.
A Comptroller of the Treasury was the
only state officer elected on Tuesday.
Baughman's plurality over Wellington
in the Elkton district was 202. Two
years ago when Baughman was elected
to the same office over Dixon his plurali
ty was 221, showing Republican gain
in the district of 10 votes.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes yen cough
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing yoEr throat, arises from catarrh,
and as catarrh is constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to hit
the spot. What you need is constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many
people who have taken this medicine for
scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and
other troubles, have been surprised that it
should cure this troublesome cough. But to
know the actual cause of the cough is to
solve the mystery. Many cases of consump-
ton can be traced back to he neglect OF
some such slight affection as this Con.
sumption can be controlled in its early
stages, and the fleet of Hoods Sarsaparilla
in purifying the blood, building up the gen
eral health, and expellng the scrofulous
faint which is the cause of caiarrh and con
sumption, Ii Is Restored to I, II,rt health

seemed to have a firm hold.
