WHY Vote It Straight.

In few days the election will be up
or us and every citizen who takes an
interest in the welfare Of the county
will be called upon to help select officers
for the coming two years. Every re-
publican should long ago have made up
his mind to vote the ticket straight,
but if he has not done so it is time he
decided the matter. 1t is a perennial
scheme of the democracy to pretend to
"trade off," to countenance.staying at
home and so giving both sides "a half
vote" and to in various other ways
induce the republicans to let
the polls alone on election day
while the democrats who never fail to
vote as early and often as possible are
on hand in full strength. Many pc
litical march has thus been stolen.
But this fall he will be indeed q
weakened specimen of humanity who
can be cajoled by any democratic adj
vice into aiding that party one iota. Ii
there was a single reason, a single
shadow of a reason, why a republican
should scratch his ticket it would be
different.
Just look at it.

TWO MOURNERs DISAGREED.
And 1t is Said that a Prize Fight Followed
the Funeral.

And 1t is Said that a Prize Fight Followed
the Funeral.
A story is being told on the Hill of a
prize fight which took place on West Side
avenue, near the Catholic cemetery, Sun
day afternoon.
1t seems that a member of the Hold Car
riers' Association was buried there, and
as usual there was a large attendance at
the funeral. All went well until the cor
tege entered the grounds, when two OF the
members became involved in a row.
The two foes, who were the biggest
men in the crowd, repaired to the out
side Of the cemetery and there stripped to
the waist, and then the fun began. The
majority of those who attended the body
to the grave non-attended the fight, and
a number of the toughs who were lounging
in the neighborhood added their presence
to the scene. The fighters did not observe
in the least the Marquis of Queensberry's
rules, but they each got in a blow every
time. Now one would go down, then the
other, and in a short time both men were
covered with blood.
Some one in the crowd became alarmed
and t~elephoned for the police, but mutual
friends succeeded in separating the men,
who went off with a 0 grace. II the
police reached the scene at all they found
the ground deserted. The names of the
men could not be learned. One man said
tha4 they fought five rounds while he
was there.

who lives up in Butler county. He is
paraly2ed from a sunstroke received
while on the march to Washington to
the grand review after the surrender
of Lee. Not a man could be found to
assist in proving his claim. All his
comrades Of the march were scattered
or dead. There was not a scrap of
paper of official record.

PROPOSAL ON SIGHT.
THE Go0D STORY OF MRS. GEORGE
S. KNIGHTS WILD WESTERN
EXPERIENCE.

-
A Handsome Miner Would Have Married
Her Perforce-The Ideal Female Fig
area Pension in Old Love Letters
Mrs. George S. Knights cottage at
Loeb Arbour is a rendezvous for all
the actors and actresses rusticating in
that vicinity. Rainy afternoons or
Sundays they amuse themselves and
each other relating their adventures
since last summer. AS during this
period many of them have travelled
thousands of miles, they have natur-
ally met with a variety of adventures.
AT their last meeting the ladies began
questioning each other as to offers of
marriage, and Mrs. Knight related
how she had received one.
When Mr.. Knight was taken with
what was supposed to be paresis, he
was in San Francisco and she was
here. He was determined h should
not know of his illness, and it was
weeks before she heard. Then a
bosom friend of hers, al actress out
there, telegraphed to her that he was
i'll and to go out at once. She lm1ne-
diately went down to enquire about
the first train leaving, and started
with scarcely an hours delay on b
Santa Fe road. When the train
reached Flagstaff, Arizona, a delay OF
twelve hours occurred owing to a
smash up on a train ahead.
Mrs. Knight is an inveterate tea
drinker, and after waiting a few
hours, decided on having a cup or
perishing in the attempt. The town
consisted of block of small build
s,o, h,,+ zI,o 1r,aa AA11 thof n china
man there would give her a cup.
Visions of everything dreadful crossed
her mind to interfere with her enter
ing his house, but she finally did SO,
and drank the best cup of tea she ever
had in her life.
While she was seated there the most
splendid looking young man h ever
saw came in. He was six feet two,
broad and OF herculean build. He
was in miners dress and wore W
pistols in his belt. He was what is
called full" but could walk quite
steadily. OF course he immediately
asked her all sorts of questions,
among others was she married. Mrs.
Knights tenderness for her absent i'll
husband made her at once say that
she was, and to the handsomest man
in the world, and that he was very Ill.
This decided matters, and the good
looking stranger Immediately drew
himself up and said
'tSee here. | am Jim Black. That
man will not live. Come at once and
marry me. You shall be looked after.
Have you any friends about?"
Mrs. Knight said she had not.
''Then YOU shall have somen-and
before she could think he galloped off
on his horse. 1t was not long before
he was back with quite a number OF
men and women, of the latter
being the wife of the editor of a news
paper out there. They told her that
Jim Black was a fine fellow and rich,
and that it would be the making OF
him to be married, as he would occa-
sionally go on sprees.
They were greatly puzzled by her
refusal to avail herself of the oppor-
tunity.

THE LORD KILLED THE OTHERS.
But the Christian Endeavor Society Sur
riund in Rernan Rantist Church.

But the Christian ~ndeavOr Society Sur
vived in Bergen Baptist Church.
The great convention in Philadelphia
last week has brought the Society OF
Christian Endeavor into temporary
prominence among church people. The
Rev. DIR. j. Ellison, of the Bergen Baptist
Church, was one of the visiting delegates
from this city. He talked with me about
the organization last evening.
"There should be a branch in each
church in the city," he said land | am
sorry for those who have none. The
Christian Endeavor Society is L of the
best things of the kind rel got up. | am
of the opinion that the branches that are
connected with the churches here are
doing much good, and are a great means
of usefulness. have heard some minis
tiers declare that they are of no use except
to draw the young people away from
church. That is not so. A branch To-
Gated in a church will draw the young
people together. Iknow nothing of them
outside of my own church, but we have a
fine branch.
'tT91ere are about seventy members IN it
and it is in a t~iourishing condition. 1t is
so constituted that the members take an
interest in it, and it unites the members
in a firm band together. The meetings
are interesting and the prayer meetings
are especially so. Before we organized
our branch we had a number of young
peoples societies, n the Lord killed
them all. A number of conversions have
already resulted from the branch.
''Too much cannot be said in favor OF
the society. | am heart and soul in the
whole movement. 1t is aggressive and it
will keep a church alive. Instead of in
jury to a church it is a great blessing. It
will grow and it will make the church
grow with it. The great point is to keep
the young people in the church, and this
society will do it.
1.-THE branches are all separate, and they
can at any time withdraw from the main
body, which has nc jurisdiction over
them. The pledge unites all, and will in
the end bring all the members inside

compounder of nauseous drugs; that
girl can get outside of more soda water
than any three girls in the High School.
She came in here on Saturday and on
a wager poured even glasses of the
stuff down her pretty throat in just
fifteen minutes. She drinks at least
two glasses of soda with vanilla flavor)

were lying in waiting toreceive them. All
these happy people were going to take adj

oh Yes, Here 1t Is .


Your correspondent was in one of these
gin mills when a young lad, eight or nine
years of age, entered with popcorn. He
was a bright, handsome little fellow, very
talkatiVe, and soon made known his bust
ness. The man behind the bar, a big,
coarse looking brute, offered to purchase
a dimes worth of his corn, provided the
little fellow would take his pay in drinks.
The boy told him that he did not drink
liquors.; that he gave his money to his
mother to help buy bread and clothes for
himself and a little sister three years
Younger than himself. The saloon maj
gave the boy ten cents, who started on his
way to the door. The bartender called
him back, and taking about three table
spoonfuls of Whiskey, sugar and hot
water. mixed it up, and prevailed upon
the boy to drink it, telling him 1t was
good for colds. In answer to the question
as to whether he liked it, the little blue
eyes sparkled as he answered You
bet" and departed. The fiend explained
his object by saying:-"You see, the pro-
hibition cranks and church fanaticsareail
doing all in their power to inJure us, and
unless we continue making drunkards of
the young, they will soon have them all
on their side. If that boy keeps On sell
ing corn and backing shoes on this side
of the river, it will not be three weeks
until he will buy drinks of me. They
learn easy when young" and he laughed
heartily. The blear-eyed scoundrel went
on to enumerate the many boys he had
taught to drink in the same way. one of
whom was the s~ix-year-old boy of a
widow at LeMars, Iowa. This one, he
said, he taught purely through spite. The
mother of the little fellow had prosecuted
him for selling liquor to her husband
prior to his death and he punished her by
teaching her child to like the taste of
liquor and at fourteen years he was a
confirmed drunkard and at seventeen he

MISERABLE ANNIE CAHILL.

Attempt at Suicide.

Arrested Again She Makes Another
Attempt at Suicide.
Annie Cahill, a slender blonde, with
some traces of good looks about her dissi-
pated face, was before Judge Stilsing
this morning.
Policeman Burns said that he found
her on Grove street last evening very
drunk and acting in a disorderly manner.
When he undertook to arrest her she
kicked and screamed and he was obliged
to procure a wagon in which to take her
to the station house.
When she was placed in a cell, the po-
lieeman says, she attempted to kill her
self. She was arrested about a week ago
on a similar charge, and then she tried to
hang herself with a ribbon she wore
around her neck.
She then claimed to be married, but
said this morning that she had separated
from her husband. When she was
searched last evening an open face silver
watch was found upon her. She told
Justice Stilsing that the watch was given
to her by a man who was in her company
last evening. She was held for further
examination.

Mhich Box Is to Blame?

Joseph Campbell, Edward Mcdonald,
Eugene Monahan and John Ryan. the
four boys who were arrested Sunday for
disorderly conduct, were before Justice
Sti1sing this morning.
Monahan's father was in Court and
said that there was a bad crowd of boys
in the neighborhood which worked the
growler and had led his boy astray.
Ryan, he declared, was a bad boy who
would not work. This declaration brought
Mrs. Ryan, who was present, to her feet
with an emphatic That's a lie." Justice
Stilsing quoted her and committed the
boys for further examination.
