THE Australian ballot law was elect d
Tuesday if nothing else was. The testl
mony as to the good it did everywhere
in keeping the political hummer away
from the polls and in securing to eacl
voter chance to vote in secret is universa!
Take Cincinnati, for instance. The news
from there on election day has for year:
been news of fights, of Elegant voting
and of other crimes more or less serious
than these. On Tuesday the town was
as quiet as country church yard, al
most. A ballot law that does thes'
things is a ballot law in favor OF the hon
est voter.

Tuesdays Elections.

The result of the elections Tuesday is
somewhat mixed. New York rounds out
its democracyin generous fashion, giving
us all the state officers and the senate
and assembly. Iowa has defeated the
farmer.republican, handshaking, letter
writing candidate and re-elects Boise
who at once becomes, to large number
OF western democrats, possible candi-
datefor the presidency. Russell, OF Mas
sachusetts, is elected for another term, a
deserved tribute to an administration of
state affairs above the average.
But Ohio fails to re.elect the best gov
ernor she has had for years, a man
courage, of sense, of high principle, All
indomitable worker. Gov. Campbell
had been tried and not found wanting
and should have been reelected tor an
other term. But the whole force OF the
republican party was thrown against
him. Mckinley was the chief exponent
of it's robber tariff, and a man of wide
reputation and high character; it would
not do to let him come to defeat in a
republican stronghold. We hope, how.
ever, that the democratic party will yet
have use for Gov. Campbell.
To the non-partisan voter the result in
Philadelphia is depressing. 1t is true the
state is ordinarily republican by very
heavy majority, and that here protection
takes its strongest stand, backed by al
most unlimited funds for campaign pur
poses. But the question IN this cam
paign was, to considerable extent, a
moral one; it was, to adopt in part the
language of the Philadelphia Times, a
question as to whether the voters o.
Pennsylvania would punish the demo
cratic party for being honest. The re-
publican party, it was proved, had not
for series of administrations, been hon
est. The psrty's officials had dragged
the fair name of the city in the dust. Men
high in the counsels of the party wert
smirched. Every effort was made up to
the very day Of election by state senator's
to defeat the ends Of justice and suppress
the truth. 1t was so completely proven
that the administration Of the affairs o
the city of Philadelphia by republicans
was rotten that the Ledger, the party:
faithful organ for generation, supported
the democratic ticket. And so we say
that when we find approval Of such a
state of affairs by American voters, pre-
sumably intelligent, the fast is depress
ing, much more so than in the case o.
Ohio, where we were beaten on political
issues.
Pennsylvania has gone wrong where
the issue was plain and the duty impera

DERIVING lien to the general mortgage
percent gold bonds indenture of the
company, dated Oct. 10, 1889,
which originated with the financial
reorganization of the company, and
for which provisions were made for
their redemption by the Union Trust
company of New York, as trustee of
general mortgage 4 per cent gold
bonds, of an adequate amount of sur
plus bonds the $9,000,O00 to provide
for the ultimate retirement of the gen.

Atchison company believe that with
the encouraging prospects of the pro-

to the company to defer the retire
ment of the guarantee fund notes two
years, or until Nov. l, 1898. The gen.
eral mortgage 4 per cent bonds, are
reserved to continue the trustee UNI
til the required time for the purpose
of such retirement.
The company now offers to the
holders of the guarantee fund mort
gage 6 per cent notes the right OF
such extension at par with a cash
commission of per cent, to be paid
by the company to such holders as
will signify their assent on or before
October 20, proXimo. The notes of
those holders who have not assented
to the extension by October 20 will be
acquired and paid for in full on or be-
fore November l by syndicate,
which will extend the notes on the
terms offered to the present holders.

Wednesday evening Charlie Boutwell,
and William Pickett, both IL years of
age, secured stick of dynamite to
kill fish at Rock creek ford, one mile
south of town. In making fuse the
boys took an old suspender, sewing it
together and making long tube.
One end they inserted into the stick
of dynamite and poured powder
in the other end until the
tube was filled. Charlie Boutwell, was
holding the dynamite ready to throw
it in the water as soon as the Picket
boy lit the fuse, which he proceeded
to do. Then a terrific explosion was
the result, knocking both boys to the
ground and tearing the right hand Of
Boutwell, off at the wrist and severely
decorating the hips and stomach of
the Pickett boy.
Both boys got up and walked q
quarter Of a mile to the home of
Boutwell,. When the doctor arrived

old MALARIA SUFFERERSl
Broken Down in Body and Spirit, Fa-
gerly Seeking Cure
Medicines That Only Damage-M Medicines
That Only Pslliate- Medicines
That Permanently Cure.
Selected from Lecture Delivered by DR..
Hartman, Of Columbus, Ohio.

need only to refer every one to
their own observation in malarial dis
eases to prove that the usual remedies
have not, as a matter of fact, been sue
cessful in curing them. Go to any
malarious section of the country and
you find its inhabitants takink regu-
larly enormous doses of the medicines
that are lauded as cures of these af-
fections, with little or no effect. The
various preparations of cinchona or
calisaya bark, known rs quinine, sui
phate of cinchona, sweet quinine and
tasteless quine, are taken with Won
derful persistency; with seemingly no
other effect than to depress the hearts
acSitn, lower the nervous vitality, and
produce most pernicious form of bill
iousnesss.
When travelling through the malar-
ial district it is often pitiful to see the
sallow, hOllow-eyed, listless, who-be-
gone victims industriously swallow
ing large doses of these harmful chem
zeal preparations, vainly hoping,
through them, to regain their health.
but rarely realizing their hopes. A
have much to say in favor of cinchona
bark in the treatment of malarious af-
lection, but these peculiar chemical
salts-quinine, etc.-which are OBJ
tanned from cinchona barks, by add
ing to them poisonous acids, can not
too strongly denounce as dangerous
drugs, which will inevitable produce
much worse condition of the system
than the disease for which they are
taken.
1t is almost an every day occur
renee in my practice that patient
comes to my Office to consult me who
has been treated for some form of ma
laria from one to ten years. The un-
fortunate victims have gone helpless
ly from doctor to doctor, taking of
each one about the same list of vege-
table and mineral poisons until,
broken in body and spirit, the
languidly begin to use my prescrip-
tions with hardly faith enough left to
take any more medicine. Pe-ru-na
is specific for this condition, but
generally find it necessary in such
cases to use, in addition to Pc
ru-na, few bottles of Man-a-lin to re-
store the action of the liver and bow
els, which hrve been deranged, as the
result of former treatment. In these
cases the Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin
should be taken as directed on the
bottles. Having continued the Man.
a-lin long enough to thoroughly regu-
late these organs, the Pe-ru-na is con-
tinued alone until cure is complete,
which is sure to occur unless some Sc
rious complication has set in before
the treatment was begun.

South Castle street. Mr.. Young, now
very old man, gave me some inter-
estlng recollections of the novelist:
my first recollection of Mr.. Haw-
thorne is of dark haired, retiring
and most gentlemanly looking man
who walked into my shop, and with
out a word to anybody or from any
one to him, proceeded to investigate
the books. In little time he took
from shelf an uncut copy of Don
Quixote,' in two volumes, illustrated
by Tony Johannot, asked me the
price, paid the money and requested
that the books be sent to Mr.. Haw-
thorne at the American consulate,
"Then he began coming almost
daily, after long time growing some
what familiar. He would INQUIRE
much about books, but usually more
for information than for purchase.

pool, wealthy dillitant, author of
THE English Flower Garden and the
intimate friend of the late Lord
Houghton Orchard Monckton Milnes)
to whom he introduced Hawthorne,
was his single warm friend and con-
fidant in England. They frequently
called together, and made use of a lit
tie nook in the rear Of the shop, in
which to examine and discuss books;

understood that Hawthorne was
customer of mine. He wished me to
ascertain if any portion of Transfer
nation was written in England, or
rather if the whole of it was not writ
ten in Italy; in which latter case he
would mercilessly republish it, in
defiance of the English COPYRIGHT,
giving as his reason that Americans
pirated the publications of his house,
and that he wished to serve any one
of them with the same sauce. | re-
fused the commission abruptly, and
shortly after, on again meeting Haw-
thorne, L mentioned the matter to
him. He seemed much amused and
said, Tell him the larger portions of
the book were written in Italy and
that q portion was written in England;
that they are pretty well mixed, but
he is welcome to find out which is
which if he can, and to republish
those portions which satisfy him."
"When the family finally left Eng
land Mr.. and Mrs. Hawthorne and, 1
think, Miss Una Hawthorne, called to
shake hands and say goodby. Haw-
thorne's personal appearance and de-
meanor very strongly reminded me of
