OCT. 13-Aberdeen hasn't been. exempt from
the petty burglaries by which other parts OF
the county have been annoyed this summer
An attempt was made, last Tuesday night, to
blow open the safe at B. b. Barnes lumber
yard. The burglars drilled three holes in the
door, around the combination knob, but they
either bored too deep or their fuse was ineffi-
cient, for all the harm done was to blacken the
books and papers and fill the safe with smoke.
Between two and three o'clock Mr.. Charles B.
Osborn had occasion to 60 for q doctor when
he saw four men standing on the railroad plat
form. 1t is supposed they were the burglars.
Mr.. q. Harry Smith has resigned his position
as assistant agent at the B. and O., and has
taken charge of the freight Office of the same
road at Chester, Pa. He carries with him the
best wishes of many friends, who rejoice at his
promotion. MIR. w. B. Richardson has taken

Angel faces watch my pillow, angel voices haunt
And upon the wind OF midnight shining pinions
round me sweep;
floating downward on the starlight four bright in
They are mine my own bright darlngs, come from
heaven to visit me.
Earthly children smile upon me, but these little
ones above.
Were the first to stir the fountain of a mothers
deathleSS love;
And as now they watch my slumber, while their
soft eyes on me shine.
God forgive mortal yearning still to call His
angels mine.
Earthly children fondly call me- but no mortal
voice can seem
Sweet as those that whisper "Mother!'' mid the
glores of my dream;
Years will pass, and earthly prattlers cease, per
chance, to lisp my name,
But my babies accents will be evermore the same.

A favorite Republican campaign badge

ed American tin. These medals are inscrib-
ed: Mckinley and Protection. Made of
Ohio Steel and California Tin. Piqua, 1891"
Unfortunately for the cause Of protection and
the glory of American tin one of these medals
was submitted to chemical analysis in st.
Louis, the result being that instead of being
made of steel, it consisted of a rather inferior
grade of wrought-iron plate, covered with q
very thin coating of tin and lead alloy, in
which the lead largely predominated. Tin
of this kind, as every Gamer and worker in
tin knows, 10 not only fraudulent but deadly,
and Its use in the canned goods industry
would result in Wholesale poisoning. 1t is
merely another case Of false-pretence intend
ed for campaign purposes only.
