SIZE Had HER WISH.

The county house wagon drew up at
the old farmhouse door in the early
morning light and the poor over-seer got
out and knocked on the door with the
butt end of his whip.
"Hey," quivered thin voice within,
"who's there?"
We've come for ye, MOTHER" said the
overseer.
"Who calls me mother?' asked the
tremulous voice, and then the door was
opened by shaky hand and an old wom-
an dressed in shawl and hood, stood in
the doorway"

The man on the doorstep coughed and
turned away, pretending to examine the
wisteria vine that blossomed over the
door, Not for worlds would he have
told her that he was only carrying out
Jim's orders against the time he should
bring his wife to the old farmhouse.
She came out slowly, looking with
vague, wondering eyes at all she was
leaving; the trees she and Harvey-that
was her husband-had planted when
they were young, at the bed of CHINA

CLOSING THE CAMPAIGN.
The Republicans Have a Parade and
a Big Meeting.
Candidates Address the People at the
Old PaviIion-NIr. Hart on
the Senatorship.

The Republicans closed their campaign
Saturday night with a torch-light pro-
cession and big meeting at their head
quarters in the old Pavilion.
The windup was a success from one end
to the other
The various uniformed clubs formed in
line at Sixth and NJ streets under the di-
rection of Grand Marshal William B.
Miller and Chief Aid Arthur Bulger, and
shortly after O'Clock began the march.
The Grand Marshal and his aids headed
the line with the First Artillery Band.
Then came the Columbia Club marching
like army men and looking ''out O. sight,
in their handsome uniforms. The Colum-
bias were out in good numbers, and Com
mander Sherburn was proud of them.
After them came the various city and
county candidates on foot, followed by
the Resolutes. The latter club, as usual,
made hit with their fiambeau torches,
campaign yell, dashing uniforms and fine
marching.
Following the Resolutes came the
Howard Club, cheering at every step for
their champion, NJ. a. Howard, candi-
date for Supervisor of the Third District.
They, too, We're out in force. The Fire
Brigade brought up in the rear with their
decorated hosecart. The laddies were not
out in as large numbers as on previous
occasions. They went to Dixon Friday
night and many of them were tired.
The line of march was up Sixth to X,
to Tenth, to j, to Second, to X, to Sew
enth, to M, and thence to the Pavilion.
There was an unusual amount of enthu-
siasm, and plenty OF fireworks and red
fire all along the line. The sidewalks were
densely crowded wherever the process
sion passed, and the people had good
word for the boys at every block.

DEMOCRATS GET LEFT.
They Could Not Have Their Open-A
Meeting.

They Could Not Have Their Open-Afr
Meeting.
The Democratic candidates had made
preparations to have big open-air meet
ing at the corner of Fourth and X streets
on Saturday night, and to have it in full
blast when the Republican parade came
along. They announced the meeting in
the newspapers. and thought they had ar
ranged with the managers of the Peoples
party to use the latter's rostrum, which
has been located at the corner mentioned
since the campaign opened.
But the Peoples party folks thought
the matter over, and came to the conclu-
sion that Saturday night would be a
pretty good time for a meeting of their
own, so at the last moment they refused
to let the Democratic orators have the
stand. Here was a pretty how-do-you-
do. 1t was useless for the Democrats to
take another corner, as the crowd would,
in obedience to the announcements, seek
the corner of Fourth and X. They could
not run an opposition meeting across the
street, because they had no platform, and,
besides, soap fakir had pre-empted that
location.
All there was to do was to kick them
selves and have no meeting.
The Peoples party meeting profited by
the attendance brought there by the ad-
vertisements paid for with Democratic
money, and made hay while the sun
shone-or, rather, while the moon shone.
They "fired" their doctrines broadside
after broadside into the mob. Their
speakers were DR.. Caples, c. A. Jenkins
and j. d. Moynahan.

What They Are Good For.

Brandreth's Pills are the best medicine
known.
First-They are purely vegetable. in
fact medicated food.
Second-The same dose always pro-
duces the same effect; other purgatives
require increased doses and finally cease
acting.
Third-They purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other deprayed
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eve
bright, the mind active, digestion is re-
stored, costiveness cured, the animal
vigor is recruited and all decay arrested.
