With a remnant stock of Fourth o.

very liberal bonfire of storo boxes
ETC., and some turpentine balls with
Republican small boys to keep then
in motion, they proved to the eye thai
Cleveland was elected. And with Q
brass band playing, anvils firing, the
crowd shouting-albeit the Harrisr
yells fairly overtopped those for Cleve
land-all in full blast while Messrs w
A. Grace and Chris Ritter attempted
to address a small crowd on the street
corner, the ear was equally well con
WINGED. The Demos. felt happy over
their victory, the Republicans felt good
| to see their Democratic friends happy
for once, and so contagious was the
good feeling that even the calamityites
trembling on the "verge," ETC., could
| hardly keep their faces stretched out
to the required length.
A worry distressing occurrence was
the accident which resulted in the
death on Saturday, Nov. IL, of Louis
Bliss, the thirteen-year-old son of Jas.
Bliss, of this place. On the lot back OF
Mr.. Bliss house near the cemerery,
was building used as depository for
powder. Las Saturday afternoon Lou
is went into the building to get some
powder, and heedlessly struck one OF
the kegs on the head with his Ratchet.
An explosion which was heard for q
great distance and which shook build
ings a quarter af mile away, was the
result. The boy was thrown through
the air to a distance of nearly hun
dred feet and was horribly burned and
mangled. Physicians were called in
but although the boy was conscious to
the last the wound was fatal, and he
passed away at $50 Saturday evening.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. A. S. Freed at the residence
on Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Newt Funston has had the
charitable custom of giving half
bushel of the finest potatoes he ca n
raise each fall to the poorest family he
can find. But this fall the political
excitement caused temporary abbera-
ton of Mr.. Funston's mind, and while
suffering from the hallucination that
Judge Arnold was going to be defeat
ed for Probate Judge he publicly an
toes to Judge Arnold with the under
standing that the latter should give
the potatoes to some other family If he
could find one poorer than his own.
The Judge wishes to inform Mr.. Funs-
ton with equal publicity that he does
not feel any poorer since the election
than he was before, and 80 he has
given the potatoes to Saline Washing
ton.

The exhibition of Chrysanthemum
at the G. A. r. Hall Tuesday was a
revelation in the way of beauty and
variety of flowers exhibited. Mr..
Harmon has shown q great deal Of
perseverance and public spirit in ar
ranging and carrying out these ex-
hibitions in the past few years, and
they should receive greater attention
from our flower raisers. Mr.. Harmon
exhibited nearly fifty varieties and
offered very liberal prizes for exhibits
and yet but one other exhibit was
made by anyone. Miss Abbie Ellis
was awarded the prize for the finest
floral design. The Doll Drill and
supper in the evening were well at
tended and very successful.

ing the day and second mass meet

Excellent speakers have been secured

Wheeler Mapes and John Hurley made . bet
to the effect that il Cleveland was elected Nr.
Mapes was to wheel John around the square
and if Harrison made il John was to perform
the same feat with Mr.. Mapes. As the election
was in favor of Cleveland John will have the
pleasure ride We hear that the show Is 10 come
off tomorrow Moran Heruld.
That settles it. The explanation Of
Harrison's defeat is sufficient. There's
in the name If Wheeler was
not destined by the Fates to wheel;
and if he was resolved not to wheel
unless Cleveland should be elected,
Harrison's election must haveresulted
in thwarting the DEGREES of those all
powerful arbirers of the Nations des-
tiny, the Fates.

Col. w. c. Jones was at home over
Sunday. He thinks the Republican
defeat for Governor was due simply to
the fact that Mr.. Lewelling is more
better educated and bet
ter dressed man than Mr.. Smith.
The Colonel says that the Republic
cans could have elected Marsh Muir
dock and saved the State. Col. Jones
has proved true prophet on almost
all subjects this year, and We must
