NO APATHY HERE.
Young America and Schoolma'am Very
Much in Politics.

DoYLEsTowN. Pa, November 2.-The
politicians and citizens generally of Me-
chanicsville, four miles from this place,
are aroused over the recent action of the
teacher at Lyso Hall School, just out
side of the village. Miss Lizzie S. Beans
young lady about 20 years of age,
daughter of Henry Beans, well known
Democratic politician of that neighbor-
hood, is the teacher. and her partisan
feeling seems to have overbalanced her
discretion. One day last week number
of the boys of the school erected Har-
rison pole near the school house, and
few days later Harrison and Reid flag
was hoisted at the top, and the boys en-
joyed royal time over the event at the
clos of the school, the district being
Republican by large majority.
On Friday morning, however, the pole
was lying upon the ground, chopped in
three pieces, the work having been done
some time between the closing of the
school on Thursday evening and Friday
morning. 1t is charged that Miss Beans,
assisted by an aunt and cousin, were the
persons who felled the pole, and the
young lady does not deny it. Neither
does her cousin, whom she visited on
Saturday, and who advised her to re-
place the pole and open school as usual
next Monday morning.
The most serious action taken by the
young teacher, however, was on Friday
morning, when upon the assembling Of
the school she requested all the scholars
who were determined to cheer for Harri-
son while about the school property to
stand up, A number of them iromptly
arose to their feet, when Miss Beans or
dered them to get their wraps and go
home The parents of the children
were wroth over the partisan attitude as
sumed by Miss Beans, and as the school
board is Republican, there may be an in
teresting time in store for the Demo-
cratic young lady.

David Chases No Rainbows.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, November p
Senator David B. Hill spoke last night
before large assemblage of Democrats.
In his speech he said, speaking of Cleve-
land and Stevenson:
e'Never were standard bearers selected
more fit to bear in triumph the Demo-
cratic banner
But right on the heels of this he said:
'sThere should not be too much conf
dence or too much reliance placed in the
vote cast at the gubernatorial election.
1t is true we have carried the state for
our state tickets every year for the last
seven years, and last fall we carried it by
80, 900 majority; but we must recollect
that last year the total vote cast was
157, ,256 less than that polled in 1888. The
Republicans seem to possess a reserved
strength in Presidential elections, which
they exhibit at no other election, and
which requires our greatest efforts to
overcome.

OBITUARY.
Albion s. Milliken.

Albion S. Milliken died at East Hiram,
October 2sth, of internal paralysis, aged
about 3s years. He was an honorable
and useful citizen, and will be missed in
business circles, especially in The corn
canning industry, to which his effects had
been mainly directed for some years.
He was worthy member of the I'M
proved Order of Red Men, of Mechanic
Falls, and the Knights of Pyhias Of Hi
ram. The Knights of Pythias performed
their last rites over his remains at his
home, on Monday morning. His remains
were then taken to Scarborough to be
buried with his kindred. He leaves a
widow and three children, who will re-
ceive $4,000 from life insurance and sew
eral relief investments.

BEATEN BY THEIR OWN FIGURES.

Democrats in Indiana Already in the
Gloom of Defeat.
INDIANAPOLIS, November "A pail Of
despair has settled over Democratic
state headqu rters. The leaders. some
days ago, instructed the Democrats in
charge of the school district organiza-
tions to make careful canvass of their
respective districts and to report the re-
suit to state headquarters.
All the figures, save from half dozen
scattering districts, were received on
Monday morning When they were
added up the totals showed that, even on
Democratic figures, the Republicans
would carry the state by over 1000 plural
ity.
The only hope of the demoralized
Democracy is that the 100000 sent from
national headquarters may be so ex-
pended as to stem the counter tide.
Their leaders say that the $50, 600 is only
the first installmen5 of ssboodle'' from
New York city.
There can be no doubt that it was the
result of the Democratic canvass that
led the Cincinnati Enquirer to virtually
admit Democratic defeat in it's editorial
wall of Saturday last.

An Eyesore Removed.

GARDINER, November 2.-The Centen-
NAL ice houses at Randolph were burned
to the ground early this morning. The
loss is about "a, 500, with no insurance.
The buildings, which were empty, had a
capacity of 10000 tons, and were situa-
ted on the river front of the town and di-
rectly opposite Gardiner. They had been
an eyesore to both communities for 20
years, hav ng been filed but twice in
that period.
Steamer Kennebec had a marrow es-
cape, being hauled upa pier nearly
abreast of the houses. Buta favorable
wind saved her with slight scorching.
Tramps are supposed to have caused the
fire.

Fred Emery Beane's Grand Scheme to
Maine Maine Democratic.
AUGUSTA, November 2.-The follow
ing is copy of the circular sent to Dem
ocrats in every city and town by Secre-
tarv Beane of the state committee:
HALLowELL, Oct. 20, 1892.
My Dear Sir:-Our national election is close
at hand and once more it is in our power to win
a victory, even a greater one than we won IN
September. Grover Cleveland will be our next
President and Maine Democrats, after the
grand results obtained in our state electlon
should make every effort possible, to achieve
even greater things on November 8th The
national leaders of our grand old party were
more than pleased with our work, and nave SO
expressed themselves. Let us show them we
can do even better still. We have no money
with which to aid our cause and all work from
now out must be done personally and for the
love we have for Democracy
My plan is this, call your committee together,
divide your voters into classes of ten and find a
working Democrat who will pledge his word to
have each one of the ten at the polls on cleo
ton day. If you will do this it means 10000
Democratic votes November Sth, and that Will
assure six electoral votes for Cleveland and
Stevenson. Will you work this once with the
rest of us and share in the victory sure to fol-
low.
Confident OF success. am,

The journal today received the follow
ing special from Des Moines, Ia: sThe
details of the selling out of the third
party Prohibitionists to the Democrats
have been made public here and have
created sensation. The Democrats paid
$500 to the chairman of the state central
committee. This money was used to
boom the third party, the object being to
draw as many votes from the Republican
ticket as possible. The Prohibitionists,
who have been sincere, are very much
stirred up and many of them are openly
Republican, repudiating the third party
leadership.

whether Mr.. Harrison is reelected or
not. He has formed law partnership
in this city and will move back here

Says He Is Sorry Only for His Wife.
NEW YORK, November 2.-Charles A.
Howes, who says he is graduate OF the
State University Of Washington and a
civil engineer by profession, was today
held for examination charged with forge
ry. Howes is only 2S years old. He
confessed to Inspector Mclaughlin that
during the past two and half years he
has passed forged checks aggregating
more athan $4,000. He has operated
from New Hampshire to Texas.
Howes married less than three years
ago girl who was also graduated from
the State University of Washington.
She has travelled all over the country
with him, and Howes says that she
knows nothing about his forgeries. She
thought that he was supporting her by
his work as civil engineer, and that his
frequent moves from one state to anoth-
er were at the call of his profession.
Mrs. Howes is now in Yonkers, where
she and her husband have been living for
several weeks. When Howes was arrest
ed he told Inspec or McLaughlin that his
only
Regret Was for His Wife.
''She doesn't know that am forger, y
he said, 'sand it will be hard blow. AS
for myself-well, / have simply been
waiting to get caught. l have done moth
ing but forge paper for the past eighteen
months. It's relief to know that it is
over
Howes is of good appearance. He is
six feet in height, strongly built, with
ruddy face, full, dark brown beard,
and a mustache. He dresses well, and
he has spent money freely and lived at
the best hotels. He says that he has
used as aliases the names of G.. A. Field
and John 3. Hall. Most of his checks
have been for amounts of about $500,
and he has cashed them at the banks in
towns where he was staying.
Howes says that after his marriage he
went to Gray's Harbor, Wash, and
started in the real estate business. He
remained there until February. 1891, but
he lost all the money he made by
Gambling in Tacoma.
Howes then began to write few checks
as an experiment. He went to the Den
yer Lithographing Company, and, repre-
senting himself to be d. J. Wakefield,
cashier of the bank of Elmer, Wash, he
| had drafts on the bank printed.
He paid the lithographing company
with bogus draft, and used the drafts
for six or seven months with success.
Howes said he could remember only a
few of the banks that he had swindled
by his forgeries.
Howe has recently been operating in
New Hampshire and his order to hotel
keeper to send his valise to New York
led to his Identification and arrested.

A cold is not the simple thing most people

similar troubles, - these conditions favor
taking cold, and pave the way for serious
ills.
The way to avoid taking cold is to keep
well. If you are perfectly we'll it is simply
impossible to take cold or to contract conta-
gious diseases.
There is one safe way to avoid colds and
tc preserve health, and that'l5, to take HID

When vou detect the first symptoms of a
cold. such as sneezing, dull pressure about
the brain, a feeling OF weakness, of lassi-
tude, you will find this remedy the perfect

bowels. regulates the action of the rA.trs,
frees the lungs of poisonous deposits, cEea-.
