Anything to Catch Votes.


 Those who are managing the repub- lican canvass seem to be conscious that the party cannot win by sticking to it's avowed policy and openly ad- vocating it's declared principles. They are not planning a campaign of dis. cussion. and persuasion by which voters are to be won to the support of the ticket through enlightenment and con viction. They are not even counting upon the effect of parades and displays of enthusiasm to bring out full party vote. They are plotting and contriy- ing expedients to win the ignorant, the yenal and the self-seeking by cor rupt Inducements. They are devising methods to get votes by trick and de- vice, by bargains and dickers, rather than to win the support of voters by appeals to their intelligence and their conscience.

Abraham Lineoln's physician, the emi- nent Dr. Holland, who attended him iil his last moments, when the brave mans life was fast ebblng away, stated that it was not the direct result of the fatal shot of 'Boothn but the reduced physical coil- ditltion Of the president due to the enor- nous strain upon his nervous system, that If he had taken necessary precautions to have kept his Blood, Liver and Kidneys in sound and healthy condition, recov- cry would have been certain, and that the remedy he always recommended was He- patieure, the Great English Blood and Liver Tonic, as it is absolutely certain to cure all these troubles.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Noy. 1.-THE
Democrats of. Mountain View held a
| presidential celebration in the district
schoolhOuse at that place Tuesday night,

two kegs of powder exploded The re

who could ex'r'cate themselves set about
at once to rescue the others Shreks and
moaps came from the mass OF wrecked
timbers and it WAS evident that the ca
lamity was terrible one. The debris
took fire in several places and required
hard work to prevent the cremation of
the persons imprisoned. The flames were
subdued, however, with only one person
suffering from the fire. The son and
daughter of Silas Graham were taken out
dead, and Berry Sherod. one of the most
prominent residents of Washington
county, was so badly injured that he has
since died. Another man, whose name \
was not learned, was also fatally hurt.
Fifteen other persons were injured, but
their names were not ascertained. Berry

He Preferred Death.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 21-Pohewsh,
the sub chief of the Shoshone Indians,
convicted of manslaughter in the United
States court Friday evening, tried to kill
himself Saturday. After the night guard
closed the door, Pohewah broke the lamp
chimney in his cell; then with piece of
the glass about two inches long he cut
terrible cash In his throat and inflicted
other bad wounds. A prisoner In the sd-
joining cell had his eye to the keyhole
and saw the Indian, with blood stream
ing from three cuts, light cigarette and
place his back against the wall. Pohe-
wah was called, but refused to answer.
1t was two hours before the day guard
appeared. By that time the Indian was
unconscious and the bottom OF his cell
was covered with blood. At first the
surgeon said that the prisoner was dead,
failing to discern any heart actlon. Later
signs of life were detected, and the mur-
derer, though very weak, still lives. He
was impelled to make the attempt by
being told that his term IN the peniten-
tiary would be five years. Poheway says
that he could stand confinement for two
"snows," but no more. He understands
no English, and did not know that his
trial was ended. His squaw is now at his
side.

The Smallpox Scare.

SEATTLE, Nov. 1S-The prevalence OF
small pox in the Puget Sound country
has occasloned many wild rumors, but no
alarm has been manifested by the people,
as every precaution has been taken to
preveat further spread of the disease. 1t
appears that the disease first broke out
in the railroad camps along the Great
Northern line and was spread by men
coming to this city. Ali along the line
between here and the camps men have
been taken down with the disease. As
work in the railroad camps will be over
about the end of the month very strict
surveillance of persons coming from there
will be enforced hereafter. There are
eighteen cases in Seattle, all isolated In
the pest house. The houses from which
the cases came haYe all been quarantined
with all their occupants. George McLen
nan, railroad laborer, died at the pest
house yesterday. There is one case at
Snohomish, one at Lowell. one at Sultan,
and four at Index. all along the line by
which the railroad men came. At Fri
day Harbor, on San Joan Island, a single
case has caused great excitement. New
Westminster and Vancouver health au-
thorities, acting under instructions from
Provincial Health Officer Dawes, are in
specting all steamers from the Sound be-
fore they are allowed to land.
There Is but one case in the pest house
at Tacoma. No new cases have devel-
oped IN either of the two lodging houses
from which the case now In the pest
house. and the one who died we're taken.
The quarantine will be raised from these
houses Saturday aud Sunday If no new
cases develop in that time.

bad considerable to do with the cave in.
The work of rescue is under the direction
of Superintendent Edward Williams. A
correct list of the eutombed men is as
follows
John Relman, jr., single driver boy
Robert Stahler, miner, wife and two chill
dreD; John Ryan. miner. wife and four
children; Allen Hoffman, miner, widower,
with two children; Henry Martin, miner,
single; Frank Ryan, door boy, single; A.
Polander, single. All reside at Centralia,
and the deepest gloom has prevailed all
over the little town. This gloom was
turned to the widest kind of Joy a short
time before O'Clock by an announce
ment from the mine that the washing
away of case and dirt has progressed so
rapidly that the rescuers are enabled to
communicate with the imprisoned men.
Driver Boy Kellman acted as spokesman
and announced that all were uninjured
and well. waiting for the rescuers. They
were shut up in cave.in, and to this fact
is due their escape from instant death.

report that Secretary Tracy had granted
Lieutenant Peary three years. leave of

Prairie Fires Raging.

NEWPORT, Neb., Nov. 20-One of the
worst prairie fires that Rock county ever
witnessed started to-day while the wind
was blow1nga hurricane. The fire started
one mile east of Bassett, spreading three
or four miles in either direction and
sweeping every thing before 1t. The
damage at this writing is impossible to
estimate. The farmers, aided by 200
people, by hard fighting, saved thousands
of dollars worth of property. Several
families were compelled to seek fields,
lakes, wells and caves to cave their lives.
Four or five farmhouses, with barns and
granarles, were burned. AS near as can
be learned no lives were lost. The fire is
still burning IN u soutbwesterly direction.
