Her heart was light, and lighter his;

But Indoor Life Need
Not Be Dreaded.
Pains's Celery Compound Will
Give New Strength.
Aged and Infrm Must Look
Well To Their Health.
The Blood and Nerves Require
Nourishment.
Use of the Great Remedy That
Makes People Well.

The approaching winter offers many dan
gers to those whose powers of resistance
against disease are lessened.
Indoor life soon impoverishes the blood
and lowers the tone of the nervous system.
Then a slight exposure will easily precipi-
tate an enfeebled system into serious ill
ness.
The aged F- infrm must now look care
FULLY to tA-- health. Badly fed nerves
must have more abundant nutrition; the
blood requires nourishment. Patne's celery
compound, the remedy that makes people
well, should now be used.
Paine's celery compound gives new life
and energy to the system. 1t is food for
the brain, it strengthens the nerves, it
makes the weak strong.
Pafne's celery compound for many years
has met the frank, outspoken approval O
the most eminent physicians; they have
analysed it, discussed it at their meetings,
prescribed it and used it. tt Paine's celery
compound a host of men and women owe
their activity and freedom from sickness.
1t Keeps steadily at work the year round
IN the big cities and in the little villages,
bringing hope and gladness to thousands of
anxious homes where sickness is. 1t invig-
orates and strengthens, 1t makes people

Mathusiastic for stanton and Oscar

The German-Americsn Democratic
Club of the Fifth District, which had
arranged to hold a mass meeting at Ger
mania Hall last evening. was declared off
owing to the tact that the Young Mems
Democratic Club of the district had also
decided to hold q meeting last evening at
Schuetzen II II on Third street. The
Germania Hall was crowded with enthusi-
astic Germans when 1t was announced
that there would be no mass meeting,
and that the club, headed by q brass
band, would march to the young mems
meeting. As a result, the young mems
meeting was the largest and most enthusie
astic ever held in that vicinity.
Mr. James Murphy was elected chair,
man and Judge Henry Puster was the
frst speaker. After referring to the
unproven charges made by the ministers
against Stanton, he said:
The people of this county are request
ed to vote for Mr., Toffey because it is
said that he can interfere with the race
tracks. This, tellow-cirizens. Is sheer
nonsense. In 1880 a Republican Legis-
lature legalized horse racing in this
State, and it matters not whether Colonel
IOHey OF EDWARD n SHANNON Is elected
Sheriff, neither can interfere with or stop
horse racing at Gutenberg. In looking
over the records of the Republican
Sherifs in this State where there are race
tracks you will find that not one has ever
attempted to put a stop to horse racing.
They know better. They know that the
Republican Legislature has rendered
them powerless. Sheriff Stanton cannot
be looked o to stop the racing at Gutten-
berg. II he Is elected, and / am sure he
will be, he will full, ! his trust as he has
filled the Offices he has held in the past.
Show me the man who can find u flaw in
Stanton's record from his election as
constable to his denomination for the
highest Office in the gift Of the county, In
electing him you will do yeug duty as
honest citizens. acknowledgements, your
candidate has been weighed i n the
balance and not found wanting. With
him you can go before the honest voters
on election day and feel confident that Ii
they have investigated his record they
will give him their votes,n

Holmes, who is Mr.. Egan's opponent.
He was elected by 436 plurality last
year; but many of the elements which
then helped him now favor Mr.. Egan.
We predict a Democratic victory by
two or three hundred votes.
In the Fifth, MI. Krieg has a good
chance of winning. He was badly
handicapped at the outset, but he has
gained strength daily. 1t now looks
as If he would pull through by about
the same majority as Mr.. Ditmar, last
year, that is about 400.
In the Sixth, there is practically no
contest. T. j. Carroll will carry the
district by from 1000 to 1900 votes.
In the Seventh. chances favor Mr..
Carney, though his opponent. Mr..
Kerr, will get some Democratic sup
port. Down to the spring, the dis
trict WAC a sure Democratic one; but
under bob" Davis dict alton it was
lost to the Re publicans in the Free
holder contest. We hope to see it re-
deem ed this election.
The contest in the Eighth is odd.
DR.. Stout has not made any active
efforts, SO far as we can see. He has
not attended any Of the meetings,
and does not seem to be hustling at
all. But the Democratic district
leaders are making a strong light, and
everyone predicts a sure victory.
The Ninth district is almost as one
sided Is the Sixth. Mr.. Coyle has a
sure thing.
The Tenth is hardly doubtful. MI.
Meyers campaign has not been as
strong as might be wished, and
Colonel Erlenkoetter's has been that
of a veteran. But we do not think it
is Tin the wood" for the Colonel to
win. Mr.. Meyer will have a couple of
hundred plurality.
The Eleventh is like the Sixth and
Ninth. and the candidate is an excel
lent one. Mr.. Usher will be elected
by about 1000 plurality.
