Even With the Lightning Rod Men.


4 gang of lightning rod sharks made
an attempt TO rod a farmers house
against his will Saturday, bat got the
worst of the bargain. The farmer is an
old soldier, living 10 miles south of this
city, named John Snyder. On Thurs
day one man called and inquired who
the owner was, got drink of water and
departed. The next day another called
and proposed TO make the farmer pres
emit of 100 feet of rod, charging him 10
cents a foot for 10 feet and charging him
extra for the necessary points, insisting
that the farmer sign a contract for the
balance. This he refused to do, and the
fellow left. Saturday two more men
drove up TO his place, threw out rods
and tools and proceeded to put up the
rods. The farmer objected, but they
claimed to have an order to do the work
and laughed him TO scorn. Snyder got
his gun, and covering the man in the
wagon, who had drawn a revolver, he
ordered him to clear out or he would let
daylight through him. The fellow drove
off at lively rate, leaving his pal at the
mercy of the farmer, who served him in
like manner, and now the farmer has 40
feet of lightning rods to sell.-Warsaw

lean FrIondIIneSs.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-Mr, Thomas F. Bay
ard, the United States ambassador, at
tended banquet given by the cutters
OF Sheffield in that city last night. Mr.
Bayard sat to the right OF the master
cutler. Replying to toast to his health
which followed toast to the cabinet,
Mr.. Bayard referred eloquently to the
history OF the cutters and their ancient
usefulness. and said that the honorable
traditions OF the past created respect
for the present. while it also entaled
responsibility for the future. When a
man like himself came to England he
came to take up his share with the
Englshmen Of the honorable traditions
OF the English people. America did
not begrudge England her prosperity,
and the flags Of the United states and
Great Britain would continue TO hoatt
in unity. This sentiment was greeted
with great enthusiasm.

Thirteen states will on Tuesday next
struggle in the throes OF elections that
are OF greater or less importance. In
only one Of them-Ohio-is there any
thing like national issue, and there
Mckinley will do battle for protection
against Neal, the author OF the free
trade plank in the Democratic plat
form. Politically that will be the
most interesting struggle, but it does
not give promise OF the warmth which
will surely result from the friction in
New York. There the issue is moro
more moral than partisan, and
although Democratic success is gener-
ally assured, it may be that Maynard,
the Democratic nominee for Judge Of
the court OF appeals, will experience de.
feat. The campaign in Iowa is also in
teresting, for Governor Boies seeks
election for the third time, under con.
ditions that are barely limited at by the
term Complicated. The other states
concerned in the balloting that takes
place on Tuesday are Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Massa.
chusetts. Kentucky. Missouri. Ne.
braska, Wisconsin and South Dakota.
1t is not expected that any influences
other than those OF the personal sort
will prevail except in the Buckeye
state, and there the campaign is the
o!d-fashioned variety, with present
chances favorable to Governor Nc
