A Rooster That Could Swim

Who has ever heard of chicken that
could swim, that preferred swimming
to walking? There are some seeming
contradictions in the world of nature;
for example, the cat that shrinks from
wetting even her velvety soles is driven
to distraction by the smell of fish, for
very love of it. And great scrawny
rooster, that never should be 30 much
as seen taking bath except in nice,
dry, dusty place in the road or ashheap,
deliberately walking into a pond of
water and swimming across it is queer
sight indeed.
Yet that is what anybody may have
seen last summer at the mill pond on
q little stream called Baker Brook,
which flows into the River st. John
just beyond the border of Maine, in
Canada.
He was big fellow, dignified and
important from the top of his flaming
comb to the tips of the stiff feathers
that grew at right angles to his feet,
like wings, or "pantaloons. He had
always taken his bath in the dust heap
until he grew old enough to lead his
! charge of hens far away from home,
about the more distant fields, even be-

EIGHTH DISTRICT.

Farmers are done sowing wheat, and
are now taking advantage of the fine
weather to gather their corn. Every
thing is plentiful in the district except
money and Democrats. The Democrats
are all dead. We have not seen but
very few since hard times begun, but
we can hear and see their effects. For
instance we hear of corn, chickens and
wheat being taken almost every week.
This is all caused by ignorant voters.
The people are very lonesome in this
community since the Embree Vile train
stopped running. More Democratic
work. We long for the time to come
when we can roll up grand majority
for Brownlow for Congress. As we
think he is the man. The schools are
better in this section, than we have had
for several years las q whole Every
thing in perfeot harmony. The school
commissioners of this district, in order
to advance the school interests, called
a meeting of the teachers to meet at
Greenwood Institute, Oct. 81. All the
teachers responded. The meeting was
opened by talk from Mr.. Frost, in
which he spoke of his intention of
standing to the teachers who did their
duty. Then the teachers were called
upon for reports, the first to respond
was j. F. Vines who has charge of the
secondary school at Greenwood; he was
ready to make good report. Next to
respond was N. 7. Huffine under whose
control Bells has been for two years,
and under whose guidance it has taken
high rank. Next were J. j. A. purle-
son, Robert Hufflne and Miss Daisy
Boring. They all gave good reports.
which showed they were doing their
duty. The meeting was deemed so i'm
portant that the directors agreed to al
low the teachers to dismiss school and
visit each others school. To discuss
methods and advance the interests of
the several schools. If there is anything
that speaks well for community it is
good public schools. Let us all unite
in the great cause, and help to build
up the schools. If there was ever in
the history of the world time when
the country needs good men it is now.
And the public schools are the places
to prepare them. The success of our
our country depends upon its public
schools. PuR,IA

LITERARY NOTES.

The leading feature of the Review of
Reviews for November is its presenta,
ton of the Possibilities of the Great
Northwest, " in an article by Mr.. s. A.
Thompson, and in supplementary arti-
Gle by Dr. Emory R. Johnson, upon
finland Waterways for the Northwest. -
Mr.. Thompson, as secretary of the
Duluth Chamber of Commerce, has
for several years been actively engaged
in searching out and applying effective
means for bringing the great states
northwest of the Upper Mississippi, and
the great Canadian provinces belong
ing geographically to the same region,
into closer communication with the rest
of the North American continent. He
is therefore able to write with an enthu-
siasm born OF intimate knowledge of
the subject and supported by very i'm
portant and surprising statistics. DR..
johnson is lecturer on Transportation
in the Wharton School of Finance and
Economics, University of Pennsyl-
vannia, and has recently published a
monograph upon finland Waterways'
DR.. johnson particularly emphasizes
the Importance of canal and river
transportation as means of lowering
railway rates, and he finds a very large
social as we'll as economic influence
resulting from this extension of facil
tiles for shipping and for personal
travel. These two articles suggest a
future of almost unimaginable growth
for the great Northwest Each article
Is fittingly illustrated.

PRESS COMMENT.

New York Press: Not only Repub-
licans, but all lawabiding citizens, may
well rejoice over the. result of yester-
days elections. From national point
of view. the magnificent Republican
victories in Ohio, Massachusetts,, Penn
sylvania and Iowa are hopeful signs
that American voters have, in q meas
ure, recovered from the folly of last
year and recognize that our prosperity
andprogress are, to large extent, found
ed on the wise fiscal and economic pol
icies which for nearly a generation
have formed the fundamental doctrine
of the Republican party.
The victory in the State of New York
for an honest judiciary, in tho face of
the fraud and corruption in this city,
which was massei as never before, to
elect Judge Maynard to the higest
court of this State, would in itself be
sufficiently encouraging without the
still greater victory of the entire State
Republican ticket and the election of q
Republican State legislature Itshows
that the people of the State of New
York were determined to emphasize the
rebuke by stinging defeat that will
teach Democratic leaders that there is
alimittopolitical audacity and villainy.
The glorious victory for good Gov ern.
ment in Brooklyn and the Republican
tidal wave in Kings county are matters
over which respectable citizens of both
political parties may well feel happy
and hopeful. The lesson it teaches
should not be overlooked. The same
vigorous organization and patriotic up
rising Of the people that have charac.
terized the Kings county campaign can
be made just as effective right here in
New York city, where, by methods thai
should consign the perpetrators to the
penitentiary, Tammany Hall has been
able to retain its power, though Grip

Wages Reduced.

Receiver Fink was interviewed by a
Journal representative regarding the
situation" In response to queries,
he stated that he had not yet heard
anything from the grand chiefs of the
trainmen, but that the men were still
at work and he supposed they would
do nothing until their high officers ar
rived, which he supposed they would
do in a few days.
When asked concerning the road 8
business and financial affairs, the re-
ceiver told his questioner that business
had picked up slightly, but not to
amount to anything considera BILE; that
the earnings for October were $4,000
less than for the same month of the
preceding year, 1892, or a total loss for
the month of $125,0O0.

Catarrh, Not Local, But Cons utional.

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in magazine article says:
"A radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catarrh. 1t isnot
a disease of the mans nose: 1t is q dis
ease OF the man, showing itself in the
nose-a local exhibition of constitu-
tional trouble" Therefore he argues,
the use of snuff and other local appli-
cations is wrong, and while they seem
to give temporary relief, they really do
more harm than good. Other leading
authorities agree with DR.. Lewis
Hence the only proper method of cure
for catarrh is by taking constitutional
remedy like Hood 3 Sarsaparilla, which
reaching every part of the body through
the blood, does eliminate all impurities
and makes the whole man healthier.
II removes the cause Of the trouble and
restores the diseased membrane to
proper condition. That this is the prac-
teal result is proven by thousands of
people who have been cured Of catarrh
by taking Hoods Sersaparilla.

Dust Settlers.

With little care the dirtiest carpet

it against the side of the bucket to get
out all the drops, sweep couple Of

GLORY ENOCGHFOR ONE DAY,
OHIO.

At the Democratic State headquart ,rs
in Columbus, they conced the result
such as to give them no cause for look
ing after returns. Chairman Dick, OF
the Republican State headquarters, has
received unofficial returns indicating
Mckinley 3 plurality is 1000 the larg-
est in the history of the State, except
1858. At that time Brough had over
100000, his opponent being Vallanding-
ham, who was then in exile in Canada.
Republicans throughout Ohio have
all along expected great victory. The
meetings of Governor Mckinley, which
exceeded any that had been held before,
all indicated that the people were
aroused and purposed to blot out for
ever the disgrace of last year. The
farmers, workingmen and merchants
had had enough of Democratic rule
and Democratic false pretenses, and
that they proved in today's election.
From the very first return the indica-
tions were that McKinley's plurality
would be something stupendous, and
each succeeding return made that fact
more evident. The first returns showed
gain on the average of about 20 to the
precinct, and shortly afterward the net
gain ran to 90.

KANSAS.

In Kansas returns from various points
in the State add to the overwhelming
victory of the Republicans over the
populists. The Democratic and prohi-
bition vote was very light and cut but
small figure. The returns are still
incomplete, but from full and estimat-
ed returns it is probably that the Re-
publicans have elected county officers
in at least ninety counties of the 1O5 in
the State. The Republicans have prob
ably elected three District judges, the
populists two and the Democrats one.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The estimated Republican majority
is 107,622 for jackson. Philadelphia
elects Republican Supreme Court
Justice by probably 5000.
NEW JERSEY.
The election in New Jersey was for
members Of the Legislature, and the
result shows majority of twenty on
joint ballot for the Republicans.

NEW YORK.

The election in New York WIS clean
complete sweep for the Republicans,
and every hour only adds to the thor
oughness of defeat suffered by Demo-
Gratis. Bartlett is elected to the court
of appeals probably by over $1,000 plu.
rality, and the rest Of the Republican
State ticket wins by 10000. The State
Senate, now Democratic, will have
Republican majority of six. In the city
of New York, ,Tammany carried through
the entire State and county tickets.
Maynard had plurality of only 30
900, the rest of the ticket getting an
average of 10000. The present assem-.
bly, delegation is solidly Democratic.
Three Republicans were elected yester-
day Sheffield, in eleventh; Lawson, in
twenty third; Robertson, in twenty
seventh.
Late returns show that the Republi-
cans have carried Erie county, the home

returns shows that the Republicans
elected their entire judicial ticket, with
the possible exception of Kraft, with
Judge Gary in the lead. Kraft was
identified to some extent in the socialist
movement. The Republicans showed
general gains throughout the city and
county, over the presidential vote Of
last year, and Gary, who presided in
the Haymarket Anarchist trial, and
who was opposed by Governor Altgeld's
influence, received many Democratic
votes, putting him considerable ahead
of his ticket. Gary's plurality is est.
mated at 5000, although enthusiastic
republicans place it as high as $4,000,
with the remainder of the Republican
ticket probably from 1000 to 1000 be-
hind Gary's lead.
