strong, and he was defeated.
All day long streams of voters were
moving up to the ballot box, and the
contest appeared TO be close. At one
time a candidate would be hopeful, at
another respondent Both were on the
ground working with an en- orgy that be-
spoke success. The friends of the re-
spective candidates were on hand also.
and almost every voter was button-holed
and something whispered in his ear.
1t also should be mentioned that the
candidates for constable were out in full
force, and when the candidates for JUS
tice of the peace had TUNED voter
loose they, standing by in close prox-
unity, would pounce down upon him and

The Country Districts
Elections were also held in all of the
county districts. and in some Of them
lively interest was taken. Especially
was this so in the Fourth district where
Judge W. d. Murray was opposed by nr.
Woods, third partyite. In the fall
elections the Fourth gave the third party
candidates big majorities every time, and
much apprehension was felt lest Woods
would be successful.
Judge Murray did nobly, however, and
redeemed the Fourth, defeating Woods
by vote of three to one. Here is the
result:

Plating Human RemaIns.

A French doctor wants to introduce
his patent process of preserving the re-
mains of the dead. 1t is not embalm-
ing them nor yet mummifying them,
though the bodies must be cmbalmed
before the doctors new process takes
hold of them. The new idea is to
electro-plate the whole body, and thus
preserve to posterity the noble Inca
ments of those whose estates cut suf-
fciently well to allow the expense.
First the body is embalmcd, after
which it is dipped in bath of nitrate
of silver. 1t comes from this bath the
color OF polished silver. After that the
face is subjected to regular electro
plating dip, and comes out FURNISHED
copper, ready to be preserved to tic
latest generations. In order to insure
perfect success, the face is vanished,
and this is the last operation. The
FURNISHED copper face is then war
ranted to remain the same for centur-
les, II treated with reasonable good
care.

country with the splendid Resources OF this
country ha. such poor public roads, il &, en-
couraging, however, TO note that nearly every

1t Is hoped that the movement for improve

the object is accomplished. A rock-breaker,
manufactured by Totten * Hogg, Founders,
Pittsburgh, Pa, ID a perfected invention, aud
fully justihes every requirement IN the matter
Of construction Of macadam roads. The rock
breaker is being quite largely used all over
the country. 1t has been demonstrated re-
peatedly In this inventive age, that to have
need Of an implement for improvement ia
any line, and 10 tighten mans lshorS,
straightway some genius quickly brings forth
Just the implement or device needed. Nov

appointed to the Mexican mission, was
born of Quaker parents at Donning-
ton, Pa, in 1898. His father moved 10
New Madison, Ohio. There Isaac
Puscy Gray grew up and there he mar
ried Miss Eliza Juqua. The young
couple in 1858 took up their residence
at Union City, which, although partly
located in Ohio, is always spoken of as
an Indiana town.
He began life as q dry goods clerk.
He studied law, was admitted to the
bar, nnd soon acquired n large and lu-
crative practice.
When the war broke out he was made
u Captain in the Fourth Indiana cav
airy. In 1863 he was discharged on ac-
count OF i'll health.
At the outset OF his political career
Mr.. Gray was Republican. He ran
for Congress as Republican in 1850
and was defeated by George W. Julian.
Two years later he was elected nc a
Republican to the State Senate. in
which he became the Republican
leader. President Grant appointed
him Consul to st. Thomas in 1870, but
Gray would not accept the place be-
cause he disapproved of Grants policy.
In lST2, on the same grounds, he re-
fused denomination TO the State Sem

Mr.. Gray was delegate at large

the Democratic nomination for the At
ney-Generalship of Indiana.
Indiana supported ex-Goy. Gray for
the Vice-Presidency in the st. Louis
Convention in 1888, and last year he
was talked of US a possible Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. When
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination was u.s.
sured Mr.. Gray's friends advocated his
nomination to the Vice-Pre sidency. In
1876 Mr.. Gray WAS elected Lieutenant.

Two years ago his wife and daugh-

was severe one.
He determined TO do the handsome
thing by his dead wife and daughter,
and had erected over their graves u
rather costly monument, for which
he was Obliged to give the marble
dealer mortgage on his ta:n E, so-
curity,
The mortgage expired December
%. 1892. and as the time approached
for Its payment Holton saw that he
was not going TO be able TO meet the
obligation.
The mans neightors became aware
of his prcdicament and eontribu-

pose of liquidatins the debt, but it
fell short Of the required amount by

found e wild goose lying in the brush
helpless, One Of the birds legs had

took it home. He did his best to hea

The farmer concluded tAat it ha,

dismissed it from his mind.
