A WARNING FRoM THE STATE CHAIR
MAN
The First Column is the Straight Ticket

Chairman Gilkeson, of the Republican
State Committee. has sent letter II the
Republican county chairmen throughout
the State calling their attention to the i'm
portance OF informing the Republican
voters in their counties that the only
straight Republican ticket on the official
ballot is the one in the first column. The
letter Of instruction WAS sent ont II pre-
vent voters from being misled by the APP
pearance on the ballot of ticket contain
ing the names OF all of the Republican
State candidates and headed "Indepen-
dent Republican"
Here is a copy of Chairman Gilkeson's
letter:
Highly important and to DE read care
fully.
My dear Sir Upon the official ballot
to be voted this year there appears in the
sixth column ticket headed "Indepen-
dent Republican," containing the names
of all our candidates upon the State
ticket
have thought that perhaps some OF
our voters might be misled 10y this ticket
unless they were cautioned that the tick ct
for Republicans 10 vote this year is the
one headed Republican in the frs; col
umn of the official ballot.
Please call the attention of our voters to
this. for if they undertake to leave the
first column for the purpose of marking
their tickets, it may result in serious loss
to your candidate for Congress and your
other local candidates.

Grover Refuses to Help Hill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-To-day all hope
that Grover Cleveland would extend Il
helping hand TO David B. Hill was
dispelled.
Secretary Carlisle announced in an
official telegram 10 Senator Voorhees,, of
Indiana, and Chairman Hinkley, of New
York, that he was too busy to make amy
campaign speeches. He declined the
invitations that had been given him and
thus has confirmed the worst fears of the
Democratic leaders who were relying up
on Cleveland To yield some Endorsement
of the State ticket in New York. even at
the eleventh hour. Everybody agreed
that if Carlisle accepted the invitation
extended him to speak in New York it
would be considered as an Endorsement
of the campaign by President Cleveland.
Everybody also agreed that if Carlisle
found upon the return of Cleveland that he
WAS ''too busy to make campaign speech
O. his declinatiOn could be taken rs an
expression of President Cleveland's in
difference if not disapproval of Hills
campaign in New York.

Baby Captured By an Eagle.

\ dispatch from Huntingdon. Pa, says
that on "Wednesday a huge bald eagle
swooped down from an overlooking ridge
and seized babe i'm the back yard of
Charles Richardson, colored. The child
was creeping about the premises anus
ing itself with a puppy when struck by
the eagle. The bird sank its talons deep
in the babes and clothing and then at
tempted to carry its human prey away
After an effort il succeeded in rising
with the child about twelve feet i'm the
air, when the well-worn dress of the
child tore and the little toddler fell 10
the ground. The eagle continued on i'm
its flight and SCARED to the top of a neigh
boring wooded ridge, where it alighted.
The babe was picked up by its mother
comparatively unhurt. After the excite
ment incident TO the eagles attack on the
child had somewhat subsided, the huge
bird of prey again made dash from its
high perch, and seizing dog belonging
to Mr.. Richardson carried the animal to
the hills across the river, where il leis-
urely devoured It.

Germany Retaliates.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The German
Ambassador to-day notified the Secretary
Of State that in consequence of the intro
duction of Texas fever by means of two
shipments from New York, the importa-
ton of fresh beef and cattle from the
United States 10 Germany would shortly
De prohibited. Shipments made from the
United States up to October y will be adj
mitted only on condition of being slaugh-
tered Immediately upon landing.
1t is thought this marks the commence
mont of a policy of commercial retaliation
agains the United States on account of the
discrimination against German beet su-
gar, in the new tariff law. The Depart
mrnt of \ Agriculture insists that il is i'm
possible that cattle affected with Texas
fever or any similar complaint could have
been shipped from New York.
The Department of Agriculture will in
vestigate the complaint, and Secretary
Gresham, il is expected will send . protest
against Germany's action through the
American Ambassador at Berlin.

Haunted

\ haunted house in these practical and
unromantic days j. something of a rarity,
but an individual haunted with the idea
that his aiiment Is incurable is a parsonage
frequently met with. Disbelief in the
ability OF medicine to cure is only mild
form of monomania, although in some
cases repeated failures to obtain relief
from many different sources would almost
seem TO justify the doubt. HoStetter's
Stomach Bitters has demonstrated it,
ability To overcome dyspepsia, cDnstipa-
tion. liver and kidney trouble, malarial
complaints and nervousness, and its
recorded achievements in the curative
line ought at least TO warrant its trial by
any one troubled with either ofthe above
ailments, even although his previous
efforts to obtain remedial aid have been
fruitleSs. Used with persistence. the
Bitters will conquer the most obstinate
cases.

THE decision of the court i'm favor of
Critchfield ha. completely knocked the
stufiing out of the calculations of our
Democratic brethren. They hoped for
a split iii the Republican ranks and the
consequent election of their candidate
Mr.. Horn. They tried TO magnify
the disagreement and gleefully an
nounced that ''while the Republicans
are quarreling Horn is saving wood. F"
Well, Horn is still saving away, and
will soon have sufficient, we hope, to
keep him in comfort at home during
the next few Years. Saving wood j.
recommended as capital exercise for
political dyspeptics.

cnxex,s Honse nestroued.

MAssILLoN, O., Oct 2s.-The handsome
residence of J :. Coxey, at Coxana, four
miles north of this city, burned to the
ground last night.
A number of outbuildings were also

$1,000
