Throughout the entire campaign 90
far most Of the wome oe the district
have been against him, and their opposi.
ton has NOT been lessened by the fact
that his managers have revived many
old scandals concerning members OF
such families as do notnow c-ountenance
his candidacy. I'm return for these tao
tics ON his part an old scandal of a
financial nature, In which he figured a.
principal, has been raked mp against
him. In many places flags and banners
and transparencies bearing notices di-
rectly referring to the social signifi-
canoe of the campaign have been dis
played, and these have in several in
stances added greatly TO the existing
tension. At cne place a flag inscribed
with the words, Protect American Wo-
manhood, y was torn into small pieces
and tramplcd under foot by the crowd,
and this action, SO the telegraph states,
was participated in by some of the wo-
men who were present.

It can be readily seem why the In
habitants OF the Ashland district, no

Testimony of Finger Prints.

When q finger CT finger print is
closely examined under lens of only
moderate power, it Is seen to abound in
minute pecaliarities. These are caused
by the branchings of some of the ridges,
the sudden appearance of new ones, the
formation Of rings, or ovals, like eye
let's, and tine abrupt stoppage OF ridges
without any apparent cause.
1t is in these countless little peculiari-
ties even more than In the general char
acter of the pattern that the value
Of finger prints as proof OF identity
lies, for these appearances, however
minute, do not change In the smallest
particular during life. A pattern may
be traced on the fingers of the babe
when born; it will be found the same
on those fingers when he has grown to
manhood and may be imprinted from
the fingers Of the dead without change
In the smallest point, though hundred
years should intervene between birth
and death.
The pattern grows together with the
finger. Its proportions vary with fat
ness or leanness. They may be further
affected by wear, gout or age. But
such changes appear in the pattern as
Q whole, never in the form Of correla-
ton Of it's constituent parts. The pat
tern may become altered In length or
breadth by hard wear Of q peculiar hind,
but the number Of ridges that concur in
forming the pattern. their embranch-
ments, their archings, loops and other
minute characteristics, are not subject
to change. They are indestructible aa

gular construction. and are well devised
fox the execution Of the Eschemes of the
coAspirators. They are evidently
tha property Of anarchists and lend
color TO the destruction Of prop
erky and probably life. The machines
are electrical devices and are construct

OF the machine is seen when it is known
that the time of the explosion can be
regulated with absolute certainty by the
proper adjustment OF clock work mech
anisn which frees the current.
Expect to Find More Evidence.
The police believe that somewhere,
hidden in the haunts of the Chicago

proof of the premeditated uprising
which was planned by the reds for this
