Doctors Sill Baffed.

TIE singularly distressing illness among
the guests at the wedding Of John Taplaw
and Anna Gage at Sabula, Iowa, Is still
occupying the attention OF the medical
fraternity Of that vicinity, but 80 far no
ply siciRb has been able 70 correctly dag
nose the disease. Three deaths have oc
cured aud eighty persons are confined "a
their beds. and several Of these are not ex-
pecied 10 live.
To. p-culiarity OF the disease is causing
.resl apprehension and is attributable to
Tue failure of the ply ysicians TO successfully
cont bat il. It's similarity to common
forms of poisoning and its imperviousness
10 all antidotes and usual remedies is pecul-
lar Some OF the victims show every
symptom OF tuehinOsis, yet the ordinary
treatment fails TO eradicate the disease or
| slay the fever with which 1t u aocompan
led. Others appear to be affected with
ptomaine. and the anidotes administered N
cases OF mineral poisoning have not the
slightest tendency to check the illness.

How to RulId Up a Tow N

Every growing, ambitious western or
southern city desires more factories. II
wants them of different kinds, also, so that
one may he busy while another is dull, and
skilled labor vii! he in active demand. In
order to attract investments all such towns
should help elect protectionist congress
men and make their influence felt by
chambers of commerce and the press In
favor of protection. Such displays of the
industrial spirit impel manufacturers to
establish factories and encourage theil
wealthy friends to invest therein. When
town votes for rampant free trader foI
congress, and through its board of trade
denounces manufacturers as 'monopo
lists" IL is likely to be left severely alone
despite all probable undoubtcd natural
advantages.

American Good. Got There.

Messrs. Landers, Frary 81 Clark have
supplied all the cutlery that is used on the
new American liner st. Louis. Patriotic
Americans will rejoice in this act, because
it shows that the International Naviga-

American industries. Transatlantic tray

cutlery supplied by English manufactur-
ers will, we are quite sure find that there
is no deterioration in the quality of the

will also subsequently be used on her sis

THE general elections are now less than
a month off. Those contests which are
attracting most attention are confined to
New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio,
Kentucky and Iowa. National issues are
not cutting much Of figure, except in
an indirect way. Every politician natur
ally takes note of the fact that in the
year preceding the national campaign his
party should strive to make a creditable
showing, but the demoralization of the
Democracy has been so complete as a re-
suit of the fearful rebukes and punish
ments administered during the elections
of 1893 and "a, that even the most san
guine OF their leaders will be satisfied if
the results Of this year prove no more dis
astrous than those of the two preceding
years.-Gazette.

ALL advancement in science and NOR
ais comes from the impulse which seeks
individual superiority. The real bene-
factors are few, and it is the spirit which
strives after excellence that has made all
the advancement in all the ages. This
is true in morals as we'll as in physics
Fierce competition and the survival OF
the fitest hes produced all excellence IN
literature, art and religion. He who
would make it impossible for men to &c
wrong is an enemy Of his kind. Let the
motive for doing right be love OF right
and let the opportunities for doing evi
be what they may. Men should try tt
excel each other in virtue and wisdom II
the face of all temptation. That is tho
way it works throughout all nature, anc
that is the Almighty's plan of develop
ment. The Socialists are wrong. They
would decrease the sum of human miser,

the erection of buildings, can protec'

for material and labor, by filing IN the
Prothonotary's Office the stipulation OF

tor receives money for the erection OF a

OBITUARY NOTES.

Miss Carrie McGuirk of Anandafe Pa.
was laid to rest on last Sabbath; the victim
of severe attack of typhoid fever.
She was a young lady of more than
ordinary ability, uDswervivng.integrity and
a alaudablv ambitious Christian character;
such one as though laid to rest still
lives fresh and green in the memories and
affections OF those with whom she came in
contact in her daily lite; which life ex-
ample and influence still lives here, aud is
destined to be rewarded and shine bright
er and brighter through eternity.
OF such the poet said: There are no
dead. the stars go down, to rise upon
some fairier shore and bright in Heavens
Jewled crown, they shine forever.
"And ever near us though unseen, the
dear immortal spirits tread.
"For all the boundless universe is life,
there are no dead. K. G.
General aud ex-senator William Malone
of Virginia died at his home in Wasl ing
ton d. G. Tuesday
The country will long remember Gen
eral William Malone as one of the most
picturesque figures and characters in pub
lie life during the last 80 years. Excep-
tionally slight in stature and frame, he has
been q marked man in great asse mblages
| A peculiar style of dress, and especially
| his hat, attracted attention TO him. This
broad hrimmed felt headgear seemed out
| Of proportion to the tiny form beneath II.
| But beneath its shade sDarkled pair OF
| the keenest eyes ever possessed by man.
During Garfield's administration the
read iaster' controversy in Virginia bade
| fair To be the entering wedge for a split in
the solid south. Toe Readiusters were a
| Democratic faction taking name from
| their desire to 'readjust' the State debt on
a basis that meant partial repudiation.
'In 1879 by fusion with the Republi-
cans, the Read justers controlled the State
and elected their leader, William Malone
| to the United States Senate.
"The negro vote helped Malone. BE
had always favored fair treatment for the
black man In his country the blacks baC
voted freely and their votes had been
counted as cast. Good provision for Col
Ored schools had also been made there
In spite Of Democratic pleadings ant
denunciations, Malone concluded to
support tho Republicans. This tied the
Senate, even if Davis voted with the Dem
| ocrats, and Vice President Arthur could
! of course. be counted on to turn the vote
| the Republican way.
"Mahone's course aroused great wrath
especially among the Southern Senators
