Tn. Michigan voter will have five state
tickets from which to make his selection.
The popcratic or fusion represents the
Democratic. populist and free silver COM
lined into one In behalf of silver. The
state tickets nominated by the respective
party organizations showing the principal
otncers, are as follows: For gevernor-Rep..
Hazen S PIngree; fusion, Charles r. Sigh.
For lieutenant goverror-Rep., homaS IL.
Dunstan; fusion, Justin X. Whiting. For
Gardner: fusion, Almon G. Bruce. Fo-
state treasurer-Rep. George A. Steele
fusion, otto Karste. For auditor general
Rep, Roscoe ID. Dix; fusion. Arthur f..
Cole For attorney general-Rep.. Fred
A. Maynard: fusion, Alfred J. Murphy.
Besides the republican and popocrat tick
cts there are three other tickets in the
field. the sound money democrats, the
straight prohihitionists and the national or
free silver prohibitioniSts. Neither of these
tickets will cut much of a figure in the
election.
The democratic state chairman claims as
follows:
There is no doubt that Michigan will
give its electoral vote to Bryan. Not day
but reports come from every county as
sorting that We are steadily gaining new
converts. A poll of thirty counties shows
that twenty-eisht will give majoritieS for
Bryan. The precincts polled show an aver
age of sixteen republicans who will vote
for Bryan. If the average In the thirty
counties holds good throughout the entire
state it will amount to over 10000. which
would indicate majority Of not less than
5000 for Bryan. This calculation eS-
sumes that the gain from prohibition votes
would equal the vote for Palmer and Buck
ner.'
The republican state chairman's claim is
as follows: I'VE are sure Of 10000 ma
tority. and believe 1t will exceed that
figure. Republicans will elect every Con-

pa.gn In Minnesota has wound uD with a
strong tide Mckinleyward. Privately. the
popocratic managers admit that they have
no hope of winning the Minnesota electoral
vote. ard they give public evidence of this
by the turn they have in the last few days
given to the campaign. Their efforts have
been concentrated on governor and Con-
gressmen. The republicans have made a
very shrewd sortie in behalf of Governor
clouSh by raising the theory that If Lind
elected governor capital Will be driven
iway from investment here. just as 1t IS
claimed 1t has been in Kansas and Colorado

ment has unquestionably caused a good
many anti-Clough republicans to decide to
vote for Clough. and may not imDrobably

plurality considerably less than that Of

MRS. DYER HANGED.
London Child Murderess Meets Death
On the Scaffold.

London Child Murderess Meets Death
On the Scaffold.
London, June io.-Mrs. Annie Dyer, the
Reading baby farmer who presumably had
murdered scores of infants entrusted to
her care, was hanged at Newgate prison
at Q O'Clock this morning.
The weather was rainy, but the crowds
n the vicinity OF the prison were as large
as the available space would actonmo-
date. When the black flag was hoisted, in
dicating that the Reading ogress had paid
the penalty of her crimes, the crowd cheered
loud and long.
Since she was sentenced to death Mrs.
Dyer twice attempted to commit suicide
n Newgate prison. Latterly she was
watched day aud night and was deprived
of everything except her most necessary
clothing, even her hairpns having been tax
en- from her.
The woman was completely dazed when
she was led to the scaffold this morning
and had 10 be supported by the wardens
who have had her in charge since she was
sentenced to die.
Although Mrs. Dyer was clearly proven
10 have committed NUMEROUS murders OF in
fants, she was tried on selected case,
that of killing little girl, the child OF a
barmaid, whom she had adopted for the
sum of E10. The child was strangied with
a piece of tape and its body sunk in the
Thames at Reading. The bodies of seven
other children, who had been similarly
straugled, were found in the river at the
time that the body of the barnaids in

fresh object lessons of what, by organized
effort, girls aud hoys can do in Christian
work. Coming nearer home, we have in
this city one or more branches quietly ut
work doing, in their humble way, what
ever comes to hand.
Mention of one branch may not be out of

uupre,entious. yet farreaching, and which
by tho blessing Of God did much good.
This league, as it was thought at the
time, grew up in the night and would
perish in the night" Not so: on the con-
trary, 1t seems to have begun a career Of
usefulness, born Of desire to do good.
1t Is non-tienomin ational; all churches are
represented in its ranks. Boys desiring
Fellowship in good works promise on their
Joining the league to discourage swearing
and cigarette smoking.
Dunug the six years of this organization
nearly two hundred boys have been in its
membership and ubout $500 in money,
clothes, groceries, ETC., have been given
to the worthy poor. One simple, but
touching. incident in the work OF this
organization, will Illustrate its experience
all along the line.
There chanced to come one day an appeal
for aid from family way down in Louis
lana. Among the children. in this family
was u lad twelve years of age. This boy,
in order to help his mother in her strug-
gle to live, toiled hand on the farm from sun
rise to sunset, and ut odd times picked cot
ton for colorcd neighbOrs at 90 cents u
day. which money went into the common
fund.
The only pleasure the brave boy had
was a pony. which some kind friend had
given him. and which he called Nickel.
One day Nickel was standing under O shade
tree in the yard when u storm came up.
The tree was blown down, and poor Nickel's
life crushed out. Naturally, boys sympa-
thize with boys in their troubles, and n
hearty response went down to Louisiana.
Much credit for this report Is due to
Mr.. Norton Everett, the president of the
league, by whose zeal SO much has been
accomplished. SUBSCRIBER.

Formerly If q man wanted refractory

to extract teeth absolutely without pain,

used for this purpose is the one called Zono,
