M'KINLEY AND QUAY.

The visit Of Senator Quay TO Major
Mckinley at Canton, Ohio, has set pol
iticisns to conjecturing as to what the
two Republicn leaders talked about;
but 80 neither seems disposed to make
any revelations they can only surmise.
That some combination was contem-
plated can hardly be doubted, but what
1t was time only will reveal.
Mckinley for President and Quay for
Vice-President would be a good Ma
tional ticket for the Republicans, but
Pennsylvania favorite son has not sd-
mitted that he would consent to be
made the tail Of his parsy's kite.
Boss Platt's position does not how
ever seem to have improved with re-
cent developments. He is on record as
having said some very spitetul things
about the Ohio statesman, and willis
the latter might be amiable enough to
forgive and overlook such indiscretion,
1t is not ct all likely that his manager,
Hon. Mark Hanna, will allow Plat to
ride in the Mckinley chariot.
In the meantime the Ohio man has, 1t
seems, rather made mess OF the A. P.
A. matter. while his silence as to the
financial question Is not helping his
candidacy for President in the North
and East. Mr.. Hanna says Major Nc
Kinley will stand by the platform
adopted by the National Republican
convention at st. Louis; but that does
not seem to satisfy the DIRECTORS st all
On the whole, while Mckinley will IL
all probability be nominated for Presi-
dent recent events have not added to
his strength as the head Of the Republi-
can ticket to be presented to the people
at the election in November next.

AFTER THE WAR.
A Story of the Sufferings of a Promi-
nent Pennsylvania Attorney.
From Pittsburg Post.

Instances by the hundreds can be
found all over the country of men who
went into the war of the rebellion
strong and healthy and came out phys
ically wrecked. The discomforts and
exposures OF those four awful years left
with them a legacy of disease that is
bringing them one by one to their
graves. And yet some are finding re-
lief, even at this late date. One of the
most interesting cases of this sort is
that of John 7. Donnan, prominent
pension claim attorney of Burgetts-
town, Pa. Mr.. Dopnan suffered tor
lures from troubles resulting from dis
ordered kidneys and has been cured by
that never-failing remedy, Doans Kid
ney Pills. His story is an exceptional
ly interesting one.
when / began taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills few months ago." he said,
81 had not eaten bread or any other
starchy food, or fats of any kind, for
nearly two years. For long while |
had been treated for disorders of the
stomach and had taken quite variety
OF strong tonics, peptones and other
similar medicines without any appreci-
able results. To begin with, | am a
total physical wreck, having, while
serving with Sherman in his Georgia
campaign, contracted pneumonia
which resulted in the entire consolida-
tion OF my right lung, curvature of the
spine, and heart disease, for which
haye been drawing pension for more
than 30 years. These organic diseases
are, of course, incura BILE, but l have
been convinced recently that my gastric
trouble was due alone to kidney disor-
der. My father was medical practi-
TONER here for 80 years, and have read
quite good deal on the subject of med,
icine, and SO was able to diagnose my
case.
"At the time l began to use Doan's
Kidney Pills my urine was scant, high
ly colored and strong smelling; l was
pale, tongue heavily coated, flesh soft
and flabby, had poor appetite, and
rested poorly at night. My weight
was 116 pounds. After using Doan's
Kidney Pills for two months, l can
cheerfully testify to their remarkab BILE
worth. My weight has increased near.
ly 10 pounds, flesh is much firmer, urine
normal, color good and appetite excel.

and beans without the slightest distress

Just What's Needed

Exclaims thousands of people who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this sea-
son of the year, and who have noted
the success of the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon II large and pressing
business during the spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks
distant 1t is then that the building
up powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
fully appreciated. 1t seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change OF season, climate or
life, and while it tones and sustains
the system, IL purifies and vitalizes the
blood.

THE SECOND GAME.
Marietta Again Defeats Parkersburg by a
Score of Ten to Three.

About 10 Marietta rooters went down
on the Catherine Davis to Parkersburg
Tuesday to see the local nine rub it in
to the West Virginia aggregation pre-
tending to play ball under the manage
ment of Sig Marcus. The game ended
in defeat for Parkersburg even more
humiliating than that of the day be-
fore.
Gunther was hit hard by the Marietta
boys and three home runs were made
off his delivery in the eighth sinning.
Reynolds pitched for Marietta and put
up fine game, receiving good support
behind the bat and in the field.

A MINNEAPOLIS BARBER.
Takes Advantage Of a Child to Do
$3.50 Worth Of Work.

Minneapolis. Nov. little Johnny
Powers, a 13-year-old orphan, came to
the city Saturday for a visit with
friends. He felt rich with s1.50 in his
pocket and decided he could afford
hair cut before hunting up the place he
was to visit Louis P Banse runs a
barber shop at 329 Washington avenue
s. and it was in his chair that Johnny
resigned himself to luxury His hair
being cut the barber inquired if he
didn't want a shampoo, and the unso-
phisticated lad, not suspecting an addi-
tional charge told him to go ahead.
Hair tonic was then applied, on the bar
ber's suggestion, and the tOnsorial ar
fist next remarked that Johnny seemed
old enough to shave. This hattering re
mark had its effect. and the boy was
properly lathered and shaved.
When it was all over. Johnny reached
for a quarter He was absolutely fab
bergasted when suavely informed that
the bill was $3.50, but he paid it.
though ii took his last cent. Alone in a
strange place, absolutely penniless, a
cold rain falling and night coming on,
the boy went out into the street Too
sensitive to explain his predicament
and too strange to find his friends. he
wandered about in the rain all night
without bite to eat. This morning he
was picked up by Patrolman George
Johnson. numb from cold and almost
famiShed

The State Stands Alongside of Kansas
in o Ension Maioritz.

Omaha, Nov. although the re
turns from Nebraska are fragmentary
and may remain incomplete for two or
three days. enough is known to war
rant the conclusion that Nebraska has
been carried by Bryan and the fusion
ticket with majorities ranging from
5000 to 5000. This is conceded by Re
publicans- The vote for presidential
electors on both the Repu and flu
sion tickets is considerably heavier than
that given to candidates for state Of
hcers and congressman. HOleOmb fu-
sion nominee for governor viii run
from 1900 to 1900 lower than Bryan
and the candidates on the fusion ticket
VIII not quite reach the vote for Hol-
comb
1t is notable chat the Republican
strongholds, including, Douglas. Lam
caster, Gage. Pawnee and Saline, have
all shown a very decided falling off.
while the Democratic and Populist
counties have not only held their own,
but in many cases have exceeded their
strength The OBJECTIONS in the con-
gressional lists will defeat five out Of
six Republican candidates for cOngre IS.
Mercer of the Second being the only
man on that ticket elected.
From the returns thus far received it
is manifest that fusion is in control of
both houses of the state legislature.
The Republicans will have II senators
and Al members of the house, while the
fusi0nists will muster q senators and
SO representatives, or nearly a two
thirds majority in each branch of the
legislature.
