MCKINLEY NOT ELECTED.
Ex-Gov. Altgeld Charges Wholesale
Election Frauds.

Ex- Gov. John p. Altgeld was given a
banquet by friends at the fremont House,
Chicago. recently. He made speech in
which he charged wholesale fraud at the
late election. The Ex-Governor said in
part
''In Ohio there were nearly 200, 900
more votes counted in 1896 than there
were in 1892, which would indicate an
increase of population in that State during
four years of nearly 1000, 600 people,
whereas in reality there has not been an
increase Of third Of million in that
time. In other words, it is clear that in
Ohio over "a, 900 fraudulent votes we're
counted, and as the returns show that Mr..
Mckinley had only majority of 49, 900
in that State it is certain that Mr.. Bryan
carried Ohio by over 40, 600.
Practically every legal vote was cast
in Illinois in 1892, yet in 1896 there were
243, 900 more votes counted than in 1892.
Daring the whole history of Illinois our
population has not reached 1900, 600.
In ten years, from 1880 to 1890, during
which our growth was greatest, the popu
lation of the State increased only about
$50, 900, yet according to the late election
returns the population increased in four
years, from 1892 to 1896, nearly l, 200,
600.
.sThis shows the monstrously fraudulent
character of the whole proceeding. 1t
should be said that, notwithstanding these
fraudulent votes, Mckinley carried Illinois
by only small majority and not by 49,
900 majority, as reported. 1t is certain
that he did not carry Ohio or Indiana or
Kentucky or California. and it is doubtful
if he carried number of other States
credited to him.

Letter from Indiana.
of the Democratic Advocate

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
ELwooD. IND, Feb 9th, 1897.
Mr.. EDITOR Perhaps few items
from this part of the gas belt would be in
teresting to the readers of the ADVOCATE
Times are very dull here and have been
for a long time The Elwood factories
all closed down last summer. After the
election they started up again, on con-
idence but | don know how long they
will run. There is some talk Of them
closing down again the coming summer.
The gas is holding out pretty well yet.
Elwood didn' t improve great deal last
season, on account Of the dull times,
although she had good trade. Elwood
has the largest dry goods trade of any
town of her size in the West. The popu-
lation is between 13. 600 and IA, O00
If times are hard people must live and be
clothed and fed. Mr.. R. L. Leeson,
with his seventy five clerks, who runs a
grocery, dry goods, clothing, hardware and
furniture store, combined, retai1ed last
season 1852, 952 worth of goods, all spot
cash; and Mr.. Wiley, with his large gro
Gerry, dry goods and clothing store did
large business also. The Boston dry goods
goods store does large business as well as
many groceries clothing stores. The farm
er and the laborer, however, are not doing
SO we'll The farmers are having tough
time of it this season, in this part of the
country The wheat crop was poor one
in quantity and quality; the corn and oats
crop never was better then last year, but
the farmers lost about all their hogs last
fall from disease, aud they have been haul
ing their corn to market all fall and winter
at sixteen and seventeen cents per bushel.
That don't count very fast. They are
complaining that they cant keep up and
pay their taxes, for taxes are very high
here, on account of the free pike roads.
Last season was a good season here
plenty of rain. On July 18th, we had a
terrible flood that did lots of damage
rotted the potatoes in the ground, the big
est crop ever raised if they could have been
saved Fruit and Vegetables were plenty.
The weather has been pleasant all fall
and winter. From January 23d to 3lst,
there was lots of snow and extreme cold
weather and the mercury got down as low
as 200 below zero.

Wells of Wind Found in Arizona
From Popular Science.

Arizona possesses some of the greatest
natural wonders in the world, not the least
of which is this phenomenon of a current
of air issuing from or going into the bowels
of the earth through sundry natural and
artificial openings made in the earth
crust
Something over a year ago Mr.. Couf-
man undertook the drilling of well at his
place. Everything went well to depth
of % feet, when the drill suddenly dropped
some feet and strong current of air
issued from the hole The escaping air
current was so strong that it blew off the
men hats who were recovering the lost
drill.
The well was of course, abandoned and
left to blow, but there are some peculiar
tiles about it that are worthy Of observa-
ton. The air will escape from the well
for days at time with such force that
pebbles the size of peas are thrown out
and piled up about its mouth until it looks
very much like the expanded portion Of
funnel. At the same time it is accom-
panied by sound much like the distant
believing of fog horn. This noise IS not
always present, because the air does not at
all times escape with the same force
Again, for days there will be suction
current, unaccompanied by sound, in
which the current of air passes into the
earth, with some less force than it es-
capes, and any light object as feather,
piece of paper or cloth, viii, if held in
close proximity, be Immediately sucked
into the subterranean labyrinth of EoIus,
Just the cause Of this phenomenon no
one has yet been able to determine, but it
is supposed that there is an underground
opening between the Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado, which cleaves the earth for more
than mile in depth, and the Sycamore
Caryon, some eight miles to the south of it,
of the same proportions, but much short
er.
This would seem possible from the fact
that the current of air is always passing
from north to south, or vice versa, varying,
of course, few points of the compass from
the true meridian, but always in these
general directions, as determined by ex-
pertinent, and then the stratum underlying
the quarternary is of volcanic cinder. This
is very porous, and in many places social
ed bottomless holes exists

Six Kentucky Marriages.
From the Columbus. Ky, spectator.

From the Columbus, KY. Spectator.
At the village of Roiey, one day re-
Gently there were six couples married. In
the morning there was a riple wedding in
the church. In the afternoon three other
couples were welded, within an hour of
each other, at the homes of the respective
brides. All six of the couples were enter
tanned at the home of "Uncle' Bob
Tucker, who, after the different marriages,
was closely related to all the principals
thereto. Now come some of the singular
features of the case. Uncle Bob, before
the wedding, had in the lot of twelve in
dividuals daughter, son three grand
daughters, one niece and one nephew. In
the twelve there were brother and sister,
two sisters, two brothers, three cousins,
two uncles, an aunt, four nieces and two
nephews, and yet no one of the twelve
persons married any one related to him or
herself Another funny feature is, that
before the wedding there were two named
Hopkins, two Dunbars. two Chefs, two
fuckers, two McWhorters, one Pendleton
and one Hood. After the omelet was
done the Dunbars and Hopkinses had
gained two; the Pendletons, Chelfs and
McWhorters had been exterminated; the
Hoods had been increased by one, and the
fuckers had held their ground. Ever
since the wedding day the gossips have
been figuring on the probable kinship be-
tween the several brides and glooms and
their mutual relative, ''Uncle' Bob Tucker

The Pace That Kills.

The pace that kills business woman IS
the work she does at home, says the Buff
falo News.
Good hard, faithful attention to bust
ness never killed any one, man or woman
Worry and seeing of things idea-these
are the two nails in the business woman {
coffin.
The .'seeing of things" idea is dis
tinctly feminine No man ever had it.
Every woman is born with 1t.
Men sit in a street car and watch the
driver of a truck groan and tug, and try
to get his wheels off the track, and not a
man will move to help that driver, or even
sigh in sympathy. Every woman in the
car is edging and peering and wishing she
dared go out on the platform and 'see to
that truck.
That the thing that kills women.
They try and carry the world on their
shoulders and they don realize that the
world is a great deal better off without
their puny strength under it.
Business women try to do too many
kinds of things They are, most Of them,
ss.Jills of trades When business man
gets UP in the morning he takes his bath,
goes into the dining loom and eats his
breakfast, kisses his family good-by and
goes down town to work, like sensible
man. The business woman-do you know
her? 1 do.
IN tell what the business woman does.
She gets up early and goes into the chill
dren's room and fuses around for half an
hour or so. If you ask her what she is
doing, she Il say she's ''seeing to things.
She hires servant-and waits upon her
She pays a dressmaker and sits up
nights studying fashion books fora new way
to have dress made.
She buys hat-and takes it home and
tears it all to pieces and makes it over
again.
She dictates to type-writer-and then
takes the copy and corrects it herself.
She works herself i'll over something she
CAM do, and ought not to do, and takes
rueful pleasure in martyred spell of i'll
ness.
She worries about other people troubles
and frets over other peoples children, she
almost takes medicine for other people 8
headaches, and she puts all her friends
into nervous irritation trying to ''see to
them y
If the business woman is worth one-half
her salary, she puts all these things out of
her mind at once

A Century Hence.
From the RostOn Transcript.

A horse, an animal said to have once
been quite common in our city streets,
was seen in this city yesterday. He at
tracted much curiosity and he was followed
wherever he went by immense crowds.
1t is almost impossible to believe that eur
ancestors could have trusted their lives to
SO formidable creature. 1t is under
stood that the animal escaped from the
Equine Food abattoir in Brighton.
An almost unprecedented event hap
pened in this city last evening, when Mr..
and Mrs JOHN Brownsmith celebrated the
anniversary of their marriage. The Brown
smiths were married a year ago. 1t is
quite remarkable for a couple to live so
long together in the state of wedlock, and
their celebration naturally drew to their
residence dense throng of admiring
friends Congratulations were poured
upon the happy pair, with wishes that
they might continue together long enough
to observe the second anniversary of their
wedding.
The directors of the Euripides Manu-
featuring company have been convicted of
the charge of failure to examine into the
accounts of their treasurer, and have sew
orally been sentenced to imprisonment in
the State prison for term of FIVE years.
Their counsel argued that, inasmuch as
the treasurer accounts, as shown by ex-
pert examination, were faultless during his
r Il.
had ever fallen upon him, the sentence
should be lighter, but the court very justly
remarked that the offense was the same as
if the result had been severe loss to the
stockholders
1t was curious to see pedestrian in
Washington street today, the first enc that
has been seen in the city for many years.
He occasioned no small amount of vexa-
tion to the unicyclists, in whose way he
was getting continually There can be no
objection to people walking in their own
houses or in the country, where there is
plenty of room, but it is clearly out of the
question that the practice should be per-
mitted in our crowded city streets.
The death of Solomon Strongmind,
which occurred this morning, calls to mind
the remarkable fact that during his long
residence of five years or more in this city
he has never mysteriously disappeared for
even once Undoubtedly Mr.. Strongmind
was somewhat eccentric in his habits gen
orally, but in this especial matter the con-
trolling cause must have been something
far more potent than mere oddity.
A man appeared on the street dressed
in trousers and cutaway coat yesterday
He was promptly arrested and carried to
the station house When he next made
his appearance he had donned the petit
coats and other garments appropriate to
his sex

were drc vned. A short distance below,
Just above the first shot tower, the hull
strucl- 4 bluff bank, which again ca
reened the boat nearly on her side. The
hui and cabin parted. The former sunk
and lodged on bar above Carondelet,
while the cabin floated down to the
point of the bar below that place, where
it lodged and became stationary. As
the cabin passed the steamer Henry
Bry lying at the shot tower, its captain
heard the frantic cries of the passen-
gers. He went to their rescue in his
yawl, but only a few at a time could be
taken off.
Among the passengers was Col.
Woods famous "0hio Fat Girl" who
weighed 44O pounds. She was saved by
the combined efforts of Capt. Robert
Bullock, of Maysvisle, KY, and several
other men. The mayor of st. Louis,
who personally assisted in relieving
the sufferers, caused all who were saved
to be taken to the Virginia hotel. 1t was
estimated that 60 persons persisted in
the disaster-St. Louis Republic.
