Attempted Suicide.

Last week our village received con-
siderable of a shock by one ofits well
known citizens attempting to'shuuttie
off this mortal coil" James Kenne-
dy last week Monday and Tuesday
had been drinking quite heavily, and
all day Wednesday felt in a some
what respondent condition. In the
evening about $50 he went into
Krueger's drug store and purchased
an ounce of aconite, claiming he want.
ed it for his horses. After securing
the deadly drug he started, presum-
edly for home, but he only went
short way and came back and told
Mr.. Kruger that he had drank it.
Mr.. Kruger lost no time in parley-
ing with him, but Immediately ran
for medical assistance. He soon re-
turned with DR.. Hulburd and they at
once set to work in emptying Mr..
Kennedy's stomach. They succeed.
ed in saving the mans life, and from
all we can hear he will not again at
tempt to seek new world would I'M
til his time comes. SIS

That Monday Night neeting.

1t is said that the court house meet
ing last Monday evening was in the
main meeting of confession; meet
ing wherein many if not most of the
speakers excepting him that made
the ''whirlwind" speech, confessed the
errors of their (earlier) ways"
Some of them land among them
the tall editor of the Sum are said to
have INDUCED in more or less dra-
matte Tor dogmatic) declarations OF
future conduct in connection where
with it is said the editor Of the Sun
declared he had always entertained a
wholesome contempt for them that
question HIS motives.
He at the same time, SO report says,
acknowledged that he EXPECTED HIS
motives connected with his sudden
conversion to prohibition beliefs)
WOULD BE QUESTIONED.
Surely they will; and why not?
At the court house meeting, as the
report goes, he declared he had cast
his "last vote for licenses" that while
he lives he will 1866 days in every
year advocate and support prohibl-
ton principles" that while he pub
fishes newspaper" its columns will
be ever open for the advocacy of
prohibition principles. Those that
heard him (or at any rate many of
those that heard him) feared his dec
larations were the product of his
political disappointment of the Sat-
urday evening previous. but proof
that their fears we're we'll grounded
hath come to hand sooner than ex-
pected. OF what doth the proc f
consist? Why, only last evening,
shortly after the result of yesterdays
election was known, the tall editor of
the Sun, it is reliably reported, was
heard exultingly to say: "Well if we
haven't accomplished anything else
in this election. we have at least
broken up the Prohibition party of
Morris
1t would seem to be right con
clusion that it will now be proper for
the editor of the Sun to apply him
self, to his motives for example, the
"heroic remedies" he was but lately
editorially proposing to administer
to others.

..Temperance'' Rally.

A political rally was called at the
court house last Monday evening UNI
der the guise of a temperance meet
ing by the "bolters" of the caucus
last Saturday evening, which sue
ceeded in collecting together large
crowd of men, women and children,
principally women and children. But
as to making voters in the sympathy
of the boilers, for which purpose the
meeting was called, it was a fiat fail
ure. AS to temperance meeting it
proved interesting, as Rev. Whittier
and Rev. Willett both made very
commendable speeches in the cause
OF temperance and refrained from be-
ing drawn in on the political issue,
much to the regret of the principal
movers in calling the meeting. Sew
eral other speeches we're made and
some apologies, but without effect, in
asmuch as it appeared on the face of
it that the speakers were out of place.
The meeting afforded an oppur-
tunity for some to give vent to their
feelings, which, of course, is of con-
siderable satisfaction.

j. A, JOHNSON, Sec.
At the polls yesterday the people
were substantiated in their action by
the voters, while the action of the
boilers was most emphatically disap-
proved Of. The entire caucus ticket
was elected by two to one, and
license carried by a majority of fifty
nine, The total number eff votes cast
were 303. Anton Watzke, as presi-
dent of the council had no opposition,
nor did Samuel Larson, for village
treasurer, Arthur McConville as street
commissioner and D. T. Wheaton as
assessor. The votes on the contested
ones stood as follows:
H. L. Smith, 200; W. L. Colyer,
2O6; Louis Thoele, 1877; Thomas
Thomasson, 20S; S. j. Stebbins, l0l;
o. G. Hanson, So; A. DeKay, 81; S.
Stewart, 80; the four highest being
elected.
For Justice of the peace, A. L.
Stenger, 1875; J. D. Gillespie, 102. In
favor of license, 179; against license,
100.
thus ended one OF the hottest con-
tested elections ever held in the city,
with exception Of the Nelson Kindred
fight, which has no equal.
The strictly no license ticket put
up through malice and revenge was
strictly not in it from the start to
finish. Evidently the people have
been hoodwinked long enough and
called halt

for learning and booklore, not ambition
to throw off the menial's yoke and Le-
come a ruler among men, that had
urged him forward to success and eleva-
tion. 1t was the true love of woman,
love that came into the untutored heart
and fancy free brain of the country boy
the first day he stood behind the chair
of the countess. And now he cravcd
his reward. The lonely man impiored
her to share his fate.
Tears flowed from the girls eyes
Her lips tremblcd with excitement.
The pages dropped from her fingers,
and her eyes wandered out into the
twilight mists.
The Duke 'Ugelli rode 10y and sa-
lntcd. She loved that man. He, too,
had asked her to become his wife.
Countess Lida sought her father in
his study and confessed her love for
the aristocrat and her deep respect for
the plebeian scientist. She deputed
her father to carry to the latter her re-
fusal of his honest and honored suit.
Christian Marriott said not a word
Shortly afterward he went to Africa in
the interest of science and at the head
of a scientific commission.
Countess Lida Minsterhaven, after
all, was not married to the Duke
d'Ugelli. Although she was countess,
her patent of nobility was not formid-
able enough for the old duke and the
young dukes brothers.
Several years afterward the countess,
now 80 and still handsome, married q
plebeian physician, who had returned
from Africa after rendering science an
extremely valuable service.
1t was happy union, for the aristo-
cratic lady had learned to love the erst-
while groom, who for love Of her had
mastered the world

CARD PLAYING.

Possibly no other invention has ever
given rise to so much merriment anl
sorrow, has called forth so many smiles,
trowns, and tears, and has been the
agent in so many tragedies, rs a pack
of cards The source of this invention
still remains mystery, the generally
accepted story of origin being that in
1898 cards were introduced at the
French court as a diversion for King
Charles VI during his temporary at
tacks ofinsanity. From this date they
spread rapidly through every country
in Europe, and received such a warm
welcome from all classes that laws had
to be made for the better regulation of
dice throwing and card playing.
During theCommonwealth card play
inc shared the Punishment of every
other amusement, but with the restored
monarchy a reaction set in, and heavy
play became the fashion. Basset and
ombre were the games most in favor
at court, and in the graphic picture
given by Evelyn of the last Sunday
spent by King Charles ii. at White
hall he speaks of "at least $4,000 in
gold," on the basset table round which
"about twenty of the great courtiers'
:. re sitting. Ombre was also a court
game. Waller has poem son a card
torn at ombre by the Queen" Pope,
also, in "The Rape Of the Lock- gives
such faithful description of Belinda's
game that the Hon. DANES Darlington,
writing in the "Universal Magazine
for December, 1888, says: when on
bre is forgotten (and it is almost so al
ready it may be revived with posteri-
tv from that most admirable poem"
In its turn ombre was deposed for
quadrille, and for time no one who
aspired to be counted among the beau
monde condescendcd to play any other
game. Mr.. Urban, in the "Gent'c
mans Magazine for 1876, gives "Cau-
tions against Quadrillc," and warns
"the young and unwary OF both sexes"
against Il most growing vice which if
not timely prevented will end in their
ruin. Il mean he says ''thc great
Increase of Play in private Houses, and
more particularly that artful and cheat
ing game of Qnadrille. QuadriIle was
equally popular in Paris, and a pamph-
let is cxtant dated 1860 OF ''The game
of Quadrille 10y Four as it is now play
ed at the French Court in which it
says, at is allowed by all players that
quadrille is more amusing and enter
tanning than Ombre or any other game
on the cards, either because every Deal
is played out, or that it better suits
the genius of the Ladies, to whom COM
plaisance and good manners must
Prejudice the Gentleman in its favor. :"
Such Il prejudicial hold had this lasci-
mating game taken on women that n
writer o! the day dcplorcs that "women
spend all their time in gambling
Their husbands, children, the duties of
society are, without Qnadrille, weari-
some membranes. QuadriIle is the
joy that gives life, spirit, and bright
ness. For this they hurry over their
meals, and abridge their most agreeable
Refreshments. For ills alone they
visit and are visited

erick Reynolds, he tells us that one Of
the most noted card playing places
near London was Twickenham. and
