reduce the whole system to a condition of
weakness and debility. The wonderful
success of Hoods S~arsaparilla In curing
catarrh is due to it's power to purify the
blood. By eradicating all scrofulous taints

HARRISBURG, Jan. 26,-Deputy Attorney
General Elkin has given an opinion to
Secretary Reeder constituting section 10 of
the ballot law of 1893 as amended by tho
act of June 26, 1885, in reference to the
publishing of the general election procla-
nation. Under the act of 1893 the sheriff
In many counties published facsimile of
the official ballot. The act of 1885 amends
section 10 of the act of 1893, and the uues-
tion arises whether it is necessary under
the provisions of the latter act to publish
fac-simile of the official ballot. Mr. FL
kin holds that it is not. 81 am of the
opinion, therefore," he says, that the
general election proclamation under the
act of 1896 does not require II fac snile of
the official ballot to be published therein,
but such proclamation must contain an
enumeration of the officers to be elected,
and give list of all nominations made as
provided by law and to be voted for in
each county. The form in which this
proclamation shall be published can be
decided upon by the sheriff and other
officials entrusted with the execution of
the laws

Have Been Married In q Few Weeks
SHAMOKIN, Pa, Jan. 26.-While Fred.
erick Graeber and Miss Maud Gothic were
driving along the public road half mile
east of this place during the night the
earth caved in, and they were precipitated
into an abandoned mine working, The
woman jumped from the carriage, but
was unable to reach solid ground She
fell into the opening, and was buried be-
meath the EARTH Mr. Graeber remained in
the carriage and sustained compound
fracture of one log, and it Is believed that
the other limb is broken. Both horses
were crushed to death.
Searching parties were unable to locate
the couple until o'clock in the morning.
Miss Gothie's body was horribly bruised
and death must have been Instantaneous.
Both of Mr.. Graeber's feet were frozen,
and he was almost dead from exposure,
as he had laid for ten hours with the
thermometer below zero with no cover
ing. 1t is feared that he cannot recover.
Mr.. Graeber is 25 years of age, and
wealthy Miss Gothic was 1s years of
age. They were to have been married
within few weeks. The cave is thirty
feet deep.
Mr.. Graeber rallied sufficiently to relate
the following version of the accident He
said: when the team went into the hole
Maud was thrown on the opposite side
from me, and I suppose she must have
been killed, as she was buried beneath n
mass of loose earth, and did not answer
my agonizing cries. Feeling sharp pain
in my right leg released it, and found
that the bone had penetrated the flesh
near the ankle. Fearing that | might
bleed to death tied my handkerchief
above the wound, and then twisted my
watch chain tight over 1t with my KEYS.
That stopped the bleeding, and few mo-
ments later another fall occurred burying
me up to my breast"
1t was found that Miss Gothe's neck
had been broken, and it is expected that
Mr.. Graeber will sink rapidly after the
reaction sets in, as he is almost crazed
with grief over the tragic death of his
sweetheart.
