THE TIDE BEGINS TO TURN.
Mondays elections are full Of
cheer to democrats. They were held
throughout Ohio and Michigan. The
returns chow that in every city, vii.
lage and hamlet throughout these
two states the democrats have made
remarkable gains. From Cincinnati
and Detroit the triumphs won by
the democratic party are particularly
marked.
In the former city Gus Tafel, a
staunch democrat, was elected mayor
by majority of 1920 aud the ticket
he headed was elected without a
break. When il is considered that
McKinley's plurality of 10000 was
overcome by the above vote it will
be seen that the democratic gain in
Cincinnati made during the past
four months has been nearly $4,000.
In Detroit, the Gibraltar of repub
licanism in Michigan, the democrats
elected their candidate for mayor by
more than 1000 majority, defeating
Pingree's man, Capt. Albert Stewart,
who was thought to be invincible
At Hamilton, O., and GAINESVILLE,
o., and in many other towns the
democrats have gained sweeping vic
tories. These are not merely ground
swells, they are rising pillows that
show the tide has turned and is car
rying the democracy toward the port
of victory, which will be won two
years hence in the congressional
elections and repeated at the Presi
dental campaign in 1900.

Rockville.
Nevada Nail, end.
Yesterday afternoon a man resid.
ing at Rockville was hele in search
of some men wanted at his town for
passing counterfeit money. He hunt
ed up Chief of Police w. ". Hill, to
whom be stated that three men had
worked business men at Rockville
on raised bills. The scheme was to
change one dollar bill to FIVE.
This was done by erasing the figure
one and pasting figure five over it
The man, whose name MIR. Hill could
not recall, had one of the counterfeit it
bills. 1t was first rate counterfeit
but close inspection showed where
the figure had been erased.
Yesterday afternoon three strange
men appeared at Walker One of
them excited suspicion by walking
into the bank and asking for twenty
two dollar bills. He was given all
the bills of that denomination on
hand, but he was also watched. He
was seen to be joined by two other
men, and the trio proceeded toward
Nevada.
City Marshal Wade of Walker fol.
lowed them to- haystack on the Joe
Davis farm and arrested them. A
search Of the haystack revealed a
bottle of oxalic acid, small phial of
government printing ink used in
printing bank notes, and some other
paraphanslia nece ssary 10 the work
of counterfeitlng.
The men with their outfit were at
once taken to Rockville and turned
over to the st. Clair county authori.

HARRISON IN A WALK.

More Votes for Harrison Than for Combined
Opposition Victory for SiIver-Labor
Men Disguised With Republican
Campaign Promises.
Chicago, ILL.,, April 6.-Carter H.
Harrison, democratic candidate for
Mayor, swept this city, receiving a
plurality of $4,000 over Harlan, in
dependent, the second candidate in
the fight, and 10000 over Sears,
republican. Harrison's leading op-
ponents were Washington Hesing,
gold democrat; Judge Nathaniel
Sears, regular republican nominee,
and John NJ. Harlan, Independent
reform candidate, who was backed
by the Civic Federation and the
Municipal League.
OF the thirty four Aldermen, the
returns point to the election of 26
democrats, four republicans and four
independents. Three of these inde
pendents are democrats, who wers
put on the ticket by petition.
Harrison gained heavily in the
banner republican wards, carrying
Thirty fourth by 5,O19 against 4.281
for Harlan, and 3,434 for Sears
This ward gave Mckinley a majority
of 5000 last fall. The Third, Fourth
and Twelfth wards, always rerubli
can strongholds, were also carried
by Harrison.
At the last Nayorallty election
Swift's vote was 143,173 against
124,294 for Water, democrat. In th'
Presidential election Mckinley ha6
2OO,747 against 144,736 for Bryan
The overwhelming majority receiv
ed by Harrison can be attributed tt
several causes, each of which ii
recognized as potent. But the fac
that Harrison received a clear ma
jority of the votes cast shows tha
the result is largely attributable t.
the protest against republican meth

Rich Hill Review
Friday night at 9:45 o'clock, after
Mr.. Fayette Bell and family, who
reside IN the extreme southwest part
of town had gone to bed and were
asleep, they were awakened by
neighbors crying fire. MIR. and Mrs
Bell and two of their children were
sleeping upstairs, the house being q
story and half high. Mr.. Bell
sprang from his bed, and was hor
ror stricken to find the entire eastern
portion of his home on fire.
By this time the wife and children
who were down stairs were at his
side and they had scarcely time to
leave their bed chambers with only
their night clothing on before the
entire building was enveloped in
flames. No thought had been given
to the three daughters who were
up stairs until this moment, and
then it was found that all escape by
the stairway was cut off by the
flames. The gi,ls had been awaken
ed by the noise however, and soon
made their appearance at an up
stairs window. They were called to
to jump and, raising the window,
two of them obeyed and leaped to
the ground. The third daughter,
Cora, aged II years, seemed crazed
with fright, and instead of jumping,
ran back into the house She made
her appearance twice at the window,
and tnen ran and leaped onto the
bed, which was ablaze The house
went up like a flash, and few mo.
ments later the charred body of the
child was raked out of the smoul
deripg nbers Both legs We're en-
tirely burl e1 eff at the knees and
the blackenad object, we are told,

The parents and othec relatives
were driven almost wild with grief.

are told, came to his death in a

the knowledge, that SO many forms o.
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant

" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
