some moments, but now, looking around
at this startling interruption, l saw him
upright, his rams unfettered, the gag out
of his mouth. Foraninstant he stood
there poised, and then sprang into the
river.
ITO your oars, man! This life or
death!' sang out the spy. And l I'M
derstood him.
We pulled on for our lives, knowing
they must stop to pick him up. Yet the
chance was small enough. What was
the surprising part was that when they
had drawn him out of the river they did
not seem to be hurried. They came af-
ter us, to be sure, but not so briskly as
they might

| did not think of that then. Freedom
for which | had fought so hard was Of
import enough to make me forget all else,
Not till some time after, when we ground
ed under the cliff on our own side of the
river, and we were walking as briskly
as we could toward Maj. Lees pickets,
did | remember, aud ask:
What did you mean by that Prin-
gle?"
The colonel, sir, told them the truth,
and that they should let us get away"
Let us get away?' l asked.

At last l said:
Il don't see why l should report this
Then he cried out:
why, bless you, Capt. Mordaunt, l

The cobbler's thin, wiry figure seemed
to me to take on herioc proportions, as
we walked there together in that still,
dark hour. If he had lost me my pris-
oner, the prisoner equally had let me
escape. And. in fact, when the matter
was reported at headquarters, without
an eXtenuating clause, the same view
was taken of it, and Pringle was contin-
ued in the service with the rank of ser
geant.
SO the account ends as abruptly as it
began; but it may show, perhaps, the
characters of the runaway prisoner; of
the old tory, and of the spy, who, de-
spite the usage of war, could not forget
fayor-even though granted by politi-
cal enemy.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is tor
pod and sluggish and the need of tonic
and alternative is felt. A prompt use Of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton, Dizziness yield to electric Bitters.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
The lola Manufacturing Company Pre-
pared to Receive Orders.
BIGGER THAN PLANNED.

The main building of the lola Man
ufacturing Company is completed
and the machinery for the plainng
mill is all in place except the engine
which is now on the road. When il
arrives and is installed the Company
will be ready to begin work. One
car load of poplar and one of cypress
are here now and other material fol
filling any orders that may come is
on the way. Work on the cast iron
foundry is proceeding rapidly and
will be completed before cold wealth
er.
The original plan contemplated
only a planning mill and cast iron
foundry. But the Company has late
ly determined to include a malleable
iron foundry also, and an additional
building will be erected for this. Mr..
Isaac RudOlfson, of Connecticut, an
expert iron worker of many years ex-
perience has been engaged to superin-
tend and is here now to direct the
construction of the building. There
is now no mslleable iron foundry near
er than st. Louis, and the Company
expects that this will be one of the
most profitable of their departments,
the saving in the cost of fuel alone
being sufficient to pay handsome
dividends.
The members of the Company are
enthusiastic over the big business
which they feel is assured for their
undertaking, and there is every
reason for expecting that within a
few weeks the plant of the lola Manu-.
featuring Company will be one of the
busiest and most interesting places
about the city.

SURELY COMING.
Lemen Brothers Worlds Monster Shows

Every man, woman or child who
knows anything about circuses, and
who ever saw Lemen Brothers.
Worlds Monster Shows, will be de-
lighted to know that the big shows,
in all their magnificence and exalted
grandeur, will surely exhibit at lola
on Friday, Oct. l, and precede both
exhibitions with the grandest morn
ing street parade ever seen since
parades were first exploited. In the
great shows will be seen several new
features which cannot be seen else
where. Those who have seen the
monster Bovalapus pronounce it the
greatest, the strangest and most
unique marvel to which the deep
ocean ever gave birth. The shaggy,
fierce, though beautiful, hOrse-riding
lion; Rajah, the biggest born of
brutes, taller. longer, cost more than
the wOrld-famOus JumbO-the very
lord of beasts, and is worth the price
OF admission alone. The Roman Hip
pOdrOme, an exact reproduction of the
Corse of ancient Rome, and the mod
ern races attached to it, are at once
exciting, exhilerating, and in all
things equal to the best races run on
a modern race course. The circus,
which consists of one hundred and
fifty superior acts, given by one hun
dred superior arenic stars, requires
three full hours in which to give
them.
The Menagerie will be a delightful
study for all, because it comprises
more wild, tame and strange beasts
than our people have ever had an
opportunity to see. This show is
great in everything and small in
nothing.

how hard it must be for Pop to work

LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.

4 political campaign in which no
principles are at stake is unworthy
the support of any American citizen.
No matter how iTreprOachable the
candidates may be personally, if they
represent no we'll defined political
idea, if their election would mean
nothing except their individual gain,
the contest in their behalf must be a
sOrdid struggle for spOils only. The
Republican candidates in this cOun-
try stand as the representatives of a
great National party with we'll de-
fined principles which have been
steadily adhered to, through defeat
as well as through success, for more
than a generation. Our candidates
have been and now are consistent
and conscientious advocates of these
principles, and their success would
therefore be the vindicatiOn of cause,
not of selfish personal triumph. But
what cause could claim a vindication
from the election of the fusion candi-
dates? What political principle do
they represent? There were never
two parties in American politics more
completely antagOnistic at every vital
point than the two parties represent
ed on this ticket. There is no essen
tial principle of governmental policy
that they hold in common. Is it pos
sible then for them to fuse without
deliberately abandoning all prinei-
pie? Do they not virtually proclaim,
by the very fact of their fusion, that
they hold the spoils high above any
principle they profess? On what
other possible ground can Popuiist
justify his vote for a Democrat. or a
Democrat for a PopuIIst? If your
vote is to mean anything in this cam
paign, it must be cast for the candi-
dates of the Republican party.
Representative Republicans from
every township in the county have
been in the REGISTER office within
the past three weeks, and without
exception they have reported that
the ticket gave good satisfaction and
would poll the full party vote. Re-
publicans are enthusiastic over the
complete vindicatiOn of their most
sangUine hopes by the events of the
past year, and there is every reason
to look for rousing majority in No
vember. Let every man of us get to
work and see if we cannot make that
majority reach the high water mark.
-
The Republican campaign in Allen
county this fall will be, as it has al
ways been, a campaign of argument
and persuasion, not a campaign of
Misrepresentation and abuse. Re-
publicans sincerely believe that the
triumph of Republican principles will
bring the greatest good to the great

DO FISHES SUFFER PAINT

All fishes have nerves, and In some
respects fishes are extremely sensitive.
A fish that has buried itself In sand or
mud SO completely that only the up
of its tail lin is above the bottom Will
feel upon the slightest touch and In
stantly dart out of It's sandy Deo. A
fish Is very sensitive to movements In
the water surrounding 1t. A shadow
falling upon the water will startle u
fish into flight. But sensitive as fishes
are In some respects, it Is probable
that they do not suffer pain from In
jurieS received.
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. A fish that has in pursuit OF
prey run its nose against Il rock might
shake its head violently, perhaps In
pain: but fishes sustain serious intur-
les from actual wounds without show
ing any indication of pain. In fact. the
Indications tend to show that they do
not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an
angler, but has escaped, perhaps car
rying OFF the hook in It's mouth, may
few minutes afterward bite again at
another hook. Such instances are not
infrequcnt In such cases the hook
would probably be concealed by the
bait and the fish would not be likely to
see II. but the fact that 1t Is ready to
take the bait shows that 1t is continu-
ing to feed. which 1t would scarcely be
| likely to do if II We're suffering great
pain. A shark from whose body all
the yisccra had been removed contin
ued to feed.
Sensitive as fishes are about the
nose. many of them use the nose in
pushing stones and gravel about In
building nest for the female to
spawn in The salmon notoriously Of
ten wear, its snout down to the bone
in excavating n cavity for nest, and
often wears of Its tail to mere stub
in brushing out stones and gravel. Yet
such fishes frequently recover from
their Injuries and return to the ocean.
Timid and sensitive as fishes are In
some respects, they fight one another
vigorously In such fights they may
receive injuries that might be de-
scribed MS terrible. To these injuries
they may pay So little attention that
after the fight is over they 20 on with
their feeding or with whatever occu-
patton they have been engaged in. In
iurics which would throw n human
being into a state of hclplcssness do
not interrupt the current of fish life.
The fish may aftcrward die from its
injuries. but apparently 1t does not
suffer pain from them.
Fishes sometimes survive injuries of
remarkable chafIcter. The stomach
of a captured goldfish was found to be
pierced 10y spine Of n ilounder which
1t had swallowed. The sharp thorn
like spine projected about half an inch
beyond the outer walls Of the stomach
into the fshs body. Apparently the
Goldfish had suffered no Inconvenience
from this. The wound caused by the
spine had healed around it. and the
Goldfish was fat and in good condition
