STRAIGHT REPUBLICANS WINNER 5

Plattsburg. N. Y, March out Of
nineteen towns in Franklin county, is
are heard from and of these only one
elected Democratic supervisor at yester-
days town elections. The grest issue in
many towns was the fight for prestige be-
tween the regular Republican organiza-
ton and the faction headed by Congress-
man Foote, the latter element joining
with the Democracy in many towns. In
Franklin, Clinton and in Plattsburg
counties, the returns show decided Re-
publican gains.

A GOOD THING FOR THE PEOPLE.

There are thousands OF people, who,
while not exactly sick, are out of order
or ailing in some way. They don't feel
we'll and can't undertand what the
trouble is. You can learn exactly what
ails you, without its costing anything,
by writing a, letter to the noted and sue
cessful specialist. DR.. Greene, of "a lem
pie Place, Boston, Mass, and telling him
just howyou feel. He will explain every
symptom in your case and tell just what
to do to get well. Write him now-do not
delay.

ascertain II any orders have been received hero
at the various Government stations. Tho off,
GERS In charge will give out no information. 1t
Is known, however, that teleRraphic commu-
nication with Washington is being carried on
daily. At tho torpedo station everything is life
and hustle, and the gun cotton and smokeless
powder factories are working to their utmost
capacity.
Tho torpedoes and ammunition for the twenty.
knot torpedo boat Gwin. which was launched at
Bristol to-day, are entirely finished and ready to
be put aboard tho vessel She could be manned
by mon here and put in commission on days
notice.
Work on the defences Of Narragansett Bay is
being pushed as rapidly as material can be So
cured. At Dutch Island. which commands the
western entrance to the bay, everything 10
ready with the exception OF tho guns. tho
carriages arriving some time ago. For the
mortar battery. at Fort Adams nothing has ar
rived, although the mason work 10 practically
completed. Even with these dofences tho tor
gedo station remains unprotected. as the
Government has made no move toward securing
land for the battery on the island Of Conanicut.
