Progressive Burglary.

Beverly Bronze Turkey Dorsey of

Paris -Kentuckian-C Citizen Office a few
days ago, and while in reminiscent
mood told this startling story: mot
long ago had wire fence erected on
my place, and along in the night some
enterprising thief or thieves came
along and stole it, posts and all. I had
also cut down large tree, and cut
two big gate posts from it. Fearing
these would be stolen also, / set boy
with rife to guard them. One night
the boy sat on one of the logs and fell
asleep. The thieves returned, drove a
pin in the log, hitched team of hors-
es to it, and drew 1t out, leaving the
boy asleep on the bark which had for
merly inclosed the log. When the lad
awoke it was to find himself perched
high In the air on the outside covering
Of bark, and both my gate posts were
gone. How's that for progressive bur-
glary?"

A TOOTH OF GOLD.
The Truthful Narration of Dentist
Who Knew His Business.

The Truthful Narration of a Dentist
Who Knew His Business.
The man in the chair of torture was
demonstrating with the doctor of den-
tai surgery.
That's all right" said the dentist,
but you are foolish not to let me
build that tooth up with gold for you."
whats the use? 1t will cost me
forty dollars, you say, and l cannot af-
ford to eat my five-dollar-a-week
board with forty dollar tooth. 1t is
too much dead capital"
"Is it?" smiled the dentist. Listen
to a story About ten years ago l was
trying to make living in the west in
partnership with a fellow who wasn't
any luckier than l was. We worked
around to the north, where the winters
are bad as they are in the Klondike,
and our funds kept getting low
er and lower until starvation sat
down to table with us. The weather
was getting colder, too, and the last
wagon train out was booked for the
following Sunday, then two days away.
1t was our last chance, for to remain
there for the four months till the trail
was open meant death. sure. The
price to go with the train was twenty
five dollars each. Just what twenty
five dollars amounts to you will never
know until you need it as badly as we
did.
I'VE hadn't a cent on earth and
nothing to put up to get one with. 1t
was indeed cold day for both of us.
BY Saturday noon we had given up all
hope of getting out, and had retired to
our shanty to drown our sorrows in a
quart OF whisky we had discovered, no
matter how. AS we sat gazing in stu
pid despair at each other with the full
bottle between us, my partner grinned
a ghastly grin and the CLEAN OF the
gold in his filled teeth caught my eye.
l concealed my feelings and quietly
asked him how many teeth he had fill
ed. He told me there were six, and
one Of them was nearly solid gold
tooth and had cost him fifty dollars.
In q minute I had communicated my
idea to him, and in another minute
had my tools, for l had been studying
dentistry then, at work in his mouth,
digging away like miner. 1t was a
rich field, and in half an hour l had
out every bit of gold in those teeth Of
his and had beaten it up into a wad
that we took TO the owner of saloon
who knew what raw gold was worth.
He looked it over and offered sixty dol
lars for the wad.
My partner kept his mouth shut
and so did I, and when the train moved
out with its wagons next day we had
our place in the front row and five
dollars apiece spending money. Six
months later we struck luck and I fill
ed my partners teeth and never
charged him a cent"
go on with mine," said the man in
the chair, "and charge me the same"

QUAY Will MAKE THE RUN
He Announces His Candidacy
to Succeed Himself.
HIS FOES FORCE THE ISSUE
The Pennsylvania senator Says 1t In
imperative He Should Make the
formation of Attempted Bribery
by His Focs-Wnnamnker's Claim.

Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-United States
Senator Quay announces his candidacy
for reelection to the United States Sem
ate. He left the city at p. m. this ev-
ening for Washington. Before his de-
parture, he gave out a signed statement
in which he says:
There has never been such contest
in Pennsylvania or any other common
wealth. Those engaged in the warfare
against the Republican candidates and
against those conspicuous In the councils
of the party cast issues and principles to
the four winds and the contest was
man-hunt, pure and simple.
Despite the extraordinary efforts to
defeat Republican candidates for the leg
isiature, which have been successful In
a number of counties. the general assem-
bly, will be overwhelmingly Republican,
the political complexion of the two bodies
being as follows: neutrality-suspicious.
3s: Democrats, u. House-Republicans
l27: Democrats. "a; Independents, 3.
The legislature will comprise there
FORE 165 Republicans, Sc Democrats and
3 Independents, Republican majority
on joint ballot of 70. or nearly two-thirds.
Regarding the United States senator
ship, | can only say this: All of my
friends have been aware of my personal
antipathy TO another term in the Senate,
but those prominent in the late crusade
against the Republican State and legisia-
| tive candidates chose to force the issue.
They have made it imperative that
shall be a candidate for reelection.
''The result is in the hands of the Re-
publican members of the incoming legis-
lature, a very large proportion of whom
are my political and personal friends. OF
the result there can be no possible doubt.
Enormous sums of money were used in
the campaign to defeat Republican legis-
| lative candidates have no doubt efforts
will be made to tamper with some of the
members-elect, but they will not be sue
cessful. Should, however, any attempt
be made to bribe legislators-elect, the
same leniency will not be shown as in
the Van Valkenburg case.
THAT there may be no mistake regard
ing my position in this matter l hereby
offer a reward of $4,000 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
anyone endeavoring to bribe any State
senator or representative-elect."
Senator Quay's defiant challenge sets
| all doubt at rest as to the character OF
| the approaching senatorial fight in Penn
| syIvania, and It seems TO indicate that
| Martin and McGee will contribute their
influence to his support.
The Wanamaker managers confidently
| claim that there are l59 members of the
senate and house at the session of 1885,
who are distinctly anti-Quay in their SEN
timent, giving the Quay opposition a
clear majority of 81.

STILL COMING RETURNS.
President Agnfn Sits Up Late to
Read Bulletins.

The President again sat up until a late
hour in the telegraph Office at the White
House last night, consulting the fates
through the medium of the telegraph
tickers and telephones.
Mr.. Mckinley had been more or less
doubtful all day of the figures furnished
him from the sliding scale of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee, and
he therefore fingered during the candle
light hours to learn the very latest and
have his doubts dispelled.
Chairman Babcock had undertaken the
contract of keeping the President posted
on the full and final results of Tuesdays
elections, and he has kept the White
House wires hot with tips and kilograms.
Just before the President retired last
night he received a bulletin which was in
tended to induce perfect repose for the
night. It stated that there would be
1S5 Republican members in the next
House, which will give that party a ma
jority of thirteen. the unlucky number
the world over. Also that but two doubt
full districts remained to be heard from
the Third California and Twelfth Texas.
Secretary Porter and Col. Montgomery
were with the President last night while
he was being apprised of the claims of
his party managers.

the districts as are yet in dispute which
turn out to have elected Democrats.
Senator Smith has Just telephoned me,
he continued that Couvery has defeated
Howell in the Third New Jersey district
that it is ours. We will have one district
in Pennsylvania and one in New YORK
counted this morning for the Republicans.
Then there is Hawley's district in Texas:
his majority is getting mighty small and
/ expect it will disappear altogether be-
fore tomorrow. How many Republicans
did YOU say were elected in Indiana?"
The reporter had mentioned nine as the
Republican claim and repeated that fig
ure.
We'll. when the votes are canvassed.
said Secretary Kerr, you will find that
we have elected Hammell in the Fifth dis
trict making five in all. leaving the Re-
publcans but eight. l think the same
thing will be shown to be true in the San
Francisco district represented by Mr..
Loud and which he is reported to have
carried again. My impression is that MT.
Craig, the Fusion Democratic candidate,
has been elected. But l don't count any
of these in my list of $50 sure enough
Democratic and Populist members
Last evening, just before he closed
headquarters. Secretary Kerr. reiterated
his assertion that the next House would
be Democratic.
He received a telegram last night stat
ing that the Fifteenth Illinois dist let
had gone Democratic. Mr.. Kerr was not
willing to concede anything TO the Re-
publicans and said he declined to accept
MIR Babcock's figures or claims until he
received definite information from his
own people.
AS long as they persisted in claiming
that they had carried their respective dis
tricts. he intended to accept their state
ments rather than the claims of the op-
position.
Mr.. Kerr said that If the Democrats did
not control the next House 1t would be
due entirely to the loss of districts IN
the West which they had counted on as
being reliably Democratic
The Republicans. he said. had gained IL
the West where they expected tn iose
and lost in the East where they Up cte1
to win. while the Democrats mads unfore'
seen gains in the East and unexpected
losses in the West. Mr.. Kerr said thai
the reason for this dated from a remote
period. but declined TO discuss 1t.
