Truancy has become so common in
Chicago that drastic measures are to
be resorted to present it. Habitual
truants, hereafter, will be taken be-
fore the juvenile court, where they
will be given chance to go to school,
with the alternative of attending a
school at the Bridewell.

FOR OR AGAINST THE FLAG.

eff any man hauls down the Ameri-
can flag shoot him on the spot, y and
yet the Democratic party wants to do
that thing in the Philippines. Not
only so but hey comfort and encourage
uot enemies there in their fight
against our soldiers and sailors. In
such circumstances there is only one
thing to do, vote for the party that
upholds the flag and the honor of the
county.
In a recent interview, Ex-senator
Jim Smith, evidently forseeing the
defeat of his party in New Jersey
says:
81 don't attach much Importance
to the Fall elections; they will not
foreshadow the fortunes of next year.
1t is an off year With the exception
of Ohio the elections will not bring
out anything like full vote. In my
own State, New Jersey, for instance,
l don't think more than two-thirds
of the voters will go to the polls.
AS for me | will stand by the plat
form of the party no matter what !
think personally. The platform is
the condensed wisdom of the party
and individual opinion should re-
spect it. To the Chicago platform a
few more planks will be added. "

The nation at large sympathizes
sincerely with Vice President Hobart
and his family. The severe illness of
Mr.. Hobart has served to emphasize
the friendship and esteem in which he
is held by people of every rank in
life, irrespective of their political
affiliations. We still cling to the hope
that Mr. Hobart may recover and
that period Of rest and quiet may
enable him to resume those public
duties which he has hitherto perform
ed with such conspicuous fidelity and
success.

Vote for Samuel |. Garrison for the AS

No Republican can justify himself
in refusing or neglecting to vote on
Tuesday. Such neglect or refusal will
tend to weaken the party for the
Presidential contest next year.
The election of Messrs. Welsh and
Garrison for the Assembly ensures
two votes for Republican State
Comptroller and Treasurer. These
important offices ought to remain in
the hands of Republicans, if it is
desired to continue wise and eco
nomical administration of the States
finances.

The Royal Irish Fusileers are now

A newspaper exerts an influence far
more extensive and lasting than that
which is commonly credited to it.
During the early days of the United
States the power of the press was ap-
parently chiefly in political circles !;
but with the advent of facilities with
which to multiply the circulation of
newspapers and the great advance
made in their excellence as news pur-
veyors they entered the home and soon
began to exercise marked influence
on family life. This influence is
continually increasing; and it is be-
cause of this important fact that the
business world has recognized and ac-
cepted a first class newspapers adj
vertising columns as the most valu-
able agency for the promotion of
mercantile enterprises.

Vote for Charles A. Baker for Sheriff.

There is lot of hysterical nonsense
written with reference to the board
money deducted by the Board of Man
ayers of the Home for Disabled Sol
diers in this county from the pen
sions of the old veterans. The fact is
that deductions for board are only re-
quired of those inmates of the Home
who have no one depending upon
them. Even those who are permanent
residents of the Home, but who have
distant relatives, are not required to
give up any portion of their pension
money unless entirely willing. An
impartial investigation of this matter
will show that the protest against the
action of the Board of Managers is
supported by that element of the
veterans least desirable as inmates of
the Home. Jersey City Journal.

Trenton Correspondent Takes Bright
view Of Rrpubiican Prospects at the Polls.
Trenton, Nov. 3,-Another week
and the din and dust of battle will be
over. Another week and the fight be-
tween the two great political parties
for the control of the State Legisla-
ture and the possession sof important
county offices will be matter of his
tory At the polls next Tuesday the
people Of New Jersey will by their
votes endorse the present State gov
eminent and incidentally express
confidence in the National Adj
ministration. Although there is no
governor or national officers to be
chosen this fall, and although it is
generally conceded that the vote in
many of the counties will be COM
paratively light and that the Demo
Gratis are leading forlorn hope, there
is an Importance attached to next
week S election because of two fea-
lures, viz. that the Senators to be
chosen will have the privilege of cast
ing their ballots for the successor to
United States Senator William J.
Sewell, and secondly that both parties
have put up their strongest tickets,
which fact insures the hottest kind of
a contest

Negro Laborer Run Over by Cars a,
Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge, Nov. s.-About 200 of
the negro laborers imported by the
contractors on the Fort Dodge and
Omaha road from the south TO rush
the completion of the road, were in
the city enroute to their homes in
Mississippi. They had finished their
work on last Saturday and We're paid
off. During their stay in the city they
took the opportunity to supply them
selves with new hats, clothes and tan
shoes, with which to make a showing
upon their return home. After doing
their shopping they made their way
to the Illinois Central depot and while
waiting for their train to be made up
spent the time in good natured amuse-
ment among themselves. Two of them
were engaged in chasing each other
about and while doing SO one of them
crawled under string of cars. He had
not cleared the rail when an engine
struck the cars with a violent bumb,
causing two wheels to pass over one
leg and badly mangling the other.
The man was put on stretcher and
carried to place where he could re-
ceive medical treatment. The company
physician was sent for and it is
thought he will lose both legs.

RAILROAD MEN HELD up.
Found In a Farmers Barn BADLY Cut
to Pieces.

Traer, Nov. IA laborer named Nc
Dermot, on the new railroad, while
walking from town to the camp Sat
urday evening was held up and cut up
in a terrible manner when about three
miles from town. He claims two men
whom he met on the road knocked him
down and robbed him. When he at
tempted to defend himself they attack
ed him with, knives. A part of his nose
was cut off and a hole cut through the
cheek, exposing the jaw bone and
teeth. He became unconscious and
was discovered twelve hours later in
4 barn by the roadside. He was
brought to Traer. where his wounds
were dressed. 1t is thought he will
recover. A man named Tiel, from
Reinbeck, was visiting near the scene
of the hold-up Saturday. He met a
couple of tough looking characters who
wanted him to go into his friends
house and get them something to eat.
They gave him drink of liquor
which had been drugged and later stole
his watch. The watch, it transpires,
was found in the coat of the man who
claims to have been held UP and rob-
bed. The officers are trying to unravel
the mystery. 1t looks like a case of
thief robbing thief.
