A Two Months Canvass.

4
of the county assembled in front of the
the Court House last Saturday morning
and stood around talking to each other
until the rain drove them into the Court
House corridor.
At p NJ. they began assembling in
the hall in the Youukins building. and
half an hour later County Chairman
Mccullough called the meeting to order
and calling of the roll showed that
only about half Of the regularly elected
Committeeman were present, but NUM-
Der of substitutions were ma de, some of
whom had proxies and some not, and
these substitutes probably controlled
the action of the meeting.
Chairman Mccullough announced
that the object of the meeting was to
fix the time for holding the Primary.
J. p. Cunningham of Clinton asked
for an expression from the candidates,
as also did DR. Thomas of Fairview.
Harry Caldwell of Bruin said he had
spoken to number of candidates and
that they all, with one exception, favor
ed an early primary, and therefore ne
suggested, Tuesday, March 2S, from !
7P. NJ, as the time, the Return Judges
to meet next day.
CaIdwell's suggestion was put in the
form Of a motion, and Cunningham
moved to amend by substituting the
first Saturday in May.
This brought up the question of Sat
urd ay or Tuesday, and G. NJ. Brown of
Harrisville moved to substitute the Sat
urday preceding the time named by
Caldwell, and argued for Saturday.
John Womer defended the time fixed
by his resolution of last year. He cited
the vote Of last year-one of the largest
ever east-said he did not want to be
questioned at Sunday School and
Church regarding the election that
this was question Of morals-that if
certain County Chairman referred to
by another speaker had kept his office
closed on Sunday it would not have
been crowded with men seeking election
news, etc.
Last years resolution was read, and
J. S. Campbell of Cherry moved to re
affirm it. Cunningham, Brown and
Starr favored Saturday as matter of
conveinence-al motions and amend
nr naWnlf
moved to hold the next Primary on
Saturday; Caldwell spoke for Tuesday
and Locke for Saturday, and the mo
tion for Saturday carried by vote of
20 to Is.
Then Geo Cooper moved to have the
Primary on Saturday, March 25tb,
from / to p. NJ j. B. Cunningham
moved to amend by making it the frs.
Saturday in May; County Chairman
Mccullough ruled Cunningham 8
amendment out Of order and the rising
vote as announced was 81 for March %,
and IS opposed
Then Harlan Book moved that the
Return Judges meet in Butler on the
following Tuesday; DR.. DeWolf amend
ed to Monday-and De Wolfs amend
ment was accepted and carried.
Why DeWolf's amendment was con
sidered and Cunningham ruled out is
an open question.
The time allowed a little over two
months is entirely too short for any
man not in the most vigorous Of health
TO make canvass Of the county, dur
ing the winter months.
Two prospective candidates have al.
ready given it up and publish their
cards Of withdrawal.

1S44-Garret A. FIobart-1S9s.


There were never gathered in New Jer-
sey, and seldom in any part Of the
United States, so many mourners of emf
nence In the nation. They represented
distinct stages of our national life, COM
bining the history of tremendous civil
strife, now buried, with the marvellous
record of progress following the days of
Lincoln, and marking the epochs that
came with the Iamented Garfield and the
living President Mckinley
In the thrOng We're senators from states
that were territories before the war and
for years afterward. There were Hoar,
of Massachusetts,, representing the old,
and BeVeridge, of Indiana, representing
the new, in national life. There were
John w. Daniel, of Virginia, represent
ing the Confederate soldier, and Hawley,
of Connecticut, standing as a type of the
Union veteran, each of them today as
senators mourning the loss of their pre-
siding officer. There was Jones, of Ar
kansas, arm-in-arm with Frye, of Maine
From every state came men of broad
culture and prominence in national af-
fairs, to honor the memory of the Illus
trlous American whose acknowledged
ability had won him foremost place
among men of the time. More than
three-fifths Of the senate and nearly
half of the members of the house of rep
resentatives were in the church, with the
governors of one-third of them. Before
the body arrived at the church the mem
bers Of the house of representatives and
of the senate, distinguished men of the
nation and of New Jersey, legislators and
supreme court were seated.
The church floral decorations were mag
njficent A band of snilax, over three
feet wide, and thick enough to hide the
wall, ran around both sides and the front
Of the main auditorium. Above the win
dows the wreath ran ;unbroken before
the pipes of the great organ. At the
windows giant palms reached UP to
the smilax. These palms and the fes-
looming around the windows were laden
with white flowers. principally lilies of
the valley, orchids and chrysanthemums
Around the rector's pulpit lilies were
strewn in lavish profusion. The fonts
before the pulpit were covered with

EXCITEMENT AT YANKTON.
A Defauiting Official and Bank Fail
ure Stirs the Town.

YANKTON, S. D., Nov. ENLIGHTENMENT
runs high as a result Of Jhs defalcation
of County Treasurer Peterson and the
failure of the Yankton Savings bank
The county commissioners examined the
treasurer's records and found him about
$4,000 short, of which amount the books
showed about $1,000 in the Yankton Saw
inSs bank Whereupon the commissioners
made demand on the bank for that
sum, only to be refused by the cashier,
who Immediately closed the doors OF the
bank.
1t has developed that the treasurer dur
ing the last few months, paid some $15,-
600 in the redemption of warrants, but
did not cancel them. He would then go to
some bank or a person having money for
investment, and sell the warrants. Peo-
pie locked upon 1t as a good investment
at per cent interest. If the courts hold,
and there is little doubt but what they
will, that the warrants are paid, then
neither the county nor the bOndsmen will
lose by the defalcation, except the
amount in excess of the warrants paid
and not Cancelled. The holders of counts
warrants are not protected by the law
as are holders of promissory notes pur-
chased before due, without notice, but on
the contrary a county warrant once paid
is always paid, no difference how inno-
cent the purchaser may have been in
acquiring the warrant
1t seems doubly strange that men Of
acknowledged business ability would buy
warrants of a county treasurer, without
first thoroughly investigating the matter,
and especially so, when the law prohibits
the treasurer from specializing in county
warrants. Nothing can be learned as to
the whereabouts of Peterson, he having
been last seen in Sioux City, To-, the day
following his departure

Mrs. Hobart there were no visitors this
morning to Carroll hall, except the inl-
mediate relatives of the family. The
body of the vice president rested in its
casket of oak on the catafalque in the
library. His right hand rested lightly on
his breast, and held bunch of violets
placed there by his widow. On the coffin
was a bunch of Gala lilies, a sheaf of
palm and some smilax and roses. Around
the room were many floral tributes, con-
spicuous among them being several pieces
from the White house conservatory. The
coffin lid bore the inscription

FRANKFORT. Ky, Nov. 25.-The court
of appeals today clinched Taylor's right
to ], 1877 Nelson county votes. The court,
all the judges concurring, refused to dis
solve the injunction as asked by Geobels
attorneys. The votes in controversy
were certified for w. p, instead of w. S.
Taylor. Judge Jones, of Nelson county,
ordered these votes counted for w. S.
Taylor, and this order is affirmed.
The Democratic leaders now assert that
Goebel win not contest before the legis-
lature If he is not given the certificate

point, as the statement that he would
not contest has never been made by
Goebel hlmslf
Yesterday was the last day under which
contests could be filed against the Re-
publican members-elect to the legislature

filed against members of the house and
three in the senate is regarded as an
indication that the Democrats are do
ing this as a precautionary measure to

Senator Goebel was reinforced today by

be here to hear the ruling of the election
committee.
Gov. Bradley still maintains a guard
at the state arsenal, and it is said that
the war department was never so fully
equipped with shooting material. The
governor himself absolutely refuses to
disclose his position, but the movements
of Adjt. Gen. Collier which are supposed
to be under his direction, indicate that
he is preparing to take some kind Of Wig
orous action, and the prospects for
trouble seem to be growing as the day of
final settlement approaches.

A REASON FOR IT.
There Is Only One Pile Cure That
Has Reached II National Popular
ity and Reputation.

mere Is only One Pile Cure Tint
Has Reached II National PopuIar-
ity and Reputation.
There are many popular medicines that
are known in every household in Amer
lea.
There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics
headache remedies, dyspepsia cures and
= cough cures, which are sold in every
drug store in The nation and beyond.
But all of these must divide their nom
ularity with many rivals, no one remedy
has the field to itself, with the single
exception of pile cures, for 1t Is a sin
gular fact that there is but one pile cura
that can be considered as having a ma
tonal reputation, without a rival. and
the referred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure
which for seven years has steadily work
ed into the public favor by reason of its
extraordinary merit, until it is known
from Maine to California, and from Mani
toba to the gulf.
1T is true there are many pile remedies
having small local reputation for
year or two, but the Pyramid Pile Cure
has rapidly supplanted them all and real
ly has the field to itself when ANYTHING
like national popularity is considered
The explanation Is simple. 1t is be-
cause piles is in no sense an imaginary
trouble that a bread pill or a simple
salve or ointment will cure, but an OBJ
stinate, painful and often dangerous
trouble, and a remedy to give satisfaction
must posst SIS positive and very apparent
merit person suffering from piles will
not experiment for months with rem
edy; 1t must give relief and a cure in
short order or II Is condemned.
The worst cases of piles are relieved on
the first application of the Pyramid. and
a cure will result in a reasonable time
from its regular use.
Medical men use 1t in preference to
operations because it is safer, is perfectly
painless and the cost to patient is a mere
trifle, as all druggists sell the Pyramid
Pile Cure at soc, and as it IS used at
night, 1t cures without interfering with
regular occupo ton.
If suffering from any form of piles
bleeding, itching or protruding, a trial
of the Pyramid will cure you and add
another to its thousands of friends
