alone ON Hacketts hill some distance
from the village OF South Tamwortn
about seven miles here Lodge had been

was made by Levi Duncan ana one or
two others who went to the DodRe place

for the coroner Accordingly Coroner

fed and today he drove to the Dodge
place to hold an inquest.
It Is Learned that since Dodge's dis
appearance his house has been robbed.
The villagers are very much stirred up

theory that MIR. Dodge was struck over
the head and killed by some person who
visited the place for the purpose OF rob-

VERY FEW LEFT.
Cl..ses That Have Deserted tire
Republicans.

Chicago, November 2.-Hon. W. j.
bryan, Democratic Presidential eandi-
date. tonight, gave out the following
statement IN the form OF an Interview;
"Ths Republican campaign has been a
failure. The full dinnsr pail argument
has been repndiated by the workingmen
and the Repu blicans are compelled TO
confess that a large proportion OF the
labor vote will be cast for the Democratic
ticket. Besides believing with the Demo-
Gratis. In the general doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges 20
none, the laboring men are against the
trusts, the large army and the colonial
policy. The laboring men are also drawn
to the Democratic party by the fact that
our party IL opposed 30 government by
Injunction, to the black list and to Chi
nese immigration and In favor OF arbi-
tration and in favor Of cabinet officer
selected to represent the wage earners.
1.-THE Republicans are now hoping to
hold their strength among the farmers,
but they have no policy which win bene-
fit the farmer. The man who makes his
living on the farm Is the Victim OF all the
vicious legislation for which the Repubh.
can party 10 responsible, and receives
none of the benefits conferred by special
legislation upon corporations and syndi-
Gates. The farmer pays more than his
share OF the taxes and receives less than
his share of the consideration OF govern
ment. Repu blican policies have lessened
the value OF farm lands, increased the
proportion OF tenants and have driven the
farmers sons away from the farm, thus
intensifying the struggle for existence In
the cities The farmers are almost unani-
mously opposed to the trusts and they can
have no sym pathy with the imperiaiistio
policy of the Republican party with Its
attendant military establishment.
~ believe that the election will show
that we have gained among the farmers as
we'll as In the cities.
i'Ihe small business men and the pro-
fessional men are also feeling the effect
OF the industrial despotism which has
grown up with this administration.
"Ihe poor are coming to the Demo-
cratic party because they want a chance
OF lite and many of the well-to-do because
they realize that the Democratic party
affords better protection to honest wealth
than the Republican party.
"The Republican party Is under the
control OF those who seek advantage
through governmental favoritism and
grow rich by the exploitation OF citizens
at home and subjects abloa 1t Is
fight between democracy on the one
side ami plutooracy on the other and
Democracy appeals to the Judgment and
to the conscience of those who are will
ling TO let live as well as live."

1t is difficult to ascertain the pulling
strength OF an elephant for the simple
reason that the strongest animals we
have in captivity are not the possessors
of the sweetest tempers, and accordingly
their keepers are chary of allowing them
TO be attached to thermometers, not car
ing TO speculate as TO what the end
would be were the mammoth to ''lose his

Tests which have been made with av-
erage sized animals. however, prove that
