EARTH WAS WIPED.
WITH REPUBLICAN TICKET IN THIS VILLAGE
AT MONDAYS ELECTION.

The result of Mondays election was
surprise to everybody.
The Courier of last week was correct
in its claim that no one should run
against Il. j. Cavanaugh. No man could
have been elected against him. The hold
that Mr.. Cavanaugh has upon the voters
OF this village was a surprise to himself
The majority of the voters have set
the seal of their approval on the policy
of liberal expenditure of money in pub
lic improvements, and as a natural con-
sequence such expenditure will be made.
None will be justified in complaining if
material increase in the rate of taxation
is made. The improvements are certainly
good thing to have, and the Northerner
is willing TO pay its share of the taxes
for their accomplishment, SO long as the
majority desire it-and according TO the
standard set up by the Courier the
Northerner is one of the heavy taxpayers
of this village.
The most that the republicans expect
ed Monday was that the result would be
mixed. We did not expect the silverites
to make clean sweep, especially as their
own checklist showed small republican
majority in the village. The result can
not be taken so much as partisan vic
tory, as an approval of the policy of the
village administration in the last year,
when the silverites were in control.
As during the year past, Messrs. Miller
and Rowland remain the only republi-
cans on the council-and it is safe to say
they would not remain there had their
terms expired this year.
The total vote cast was 425-the larg-
est in the history of the village. This
vote indicates a material increase of
population for this years census.

THE LOST PYX.
BY THOMAS HARDY.


BY THOMAS HARDY
From The Sphere.
Some say the spot is banned; that the pillar
CrOss-and-Hand
Attests to deed of Hell;
But OF else than of bale is the mystic tale
That ancient ValefOlk tell
Ere CerneTs Abbey ceased hereabout there
dwelt priest
In later life sub-prior
OF the brotherhood there. whose bones are now
In the field that was CerneI Choir
One night in his cell at the foot of yon dell
The priest heard frequent cry:
"CO Father. in haste to the cot on the waste
And shrive man waiting to die"
''The night hOWls. the tree trunks bow:
One may barely by day track so rugged way.
And can 1 then do so n5w%
No further word from the dark was heard.
And the priest moved never a limb;
And he slept and dreamed; till a Visage seemed
To frOwn from Heaven at him.
In a sweat he arose; and the storm shrieked
And smote as in savage joy:
While High-Stoy trees twanged to Bubb-Down
And Bubb-Down to High-stOy.
There seemed not a holy thing in hail.
Nor shape of light or love.
From the Abbey north Of Blackmore Vale
To the Abbey south thereof.
Yet he pIodded thence through the dark inn
Tnense,
Aad with many a stumbling stride eu
Through copse and briar climbed nigh and
higher
To the cot and the sick mans side
When he would have unslung the Vessels up
hung
To his arm in the steep ascent.
He made loud moan; the PyX gone
OF the Blessed Sacrament.
Then in dolOur and dread he beat his head:
mo earthly prize or Pelf
Is the thing I've lost in tempest tossed.
But the BOdysOf Christ Himself"'
He thought of the Visage his dream revealed
And turned toward whence he came.
Hands cropping the ground along fOOt-track and
And head in heat of shame.
And here ON the hill betwixt will and will
He noted a clear straight ray
Stretching down from the sky a spot hard by.
Which shOne with the light of day
And gathered around the Ilumined ground
Were common beasts and rare.
All kneeling at gaze, and in pause profound
Attent To an object there
Twas the Pyx, unharmed mid the circIing rows
OF BiackmOre's hairy thr0ng.
Whereof were oxen. sheep. and does.
And mares from the brakes among;
And badgers gray. and comics KEEN
And squirrels of the tree.
And many a member seldom seen
OF Natures family.
The iTeiul winds that secured and swept
Through coppice. clump. and dell.
Within that holy circle slept
Calm in hermit's cell.
Then the priest bent likewise to the sod
And thanked the Lord OF Love.
And Blessed Mary. Mother OF God
And all the Saints above
And turning straight with his priceless freight
He rea ched the dying one,
Whose passing sprite had been stayed for the
rite
Without which bliss hath none
And when by grace the priest place,

Executive Committee, is in Kansas
City He says Bryan will carry IN
diana by 10000 majority. Here
are his reasons:
III tell you why Bryan will wln'
In no other State in the Union was
there such universal opposition to the
Porto Rico tariff bill, which is one
of the mistakes of the Mckinley adj
ministration. This fact alone VIII
change the complexion of the State,
but aside from that the travelling men
are for Bryan this year. -Four years
ago the commercial travellers worked
and voted for Mckinley. The growth
of the trusts and the union of big IN
terests has reduced the number ana
the opportunities of the travelling men,
and they are 'agin' trusts and the adj
ministration which has fostered them.
The Gas trust has hurt Indiana. Since
it was formed many of the gas wells
of the State have been shut down and
many men thrown out of work. This
fact will make thousands of votes for
the antitrust ticket.
