A SCARE IN ILLINOIS.

New York Herald, Republican.
In Illinois the Republicans have had
a scare. 1t is the first serious one they
have had during the campaign. and
they have had generally good news
since the registration. The Republi-
cans had a sound money parade on
Saturday. They either underestimated
their resources. or overplayed 1t in the
newspapers. They expected TO have
100000 men in line. The number Oh
paraders proved to be about $4,000 and
when the totals were known the Repub-
lican leaders confessed to disappoint-
ment. They will probably now mark
down their estimate OF 10000 for Nc
iKnleys plurality below 100000 and go
to work with greater energy than be-
fore.
The Republican managers have been
SO cock sure of electing Mckinley
that bad news like that from the Chi
cago sound money parade or Senator
SCOTS break" in favor of the Stand
ard Oil Company are likely TO cause
panic at headquarters. In many cam
paigns the battle has been lost in the
last two or three weeks of the struggle
Blaine was elected in 1884 so all his
supporters believe, as late as October
10, yet he had bad luck and worse
management His attendance at the
Delmonico dinner and the famous
speech of the Reverend Dr. Burehard
lost him the election.
So, too, in 1888. Cleveland would
have been elected if he had had proper
work done for him in New York State.
The Herald sounded the warning in
October, but his managers either could
not or would not look after his inter-
ests up the State, and he lost.
A recollection of these sharp corners
and hard falls in politics naturally
makes the Republican managers uneasy

anti Elkins or anti-ring Republicans,
the German voters who will desert
Mckinley and the Republicans who
will vote with the Democrats on ac-
count of the trusts, and even a repiti-
ton of the frauds of 1896 would not
save the Republican ticket
The anti-ring Republicans are going
to cut much larger figure in Kama
Republicans think. A poll of the vot-
ers in single precinct in Kanawha
county shows that out of a total OF
17S voters there are SO Republicans
who state openly that they are going
to support the Democratic ticket this
year. And it is about the same all
through the county. In Fayette
almost the same condition exists. The
Republicans have practically given up
all hope of carrying Kanawha, which
gave Mckinley plurality of 2,12O IN
1896.
The only chance in the world the
Republicans have to carry the State
is to buy or steal 1t. But the Demo-
Gratis cannot be outwitted in the same
way this year that they were four
years ago. Already they are at work
blocking the games of the Republi-
cans and if there is any fraud in the
election next week it will have to be
committed while the Democrats are
asleep 1t is known that in some
counties the Republicans have spent
thousands of dollars to secure the APP
pointment of certain Republican Off
GERS os election and in view OF the
fra,lds now shown to have existed
In the returns OF four years ago 1t is
reasonable that they have been APP
pointed to repeat the same perform
anee this year. But the Democrats
will be prepared this time and will
keep a close watch on them. Money
and fraud may defeat the Democrats,
but it seems almost impossible that
enough votes can be purchased or
stolen to overcome what is the actual
majority for Bryan in the State.

Mothers advice is worth more than
the advice of any other woman to the
daughter who is perplexed by the prob
lens of physical health and comfort.
There's no need therefore to "write to
uoman," who is a stranger.
There may, however, be need for a
bhysiciaa's advice to supplement the ad-
vice of the mother In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DR.. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questionings, the repulsive ex-
arninations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
IN plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements
Offering medical advice" which are
published by those who not being ply
sicians are not qualified to give such adj
vice Any physician or doctor who has
legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer medical advice" and invite
you to write to woman do not claim
that the woman is doctor The "medi-
cal advice" of an unprofessional woman
is just as dangerous as the medical
advice" of an unprofessional man. In
more than thirty years DR. Pierce and his
staff of nearly score of medical special
lists, have successfully treated over half a
million women. . You can write without

PARKERSBURG, w. Va. October 81
Now that the campaign is practically
over and with less than A week to
elapse before the election, it may be
stated in the most positive terms that
nothing except Republican fraud can
prevent this State from giving its cleo
toral vote to Bryan or from electing the
Democratic State ticket next Tuesday.
To those who remember that the State
gave Republican plurality of LAST
four years ago, this may sound like an
idle boast. But careful study of the
vote in the State for several years past
will show that the Republican majority
of 1896 was for the most part if no.

served its purpose then and elected
Republican candidates, it is not to be
reekoned this year as something he
Democrats have to overcome before
they can elect their candidates.
When the votes were counted four
years ago the Democrats claimed that
there had been frauds committed, but
IL could not be proven at the time that
sufficient frauds had been committed
to give the Republicans such an enor-
nous majority and little was said
about it. But study of the tables Civ

EVOLUTION KNOCKED OUT.

EF'rOm the N. o. Times-Democrat.1
Il saw the theory of evolution knock
ed higher than a kite at a Tennessee
camp meeting last week." said a New
Orleans drummer who has just return
ed from a trip on the road. ''It hap
pened in this way: I was detained over
night in a small town up in the noun
tain district, and, hearing that big
revival was in progress in the woods
not a great distance away, / decided to
go out and see what it looked like. I
found several hundred country people
seated around a raised platform in a
little clearing, listening to a half-fren-
zied exhortation by an itinerant evan
gelist, who had lungs like a steam cal
Hope and a beard like a Boer general.
There was no denying the fact that the
man possessed a, certain amount of rude
eloquence, and the scene was weird and
impressive Just as I arrived he was

ITO my surprise a tall, lantern jawed
individual on the bench adjoining mine

glance that he was one of those rustic

and I looked to see some fun. He was
perfectly cool and self-poSSesSed, and
was evidently loaded to floor the par
son. For moment there was dead
silence; then the evangelist leaned for
ward and shaded his eyes with his hand.
" VIII the brother move a leetle near

Forget Your Business at Night

ssEvery business man of common
sense knows, whether he chooses TO &C
knowledge it or not, that the farther
away he gets in the evening from his
commercial associations during the day,
so that his business associates or
thoughts of it or them cannot get at
him, the healthier he is. the wiser life
he leads; in short the better off he is in
every. respect, and the ADLER for the du-
ties of the morrow" writes Edward Box
of THE American Man and the Coun-
try" in the July Ladies' Home Journal.
Now, what does he get in the city in
the evening, even if he lives a carefully
regulated life? There is no mode of life
he can possibly follow which is in any
way recuperative to his mental or phys
zeal being. He has never been out of
hearing of the noises of the city or out
of the range of its lights. Every night
he has slept in the polluted air OF the
city, and in the morning has looked out
on the gray sidewalk which he sees all
day long. What does such man know
of the exhilarating, refreshing and
blOOd-Quickening experience of Opening
the shutters of his chamber window up
on a landscape of space and sunshine
And what is far worse. what do his wife
ard children know of such a blessing
Yet he deludes himself into the belief
that he must live in the city so as to be
in touch with things If you ask him
what those things are you invariably
discover that they are of a business ma
ture, either strictly business or some So
cial convention which he feels has a
bearing on his business. But it is al
ways business, businessi Now, a man
living under this pressure rarely does
his best work, although he fully believes
that he is doing it. But he cannot be
giving out the best because he does not
allow the best to get within him.

IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE

What are parents and teachers think
ing about the disclosures lately made
by President Thwing of the Western
Reserve university at Cleveland, about
the defects of the rising generation in
knowledge of the Bible? DR.. Thwing
writes a great deal about college men
and college women and what they know
and what they ought to know, and he
takes pains to make his statements &C
curate. He suspected that they did not
know as much about the Bible as they
should; and to find out how defective
their knowledge was, ne made an ex-
animation paper with twenty-five sim
pie Biblical illusions from the poems
of Tennyson, which he submitted to the
Freshman class of his own college and
afterwards to the freshman class of
woman's college in the east. The allu-
sions were to things very familiar, such
as the mama in the wilderness, the
striking of the rock, the branding OF
Cain, Jephtha's daughter, Jacobs struggle
with the angel the miracle of Cana, the
crown of thorns, and the angel at the
tomb. Yet not half the answers were
right Forty out of eighty-hve persons
examined knew nothing of the story of
Esau or of that of Ruth, and sixty had
never heard of "Joshua's moon in

small but well managed hotel, not in the
downtown district, that had been rec
commended to me. The two walters in
the hotel dining room who attended to
the corner where decided to sit were
a pair of very black young fellows, Nose
and Zeke. Nose caught my eye first
when / took my first meal in the host

splendidly. He was one of the best
