LETTER FROM CHINA.
Former West Burton Street Man
 Writes to Waterbury Friends.

1 F s- --l z=
 Writes to Waterbury Friends.
 Cornelius Mccormack, q former res ident of West Burton street, this city, and now q United States soldier sta ttoned at Pekin China, writes to friend. Michael Broderick. under date of September IA, 1900. as follows:
 Mir Michael Broderick:
 Just q line or two, hoping to find you in the enjoyment or good health, as l am at present. suppose you heard about our going to China, where we had hard time and lost SO many men and officers? We have been in xome fierce fights, notably the battle of Tien Taip. where we lost eight efa- cers and large number of men killed and wounded. The Chinsss were well equipped with big guns and latest and most improved kind of rifles and am intuition in tons at every point where they thought 1t would be needed, and they did not spare 1t on us.- The bat tie lasted fourteen hours. The Ameri- can and British soldiers entered the walled city together. The wounded had to remain on the field until dark ness set in. when the work of remov- F ing them was commenced, and it took us until daybreak to get them to places l Ol SuIGkS. II Sou lttSlpI to carry a wounded man off the field during the day the enemy would riddle you with bullets and that was the req son those of our men who fell in the conflict had to remain on the ground so long without assistance.
 The march was what might be termed one continuous round of fight ing day and night. Between the con- stant fighting and marching under the | hot sun, many men lost their senses and we had to tie them down with can | teen straps to restrain them from run ming at large. The Chinese did not have things their own way, though, and I tell you we spared no male Ce- lestial that came within our reach; whether he had a rife in hand or not, he died right on the spot where we came up with him. but I have seen no women or children killed by our men. The Russians and Japanese spared neither age nor sex and shot down men, women and children as fast as they came in their way.
 The northern part of China on the way to Pekin is in ruins, everything burned to the ground. The country lpresented a horrible spectacle, strewn with the dead. bodies of Chinamen as far as one could see.
 1 The DomDardment was something fine to witness. We had eighty-twc big guns turned on the city, which were all often in action at the same time. The United States flag was the first to fly on the great wall, and tell you it made us all think more thar lever of it when we caught sight of il
 there. After forcing our way through
 the first wall. we had to batter dowr
 a passageway through seven othel
 walls before entering the city, anc 1then commenced all kinds of stree lighting. Most of the Chinese soldiers
 were blown to pieces by the artillery
 and the Russian and Japanese cavalry
 who covered the retreat, took goot
 care of all who tried to make goot
 their escape, slashing them right ant
 left with their sabers.
 1 am, yours truly,
 CORNELIUS MCCORMACK.

 New York. Oct 26--Mark Twain re- turned to the Hotel Burlington, in West Twenty-seventn street, from Hartford, Conn, last night, in q very disgruntled frame of mind. After a long journey to Hartford for the pur- pose of arranging to cast his vote at the forthcoming election, he was cold ly informed by the board of registra- tion that they would not accept his name. F,
 It was claimed that his long ab- sence from this country abroad had deprived him of the right of voting in the district in which he lived when last in this country. The house, it was claimed, had been occupied by other parties, and he had thus lost his legal residence. ..f4-.4. .slsa .
 The humorist was loath to discuss his failure. Some time ago he an nounced that he did net know whether he could vote. He said if he could not he would run independently for pres ident and thus defeat the laws. He would not say last night whether he would make his promise good.

A Short Blanket

An Irishman had a blanket which was too short. When he pulled it up under his chin. his feet were cold. When he tucked it down around his feet, he caught cold in his throat. He could not decide which part of his anatomy was the most important to keep warm, so he slept with both ends cold. There arc two ends to our busi- ness-the buying end and the selling end. You have perhaps hot yet discoy cred which is the most important end, as far as you are concerned. You may think it's the selling end the end where you do the buying). but it is not. If we buy the right goods, at the right prices. the selling will take care of itself. You win.

Cabbage is easily kept all winter by
being buried in the ground head down

off the root smoothly and pack them in
piles much as apples turnips or SINH

a few leaves may be found spoiled,
and It will be necessary to thoroughly
cleanse the whole head, tearing of

Mr.. J.tH. WEIGH, working on a farm
near Buffalo, N. D., says: when liv-
ing at 1O3 Eighth street south, Fargo,
I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Will
ser's Pharmacy in the spring of 1898.
For a long time I had not only been
annoyed but actually suffered with
pains in my back. Compelled to work
at the time and aggravated by a cold
contracted during the last attack, I
grew so stiff and lame toward the close
OF the day that I could scarcely walk.
MI. Collins advised me to use Doan's
Kidney Pills-emphasizing the fact
that he knew they would help me and
noting his own experience as a good
authority I followed his advice and my
personal experience only reiterates
what I have heard a good many more
express in and around Fargo. Doan's

tations ana can be depended upon to

The American people have vindicated
the administration of William Mckinley,
which was vainly sought to be arraigned
by Bryan and his hosts of discontinued.
The majority is SO overwhelming that it
is to be taken as not only a Reputation
of Organism, but an unqualified endorse
ment OF the administration of Mckinley.
The electoral vote for Mckinley, accord
ing to the latest reports, will exceed 300.
Its a splendid tribute to the sound
common sense of the American people.
It proves that this republic is not to be
carried off its feet by the specious argu-
ments of a demagogue.
In the state, the same splendid major
iity is returned. From the counties
heard from, the majority for the state
ticket will be 10000 or over, and for the
presidential ticket 10000 to 5000.
It is a splendid record, n of which
every republican in the state should b
proud.
