OUR BOYS WIN.

Courtesy OF the Fulton Republican.
On Saturday morning Captain
McDonough arrived in town from
New Grenada, with his aggrega-
tion of Bryan ball tossers to de-
feat our Mckinley boys. TO ac-
complish this they brought with
them the famous Delaney broth
ers, Robertsdale's crack battery,
but they did not know that our
boys were waiting with their
long bats to do some heavy hit.
ting, nor did they know that our
boys had a pitcher in the person
of N. Wagner, who has speed that
would win admiration from Rusie
and an assortment of curves that
would cause Cy Young to blush,
He was invincible and had them
at his mercy.
The game was too much one
sided to be very interesting, for
the visitors were outplayed at
every stage and never had a
chance to win. The features of
the game were the good all
around playing of the home team,
the playing of Grissinger for the
visitors and the pitching of Wag,
ner, struck out ten men and al
lowed but one man a check tC
first base. The visitors conduct
ed themselves in a gentlemanly
manner, but concluded that sew
en- innings were enough for them
The order of batting was as

MARRIED IN HASTE.
A Matrimonial Advertisement
Did II.

A short time ago Mrs. Ida
Heinbaugh. nee McLucas, of Ayr
township, saw the advertisement
of Michael Stael, in which he
stated that he was very anxious
TO marry, and would correspond
toward that end with some one
equally interested.
Believing that "delays are dan
gerous," she lost no time in re-
plying and the result was the
arrival of the aforesaid gentle
man in Fulton county.
We are told that ga maiden is
sometimes charming; a widow,
always" =" The end of this roman
tic courtship is no denial of this
assertion.
Unheeding the elder Weller's $
advice, to Sam, ''beware of wild
ders, " hepromptly escorted Mrs.
Heinbaugh to town, purchased a
license, and on the same day at
the home of Rev. Lewis Cham
bers, became the husband of a
woman he had never seen until
the day before. The groom is
from Pittsburg, and is u widower
with seven children. Mrs. Helm
baugh has four "in her own
right, " making a total of eleveu.
No one can accuse this couple of
starting "empty-handed. " Mr..
Stael returned to his home Satur-
day, following the wedding, but
will return at an early date, when
his wife will make sale of her eff
fects and go with him to the
Smoky City"
We have no remarks to make
on the above plan of selecting a
partner for life. In these days of
touch the button" progress, we
may expect to see an economy of
time applied, even in courting-a
period so delightful to many as to
lead to unnecessary delay and
! postponement; but the question
as to whether the surplus time
should be employed before, or
after marriage, is one altogether
too momentous for even Fulton
county editor to decide.
We admire the brave souls who
are the star actors in this dram
ma (?) and hope at some far fu-
ture day,we may add-"and they
lived happily together forever af-
terward."

THE REUNION.

The Annual Soldiers Reunion
at Sloan's Hill, Ayr township, last
/ Friday was one of the most sue
cessful of the many similar occa-
sions that organization has yet
held. Notwithstanding the some
what heated condition of the at
mosphere, the weather was ia
vorable, and at an early hour, the
roads leading TO the grove were
lined with all manner of vehicles
that run on wheels;and the grove,
which contains about nine acres,
was literally iammcd.
There was abundant provision
made for the appetites of the Wis
iting veterans-both dinner and
supper-and to one who arrived
ON the ground about noon and
Witnessed the hundreds of merry
groups, representing every part
of the county, as they were gath
cred around snow-white spreads
covered with an abundance of
fried chicken, potato chips, dew
lied eggs, rolls, salmon, melons,
and iced tea, the impression
might have been made that the
whole county had come together
to break long fast.
With the exception of the alb.
senco of the foreigners" who
had been billed to speak, the
exercises were conducted much
as laid down in the program pub
lished in the papers.
A glee club composed of Miss
Elizabeth Patterson, Miss Emily
Greathead, Mrs. George w. Reis-
ner, and Dr.. Ed Smith, DR.. |. n.
Garthwaite aud George W. Reis-
ncr rendered a number of ma
tional songs much to the delight
of those who heard them. Prof
Stohier was there from the :. O.
school at Scotland and led the
music in masterly manner with
| his cOrnct.
Then the McConnellsburg cor
net band was there all day, and
at intervals lent such inspiration
to the crowd as only good band
can do.
Addresses were made by Rev.
| S. b. Houston, Captain Skinner,
Y. Elliott Patterson, d. IL. Pat

Patriotic recitations, highly ap-

RESTING ON THEIR OARS
Maine Republicans Expect No Diff
 culty In Winning.

Portland, Me, Sept. 9.-The campaign in Maine closed today and next Monday the eyes of the nation will turn in this direction to see which way the political wind is blowing. The close of the cam paign sees political gatherings today in nearly every city and town of the state, though the canvass this year, taken all the way through, has not been as wig OrOuS as might be expected for a pres idential year. The election Monday is for governor. secretary of state, at tOrney general. and treasurer, as well as members of the legislature. Repub- lican success is a certainty and the leaders of the party are now figuring on the size of the majority. Four years ago the republicans succeeded in rolling up majority of 4S,000 as a result of a vigorous campaign designed to discredit the democratic ticket in the home state of the democratic vice. presidential nominee. This year the republicans have not expended the same amount of energy, but the party leaders. never theless. expect the majority to equal, if not eclipse, that of 1896. Should it fall very far below that figure the re- suit of the coming national election, so far as Maine is concerned, may re- main in doubt until November.
 The state campaign this year has been singularly free from complications such as made the contests exciting when Blaine. Reed and SewalI were in the arena. John F. Hill is the republi- can nominee for governor. He is resident of Augusta, Blaine's town, and was nominated by the state con- vention last June by exclamation. The democratic candidate is Samuel l.. Lord of Saco, who was defeated for the office of governor two years ago.

MIR. PECK DEFENDED
Denial of Charge That He Has Acted
 Discourteously.

New York, Sept. 9.-Among the pas sengers on the French line steamer. La Touraine, which arrived from Havre today was Arthur Valois. United States commissioner to the Paris exposition. He defended Commissioner General Peck from the cabled charges that he had acted discourteously to state rep resentatives at the exposition. In speak ing of the story that MT Peck had se- cretly worked to prevent Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Potter Palmer from being decorated by the French government, he said: That is impossible, for I know now such things are done. The names for the legion of honor are handed in and passed on their merits know that MT Peck presented the names of Mrs Manning. Mrs. Potter Palmer and Michael De Young for the order. As to there being criticism over being so many representatives from the United
 States and the difficulty of supplying all with invitations to entertainments, all that l can say is that there is all ways trouble when big enterprise like the exposition is under way"

NORTH CAROLINA POPULIsTs
Leaders Will Vote For Mckinley Jn
 Preference to BIyau.

Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 9.-The populist vote in this state will be given to Mo Kinley and Roosevelt The action of the national committee in accepting Stevenson has embittered North Caro- lima populists. As evidence of this, populist Mckinley clubs are being or ganiZed in the state. In Swift Creek township yesterday the pOpulists or ganized a Mckinley club with a mem bership of forty-seven. Senator Butler is the only Tar Heel populist' who has so far announced his intention to vote for Bryan and Stevenson. With all his influence he will be unable to control the North Carolina populists. The state convention named two cleo tors-at-large and one of these has de- clared that he will support Mckinley. Cyrus Thompson, populist national committeeman from this state, declared today that he would not support Bryan and Stevenson. Baylus Cade, private secretary to Governor Russel, and a leading populist, announced today that he would vote for Mckinley. Otho Will son, ex-railroad commissioner and an influential populist, says that less than per cent of the populists in the state will vote for Bryan.

tax imposition of no greater rate than that in the average American state, will give less annoyance, and with peace, will produce revenue sufficient to pay the expenses of efficient govern ment, including militia and constabu- lary. There has been on time since the destruction of the enemy's fleet when we could or should have left the Phil ippine archipelago. After the treaty of peace was ratified no power but con- gress could surrender our sovereignty or alienate a foot of the territory ac- quired. Congress has not seen fit to do one or the other and the president has no authority to do either, if he had been so inclined. which he was not.
 No government can so certainly pre- serve peace, restore public order and establish law, Justice and stable con- ditions as ours. Neither congress nor the executive can establish a stable government in these islands except under our right of sovereignty under our authority and our flag. This we are doing. We could not do it as a protec- torate power so completely or so sue cessfully as we are doing it now.
 The country has been fully advised oi the purposes of the United States ir China, and they will be faithfully ad' hered to as already defined. Very re- spectfully.

ston Barret of Chicago, and Miss Railey. had driven in an opera bus from MT. Calefs cottage at Seabright to Pleasure bay and were returning, when, after having gone some distance, they discovered that the coachman was not on the box and that the horses, a pair of powerful animals, were running away. j
 Mir. Calef jumped in an effort to gain the horses heads, but was thrown to the ground. and the team dashed on, every moment gaining speed.
 Miss Railey climbed through a win dow scarcely large enough to admit her slender body sidewise. to the box and, gaining a footing on the whtff1e- trees, managed to get hold of one line and threw one of the horses, bringing the vehicle to a sudden stop on the edge of a ditch near the approach tc the bridge across the bay.
 No one was injured except MT. Calef who was severely bruised by his fall.

EARL u WANTS HELP
A Quiet Sunday But Indications Are Good For An Early Settlement of Chinese Trouble - Germany Still Disturbing Element-Has In. troduced Some New Complications In Chi Li.

Washington. Sept. 9.-Acting Secre- tary Hill of the state department said tonight there were no developments in the Chinese situation. Dr. Hill was at the state department for a time during the morning, but no telegrams of inn portance had come during the night and there was nothing to make public. The naval officials were without any infor- nation from the east during the day nor were any dispatches from General Chaffee posted at the war department.
 The Japanese legation furnished a. news paragraph of considerable inter est and importance, indicating that the Chinese imperial family are alive to the necessity of having a duly authen- ticated representative at Pekin to meet the foreigners with a view to the ar rangement of affairs there. This news is the return of Prince Ching to Pekin. to which place he was escorted by a. company of Japanese several days ago Prince Ching is one of the best known pro-foreigners in China. He has occu- pied important positions in the govern ment of that country and his return by the direction of the emperor is to the officials here a good augury to the opening of negotiations for peace.
