His Theory.

IA novel explanation of the cause of
thunder showers was once given a So
iourner in a little Nova Scotia town
by zone of the inhabitants.
Do you know what makes thunder?:'
the Nova Scotian inquired OF his
guest. I've got a theory of my own,
and ] call it a pretty good one"
- should like TO hear it." was the
diplomatic reply.
"Well, said the host, slowly, my
idea is this: You know we hear about
the air circulating and circulating all
the time. My notion is that the pure
air from above comes down here in
the summer and gets foul with all the
smoke and grease; and then the heal
drives it up again into the clouds; and
when it gets up there it's pressed on
all around by the clouds coming to-
gether, and it explodes! That's my
theory. OF course" he added, with
becoming modesty, ''other folks may
have others"

CLEVELAND SAYS IT'S ALL A LIE.
Denies the Statement Attributed to Hin BY
Philadelphia Paper.

Princeton, n. j.. October 30.-Gro-
yer C~leveveland, in regard to the Phil
adelphia Times story, said this after
noon:
1.-The whole thing from beginning to
end is an absolute lie. without the
least foundation or shadow of truth.
l have never uttered a word to any
human being that affords the least
pretext for such a m~endacious state
ment. 1 have already t~elegraphed the
Philadelphia Times 10 that effect"
The article in the Times to which
former President Cleveland refers is a
Princeton, N. j., dispatch in which he
is credited with the statement that the
election will result in a landslide for
Bryan. The article also attributed
to him a statement that the travelling
men of the country are unanimous in
their support Of Bryan.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
The Strongest Ticket Presented in This
County For Several Years.

The Republican party this year Of
fers a ticket mBde up of some of the
best men in the county-representa-
tive men OF the county and men who
are recognized in their respective
communities as honest, honorable
business men. There never a a
more harmonious convention held in
the county than the convention that
nominated the Republican ticket this
year. Indifferent townships through
out the county we're we'll represented
in that convention. The best men were
put forward and nominated and the
nominations were fairly and justly
made, giving each section a place on
the ticket.
The ticket this year is considered by
everybody to be one of the strongest
we have had in the county for twenty
years. Even the Democrats admit
this, and the leaders of the Democrat
ic party in the county do not try to
hide the fact that the show for their
party is very slim. Now and then a
Republican is heard to say that he
cannot vote for this or that man on
the Republican ticket, but that Repub-
lican has a personal grievance with
the nominee of whom he speaks. He
will not vote for the candidate on the
opposite ticket. He may scratch the
name of the candidate he does not
like but he will make no fight against
the ticket.
1t is a mans privilege to vote as he
plsases, but this is a year that every
Republican should be pleased to stay
with his party, and we believe the Re-
publicans of Cape Girardeau county
are this year loyal to the Republican
party and Republican principles and
that very few will allow personal
grievances to interfere with the cast
ing of their ballots for their party
candidates.
