CAHOON AT THE COURT HOUSE.
he Delivered an Able Address on Saturday
Night.

Hon. B. B. CahOon of Frederick
town, once candidate for Governor
on the Republican ticket of this State,
| addressed the people of this city at
rhe court house on last Saturday
night. Mr.. Cahoon spoke on Nation
al and State affairs and dwelt upon
the Philippine question to consider
able length. He said IN part:
What will we do with the Phillip
pines: That opeLs serious reflection.
We shall do nothing in a hurry: least
of all will we be hurried into quickly
and unadvisedly doing anything led
by such unsafe guides as Bryan and
his most intimate advisers, such as
are Altgeld. Tillman and Croker.

A Successful Fair.

The Fair Association cleared fifteen
hundred dollars at the last fair. That
is more money clear of expenses than
was ever before takea in at fair in
this county. Had ths weather been
favorable all the week the Association
would have cleared at A. ,>ast twenty

An Election Forecast.

Nearly every one is having some
fun fixing up forecasts for the election,
and the result Of these predictirns de-
pends upon the party preference of the
forecaster. But the DEMOCRAT passes
out forecast to-day that is prepared
not to show so much the State Bryan
will win, but in order to demonstrate
that even after conceding the known
Democratic and all the doubtful States
TO him he still has no chance. This
list is not based upon or predicated
on party lines or hopes; it is simply
plain business calculation.
Both Democrats and Republicans
claim they will carry New York, In
diana and Kentucky. Nebraska. Col
orado, Idaho and Utah are regarded
as doubtful. Let US give all these
States to Bryan with their 50 electo-
raj votes. AID then sum up as follows:

A few minutes before two o'clock
the sheriff came after our hero. He
had little to say, and his very reti-
cence confirmed Ronald's fear that no
new thing in his favor had turned up
since morning. The courtroom was
crowded to the doors. The first face
that fell under the notice of the dis
spirited prisoner was the sinister one
of Capt. Winkle, who sat suspiciously
near Squire Richardson's elbow; the
next was the round, good-natured one
of Col. Hasbrooke; but Ronald had
never seen it look quite SO pale and
downcast. The thought ran through
his mind that Wrinkle had reported
the fact of his having been driven to
Ratcliff's by Evelyn. Yes, he was sure
of it now, for nothing but the dis
covery of his daughters secret would
have induced man of Hasbrooke's
stay-at-home habits to attend court.
Ronald felt thrill almost of horror
pass over him as he thought that per-
haps the colonel had come with the
sole hope that the trial would perma-
nently remove him from the path of
his daughter. The next moment he
felt his arm nervously clutched by
Redding.
Come inside the railin' an set by
me-" the lawyer whispered, his breath
on his clients cheek. It'll want yore
suggestions as the case proceeds.
Damn it'll" he added, as If to himself,
"lll want anything l can lay hold Of;
them fellers have got the best show
in they ever had ag'in an innocent
man." AS he spoke he waved his
hand towards Mr.. Webb, the state So
licitor, a handsome man of 40, with a
bushy mustache and massive hair,
who sat only few feet away
with his head close to that of Thad
Williams. They seemed to be talk
ing of the case, for the solicitor was
making notes with a pencil and nod

faction.

CHAPTER XVI.

It was about six o'clock that after
noon when the sheriff put Ronald down
at home. Dave had ridden Close be-
hind the buggy all the way. Now and
then, when passing some acquaintance
on the road or in distant field, he
would wave his slouched hat and give
yell that would have done credit to
the lungs of savage. When they ar
rived ut home he fastened the bride
reins 10 post and sprang over the
fence into the yard. Old Fanshaw sat
nodding, half asleep, on the porch in a
spot where the last rays of the slant
ing sunlight were falling; he was we'll
wrapped up in a ragged greatcoat and
wore cap, the flaps of which COW
cred his ears.
"Ron's come cleer!" Dave shouted to
him, and seeing his sister at the small
paned window, he yelled the same words
to her.

who, being short-sighted, had not noted
the arrival of the buggy. "Come cleer
the devil!"

The first map folder or circular re-
specting the klondike gold strike of
1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t is more than coincidence
that the first map folder or pamphlet
of the Nome Mining district comes
from the same source. The present
folder not only contains good map of
the Nome district but is embellished
with several cuts of views at Nome
City and on the beach where the meth
cd of mining is clearly shown. All in
formation obtainable regarding sailing
dates from Seattle and Tacoma,
through rates, etc., is given in this
book and the public cautioned to go to
the agents of the N. p. Ry., who are
supplied with diagrams of the Alaska
steamers, and arrange in advance for
their accommodations rather to put off
this very important business until they
reach Puget Sound. There is no doubt
but what there will be very consider
