The Vote OF Name.

The election iu Maine is over and
is another straw for he political
prophets Strangely enough the
leaders of both palties seem to ex'
tract comfort from the result. The
Republicans are gratl6ed that they
have carried the State by majority
of $4,000. Nobody expected any
thing hut Republican victory in
Maine.It as certain to goRepub'
lican as q, orgia is to go Democratic.
So it is not very plain why the
Republican leaders should be- especi'
ally pleased. Thr Democrats take
comfort in the fact that the Rcpub-
lican vote fell of eleven per cent
and the Democratic vote WAS increas
ed twenty-five per cent. Now il
this result is a straw showing the
trend of popular opinion in the
Union, it is very encouraging to the
friends of Mr.. Bryan; for a lik'
change in any OF the doubtful Slater
would give his ell. ctoral vote to th'
Democratic ticket and if the sam,
state of things should prevail in al
the doubtful States, Bryan would b
elected by handsome majority. Tn
Republicans are welcou,c to all tn

The Fever Subsidin1

We have to announce that the
"remittent' fever. which has been
raging among our readers, has almost
entirely subsidized. The absence of
any report in our column, for some
time Is due to thus fact. Since our
last report only a very few patients
have applied for treatment. Among
them was A. ]. Larimer, H. M. Kin
ser, Jno f. Litz, Thos. A. witten
and few others whose names We do
not recall. A number of patients
living out of the State have piled,
and ever case our remedy has prov
ed successful Let no one hesitate
for fear Of failure on our part. We
never fail to cure the worse cases.
One patient treated recently had
been suffering for three years, and
one dose of our Tightening Cure did
the work. We have heard of several
violent deaths Of sufferers who failed
to call on Us. We warn the sick
that delay is exceedingly dangerous.
and may prove fatal at any time.
The symptoms Of the disease are un-
mistakable. The patient has, usually
a coated tongue, bad taste in the
mouth, and pain or duly uneasy
feeling about his concience-if he
has any concience-a sort of hang.
dog look about his eyes, general des-
pondency, and in some cases loss oi
appetite. Such conditions have been
known to result in suicide. ALI these
symptoms are exaggerated when the
patient gets his paper from the Office
and when he happens to see the
editor on the street he invariably has
q desire to shun him and pass dowr

Another Wreck on The Clinch

Following close upon the heels of
the disastrous wreck near Maxwell
of ten days ago comes another seriou 8
one on the @. V. Division, in which
two men lost their lives. Capt. Reese
Bowen's train, going west ran into q
work train at st. Clair, just this side
of Graham. Conductor G. Il. Croy,
of the work train and boy who
carried water for the men, were in
stantly killed, AID Engineer Dennis
and Bob Gillespie, one of the hands,
were seriously injured. The cause
Of the wreck seems to have been the
failure of the fagman to flag the
west freight train. No one on this
train was hurt.
The injured and dead men were
taken to Bluefeld. The pass, Dgel
