A peculiar Occurrence.

A Hamilton correspondent says:
MRS. G.. w. York was suddenly
awakened the o.her night by hearing
their little two-year-old baby gasp for
its breath. They got up and found a
strange cat on the little ones cradle.
Many people think that no one but
superstitious persons believe that a
cat will draw the breath from a child,
bat the Yorks are convinced. Their
little baby was almost gone, but was
soon brought to. Mayor York took
the cat out in the yard and we believe
he did contrary to the ordinances Of
the town which prohibit shooting
within the city limits"

HORTON LAW IS E

Fights with Receipts of
$2,SO5, 900.

New York, Sept. 3.-The Horton law
is dead. At the Broadway Athletic
club Friday night after the Cans
Hawkins fight this passing of pugilism
was signalized by the singing of Aud
Lang Syne" by the crowd led by "Joe"
HUMPHREYS, the clubs announcer.
Other clubs mourned the law in much
the same way. 1t is estimated that
since the passage of the law in 1896,
1880 fights have taken place in this
state, the majority in Greater New
York. The total receipts are placed at
about $2,sO5, 900. The Erne-McGovern
fight drew the biggest crowd and the
Corbett-McCoy fight had the largest re-
ceipts, about 100000.
Preparations are already being made
by the local promoters to cur near
by clubhouses in New Jersey and Con-
necticut.

HOUSE ROBBED.
A Burglar Goes Through A. J.
Dirr's Residence.

About half past two O'Clock Tues
day morning the inmates Of the a. ].
DIR nome on First avenue east were
aroused by a burglar in the house.
The fellow carried a dark lantern
and was making himself free with
the valuables. AS soon as he found
out the people were awake he made
his departure. The alarm vas given
throughout the neighborhood and in
a few minutes Night Policeman Mar
tin was on hand, but no clue could
be found to the thief. He secured
two gold watches and some money.
The thief was evidently an old hand
at the business. He obtained en-.
trance through the cellar and left a
door upstairs open in order to get
out quickly if necessary. He also
took the precaution to set a bucket
on the doorstep, intending to trip up
anyone who might attempt to follow
him.

Fremont, Sept. 3-The forty-first
annual meeting of the English River
Baptist Association was held here.
Thursday the opening session was

mails in the various cities Of the coun-
try appeared in Detroit Monday.
marched at five o'clock in the after
noon in attractive, imposing parade.
lunched together in Light Guard arm
DRY and at night took part in a public
reception and listened to addresses Of
welcome, commentator and ncour
agement. There are but 750 delegates
to the annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Letter Carriers,
which begins to-day, and many of those
in the city Monday have returned home.
Among the largest delegations in the
parade, aside from the Detroit car
ric-s, we're those from New York,
Cleveland, Toledo, st. Louis, Columbus
and Grand Rapids, all of which were
accompanied by large brass bands.
First in line was the New York let
ter carriers band Of GO pieces, whose
playing aroused an enthusiasm which
was maintained all along the line. The
crowds of spectators who pressed
against the ropes along Woodward
avenue seemed quite as large as hat
which witnessed the big Labor day
parade earlier in the day. Among the
features were representations of the
Detroit marine mail delivery service,
and of the rural free delivery service.
The route of march was unusually
long, and ended at the Light Guard
armory.
Within the armory the luncheon was
prepared on many long tables, with
plates to accommodate 1900 men.
Every place was quickly taken by the
thirsty, hungry marchers, and the
Detroit contingent composed an over
flow, most of whom waited for a Sec
ond chance. Conditions were SIM
liar in the basement, where 500 plates
had been laid for the carriers la
dies.
Later in the evening the gayly deco
rated drill hall contained a large pub
lie audience Of visitors and citizens.
The carriers were cordially welcomed
by Mayor Maybury and Postmaster
Dickerson, and were also addressed by
A.. w. Machem, of Washington, super
intendent OF the free delivery service.
Columbus and Chattanooga are cam
Gidates for next years convention.
At the reception it was announced
that the first prize for the best ap-
.pearance in the parade Monday after
noon $50 in gold, went to Columbus,
o. Toledo took second prize of $50
and Ann Arbor, Mich, third, $50.

CAN'T FOOL THE GERMANS.
Democratic Attempts to Lead Them
Astray on "ImDeria1ism" FAN
Altogether.

Des Moines, Aug. 3o.-The demo-
Gratis had a conference in this city
yesterday, in which they managed to
find a good deal of hope of success in
four congressional districts n Iowa,
namely, the Second, Sixth, First and
Eighth districts. Since the nomina-
ton of Henry Vollmer in the Second
district they do not have as much
hope of carrying that district. In
1896, when the issues were almost
identically the same as they are now,
Mr.. Vollmer stumped the state for
Palmer and Buckner and denounced
William j. Bryan in his usual intern
perate and violent style. He attacked
them especially on the money ques-
ton and because of their champions
ship of the 16 TO / theory he de-
nounced them without reservation as
anarchists. Now he swallows these
words, supports the platform declar-
ing for 16 to / and asks the votes of
these anarchists" to elect him to
congress.
The democrats resolved in this con-
ference to devote their energies ex-
clusiyely to the so-called imperialistic
issue, and particularly to try to de-
ceive voters of foreign birth into the
belief that the United States is about
to inaugurate a foreign policy which
will require a great standing army,
similar to the armies maintained by
the European nations. They are es-
pecially trying to brighten the Ger
mans by their unsupported assertions
that the country is to be taxed and
its citizens impressed into the army
as the men of Germany are. The
democrats are following their old pol
icy of appealing only to the passions
and prejudices of men and they are,
as usual, without proof to support
their assertions.
The most careful investigation
shows that the German voters of the
state are not being affected by these
appeals, which are not complimentary
to Germans because they presume
ignorance on the part of the Germans.
The latter have been looking into the
matter for themselves as they find
how the democrats are trying to de-
ceive them, and so the imperialistic
issue has no terrors for the Ger
mans. They are too busy making
money under the protection of the
United States government, with its
sound currency laws, to be led astray
by scheming politicians trying to get
their votes to their own injury to
serve the ends of democratic schem-
ers. The Germans are thoroughly de-
voted to the sound money cause.
They have no sympathy whatever
with any attempt to debase the If
rency. They know that the safety of
all business lies in a safe and stable
money. They see that the democratic
party stands for the reputation of
debts and for a debasement of the
currency that will cut values in two,
Just the same as it was in 1896. And
so they will vote as they did in 1896
in support Of the party that stands
for a dollar that will always be worth
100 cents, Just as much tomorrow as
it was yesterday.
The German newspapers of the
country have a very large circulation
in Iowa, and these are nearly all sup
porting the republican party in this
campaign for the same reasons that
they did in 1896.

Coincidence.

Mr.. j. A. Darnaby, who has the
War Exhibition at the Fair Grounds

guest of Col. Cody Buffalo Bill from
Chicago to Davenport last night.

Col. Cody, the big show, and this
week finds them both here, each
with their own show and both fea-
turing the BATTLE of San Juan hill "

Washington, Sept. 3.-The date OF
President McKinley's departure for
Canton has not been fixed. He had
hoped to be able to leave this week,
largely on account of the condition
of Mrs. McKinley's health, but the i'm
portant character of the Chinese ne
gotiations necessitates his presence
here at least until the present crisis
is passed. At the white house every
thing is in readiness for the presi-
dents departure, but it is now be-
lieved that he and Mrs. Mckinley will
not get away until the middle of next
week.

ELECTION IN
The Entire Democratic state Ticket
Successful by n slightly Re-
duced Majority.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 4.-The entire
democratic ticket headed by Hon. JEFF
Davis, Of Pope county, for governor
was elected in Arkansas Monday.
Early returns indicate that the vote
will be lighter than was expected. H.
L. Kennel, the republican candidate
for governor. made a good showing and
his increased vote over two years ago
will probably reduce the usually large
democratic majority.
Returns are coming in slowly. The
negroes voted in larger numbers than
usual. but their vote is not large
enough to affect the result. A fair es-
innate places the total vote as follows:
Davis (dem.), 100, 900; Kennel (rep),
10000; Files (pop), 5000; Davis major
ity, $1,000.
