The Democratic managers are issu-
ing statements to the effect that the
outlook is encouraging and that Bry-
ans election is now practically assured.
They base this prediction on reports
that have been received, one of which Is
that "the returns from oregon show
enormous Democratic gains" If the
Democrats everywhere make gains like
those in Oregon their ticket will not
win In a single state outside of those
where they have DISTINGUISHED the

1t sometimes happens that the evil
designs OF the wicked are frustrated in
most unexpected ways and oft times
the trend OF events conceived Of and set
in motion by the Vaccinations Of the
minions OF mischief are diverted into
channels Of bencfcence and blessing.
A notable instance Of this character
occurred on Wednesday evening, Hal.
lowe'en, in the eastermost corner Of our
city.
Joseph Fetzner had, during the sum
mer, caused to grow supply OF pump
kins, which numerously numbered his
lot. With these ho had been supplying
some Of his neighbors, notably II. II.
Barton, the ieweler. Mr.. Barton
appreciated the pumpkins and the only
drawback to the arrangement seemed
the inconveiepce and fatigue Of trans
porting the golden fruit the quarter OF a
mile, more or less, which separates the
two residences.
Young America, out for the evening
and bent on maintaining the traditions
Of the night. perceived the pumpkins,
1t is an inexplicable fact that Hal.

kin like moth TO candle. The
globular products one seen, II was past
argument that something had to be done
with them. The bows decided that all
that was needed 10 promote their
unalloyed happiness WAS TO carry those
pumpkins over to Mr.. Barton's and
stack them In his yard. This wac done
and the prankers gloried in glee at the
havoc they had wrought.
Both Mr.. Fetzner and Mr.. Barton
were well pleased at the favor which
had been done. The boys had theil
fun, Mr.. Barton has the pumpkins ant
all is serene.
