THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

The Mysterious Man ofthe Hotel.
That was the name he passed by
among those who futilely sought to
ascertain his business. He was de-
bonair; he wore diamonds; he de-
posted 800 in bank when he ar
rived, he went hunting and knew
practically nothing of the sport; and
he didn't seem to have an object in
life.
Then he took a definite interest
in life. He fell in love with maid
at the hotel, and on Sunday, Octo-
Der goth, Charles Miliman was
united in marriage to Miss Maud
Heilman, by Rev. DR.. Shindel.
And still he lived at the hotel.
And now the mystery will be
solved. He was New York detec-
tive. About six weeks or more ago,
the firm of II. B. Claflin 81 Co., in
that city was robbed of about S3s,-
900 by its book-keeper. The latter,
of course, disappeared. Detectives
were sent out. Among them was
the Mysterious Man.
He traced the embezzler to Wilkes
Barre. There, at a hotel he got a
glimpse at the contents of letter
which the embezzler had written to
his wife in New York. In it TIE
embezzler told her to meet him at
Sunbury, yesterday; to watch care
fully lest she be followed, and in
that case to throw her "shadowers"
off the track, if possible. 1t was
clever scheme, but Mysterious Man
was a second edition of Old Sleuth.
He came to Danville two weeks
ago; he appeared and acted as the
opening paragraph would indicate,
and patiently waited for the de-
nouement, falling in love and get
ting married being but an incident
in his career. None took him to be
a detective. He seemed too guile
less and unconcerned to fit the ac-
cepted description.
Yesterday he went to Suubury,
accompanied by John Fisher. He
met and gobbled his man, and put
him in Sunbury Jail for safe-keep-
ing. He drove back here after the
exploit, and Jake Winters took the
team back to Sunbury. This morn
ing, Milliman left for Sunbury, to
take his prisoner on to New York.
1t is big capture, and this is why

If the woman at work should make

it seemed that every movement would

A Sleeper.

A sleeper is one who sleeps; and a
sleeper is a saloon carriage on a rail-
way train IN which the sleeper sleeps;
and a sleeper Is tie under the rails
on which the sleeper in which the
sleeper sleeps is run. Now, then, when
the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper that
is carried over the sleeper under the
sleeper in which the sleeper sleeps,
the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper until
the sleeper in which the sleeper sleeps
jumps off the sleeper, and wakes the
sleeper in the sleeper by humping
against the sleeper until there is no
longer any sleeper sleeping in the
sleeper in which the sleeper sleeps.

woRkINoMEN, IT'S UP TO you
Here Are Facts For the ToiIer to Con.
slider.

The election is at hand and every
citizen should cast an honest intelligent
vote-a vote unstained by threat or
bribe. The laboring man who does
not vote to defend himself, his family
and his business against men who have
refused to aid him when he needed
help, ought to lose his right to cast
a ballot. The laboring man who does
not vote as he strikes, in favor of
better wages and better conditions Is
false to himself, to his family and to
his fellow workingman.
Hon e. A. Coray, Jr., who is now
q candidate for state treasurer was also
a member of the legislature and voted
for every one OF the laboring mans
bills. f. A. Harris is also a candidate
for state treasurer and he was likewise
a member of the last legislature. How
vote at all, but played the coward and
lodged every one of them, and yet he
has the impudence to ask workingmen
to vote for him.
Mr.. Coray voted for the employers s
liability act, allowing the laboring man
the right to sue for damages If he is
injured by the fault of an employer
How did Mr.. Harris vote? Just as
he always did, against the interests Of
the common people and in favor of
corporations. Every man who earns
his bread by honest toll owes it to him
self and his fellows to do all he can
against Harris and all his kind. Coray
was always right Harris was always
wrong. Vote for Coray and your own
interests.

How the Quay Ring Violates the Law
In Philadelphia.

How the Quay Ring Violates the Law
In Philadelphia. J
In recent speech at an enthusiastic
Democratic meeting in Philadelphia,
Ex-Governor Pattson said:
"The old adage that in union there
is strength was never truer than it is
in this canvass. The same uniformity
of purpose that was necessary in the
early SOS for the preservation of the
nation is essential today to preserve
the integrity of our city. l do not re-
call a campaign in 80 years in which
the citizens Of Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania presented such a united front
against a debauched and disgraceful
rule as they do today
'The men who are in power today
have an absolute disregard for the con-
stitution, upon which all legislation Is
based. Instead of government Of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie. the condition that we have today
is a government of ofiiceholders, for
officeholders and by officeholders.
Consider one part of it alone-the
ballot laws. That no policeman, no
firemen, no city officials shall interfere
in elections or try in any way to con-
troll or influence the peoples votes.
And what have we today? AS learned
in recent tour of the wards, the city
is absolutely under the power of these
men. At every polling place you will
find Is or 20 officeholders with clubs.
The old-fashioned people would never
have allowed that; they fought for
their rights. How long are we going
to allow it?
"And yet there are some Of us who
are indifferent to all this, who say my
family first, then my state Fellow
citizens, the first duty of every man
is to his state-if 1t were not for his
state he would have no family We
must throw off this yoke. l believe
sincerely that we will be restored to
our own on election day"

THE WAY TO SECURE
HONEST ELECTIONS
Every Citizen Should Vote For the
Constitutional Amendments.

The proposed amendment to the
constitution in the interest of personal
registration is one of the most i'm
portant matters that will come before
the people at the November election
While the general interest revolves
around the election of the state and
county officers, the fact should not be
lost sight of that the registration
amendment is a direct stride in the
conducting the elections in Pennsyl-
vania. The defeat of the amendment
at the coming election will prevent
its reintroduction in the legislature
within a period of five years
The registration amendment has
been endorsed by the new Union
party, the Democratic organization
and the independent lement generally.
At the same time many individual
leaders of the Republican party have
expressed themselves as heartily in
favor of the amendment.
The proposed amendment discrimi-
mates between the cities and the
country, enabling the Legislature, in
providing for personal registration, to
confine it to the larger cities of the
commonwealth.
This discrimination between the
cities and the rural district is in re-
cognition of the fact that to compel
personal registration in the country
would entail only hardship and need
less expense, without bringing about
any good result. Personal registra-
tion in Philadelphia and the larger
cities of the state means the practical
elimination of the fraud which has
become notorious in connection with
the elections.
