The Assassin's Fatal Bullet.

On Friday afternoon of last week the eoun-
try was thrilled with the announcement that
a change for the worst had taken place in the
condition of President Mckinley. Telegraph
and newspaper offices were beseiged with
people in all stations of life for the latest
news, and not since the assassination of Lin
coin and Garfield has the whole country been
so stirred night of suspense was passed,
and at 2l5 a. m. Saturday the news of his
death was flashed from pole TO pole and from
ocean to ocean. A pail seemed to fall upon
the earth, and threats against the assassin and
his kind were unrestrained. Unfortunately a
few indiscrcet persons gave utterance to ex-
pressions that called forth summary punish
ment by those nearest them, and they soon
sought more congenial company.
At all times death is appalling, one may
drop dead on the street, or in his house, and
it is terrible shock; but when it comes from
the hands of an assassin, with cold, calm de-
liberation, shock and sympathy are changed
into feeling of contempt for the cowardly
perpetrator One loses all the finer feelings
OF sympathy and is willing TO assist in almost
any thing that will remove the perpetrator OF
SO heinous a crime from the sight of man.
Such calamity makes all the world akin.
To the dead President the country laid pro-
found sorrow; to his wife and relatives sym
pathy unbounded; while the nations OF the
earth commingled their sorrow with ours.
The President in his last period of concious
ness, which ended about 7.40, p. M, Friday
night, chanted the words of the hymn, Near
err my God to Thee" and his last audible
conscious words as taken down by DIR. Mann
at the bedside were
"Good-bye, all good -bye. 1t is Gods way
His will be done

Senator Hanna's Life Believed to Be
in Danger.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Led
ger, dated Cincinnati, September II, says =
If information that is in the hands of the
proper authorities is true, then Senator Han
mas life is in danger. Senator Hanna takes
the matter lightly, but his friends are appre-
hensive, and they have seen to it that he goes
nowhere unless an officer or two accompanies
him.
There are letters in the hands of the author
tiles to the effect that the Senator is to be as
sassinated Most of them were written in the
East, but several of them were written and
mailed in Cleveland. Every letter as it is
received is carefully preserved and placed in
the hands of officers, corps of whom are at
work now trying to locate the writers.

BURLINGTON, N. j.. Sept. 10.--Many women
in Burlington are suffering from what is known
as caterpillar itch, which attacks the limbs
below the knees, and was at first evidenced by
the apparent uneasiness with which the ladies
listened to full hour sermon Sunday or two
ago. On that occasion they just rubbed one
foot against an ankle, and made the other act
in reciprocal manner.
Burlington is infested with an awful plague
of caterpilars, and the pavements are literally
alive with them. In walking along the streets
the women's skirts gather up the fuzzy mate
rial from the insects and conduct it to the

There is no reason why every Democrat in
Carroll cannot give the whole ticket, State,
judicial and Local, thorough and hearty
support. Each nominee is of high character
and standing in his respective neighborhood,
is fitted for the position for which he has been
nominated, and compares favorably with any
heretofore placed before the public.

treatment on all sides. The papers published
his remarks about the shooting of President
Nc KinIey, and nearly every organization, OF
which he. is or was member. is after his

OF our loved sister, ELLA MURRAY, who entered
into Heavenly rest. one year ago, September 19

Through all pain. at times she'd smile,
A smile of Heaven ly birth;
And when the Angels called her home,
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaiaeth now our treasure,
Firth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbedms love to linger,
Where our sainted sister sleeps.
