where in Illinois.

Chicago, April 3,--Cartor' II, Harri.
son was reelected mayor of Chicago
for the second time and will next
chief executive of the city. His total
plurality over Judge Elbridge Hanecy
the republican nominee, will be in the
neighborhoOd of 2S,257. The total
vote of the city with eight precincts
to hear from give Harrison l56,952,
Hanccy l2S695; Harrison's plurality
2S,072.
In the last mayoralty election the
vote was; Harrison (dem) 14S,496;
Harlan (repD 107 4S7; Harrisons pn-
rality 4l,059 Out of thirty-tlve wards
of the city, Harrison yesterday car
ried 26, Hanecy ., The vote was bad
ly split, some of the strongest repub-
lican parts of the city giving only
small plurality for the party nominee
and some of them going for Harrison,
who however, is suffering in some OF
the democratic strongholds. City
wards were re-districted after presi-
dertial election and the regular ma
Jorities in some wards turned squarely
around from what they have always
been. The redistricting will make
some difference in the com
plexion of the next municipal
council, as several aldermen
who in ordinary circumstances
would have held over, were re-distriCt.
ed entirely out of their wards. Where
there were two-hold-overs the new
council will decide which of the men
are entitled to the seat and where
there are none, and two men We're
elected at the present election, the
courts will be called upon to decide
the legality of the election For
| these reasons it is impossible at this
| time to predict the exact formation of
the new council, but indications are
at present the republicans will have
working majority. The present
body consists of 80 republicans, q
democrats, 4 independents. Of hold.
overs 16 are republicans, 10 demo.
Gratis and independents.
The chief issue in the campaign
| has been the granting Of franchises ~
street car companies These all eX-
| pire soon by limitation and the terms
| of extension are TO be settled during
the next two years. Harrison has in
| former years made a record against
granting long franchises and his fol.
lowers claimed throughout the cam
| paign the republican nominee was in
| clined to grant long time privileges.
Hanecy was the nominee of the re.
publican machine which was domi.
mated by congressman William
Lorimer. and this fact cost him many
votes in his party The democratic
| following Of Ex-Governor AltgeId was
against Harrison one Of the features
Of the campaign was the aldermanIc
contest in the 2lst ward. Mayor Har.
risons home ward where honOre
Palmer, son of Mr.. and Mrs Potter
Palmer, was a candidate for election
on the democratic ticket. 1t being his
! first essay in politics. His opponent
was S. p. Helm, republican, who has

was elected by majority Of about

Boys Growing Into Criminals.

Boys are scarcely to be b AIMED for initiating
men Many of the latter are setting dangerous
example. Robberies, murders and other crimes
are INDUCED in by them. Why should the small
boy not take hand in them. too, in this knowing

ing strange. While their youth and the examples
set them excuse them in large measure, and their
violations of law are petty, yet they should not be
allowed the privilege OF letting the habit grow upon
them. They can scarcely be punished in any
other way than by the parental correction, but the
state provides for their reform. If not taken in
hand by the parents they should be committed to
the Reform School, and the sooner the better for
them There are plenty of criminals without
rearing more. These boys have started on the
downward road and unchecked they will be Ia the
worst criminals lane upon arriving at manhood's
estate. Their future is fearful to contemplate

but never have any money when arrested, nor
have they any visible means of support, How
they live is mystery. How they get their whisky
is still a greater mystery. They are worthless in
every sense of the word They do themselves no
good, nor is anyone benefited by them. They are
practically good for nothing. Hence, we fail to
see the reason for their existence. But they live
on and we have them with US always What shall
we do with them? Imprisonment neither deters
them in the lives they lead, nor corrects them.

reform. The cost of a Jail sentence is wasted upon
them The ball and chain method has long since
been numbered in the category of barbarisms.
The buns we have here could only be induced to
awaken from their lethsrgy enough to drag balls
and chains around by being prodded with redhot
irons or pitchforks, Their labors on the street
under such system would benefit neither them
nor the city. The working of prisoners on the
streets has been tried and found woefully inefec

Prosperity Teaches a Lesson.

The democratic farmers, who are selling sneir
coal at Mckinley prosperity prices should siD
down around their prosperous and happy hresldes
and seriously consider their politics few hours
Thew have spent their lives voting and supporting
the democratic ticket and wasted all their energies
upon fallacious cause. However beautiful In
theory the democratic platforms may appear, yet
thew have been conclusively shown impractical.
When democratic principles and theories are put
into.actua practice they fail The farmer could
scarcely give his coal away under democratic
administration. Now he gets almost any price his
conscience will allow him to ask. Such gigantic
activity in coal was never known. The democratic
farmer in Harrison county is shrewd and intelli-
gent enough to find the cause for these greatly In
creased prices and extensive demands for coal lands,
aud he need not go beyond the republican
party and its practical business principles to ar
rive at a proper conclusion. The lesson these con.
ditions should teach him is the error of his way,
and he should have the moral courage TO resist
and forsake the democratic politician and cast his
lot with that political party, which is responsible
for the great prosperity at hand.

She Took Our Vinol with
Coed Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
II you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is symptom
that your system is generally demoral-
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. II. Boyle, OF So Chestnut
ST., West Newton, Mass, says:
''Last spring / used one bottle OF
Vinol. At that time l was all run
down and sick. find that it did me
lotsof good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in a delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ Of
the body.
We endorse VinoI, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

The Bank Statements.

The financial statements of the two national
banks of Clarksburg are published in this issue.
They make remarkable showing. The combined
assets of these banks exceed two million dollars.
This stupendous amount of money speaks in high
terms of the great prosperity of Clarksburg and
Harrison comfy and shows the great popularity
of these two splendid institutions They do big
business and they do a safe business. Their de-
posts amount to more than million and half Of
dollars and testify to the fact that the people of
the county have plenty of money, in fact, are rich
prosperous aid happy These banks are Differed
with men, whose superfors are rot to be found
under the skies.

Beatsl Beatsl BeatsI

Thugs and thieves appear to be licensed in
Clsrksburg Their way is smooth trodden, with
the thorn of the law brushed away. Their deeds
are repeated without moleststion and apparently
without fear OF molestation, Robbery after rob.
bery is reported, but seldom gets beyond the re.
cord,pg book and the names of the robbers never
oct on that book or any other, not even in the
rogue's gallery. Why? Are they up with the
times OF are we just behind the times? They are
sbrewd and cunning, but why should not the
oorservators of the peace be just as shrewd and
cunning The truth of the matter is Clarksburg
has outgrown old,time methods The police serv,
ics s Of 3 decade ago will not answer for to-day.
The latest and most improved system is none too
good and is urgent now. Beats! Beats! Why
eot have beats and enough good, capable men to
.ssoar them? Police protection is as much in de-
land as paved streets and just as important

-sctices and make ourselves power to be feared
by yioiators of the law.
