Yong physician of Taylor, Tex. while
travelling on the Southern Pacific west
bound train today, in company with
mis- wife, went into the toilet room of
the tourist car and took his life with a
razor. He was a sufferer from nervous
prostration and melancholia and was
travelling for his health. Every muscle
and artery in the neck was severed and
the spinal column was all that pre-
vented the head from being severed
from the body.

LETTER TO w. III. DAVIS
Dawson, Ga.


Dear Sir: Here's a tale with
three or four tails to it.
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used
to take 80 gallons of paint. There
were two paint-stores there, and he
used to buy Zone year of one, next
year of the other) 80 gallons year
after year.
Now he paints Devoe so gallons,
and the difference is a saving Of
$3.50 year.
H c Fallon was one of those deal
ers, good man; but he wouldn't take
up Devoe; so we turned to the 9TH
er, J A Boyd But Fallon has found
it necessary to get good paint to
compete with DevOe. He got one
of the eight honest paints. He has
big hardware store and is doing
an excellent hardware business; but
Boyd, of course, has the run on
paint-he's a little hardware man.
We don't care how little or glib a
man is, if he wants good paint and
is active and sound. Yours truly,
F w DEVOE & co
P. S. Peoples Drug Store sell our
paint.

for gains and the computation that
put us down to gain only three in
Indiana is in error. Colorado has
been claimed for a gain of one, but
will do better than that. New Jer-
sey is hopelessly torn up, and is to
be counted on for at least three"
Chairman Griggs figures out, in
short, a gain of rather better than
the sixty-seven claimed in other COM
putations.

of the campaign" he said, ito let
matters shape themselves; then we
got busy. But in general the state
ment is fair that disaffection in the
east, added to western sentiment on
the tariff question, is going to make
the gains for democracy. There is
no telling how much more we may
gain than these of which we are con-
fident, because in the last days of
this campaign the drift has been so
strongly toward the democrats that
there is no safe guessing how far
it may 60"

FROLIC OF THE FAIRIES.
Miss May Clark Hostess at a Charm
ing Halloween Party.


On last Wednesday evening MISS
Nav Clark was the gracious hostess
of the Entre-Nous club here at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank E. Clark, on Stonewall street
In view of the fact that this was
Hallow-E'en the entertainment was
animated by the spirit of mirthful-
ness and fun which this time in
variably suggests, and there were
many enjoyable and unique features
on the program.
The house was tastefully decor
ated with autumn leaves, chrysan-
themums and jack-o-lanterns. AS
the guests arrived they were served
with hot chocolate by Miss Ellen AL
ley. The divinity that brings good
luck" was aimed at by throwing APP
pies through the horseshoe, and
some fortunate ones made good.
Another mirthful diversion was try
ing fortunes with three saucers,
one being empty, another containing
clear water and the third filled with
muddy water. AS in every day life
so with this adventure, there were
varied experiences for the partici-
pants. The wheel-of-fortune presid-
ed over by "a witch" was novel
and attractive feature and afforded
much pleasure and amusement dur
ing the evening. All present took
part in a word contest, the object
being to form the greatest number
of words with the letters in Hal
LOWE en-" Misses Ella Christie and
Ethel Hill tied for the lady's prize
and settled the issue by drawing
lots, Miss Hill winning. Messrs, r.
H. Hankinson and Henry Paschal
made the same number of words and
drew for the gentleman's prize, the
latter being successful. 1t fell to
Mr.. Davis Martins lot to carry of
the "booby" During the evening
consisting of delicious
fruit-salid and waters, were served.
Each guest was presented with a
very pretty hand-painted jack-o-lan-
tern. The occasion was a most en-
ioyable one and all present will ever
treasure fragrant memories of this
happy Halloween.

GRIGGS EXPECTS Ct GAIN.
PREDICTS DEMOCRATS WILL
CARRY THE HOUSE TODAY.
RidicuIes the Million Postal Cards
Sent Out by Republican
Committee.

An election is being held through
out the United States today (Tues-
day. for a new congress.
Hon. ]. M Griggs, of Dawson, who
has managed the campaign for the
democrats, is very sanguine of the
result, and has figured out gain OF
sixty-seven members for his party.
Everything has been coming our
way for the last thirty days, he
saws: THE republicans have sent
out from their headquarters in New
York 100000 pos,al cards calling
on their voters with a Macedonian
cry to get to the polls and vote for
the party candidates to save the con-
troll of the house. We haven't the
money to send out million postals.
1t has cost our republican friends
$4,000 to do it, but the people re-
alize the situation. They don't care
a continental about the republican
cards, and they don't need cards
from us.
Not only are local conditions in
many states favoring us, but there
is a widespread unrest regarding
the tariff Many people for a long
time suppressed their dissatisfaction
with the republican tariff policy be-
cause they thought the president was
at heart for tariff revision and would
get around to it in due time. That
kept the masses of tariff revision re-
publicans lined up for a long While,
but when they came TO realize that
the administration had gone over to
the stand-patters they saw the error
of their way.
The claim Of a gain OF ten in
New York is safe. The claim OF one
gain each in Massachusetts, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Montana, Dele
ware, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Idaho and Virginia are all good, but
in Pennsylvania we will gain more
than six. Similarly the claim OF a
democratic gain OF six in Illinois is
too conservative. We will gain
eight in Missouri. Concessions or
five or six are made in Ohio, but
we know better. Iowa, Nebraska
and California can be counted on
