Malachi Called

Malachi Morse Of Millersville paid US
pleasant call at the Bugle office last week.
We stopped yScr', and told Malachi to set
down which he done and give him some
tobacco to smoke N his pipe and ohatted
freely about crops ct oetera hoping that
Malachi would bye and bye lead up to
the subjeckt OF his subscripshion 70 the
Bugle which he is now behind on 10 the
extent Of 50. But Malachi didn't never
mention that topic and after he had

valuable time he left saying he was glad
he called and that he would always stop
in when he come to Bingvple. We trust
the next time ne comes he will settle up.

HOW GEN. SHERMAN HELPED
Was Kind to a Boy Who Yearned
to See Him.
Picked Lad Up on Muddy Road and
Got Him 10 the Celebration
on Time.

It Is not always the great things men
do that keep their memory alive. Ere
quently it is some small 3ct Of kindli-
ness. some pleasant speech or manly
courtesy. which remains in the minds of
those who knew them. SO in Illinois there
Is a young man who thinks Of Gen. Sher-
man not as "Old Tecumseh,' the soldier,
victor In strenuous campaigns, says the
Youths Companion. but as kindly,
rough-bearded old gentleman who car
ried him over miles Of road on his lap
IN order that at the end he might really
see his boyish hero, the soldier.
1t was in the early SOS. The country in
which the boy lived was 10 dedicate a
soldiers. monument on Memorial Day.
Gen. Sherman and Gov Oglesby were
10 be the two speakers of the occasion.
From where the boy lived II was six
miles to the county seat He had 10
walk the distance. But worst Of all mis-
fortunes. It rained all the day before,
when ne should have been working in the
garden. and so on Memorial Day the
boy had to get down on hands and knees
and pull weeds under a brOiling SUM-
across row after row OF young vege-
tables. so that he did not get away from
home until ! o'clock.
Only an hour and six miles 10 90, He
knew It was useless. 1t would take him
two hours, and when be got there he
would find everything over and the gener-
al gone-and there was no use in any
thing anyway. Tears rolled down his
cheeks now and then, and he felt like a
much abused boy.
Every little while a buggy or carriage
passed him going In his direction, but al
OF them were full, and there was no
one to give him a lift. But AT last
when he was certain that he could new.
or get there, a busgy which cana VI
from behind did not pass, but stopped
beside him.
"Hello. bub" said a kindly voice. Go.

Toledo Declares For Wide Open Town
 and Re-eIects Brand WhitIock, the
 Novelist-coIonel Leopold Markbreit,
 Republican, Carries Cincinnati.
 Cleveland, O., Nov. 6.-Tom L. John son has been reelected mayor for a fourth time over Congressman Theo- dore E. Burton, chairman of the house committee on rivers and harbors.
 Representative Burton issuedJa state ment conceding the election of his op- ponent by from 4,OOO to 5000 plural ity.
 The vote throughout the city was one of the closest in history. So great was the interest in the outcome that at 5:30 o'clock great crowds were in line at all of the polling places waiting to cast their ballots.
 Johnson made his fight on the three cent street car fare proposition, while Burton insisted that the charge should not be less than seven tickets for 9 cents.
 Brand Whitlock Wins Again.
 The result was in great doubt until late hour, both sides claiming victory until Burton issued his statement ad- hitting his defeat.
 Brand Whitlock, the novelist mayor of Toledo, has been reelected. He fla vored a wide open town, while R. A. Bartley, the Republican candidate, was pledged to the closing of saloons on Sunday and the gambling houses.
 Whitlock ran as an independent, and the fact that he has trimphed over Bartley and Benjamin Stevenson, the Democratic candidate, attests his pop ularity. The entire independent ticket, which was headed by Whitlock, won.
 One of the amusing incidents of the Toledo election was the fact that Cy- rus Townsend Brady, who fought Whitlock bitterly through the cam paign, could not cast his ballot be- cause he had forgotten to register.
 The election of Colonel Leopold Markbreit. Republican candidate for mayor of Cincinnati. is conceded by the opposition parties. Reports indi- cate that his plurality will be not less than 10000.
 Returns from 20 out of 139 precincts in Columbus give c. A. Bond Rep) for mayor, 2.763; Judge A. J. Duncan

were sent to look into the trouble. Al A--glesea some one tempered with the voting machine during the night and the election officers were authorized by the secretary of state to use the ordi- nary ballot box until an inspector ar rived.

Pennsylvania Elects Sheatz.

Philadelphia. Nov. 6. - John E. Sheatz, Republican candidate for state treasurer is elected by about 175,000 over John G. Harman Oem.). This was the only state office voted for, and light vote was boiled in nearly ev- cry county. The judicial contests in Luzerne, Northampton and Schuylkill brought out a large vote in those coun- ties. There was virtually little inter- est in the contests in other counties which elected judges. Philadelphia voted in favor of the $10,000,O00 loan proposition.

TAMMANY WINS IN GOTHAM.
Fusion Forces Are Showed Under In
 New Yobk City Election.

New York, Nov. 6.-As had been gen orally expected by political observers, the election in this city resulted in a sweeping victory for the Tammany ticket in Manhattan. Foley is elected sheriff over Ihmsen by 26,723.
 The McCarren hosts went down to defeat in Brooklyn. Early this morn. ing the Republicans claimed and the Democrats conceded the election of all the Republican candidates on the coun- ty ticket, with the single exception of Clarke, Democratic candidate for dis trict attorney.
 The majorities by which the Repub- licans were elected varied greatly. Clarke ran far ahead of his ticket, and estimates of his plurality varied from 12,000 to 1S,00O. With only siXty-five election districts missing, his plurality approximated the latter figure.
 The repudiation of the Hearst-P Par sons compact by Republicans was clearly demonstrated in the supposed Republican strongholds, where the ma jorities were well below normal. The utter weakness of the Independence league as factor in state politics as we'll as in this city was demonstrated in the vote for court of appeals judges, the league polling less than one vote in six.
 Of the many arrests made that were accounted for by errors on the part ot the election officers in charge of the different polling places perhaps the most amusing was that of Congress man Bourke Cochran. When the con gressman entered the little barber shoI at 189 Third avenue, the polling place of the Ninth election district of the Twelfth assembly district, to cast his ballot he was approached by Police man Walter Thornton of the East Twentysecond street police station and informed that he was under ar rest.

 In Hoboken Steil, the regular Demo. crat, was elected by q safe plurality.
 1t is too early to forecast the com plexion of the legislature. The senate will continue Republican. The Demo crats are believed to have elected liar rison over Shinn (Rep) in Ocean coun' ty. This will increase the Democratic representation in the senate from sev' en to eight. The reelection of Senator Hillery (Rep.) of Morris is in doubt.

 To make the discontinue of the Re publicans the more complete the Dem ocrats elected all but twenty of the sixty members of assembly voted for.
 At Democratic state headquarters the leaders were declaring that New York financiers who are commuters and live in the northern part of the state were responsible for the Republican defeat Some went so far as to say that for mer adherents of the c.

 Trenton, N. J., Nov. 6. - Frank s. Katzenbach, Jr., the Democratic candi- date, seems to have been elected gov ernor by a few thousand plurality over John Franklin Fort his Republic an opponent. Katzenbach, however, failed to carry his own district, which is in the fashionable west end section, where the Republicans are most nu- merous. Nevertheless he succeeded in cutting down the Republican vote by large margin. He lost his district by 70 and his ward by 40. Last year the district went Republican by 132 and the ward by 236.
 The Democratic state committee claims Katzenbach's election, but Judge Fort does not concede this and says the result is close.
 At his home in East Orange Judge Fort safd:-
 '"The result so far as have it is too close for me to make any statement Even if I am elected I shall not make any statement until the vote is care fully gone over and corrected"
 MT. Katzenbach voted at $50 o'clock, when he was greeted as governor by his neighbor, John E. Gill, the Repub- lican candidate for mayor.
 The result was hailed with great sat isfaction by the Democrats, as they had to overcome the Republican plu- rality of 51,644 cast for Governor Stokes in 1904.
 Mayor Pagan Defeated.
 Partial returns indicate that the Democrats have carried Essex county by about 4,0OO and Hudson county by 15,OOO.
