I was defeated by a gentleman whom I can support most ' heartily. If you remember, three years ago Mr. Miller was defeated for the office of Treasurer. He never complained. He took his defeat like a gentleman. No man in Centre county can point their finger to a spot on his private or public life. I have known Mr. Miller for a great many years and have had a good deal of business with him. I have always found him to be a man of honor. No one need have the least thought of not being treat- ed with courtesy in his office when he is elected Treasurer. | also wish to state that I have had personal and other let- ters requesting me to come out as an in- dependent candidate. To all of my {riends who supported me with such loy- alty, I thank you all most heartily. I have only one request to make of all, Go to the election and vote the straight Democratic ticket. All the candidates upon it I know personally. You will make no mistake in casting your votes ’ for every one of them. Very truly yours, JAMES SCHOFIELD.

From there it led to Monmouth, Ill, on Oct. 1, and last Sunday it reached the town The murders were all committed on Sunday nights and each two weeks apart. Oct. 29, if the schedule is main- tained, will be marked by a repetition of the crime. Police in central and western cities have been notified to | keep a strict watch for the criminal.

't is believed ihe murderer is in. sane and probably recently escaped from an asylum. It is thought that the | peculiar method of killing his victims and the chcice of Sunday and the hour of midnight as the time may reflect back upon the original cause of the man's incarceration in an asylum. Asylums for the insane in thc central | ' and western parts of the country have | been notified and descriptions of all | escaped persong are to be requested ‘ and sent to the police of all cities, | ' towns and villages.
