Despite the many operations, the

covery.
When she gains a little strength she
will be operated on for hernia,

A Pleasant Election,
of
One of the great beauties about such
an election as that recently held in
[ows is that it pleases everybody. The
Democrats are pleased because they
elected their candidate and held their
vote. The figures show that in 1912
Wilson bad 1734 less votes than Roose
velt and Taft combined, aud on Tues.
day last the Democratic candidate had
772 fewer votes than the Republican
and Progressive nominees. The Re
publicans profess to be mightily
pleased because they polled more bal-
lots in 1914 than in 1912, and the Pro-
gressives are tickled to death because
they stuck a knife in the Republicans’
ribs and made it impossible for them
to win.
Altogether, it was a very pleasant
election and gratifying to all concern-
ed in it. During the pext two years
there are likely to be a large number
of such agreeable and Inspiring con-
tests throughout the country. Tcey
may be sald to be a part of the new era
of good feeling introduced by Wouod-
row Wilson.
Altoons Basiness Men Duped.
An olly-tongued man representing
himeelf as Henry O. Hess swindled
three Altoona business men on HSalor-
day. Hess came to that city on Fri-
day previous and represented that be
was looking for a factory site, and it
was only a short time until all Altoona
became interested. A suitable sile was
found, and everything moved along
rapidly. Between talking of the
establishing of sa mapufacturing ee
tablishment, Hess got three checks
cashed, the sums being $50, $75 and
$50. On Baturday someone became
suspicious and communicated with tbe
Harrisburg back on which the checks
were drawn, and the exposure follow-
ed. Hess lingered too long, and was
taken into custody by the Altoona
police, the charge beipg forgery and
false pretense,
