Stone, such as never dis- graced any otker state in the Union, and say whether any good citizen can vote to endorse Harris, who voted for all the rascality, while Coray, the independent republican, now on the fusion ticket, as the opponent of Harris, for state treas. urer, voted ard fought against all the jobbery. — -— CanpipATE Gardner has canvassed the greater portion of the county to look up his prothonotary fences and informs us the outlook for not only himself, but as to the entire ticket, is all that could be desired. Centre county is sure to cast a heavy vote agaivst the machine, and many republicans will join the Union forces and put themselves in unison with all who favor an end to corrupt ring rule and machine methods. ns ———————————— PArym and Coray for a half a dozen years fought shoulder to shoulder, in the legislature, against the machine and its astounding iniguities, and favored all the reform measures proposed by the demo- crats. Mr. Palm, by withdrawing in favor of Coray, shows by this act that he is a true patriot and sees in this fusion the only hope for the state to rid itself of | the robbers, jobbers and plunderers that | have disgraced the commonwealth, and | by means of bribery, pardons and plead- ing the limitation act kept themselves in power avd out of the penitentiary. EvERY honest voter of this boss rid. den state will see it his sacred duty to vote for Yerkes and Coray, for supreme judge and state treasurer, respectively. They are gentlemen of acter, and bave given abundant evi. dence of their fitness and hovesty. Thous- ands of honest republicans in Philedel- phia and throughout the state have openly espoused the movement for hon- est government and to drive from power | the men who have robbed the state of all that they could lay their hands on, and to accomplish this the independents will join with the democrats Yerkes and Coray. hot for fusion, and Yerkes and Coray, and cries, ‘‘death to the machine i Mr. BRYAN is opposed to any limita. tion upon the freedom of free speech, | which, be says, has been suggested asa cure for anarchy, Taking himself a an example, be says : The editor of the “Commonet’’ bas as much reason as any living man to know of the abuse sometimes heaped upon can- didates for office. He has been the vic- tim of as much malice and vitauperation | as have ever been employed against an American, and yet he is opposed to piac- ing any additional restriction upon the freedom of the press. Mr. Bryan believes the evils of restric- tion are greater than the evils of freedom, and further declares the death of Presi- dent McKinley cannot be traced to any- thing written against him. The warfare, he says, must be against anarchy, not agaiost freedom of speech. Anarchy, he insists, is a European product, and thrives most where there is the least freedom of Speees and of the press. Tur fight over the election of a presi- dent judge in the Union-Snyder district is red-hot. The Quay machive has put up Judge McClure for reelection while the democrats and independent republi- cans have placed Mr. Leiser, a promi. nent Lewisburg attorney, on their ticket against McClure, McClure’s record has been looked up on cases decided by him and which were appealed to the Supreme Court, and it turns out that in 42 cases out of every 100 the Supreme Court has re versed Judge McClure, That's pretty rough on him, but it’s just the kind of a man the machine wants and has use for. It was further ascertained that it cost almost £100 more to try a case under Judge McClure than it did under his predecessor, Judge Bucher, and that is about the way things run with a Quayite in any public position. If the people of that district re-elect McClure, there will be no cure; if they elect Leiser, surely they'll act wiser. Official Ballot. The official ballot for use at the com- ing election will be ten columns wide. In some counties it wiil be larger owing to local independent tickets. THE ISSUES. Little attention has been given thus far to political issues in this section, and yet the general election is but a few weeks ahead, Stone machine from power. It is useless funds by the legislature, with sistance of Gov. Store and the Quay machine. The story of how ballot box stuffing is practiced in Philadelphia and how miillons of dollars in valuable fran. cal freebooters, open bribery in the halls of are all known to the average well that of time to refer to legislation matters so citizen seems almost a waste them, That was What are yon going to do about it? When Stone a candidate for his present office he most is the question, Gov. solemnly vowed before high heaven that he would, if elected, be no man’s tool. willing champion for Quay and the ma. chine. All the power and influence at his command has been used to support the corrupt machine, until the name of tempt among her sister states. Decent republicans bave revolted, They will Frank Harris, of Clearfield, the republi- can nominee for state treasurer, is a polit. ical rooster, He championed and voted for all the infamous measures before the last legislature; he is a regulation Quayite. For Supreme Court the Quayites have nominated Stone's former law partner, the man who rendered the decision and broke the tie, thereby mak- ing the ‘‘Ripper Bills’ constitutional, Gov, offices in Pittsburg and Scranton, and he peddled eourt secrets to his political friends. To defeat these men prominent re- publicans have formed the Union Party, which will support Judge Yerkes for | Supreme Court, who was nominated by | the democrats. For State Treasurer they independent republican who has a record for being fearless and incorruptable. A. J. Palm, the democratic nominee for State Treasurer, has withdrawn from the ticket.

A dealer bought up two car loads of potatoes in the vicinity of Penn Cave about three weeks ago, paying farmers 65 cents cash for them. The potatoes were delivered on board the cars appar. ently sound and shipped to market, reaching which so many were attacked by the rot that the goods were returned to the shipper as vo good and proved a total loss to the dealer. James Carner, at Hublersburg, raised 10 bushels of potatoes, and a short time thereafter be bauled out 50 bushels that had rotted, and a few days thereafter hauled out another installment of 60 bushels that had rotted. This is the story of many farmers as to their this year's potato crop. URE FOR THE ROT. On Saturday Joel Tressler, of near Huablersburg, was in town and gave us some information on the subject of the pot.to rot. He gives it as his experi- ence that when there is trouble of pota- toes rotting they should be lime cured. His method of doing this is when the po. tafoes are put in the cellartotake slaked lime and scatter it over the potatoes un- til they are white with a thin coating of The action of the lime has the effect of absorbing the excess moisture of the tuber and stops the heating or fer. menticg that so often is the real cause of the rot. In many cases where potatoes had small spots on the lime stopped the process of decay. This is a remedy | easily applied and one that will cost very little. It will not injure the potato, in fact he claims that it improves the taste. Bear at State College.

In a short time he had cleared a small space revealed on the frozen ground a patch of dull red cola It was coagulated frozen blood. This was the beginning of the tangi- ble clews. The ground was carefully cleared ; all the snow was brushed off and mingled with the blood were found certain articles which bad belonged evi- dently to a man. Later on it was dis closed that the blood was that of the un. fortunate Clayson. But how many murderers were there, and where had they gone 7 In this coun- try when carly snow flies it cakes readily under the beels of a travelor. It freezes and then another snowfall covers it. To these blood stalvs and the tras proceed on follow there was but one way to hand or knees, ON HANDS AND KNENS, Here began another exhibition of pa- tience and skill. With the thermometer away below zero, McGaire with a small broom made of switches cleared away the heavy snow from over an acre of ground, working week after week on his hapds and knees; picking up and hand. | ling great clouts of clotted bloood, and | finding bundreds of yards apart articles | of wearing apparel and weapons, So pa- | tiently and carefully was this search con. | ducted that an ordinary pin was found { on the frozen trail. The trai! of the murderer led from the | scene of the first murder back to the tent | in the wilderness. The frozen heel marks hidden uader two feet of snow and un. | covered by McGuire's patient work re- | vealed this, The location of the blood and other | articles of Clayson’s led to the location of | blood and articles belonging to Olsen and 0 Rolfe. The bounds helped in this work. The fact that Olsen and Rolfe | were murdered at certain points was | shown by the finding of certain articles | near the blood stains, which it was prov- ed belonged to each of the unfortunate men. Up to this time the tent had not been investigated closely, nor the ground in its vicinity, but Detective McGuire had already formed his theory. It was this: : At least two men had occupied the tent. i It bad been constructed with a view to hiding its occtpants from the gaze of pas- sers on the trail. These men were deli. berate mugderers ; they had planned to waylay travelers. To this end McGuire found that they had cut down 27 trees on the bank so they could bave an unob- structed view of one and one-half miles down the river, thus seeing who case up the trail. They had sighted the three unfortun. ates on Christmas morning. One of the murderers had gone down the river and after the three men had passed had fall. en in behind them, The other had goue down the bank and headed off the vic. tims. There was then one murderer be. hind acd one in front. On the order to “hold up hands’’ the three men were told to raarch up the bank into the woods.

The half-burned clothing, the butions, buckles, eic., in the fire ashes told him of the attempt to de- stroy this evidence of the crime. He found where three bodies had been laid side by side in the snow, and where sled tracks had led from this point to the place on the bank where they bad been lowered to the river edge. The cut poles were found near by. Rolfe had a cheap watch, with only a few dollars and not worth stealing. This was found in a belt around his body. It had stopped at g.o5, showing that the body had been thrown into the river at | this time, That the men had frst been shot through the body and then later shot through the head to end their lives was shown by vowder stains on temples and behind their ears. In Olsen's case the buliet had passed through the jaw, carry- a portion of a tooth. It seems but this bullet was dug 10- ing with it wonder fu out of the frozen ground on the trail, gether with the piece of tooth which it bad carried away out of Olsen's jaws. It fitted exactly to the portion remaining in the victim when found, to tell, the skull of REMARKABLE DETECTIVE WORK The above is only a general outline of a piece of detective work which must rank as unexcelied in the annals of crimi. pal discovery. The search for evidence over thistract of ground covered 130days. For 120 days of this time Detective Mec Guire worked on his hands and knees searching every inch of the solidly froz. | en ground. Eyelets of moccasins, buckles, the line. man’s pincers, Clayson’s pocketknife, | Rolfe’s electric belt and a hundred other articles were found which the murderers believed would never come to light till | the spring thaw and they were a thou. | sand miles away. | But bow was O'Brien identified as the | murderer, or one of them? When he left Dawson after his release from serv. ing his sentence he was given an ax. This ax had two nicks on one side and | five on another, with a half-moon piece | the size of a half nickel out of the centre. | The trees which had been cut down to | let the murderers have a clear view down the river all bore this mark. The pole cut to dump the bodies in the river had this damaging evidence on their cut ends. This ax was found 125 feet away from the tent in the wilderness in the under. brush, It was indentified by the man in Dawson who gave it to O'Brien. The tent and the stove were positively identified as belonging to O'Brien. In his possession were found peculiar gold nuggets belonging to Clayson. Clayson had $5000 with him and Rolfe bad §i700.
