Fawcett and Lawrence who con stitute the people's ticket this fall are in a position to wager an aggres sive campaign and that, too, with every prospect of success. In the first place this ticket is good and in the second place they are in excell ent condition for the contest. Under the circumstances there should be no weakness in the party to discour age and hamper the work of others. What the party wants is a united front, with ever}' man a worker, and the majority that will follow will be surprising even to the most sanguine. Fawcett and Lawrence are well qualified to fill the possition to which they aspire. The tax payers of our county should give this a long thought. Every true American has more or less pride for his home and are doubly pleased to be represented by competent officers, for this reason the people of our couuty will join hands and elect the people's ticket Nothing ill can be said of this ticket They are clean men with a reputa tion as clean as the cleanist. The Democrats cried contest in 1594 be cause of fraud, can they consistently support a neighbor in 1895 who has been found giiilty of this charge ? No, as Streby says, the better class of our people will abstain from vot ing with the boodle class. Henry E. Fawcett the people's candidate for Sheriff is a straight forward younu man. Nothing of a mean order can be laid at his door. He is a farmer and solicits the sup port of his neighbor furmer at the polls. W. J. Lawrence the nominee foi Prothonotary is a whole souled fel low, well competent to perform the duties of this office. He is obliging and a friend to everybody. Mr. Lawrence is a contractor by occupa tion and gives employment to a large number of our people. These em ployees speak of Will as being a pleasant young man, not at all irri table, hence would make a good county officer. It is a well known fact that an officer of quick temper is often humiliating to the party do ing business at his stand. Should Mr. Lawrence be success ful in his election, he will reside in Laporte and the door of the Prothon otary's office will at all times be found open. Fnnerais at Night. The custom ot holding funerals services at night is, according to an undertaker, growing steadily in New York city. Its growth dates from about 3ve years ago. There were night funerals in New York before that, but they were comparatively fow. The growth of the custom is due to several causes: The night funeral is less expensive, and it meets the convenience of a much greater number of friends of the dead; with the increase of societies and their growth in membership, the loss of a day or half day in at tendance at the funeral of a member lias come to be a serious lax, and in this respect the night funeral makes a saving of time. Statistics show more well filled barns to be destroyed by lightning than empty ones, that is, the risk after harvest is greater than before. The department at Washington in vestigated and gives reasons as fol lows: Before harvest the stalks of growing grnins and grassos, with their many points and heads, net as conductors of electricity and serve as discharging points, to some de gree neutralizing the electric stress in the air. After harvest the fields are more or less bare, anil the elee tric tension must be relieved through buildings and prominent features iO tbc landscape, Court Proceedings.
