The Republican, in its last issue, speaks
of the illegal use of money in last fall's
campaign, and urges Democrats not to vote
iheir party ticket this fall. Now, let us
probe this matter a little. Some of the
Republican leaders are authority for the
report that the editor of the Republican
received SSOO with which to carry the late
Republican primary elections in the inter
ests of certain pai ties. * * * * If the
editor of the Republican wishes to accuse
any person or party of using money for
illegitimate election purposes, he should
first deny the report circulated by'some of
his Republican colleagues, if it is not true,
or if he used the money for legitimate
purposes, let him state for what it was
used.—Dushore Gazette.
Tliis is tlie first time to our knowl
edge that wc have been accused
openly of receiving "SSOO with which
to carry the late Republican primary
elections." 'Tig true the Dushore
papers Lave hinted it, in a sarcastic
manner, as it were, but they have
never come out openly and said "we
were the fellow," hence the shoe
didn't fit us and we would have been
a little premature to have buckled it
around our foot.
The charge is false and as a maU
ter of course we deny it.
George Streby, editor of the Du»
shore Gazette, is doing considerable
talking about boodle and how the
boys shall vote this November. He

When you come to think it over is
George In a position to advise?
What did the evidence in the con
test uncover?' Was it fifty "shiners"
or a small "wad?" Then again
1
haven't you the same right he had
last fall concerning your vote? He
refused to vote. This he docs not
deny. Now, all things considered
is George in a position to advise you
politically? We do not make n
charge against him, but merely re
fresh your memory. When you
have given this a thought you will
come ton decided conclusion.
Reflect U|H>n this, would it not
have been better for George to haw
gone to the polls and Toted his
choice ? He was dissatisfied with
(lie Democratic tloket, which was ev
ident. You have the same right
to be dissatisfied with the Demo»

fItJDDEN DEATH OF MRU. H.C,
M4NON.
At llcr Home 011 Nunday Evening
Last.
It becomes our sorrowful duty to
convey to our readers this week the
sad intelligence of the death of Mrs.
VV. C. Mason, wife of W. 0. Mason,
Esq., of Laporte. Mrs, Mason was
taken on Monday, Sept. 30, with a
severe cold which soon developed
into pneumonia. After a week's
sickness she began to convalesce and
ber condition was such as to indicate
a speedy recovery. On Saturday
last she suffered a relapse, however,
and continued togiow rapidly worse.
She expired early Sunday evening.
Mrs. Mason was the only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stormont,
«>f Laporte, and was born in Wind*
iiam twp., Norfolk county, Canada,
May 31, 18G0. Her parents came to
Laporte when she was but five years
of age and trom that time her home
has been here. On December 28,
1881, she was united in marriage
with W. C. Mason Esq. Four chil
dren have been born to them, the
youngest being only a little over one
year old. Her untimely death re
moves from her family circle ade
voted wife and mother, and an affec
tionate daughter and sister.
Mrs. Mason was a generous sym
pathetic woman and although her
timily cares and duties consumed
most of her time and strength she
was ever ready to prove her worth
as a neighbor and friend by doing
ill in her power to aid the needy
and relieve the distressed. Her
jare and thoughtfnlness for those
about her commended her to all who
were fortunate enough to be num
bered among her acquaintances. Not
only will she be greatly missed in
the home that has beeu so suddenly
saddened, but in the entire commun
ity where she has lived since girl
Uood. Expressions of sympathy for
r ,he grief-stricken family are univer
sal.
The funeral services were held in
he Presbyterian church Wednesday
afternoon and were conducted by
Rev. 11. W. l'olk, of Towaudq,. #
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
L'. B. Cole, who reside at a distance
from here, will regret to learn that
ihey are still confined In the asylum
at Danville. While "Dent," as he
was familiiarly called, is enjoying
health physically, his mental
powers have not improved, with no i
probabilities of recovery in the future.
Mrs. Cole is also enjoying good
bodily health, ber mental powers
have improved somewhat but she is
still afflicted with that dread char
acteristic of her malady—melan
choly. The case of Mr. and Mrs
Cole is a peculiarly sad one and ap
peals to the deepest sympathy of all
their fricuds, yet all are powerless
to aid them in their sad mental
afflictions. A'l is being done for
them that medical science, and skill
can suggest, and we trust their re
covery may yet result from thorough
treatment.—Benton .1 rgua,
Mr. and Mrs. Ilussel Karns and
Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Karns of Laporte
paid Mr. and Mrs. Cole a visit at the
Danville Asylum on Thursday ol
last week.
Mrs. F. W. Meylert ol Lnporte, U
quite ill. She has been suffering
with a bail cold for several days past,
and was taken with a coughing spell
at the funeral of Mrs. Mason and re
turned to her home. Dr. Voorhees
is in att 11 dance.
ile|er'» Evidence.
Toronto, Oct., 14.—Detective
Geycr, who has made himself famous
in the Holmes' case came to Toronto
this afiornoon to secure evidence
that may be used again ts Holmes at
his trial for the murder of Pitezel.
He will endeavor to secure the atten
dance of seven or eight witnesses
from here, among whom will be Mr.
Xudel and daughter, from whom
Holmes is alleged to have reuted
the house in the cellar of which the
skeletons of the murdered children
were found.
Geycr does not think that Holmes
will ever be tried iu Toronto, as he
claims he has a complete chain of
evidence against him for the murder
of I'ite/.el, in Philadelphia.

At the recent annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Lako Moko
ma Land company, held in William -
sport, the following officers were
elected: Clinton Lloyd, of Munoy,
president; Judge E. M. Dunham, of
Laporte, vice-president; Judge T. J.
Ingham of Laporte, secretary; direc
tors, J. T. Fredricks, Esq., C. K.
Ueddes, Esq., Delos MahafTey, Clint
Lloyd, Judges Ingham and Dunham,
and W. C. Mason of Laporte.
The stock holders will meet at La
porte this Thursday to inspect the
property and determine what im
provements shall be made during
the next year. It is probable that
a hotel will be erected in early spring
and the grounds along the shore
cleared of debris, the streets work
ed, baithing ground prepared and
bath houses erected.

The question as to how many
candidates for judges of the new
Superior court each qualified elector
is entitled to vote for will be passed
upon bj' the Supreme court before
the November elections. Proceed
ings will be instituted at once and
every effort mac' 2 to speed the cause
and secure a decision by the court
before the 22d inst., the date fixed
by law for the Secretary of the Com
monwealth to send out the official
ballot. The attorneys interested
say this proceeding cannot effect the
political character of the bench as
the time for filing nomination papers
lias passed and no party has named
more than six candidates.

The Milford Dispatch is responsi
ble for the story that at llock Hill,
Sullivan, the little' ice ponds are
completely dried up, and Farmer
Cuddeback, whose pond was stocked
with Germu. has had the mis
fortune to lose his entire buckwheat
crop. The carp, going overland in
search of water, passed through his
buckwheat field, and, being hungry
is well as dry, cleaned it up as slick
•is a hoard of grasshoppers could
have done. All his neighbors are
up in arms, and in order to s.ive
their crops are making use of every
available weapon with which to ex
terminate the threatened pest. As
fast as they are killed they are be
ing salted down, some far ners hav
ing as many as eight barrels in brine.
Fanner Duddelmck s:iys that if he
can't have buckwheat cakes this
winter he will have the next thing to
them, buckwheat carp.

The question is now raised that
the new law which provides that
judges of election shall only receive
£3.50 per day and clerks only $3 00
docs not apply to this years election
because the constitution says that
the compensation of an elective ofll
cer shall not be increased or dimin
ished during the time for which he
is elected. Here is a very pretty
point of law for the courts to decide.
There is 110 question that these otll—
cers were elected before the law l<e-»

otllce in February, at the time they
were elected, while the act did not
Itccotne a law until it was signed by
