He cause no governor nor president into be'elected, the stake by many is con sidered to be a small one. It is com monly considered an off year election by way of distinction from a presid ential election, lint when wisely and well considered there are no off years. What are to bo chosen this year. First a State Treasurer. Every tax payer is or should be interested in the choice of a person who controls the care and disposition of millions of public funds each year. It should be Dome In mind that the State ot Pennsylvania has never lost a dollar through the care lessness, indifference or default of a Republican treasurer. There is an Au ditor General to be elected. This ofti cer settles and collects the taxes from corporations. The reason that tin- State Treasury is now full to overflow ing,is that a Republican Auditor Gen eral is in office and strictly enforces all the tax laws. School districts are not obliged now to wait almost a year for the appropriations due them. Yon will no doubt have already concluded that you are vitally interested in the result of the election next Tuesday. There is uo doubt as to the election of Mathues and Snyder, but this is not enough. The democrats acknowledging defeat in advance, have put up no fight in the hope that Republicans will, therefore not vote and the maj ority in Pennsylvania may be kept un der one hundred thousand. Such a re suit would be heralded abroad as a re buke to President Roosevelt and quot ed as an evident decadence in Republi can zeal and principles. Then there are two Judges of the Superior Court to be elected. It is very important thq,t this conrt should be controlled by republican policy.Not that laws should be interpreted upon a partisan hasi.«, but it has been proven many times in the past that democratic judges in our higher courts can not, in the interpre tation of our laws,rise above partisan ship and meet the issues on the broad er grounds of statesmanship. Come out to vote next Tuesday be cause there are no off year.-. You, the average man, are more interested in the result than you are in a govern or's or presidential election. It strikes closer home.

NO CHECK UPON PROSPERITY Republicans Confidently Look For a Great Party Victory In the State at the Election Which Will Be Held On Tuesday Next. [Special Correspondence.! Harrishurg. Oct 27.—Pennsylvania is going to give a splendid account of hers If in the election returns of Tues day next. This is the unanimous opinion of the icfi\ party men on"The Hill," who come from ev« ry section of the com monwealth and who are in touch with the 1 iding men of the state, members of the bar, business men and others who come here on ofllcial and private business. When Senator Penrose was here a few days ago consulting with Governor Pennypacker and Senator Quay he ex pressed the opinion that Pennsylvania will give a larger majority for the Re publican candidate for state treasurer next Tuesday than has ever been giv en for any candidate for that office in this state He said he based this opin ion upon the reports received at the state headquarters and from what ho heard after consultation with officials here. PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED. The predictions of a great Republi can victory are made because it is the belief that the people of Pennsylvania are satisfied with their national and state governments and they are deter mined to let "well enough alone." They do not want a change in either the methods or the policies of the na tional or state government. They do not want to have a revolution in busi ness. which a change in the national administration would inevitably bring and they are pleased to have an oppor tunity to give a vote of confidence and commendation to the very excellent state administration presided over by Governor Pennypacker. When state issues are discussed by those who are forcasting the result of next Tuesday's election, it is admitted on all sides that the Republicans never entered a state campaign with strong er candidates, nor with a better rec ord in the administration of the state affairs. The nominees for the superior court. Judges Henderson and Morrison, are both able jurists, who have been pro moted from the common pleas to the superior court bench, and they are now engaged in discharging their du ties faithfully and efficiently. They are both veterans of the Civil War and have the patriotic and enthusiastic ' support of the old soldiers throughout the commonwealth. Messrs. Mathues and Snyd nominees for state treas urer and auditor general, respectively, were nominated upon the earnest re quest of their neighbors, who believed that they should be rewarded for their public services in their home coun ties of Delaware and Chester respec tively. They are men who will conscien tiously perform the duties that will de volve upon them. STATE ISSUES DISCUSSED. The platform ot the Republican state convention which placed these candi dates in the field, while naturally uiak ing most prominent the national phase of the {ire.- Nt compaign, did not fall tore fer with satisfaction and pride to the splendid condition of the state fi nances. the liberal appropriations made to he public schools and thp hospitals and the charities of the state, the enactment of the Good Roads bill and the other meritorious measure s which were passed at the last session of the general assembly. Governor Pennypacker has unques tionably won the approval of the peo pl«> by his administration of the office Which he fills with signal ability and no thought ot scandal has been or will be sugg< st< d while he shall sit In the executive chair. CALL TO CLUBMEN. Pr< sident John R. Wiggins, of the State Leau'tie of Republican Clubs, has issued an address to the clubmen of tin state, in which among other things he says: "The election of the candidates of the Republican party in the state of Pe nil -v 1 van ia this year is undoubted, but the party is interested in more than tie ej, (ion of its candidates; the majority must he * great, if not greater, than ever before. "In a campaign conducted as this one without brass bands, torchlight procession* or public meetings, the valuable aid the various Republican club- throughout the state should ren der cannot be overestimated. "P-nr ylvania is the centre of the great manufacturing industries of the counti\ and the eyes of the nation will be upon us: to see that we keep aloft the great banner of protection to our industiies and our labor.

NEXT TUESDAY ELECTION DAY Voung Men Are Volunteering All Over the State to Work to Get Out the Republican Vote, As Did Many Who Became Great Leaders. [Special (Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Oct. 27. With election day but one week off Chairman Pen rose, of the Republican state commit tee, has practically completed his work of this campaign, and for the remain i ing days of the ion test the whole re sponsibility of 11'.• > canvass has been shifted to the members of the county committees, the members of the vigi lant committees and the oilier active workers throughout the state, upon whom the organization depends tog t the vote to the polls. While Chairman Penrose and Secre tary Andrews will remain at head quarters until aft r the returns are in. they are now sending out their last batch of mail an \ a number of the em ployes at the committee rooms ire being laid off. as all their work has been don". ) During the last few days the most earnest appeals have been made to the county chairmen to spur th ir associ ates In the county committees so as to leave nothing undone in the final week of the campaign to insure the polling of every vote possible on Tuesday next. A DEMOCRATIC STILL HUNT. It is true that the Democ rats of Pennsylvania have not for years been so demoralized and absolutely without organization and that they have not undertaken to put up a fight in the open during the canvass this fall. Hut , it is also true that this fact has led to apathy in the ranks of th Reyubli- I cans. Home believe it would be easier to get | out a good Republican vote had the Democrats made an aggressive and spirited content. The danger to the Re | publican organization lies in Republi cans taking it for granted that they are going to win by a large majority on , account of the apparent indifference of the Democracy. While the party 1 rs of the De mocracy have not in ir> d in this cam paign and their candidates have been remarkably ih nt it 1 overlooked that rank and file of the Democratic party are alway on the alert t<> gain any advantage for them -1 selves or their party whenever oppor tunity shall presi 'it. !

They propose togo among their neighbors and have tie in arran to get to the polls early on Tuc day next. They will impress upon thein the fact that one vote for the Re-pub!: m ' ticket on election day means more ' than a whole year of argument in tin cause of Republicanism or in advoi ai \ of its principles. The votes are what count, and this i another case where action mean n. >v< than words. The stay-at-home Republicans are little less than assistant Demo rat . , and it is to the stay-at home Rep ibli , cans that the party organization in this campaign is being urged to dir t most attention. If It be true that the Democratic managers have bee n carrying . n what they might designate a ".-till hunt campaign, it is more than ev. i . , n tial that the Republican c< mmitti men shall offset these tactics b. go ing after the voters and so, ing to it that they get to the [Kills. The Republican who loan his horse find wagon to the committeemen to carry the voters to the eb ction booth is as much a factor in tin campaign 1 as the wealthy man who sends his check to the state headquarb rs to ' help defray the expenses of tie or ganization.

The candidates for the Sheriffalty are losing no time this week and are making it a point to see as many of the voters personally as possible. An official ballot conforming with the law as amended in l'.iO.'S has been received at tho Commissioners office Atlhough in the main the new ballot resembles the old it differs somewhat in arrangement and wording, which may leave the voter less liable to make mistakes. In the old ballot the first paragraph of instructions told how to proceed to indicate a vote for each candidate. The second paragraph exjlained that marking within the circle ar the hetri of the columns would be equivalent to a mark opposite every name which followed in the column. In tho amended ballot the .arrange ment is such as to lead the eye direct to the provisions for straight voting and the first paragraph of instructions sets forth : "T) voto a straight party ticket mark a cross in the square opposite the namo of the party of your choice in the first column." Tho second and third J 'paragraphs read: "A cross mark in the square op posite the name of any candidate in dicates a voto for toat candidate." "The voter may insert in the blank spaces at the bottom of each group the name of any person whose name is not printed on the ballot for wlicin lie do sires to vote.'' Tho uew ballot is about the size of tho old and contains the names of the following parties with their candid ates: Republican, Democratic, Social ist, Citizens', Independence, Labor, and Prohibition. Names of local can didates are printed on the ballot as follows: Sheriff Republican, George Rudv Sechler; Democratic, George Maiers; Prohibition, Levi B. Sechler.

Figures, Fact and Fun. One of tho wealthiest and most pow erful theatrical trusts in this country built up for its promoters large for tunes by producing plays with small casts,requiring but a few actors to in terpret them, and at that perhaps not more than a couple of players of cali bre in the company,the support in many instances being little better than ama teurs. It is different with a minstrel company like John W. Vogol's, to ap pear here on Tuesday, November 10th. The manager of the "Big" and "Best by Test" proves his facts and figures by a noonday parade, thereby demon strating the strength of the company. "Seeing is believing."

MAS SURRENDERED TO THE POLICE NEW YORK,Oct. 28. —Daniel Weis enberg, the traveling salesman whose name has been mentioned in connec tion with the murder of Miss Mabel Beehtel, of Allentown, Pa., surrend ered himself at police headquarters early this morning. Weisenberg was accompanied by Joseph Stock, a local cigar manufacturer, who has known him for some time. Weisenberg said he had not heard of the death of Miss Beehtel until late last night and as soon as he ascertain ed that lie was wanted he came to police headquarters. Detective Ser geant Knause, of Allentown, who was in Newark looking for Weisenberg, came here this morning and placed him under arrest. Weisenberg said: "I saw Miss Mabel Beehtel for a few minutes Sunday night at her home in Allentown. 1 did not take her carriage riding on Monday at any time nor did I see or hear of her on that day. At the time she was supposed to have gone riding with nit* I was in a barber shop in South Bethlehem, where I live. "I can prove by my order book every place that I visited on Monday. Dur ing the forenoon I remained in South Bethlehem. About 1 o'clock I started for Allentown and attended to busi ness there until about 10:30 or 11 o'clock p. m., when I returned to my home in South Bethlehem. "On Tuesday morning I left there for Newark, N. J. Last night I came to this city." Weisenberg was arraigned in court this morning. He voluntarily agreed togo to Allentown at once. He was turned over to an Allentown detective and will leave for Pennsylvania on the 12 :40 p. m. train. Allentown,Pa., Oct. 28.—Tho police are most reticent as to what has been done iii the case of Mabel Beehtel, whose body was found in an alley near her home yesterday morning. It is known, however, that tlioy are not by any means idle, and developments are momenta) ily expected. The surrendering of Weisenberg to the \ew Vork police and his story to them that he bad not seen the girl on the day on which she was murdered, has adde-l mystery to the case, and efforts are now being made to sub stantiate or disprove his statements. His arrival in Allentown is awaited with much intorest, as, should ho be eliminat 1 from the case, as many of his friend- believe ho will, the police will have to look elsewhere for in formation. Alfred Eckstein, the girl's fiance, and her brother, who were summoned bv the p ilice yesterday wore released after a close examination. .') )J i ; \. J) J■> IN ONE DAY.

OLD LADY ROASTED TO DEATH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Oct. 28.-A mania, caused by the infirmities of old age, to burn paper in the kitchen stove was the cause of Mrs. Katharine .lona-, aged 81". years, dying a most horrible death here this morning. The old lady resided wish her daughter, Mrs. John Bourmau, at OOH Franklin street. For some time past she would in spite of her daughter's protestations gather all the old paper around the house and throw it in the front of the kitchen stove, watching the flames until the last spark Imd died away with childish satisfaction, experiencing several narrow escapes from burning to death. Only last week the timely arrival and prompt action of her daughter prevented such a fate. This morning Mis. Bourman went to market,leaving her mother at home alone. When Mrs. Bourman returned home about niii" o'clock she saw smoke but at first ibought it was a roast she had left in the oven burning. Upon entering the kitchen she discovered smoke issuing from tho pantry, the door of which was closed. Going in to the pantry she found her mother lying dead on the floor with nearly every stitch of her clothing burned from her body. So badly was the old lady burned that there was scarcely an inch of her entire body that was not roasted to a cri-p. The front of the stove showed that she had been burning paper, when no doubt her clothing caught fire. It is thought that she went to the pantry to get water but died before she reach ed the spigot. For years it has been believed that the greatest manufacturers of fiction were the fishermen. Here is where an other fallacious belief must be knock ed out. The fisherman isn't within pole touch of the correspondent of a metropolitan newspaper who has heard a bear story.

J., a former re.-ident of Northum berland, is one of the figures in the Xavi-Miik National B ink wreck, from which several sensational develop ments have been sprung, the litest be ing that Henry B. Wenck.a Red Bank < arpentcr who works by the day, is said to be on notes payable at the Navt-sink Bank in the sum of $30,000. A flick's name appears on the paper both as maker and indorser and it is said nearly half the amount of these note- has been discounted at the Mer chants National Bank and other New ! York banks. The fir.-f that Wenck knew that his name was on th( paper was when he received notice of protest from the Xavesiuk Bank. He denied having any dealings in notes in the Navesink Bank for years and pronounces his signatures to the papers as forgeries. Mr. Wenck has h<-uii a resident of Red Bauk.N. J. ,for a number of years and has succc d< d in his work by in dustrious labor, hut says be is not so financially situated that any one would want to discount notes at the value of •>'o,ooo to his credit and repudiates the notes a- maker and indorser, and will prove them as such indue time.

DKAR SIR:— I think that every man that has a team of horses or any stock, ought to haveabottle of Mover's White Liniment ]in the stable or his house. I had a i horse that stepped in a hole with bis \ front foot, coining down the mountain with a trail of props, and fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fast that we could hardly get the collar off, and in two hours his i neck was swollen to all the skin would hold. We use 1 your White Liniment ' freely,aud in a few days he was to work . a train, aud does not show any signs of . lameness. It worked like magic. Respectfully Your-. J. A.
