The Demooratic idea and teaching opposes everything Ameri can. It draws Its nwln Inspiration from the British School of economies. It opposes, as a rule, the Interests of our country and would build up, enrich, give prosperity aud power to other nations. Republicans, on the other hand, In their teaching appeal directly to the patriotic youug man's love of country, and membership In Republican clubs h an Incentive to patriotism. The Republican party lias maintained the glory aud great ness of the country, while Democracy is constantly opposing all great na tlonal Interests and projects, and lends Its sympathy to the country's enemies aud opponents. t Is the party of obstruction, and In thirty years has promulgated no Idea that has been a success, for the advancement of the country.

Staitllng Story That May Solve tho Wllkesbarro Mystery Ono More Search to bo Mado To-day for Hor. ny National Press Association. WitKBSBABiiE, Fa., June 21. Barney Searfoss, who tins n farm and hotel nt tha foot ot Five-Mile-Mountain, five or six miles back In tlio wilderness from Laurel Eun, relates u startling tale that may loud to the solution of tho mystery surround ing the disappearance of little Anna Fred ericks. Mr. Searfoss says that about three weeks ago a black bear of unusual sizo.l weighing, he judges, 500 pounds, ap peared on the mountain near Ins houso. A brown bear is no uncommon oblect back there, but a black one Is very rare.1 A week ago last Tuesday, or just one week before the little girl was lost, this bear killed and carried off from Mr. Searfoss' farm a full grown calf. Ho and nnother man started out to hunt the bear. They found the remains of the calf, but the bear escaped them. Xurce days later tho bear was seen at a point between Five-Mile Mountain and Laurel Run, or within three miles of tho spot where tho littlo girl was lost. It is therofaro possible, and it is believed by many, that the little girl, wondering about on tho mountain-side, encountered tho fierce animal and was killed and do oured. Several parties of armed men with Vunds will start out In different dlrec-' .Ions this afternoon and thoroughly ox lore the wholo mountain territory. MARSH NOT FOUND.

Ex-Treaijirer Bardsloy, when called for sentence, read his long-promlsod statemont. To thosa who expected sensational disclosures tha statement was partially disappointing. Tho explanation went over much famil iar ground. He held the Keystone Bank ofllcers responsible for the city's loss, while confessing that ho loaned to tha bank the money of tho city and of tha Stato to help them out of difficulty. Al lowing his explanation and reasoning to be correct, tho balance for which he is personally responsible Is very small. Ha answers the question as to tha where about s of tho missing million of money bi roller.itjng the story of depositing 16 In the Keystone Bank aud taking duo bills for the same, and ho offered proof of this. In tho course of his remarks Bardsley nado reference to Bank Exnminor Drew and 11. II. Yard, Saying he had loaned money to banks through tho lattor. Ilu says the fbrmer Is responsible lu a meas ure for tho city's loss, bcciuso ho mis represented tha bank's condltiou. Ha also accuses him of having had Uuanolal dealings with Lucas and Marsh. Ho devotes a chnpter to John Wann maker, in which ho says he has no reason, to think ho knew anything of the bank' affairs. Ho states 1 lso that between him self and Marsh there was no understand ing of any kind. Whon he had done District Attorney Graham suld he desired time to examlna further into tho case, and seuUuoe was, therefore, suspended. Fancy Evaporated California Peaches. 15 Cents a Pound.
