A Few Straws Which Show tho Way of the Wlnil. Surprises may bo looked for from unex pected quarters. Tho IJcpublioins will be nioro than pleased. State Chairman Gilkyson is working with his sleeves rolled up. Philadelphia will roll up an unprecedented majority for tho tariff patty. Tho shut down of Dabson's mills is tho last straw. Tho Democratic candidates in this county do not seem to trust their chairman, as but few of them havo paid him their assessment! "What is tho matter with tuo Unions.' was asked by ono Democrat of another, tho othor day. They aro all right (for tho Republicans) this year. Tho r opullsts will have little uso for their Democratic ally after this. Tho Democrats always look out for No. 1. Having succeeded in carrying tbo country with tho aid of tho Populists thoy havo no further uso for them. But, then, thcro is anothor day coming. who n tho poor, deluded workingmen go to tho polls to voto this yoar thoy will not stand much taffy from tho party that has brought about poor times. No moro roostor diet for them. Look out for tho National plums after tho election. Thoy aro about ripo and ready to fall. Congressman Iteilly will give tho tree a shake about that time. Dr. Dechort, tho Republican candidate for Treasurer, was in town again last evening doing good work. If there Is a more con fident man In politics than tho Doctor we have not met him yet. "The Repeal bill will pass" but when? Senator Sherman is a thorn lu tho sides of tho Democrats. Ho is the peer of them all. Let Congress adjourn. It has been playing tho baby aot long enough. The now tariff bill is almost ready, but are tho Amerioan workingmen to accept starva tion wages ? Use Wells' Laundry Blue, the bei Bluing for laundry uso. Each package makes two quarts. 15cts. Sold by Coakloy Bros, 'The 1'nlrlo Well." Tho always welcome Irish play, "The Fairies' Well," conies to Ferguson's theatre Monday, Oct. SOth.

This company hare always kept faith with our people and in eoaasqueaee it enjoys au enviable reputation in Shenandoah, which will be tested by the welcome wo will givo them Monday night. iili OBE'S OBSERVATIONS. WtlHt II See timl Ileum During III Trnvrln. Whllo perusing ono of tho Philadelphia papers recently my oyos full upon tin adver tisement rending somowhst llko thin: Q-1 AA OHHh will purchase tho hnndpome OIUU Kentucky bred trotting ware, Annie nUk, sired by Hill HiIltK. ho by Jim llllks, dura Mary flay. Annlo links can trot fn 2:27: sound, used im a road and family mnre, but lately took fright nt tbo cable onrs and ran away, and on that account must be told. Tho advertisement was so nicoly and frankly framed that nt tho time I concluded that It hold out a rare opportunity for somo man wishing a horso with somo speed, hut upon glancing down tho column I noticed a number of advertisements differently worded, but ovidontly insortod with tho same object In viow and then I commenced to think and tried to tlx in my mind why a man Bhould bo willing to part witli n thoroughbred maro with a record of 2:2? for tho paltry sum of $100! Finding myself to arrlvo at a satisfactory conclusion I decided to consult a gentleman In town who has had cousidorablo oxperionco In horeo dealings. "Why," said he as ho glanced over tho advertisement I had clipped from the newspaper, "this is meroly a 'gyp' scheme. There are sovoral men in town who have learned by oxpbrieuoe what such ad vertisements mean. You see, thero aro various methods of oxcuses for tho disposal of these supposed excellent horses, and some of thorn are oxcoliont, but you never get them at that figure. Tho trick is this: You call upon tho advertiser and ho treats you royally; takes you to the stablo, allows you a fino horso and takos you for a drivo behind it thiough Fairmount Park. You become captivated and try to forco tho $100 into tho owner's hand before you get back to tho stable, but ho refuses tho offer unless you ivill also take tho 'buggy, harness, blankots, etc' Tho horso is genuine and you want him, henco you give in nnd ask tho prico of tho buggy, &c. Tho nnswor is any whero from S-t7G to $230. High you think, but then you look at tho lino horso you can get for $100, and yet you can't get it unless you also purchaso tho buggy ami 'etc' Terms of payment comes next. Tho seller is fair, 'Oivo the cash for tho buggy, etc. aud pay for my trottor when delivered.' Somo times ho is still moro generous and will say, 'I'll ship the buggy, etc., at once. If you pay for them on delwory I'll ship tho trotter lator.' Elthor offer is genorally snapped up and the pur chaser returns home bubbling over with good spirits and chuckling with delight over the surprise he will givo his townsmen when the trotter arrives. "Well tho 'buggy, otc.,' finally arrives, is paid for, and becomes your property; but tho horse fails to arrlvo aud when you seek in formation you aro informed that tho dealer is very sorry to bo obliged to stato that the horse you built so much upon went lame and and tho dealer could not risk his reputation by telling a horso that was not up to the re quirements of the advertisement. Further more, ho informs you, the horse has been sent to the Kentucky farn and should it recover you will bo notified. And there you are ! Right in it I You have no 2.27 or 2.15 trotter, but yon have 'buggy, harness, blankets, etc.,' for which you paid $175 or more and which are really worth about $75 or $100. Do you see tho point?" Contrary to expectations, work on the Lakeside electric railroad has not been started. Tho pnblio lookod for It because tho newspapers told them to, and tho newspapers mado the announcement by authority of Capt. J. F. Bailoy. If tho latter hadn't sufficient information to mako him positive in tho matter ho should not have mado tho statement. Tho people get tired of theso announcements and tho constant disappointments load them to lose confidence lu tho project. Jnst when every thing seems to bo arranged satisfactorily tho unexpected occurs; something which should havo been attended to in the first place turns up as among tho forgotten, or neglected things, and tho building of tho road is put off for another period; then the people begin to "kick" about tho obstructions ou tho streets, the Counollmen become impatient, and unpleasant feelings aro created on all sides, all because "something has been for gotten." I have reached the conclusion that no ono knows when work ou tho road will commence and if I were the editor of the Herald I would not again announce the beginning until I could see some of the rails and sills down. 11 eantline I would lay low and electrocute the first one asking "when will the road start ?"

THE ALLEGED BAIT STALE Dnnin Humor Sultl To-iluy Thnt Threo flood 1toroii(;H Olllcen Hint Iteen Ten dered tho TolMi utiil IJlhiimiliin I'eoplo of Town Without SucceM. j3 HERE was qulto n stir in somo of tho political circles lu town to-day over a report that somo of tho Domociatic leaders last night mado desperate effort to recoucllo tho Polish voters by a promlso of future reward. The larty who caused the circulation of the re port at tho same time stated that tho effort was an unsuccessful ouo, as the parties to whom tho proposition was mado promptly rejoctod It. Tho allogod proposition was that if tho Poles and Lithuanian pooplo of Shenandoah should givo tho Democratic party their support this fall thoy would bo rewarded next spring with at least threo good borough ofllces. It is moro than likely that tho wholo story Is a fako and was started to mako pooplo boliovo thnt tho Poles nnd Lithuanians aro open to propositions to desert tho standard under which Blcrstcln stands as a candidate. AHekald reporter to-day called upon several prominent Poles aud Lithuanians who aro very influential in local politics and thoy declared tho report a hoax. One of them said with much spirit, "You can say in your paper that wo are for Bierstien and tho wholo Republican ticket. This story is nonsensical. If thero was such a meeting I certainly would have heard of it I know nothing of such a meeting and do not boliovo ono was hold." During tho interviews tho reporter found that tho sentiments of the Polish and Lithuan Ian pooplo aro decidedly anti-Democratic. Thoy rldiouhxl tho alleged offer and asked what inducement the three borough offices would bo. "Wo aro looking for a county offlco now," said ono of them, "aud will look after borough matters later ; but whon we do we will want something moro than wind to depend upon. We cannot count on the Democrats of this town. We have found them traitors. They promised us a policeman last spring; did we get ono? Wo had a young lady as an applicant for school teacher before the School Board last June and the only votes she received were from tho Republican mombers of tho Board." In another interview an Influential and very prominent man said, "Tho Idea is ridiculous. Why, do you think pooplo aro so blind as to make a deal with thoso pooplo hot o when thoy aro doing all In their power to kill us in districts whero our people havo no voto? The report is no good. There's nothing in it." It is quite clear that tho report is a hoax, but it would not bo surprising if it should bo discovered that an attempt had been mado to bring about a meeting such as reported, as the Democratic party is badly scared.
