WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1894.

MONTISOMKUV county Ttauds erect with a majority of 400 for the State, Congressional and count}- Republican tickets.

THK Democratic ticket—"a good thing, push it along."—Argus Xcwu. It got a good push yesterday. Yes. push it aloug.

THE revival of business left the calamity howlers without a leg to stand on.—^-Iryui' Xctcn before the clevtiim. 11 seems so to a mau up a tree.

THK Democratic majority in Indiana next Tuesday night "will not be less thuu ten thousand.—Arjus-Xews, Am-. ..I.

Our neighbor came within 40.000 or 50,000.

As YET THK JOVKNAI. has not named a single issue for which it contends this year but the sewer question.— Aitin* Seu's.

And the Anjun Xeie* and its entire party are in the newer.

So fali not a single Republican has accepted a Democratic challenge for a joint discussion. Looks bad. don't it? —Anjiix-Xcus, Oct.

The challenge was accipted on Tuesday. and the result due* look bad.

THK American eagle is soaring to day and is to be in nowise confounded with the late lamented Clark township buzzard, which should have been spared for participancy in this glorious feast of deceased rooster.

"BI.AXK such Democrats, especially in this important campaign." said a prominent Democratic worker at No. just as the polls closed yesterday. He was hot because some Democratic voters refused to go to the polls when sent for.

HAVING flunked on the sugar question our esteemed contemporary has taken up the wool promblem. Better drop it neighbor. It will prove a worse boomerang than sugar.—Xrifii* Xcicn lust lark.

There seems to have been some boomerangs in the air.

Ov all sides Republican candidates are refusing to hold joint discussions with their Democratic competitors This looks bad.—Aiynx Xetvs.

The Republican candidates held a joint discussion with their Democratic competitors yesterday, and ..the result looks bad.

THKHE are more kinds of democracy these days than there are breeds of dogs.—.lorKNAI,.

Yes. and the day after the election you will tliiuk there are more Democrats than •....-.•.••Egyptian lleas.—Anju^ Sens.

After Pharos heart hardened anil the lleas lay dead and stinking in the land.

IF every Democrat will go to the poles next Tuesday and vote the entire ticket will be elected by a good majority.—Anjus Xcwd. Xov. •'!.

It is not often that THE JOURNAI lakes advantage of a typographical error of a contemporary but the temptation is too great to say that appear ances indicate that every Democrat 1^ gone to the poles.

WHO is Karis? is the question. NI one seems to know anything about him. He is a nonentity. He lives in Terre Haute, and just to appease Vigo county Republicans was nominated for Congress. They don't expect to elect him. but use him as a make-believe, and fill out the ticket.—Itaicic.

Have you learned who Faris is? He will make a pretty good make-believe Congressman, thank you.

THE JOUKNAI. has mustered up courage enough to say that the people want McKinley prices again. We don't believe it. The election next week will not say so.—Arijim-Xcws, Nov. 5.

As a'prognosticator the Aryux-Xcus is not a howling success. The people have spoken and they have shouted in thunder tones that they want McKinley prices again. They have evidently become very tired of 10 cent wool, 4.". cent wheat. S4f horses, and reduced wages.

THE PASSING OK UROOKSIIIKK. THK .IOCKN'AI. feels warranted in an nouncing that the political career of E. V. Jlrookshire is ended. With this defeat against his record and with the violent enemies he has made in his own party he can never rise again. Too many aspirants with greater claims than Mr. Brookshire will appear two years hence demanding the nomination. Mr. Brookshire could hardly secure a solid delegation from his own county in the nominating convention. His political career has been one of a uniquely lucky man. He is personally a line man and has, we believe been a hardworking Congressman who was honest and sincere in his convictions. THK JOURNAL hails his passing, however. with the greatest pleasure. He is a theorist and his ideas are both fallacious and dangerous—a menace to good government.

A BOLD ATTEMPT.

Thugs Try to Steal a BallotBox in Chicago.

MAKE A RAID ON A POLLING-PLACE.

They Open Fire on the Judge* anil Clerks —Throe Men Are Shot, One Fatally --Foiled In Their Ncfarl«un Purpose.

1'iuc.uio, Nov. 7.—As the result of an effort to^et possession of the ballot box in the Ninth precinct of the Twenty-third ward at 1:80 o'clock this morning three persons were wounded by bullets, one of them perhaps fatally. They are: Gus Coleander, judfre of election, shot through the stomach, probably fatal Nick Michaels, policeman on duty at the polls, shot in the leg-, not serious J. F. Walters, clerk of election, wounded in the arm, not serious.

Two masked men, followed by ft pan# of a dozen heelers, entered the polling-place at No. 117 Oak street while the judges and clerks were eu-g-ag-ed in counting the ballots about 1:30 o'clock this inorniug. The two men in the lead had handkerchiefs over their faces. Officer Nick Mlchaeles advanced toward the two men and ordered them out of the place. They pushed past hitu and demanded of the judges and clerks the ballot box. litis Coleander, the republican challenger, replied: "Not on your life." The men then drew revolvers and began promiscuous firing, hi£h terrified the judges and the clerks and led to a general stampede.

As soon as the men in the lead began to shoot the heelers pushed in, and it is said some of them drew revolvers and also began to shoot. The judges and clerks as soon as they had recovered from their fright rushed out of the polling place, with the exception of the men who had been shot, and the crowd about the polling place rushed in every direction.

Ihe ballot-box had several bullet holes in it and several bullets had lodged in the walls of the room. The raiding party became frightened and escaped, leaving the box behind.

Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bind it on over the seat of pain. It is better than any plaster. When the lungs are sore such an application on the chest and another on the back, between the shoulder blades will often prevent pneumonia. There is nothing so good for a lame back or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a flan-nel-bandage dampened with Pain Halm. 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & liooe, 11] north Washington street.

MAN-EATERI3 OF THE PACIFIC.

Sbarkt That Are the Drrari of the Cullfornkt* FUherniea. The true mnn-eater shark as taken on the Pacific coast is known only as a man-eater. The shovel-nosed sharks are sand sharks, too cowardly to attack even a yellow dog. The thirty-four foot shark, captured by some fishermen, of the true man-eater variety (careharodon carchnrias), seemed brave enough and savage enough to attack anything within its reach. This monster's mouth was wide, the teeth long and sharp, with an Inward incline. The stomach would hold a full-grown man easily and a good deal besides. The fish became entangled In a net off Point Lama. Two boats attacked the vicious creature and finally succeeded in punching an iron into its vitals. The side of one boat was stove in by a blow forcible enough to knock one fisherman overboard.

These sharks, says the New York Tribune, have been known to attack a small boat-, upset it and eat the oarsman. A man-eater over forty-two feet long has been reported below San Diego. The natives arc said to live in fear of this awful fish, which already has the record of having eaten six men. It has been slitit frequently. The water about it has been dis-olored with blood. Yet the shark still lives. The tiger shark is as ferocious as the man-eater. Another large shark hereabouts is the basking shark. It is taken measuring fifteen to forty feet in length. The skin of one thirty-two feet long is at Stanford University museum. It was captured last March. This skin alone weighs over fifteen hundred pounds, while the shark's liver produced one hundred and eighty gallons of oil. These sharks, however, are sluggish, lazy and do not bite people. Their gill-rakers are on the whale model. When entangled in a net they frequently suffocate, as the net restricts the gills.

California fishermen do not consider five-foot sharks of much account when from San Diego wharves black sea bass are caught six to eight feet long, weighing three hundred to five hundred pounds. Such fish are common. They are taken on shark hooks and clotheslines. When hooked the fish is allowed to swim about the bay towing a two-inch plank. When he is exhausted the line is hauled in and the fish killed with an ax.

COST OF THE CRIMEAN WAR.

John Dull Paid an Knormoui Price to Rusftia Out of Turkey. On July 12, lS5t», the Crimea was finally evacuated by the Hritish forces after the war of over two years, savs Spare Moments. All the remaining stores and the establishments having been embarked, a company of the l-'iftieth British regiment was posted outside the town of Halaelava to receive the Russian troops, and on their approach marched in with the Russian guard, which was composed of about fifty mounted Cossacks and a similar number of Cossack infantry. The usual salute took place, the Russians placed sentinels where they wished, and the English troops marched on board 11. 51. S. Algiers. Gen. Sir William John Codrington. chief in command of the forces in the Crimea, and who died in 1884, embarked with his personal staff at the same time. During this war the British lost 3,r(t0 killed in action or died from their wounds 4,244 of cholera, and nearly

111,000

who suc­

cumbed to other diseases, making a total of 23.744, of whom -'70 were officers, and besides these 2.873 were disabled. The loss of I'rench allies was estimated at 03.."00 men, while the loss of the Russians on the opposite side was reckoned as high as 500.000 men. The war added to the Hritish national debt over S'Jixi.ono.oon. Notwithstanding the enormous amount expended Britain asked from Russia no pecuniary compensation, nor gained one inch of land: but the defeat of the Russians kept them out of Constantinople and made the way to India and the east clear. The memoirs of Karl Russell sHow- that it would have secured for the Turkish empire much internal benefit if the French had been as disinterested as the British, and not required in that case some territory for themselves.

The Women to Illume.

Prof. Peal, the ethnologist, recently described to the Asiatic society the condition of the head-hunting Nagas on the borders of Assam. The women are to blame for the continuance of the practice they taunt the young men who are not tattooed, and the latter go out and cut off heads to exhibit to them, fully half of which are those of women and children. The area occupied by the tribe is not more than twenty miles square, but in it during the past forty years more than twelve thousand murders have been committed for the sake of these ghastly trophies.

The Proof of the Pudding

Is In the Eating.

And so it is of what we said at the beginning of the season about our Dress Goods. We made some strong assertions about our line of novelty fabrics being superior to anything ever shown in this city, but we meant every word of it, we were honest in^our belief. The way the ladies answered our appeals tor attention, and the liberal patronage accorded us furnish the proof that we did not overdraw the facts.

Dress Goods

Describe the new dress goods! Florists are not botanists. The Labratorj, the Library, the Aticroscope, the solemn Professor, the absorbed student—combine these for the science of flowers. To the dogs with science when a conservatory or parterre, boqutt or (lower-filled vase touches your sense of the beautiful. Dreary advertising belongs not here. Dull descriptions and mechanical tabulations fail utterly. What then.' The long drawn shelves, the well laden counters are full of rich stufls for your inspection. Come see them. We tell you sub-rosa that the vast lots of dress stuffs, masquaraded as French that France never saw.

Our French Dress Goods Were Hade in France.

'•Those Crazy French!" And yet the wild fancy of the Frank holds sway by divine right in the imperial court of Dress textiles. He shirrs Crepons as he does eggs and adds a stripe. He takes hair and wool from Vicuna, Cashmere Goat, Silesian Sheep silk from the worm, colors from the vegetable and mineral world ad-libitum, mixes thoughts of them in his crazy head and outcome these designs. Woven bo llibaise, salads in cloth, poems in wool. Ytuw uld fing praise to his lunacy. Describe the curly cues, waves, wavelets, eccentrics of all sorts? Bah! To attempt it is to prove one's incapacity. No, they must be seen. Our people are here to show them. And you're welcome to enjoy equally whether you do or do not want to own them.

CLOAKS and FURS

Tt s-ier.is almost useless to w.is'e time in the praise of our stock

of Cloaks and Furs. Almost every lady in the county recognizes

us as the leaders in this line and we have had more customers any

day thi -s season thin we were able to wait upon. This is a test of

pDpu'aritv. If you would see the latest fro.n fashion c.-nters come

to us. Oar line of Mackintoshes hive struck a popular chord a-id
