CUNNINGHAM. *_ . r INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS FIRST. Ton must get your ballot and a blue pencil from the polling 1 clerks in the election room. Remember that a blue pencil Is now used Instead of a stamp. SECOND. If you want to vote a straight ticket make a cross, thus: X, within the large circle at the head of the ticket containing the device of the party for whose candidates you wish to vote. If you do not wish to vote a straight ticket, you must not make a cross in the large circle containing the device of your party, but you must make a cross, thus X, on the small square to the left of the name of each candidate for whom you desire to vote, on whatever list of candidates it may be. If the large circle at the head of the ticket is marked, and the ballot is marked at any other place, it is void and cannot be counted, unless there be no candidate for some office in the list printed under such marked device, in which case you may indicate you? choice for such office by making a cross, thus X, on the square to t4o left name of any candidate for such office on any other list. The eros* must be placed within or on the circle or square or the ballot is void'and cannot b? counted. THIRD. Do not mutilate your ballot, or mark It either by scratching a name off or writing one on, or in any other way except by marking in the circle or on the squares as before mentioned.

After marking your ballots, and before leaving the booths, fold them separately so that the face of each cannot be seen, and so the initial letters of the names of the polling clerks on the back thereof can be seen.

TENTH You must not put any mark of any kind on ygur ballot except as before mentioned.

Harvesting the Sugar Beet. The time,of sugar beet harvest is usually Indicated by the argiculturists of the sugar factory for which the beets are destined, and notice is given to the grower to deliver his beets to the factory. An expert in sugar beet growing can readily discern when beets are ripe. The leaves droop and take on a yellow east. The sooner they are harvested after this the belter, as they have reached their maximum of sugar content and purity. Warm fall rains are liable to start a new growth of the beets, causing them to send out a. fresh, supply of rootlets. This has a tendency to lower the purity and sugar content of the beets. If it is apparent that the crop cannot be received at the factory at some time in the near future, the beets should be harvested and siloed. The contract usually provides for following tbe orders of the factory in this respect, add this Is the safest course.— C. F. Saylor. la the Poultry Yard. The hens that pass their molt early

Linseed meal is also useful for the same purpose. Ducks are not subject to cholera or roup, and lice do not trouble them at all. Geese are adapted to wet lands and do well If supplied with good pasturage and plenty of water. Boasts of His Act. In President Roosevelt’s book, “The Rough Riders” page 138, is this account of his killing a fleeing Spaniard: "Lieutenant Davis’ first sergeant, Clarence Gould, killed a Spanish soldier with his revolver, just 4s the Spaniard was aiming at one of my Rough Riders. At about the time I also shot one. I was with Henry Bardshar, running up at the double, and two Spaniards leaped from the trenches and fired at us, not ten yards away. As they turned to run I closed in and fired twice, missing the first and killing the second. At the time I did not know of Gould’s exploit and supposed my feat to be unique.” Commenting on this the Commoner says: “Yes it is a unique feat to kill a fleeing soldier, and more unique still to speak of it with levity and boasting. The taking of human life is an awful responsibility and however the customs of war may Justify it when necessary, who but a military enthusiast would speak of it as the President does?” After claiming for years that the Republican party has greatly reduced the state debt, Governor Durbin finally admitted that such a thing was mads possible by the Democratic tax law and Democratic sinking fund law. •* ■ Senator Aldrich-Is urging the Republican national committee to save Rhode Island.

Korah A. x>f Marion township, has purchased the Schleman buggy and carriage business on North Van Rensselaer street, and will take possession of same January 1, 1905. Mr. Parker will* move to town and have personal charge of the business, retaining also the services of Levi Renicker, who has managed the business for Mr. Schleman w X / S. H. Norman writes to change the address of his Demociat from Tacoma, Wash ,to Walla, Walla, Wash., and adds that he likes the country about the latter city much better than that about Tacoma, as it is a level plain Tbe mountains are fine to ioo£ at, he says, but he would not prefer a mountain home, especially where it is so steep that debts are nailed along like a barn entrance for the horses to climb it. Much less deviltry than usual was done hallowe’en, and aside from marking up the windows of the business houses with soap, overturning a few outhouses etc., nothing much was done. Some boys went to the school grounds, with the intention, no doubt, of committing some act of deviltry, but were given a warm reception by the janitor. He 6hot at them with a gun loaded with beans, peppering them quite well ana putting them to a hurried flight.

L. J. Renicker and family of Surrey, No. Dak., arrived in Rensselaer Wednesday for a visit with his brothers John and Levi.

McCoy brick residence and nearly three acres of ground on McCoy avenue. The deed has not as yet been placed on record, but tbe consideration is said to have been a little less than $5,000, all cash. The residence is quite old. but is in a good state of repair. It has been said by some that the property is worth $lO,000, but this figure is probably SB,OOO to $4,000 too high. Six thousand dollars is nearer the value. If, as our republican newspaper brethern would have it, there whs not the usual Saturday crowd here to hear Bryan—yet conservative men placed the crowd at not less than 4,000 —there was scarcely a corporal’s guard to hear the big gun—Gov. Baily of Kansas —sent here to reply to Bryan. There was not 300 people to the Baily speech, notwithstanding the fact that great efforts were made to get out a crowd, and but little interest was manifested in what he had to say. The day was perfect and the orator had a good voice and good delivery. He no doubtpu t up as good an argument as could have been expected.

Harvey W. Wood, Jr., of southeast of town and Miss Jennie Murray were united in marriage Sunday evening at six o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Murray, of this city, Rev. H. L. Kindig officiating. The turkey market season is now on. The best time to sell your turkeys for the eastern Thanksgiving market is from the Bth to the 12th of November. B. S Fendig will be at his old stand prepared to pay the highest market prices for them. G. M. Wilcox & Son at Surrey and Parr and Reed McCoy nt McCoysburg will act as his agents also. Hayes has traded his 40 acre farm in the northwest corner of Barkley township for Ezra Switzer’s 80 acre farm one mile south. Mr. Hayes gets possession of the Switzer farm Nov. 10, but as he had rented his own farm for next year, Mr Switzer will not get possession until March, 1906. Mr. Hayes pays SI,OOO difference in the trade Oxford Tribune: An aftermath of the McCoy bank failure in Rensselaer. A widow aged 74 years near that place, who had her all in the McCoy bank, was taken to the poor house to spend her few remaining years as a public charge. The McCoys still live in style and resent any interference with their privileges Tbe taxpayers of Jasper will be put to a heavy cost in an attempt to bring the two rascals to justice and probably that justice will only be a farce. No wonder men harden their hearts and lose faith in humanity. One little remark of Gov Baily’s speech of last Monday we wish to mention. He paid h glowing tribute to W J Bryan as a man, said that tln> were great personal friends, and said that in 1896 he (Baily) < companied Bryan in his pnv • car from some point in Montana to Broken Bow, Neb., and that Bryan made speeches at all the towns they passed through Now what was Baily, a republican, doing along with the Bryan p>rty in 1896? Was he a free silver republican at time? Will brother Marshall please explain? XrDr. H. L. Brown has purchased tne Dr. Berkley residence on McCoy avenue the price paid being about $4,800, which is a fair price for it notwithstanding tli it is alleged to have cost $6,500 including lot. John Makeover Held a first mortgage on which tn e was a balance of S7OO due, and Berkley gave a second mortga. to J. H. Chapman, trustee of-w.- McCoy bank matter, for >3.725, therefore he had but little quity in the property. This latter mortgage was given as security <m his overdraft for the same amount at the McCoy bank. This mortgage is now good, and not a do iar of Berkley’s overdraft will be lost. Indorsed Judge Parker. The Building Trades Council of Pittsburg, at a recent meeting, determined to separate itself from the Republican party and an appeal was adopted to union men everywhere, asking them to vote for Judge Parker. The resolution setting forth the wishes of the council was as follows: “We appeal to union men and their friends in every craft, trade, occupation and calling to aid us in our efforts to strike a crushing blow at our enemy and defeat the Republican par-, ty in this election. If you have formerly voted for that party or its candidates. we ask you in tbe name of organized labor not only to vote against them this time, but to ase every possible effort to defeat them. Let the entire labor movement unite In a common cause to teach these politicians a lesson they* will not won forget.” Judge Parker retired from the beech when nominated for the presidency, and Judge Herrick retired when nominated by the Hew York Democrats for Governor.
