The Spring Months

Are undoubtedly the best in which to purify the blood and strengthen the system, because at this time the body is most susceptible to the beneficial effects of a reliable medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla. The feeling of debility, languor, and lassitude, caused by the changing season, is entirely overcome, and scrofula and all humcrs are Expelled from the blood by the powerful reviving and purifying influences of Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Do not delay—Take Hood's Sarsaparilla now. It is made by C. I. Hood & Co., Apothecaries, Low^l, Mass. Sold by all druggists. 100 Doses One Dollar." £,v

SUDDENI DEATH.

Michael Shay Dies Suddenly Yesterday ,/• Morning. From Moodhy's dally. in Michael Shay, an old and well-known resident of this city, died suddenly at his home at Sixth-and-a-half 'and Locust streets yesterday morning about 10 o'clock from a congestive chill and a complication of heart troubles. He was apparently as well as ever Saturday. Saturday night about midnight he was taken sick with a chill and was heard to moan. He asked that more covering be put on him and that the fire bef stirred up. During the morning he said "oh, my heart" He continued to grow worse until about 9 o'clock in the morning, when a doctor was sent for. When the physician came he was dead. He was conscious up to the last He was 55 yeais old and leaves a wife and grown family. He had previous similar attacks of ohills, but was never heard to •complain ofhis heart before. He was in very oomfortable circumstances. He was a very tall, stout, broad-shouldered man and his sadden death is a surprise £o many.

ORGANIZER KAU81E.

Mr. SilasfKauWe, of Clay City, Organizer of the K. of L- Expresses Himself.

Mr. Silas Kauble, of Clay City, was here last night the guest of Mr. R. P. Davis, of the Early House. He is the new organizer of the Knights of Labor for tibia district. The reason Mr. Wilson af Indianapolis, was sent here some time ago was because Mr. Kauble's commission had not yet arrived. Mr. Kauble is a tall, heavy set man, broad shouldered, of dark complexion and brown hair. He expresses himself with considerable vigor on the boycott outrage and says the Knights must heed Mr. Powderly's advice and obey his orders. Referring to the claim of The Labor Lanoe that it is an official organ of the K. of L. he says it is not true there is but one newspaper in the United States which officially represents the Knights of Labor. Mr. Kauble left for the west on the 10 A St. JJ. train.

The returns of the election in this township yesterday did not come in completely until a late hour last night, or rather an early hour this morning, so that a great many people went home last night at midnight in the belief that the Republicans had elected their entire ticket, as was the case at the township election two years ago, when Mr. Reiohert had a plurality over Mr. Foster of 243 for the same office to which he was again elected yesterday. The delay in the receipt of the returns was caused by the enormous number of scratched tickets voted. -The competitors and judges of election declare that never before within any of their recollections has such an immense amount of scratching been done. Both parties lost by the scratching, and in the lightness of the .vota the Democrats probably suffered most.

In considering the result of yesterday's election it must be remembered that within the past twenty years the Democrats have only elected one trustee of this township, that one being Frederick Fisher for two terms beginning in 1874, the Republicans electing all the rest except in the case of B. J. Abbott, National, who defeated both the Republican trad Democratic candidates in 1878, when the Greenback cause Lad a strong hold in this county. Reichert's majority yesterday, as will be seen by the official returns

{arger

rinted

in this issue of the GAZETTE, is than it was two years ai-,o, but I the general results of yesterday is much more satisfactory to Democrats than at that time. Two years ago the Republicans swept the township for their entire township ticket, but yesterday three of the Democratic candidates for Justices and two of the Democratic candidates for Constables' were successfuL In other words, of the twelve candidates elected yesterday seven are Republicans and five are Democrats.. The Justices of the Peace elected are Wm. M. Slaughter, Joseph M. Wildy, Cornelius Meagher, Alex Thomas and A. B. Felsenthal. The election of the latter candidate had been conceded since his nomination. A surprise of the eleotion and a matter greatly to be regretted is the defeat of 'Justice Goldman. The Constables elected are A. J. Thompson, James L. Davis, D. W. Conover, John Grosse and Henry Apman. The two latter are Democrats.

A surprising feature of the election in this township is the large. number of votee polled by the Prohibition ticket 'Y A IIIOHT VOTE.

The small interest in the city yesterday icr evidenced by the figures which the GAZETTE'S table contains. On the previous election when Mr. Reichert beat Mr. Foster 247 votee, the total vote oast was 5,635 yesterday the total vote was only 4,781—a remarkably heavy falling off. 'SQUIBS GOXIDKAN'S DEFEAT

The defeat of Squire Goldman is greatly to be regretted. The table presented shows that he ran away ahead of his ticket with the exception of one man on it, in the .First and Second wards. There were many Republicans in both these wards who voted for him. He attributes his defeat to the agitation in labor circles caused by the old controversy about discharging workingmen when found guilty of offenses, without fines. The Squire believed that his duty as Police Judge compelled him to fine offenders, but he was disposed to be lenient on poor men. One day a man was brought before him and the Squire asked: "Are you a workingman?" "Yes." "Are you guilty of the charge made against you?"

Y08. ***8 "Then I fine you one dollar costs."

This story W&s changed entirely and reported to the workingmen in this manner: "Are you aworkingnwn?" (Abruptly.) "Yes."/ "Then I fine yoi ten dollars and oosts"

The absolutely false impression was given that the Squire was particularly hard on workingmen and fined them whenever brought before him to the fullest extent This old falsehood was raked up and vigorously used against him in the recent election, he says, and did hhn great harm.

OUTSIDE TOWNSHIPS.

The General Result in the County. The result in the townships outside of the city is a great surprise to all darties, some of the strongest Republi' can townships going Democratic and vica versa. The Democrats have elected six of the trustees and the Republicans six, so that the County Board of Education,which will have the selection of a county school superintendent, will be a tie. The township trustees at present stand nine Democrats to three Republicans. Yesterday the Democrats elected trustees in Riley, Honey Greek, Lost Greek, Nevins, Otter Greek and Prairieton townshii the two latter being a gain. The 11 publicans elected trustees in Harrison, Prairie Creek Linton, Pierson, Fayette and Sugar Creek, the last five being a gain- This is a net gain of three trustees for the Republicans over the election of two years ago.
