FitoV Mr,'b.,Vhalt iftitcMdn.l Kansas, wo hayo!r3tolved a sample of tho ballot voted out in that country, the 7th Congressional District Jerry Simpson's. Tho sheet is a veritable blankot, being: 24 by 41 inches in size, and printed on very heavy stock. It is quite a curiosity. Marietta Should bo Strictly In It. Following close on tho Napoleon crazo and bidding fair to rival it, comes tho Mario Antlonettc. Tho magic B. and the tragic N. aro gone, if not for gotten by Americans. Not so witb tho Europeans, who are still paying fabu lous prices for relics of tho Napoleonic age. "It is Marie Antionetto after whom tho world will run next," say tho jewelers, tho milliners, mantua makers and, in fact, everyone who pre sumes to know. Nothing is prettier than a Louis XVI. drawing room, with its mirrored walls, its simple coating of white paint, relieved by moldings of pale lilac or ciol blue. A drawing room of this kind, to bo thoroughly artistic, must have oycrything en suite. Tho mirrors, mounted by a figure with dovo and torso ; tho tables with marble tops, and the furniture in pale figured satin or striped silk of soft tints. Louis XVI. bronzes are easily recognized by tho delicate groups which support the sconces for innumerable lights. Never have such treasures of lace, jewels, gold and silver been placed before women's eyes for thoir approval as are heaped before them now, and it is due to Mario Antionotte, they say, and tho revival of tho styles of her period. Following the fichu and miniature craze, comes tho enormous muff which will make its appearance this winter, and promises to bo the most conspicu ous part of our maiden's out-door cos tume. Lowell.

On Saturday night the Republicans of Macksburg and vicinity turned out en masse, to celebrate over the great National victory. A big 24 pound can non punctuated tho cheers and applause of the multitude assembled and march ing with a brass band through all tho streets. A torch Heht procession was formed at the Hall, and singing and cheering, proceeded in good order to take in the town. A beautiful feature of this was the presence of young ladles, and, indeed, many of the married women, wearing yellow sashes, car rying torches, and singing : "Bye, Bryan Bye." This was as much a cam paign of women as it was of men, and they had tho same right to celebrate it and its magnificent victory. Deadly Fluberfc Illlle. A Cambridge special says:- John,Ales ander, aged 22, residing north of the city, who was accidentally shot by a younger brother Tuesday last, died this morning. John's brother, Fred, with some companions, were shooting with a Flobert rifie at a target on tho barn, when he came up and remarked ho did not think the gun would hurt at that distance. His brother said "Let mo try it on you," and ho answered, "All right," and stood before the tar get. The little boy pulled the trigger and tho Bhot entered John's forehead. The bullet broke his skull. The in jured man was brought hero and a physician located tho ball and after a difficult surgical operation removed it. After suffering six days death relieved him. The family are nearly prostrated, especially the brother who caused his death. ANOTHER SURVEY Using Marie for a Urlilco Across the Ohio at Thin l'olnt. On Tuesday a surveying corps under tho direction of Engineer Feikel, of Pittsburg, began the work of locating a brldgo to run from tho union depot, this city, on a west curve through tho alley to Front street and thence on a south curve dowtf Post street and across tho Ohio river to WiUlamstown, It is understood that Capitalist Jutte, of Pittsburg, is tho chief promoter be hind tho survey and that ho will en deavor to intorest tho railroads now ontoring Marietta in tho scheme For many years one of tho upper most hopes jn the hearts of the Marl attapubllc; has been for a tiridgo acdss the Ohio., It was hti plan of Boono when ho' was promoting tho Z. & O. R. to cross tho river at this point and build a railroad into tho heart of tho mineral wealth of West Virginia, but his castles were demolished before completed. What there may bo behind tho frequent surveys made for the lo cation of a bridgo hero is unknown. It may mean business or it may mean speculation. Timo alone will tell that story, but ono thing is certain and that is that the day will arrive when Mari etta's growth and tho development of West Virginia will require a lino of railroad straight into tho heart of the littlo Mountain State and a bridgo across tho Ohio will then be a necessity, To Marietta tho building of such a bridgo would mean the expenditure hero of a magnificent sum of money and tho benefits that would naturally follow. At any rate a railroad bridgo across tho Ohio is a possibility for Marietta in tho future, but while oyery loyal citi zen will take off his coat and go to work for it when tho time comes, there is still, as yot, no reason for putting up the price of real estate.

Trial Bottles Freo at INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY "L Truculent Negro I'nsscngcrs Subdued by a Friend of the Conductor, On I ho alley "L" road one evening' 11 trio of negroes boarded n southbound trutn and proceeded In u wuy to cap ture the cur they were in, They Stood in the ntslc nnd obstructed the prog ress of people coming and going out at tho different stations and were In clined to bo disputatious and quarrel some with anybody who ventured to criticise their conduct. Ono ot them in particular, the largest of the three, was especially pugnacious, nnd finally, when tho conductor ordered Ihein 1o tike their seats tho big fellow threat ened all sorts of destruction to the official, and defied him openly to lay hands on him, says the Chicago Chron icle. Jl - , Tho conductor passed to the next car and enlisted the sen Ices otannqgudint-J ance othls, a "bouncer" a oriq pjtboj smaller theaters. This worthy weighed about 240 pounds and was a giant in strength and size. Ho walked into the car where the darkles stood, grabbed tho big one, who was at least half afoot shorter than the bouncer, and dragged him tp the door. As the car was jusf. then slacking up at a station the bouncer threw tho col ored man clear over the gate and on to tho platform without waiting for the guard to open the gate. The darky sprawled nil over tho plrftform and his two companions slunk to scats ns the bouncer looked back into the car. The train went on, the two remaining "ter rors" 'keeping very still. After several stations had been passed one of them spoke in subdued tones to the other. All he said was: "Datsholy was a strong man." ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND EYESIGHT Unprotected Lamps Found to Do Inju rious to the Eyesleht. Tho question of injury to the eyes from electric light is being prominent ly discussed by scientists, oculists and laymen throughout tho country. While opinions widely differ as to the ulti mate injury likely to result from tho rapidly increasing uso of electricity, the consensus of opinion is that light from uncovered or uncolored globes is working damage to the eyesight of hu manity. In a discussion of the subject a London electric light journal, in de fending its trade, feels called upon to make some important admissions. It says: "It is not customary to look at the sun, and not c en tho roost enthusi astic electrician would suggest that naked arcs and incandescent filament, were objects to be gazed at without limit. But naked are lights are not usually placed so as to eomo within the line of sight, and when they do acci dentally, whatccr may result, the in' jury to the eye is quite perceptible. The filament of a glow lamp, on the. other hand, is most likely to meet the eye, but n frosted bulb is an extremely simple arul common way of getting over that difficulty. The wholo trouble can bo easily remedied by the use of properly frosted or colored glass globes. In any case, however, the aetuaT permanent injury to the eye by the glowing fila ment is no greater than that due to nn ordinary gas flame.'"' THEY NEVER HEARD OF HIM. Two Chicago Business Men Who Wondered Who Gooro It. Davis Is. Three men were chatting together in a Madison street cigar store. It was raining outside and neither wa-5 in a hurry to leave. Ono of them was a well known politician and the other two were annarcntlv successful luisinic men. A military-looking gentleman wiui snowwnitc hair, mustache and chin whiskers enteied, says the Chica go Chronicle. "Good evening," said tho politician. "A nasty night," he added. "Who is that?" nueriprl nun of -fhi. other two men of tho politician after xno man he had addressed as colonel had gono out "Why, don't you know him Royal George Davis?" "Well, who is Royal Gcorgo Davis, anyway?" "George R. Da vis don't know George R.?" ,"What did he do?" "Why, man, he was director general of tho world's fair!" "Never heard of him." The politician looked at the man in undisguised amazement. "Come, buy the cigars," was all he said. And such is fame. IIow Manufacturers Tost lllcyelcs. Unless one has visited a great bicycle factory it is not easy to appreciate the .many delicate operations that the parts of a bicycle arc subjected to, the many tests that must be passed, and the hun dreds of careful inspections that the many parts must pass before they are considered worthy or good enough to be assembled into a bicycle of standard worth. Visitors to a big manufactory are surprised at the extent of thi plant, the perfect appointments, and air of discipline that prevails throughout. It does not take tho mostlnexpericnepd long to see why it costs so much to biilld a good bicycle. lThei most exacting care is required; the very best materials are necessary in every part; skilled labor oi the highest order is essential to obtain tho desired results, and if any part gets through tho Inspection-room and is afterwards found imperfect, it is noth ing short of marvelous. A Remedy for Thinness. A French paper tells tho story of a dramatic instructor who had as a pu pil a girl who was very pretty; but woefully thin. Thinness is so fatal on tho stage except where there h tho highest genius, ns in tho caso of that great actress of whose admirers it is said flint they prefer grace beforo meat that ho consulted a physician about it The physician recommended belladonna. "Why?"askedthedraraatio Instructor. "Because," was the rcnlv. "belladonna has theproperty of dilating mo pupil," TO PREVENT BILIOUSNESS. American Should Cat More Green Vege tables and Salads. Authorities on diet bellevo that.H would be well for most-of us who arc in health to eat more green vegetables with our meat and starchy foods than we do nt present, says tho New York Post. Indeed, some go so far ns to be lieve that the absence from our menus of plenty of green vegetables and salads accounts for tho biliousness of the American people. The best known of such plants aro lettuce, beet-tops, dan delion, kale and spinach, but Mr. Col llle, botanist of tho United States de partment of agriculture, finds that there arc many other palatablO and healthful plants that, though rarely used, mkjhf. add a pleasant variety to oucjkjt.of'ayallable vdgetables.Ohe of these, "winter cress," or Barbnroaproc-' cox,uwb.ich ii cultivated from this city southward and' is sold In largo quanti ties in tho "'Washington markets, Fa planted in late summer or early fall and needs very little cultivation, An other plant that belongs to the spinach and beet family, though It is a com mon wced In fields nnd gardens lnneaf ly every part of tho United States, h "lamb's quarters," Or Chenopodium al bum. It is in many places commonly known either as pigweed or goosefoot, but It Is not the true pigweed. The plant has a pale-bluish green 'color, and is used when six or eight inches high is tender, juicy and pleasant to tho taste. The teasing weed, the common garden "pusley," or "purslane," when boiled is also recommended as a most palatable green vegetable and can easily be had. In India, where it originated, the plant has been used for hundreds of tyears. InEuropeltlsusedbothasapot hcri) nnd for salads. HE VOWED VENGEANCE. And dot It with a Will Lord Reginald's rath. "He struc-c-c-k mcl" The villain strode up and down the stage cycle path and ground his teeth with rage, says tho New York World. "He struc-c-e-c-k Cecil Legree!" In 0 ery ecstasy of fury the villain' stamped his feet and tore his hair. "He struck Cecil Legree! No 'man ever did that and Uved to tell the tale. And as for the girl ah, me proud beau ty, you shall yet feel the cngeance of a Legree!" What enom, what hatred there was in the bitter words. Een the pale moon wobbled in tho cam as heavens. , "I ha'Ne the papers; ha, ha, hn! I'll bide me time, and then, then I'll cross his. path again!" Raising his clenched hand the villain sened notice upon high he-uenand the property moon that some day he w ould puncture proud Lord Reginald's tire. "I'll cross his path again! I'll cross his path again!" he repeated.

In nil tho stress and trouble of his long political career, says the Dramatic Mirror, Gladstone has never gave such eidence of his mental balance and his title to human admiration as he did the other day at Hawarden. He was judge and prize-gher at a competitive meet ing of 25 brass bands. Ho heard them all play, and he was amiable to tho last.
