Jacob Depuy, a grizzled old nimrod, tells a thrilling tale of his light with bear, liicli shows how near a man can come to death and yet live. While sitting before his tire he heard tin ominous growl behind him.

Quick as a (lush, Depuy jumped to his feet, gun in hand, and eyes and ears wide opened, lie soon caught sight of a large bear, and fired, but the shot only angered without disabling the brute, which advanced with gleaming eyes toward him. Iioaring with pain and rage, it rushed upon the hunter, and a dreadful struggle for mastery ensued. Somehow or other, Depuy managed to unsheath his long, sharp hunting-knife, and as he and the bear rolled around now iu the red hot embers of fire, now perilously near high abyss, now being bumped against the ragged edge of projecting pieces of rock he plunged it into the body of the infuriated animal. At last, with one supreme effort, the man plunged his trusty knife up to the hilt in the heart of his foe, and the bear dropped dead. As this brave hunter fought with his enemy, so do many light with disease.

In the peaceful contentment of their homes, they do not dread that disorder of the nerves which is so near. Suddenly an aching head, or a pain in the back, or a sleepless night, shows that the nerves are weakened. Then begins a terrible struggle; health and happiness, often life itself are at stake. Now is the time to use Paine's Compound. Quickly the nervous weakness will lessen its grip and be conquered.

Sutton's ill advised friends, but was just what might, have been expected had they looked the situation over more carefully. A large number of democrats either voted for the republican candidates or remained away from tlio polls, while it is claimed a largo number of republicans voted the democratic ticket. Two years ago, when Senaca Ilaselton ran for mayor on I ho democratic ticket, Gen. Henry's majority was only 78, and Judge Peek's majority over Mr. Hare for city judge was 15.

This year Mr. Sutton was beaten by 224 majority, and ex-Judge Hare was retained in private life by 256 majority. It should he remembered that in 1888, when Mr. Ilaselton came so near an election, Mr. Sutton was not an active worKer, and the democratic vote was 982 against 705 in 1889, when Mr.

Sutton labored hard for the ticket. He will take greatcrcditto himself for polling 817 votes this year, and may be expected to bob up serenely for city representative next fall as a high license candidate, or in any other garb in which he can masquerade. It ought certainly to be evident to his followers that he is not the man for the day or for several days to come. His ability is unquestioned. He has earned a reputation for being the sharpest politician in the democratic party in this city, but his methods are such as to warrant the ack of confidence which seems to possess a large number of democrats as well as republicans Ex-Judge Hare would have polled a much larger vo had it not been known that he was urged by Mr.

Sutton to accept a nomination at the hands of his (Sutton's) friends, and had he been upon a ticket with such a man as Senaca Ilaselton. or some other equally reliable. The fact that Mr. Hare peddled his own votes at the polls, as did also Mr. Sutton, was to say the least in bad taste.

The republicans re elected four out five aldermen. In the First ward, El-ihu B. Taft, was defeated by Alderman O. S. Storrs, nominated by ci i-zens for re-election, by 40.

The only other inicst was in Ward 2, where the republicans re-elected Alderman Pain-c'oaud by 144 majority. The demociats re-elected Alderman Rand in Ward 3. without opposition. The republicans re elected Alderman Elias Lyman in the Fifth and and elected R. G.

Sever-sou in the Fourth. The next, board will stand 7 republicans and 3 democrats. By of the vote for mayor is given for each year since 1885, as follows 1885 U. A. Woodbury, Dr.
