BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 9, 1900 THE SCRATCHERS. Who said that voters did not know how to scratch? The scratcher was abroad in Lawrence county Tuesday. Republicans were diligent all day in getting even. Old scores were wiped out and so were majorities. The results are painfully apparent in a mixed ticket and reduced majorities. We regret the wandering of the erstwhile faithful. But it has been done. The MAIL does not believe in saying things of those Republicans who voted the Democratic ticket yesterday. Rather we think the proper thing is to try to get together for the future. There is a real Republican majority in this county of ten or twelve hundred. It should be cast for every man on the ticket. It will be in the future. The wanderers will soon be ashamed of their work. Let's ask them back, nominate a ticket satisfactory to all, and let Democratic candidates for county office in the future carry an empty dinner pail. Get together. **** TRUSTEES. Flinn, JACKSON, Democratic, 97 majority. Pleasant Run, HENDRICKS, Democrat. Perry, JACKSON, Republican, 2 majority. Indian Creek, KERN, Democratic, 14 majority.

Marshall, McFADDEN, Democratic, 38 majority. Guthrie, DODDS, Democrat. ************ Democrats elected township trustees in Indian Creek, Marion, Bono, Guthrie, Flinn, Pleasant Run and Marshall. The Republican elected in Shawswick, Perry, and Spice Valley. This will set all the Democratic teachers on a chance for County Superintendent. ******************* MIERS AND WADSWORTH.

This angered CORRELL and he struck BROWN in the eye, the blow destroying the eye-sight. Washington Herald. It pays to advertise.

It was promptly returned to the delighted owner. Between 1,500 and 3.500 people gathered at Seymour Wednesday, to hear a speech by Adlai Stevenson, Democratic candidate for Vice President.

BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1900 NOTRE DAME KNOCKED OUT. Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 25. Indiana University's eleven won the State championship here today by defeating Notre Dame in one of the fiercest and bloodiest games ever played in Indiana. The final score was 6 to 0, and only the umpire's whistle prevented another touchdown. With one minute to play Indiana had forced the ball to within five yards of Notre Dame's goal. Here the two teams fought and struggled like fiends until the whistle ended the game. So fierce was the play that four of Notre Dame's star players KUPPLER, FARRAGHER, WINTERS, and HAYS were carried from the field bleeding and almost unconscious. RUCKER was the only Indiana player injured. He received a severe sprain to his left leg. A cheering crowd of 1,500 students and other football enthusiasts witnessed the game. When the end came and Indiana had been declared the champions the players were carried from the field and through the streets on the shoulders of the students, headed by a band.
BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1900 There are a number of diphtheria cases in this city, and while many of them are not severe, they should call for general care and caution from our people. Diptheic symptoms are evident in the epidemic of sore throats that is floating about and grave results may follow neglect. Those who are affected should at once consult their family physician. A little care at the proper time may avert the distress and graver consequence which follow neglect. There has been a number of large crowds in the city recently and it is thought the germs have in some cases been brought in. Recent discoveries in medical science have done something to relieve diphtheria of its horrors but it is a very dangerous disease nevertheless, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
