The vote for the final two days of the cam paign next Monday and Tuesday will be very small In comparison to the offer which began yesterday and ends tonight x A new yearly subscription to the Banner turned in during these two days, including today, will secure fifty thousand extra votes.

The unlor) is happy hut it clouded by the jealousy of the chiefs daughter who realizes there is no hope for her with the young officer’s affections. The balance of the story has to do with the adventures that befall the little family in their efforts to escape to civilization once more. “The Last Days of •Antony ^nd Cleo- YOUNG GERMAN CHARGED WITH CONSPIRING TO BLOW UP WELLAND CANAL.
