NUMBER 29.
Youv overlooked something
you want, if you haven’t-been in
here to see our Hart Schaffner &
Marx Varsity suits.
There’s no style
for men . so pop
ular as the Varsi
ty. Other makers
imitate it, and
other dealers [sell
the imitation;
but they lack the
style that Hart
Schaffner & Marx
get into them;
and for the most
part they lack the
all-wool quality.

These men braved the rain and
cold to assemble there and give voice
to their sentiments In the naming of
men who will control the affairs of
Amerlcus and guard her every Inter
est.
Utmost harmony characterized the
meeting, and within an hour all
business was completed and the
"Citizens’ Ticket” selected.
In the assemblage were men from
every line of trade and profession in
Amerlcus. To the meeting came men
from the forge and workshop; the
store, the office; merchants, mechan
ics, clerks, manufacturers, bankers f
lawyers—all these and others, came.
It was the most spontaneous, em
phatic, united and harmonious meet
ing, perhaps, that has been held,
and it gave full expression to . the
sentiment of the people at large.
And the result cannot be otherwise
than gratifying.
At the appointed hour the meeting
opened with Mr. J. E. Mathis presid
ing as chairman; and J. W. Furlow,
of the Tlmes-Recorder, as secretary.
Chairman Mathis briefly stated the
object of the call for a citizens meet
ing—the nomination of an aider-
manic ticket In the primary, gnd ask
ed for expressions of opinion.
Brief but very pointed addresses
followed this call of the chair, Mr.
J. E. Sheppard, Mr. A. W. Smith, Mr.
G. S. Gardner and others respond
ing.
The trend of these speeches, which
at this late hour cannot be given In
full, .was unanimity of action for the
good of Amerlcus. The city Is at a
critical Juncture, they said, when busi
ness men, real business men, should
direct Its affairs..
Each address was followed by
rounds of applause.
Mr. Sheppard, in closing hla elo
quent appeal in behalf of Amerlcus,
proposed the name of Mr. Lee Allen
for a place upon the ticket
■A round of applause greeted the
suggestion, and when the question
was put Mr. Allen was unanimously
endorsed, as were Mr. Sheffield and
Mr. Eldrldge when thus named.
Mr. Allen thanked the meeting for
the confidence thus imposed and
pledged hli earnest efforts, if elect
ed. He sa d he had nothing to sell
the city, n > thing to buy from
city, and ^ ould labor, only in
city’s inter -sta.
Mr. Eldr dge's nomination was
rising vote, unanimously made, „.. u
while he begged that another than he
be named, he will thus accept the duty
Imposed. 4
Mr. Sheffield * was not present,
though heartily endorsing the citi
zens’ meeting. A committee of fifty
waited upon him at his residence la
ter and apprised him of the unanimous
action of the meeting.
The ticket, the "Citizens’ Ticket
thus completed, .was given the hearty
endorsement of all present.
Col. J. E. D. Shipp, In giving ap
proval to the action of the meeting,
expressed universal sentiment In
saying that a time had been reached
when personalities must be put In
the background and all stand united
ly for the ticket.
Three hundred citizens bad signed
the call for this meeting and all
would abide Its action.
More than these, other citizens
would endorse the action of such a
representative gathering of the busi
ness men of Amerlcus and heartily
support the ticket thus named.
They would stand together, re
gardless of any likes and dislikes, In
support of the ticket. Personalities
must be laid aside, Mr. Sblpp declar
ed, and for once the business men of
Amerlcus should stand and work en
thusiastically for the ticket
The meeting closed amid the great
est enthusiasm, subject* to the call
of the noitfli&qs. It was a splendid
meeting, marked by splendid results,
and the effect will be felt at the
ballot box or eleotion day.

CHINAMAN KIDNAPS
HIS SCHOOL TEACHER
Wily Celestial Sought to
, Get Reward.
PITTSBURG, PA., Nov. 20.—(Spe
cial)—Still under tho influence of a
powerful drug, which had Men given
her before she s was kidnapped, Airs.
W. L. Reese, wife of a wealthy boiler
manufacturer of Altoona, Pa., was
picked up by the police on Fourth
Avenue about 3 o’clock In company
with A1 Sing Dean, a -Chinese, who
had been a member ot her 8unday
school clans, and who had kidnapped
her. After a desperate fight with the
police Dean was also arrested, and is
now being held at Central Station
Without ball!
Mrs. Reese has almost, recovered
from the effects of the drug. She is
about 30 years old. With her husband
she lives In a magnificent house at
1,804 Fourth street, Altoona, which
her husband deeded to her gome time
ago. Mrs. Reese Is a member of the
First Lutheran Church of Altoona,
and because she bad so much time on
her hands she became Interested In
the Chinese Sunday School that had
Just been formed.
.^Teaching Celestials.
Teaching the Celestials was a novel
pasting, and Mrs. Reese became
muclr Interested. She had a class of
Chinese, and was finally elected as
sistant superintendent ot the Chinese HL
York a new Chinese, A1 Sing Doan.
He spoke excellent English, and im
mediately entered Mrs. Reese’q class.
When ho voluntered to act as inter
preter for her class Bhe was delight
ed.
Dean told Mrs. Reese much
about the Chinese and their troubles
in this country, and found that she
sympathized with him. He told her
that ho was In the employ of Mock
Duck of New York, who was organ
izing a society to bo known as the
“Little Hatchet Alen,” whoso object
would be to right the wrongs In
flicted on the Chinese. Airs. Reese
was very much Interested In it all.
Cave While Drug.
While Airs. Reeso and her mother
wero at luncheon at their home In-
Altoona, Dean called, ire had fre
quently been at tho house and was
welcomed. Soon after his arrival tho
telephono rang, and Airs. Reese’s
mother went to answer. While she
wns away, Dean turned the conversa
tion to the subject of opium and told'
her that the report that the Chinese-
wero opium fiends was outrageously
false. He said that the Americans
mistook some little white crystals
which the Chinese frequently took as
an appetizer for opium. He produc
ed some of the crystals, took one, aud
offered one to Mrs. Reeso. At first
she hesitated, but when Bhe saw the
Chinese nppifrently swallow one she
did likewise. Mrs. Reese remembers
little of what happened after that.
“I do not remember leaving my
homo with him,’.’ she said, “but I
distinctly remember being at the sta
tion and boarding a train with him..
It seemed to mo to he the most natur
al thing In the world for me to do
I had forgotten my home, my hus
band, my mother, and every one else,
and I looked upon tho world and ev
ery one in It from the eyes of a Chi
nese. I can believe nothing else than
that I was hypnotized.”
