Here's a Husband who was Worth
tiood Money.
The New Woman in a New Roie-Buys
a Man Outright from his Wife,
who was willing to Sell.
The “new woman” has evidently struck
her gait at last.
W e kind o' thought all the time that the
emancipated maiden would not be content
with wearing bloomers and a shirt waist
with a masculine tie.
The running of
Fourth of July celebrations and dabbling
active!}’ in political strife was more to her
liking, because it was further removed
from the erstwhile limits which have
hedged her about.
Now we see that she proposes to ran her
own affaires-du-coeur very largely to her
liking, and she proposes to make Man-poor
captive Man, who has hitherto insisted upbeginning the word with a big capital M.
she proposes to make him a marketable
commodity with a fluctuating scale of values
attached. He will doubtless be quoted in
the future in the daily market reports along
with wheat and corn and country butter.
That he starts out with a fair figure is some
consolation, although there-is no telling
how soon an overwhelming throwing of
the commodity into commerce may cause a
slump in the market.
If a deal just consumated over in Ham­
mond may be accepted as a criterion, a
fair average man, physically sound, with a
solid job, a light-brown moustache that
curls on the ends and a penchant for per­
fumed cigarettes, is worth 8750 in cash or
convertible property.
A day or so ago we noticed in the Ham­
mond papers the marriage of William T.
Harris, a recent divorcee, to a Miss Carrie
West of Delphi. About the same time our
Delphi exchanges told us that a Miss Carrie
West had transferred certain real estate
there to a Mrs. Susan Harris of Hammond.
Now comes a Delphi press correspondent
and tells of the hitherto unwritten chapter
of romance, in the Chicago Tribune.
It seems that W ill T. Harris came from
Hammond to Delphi to take the position of
the night operator at the Monon depot. He
was married and left his wife back in

Special attention given to the
Hammond,
In Delphi he met Miss West. She was
the foster daughter of the late Judge James
H. Stewart and wife.
^
From them she inherited about $20,000.
Soon after Harris met Miss West they
fell deeply in love with each other, and he
lived at her home. When friends remon­
strated with her she replied that the fire of
Love was sacred—of divine origin, as it
were—and therefore above the petty carp­
ing1of earthly critics.
Harris brought suit for divorce against
his wife. She was apparently a woman of
good business inteligence, and realized that
the time to dispose of marketable goods
that one doesn’t want is while the demand
is strong. Accordingly her attorney. Law­
yer Knotts, notified Miss West that Mrs.
Harris was willing to dispose of her claim
to her husband for a money consideration.
So the bargain was struck, the wife received
8750, threw up her hand and dropped out
of the game. The second wedding followed
close upon the divorce case.
In all candor, we can foresee that in the
future the board of trade will be in the
hands of our progressive sisters, and that
the most active feature of the market will
be Man—all sorts and conditions of men at
prices dependant upon the quality of the
of the article and the natural law of supply
and demand.—Ex.
W e detest yonr social system thoroughly.
Shoddy Americans who come over here in
hot pursuit of social recognition we regard
with disgust as you regard with disdain.
There can be no affinity between aristoc­
racy and Democracy. In many ways we
are commercial rivals. I f we ever get rid
of our absurd tariff restrictions we can
meet and beat England in all the neutral
markets, and recover from her those mark­
ets. that geographically belong to us.”
“ The Monroe doctrine, as it is called,'1
said Mr. Watters on, “ has come to stay.
Strengthened and reaffirmed by its modem
interpretation it is an assertion of national
aspiration. W e are more than a match for
any two nationalities on the Eflobe. W e
are a vast imperial Republic and we mean
to be respected and felt among nations.
We mean absolutely to control and dominate in American affairs. W e do not want
Canada, but Mexico and Central and South
America are under our wing and our word
shall be law.”
“ I look for no serious consequences,”
he went on, ‘ ‘in the Venezuelan matter.
A war between England and the United
States would be the disintegration of the
British empire, and no greater evil could
happen to mankind.” —Ex.

Acc ep ts.
Hon. W ilfrid Laurier 011 Friday visited
Lord Aberdeen at Ottawa, Ont., when
the formal offer of the premiership of
Canada was made him and accepted.
T h e understanding is that no attack will
be made by Mr. Laurier on the protective
tariff left him as a legacy by his prede­
cessors this session.
One of the first
steps to be taken by t i e new govern­
ment will l>e in the direction of reopening
negotiations with Washington looking
toward a treaty of reciprocity with the
United States.
An effort will also be
made looking toward the admission of
Newfoundland into the dominion. P a r ­
liament will meet about the middle of
August, and after the estimates are put
through an attempt will be made to cut
legislation shor* till the January session
and until the incoming government will
have had time to get matters in better
shape for legislative purposes than they
can possibly be put in at such short no­
tice. O f course the responsibility of deal­
ing with the Manitoba school question
falls upon Mr. Laurier and his govern­
ment. but in ihat direction nothing will
|>e done this session. H e has promised
that a commission will be at once ap­
pointed to look into the merits of the case,
and that the Manitoba government will
be sounded with a view to determining
upon what lines that province would be
willing to settle the question. A commis­
sion will also be appointed to investigate
the manner in which the affairs o f the
country have been administered for the
past eighteen years by the T o ry govern­
ment.

A t Guthrie. O. T., fourteen prisoners
overpowered the guards in the United
States jail late Saturday night and broke
out. Bill Doolin and Dynamite Dick, the
last survivors of the Dalton gang, who
were charged with the murders commit­
ted in the Ingalls fight, at which four
deputy marshals were killed, were the
principal actors. Fourteen out of thirtynine prisoners cseaped. They were all
desperate characters.
They got the
guards’ revolvers and a Winchester by
a rush out of th^ cages when the gate
was opened. They knocked one of the
guards down and then placed the other
two guards in the steel cages, compelling
them to go in at the points of their re­
volvers.
H avin g the guards safe, the
ringleaders called for every one of the
prisoners to escape if they wanted to.
Only fourteen followed. W illiam Beck,
one of the escaped prisoners, returned
aud said that Doolin was so weak that
he sat by the side of the road, out of the
city, wondering how he would escape.
Later the outlaws made a man named
Schofield and his girl get out of a buggy
and give it to them. A posse of deputy
marshals went iu pursuit of the escaped
prisoners.

railroads. Sunday night the rainfall in
the interior was very heavy, and about
2 o’clock Mon lay morning there was so
much rain that it approached a cloud­
burst in volume. The various creeks, in­
cluding Big and Little Wheeling Creeks,
Little Grave Creek, Jim’ s Run, on the
W est Virginia side of the river, and
Wheeling Creek, W egee Creek and other
tributaries on ihe Ohio side, sent out an
immense amount of water. The water
was speedily out of banks. Farm houses
were washed from foundations, stock
drowned, growing crops destroyed and
many narrow escapes from death in the
raging waters. Wheeling creek put out
into the Ohio so furiously that upbound
towboats were unable to stem the tide
and had to tie up below the city. The
Baltimore and Ohio bridge extends over
the mouth of the creek and was soon
seen to be in danger, as the water was
carrying away the foundation of the pier
at. the north side. A ll cars and property
of value were taken away and people
warned of the danger. A t 11:30 a. m.
the east span went down and carried
with it the railroad bridge to the west.
Farther up the creek, the trestle work of
the Wheeling Terminal road was carried
away and J. N. Rosenberg, an aged con­
tractor, was carried down with the wreck.
H*» was rescued by spectators. T w e lv e
miles below the city, at Moundsville, the
damage was quite severe.
The steel
bridges of the Ohio River and Baltimore

Liquor riots have commenced in Alaska
and others are expected. It is unlawful
to take liquor into the territory except
under special permit for medical pur­
poses, and once in it is difficult to prevent
selling withou’ proof the liquor is contra­

Court in Juneau Federal Attorney Ben­

juries in severai cases after hearing the
evidence promptly brought in verdicts of
acquittal. • The remaining cases were
consequently dropped. Alaska papers just
in say that since then Juneau saloons
have been acting on the theory that there
is no law that can reach them, aud defy

Saturday, foi the first time, tlie flag of
the United States wa floated with fortyfive stars on its blue field, indicating the
admission of Utah to the sisterhood of
States.
Gen?ral orders issued by the
W a r and N avy Departments prepared
the way for the change, aud for several
months past the flagmakers have been
busy in placing a new star on the flags in
stock.
From economical considerations
the old army flags will not be retired at
once, but will be replaced only as they
are worn out in service by the new en­
signs. In the case of the naval flags the
change was more easily made, for all of
these flags are made at the N ew York
and Mare Island navy yards, while those
on hand on shipboard may be readily
altered by the expert saiimakers.

Railroad companies can no longer carry
their own business letters over their roads
without paying postage. An order from
Postmaster General Wilson was received
by Major Stuart, postal inspector at Chi­
cago, and Postmaster Hesing, insisting
upon the enforcement of the postal laws
against railways carrying their own let­
ters. An exception is made in favor of
such letters tnat have to do with the busi­
ness of the train carrying them. But all
letters to station agents and officials are
forbidden to be carried without postage,
and the inspectors are directed to enforce
the law. The new order will add several
thousand dollars a year to the Govern­
ment revenues from the many roads cen­
tering in Chicago.
REWARDS
FOR
LYNCHERS.
Governor Lowndes
Determined
to
Stop M o b O u t r a g e s in M a r y l a n d .
In the last thirty days two men have
been lynched in Maryland, almost on the
outskirts of the national capital.
The
lynchings have caused much feeling at
Washington. Gov. Lowndes of Maryland
has offered a reward of $ 1,000 for the
apprehension of the lynchers of Joseph
Cocking in Charles County, and an addi­
tional $1,000 for the capture of the lynch­
ers of the negro Randolph in Montgom­
ery.
in discussing the reward Gov.
Lowndes expressed great indignation at
the outrages, and declared his intention
of doing all in his power to bring the
offenders to justice. H e said: “ I f I only
had the power to do so, I would remove
the sheriffs of Charles and Montgomery
Counties at once, for I think the crimes
would lia.e been prevented had they
properly performed their official duties. I
cannot remove them, but their presence in
office is a disgrace to the two counties.”

The overland flyer on the Chicago and

laden picnic train near Logan, Iowa, for­
ty miles east of Omaha, early Saturday
evening. Twenty-eight people were killed
and fifty-one injured, many o f whom will
die. Twenty-four of the dead are identi­

that identification is hardly possible.
The list o f the injured is a lengthy one.

miles west o f Logan. Both trains came
together head 011 while traveling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour and was caused
by Engineer Montgomery of the picnic
train mistaking orders. H e should have
waited on the siding at Logan until the
passenger train and the fast overland flyer
had passed. He only waited long enough
for the passenger to fly by and then pull­
ed out 011 the main track with the throttle
wide open and a full head o f steam on.
The crash came so quickly that Montgom­
ery had barely time to jump. The excur­
sion train was composed of seventeen
passenger' cars, loaded with 1,500 men.
women and children, mostly from Council
Bluffs and Omaha. They were making
merry, singing and shouting. The weight
o f the excursion train and the speed of the
freight made the wreck a fearful one. The
two engines were completely demolished
and’ the first two cars of each train tele­
scoped. The work o f death was wrought
in the first coach of the excursion train.
I 11 this were nearly 100 people and but a
fe w of them escaped without injury.
There was no warning, and with the
wreck o f the car came death or dangerous
injury to almost every occupant. A ll of
the coaches were badly shaken up, but
the dead were confined to the first passen­
ger coach.

The saloon men, who for a week have
been giving Terre Haute the novel expe­
rience of closed saloons after 1 p. 111. and
on Sunday, kept open Saturday, which
was a violation o f law, 011 account of its
being a holiday. Prosecutor Huston has
a bushel o f affidavits against them. The
saloon men have been voluntarily comply­
ing with the closing feature of the law
since the Supreme Court held it to be
valid, but they wouldn't go so far as to
keep closed two days in succession. J'wo
big citizens’ meetings have been held,
but the saloon men came to the conclu­
sion that the participants in these meet­
ings would not. take an active part in
prosecuting violators o f tlie law. There
is where they made a mistake.

Mrs. Susan Harris, of Hammond, has
disposed o f her husband, W illiam T. H a r ­
ris. to Miss Carrie West, of Delphi, for
$750. Miss W est is the foster daughter
of the late Judge .lames H. Stewart and
wife. She inherited from her foster par­
ents about $20,000. Harris came to Del­

W es t became infatuated with him. and
he lived at her home. She said to remon­
strating friends that their love was of
divine origin, and soon afterward Harris
brought suit for divorce from his wife,
whom he had left at Hammond. A t to r ­
ney Knotts, of Hammond, notified Miss
W est that Mrs. Harris was willing to ,
dispose of her claim to her husband for
money, and the bargain described was
struck. The other Stewart heirs have
brought suit to set aside the will.

The managers of the

he could scarcely speak, and he handed
the gavel over to Congressman Richard­
son of Tennessee, wiio announced that
the committee on resolutions w*as ready
to report, and called to the platform Sen­
ator Jones of Arkansas to make the com­
mittee report.
The platform as reported by the com­

The third term idea is opposed, and the
declared extravagance of the last Repub­

The platform concluded, the report
for the minority was read by J. H. W ade,
of Ohio, and the gold people rose and

W illiam Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska,
was nominated for the Presidency by the
Democratic national convention amid
ecenes o f the wildest enthusiasm. The
result was reached Friday afternoon on
the fifth ballot. When the result of the
deciding ballot was announced the vast
concourse that filled the Coliseum burst
into a storm of cheering and applause
that made the great girders of the build­
ing tremble.
Standing on chairs and
climbing on one another’ s shoulders, the
people yelled and shrieked and waved
hats, canes and handkerchiefs.
Swept
aw ay by such enthusiasm, nearly all the
delegates joined in the wonderful demon­
stration.

•
“ boy orator of the Platte*’ or not.
There were but few demonstrations be­
fore the convention was rapped to order
Friday morning.
The leaders came in
quietly.
A t 10:57 Chairman W hite of
California called the convention to order.
Rev. Dr. Green offered prayer. Chair­
man White then announced that the con­
vention was still on the call of States for
nominations. Thereupon Mr. H arrity of
Pennsylvania placed in nomination exGov. Robert E. Pattison. This evidence
that Pennsylvania would, stand by the
platform and participate in the nomina­
tion drew a cry of delight from the silver
men. and Pattison’s name got a swinging
round o f applause from the galleries. Mr.
M attingly of the District o f Columbia
seconded the nomination of John R. M c­
Lean of Ohio. Delegate Miller of Ore­
gon added to the list of nominations the
name o f Sylvester Pennoyer of Oregon.
Such a family of favorite sons as the
convention showed up after the first bal­

convention. T ntil the T,oII was nearly finjsheti jhere were iun*teen oe them and

FIRST
DAY.
The convention hall doors were opened
at 1 1 o'clock, and those entitled to admis­
sion permitted to enter.
A t 12 o'clock
the Seventh LegimciU band took its sta­
tion in the balcony ov*i the chairman’ s
desk, and discoursed sweet harmony till
he arrived to call the convention to order.
A t 12:50 o’ clock Chairman Harrity, of
the National Democratic Committee,
with the convention navel in hand, rap­
ped loudly for order and introduced Rev.
E. M. Stires, who raised his hands to
heaven in an invocation for wisdom,
peace and good-will among the assem­
bled Democra?y of the nation. The vast
assemblage, numbering over twelve thou­
sand people, rose and remained standing
during the devotions.
A t the conclusion of the prayer the
chairman announced that the National
Committee had reported Hon. David B.
Hill Gf N ew York f o r temporary presiding
officer of the convention. Then he was
interrupted and the silver men had their
chance.
Gold cracked the whip that started the
convention and then silver, eager for con­
trol. climbed into the front seat and grab­
bed the reins. I f there was one fact ap­
parent from the moment when the first
sharp Western cheers went echoing
the mere sweep of numbers. When the
rhetorical smoke had cleared away, after
two hours of arguments, appeals, threats,
cheers and some hisses, there sat Senator
Daniel of Virginia in the place of honor,
and David B. H ill had been defeated in
the camp of his friends. The vote upon
the motion that the name of John W .
Daniel of Virginia be substituted for that
of David B. Hill of New’ York for the
position of temporary chairman of the
convention resulted: le a s , 550; nays, 349;
not voting, 1 .
Escorted by the committee, the tem­
porary chairman, John W . Daniel, of V ir­
ginia, passed up to the platform, where,
when he appeared, he was received with
an immense eruption of cheers and yells.
While the delegates and everybody else
in the house were yelling and cheering
Chairman H arrity passed the gavel over
to Mr. Daniel, wTho took it and then ad­
dressed the convention.
When Mr. Daniel had concluded, the
secretary called the roll of States and
territories for the appointment of com­
mittees, after which the convention ad­
journed until 10 o’ clock Wednesday
morning.

On the fifth, ballot Bryan received 560

among the high arches of the Coliseum
it was that this Democratic convention
was to be for free silver—emphatically,
combatively, noisily. Usually the open­
ing day of a convention is a mere pre­
liminary—nothing more than the lining
up before the battle. I f there is any fight­
ing it is only a skirmish. But the Demo­
cratic skirmish developed into a big bat­
tle. The heaviest artillery of the goldstandard East thundered and volleved.
Big guns of the South and W est answer­
ed with might and main. The flags w av­
ed. A great biack swarm of spectators
cheered on the contending factions. For
two hours the battle raged—all because
the silver men said that the gold-stand­
ard men should not have even the scant
satisfaction of naming a temporary chair­
man. Silver won. I t carried the day by
T h u r s d a y N i g h t Session.
A t the night session, in the presence
of fully 25,000 people, the nominating
speches wrere made, and there was a
repetition of the exciting scenes of the
afternoon. The Bryan enthusiasm con­
tinued.
The galleries w'ent frantic at
every mention of his name, and the wild
demonstration of the afternoon was du­
plicated when he was placed in nomina­
tion by H. T. Lew is of Georgia, and sec-
The crowds began pouring into the
Coliseum shortly after 9 o’clock Wednes­
day morning, but the heavy-eyed dele­
gates, many of whom had had an allnight vigil, w’ere late in arriving.

rected that the aisles be cleared. Rev. Dr.

for Blackburn, Hill, Bryan and Altgeld.
“ Kentucky Joe” made a vigorous speech
for free silver.
Senator H ill and Mr.
Bryan w*ere not present.
The crowd
shouted vociferously for Gov. Altgeld.
The Governor spoke for nearly half an
hour, and from start to finish his address
was a bitter denunciation of the capital­
ists, far and near. J. F. Williams, of
Massachusetts, followed with a free silver
speech. He, too, attacked the railroads,
the corporations and Wal? street.
Five minutes later the committee on
credentials filed into the hall. Delegate
Atwood, of Kansas, chairman of the com­
mittee, read th? report. I t confirmed the
action of the national committee in every
detail except Nebraska and Michigan. In
the former case the action of the national
committee w-as reversed, thus seating the
Bryan delegates. In regard to Michigan,
the committee decided to leave the matter
open for future action. Chairman W hite
put the motion to adopt and declared it
carried by a viva voce vote. The seating
of the Bryan delegates was received with
tremendous cheers by the convention, and

The issue was precipitated when the
committee reported in favor o f seating
four contesting delegates in Michigan.
This change gave the silver men a major­
ity, and under the unit rule they could
cast the vote o f the entire delegation for
the w^hite metal. A minority report was
presented and followed by speeches from
Gov. McLaurin of Mississippi, Saulsbury
of Delaware, Stevenson of Michigan, and
others. Stevenson scored the committee
and the contestants in vitriolic arguments,
Blake of Texas declared the contested
seats were tainted with fraud of which
the committee had evidence, and
McIvnight of Michigan refuted the accusa­
tions.
Amid much confusion, the roll was call­
ed upon the substitute. The excitement
grew as the vote proceeded. Seven dele­
gates from Alabama put themselves on
record as opposed to unseating the Dick­
inson delegates, and eleven Californians,
led by Senator White, did the same thing.
The silver men sent up a wild cheer
when A. S. Trude announced the vote of
Illinois as 48 against the substitute. Sen.ator Hill rose w hen New’ York was called
and announced “ Seventy-two votes aye.’ ’
The announcement inspired a great dem­
onstration in the galleries. The gold men
rose from their seats with flying hats and
handkerchiefs, and cheered continuously
for over five minutes. The gold delegates
got up on their chairs, NewT Y'ork and
Massachusetts leading.
But, only onethird of the convention rose. The other
tw'O-thirds sat silent and stern.
The
demonstration which succeeded the an­
nouncement of the vote was in marked
contrast. In one case the gallery led; in
the other the delegates.
The galleries
shouted for gold, but the delegates voted
for silver. When the chairman declared
the amendment lost by a vote of 558 to
368 the silver delegates leaped to their
chairs in demonstration, turning defiantly
toward the audience as they cheered.
The silver men had w~on battle number
two and the non-contentious business of
electing permanent officers followed. Sen­
ator Stephen M. White, of California,
was escorted to the chair.

MEDIGALDISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS.,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war­
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed­
time. Sold by all Druggists.
D o iit take substitutes to
save a few pennies. I t won't
pay you. Always insist on

On the tifth day of the Chicago conven­
tion and on the- fifth ballot, Arthur Sewall of Maine was named as the Democrat­
ic candidate for V ice-President. A few
minor motions were speedily disposed of,
the gavel fell announcing adjournment
and one of the most noted political con­
ventions ever held in this country had
passed into history. The end was like the
beginning. It was the South and W est
against the North and East on the tirst
day. when Chairman H arrity rapped fot
order. Ir was the Soil. i and West against
the Xorth and East through four long,
toilsome days over committee reports,
platforms and nominations. And Satur­
day afternoon it was the South and W est
against themselves to placate the North
and East in rhe nomination of a candi­
date for
V k e-President.
Geography
made Sewall the nominee. It was the
most remarkable political gathering of a
generation and it laid the foundation fo r
a new volume of history. The national
anthem, rolling through the great amphi­
theater. pronounced its benediction.
The convention did not decide Friday
night who would be placed on the ticket
with Bryan. The body had hardly been
brought to oraer before a motion to ad­
journ was offered, and the delegates glad­
ly postponed the task of completing the
ticket to the filth day.
The convention met Saturday for its
last day’ s work depleted in members, tired
in body and mind and listless in spirit.
There were no eager thousands in the
galleries to encourage ambitious speak­
ers with applause. Among the delegates
there was 110 desire to punctuate the day's
proceedings with pyrotechnics. The con­
vention did not get under way until after
11 o'clock. The delegates were slow in
arriving and the public apparently had
had a sufficiency o f convention amuse­
ment. The smallest crowd o f the week,
probably less than 3.000, was ranged on
the shelving sides of the amphitheater.
Sound money delegates from the East
nearly all had departed. Silver delegates
were absent by the score, leaving the del­
egations to pick for them a vice-presiden­
tial candidate out of the mass of uncer­
tainty. The small attendance was due to
laek of interest. There was no limitation
on admission to the hall. Before the con­
vention began business Senator Ben T ill­
man of South Carolina pried open the
doors with his famous pitchfork and al­
lowed all who wished to enter. In detail,
he offered a motion, which was passed,
that the hall be opened to the public with­
out restriction. This was received with
much enthusiasm.
Despite an apparent lack of enthusiasm
the contest for second place would have
stood out as a notable convention strug­
gle had it not been overshadowed by
what had l>een done before. Thirteen can­
didates were placed in nomination': W i l ­
liams of Massachusetts, McLean of Ohio,
Clark of Norih Carolina, Fithian of Illi­
nois. Pennoyer of Oregon, Sewall of
Maine, Sibley of Pennsylvania. Bland of
Missouri, Daniel of Virginia, Boies of
Iowa, Blackburn of Kentucky, H arrity
of N ew York and Pattison of Pennsylva­
nia.
Nominations scarcely were com­
pleted when withdrawals began and the
contest finally narrowed down to Sewall
and McLean.
Everybody expected a
nomination on the fifth ballot, but before
roll-call was finished a telegram was read
announcing M cLean's withdrawal and the
proposition wris made that Sewall be de­
clared the nominee by acclamation, and it
was done. The chairman laid down his
gavel and the Democratic national con­
vention of 189U was over.

Senator Janies K. Jones was elected
chairman of the Democratic national com­
mittee. The new chairman was called in
and made a speech, saying he was deeply
sensible of the honor, and accepted the
position because of the interest he felt in
the cause of silver. The members from
the gold States did not generally attend
the meeting, although there were some
notable exceptions.
Mr. H arrity was
there, having the proxy of E. C. W a ll of
Wisconsin. An interesting feature of the
meeting was the fact that the temporary
organization was presided over by Mr.
Harrity, a gold standard man. Among
the gold States not represented were
Maryland,

But a short time ago, in a distant part
of the country, we heard of a cure by the
use o f Dr. W illiams’ Pink Pills, which
seemed almost marvelous, and more re­
cently another substantial evidence of
their value reached our ears. Being of an
inquiring turn of miud, and wishing to
know just how much there was in the
story, a reporter was sent to interview
the person said to be thus benefited. I f
the narrative as it had reached our ears
was true, it was only simple justice to let
It be known—if it proved untrue, it would
be well to know it.
The person alluded to above as having
been thus greatly benefited by the use of
Pink Pills is Mrs. Jane Hotalen, of
Hainesville, N. J., a pleasant hamlet in
Sussex County,
about fifteen miles
from this office. The reporter had no
difficulty in finding Mrs. Hotalen. I t was
nearly noon when we reached her pleas­
ant home, a double house, one part of
which is occupied by her son. She is a
pleasant-faced old lady, looking to be
about sixty-five, but is in reality seventytwo years of age. A fte r a few prelimi­
nary remarks in explanation of the call,
she was asked if she had any objection
to giving us the details of the case and
how she came to try this now famous
remedy.
“ Not at all,” said she. “ I f my experi­
ence can be of any good to others, I am
sure they are welcome to it—it can do me
no harm.”
“ W hen were you taken sick and what
was the nature of the malady?” was
asked.
“ I t was about two years ago.
The
trouble was rheumatic in character—sci­
atica, they called it—and it was very
painful indeed. The difficulty began in
my hip and extended the whole length of
the limb, crippling me completely.
I
suffered intensely from it, and the ordi­
nary treatment gave me not the slightest
alleviation. I was under treatment about
a month as stated, but grew worse instead
o f better, and was fast becoming discour­
aged.”
‘ 'W h a t brought Pink Pills to your no­
tice?”
“ M y son called my attention to an article
in a paper, in which it was stated that a
Mr. Struble, of Branchville, a village in
this county, had been greatly benefited
by their use, and suggested that it would
be a good plan to try them. But I was
skeptical in regard to their value—in fact.
I had no confidence in their efficacy and
rather laughed at the suggestion. But
the trouble increased and I was badly
crippled. A few days later my son was
about to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again that it might be well to
try this much-talked-of remedy, and I
then consented. H e bought me a box of
them and I began taking them at once.
A t the end of a week I noted a marked
improvement, and by the time I had taken
the first box I was able to walk without
a cane.
I continued their use, taking
several boxes, and am, as you see, in a
very comfortable state of health.”
“ H a ve you had any return of the trou­
pe?”
“ Not as yet, though at my time o f life,
seventy-two, it would not be surprising if
I should have. I f it comes, I should at
once begin the use of the pills. I suppose
I inherit a tendency to troubles^ of this
kind—my mother died from them.”
“ Did you ever note &ny ill effects from
the use of Pink Pills?”
“ None whatever. They never disturb­
ed my stomach in any way or caused me
any annoyance. Neither did I find it nec­
essary to"increase the dose, as the direc­
tions say may be desirable. I am able,
as vou see, to attend to my own work.”
The reporter thanked Mrs. Hotalen for
her courtesy and bade her good day. I t
is not often that one can witness such a
complete recovery from such a pertina­
cious trouble at such an advanced age,
and such instances cannot fail to produce
a profound impression. Readers of the
Union may rely on the absolute accuracy
of all the statements here given—nothing
has been exaggerated, nothing withheld.
Dr. W illiam s’ Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elethents neces­
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are an unfailing specific for all forms of
weakness either in male or female, and
all diseases resulting from vitiated hu­
mors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold
by all dealers, or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price, 50 cents a box. or six
boxes for $2.50, by addressing Dr. W i l ­

“ Yes, sir,” resumed the Dakota
man, as the crowd of agriculturists
drew back from tlie bar and seated
themselves around a little table.
“ Yes, sir, we do things on rather a
sizable scale*
I ’ve seeu a man on
one of our big farms start out iu the
Spring and plow a straight furrow
until fall. Then he turned around
and harvested back*”
Carried his
gru b with him ?” asked a Brooklyn
farmer who raised cabbage on the
outskirts.
“ No, sir, they follow him up with
a steam hotel and have relays of men
to change plows for him.
W e have
some big farms up there, gentlemen.
A friend o f mine owned one on which
he had to give a mortgage, aud I
p le d g e you my word, the, mortgage
was due on oue end before-they could
get it recorded at the other.
You
see he had it laid oft’ in counties.
T h ere was a murmur of astonishment,
and the Dakota mau continued:
“J
got a letter from a man who lives in
my orchard, just before I left home,
and it had been three weeks getting
to the dw ellin g though it traveled
day and night.”
“ Distances are pretty wide up
there, aiut they t ” inquired a N ew
A lbany farmer. ‘‘ Reasonably,reason­
ably,” replied the Dakota man- “ and
the wor»t of it is, it- breaks up families
so. T w o years ago I saw a whole
family prostrated with grief; women
yelling, children howling and dogs
barking.
CD One of mv men had his
camp truck packed ou seven four
mule teams and he was b id d u g
everybody good-bye.”
“ Where was
he g o in g ? ” asked a Gravesend man*
“ H e was g o in g half way across the
farm to feed the p ig s ,”
“ Did he ever get back to his fam ­
ily ?”
“ I t isn’t time for him yet,” re­
turned the Dakota gentleman.
“Up
there we send young married couples
to milk the cows* and their children
bring home the m ilk ,”
“ I understand you have fine mines
up that w a y ,” ventured the Marmont
turnip planter.
“ Y «s, but w’e only use the quartz
|or fencing,” said the Dakota man.
i*It wouldn't pay to crush it, because
\ve can ma^e more money on wheat,
I put in seventeen hundred tow n­
ships of wheat last Spring*’* H o w
many acres would that ke?
“ W e don ’t count by acres.
We
count by townships and counties.
M v* V
vield was about fourteen million
of dollars ou wheat alone, aud I ’ m
thinking of breaking up about twenty
seven hundred more townships next
season.”
“ H o w do you get help for such ex­
tensive operations?” asked the Burr
Oak Gooseberry grinder.
“ Oh! labor is cheap,” replied the
Dakota man*
“ You can get all you
want for from seyenteeu to twentynine dollars a day*
In fact I never
paid over ninteen*”
“ Is land cheap?”
“ No, land is high*

as the Eastern husbandmen strolled
out in a bunch to consider the last
statement;
“ Is all this thing y o u ’ve
been tellin g tru e?”
“ Certainly,” responded the Westerd man; “ at least it is a modifica­
tion of what I saw in a Dakota paper
that was wrapped around a pair of
shoes I bought last n ig h t4 I didn’t
dare to put it as strong as the paper
did, for no one would believe it*
