The city directory gives Chicago a population of 2,160,000, or 400,000 more people than the city of New York. Every attempt of the administra- tion to reduce the expenses of the government meets with criticism from the republican press. The woman’s christian temperance union has inaugurated a crusade against the joints in Ft. Scott. Postmaster Vancott of New York, signalized his retirement from office by appointing 55 new letter carriers. Under the head of failures for this year comes the meeting of the Chau- tauqua assembly at Sedalia. The president has decided to convene congress August 7th. Now just hold your breath and wait and see what is done. A big meeting of the coal miners will be called at Pittsburg, Kansas. this week, to take some decisive ac tion in the present strike. Governor Altgeld denies the story that he is not a citizen. His father was naturalized at Mansfield, Ohio, when the governor was a small boy. Much interest has been excited by the disappearance of Lewis Mayhew from his home at Bluff City, II. under peculiar circumstances. The judges of the St. Clair coun- ty court should act on the sugges- tion of Judge Phillips in the matter of settling their bond troubles. Aside from the $2,560,000 given to the Stanford university of Califor- nia, Senator Stanford gives the re- mainder of the estate to his wife to do with as she sees fit. The millers had a day at the world’s fair Thursday. At their meeting they adopted a resolutron urging an immediate repeal of the Sherman silver law. ad May, the captured member of the Breckenridge gang of robbers,is said to be connected with a prominent Texas family. He has made a con- fession. Weare very grateful to our esteem- ed contemporaries for the kind ex- pression given our induct into office. Especially is this true of Col. Wade who has shown a generous and chiv- alrous spirit in the matter. ESSE ~The Madison car company has made an assignment. The liabilities are $918,483, and the assests $1,- 122,027. The lightness of the mon- ey market is the cause of the assign- ment. The works will not shut down. Conductor Glazier, on a Santa Fe train in the Cherokee Strip, knocked down and disarmed a would be train robber who had held him up with a Winchester and started for the en- gine with him. The striking coal miners at Pitts- burg, Kansas, have about given up the fight and hundreds have gone to other states to find employment. The walking delegate is to blame for the trouble. Many of the miners are in bad shape for money and pro- visions and aid is being asked. The farmers in western Kansas are reported to be in bad shape, owing to a total failure of the crops this year. The continued dry weath- er and hot winds have parched the growing crops, and there will be nothing raised in at least twenty- seven counties. Already the farmers of the drouth district are asking aid an extra session of Down goes the tariff after August 7th The silver and anti-silver men will| PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CALLS Colorado Mine-Owners Take Unit meet August 7th. then the fur will | fly.

Whitelaw Reid and Col. Whitelaw Reid thinks he was handicapped by Gen. Harri son. Under these circumstances we cannot expect to see the old ticket renomineted in ‘96. It is claimed the Sherman law is responsible for the present condition of affairs acd nothing short of its repeal will restore confidence and ease the financial condition of the country. Yet the republican papers tell us Mr. Sherman is the greatest financier of the age. As a result of a 10 minutes’ session which representative silver mine and smelter owners of Colorado were present, all silver mines and smelters in that state have been ordered shut down, owing to the low price of sil- ver. Operations have also been sus- pended in Montana, Washington and Idaho. Crop reports in the Dakotas Northern Minnesota are very dis couraging to the farmer. Hot, dry winds have parched the ground and ripening grain is wilting.

Talking disrespectfully of Grover is cause for removal from office. Says a Washington dispatch: “The charges upon which Norman Per- kins, superintendent of the tenth di- vision of the railway mail service, was removed by Postmaster Gener- al Bissell were made known to-day. The principal and most serious charge is that Perkins had been heard to call President Cleveland a “fat old stiff.’—Quincy Whig. It required less than that fora democrat to get fired under the Har- rison administration. A slight refer- ence to grand pa’s hat was sufficient. William P. Beauchamp, of St. Louis, committed suicide at the Tre- mont house, Kansas City, Thursday night, by shooting himself through the head. From letter and docu- ments found in his possession it was ascertained that he at one time re- sided at Portland Mills, Ind. and during Cleveland’s first administra tion represented this country as consul to Switzerland, his commis- sion being issued March 23, 1885, and was signed by the then secreta- ry of state Thomas F. Bayard. He was about 40 years old, weighed 250 pounds and was a fine appearing man. A telegram from Oklahoma City, Ok., to the Kansas City Times stated that the deceased kept a sa- loon in that town, and left that place May Ist, to visit hishome in Indiana, and intended to return in July. Mr. Ingalls does not subscribe to the partisan theory that the prevail- ing financial disturbance is due to the accession of the democrats to power. He calls attention to the fact that President Cleveland and his cabinet are running the finances of the country under laws passed by the republicans, and that to shift the responsibility without a single! act of legislation by the democratic congress is absurd. This sensible admission proves that is much easier AUGUST 7 THE DATE. | AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. | | \ i Itis Brief But Folly Sets Forth the H Needs of the Hour. | | Washington, D. C. June 30.—At 6 jo'clock this evening the following proclamation was issued: | Executive Mansion, Washingtor, D. C., June 30, 1893.— Whereas, the distrust and apprehension corcern- ing the financial situation which per- vade all business circles have already caused great loss and damage to our people and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of man ufacture, bring distress and _priva- tion to our farmers and withhold from our workingmen the wage of labor; and, Whereas, The present perilous condition is largely the result of 8 financial policy which the execu- tive branch of the government finds embodied in unwise laws which must be excuted until repealed by Con- gress: Now, therefore, I, Grover Clveland, President of the United States, in per formance of a constitutional power do, by this proclamation, declare that an extraordinary occassion re- quires the convening of both houses of the Congress of the United States at the capitol in this city of Wash ington, on the seventh day of August next, at 12 o’clock, noon, to the end that ihe people may be relieved, throu zh legislation, from present and aud impending danger and distress. Ali those entitled to act as mem. bers .f the Fifty third Congress are required to take notice of this proc- lamation and attend at the time and place above stated. Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the city of Washington, on the thirtieth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety three, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth Grover CLEVELAND. The president left at 4:20 this af- ternoon over the Pennsylvania rail road for Buzzard’s Bay, Mass. He will be absent from the capital three weeks or more, his stay depending upon circumstances. Secretary La- mont accompanied the president as far as New York. The president's determinatioz to leave the city was only reached this morning and his departure so suddenly leaves a num ber of important appointments agreed upon unsigned and many senators and congressmen, who have recently arrived, in the lurch. It is understood that the president will transact only the most urgent public business while at Buzzard’s Bay and what official announcements are to be made will be given out at the executive mansion at Washington. The president had left directions for the issuance of the proclamation before his departure for Gray Ga- bles. The determination to call the extra session the first week in Au- gust instead of September it is un- derstood, was only definitely arrived at at this morning’s cabinet session, after giving full weight to the nu- merous telegrams received from all parts of the country urging this course. Consideration which caused the president to change his mind was foreshadowed in the remark made by one of his cabinet officers two days ago, that if the president received reasonable assurances that there was a likelihood of a prompt repeal of the so called Sherman law he might be disposed to call con- gress together earlier than he had announced. It is inferred from the fact that the president has done so that he considers he has obtained the assur- ances he desired. Most of the cabinet have followed the president’s example and left the city, or are leaving the city, for brief vacations. Those who remain say the president s proclamation speaks for itself and decline to discuss the jsituation further.

June 29.—There is considerable excitement in Cour d Alene country oyer the silver ques- tion. Several of the largest mines have shut down within the last few days aud others threaten to. A few days ago miners in the Gem and Frisco mines threatened to The mines can } | DENNEN -WHGELER MERC C1 Light Running Milwaukee Binder, _Champion and | | Machi | | | | ALL KINDS OF MACHINE OILS. strike for an increase of 50 cents per day andthe troubles of a year ago were feared. At the same time sil- ver dropped and the mines were closed. Workmen in the Last Chauce have now agreed on a graded scale of wages, taking part pay in per cent of profits and the mine has been reopened. Unless there is an advance in sil- ver or lead in a short time every mine in the Cwvr d’Aleno county is likely to close. This will stop the daily output of about 17,060 ounces of silver and 350 tons of lead. Mine owners generally want the Sherman law repealed at once and a majority favor free coinage as an experiment. Cour d'Alene mining men report that smelters all over the country have resolved to purchase no more silver ores, owing to the low price of silver. A. L. Campbell of that mining district thks that all but about half a dozen at the most of all the silver-lead mines in the country will shut down within the next ten days unlessaradical change occurs. The Wood river silver mine own- ers of Idaho, with few exceptions, will suspend operations, owing to the fall in silver. The End is Near. San Francisco, Cal, June 28 -— Relative to the political situation in Hawaii, Charles Northrupp, corres- pondent of the new York Herald, who arrived from there this morn ing said: “Already the adberents of the prce visional government are beginning to fall away from it, and the end is near. There is only one thing that can save the island, and that is the return of Lilioukalani to the throne. In the future I gesss she will behave herself.” ff KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly .

A PLUCKY CONDUCTOR. He Knocks Down and Disarms a Youthful Train Robber in Indian Ty. Wichita, Kan., June 29.—The San- ta Fe train from Galveston that ar- rived here at 9 o'clock to-night was stopped by Emanuel Herrick, a youth of 16 years, at a station called Blackberry, a few miles below Whar- ton in the Indian Territory. Her- rick got on the train at Norman, and, going into the closet, strapped on a pair of pistols, and armed with a Winchester snd sword, walked out into the aisle of the car and com- mander Conductor Glazier to stop the train, and backed him off the car with his hands up. As Glazier was on the car steps he grabbed the | P" would be robbers gun and wrenched itfrom him. Herrick then drew a revolver, but the conductor also got it. The former then fled. Glazier chased the would be robber across the prairie and knocked him down and took the other guu away from him, put him on the train and turned | him over to a United States Mar-| shal at Arkansas City. He was brought here and placed in jail. Superintendent Hartman’s special was on the train and he assisted in | catching Herrick. The young rob- ber said he had a number of accom- plices, but that they were mistaken | in the date and did not meet him as they agreed to. The officials think he was alone and is only a green country boy, whose head was turned | ¥ novel reading, but he successfully stopped the train, and, but for the} plucky conductor might have robbed | the passengers. | Big Wad of Pension Money. | Washinton, D. C., June 30.—As- | sistant Secretary Sims to day signed warrants for the payment of $16,- | 000,000 in pensions. This sum is an advance to the distributing agents | on accoust of the first quarter of the | next fiscal year, and to be distribut- ' ed among all the agencies. | Militia Needed. j Macon, Mo., June 29.—The strike at the Kansas and Texas Coal com-' pany’s mines at Admore, has already | developed into a serious affair. Agi- | tators and leaders of the strke prac- | tically have charge of the mines and | will permit no non union men to go | to work or even enter the shafts. | They will not let the surface men do | any thing, and will not let the com | pany send any one into the mines to , pump out the water.

New York, June 23 —Last week the Associated Press cable dispatch- es told of a fodder famine in France and the statement came that foreign fooder would tind a quick high mar- ket if delivered soon. Today a chartered vessel lies in the East riv- er taking ona full cargo of 1,980 bales of hay to be shipped to France. Heart Failure. How oe cee IT. The epitaph on many a tombstone is “heart failure.” No wonder, when we con- sider the immense strain which is put on that smallorgan. Marvelous as it is, beating 100,000 times and exerting a force equal to 5,184,000 pounds daily, it has its limit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So common are diseases of the heart—though often for a considerable time without the suspicions of the afflicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that one erson tn four has a bad heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., has for years made a special study of all diseases of the heart, and his remarkable success has made his name a familiar one in all parts of our land. He has found the most common symptoms of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender- ness in the chest, ae shoulder and arm, shortness of breath, smother- ing spells, fainting, etc. Mr. George R. Smith, of Barnes, Yates Co. N. Y., writes: —‘ Dr, Mites’ New Heart Cure has worked wonderfully on mind and body 30 I can do a good day’s work. d feel ten years younger and take more interest in affairs. 1 had shortness of breath, palpi- tation, pain under left shoulder blade, pain around the heart, 1 could not sleep on my right side, Since I have taken Dr. Miles’ ‘New Heart Cure I steep well, and have no palpita- tion.

I wish you would print this, because I want all to know what Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure has done for me.” “For months my wife suffered with palpi- | tation, smothering spells, and was unable to sleep on her left side.
