TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weexry Times, published eyery| Thursday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.00, The state treasury of Ohio has a deficit of $2,000,000, and McKinley is governor of the state and wants to be president. Mr. and Mrs. Percival, who have been spending several months in the east visiting relatives and friends, have returned home. ——— W. K. Vanderbilt, has just pur- chased of Milton Young, the Ken- tucky breeder, his great thorough bred stallion, Hanover. The price paid was $60,000. Who said the horse is passing away? San Francisco is to have a build- ing 310 feet high on a lot 70 by 75 feet, and New York a steel building fifteen stories high on a site only 50 by 70 feet. These are practically towers and should be architecturally classed as such.—Globe Democrat. It is stated that American tourists have spent from forty to fifty mil- lions of dollars in Europe this year. Of course this vast sum of money was in gold, and it is asserted that this accounts to a large degree for the drain on the U.S. treasury. Ses Ex Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, de- nies the published interview where- by he is made to state that he favor- ed the nomination of W. C. Whit- ney for the democratic nomination for president. Mr. Crisp says he made no such statement either in favor of Mr. Whitney or anyone else. D. C. Bradley, day passenger director at the union depot, Kansas City, has fallen heir to a fortune. He is one of the heirs to an estate in North Carolina, valued at $2,500,- 000. His interest will amount to $100,000. The estate has been in litigation for a number of years. James ©. Broadhead, of St. Louis, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Repub- lic and Missouri’s only representa- tiye in the rank of first-class diplo- mats, has resigned his post and will return home. Mr. Broadhead was appointed to this place, with $5,000 a year, April 4 1893. The notorious Taylor brothers, failing in their attempt last week to bribe the jailor and free themselves, now declare that the affair was a concocted scheme to injure their case before the supreme court. They must be a depraved brace of mur- derers, for standing as they do in the very shadow of the gallows they cannot refrain from lying. At the special election held at Springfield last week to elect a sher- iff, the republicans were completely routed and Marion Donnell the dem- ocratic candidate came under the wire with 629 majority. Friend Carroll's populist candidate, that the Commoner made so much fuss over, wasn't inthe race a little bit. A dirty, persona! and vulgar fight was made on Mr. Donnell by the repub- lican press, and the result gives the lie to their misrepresentations of his character. —_—— WILL NEVER DIE. The Ties insists upon all mooted questions, as to forming party plat- forms and policies, being settled within party councils. Every demo. erat has aright to advocate his in- dividual views before the convention. After that he should bow to the will of the majority and abide it’s deci- sion. He is an unsafe leader who is continually predicting great evils will befall the party unless it adopts his views on all public questions. The democratic party is founded upon! principles that will never die. It is the poor man’s party; the patriot’s party. It withstood the prejudices engendered by a civil war. It has been beset by every evil and ism known to political crankdom. It's principles are immortal and will live forever. It will weather the financial storm as it has all others. new thing for over-zealous advocates of a cause io predict it’s uttér anni-| hilation.

The speaker was overcome | with emotion, and left the front of the stage. Men rose in their seats and cheered by turns, hugged each | other and threw hats, fans and / handkerchiefs into the air. | Mrs. John A. Logan was seated a short distance back of the commsnd_- | er in chief's stand, and as Mr. Wat terson walked away with tears coursing down his cheeks, Gen. Lawler: presented him to Mrs. Lo-/ gan. Neither could speak, and th white-haired, motherly looking lad took his hand in both of hers, and | when she found her voice said: “I | am glad I have been permitted to) live to hear yous speech.” That was all she could say, and she eat down and wept. Mr. Watterson and Past Com- KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to eat enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with lexs expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the eel of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative ; effectually cleansing the system, ciepeling, colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly tree from every objec able substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug- gists in 5%c and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville | Journal,.” At the mention of Mr. Watter- / son's name there was an outburst of applause, and when it bad died away Mr. Watterson stepped to the plat. | form and spoke as follows: MR.
