It not only injures the populist party in Ohio, but that party all over the country will have to bear the odium. If it was not for the foreign de mand the present enormous wheat crop would not be selling for more than 40c per bushel. Europe is at the other’end of the telegraph wire and John Bull is furnishing quota- tions for the guidance of the epecu- lator ia this country. pene md In investigating the matter a New York paper makes the statement that there is on the pension rolls at the present time a quarter million more names than there were soldiers engaged ia the conflict. The fact that widows and children of veter- ans are drawing pensions might account for the matter. The Democrats of Virginia talk sense. After nominating J. Hodge Tailor for governor, the Chicago platform is re-affirmed, the conven- tion then especially endorsed a tariff for revenue only, an income tax, means of restraining trusts and the free and unlimined coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 That's a platform with the right jin- gle. The nomination of “Gen.” Jacob S. Coxey for governor of Ohio, by the middle-of the-road populists, is a pretty clear indication that the Populist party of Ohio is going out of business. In the convention which nomivated “General” Coxey, several of the leaders of the party on the floor made the bold assertion and offered to furnieh the proof that a number of the leading middle-of- the road delegates had been bought with Republican money ard were there in the interests of the Repub-| lican party. —_ It is reported that James ©.

Caught by Biood Hounds. Joplin, Mo., Aug. 12 —An exciting chase aud capture of a thief with blcol bounds ozcurrad near Red- ding’s Mill Jast night." For some time farmers in that vicinity have been annoyed by petty thieves steal ing corn, fruit, chickens, ete. Spring City Protective association was called upon for assistance, and its four blood houads were taken to John Burgess’ field, from which a lot of cora had just been stolen. The dogs took up the trail,and after a hot chase through the woods, treed the thisf. He kad been forced to drop the sack of corn and burri- edly climb a tree to escape the fero cious dogs. He was kept there until the pursuers wera attracted to the spot by the barking of the dogs. The man refused to give his name. He isa stranger in the community, and is now in jail awaiting trial. This was the first triel of the new blood hounds and was a complete succes3. We havea gentleman residing in this county, some six or seven miles west of Butler, Mr. Sam Weddle, who caught the gold fever in ’49, visited California, and who, in his rounds met and formed tbe acquain- tance of the famous and talented poet from Pike. Mr. Weddle says Joe Bowers was a sure enovgh mov- ing, breathing, living creature, and many were the times he had seen him mount a goods box intke streets of the mining town camps and, for adrink of bourbon, entertain the crowds that would surround him with the song that has made his name famous, a nation of people laugh, a legis'ature to take action, and lastly the appointment of & committee by the governor to erect by private subscriptiona gran ite monument at the capital of bis native state to perpetuate bis name. So it is gratifying to know the mon- ument will not be erected to a myth The extract below is taken from the Kaneas City Star: “The following from the Linn Creek Democrat is the most concise rendering of the story about Joe Bowers yet presented to the millions who have heard of the man who came “all the way from Pike.” Jce Bowers was native of Pike and went from there.

On reaching the botel Mr. Bry an responded to the calls of ihe peo ple and madea brief address He referred to the fact that this day was the anniversary of tha notific.- tion and speech of acceptances at Madison Square Garden, New York. “I hadn't thought,” he said, ‘of celebrating the occasion in this lace, but I am forcibly reminded of the material difference between the twocities. I said on going to New York that I was going to the ene my's country. It would take an imagination of biz dimensions to declare that I was in the enemy's country on this occasion. I am pleased to meet my friende, and es pecially to mest the people who were so universally on our side during the last campaign ” Later in the day Mr. Bryan went to Walkerville, a suburb of Butte, where a monster demonstration took plece. To day he spoke at the rece treck. The track bad been rn- der the ban of labor unions because of a difference with the carpenters. Mr. Bryan declined to speak there until the boycott was declared off for this occasion. Mrs. Bryan, who is guest of Mrs Charles W.

Men, nowadays, do not or- dinarily have to wrestle with lions.
