~ QHIO’S SILVER EVENT. Democrats Arrange a Record- Breaking Open Air Meeting. Demonstration—Will be the Crowning =| Event of the Great Campaign. | Springfield, O, August 26—The | «cowning event of the eilver cam- geignin Ohio this year will be a| ~soaster camp meeting in this city | rom September 19 to 26. It is to} coe more of an inter-state rally than anything else. It was the original intention to hold this meeting ia «Columbus, on the State fair grounds. '‘Dif€culties were encountered which made this impoesible, however, and t was at once decided to have it chore. The Clark county fair grounds, ~wwhich wil] be occupied, are the most «extensive in the state, excepting the State grounds at Columbus, and are admirably adapted for a gathering «af this character. They are pleas- samtly situated and afford unrivaled fecilities for a successful camp meet Ang. Camp meetings devoted to ex- qploiting political principles are a saovelty and there 18 great interest vin the success of this one. It is the qplan to fit up the fair grounds for the accommodation of a tremendous «evewd. Tents will be provided iu ‘which meals will ba served and Yedgings furnished. The city will | the Uni ed States | of the enterprise end the possibth tage in advertismg the meeting. Arrangemenis already have been made by which excursions will be! run from Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky poiste, as well as from | | States further west. i | Ths correspondeace at local | |headquarters of the Bimetuallic political gathering in the history of The megnitude ties which it presents are not gener- ally recognized, especially by the people of Springfield. This may} cause difficulties, especially when it comes to properly accommodating visitors, however, the city isexpect- ed to proveequal to whatever de- mands may be made upon it. The experiment of adopting the campmeeting idea to pclitical uses is one which preserts unlimited pos sibilities. Itis suggested that the development cf this idea may entire ly revolutionize the present order of things in the present campaign. Instead of ecattering speakers over an entire state and making appoint- ments for them from neighborhood to neighborhood, the ablest orators will go together from place to place and at campmeetings of from three to ten days’ duration they may cover more ground than they would other- wise do in three times the number of days. Local committees will send out a general snaouncement urging all persons who iatend to be present to make immediate atrangements for their accommodations while here. JUDGE SHIRK’S WIFE SUES. be thoroughly canvassed aud every house which can accommodate guests will be noted. Local hotel aaccommosations are somewhat re- stricted and are already about ex- fhausted. It is thought that the &oarding houses, the private fami dies which will entertain yisitors and ‘the tent accommodations will be suf- ‘&cient to provide for as large crowds «ag may attend. There is some doubt «aout this, however, and in conse- «quence many delegations, especially those from surrounding counties, are arranging to make the trip over- dand in wagon trains, bringing facil iaties for their own accommodation. “Ths list of speakers provided is wattraclive. ‘Lhe star, of course, will eo William Jennings Bryan, if his spresence can be secured. Every ef- fort will be made to have the late Presidential candidate here, and the gpromoters of the enterprise express «their confidence in being able to se «curse him.

The heavy fruit packing season is said to be respon- sible for the big demand for sugar products. “T look for an advance,” said Wm A. Havemeyer, Western agent of the sugar compapy. “The price of sugar is now 5 cents per pound.

In regard to duty, let me, in coa- clusion of this hasty letter, inform you that nearly a hundred years ago there was a day of remarkable gloom and darkoess—still knownas ‘the dark day”—a day when the light of the eun was slowly extingu'shed as if by an eclipse. The legisleture of Connecticut was in session, and as its members saw the unexpected and unaccountable darknees coming on, they shared in the general awe and terror It was supposed by cuany that the last day—ths day of judgement had come. Some one, in the consternation of the hour, mov ed ao adjournment. ‘Then there aros9 an old Puritan legiatator, Deveuport, of Stamford, and said, that if the last day had come, he de- sired to be found at his place doing his duty and, therefore, moved that candles be brought in, so that the house could proceed with its duty. There was quietness ia that man’s mind, the quietness of heavenly wis dom and inflexible willingness to obey present duty. the sublimest word ia cur language.

St. Joseph, Mo., August 20 —The inspection of the county loans de- manded by the last grand jury has been made by the county judges, and shows that about $160,000 has been loaned from the school funds during the past tea years on almost worthless security. The borrowers have all been notified that they must eomply with the law by giving addi- | tional security on their notes. Many cf the loans were made on! real estate that is not worth one- half the amount of theloan. It was virtually a sale to the county at twice or three times the value of the property, but the county has taken possession of only a small portion. A great deal of it will be sold within the next six months at a heavy loss. The county court has found that former courts allowed borrowers from ths school funds to become security for eaca other. Bernard Patton borrowed $10,000 from the fund, and became security for about $20,000 loaned to his friends. He is solvent, but the court will require the borrowers for whom he is secur- ity to give additional bondsmen. Daniel T. Lysaght is security for about $11,000 loaned to his friends and other members of the family, who are not solvent, are sacurity for even larger cums. When the records were cverhaul- ed it was found that many of the sureties were dead, and in some in- stances the borrowers themselves had been dead a number of years. It is believed that the county will lose about two-thirds of the amount loaned from the echocl fund. He Was Once « Tramp. Chicago, Til, Aug. 25.—Dr. Wm. H.
