The dispatches say the destitution among the miners of Nelsonville, Ohio, is yery great, that 1,260 per- sons, the entire mining population of the town, bave absolutely nothing to eat and 100 of these are sick. Lo-| cal charity has helped them until its eneans are exhausted and if help does not come soon the consequences will be appalling. — Bryan has traveled a good deal since the election, but be has yet to | Topeka, Kan., Aug. 31 —Ex-Rep-| |resentative David Hanna of Graham | county has returned from a visit to} | Ohio, during which he met ex-Chair | | | man Conger of the Obio Republican | | State committee, and J.

Foraker, | 4 with whom he talked as old friends | jabout the Hanna campaign. “Young man,” said Conger. in the | presence of Senator Fc raker, ‘When | | you go back to Kansas you can give! |a tip to your friends not to bet any! | money on the re election of Hanna. | |He will be dgfeated without a! | doubt.” | | Mr. Hanna of Graham county. re | | peated this conversation to a friend | | who served with him in the Legisla | |ture of 1895, and that friend repeat-| jed what he said to a Times corre | spondent to night. Atlanta, Ga; Aug. 28.—It is ru-! mored that Thomas E Watson. late Populist candidate for Vice Presi dent, will soon sell his paper to a Western politician and forever mene) from politics. Mr. Watson is lei to! this determination, it is said, by the belief that the populists of the West will combine with the frae silyer strike a stateor county where he ig not popular or where the people will not flock miles to see and hear kim talk. Free silver and Bryan have the etaying qualities and in 1900 the republicans who now claim that both Bryan and silver is dead will wake up to finda mighty live corpse in the field. L B. Bryan, state secretary of the Milinois Miners’ Union, and three other labor agitators, arrived at Pan- ama, the coal fields in the northern part of Vernon county, Friday, says the Nevada Post, anda meeting of the miners was called for Saturday evening at Muddy. The meeting wae not called for the purpose of getting the miners to strike, but to bring such pressure upon the oper- ators as will insure no coal being shipped to the strike section east democrate, aud that the Southern wing of the party will not be able to standfalone. | He has mate thousands of dollars recently in bis law practice, and wishes to divide his time between that aud his literary efforts, friends claim. He is said to expect to con clude the negotiations now under way. His action comes as a than derbolt to these mcst intimate w:th him, as just a few daysago he had declared his intention of stumping the State in the fall elections. No Change in the Wheat Market. New York, Aug. 31.—Dealings in wheat to day were confined within a cent range. The market hada fairly steady tone, but no speculative feat- ure. Continental houses sold and showed cables not in sympathy with the steadiness here. English mar- kets were firmer but quiet. Enor- mous seaboard wheat and flour clear- ances more than offset the enlarged spring and winter wheat at interior points. The Post-Dispatch is dictating to Governor Stephens the appointment of Election Commiesioner for St Louis. For a paper with no better standing with the democratic party of this state, the Post Dispatch is vertainly very presumptuous. The Governor ia making bis appoint ments will certainly pay little atten- tion to the wishes or dictates of the Post Dispatch under its present ‘management. With the same pro- ipriety the Globe Democrat might make its demands. Either Thos. J. Smith, J.S. Fran. ciaco or W. W. Graves would make an excellent circuit judge. All of these gentlemen held adverse Gnancial views to the majority of Democrats, as expressed in the Chi- cago platform, but all of them bow- ed tothe party will and supported the entire ticket loyally. It is an infamous slander to say that the opinions and rulings of either of these gentlemen would be biased by former opitiions on party policy or expediency. a Now that grain and farm products are going up, owing to a scarcity in foreiga lands, our farmers would Soon prosper were it not for the drawback caused by the Divgley tariff that enbancea ihe prica of nearly everything the farmer buys. To make matters worse this increase in price goes inte the pockets of the trust and combines and not into the wevenue. As usual in such cases the man who works for a dollar a day will have more than his share of the burden to bear.—Holden Enter prige. Inthe live bird shoot at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Sunday, J. A. R Elliott, of Kansas City, captured the Dupont silver trophy and the cham- Plonship for live pigeon shooting from C. W. Buddof Des Moines. The score stood, Elliott, 99 birde, Budd 24. Not only did Mr Elliot, make the extraordinary score of 99 out of @ possible 100, but what is more worthy of note, he did it with a sin- gle barrel, a “pump” gun. In do. ing this he has established a world’s| record for shooting live pigeons with & gun of that description. In vious contests where such guns) have been uses low scores have bsen the rule, but Mr. Elliott started out! to show the sporting world that rap | rdand accurate shooting i cen be done with a magazine gun, and he! has accomplished hig purpose.

Aug. 31 —The Dem:!} city today and nominated Walter E. | Ritter of Lycoming county for au-| ditor general and M. E. Brown of | Blairsville, for State Treasurer. The matter of the ee'ection of cax- didates was entirely overshadowed | though, by the fizht to force ths re- tirement of Wilham H. Harrity from the national committee. The oppon: | ents of Mr. Harrity passed a resolu tion indorsing James M. Guffey for his position. Mr. Harrity’s friends contend that the State convention has no power to declare his seat in the nat onal committe3 vacant, and! that be will not surrender without a fight When tbe convention met in the Academy of Music: a conspicuous | feature of the decorations was a banner adorved with a portrait of William J. Bryan and bearing the inscrip'iov, “Liberty, Justice, Hu- manity, Equal Rights to All, Special | Privileges to None.” There were 435 delegates Congressman Ermentront, tem-| porary chairman, received a round of apjlause when be received the gavel from Mr. Garman.

Local demand was stimulat- ed by dry weather, stronger cables and lighter receipts than expected. December sold from 374 to 37% cents closing at 374, which was } cant higher than Jast night. Sentiment locally continues bullish on corn. To School Eirectors and Patrons. Ricu Hm, Mo., Aug. 30, °97. In view of the fact that there has been recent legislation effecting the school books I desire to call your attention to sections of the law quot- ed below: Sec 11. From and after the first day of September, 1897, and until otherwise provided for by law, no text books except those contracted for by said commission shall ba scld for uee in the public schools of Mis- souri; and from and after the first day of September, 1898, and until otherwise provided by law. no text books except those contracted for by said commission, shall b3 used or taught in any public school in this state. Srec.12 Any school di:estor or board of school directors of any school district within this state, who shall sanction or permit any other text book or books in the same branches and of the same grade as those hereinbefore provided for to be used in any public school of such district after the date hereinbe- fore specified in section 11 ehall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than five or more than twenty-five dollars for each of. fense. The law further stipulates that in order to get the benefit of the ex- change price the exchange must be made within six months, beginning Sept. Ist. "97. Itisa serious mis- take not to exchange books within the time specified by law. The neg lect to do so means the total loss to the people of Bates county of th entire exchange price which would amount to at least $25.000. My ad- vice to you would be to change books just as scon as itis possible {o do 80 Some people very unjustly hold! I desire to say that they/ are in no way ccnveciel with | the exchange and sre not re | sponsible for it If a Wrong has/| been perpetrated it bas been done | by the legislature of the state I am reliably informed by the book companies and book dealers that the books will be ready for use the first outcome stamped Mr. Elliott as the| week in September. Resp’y., areatest wingshot of the country. | Agtsce Bonroy, | School Com. of Bates, Co. cheered the name of their leader. James Kerr of Clearfield, cba‘r | man of the resolutions committee, read the platform adopted by that committee. The money plank is as follows: “We, the Demcc:ats of Pennsyl- vania, in ‘convention assembled, heartily reaffirm and reiterate the principles of the Democratic party expressed in the platform adopted | by the national convention at Chi- cago in 1896, and approved by 6,- 500,000 free and independent voters We are firmly and unalterably op- posed to the single rold standard, | which has been the direct cause of the financial distress that bas follow- ed upon our people since its adop- tion, and we are in favor of a com-| plete and immediate retura to our | original specie basis as it existed | prior to the demonetization act of | 1893. We congratulate William J. | Bryan, the glorious champion of a} righteous cause, for his masterly | leadership in support of these pria i ciples.” \ Charles P. Donnelly of Philadel. | | phia presented a minority report, ) — striking out the plank of the pla‘-! form commending tha recommenda. | tion of James M. Guffey as national | committeeman in place of William | F. Harrity. He pleaded with the/| delegates to cgnfine their work to! State issues and not attempt to cre- | ate a factional division by offering | an insult to Mr. Harrity. L. McQuestion of Butler ccuaty | defevded the plank. He said the} trae Democracy of the State should not retain in a position of honora man who had not been true to Dem- ocratic principles or m accord with the candidates and platform. The roll was then called on the motion of Mr. Donnelly to strike the Guffey plank from the platform. The result of the vote sustained the majority report by 290 to 134. Ab sent or not voting. 11. The Phila- delphia delegaticn stood 41 to 23in favor of Mr. Harrity. THE GREAT MISSOURI HEN. Worth Fourteen Million Doilars a Year to | Farmers’ Wives. Columbia, Mo., Aug. 30.—Secre- | tary J. R Rippey of the State Board | of Agriculiure, in commenting upon | returns from Kansas showing a/ poultry product of 1896 of $3,909,- | 000, said: | “It is difficult to make a compar-j ison of Missouri to Kaneas. In! Kansas the statute provides for ecl | lecting this and other agricultural | statistics by the Assessors directly | from the producers, and their report | includes all sales made, whether consumed in the county or State, or shipped from it. Unfortunately, ocratic State convention met in this | | panies Missouri had no such provision for col'ecting agricultural data, and its reports only include the shipments made by transportation companies, and not the poultry sold and con- sumed in the interior towns and cities. “Using only round numbers, Mis- | souri sold and shipped in 1896, 43,- | 040,600 pounds of poultry, valued at an average of 6 cents per pound, amounting to $2,882,400; 33,426,000 dozens of eggs, at an average for the season of 10 cents per dozen, amounting to $4,011,120, and 416,- 000 pounds of feathers, at 30 cents per pound, amounting to $124,800, or a totel poultry output, not in- cluding consumption of the farms or interior towns and cities. of $7.- 108,320 Of the counties, Henry leads with a total shipment valued at the above prices, not including | feathers, of $401,160, followed by Greece with $390,420, and Noda- way with $255,540 “It is estimated by poultry deal- ers intimately acquainted with the business that more than 50 per cent of Missouri’s poultry product is con- sumed ino the State, and not handled or reported by transportation com- If this is correct, and the estimate is thought to be conserva- tive, Missouri has a grand total of $14,000,000 gathered into the bank accounts of the Missouri farmers and pouity producers, almost with- out cost, evincing the fact that the Missouri bev, as managed by the Missouri farmer’s wife, is the most industricua and valuab’e fowl on earth “The large poultry production of this State may be accounted for by the fact that, according to the United States census of 1890, Missouri had ‘more barnyerd fowls than any other | State, and that its poultry associa- tions and progressive breeders have encouraged the production of a very superior fowl.” Tacoma, Wasb., August 30 —The steamer Columbia arrived yesterday afternoon from Yokohama bringing news of severe earthquake shccks felt in Japan and China, August 5, followed by a tidel wave that has | caused evormous damage and great: loss of life. Dispatches to leading Japanese papers detail losses which iucluds 200 persons drowned or seriously injured, 5,000 buildings in Japan washed away or completely inundated; rcores of boats and junks upset and weshing out of mavy im poriant bridges. The loss caused by damages to crops, railroads end roads can not be estimated. Disease is always waiting to pounce on weak people. When your appetite is poor and you are losing / weight you are a ready prey to any disease that comes along. Lung complaint, liver com- plaint, and a hundred other diseases carry people off be- cause they are not armed with a strong constitution to resist the disease. .
