Times is right and to the point: “Now that the discussion has been started as to where the next Democratic State convention will be beld, the State committee should take up its mind at the very start that it will not be held any place where the delegates will have to walk tho streets all night. It is go ing to be a hot eld convention, and it should be beld some place where the comforts of civilization can be obtained.” ent A large number of one people went up to Harrisonville last Satur day and heard the great Silver Apostle W. J Bryan, who spoke at the fair ground to an audience esti mated at 16,000. He spoke from a huge stump, prepared for the occa sion, as he said too many plavk platforms were breaking down with him A large number of people carried away splinters and bark from the stump as mementoes. He wns introduced to the audience by Congressman Cowherd, of Kansas City. He made a telling speech. as he always does and his reference to McKinley's $100,000 bimetallic com- mission was heartily applauded. He was in good voice and easily beard by the large crowd. —_—S,——!_ A young negro roustabout shot and killed a prominent young farmer living at Ellisville, a euburb of St. Louis, on Sunday moraiog, on the Clayton road.

Ia the death of Charles Anderson Dana, the famous editor of the New York Sun, the echool of great editors of which he was one of the founders and for which he stood a prominent type, became ext net He was a confrere of Greeley, Childe, the elder Bennett aud McCullagh, and his personality etood out clear and distinct through the pages of the Sun at all times. He was a theorist, an altruist, an “advanced thinker” The scope of his attainments were almost boundless. his knowledge and learoig marvelous. Of all the great literary tights and noted Amer- icans which in his day were his as- sociates, none overshadowed him He was the life, the heart. the ex- istence of the Sun and one could not read it’s editorials without f-el ng they were in direct contact witb this great man. He defined a “real newspaper man” as one who “slep) on newspaper aud drank ink ” Considering the vast amount of work he did on bis paper it is hardly conceivable how he found time to devote to keeping up with his other literary works, aud keeping abreast with all advancements in the arts and sciences, which he did. A newepaper writer recently wrote of Mr. Dana’s then approaching end: “The German philosopher who did happy because he felt that he had completed the cycle of his experience had not seen so much variety and depth of human lifeas he.

As weil wight the ex-governor say that the tardff question, which has been ltefore the eame court for years, has teen settled In this case the wish is clearly father to the thought. Governor Boies has never been 2 true and sincere advocate of bimetallism as laid down in the dem ocratic platform.

MvsKoGeE, L. T., Oct. 20.—The treaty between the Dawes and Creek commis- sions, which was concluded at this place last month, was rejected by the Creek council in session at Okmulgee, Monday evening. The vote in the house of warriors, which is the lower house of the Creek council, was unan- imously against the treaty and only eight members of the house of kings voted in favorofit. Chief Isparhecher is elated over his victory over the hal breed and non-citizen element, and is proud of the fact that he has won his people over to his way of thinking. He has never been in favor of allot- ment and the abolition of tribal gov- ernment, and has opposed the treaty since it was agreed to by the two com- missions. He is not in favor of using force to prevent the United States from allotting the Creek lands and abolishing their tribal government. as has been reported, but he has asked the council to make an appropriation toemploy able attorneys to take ad- vantage of every legal remedy to prevent the United States from violating its treaties with the Creek nation. The principal ob- jection to the treaty is that it does not give the Creeks their pro rata share of all the lands of the Creek na- tion. and leaves too much room for money sharks and speculators. The treaty which has just been rejected was one of five which it is the duty of the Dawes commission to negotiate. Treaties were arranged with the Creeks, the Chickasaws and the Choe- taws. None but the Creek treaty has yet come up for ratification. and re- jection will nodoubt have powerful influence against the ratification of the Chickasaw and Choctaw treaties, and against the suecess of the coming negotiations of the Dawes commission with the Cherokees and Seminoles. It is not improbatle that it means the failure of the present scheme for the abolishment of tribal government and the allotment of lands in severalty.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Oct. 20.—Ray- mond Allen, a lad of 12, found a stick of dynamite in a rock quarry near town, and, not knowing the nature of the deadly explosive, put it in his pocket and carried it to school. As he took his seat the pocket struck the corner of his desk and the explosion that followed created a panic among the other children. Young Allen had his hand ia the pocket at the time. Two of fingers were blown off and the flesh was stripped from his hand. In the right groin a terrible wound was made that the doctor says will probably prove fatal. The teacher, Miss Mack, had her dress and apron torn to shreds, but she escaped serious -. In the panic that followed the osion several of the children sus- ained serious injuries in a wild scram- ch the openair. Theinjured y is a son of A. D.

J.C. CLARK, 49-40 Tras The harmony of a woman's life depends upon the perfect ac- cordance of her mental with her physical being. All the emotions of love and marriage and these intricate functions are dis- turbed by weak- ness and disease her whole nature is out of tune. More women’s lives are made discordant and full of suffering from this one cause than there is any need of. These delicate complaints are not a necessity of womanhood, nor is it necessary for modest women to undergo the repugnant and generally useless methods of treatment so common with hysicians. All forms of ‘‘ female ci laint’ are cured in the only natural, scientific way by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which reaches the internal source of the trouble; D rifies, heals, strengthens and cures ically and permanently. It is the only medicine of the kind devised by an educated and skilled specialist in wo- men’s diseases for the sole purpose of curing this one class of diseases. .. ““I_cannot say too much for Dr. Pierce's Favor- ite Prescription,” writes Miss Clara Baird, of rainy Bark Montgomery Co., Penn’a. “I feel it my duty tosay to all women who may be suffer- ing from any disease of the womb that it js the best medicine on earth for them touse. I cannot praise it too highly for the good it did me. If any one doubts this give them my name and Dr. Pierce’s thousand-page, illustrated | book, ‘*‘ Common Sense Medical Adviser,”* contains information of utmost value to women. <A paper-bound y will be sent free if pomcad 21 See teat to pay the cost of mailing only.

The objects of the convention are, in part, thus set out in the call: The severities of the industrial stagnation of the past four years have not yet becn abated. The wrongs from which the w. have not been righted. The injust imposed upon our people remains unremedied. The overworked large mass and the unemployed many are still testimony to the folly of our age. The employment of children in our factories and workshops. though modified, lingers with us still, and the spec Ss witnessed of idle men and laboriously busy children.
