The crop is said to be three times greater than last year’s yield and almost 100 million bushels greater than the “banner year” of 1889. A Uniied Party, New York News. Word comes from Boston that there is a disposition on the part of gold democrats to return to the reg- ular party. This is not surprising. The policy of the McKinley admin- istration has estranged so many hide bound republican partisans that it would be astonishing indeed if it retained the respect of those aux- iliaries who assisted in encompassing Mr. Bryan’s defeat by voting for Palmer and Buckner. There is no doubt that a democracy united on the fundamental principles of the party will deploy along the political firing line next year. Everybody except “former comptroller Eckles knows how the Indianapolis ticket represented a bunco game pure and simple. And Eckles don’t count.

This is a scheme the republican congress and party will never en- dorse. Without the negro vote the republican party nationally, at least, would cease to do business. Hon. David A.

So seventeen men met at Jefterson City last week and named one W. R Hale, of Phelps county. Not a county convention was held in the district to select delegates and it appears that not a person outside of those attending knew a convention was to be held or a nomination made. ——_— Another petition was in circulation last week requesting the school board to call another special election to vote bonds toimprove the east school building. As school will open the first of September it is not probable the improvements could be made this fall provided the neo- essary money was voted.

Altgeld Declares He Was Quoted Incorrectly in Chicago Paper. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 6.—“Se much of what purports to be an interview with me, printed in the Chicago ratio might be abandoned or that the party might weaken on the ratio, is an infernal lie.” This is John P. Altgeld’s denial of a story which day. | “J would not in any way attempt to make the platform top-heavy with a 16 to 1 declaration. I wouldsimply put into the platform a declaration the party.” Some of the Harrison leaders suggested that Mr. Altgeld must ke preparing either to leave the democratic party entirely or array himself against the renomina- tion of Bryan for president. But Mr. Altgeld declared he had been misquoted. “Both in St. Louis and Louisville not long ago, he continued, “I said that ‘to abandon the ratio would be to abandon the cause.’ Those are still my sentiments. I was asked yesterday whether free silver would be the dominant issue next year. My reply was that it would hold the same position it held in 1896. “I have said before and repeat it now that no politician or set of poli- ticians can make the issues The free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is stronger with ths people now than it ever was O-her questions have come up in whic’: certain classes are more or less ict rested, and they doubtless will receive proper attentien. “But so far os saying anything will take precedsnoe over free eoin age at 16 tolis semething no man can foresee now We can not tell what great issue may arise between this time and the date of the nation al convention. The party can put several issues to the front. The trusts, anti-imperialism and govern- ment by injuaction must all come in for their full share of attention. But there is no such thing as subordi nating or sidetracking the cause for which we fought in 1896 ” Mr. Altgeld declared also that words had beem put in his mouth regarding the Kentucky situation whieh he never uttered. “What I said,” he explained, ‘‘was this: ‘If these eppesing Goebel’s candidaey go cn as they have started they will crush him.’” The trial of Capt.

Washington, Aug. 5.—General Otis has asked for a number of Sims-Dudley guns, Gatlings and Hotchkiss 12 pounders for use in the Philippines. All are rapid fire guns and are especially adapted for the warfare that must be prosecuted there. The Ordnance bureau bas been very busy gathering up the guns asked for by General Otis, as they have been scattered about the country in different forts and arsen- als, but a sufficient number te meet the present demand has been pro- cured and ordered shipped to Manila.

The robbers secur ed government bonds valued at $10,500, $75 in money and a lot of silverware and jewelry. They then locked the women in an upstairs room and hastily drove off.

The Woe! and Cotton Reporter figures that between January and July the new trusts represented on papera capitalization of $7,370,783,383, of which $1,628,706,900 was preferred and $5,742,076,453 was steck In the opinion of the same journal the preferred stock includes every- thing of tangible value, and it is “forced to the conclusion that two thirds of the trust capitalization is ‘water, pure and simple.” Sever billions is a good deal of money, when it is money and not merely paper certificates. It would pay the sational debt ef France, the largest in the world, leaving a balance almost sufficient to discharge the British debt also. The total assessed valuation of the United States in 1890 was less than four times the total of new trust capitalization in this country within the past six months. Seven billions would settle a fourth of the total indebtedness of all nations. It is nearly eight times the assessed valuation of Missouri in the last census year. Probably there are people who like to have their imagination fired with billions. Stretching out an interminable row of ciohers is a pleasing cccupation to some and, unlees they are investere, no harm common may result. There is co much talk of trusts that it will be well to keep & watch upon them statistically. It must be remarked that they are more interested in persons with a large surplus of cash uninvested than in grinding the faces ef the peor. Persens of small means do not aspire to the region where the talk is of billions, and where millions are the mere pennies of the vast prospectuses put forward. To a large degree the trust busi- ness is experimental. Beyond a doubt the people can regulate it, but no one can pretect investors ex- cept themselves. They need the note of warning at this time more than any other class; but perhaps those who are eaught with the baig ef billions would be apt to fall vic- tims to some other inflated lure — Glebe Democrat Barbourville, Ky., Aug. 7.—The jury in the case against James Baker for the murder ef Wilson Howard voted him not guilty on the first ballot.

H. L. FULLER MAGNETIC HEALER anv Mental Scientist. The most wonderful method yet known of cut lisease without the use « ife or drugs—a method strictly in accord with nature's laws. The Wenc Results of Magnetic Treatment and Mental Science Now Conceded. The striking interest manifested all over walks of life in the philosophy of Mental the cure of disease, and in the various methods of Magnetic Healing is most remarkable. The staid old practitioners of medicine are not exempt from its influence, and the following statements from some of the most eminent doctors of the world are worth considering by all thoughtful men and women. Sir John Forbes, physician to Queen Victoria's household, says: _ . “No classification of disease or therapeutic agents ever yet promulgated is true, or anything like trath, aud none can be adopted as a safe guidance in practice.” Dr. Alexander Ross, F. K. 8. L., of England, says: _, ‘The medical practice of to-day has no more foundation in science, in philosophy or common sense than it had one hundred years ago. Itis based on conjecture improved by sad blunders often hidden by death.” Helen Williams, in one of her booklets says: _ “‘The cures effected by Mental Science include the whole catalogue of diseases. As great as the effort has been to keep a knowledge of these cures from the public. yet the truth has slipped out, and the reports have passed by word of mouth, from one person to another, until we Mental Healers have had many patients, and these patients have been so variously affected that I feel sure that every kind of disease has been included ameng ourcures. Therefore I say to the sick, no matter what the nature of your disease may be, do not despair of cure until you have tried the Mind Cure. The old school doctors pretend to laugh at the new method; but secretly they fear its power among the people. If they did not, then why should they make such Herculean efforts to stamp it out? “Truth forever on the scaffold.” Itis the same now as it has always been with every new thought. Thegreater the thought, the greater the persecution heaped upon it. And perh nothing has ever been so malign- ed and misrepresented secretly by the various schools of medical practi- tioners as the Mind Cure Science, Bat it cures when everything else fails. There are thousands of people all over the world who are sick, and who are utterly discouraged because medicine has failed to cure thei. They are dragging out lives of torture, and they haye come to the conclusion that there is no hope for them But there is hope; there is that, too, without medicine. Why argue against established facts. Some say it is hypnotism, others that it is animal magnetism, others that it is mental suggestion. What difference cau it make tothe sick and despondent if it will cure, and make you a strong, hopefal man again; or you a joyous active contented woman once more. It is the result you need, not the theory or philosophy of the science. You havetried medicine in vain. Try the new method. It will cost you ne more than the worthless medicine you have been buying. | don’t ask you to have faith in me orto believe in the theory of Mental Science.
