Farmer Sheds His Skin. St. Joseph, Mo., Dee. 15.—O. 8. ' Buskirk, a farm hand, 48 years old, | was sent to the poor farm to-day. | Buskirk is suffering from a strange ' disease, which the physicians have had little or no experience with in the past. Four times during the past year Buskirk has shed his skin, and now he has throat trouble from which he |may not recover. He has been em- ployed during the past three years on the farm of Isaac Miller, near this city. Miller went before the court to- day and asked to have him sent to the poor farm. For many years Buskirk has been shedding his skin once a year, but this year it came off four times. It | slipped off his hands like a glove, leaving the flesh underneath as pink as that of a baby. For several days after he sheds his skin Buskirk is un- | able to work on account of his hands ‘and feet being tender, but when that | difficulty has been overcome he ap- pears to be all right. @Poctors who examined Buskirk id they had never seen anything like his case. | | | | TREES, Apple and Peach 10 Cents, Pear, Cherry, Plum and Apricot 25 | cents Strawberries 50 cents a hun- | dred, Raspberries and Blackberries $1.50 per hundred at Speer’s Nursery south side city limits, Butler Mo.

Washington, Dee. 17.—At this juncture it certain that the | democratic campaign of 1900 will be | fought on the old issues, with the ad- | dition of astrong declaration against the trust evil anda plank dealing with the question of imperialism. The latter issues, in all probability, will outweigh the older ones. The democratic policy, with respect to the Phillippines, was accurately out- lined in the resolution introduced by Representative Williams a few days ago. That resolution declares that the Filipinos should have their independ- ence and provides for an American protectorate fora period of ten years, after which and the payment of $20,- 000,000 by the natives, the govern- ment of the islands shall be turned over .to them, the United States, however, retaining naval and coaling stations and certain other privileges to be assured by treaty. It is understood that before offer- ing this resolution Representative Williams conferred with the Demo- cratic leaders and that the resolution is really a party measure, intended to sound the key note of the Demo- cratic platform next year. Concerning the issues and their rel- ative importance, these opinions have been obtained. seems SENATOR JONES OPINION. Senator Jones, of Arkansas. chair- man of the National Democratic Com- mittee: ‘‘Reaffirmation of the Chica- go platform, declarations against imperialism and the trusts and depre- cation of the misuse of money to in- fluence elections should be the battle ery of the Democratic party. Speak- ing for myself, I am in favor ‘of the Filipinos having their indepen- We should keep a coaling station perhaps and should see that the Filipinos are not interfered with by any outside power In other words, weshould treat the Philippines just as we are treating Cuba. It has already been declared that,Cuba shall have her own government and we cannot go back on the pledge. After atime, undera government of her own, Cuba may ask for annexation. It will be time enough ghen toconsid- er such a proposition, but I feel free to say now that I would, in our own interests, oppose annexation.” Senator Tillman of South{Carolina: “Chicago platform unaltered, without omitting a line or letter; anti-trust plank as strong and as radical as it can be put—not a mere semblance of words, meaning nothing, which the Republican platform will likely con- tain. Hot and emphatic protests against imperialism, and especially the Philippine policy of the president. Tam in favor of the Filipinos man- aging their own affairs, and in pro- tecting them from interference, while working out their salvation, from outside parties. In return for many millions it is costing us I would favor holding an island, or a portion there- of, as a naval base, but the United States should not go further than a pretectorate over the rest of the is- lands.” Senator Brown, of Georgia: “The question of trusts and imperialism will, in my judgment, furnish the is- sues in which the people of the United States will take the most active in- terest in the coming presidential year. If so, they will constitute the princi- palissues between the Democratic and Republican parties—issues neces- dence. Fermost in the people minds. Poli- tical conventions cannot create issues They can only formulate those that exist in the minds of the people. Po- E brought by the questions up- party in the last campaign will not be abandoned, but the pressing issues will grow out of the immediate ques- tions of trusts and imperialism. Lm- perialism threatened is the ownership and government of foreign countr: where people cannot be assimulated | to our own and who cannot become citizens equal to oursely in consequence, must be vassals or dependants by acquiring territory eannot be assimillate and become coequal citizens with our selves is not imperialism.” D'ARMOND’S VIEWS and who »verned Expansion where people to our own Representative DeArmond, of Mis- souri: “Il should say that the leading issue in the next campai money question, trusts. As totheir relative import- ance, it is my belief that no one can at this time say definitely how they will find arrangement in the public mind. I think it is quite probable thatin some minds and some quarters one issue will be deemed more import- ant, while elsewhere another have the first place. Then, events of the intervening may tend somewhat to magnify or to xn will be the imperialism and may the months too, minimise one issue as compared with another. In my judgment emphasis will be given to the money question by the passage of such mat- ters as are now pending and under discussion in the House. “To make full legal tender silver dollars redeemable in gold, to au- thorize limitless boud, moneyed ob- ligation, public or private, payable in gold alone, to create a gigs national bank trust. to give many millions of dollars tocreditors, public and private, to withdraw the green- backs from the channe& of trade, to give to the national banker a com- plete monopoly of the issue of paper money—this must challenge public attention. “Trusts are entering every branch of trade, to crush out the weak and bind together thestrong. The people will be interested in what shall said and done concerning them. “Imperialism can not masquerade through a stirring campaign in the garments of “expansion. The Re- publicans must defend their financial legislation. They have made, them- selves the champions of imperialism and the trusts know them forfriends. The democrats will meet them every part of the field and oppose stoutly what, as I haveindicated, the Republicans will support, defend or apologize for. I welcome the conflict anelfear not the judgment of the people. special antic be upon Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite. poison in the blood, backache, ne! vousness, headache and tired,listless run-down feeling.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 15.—Fire at the penitentiary this afternoon consum- ed the manufacturer's building and eaused a loss to the building and contents amounting to between $75,- 000 and $100.000. The principal part of the loss falls upon the state, which owned the building and the machine shops, which were together valued at $50,000 and were unin- sured. Aside from the state the 2 gba loser is the Lee Broom and Duster company, $25,000 on machinery and , fairly well covered by insur- ance. Just Saved His Life. It was a thrilling escape that Chas.
