Lassitude and loss of appetite are among the first evidences of the effect of the sun’s heat upon the body, and in hot weather many persons who never have had sunstroke are debilitated by what might fairly be called sun fatigue, which, although not serfous, renders work of ev- ery Kind more laborfous than it would otherwise be.

PLEDGES TO THE VOTERS The following platform was prepared by ‘yclone” Davis of Texas, who Is to pre- sent it to the populist corivention at St. Louis. It has been submitted to the ex- ecutive committee, of which Mr. Davis is a member, an approved by them: “We, the people’s party of the United States in convention assembled, proclaim the following as the paramount creeds and principles of our party and the pledges and promises upon which we ask the votes and co-operation of the American people. On page 3 of volume 7 of Jefferson's works he says: ‘Our legislators are not suffictent- ly apprised of the rightful limits of their power over us. Their true office is to de- clare and enforce only our natural rights and duties and to take none of them from us. The idea is quite unfounded, that on entering society we give up any natural rights.’ The Declaration of American In- dependence, the corner stone of our repub- lic; proclaims the solemn truth, ‘all men are created equal; they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty and the pur- Suit of happiness; to secure these rights governments are instituted among them, we therefore declare that life, liberty and happiness are not secured when land mo- Ropolies by law hold millions of acres of land for speculative greed, while millions of industrious families are forced to live and die without homes. We declare that life, liberty and happiness are not secured when highway monopolies by charter grant and vest privileges, lay tribute and toll upon American travel and traffic limited only by the merciless greed of soulless cor- porations. We declare that life, liberty and happiness are not secured when the govern- ment refuses to coin money for the many and prosecutes the people as counterfeit- ers if they coin money for themselves, and then in the name of the law binds the homeless and moneyless millions for gen- erations to come in serfdom and death by issuing bonds to borrow money. “We declare that life, liberty and happi- mess can be secured by a just system of tand laws preventing land monopolies; a just system of highway laws preventing ighway monopoly and a just system of money laws preventing money monopoly “Our patriotic fathers who framed the Constitution declared that it was framed and adopted ‘in order to form a more per- fect Unien, establish justice, insure do- Mestic tranquillity, provide for the com- mon deferse, promote general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,’ and we affirm that all laws passed and all poiicies adopted by our government must have for their object one or more of these results, otherwise they are vold under the Constitution and contrary to the spirit of the republic. “Standing devotedly by the foregoing principles as fundamental we declare our lawmakers in allowing aliens, corporations and monopolies to absorb our lands by law have not ‘established justice,’ but justice; have not promoted the general welfare and secured to us and our posterity the blessings of liberty, but have produced homeless millions in distress and_ poverty, Where God gives ‘dominion over the earth’ it has been taken from them by the law of the land. The Reitlways. “We declare that with a few traffic as- sociations and corporations owning all rail- ways, holding power to set the salacies of the officers of such corporations at five times the salaries of the officers of the government which created them; scaling dcwn the wages of the employes to starva- tion margins; issuing bonds into multiplied millions of dollars at thelr own discre- tion and overriding that provision of the Censtitution which says, ‘No preference shall be given by any regulation of com- merce to ports of one state over those of another,’ they compel the south and west to pay millions annually in upholding the traffic centers and ports of the east and break down every principle of republican government; tax us ‘without representa- tion, produce poverty, engender strife and germinate strikes which destroy instead of ‘insure domestic tranquillity,’ and to’ pro- tect the rights of these corporations and adjust the differences between them: and the people they have filled our country with federal courts, over which the people have no jurisdiction and which in ‘tufn ‘eke out the substance of the people,’ all of which can be secured by government ownership of these highways. When we find a fixed national, state, county, muni- cipal, corporation and mortgage debt over- hanging ovr country for more than $500 per capita, and find our mints closed by law to the coinage of silver which has been used as money for 3,000 years, and when the government refuses to issue paper meney for the people and then charters banks which have no place in our Con- stitution, and which Jefferson sald were more dangerous to the liberties of the pecple than standing armies, and give them control over the money of the coun- try—we know that our law-makers did not make this system to ‘establish jus- tice, Insure domestle tranquillity, promote the general welfare and secure the bless- ings of Iberty to ourselves.” Alien Ownership of Land. “Therefore we declare that no alien shall be allowed to own lands in our country without first becoming en American citi- zen. “We declare that no corporation shall be allowed to own land execpt what is neces- sory for the legitimate purposes for which stch corporation was created. “Believing that the home is the basic scurce of the grandest civilization, we de- mand that some just system shall be es- tablished by which all land monopoly shall be speedily abolished and the lands sacred- ly preserved for homes for our people and their posterity. “We point with pride to the fact that when John Jay, our first envoy, went to fcreign countries, his instructions, signed by George Washington, President, and Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State, for- bade him to make any treaties that would allow any foreigner to own soil in this country without first becoming an Ameri- can citizen, and that when the Ohio com- pany, the Mississipp! company, the Wabash company and other companies, organized by Mr. Gergard and others, asked for the right to own soil, they were prohibited by our forefathers, and the dectrine was an- | stig that ‘the soll should be sacredly ela for homestead purposes.’ “We view with alarm the fact that only atout one-third of our families own homes, and yet the foreign and domestic corpora- tions and monopolies hold by paper title and registered mortgage enough land under our flag to make more than twenty-two average states in this Union, and we call upon all lovers of home and liberty to Join With us in remedying this evil, The right to construct, own and regulate highways is @ sovereign right, a right of yernment, and should never be elogated to cles ns or corperations for private gain or specula- tion. Under the clause in the Constitution eclaring that Congress shall have power io establish post offices and Post roads, it wag intended that Congress should build Post roads as well as post offices wherever necessary, and under this clause of the Constitution we declare that Congress has the same right to build railroads to be used as post roads as to build a stone or marble building to be used as a Post office. “Tho same Constitution says ‘Congress shall have power to regulate commerce among the several states,’ and that no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce to the parts of one state over these of another. “Under these plain stitution we declare Provistons of our Con- it to be the duty of the vernment to own and operate the Fallroads, telegraph and telephone lines. “We point with pride to the fact that this Was the doctrine of Jefferson, Madison and Bearly all the patriots of the early histary Qf this nation, and that Jefferson in two messages to Congrega, and Madison, in ane message, advocated the construction of roads and canals, and the opening of water- ways by the government. ‘ha Mr. Jefferson wrote a letter te THE EVENING Sf4R, TUESDAY, JULY £1, 1890FWELVE PAGES. dobn Ww. on t! ject, “The Zomdent ick af my Hest coor Has the he surplus revenues be continued by annual or biennial enactment and applied in time Of peace to the improvement of our country by canals, roads and other tisefut imstitu- tions.” The Money Question. “Recognizing the money question as the Great question we declare: Congress alone Has the power to coi and isste money, and this power cannot be delegated to cor- Borations dnd individuals. This gbvern- thent has no power to emit bills of credit. Mr. Madison, who helped to draft the Con- Stitution, tells us that when the instru- ment was being formed a clause giving Congresé the power to emit bifis of credit or redeemable paper money was voted down by a majority of nine to two. The Constitation says: ‘Congress shall have Power to coin meney, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin.’ “We therefore demand that Congress shall coin gold, silver and paper into mon- ey ard shall regulate its value so as to make every dollar a full legal tender for all debts, both public and private, and give to each the same legal standard and func- tion as money. We demand that all paper money shall be issued directly by the Treasury Department and be made recelva- ble for all debts; publie and private. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both sflver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. Congress alone has the power to coin and issue mon- ey and President Jackson declared that this power could not be delegated to cor- Porations or individuals. “Thomas Jefferson telis us that when the Constitution was being formed & propos!- tion to give Congress authority to charter banks was twice voted down; we there- fore declare that Congress has no right to sharter a bank. “The Constitution says: No state shall coin money, emit bills of credit, make any- thing but gold or silver coin a tender in the payment of debts. We therefore de- clare that the states having no power to emit bills can no more charter state banks with power to coin money. We repeat the words of Mr. Jefferson wherein he said: Interdict forever to both state and nation the power to establish a paper bank. “The effort now being made by the gold Power to convert all the vast debt that has been legislated upon us into a gold debt and fasten this system by charter contract to banks and with bonds running fift years, and to bind us by compact wit! other nations under the guise of an inter- national conference which permanently de- monetizes silver, makes gold the only Money to pay debts and bank bills, the only money of ciroulation, must be averted cr liberty in this republic will soon perish, and we call upon all patrotic citizens to join with us to prevent this impending crisis. “We arraign the republican party for having established th gold standard in this country and we arraign the demo- cratic party for maintaining it. We de- clare that the act of 1873 demonetizing stl- ver has resulted in the appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the prices of commodities produced by the people of this nation; it has resulted in a heavy in- crease of the burden of taxation and of all debts, public or private; it has resulted tn the enrichment of the money-lending class at home and abroad; it has resuited in the prostration of industry and the im- Poverishment of the people. ““We arraign the democratic and republi- can parties for surrendering to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by law to the government of redeeming such obligations in efther stl- ver coin or gold coin. “We arraign the republican and demo- ¢ratic parties for issuing interest-bearing bonds of the United States in time of peace, and condemn the democratic party for traf- ficking with banking syndicates, which, in exchange for bonds, and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain the repub- lican policy of gold monometallism. Rights of the States. “We declare this to be ‘an indissoluble union of indestructible states,’ and that the Powers of our constitutional unfon and the rights of the several states shall be sac- redly preserved. “We, therefore, repeat that portion of the republican platform of 1860 on which Abra- ham Lincoin was elected, which says: “The maintenance inviolably of the rights of the state, and especfally of each state’ to con- trol its own domestic institutions, exclusive- ly, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends.” “We also repeat that section of the demo- cratic platform of 1880 on which Hancock stood for election, which says: ‘We are opposed to centralization and that danger- ous sptrit of encroachment which tends to censolidate the powers of all the depart- ments of government into one, and thus creates, whatever be the form of govern- ment, a real despotism.’ ‘We repeat from the same platform the declaration favoring the subordination of the military powers to the ctvil authority. “For violation of the well-known prin- ciples of our government, set forth in these declarations, we arraign both the republi- can and democratic parties. “We arratgn the democratic party for its arbitrary interference by federal authority in local affairs as being guilty of a violation of the Constitution of the United States and a crime against free institutions. “We arraign the democratic party for establishing a precedent of government by injunction, a new and highly dangerous form of oppression, by which federal judges in contempt of the laws of the states and just rights of the citizens, become at once legislators, judges and executioners—a tyrannical departure from those principles which are cherished by all liberty-loving Americans. “We repeat section 4 of the democratic platform of 1880, where it says: ‘The right to a free ballot is a right preservative of all rights, and must and shall be main- tained in all parts of the United States.’ ‘We arraign the democratic party for its wanton, brutal and unscrupulous violation of this sacred doctrine. The Tariff. “We are opposed to the importation of pauper labor or of pauper labor-made goods to beat down American wages. If the American people buy their factory-made goods in foreign countries because they can buy them cheap, it will destroy our Amert- can industry and force us to sell our raw material in the same cheap foreign market. Our plan is to coin money enough to enable our own people to buy, use and consume the products of this country. Then wages prices, everything, will be prosperous; then some just system of protection will be ab- solutely essential, not only to raise revenue for current expenses, but to prevent foreign competition, either by importing foreign paupers themselves or by pauper-made goods. “We pledge ourselves to a speedy adjust- ment of our federal and state constitutions, so as to provide for a permanent system of government by direct legislation, so that no act of legislation shall become a law un- Ul ratified by the votes of the people, giving the people a right to demand just legislation and to vote upon all unjust and undesirable measures.” MR. BRYAN MAKES A STATEMENT. Finds It Impossible te Read All His Letters. Bach day the pile of letters at the home of W. J. Bryan, the democratic presidential candidate, increases in sige. Instead of catching up with his correspondence the democratic presidential candidate gets farther behind. More letters come in each day than he, his wife and his secretary can open and read. A local politician said that the national committee should supply Bryan with a corps of clerks and some competent men to attend to this work, so that the candidafe can do work upon his letter of acceptance. “Some of these let- ters,” he said, “might be of vast import- ance, and should be attended to at once. In the thousands of letters and telegrams there might be one from Cleveland, Hill, or some prominent democrat that should be attended to immediately.” Tn order to let the people who have writ- ten to him know the condition of affairs Mr. Bryan yesterday gave out the follow- ing signed statemen’ LINCOLN, Neb., July 20, 1896. To the pubile: My daily mali has grown so large that I find it impessible to read all letters re- ceived, and still more impossible to reply at length to them. Those who are interested in the success of our cause will appreciate the situation and pardon me for making the following suggestions: First, as time will not permit a full discussion of political questions in so large a number of private letters I shall, in order to avoid discrimina- ¥on, reserve all such discussions for public eccasions. Second, all offers of services and suggestions as to the conduct of the campaign should be made to national com- mitteemen representing variaua states and territories. All requests for campaign mA Nite should be sabtlenea to the secre- tat of thie natiénat ¢efimittee at comfitit- fee headquarters as 800n as headquarters dre opened.

GOUGAR.” Gen. Harrison to Speak. General Harrison was in the midst of Preparations for his start east yesterday at Indianapolis. “This matter of silver,” he said, “is one that cannot be properly dis- cussed in an interview. I should want to Prepare such a report with the greatest care and deliberation, and it ts proper to discuss the question only aftér such prep- aration, afid then in a°speech and not an interview. I take, of course, the same great interest in the question that a pri- vate citizen ought to take, and when I Speak, I desire to treat the subject fully. F have no doubt that I shall give some time to the campaign, but it is not probable that I shail be able to do 80 before the latter part of September. It is hardly probable, I think, that the campaign will open much before September. It is impossible for me to give time to any interview, and it is not the best way to discuss the subject anyhow. The issve demands the closest study by every citizen and needs to be treated in the mest effeetive way possible. I cannot con- gent now to be quoted on the subject in a formal interview.” ANOTHER TELLER MANIFESTO. Silver Republicans Give Their Rea- sons for Bolting, Senator Teller and six of his associates who left the national republican convention last evening made public an address to the silver republicans of the country, setting forth their views of the situation. The silver republicans, Represeniatives and Sen- ators, have been in conference at Manitou for several days over this statement. In addition to those signing the address, Sen- ator Pettigrew of South Dakota and Sen- ator Cannon of Utah are declared to be in sympathy with it, although Senator Can- Ron was not present at the conference, ow- mg to business engagements in Boston. ‘The address says: “We deem it fitting that we, who have heretofore affiliated with the national re- Publican party, and who have rejected the financial plank of the platform adopted at St. Louls and refused te support the nomi- nees of the convention, should state our position in the present campaign and give briefly our reasons in support thereof. “When certain delegates to the national republican convention repudiaced the finan- clal plank of the platform and withdrew from the convention we determined that we would give our support to such candi- dates as should appear most. willing and capable in aiding in the restoration of sil- ver to ita rightful place «s standard money. “The democratic party in its Chicago con- vention. has -taken.a position’ in’ tts plat- form so pronouncedly favorable to silver and ‘has nominated candidates of such un- usual, uaquestionable convictions in. favor of the bimetallic policy, and of such high Personal character, that we have deter- mined to giv them our support. We sup- Port such candidates: because they repre- sent the great principle of bimetallism, which we believe to. be the cause of hu- manity and civilization and the paramount question now before the American people. “We therefore announce that we: shall by voice and yote support Messrs. Bryan and Sewall for Presklent and Vice Presi- dent, and we appeal to all citizens, and especially tO Fepubligans who feel as we do, that gold monometalfism would be of lasting injury to the country, to act with us in securing their etectién. “The republicans ai) jupporters of Mr. McKinley consented to thé insertion in the St. Louis platform of the gold standard declaration thinly veneersd by a declara- tion for bimetallism, “wher the leading commerctal nations of the world should consent.’ But until that consent was se- gured the gold standard must be main- tained. It is well known that this con- sent cannot be secured from Great Britain, and that~such declaration for bimetallism Means nothing, with this limitation on it. Mr. MéKinley consented to the declaration for, the. gold. standard in the platform, and in his recent speeches has accepted it, and hae become the advocate thereof; he has shown by his speeches heretofore made that he understood the dang=r of the gold standard and the distress which would be infilcted upon, the American people by its adoption, and’ yet he pledges the people to support and maintain that system, and fasten upon them all the evils of the finan- clal system which he has heretofore repu- diated, if they will make him President. Whatever may have been his attitude on the money question in the past, he must inevitably hereafter support the same financial system that the present demo- cratic administration has, and, if elected, Must continue the policy of Mr. Cleveland in the sale of bonds in time of peace. Hence, with the success of Mr. McKinley we may look for a continued increase of the public debt and the sale of bonds to maintain the gold standard. “With a nation equal in wealth and power to one-fourth of the world, it is cowardly to say that we must ask the permission of Great Britain to establish and maintain a financial policy: of our own. Believing, as we do, that a return to the monetary sys- tem especially recognized in the Constitu- tion and completely provided for by law from 1792 to 1873 affords the only ground of hope for the betterment of the distress- ed condition of ail the classes, except those who live by the increment’ that money loaned gives to those who loan it, we ap- Peal to all classes to rally to the support of the only candidates whose success in- dicates any hope of relief.” The manifesto then argues as to the bene- fits free coinage, and continues: “In Mr. Bryan the Chicago convention Placed at the head of its ticket a gentle- man of exccptional ability and of high character. No man of his age was better known throughout the United States than he. A member of Congress for four years he commanded the admiration and respect cf all his associates in that body as a scholarly student and profound thinker. No man had ever assailed his character or in any way questioned his integrity or moral worth. His character fg a fit example for the young men of this country. “This 1s a critical period in our national history. Our industrial and financial in- dependence of other nations and peoples is involved in this campaign and we firmly believe there will be no return of prosperi- ty until we shall have changed our finan- celal system so as to restore the bimetaillc system established by our fathers of the republic; and, so believing, we urge all friends of gold and silver as standard money and the opponents of a single gold standard to give to! Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall their hearty ‘support. In advising this course we do fut dgnsider it neces- sary that they shall abandon or surrender thelr political views an ather questions. “Profoundly impressed.-with the import- ance of the issues ef this campaign, for ourselves and our dssocfates, we resp2ct- fully submit the forégoftig to the candid corsideration of the Américan people.’ TO BE OPE AT ONCE. 7 Republican Soung Myney Campaign in the Northwest. The republican cajnpat in the north- west will be opened algae in MigApsota and Nebraska with’*speeeches by Senator Burrows and*Roswelj G. ‘Horr of Michigan. These matters of detail were settled at & meeting of the advisory committee held yesterday at the Auditorium Hotel, Chi- cago. They went into session at 11 o'clock and did not adjourn until after 7 o'clock, just in time for Mr. Hanna to catch a train back to Cleveland. Bestdes the committee- men, those who attended the conference were John R. Tanner, Senator Cullom, W. BE, Mason, Representative Cannon of Dan- ville, W. G. Edens of, Galesburg, Senator Thurston of Nebraska, ex-Governor Hib- bard of Minnesota and Perry 8. Heath of Cincinnati. During the day Mr. Hanna was tn con- sultation with Richard Powers, a local Jabor leader. It was thought their talk had some relation to the objections against Henry C. Payne. Mr. Payne, who did not put in an appearance at the meeting until Tate in the afternoon, said the workingmen had no just grounds for regarding him with @isfavor. He claimed there had never been a on any of the street ratiroads with Which Ke te Coastcted. Just before he left for Cleveland Chair- man Hanna said he was not seriously dis- turbed by the apparent growth of the free gilyer eee the west. He s not believe ft {8 as stron as ft has béen repre- sented, but he will conduct the campaign on the idea that thé sfivér peopie ave as much Strength as they claim. . . ‘We will inaugurate the campaign at once,” he said, ‘‘by distributing sound money Uterature and sending sound money speak- érs into the silver strongholds. The free silver managers have been at work for a year or more trying to educate the people Up to the point of believing that their theory fs the correct one. So far as the financial issue is concerned, there should be no division on partisan lines, as between re- ublicans and democrats, in this campaign. ‘e expect that many democrats who be- Heve in sourid money will vote With us.”” KENTUCKY POPULISTS. Tlie Staté Convention Votes Aga Indorsing Bryan. The Kentucky populist convention yes- terday, by a vote of 240 to 107, adopted a Platform strongly opposing the plan to have the national convention of the party indorse the Chicago ticket and platform. &. K. Taylor was chosen temporary chair- man, and the proceedings were hurried through to enable the delegates to take an early evening train for St. Louis. Owing to lack of representation from two dis- tricts, seven instead of four delegates-at- large were elected, in order to inake the delegation at St Louis complete. The con- vention selected the following: Ben. C. Keys of Calloway, C. 8. Bate of Jefferson, W. R. Browder of Logans, W. P. Marsh of Anderson, H. F, Turner of Hen- derson, L. 3, Johnson of Woodford and Jo. A. Parker of Jefferson. The platform adopted contains the fol- lowing: “The people's party of Kentucky fs ural- terably opposed to the indorsement by the national convention of the people's party at St. Louts of the democratic platform and ticket nominated at Chicago. “We are decidedly opposed to nominating any man for an office wno will not fndorse and advocate a straight populist platform. “We favor a union of all reform forces on an honorable basis, if one preserving intact the organization and principles of the people's party can be devised. This may be done by an eqiitab'e div’sion of electors and not by surrender or fusion.” ANTE-CONVENTION NOTES. Senator Butler Suggested for Tem- porary Chairman. The name of Senator Butler of North Carolina was sprung last night in the Populist executive committee at St. Louis for the first time for temporary chairman of the convention tomorrow, and was re- ceived with much favor. It is believed that his selection would be especially ac- ceptable to the southern delegates. Other names mentioned are those of General J. B. Weaver and “Cyclone” Davis of Texas. The selection will be made by the national committee. An influential member of the executive committee predicted that the choice would fall upon Butler. Marton Williams, delegaie-at-large from Texas, made a canvass yesterday after- noon by request of his associates of the delegation present and reports the result thus: _“Three-fourths are opposed to the in- dorsement of Bryan. The south is solid against it. He may be nominated by the convention if he accepts the momina- tion on a populist platform. Mr. Bryan standing on the Chicago platform will never be indorsed or nominated by the Populsts.”” Opposition to Compromine. The prospect fcr a compromise, which some of the populists affected for a while to consider probable, has iisappeared. It met {ts fate In the Bryan camps, where it. was smothered apparently beyond re- suscitation. The compromise proposition looking to the retention of Mr. Bryan at the head of the ticket and substituting a populist for Mr. Sewall for Vice President was sprung in_the smail hours of the morning in a Promiscuous meeting of party leaders. It was afterward adopted by the executive committee of the national committee and was by them exploited as a panacea which would ease all the ills of the situation by uniting all the factions. The southern delegations accepted the scheme with avid- ity on the theory that it would aid them in Maintaining the entirety of the party for which they have heid out so vigorously. The Bryan people did not accept the sug- gestion from the beginning. ‘They had No sooner heard of it than a Bryan meet- ing was called, which, in the forcible lan- guage of one who attended, “proceede to immediately jump on it with both feet." This Bryan meeting and the one which followed between representatives of the Bryan element and the executive commit- tee constituted the important events of the day. The result ef these meetings Is @ probable split in the party and the like- Hhood that the matter of indorsing Bryan or nominating another candidate or the nomination of Bryan and another candidate than Sewall for Vice President will have to be fought out in the convention. Silver Committee Meets. The national committee of the American silver organization held a meeting at Its headquarters last night, which developed, as expected, into a Bryan ratification. Among the prominent arrivals were Senator Jones and Representattve Newlands of Ne- vada and Judge Scott of Kansas. All attended the meeting and were called upon to make addresses. The most important Speech was the one of Judge Scott, who said he had always been a republican and had never voted anything except a re- publican ticket, but he would this year use every effort to secure the election of Bryan. It was agreed by all present that silver could win, if the silver men united on thé Chicago ticket, but a split would be dangerous. The committee did not adjourn until near midnight. A committee was appointed to confer with the populists wit. the object of having a single silver ticket In the field. It was also decided that each man should be a committee of one to work in the in- terest of Bryan. California’s Delegatio: The California delegation to the populist convention arrived at St. Louis last night. They are thirty-nine in number. Accord- ing to Henry C. Dillon of Los Angeles they are divided on the proposition to indorse or nominate Bryan. “Southern California populists are solid for Bryan,” said he. ‘From tke northern art of the state are some opposed to ryan. I believe that there is a majority of thirty-nine for him.” Ohio’s Delegation. The Ohio delegation, headed ty Hugo Pryor of Cleveland, arrived last night, with E. V. Debs buttons in their lapels. They say they are for Debs, but realize that he cannot be nominated. Upon the question of indorsing Bryan they are di- vided pretty evenly. “If Sewall were not on the tail of the ticket,” said_one of them, “a majority would be for Bryan.” Wisconsin and India: The first one of the Wisconsin delegation to arrive came in last night. He ts for Debs for President. “Our delegation ‘is not instructed for him,” he said, “but the convention expressed its wish that we should vote for him, and we intend to do 90." ‘The Indiana delegation is also for Debs,” said N. H. Matsinger, editor of the Referendum. “Our delegates are not in- structed, but many are in favor of Debs.” “We will never indorse or nominate Bryan,” said the Wisconsia delegate. “Silver is only one of our planks, and the least important.” , “Mat’s right,” echoed the Indiana man. ——_+e+—____ . She Knows Horses, From Harper's Bazar, Mrs. W. E. D. Stokes is said to own more high-priced trotting horses than any other woman in the world, and she has, quite naturally, a keen appreciation of the good Points of a horse. Down on her husband's stock farm, near Lexington, Ky., are the two celebrated Orloff horses presented to Mr. Stokes and herself by the Grand Duke Dimitri, wha is the head of the Imperial Stud in Russia. Mrs. Stokes is a practical driver and rider, and is never happier than with the reins in her hands. ——S ee @ natural Ie the bate bes bam, made to grow natural heads ia Rae aate Heoewer, why wi 30 mot a aE cane’ (LTH BUFFALO NATURE'S SPECIFIC FOR MALARIA, A FAIR BONA FIDE PROPOSITION, Any sufferer from Chills and Fever, of however long standing, under the advice weeks, without obtainin; at the § rings ing these waters of the Resident Physician for six relief, have no bill to pay and the physician will be paid by the proprietor.

From the Spckene (Wash.) 7pokesman-Review, A specimen of the rarest owl in America was obtained by Henry H. Hindshaw, cu- rator of the University of Washington's museum, on Fis recent natural history ex- Pedition to eastern Washington. ‘he only other specimen of this owl was taken in Idaho in 1894. It was sent to Dr. C. Hart Sierriam of the United States Department of Agriculture, who pronounced it a dis- tinct geographical variety of Megascops flammeola. He thereupon described ft as a variety new to science, and called it Mega- Scops flammeola !dahoensis. That specimen is a male. On May 25 Mr. Hindshaw saw a strange little ow! on Snake river, about twer.ty-five miles from its mouth, and after great difficulty secured it. It ts a female of this rarest of American owls. Its common name is the Idaho dwarf screech owl. Me- gascops flammecla, the type of this owl, fs a Mexican species, and is fcund only oc- casionally in Colorado and New Mexico. This little ow! is one of the finest speci- mens obtained by the University of Wash- ington collectors in years. Another most interesting member of the owl family was recently taken on the uni- versity grounds. Early in June Mr. Hin shaw obtained a fine pair of Megascops zsio keanfettii, or Kennicott’s screech owl. This owl was never befote taken outside of British Colombia, so far as is known, and it is interesting for the history it suggests. It was discovered in British Columbia by “Bob” Kennicott and named in his honor. Mr. Kennicoit was in charge of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company's expedition to extend a line of telegraph to Eurcpe by way of Alaska, the Aleutian Istands and Siberia, as it was then, about 1837, expect- ed that the Atlantic cable would prove @ failure. There are now occasionally found in the forests of the northwest piles of glass insulators and other reminders of t ndoned enterprise. Mr. Kennicott went on to the far north, and was the first man to ascend the Yukon river. He died on that river. W. H. Dall, scientist and author of th slitution,was a young mem- nicott of the Alaskan wilderness. Many times the only thing that saved the pariy was “ ‘Bob’ Kennicott’s famous big Medicine,” a large watch with many sin- gular attachments. By showin this to the natives the party would be ferried on to- ward civilization. They finally reached San Francisco, and the remafhs of the ex- piorer were sent to bis home in Chicago by way of Panama. The history of this ex- Pedition was published by the Chicago Academy of Sciences. When the book was printed a copy was hastily bound and sent to Mr: -Kenniestt’s mother, who lived just outside of Chicago, and another unbound copy was sent away for proof reading. On the following dar Chicago was destroyed by fire, and fo other coptes of thts inter- esting record have ever been printed. Some time the Chicago Academy of Sciences may reprint the volume. All this is sug- gested by a wise-looking pair of little screech owls in the university museum. ++ Poisonous “Snowballs. From the Norristown Herald. The fatal effects of the use of what are known as “snowballs,” a cheap eompound of shaved ice and artificial flavoring ex- tracts, should serve as a warning to pa- rents who allow their children to invest their pennies in these articles. The ¢: tracts used contain large proportions of fusel ofl and glucose, and they are colored with aniline, making their use decidedly unwhol-some, if not positively dangerous. The stomachs of young children are pecu- liarly sensitive to poison. It is the fusel oil, physicians say, that makes the child become addicted to “snowballs,” just as the opium smoker, the victim of tobacco or the drunkard becomes enslaved to his peculiar vice. Thus the taste becomes a disease that may lead to serious results. soe.

From the Chicago Teibune. Mrs. J. Curtin bas an intelligent horse, and owing to that fact she now rejoices in the possession of property that was stolen from her May 19. Her barn was broken into and a horse, surrey, harness and setter dog were taken. Rerently Jno. Byrnes of Auburn and 34th streets drove along Ashland avenue, and when opposite Mrs. Curtin’s house the horse he was driv- ing refused to go any further and walked to the curbstone. Byrnes whipped t horse, but It would not budge. Mrs. Curtin saw the horse and recognized it as hers. She called neighbors to her aid and Byrnes was held until an officer arrived. At the police station he said he had bought the animal at the stock yards, but the bill of sale he exhibited was dated ahcad of the time Mrs. Curtin lost her horse. He was held to the criminal court. —aee- — “Vest Pocket” Soda Water. From New Ideas. A curious apparatus for making soda water at home is being shown by an Eng- lish concern. The method comprises the compression of the liquid carbonic acid at sixty atmospheres into small steel pear- shaped cartridges about five-eighths of an trch in diameter at the largest part. Such a cartridge is placed in the mouthpiece attached to a soda water bottle, and a cap is closed over it. In completing the closure a tiny etonite plug in one end of the cart- ridge or “gas drop” is punctured and the a8 escapes into the bottle, dissolving in the water. Twelve of these drops weigh three cunces. Gladness Comes Witha better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle effurts—pleasante florts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due'to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere estecmed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effeets are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine art cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable draggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figsstands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
