were then located revered your name.

When Satan Reigns.

From the Les angeles Times.
Los Angeles has lately been flooded
with little book inpamphlet form en-
titled, ''The Book of knowledge; Sa-
tan on Earth; How to Avoid His
Snares and Pitfalls" The author is
Minnesota crank, who is said to have
quite following of believers in the
east. He opens by saying that this
terrestrial world, "in which the chill
dren of men have had their being for
nearly 5000 years. Is on the eve of the
most tremendous change that has
ever taken place since the earth was
evolved from chaos. Great disasters,
misery and death will prevail
throughout the world, and the minds
and hearts of all lovers of the human
family will be overwhelmed with
sorrow"
The writer then goes on to say that
to his certain knowledge the evil one
is now on earth in bodily form, and
will ere long assume the government
of the world. The time that he will
begin his reign is clea1Iy fixed during
the first months Of the year 1886, and
not later than the oath day OF j une of
that year. Satan, in the form of
man, that for his evil purposes he now
assumes, was conceived in the trou-
blous times that preceded the revolu-
ton of 1S4S, and was born in the first
month of that year. The very mo-
ment that he reaches bodily exist
ence of thirty-elght years, the revolu-
ton then existing all over the
world, will have assumed its largest
proportions, and the evil one will then
start out on his terrible mission. Sd
tan, as before stated, is now some
where on earth in the shape of man.
who will suddenly be developed into
the king of evil or the devil, and
| whose honor and majesty will be al
most omnipotent. The prophet then
proceeds to enumerate the great ca.
lamities which will come upon the
world. When Satan's reign begins
kingdoms will be upset, the world
will be full of demons, and every one
who accepts his rule will receive a
mark upon his forehead. In the Uni.
ted States, during the coming election
Satan will use his influence to pre-
VENT the legally elected president
from taking his seat at Washington
| His design will be to embitter politi-
| cal feeling and incite civil war. He
will also inaugurate the greatest
financial crisis that has ever occurred
During the revolution which will re
suit from the efforts of the legally
elected president to occupy his seat
Satan will appoint one who has beer
victorious in military service, and il
now seeking the position as ruler owe

The crank gives full particulars of al
the calamities Satan win cause, AM

! to oppose the evil one. He state:

WILLIAM DANIEL.

Globe Democrat.
The prohibition nomination for the
vice-presidency brought into great
prominence before the people William
Daniel, of Maryland. He was born
on Deals Island, Somerset county,
Nd, January "a, 1926. His father was
farmer enjoying comfortable posi-
ton in life. Young Daniel attending
country schools until 1874, when he
was entered student of Dickinson
College, Carlyle, Penn. When he was
graduated in 1848, his name was third
on the list of the young men who had
completed their academical course In
that institution. On leaving college
Mr.. Daniel studied law, and in 1851
was admitted to the bar. since that
date he has successfully practiced his
profession.
He was elected to the legislature of
Maryland as whig, In 1858. The
American party reelected him, and
upon the completion of his second
term made him state senator, elect
ing him for term Of four years. Af-
ter serving one session he resigned,
and removed to Baltimore. In 1854
Mr.. Daniel was u member of the Ma
ryland state constitutional conven-
tion, for the purpose of devising
means for emancipating the slaves OF
that commonwealth. Two years af-
ter he was defeated as an independent
candidate for judge of the court Of
equity.
He broke off from the republican
party, with which he had been identi-
fled twenty-five years, so recently as
July IA of this year, at the annual
meeting of the State Temperance Al
lance of Maryland, which gave its
executive committee the power to de-
eide the course of the alliance In the
present campaign. Mr.. Daniel was,
and still is chairman of that commit
tee, bolted the republican party, and
subsequently appeared at the head OF
the Maryland delegation in the prohi-
bition convention. There he acted as
temporary chairman, and was nomi-
mated for the vice presidency.
Mr.. Daniel has been a temperance
worker since 1853, when he advocated
a bill similar to the Maine law, intro
duced into the Maryland legislature.
1t was on the same issue that he was
reelected, and as supporter of local
option he was elected state senator
in 1857. The Maryland temperance
alliance, having for its object the sup
preston of the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the state, was organized in
1872, and Mr.. Daniel was its first pres
dent. He has been reelected every,
year since that date. and has rendered
great assistance to the efficient opera
tions of the organization. The option
law now in force in Maryland was
originated and passed as the result Of
agitation carried on by the society of
which Mr.. Daniel is the head. Its
provisions have been adopted in thir-
teen counties of the twenty-three
comprising tha state of Maryland,
where Mr. Daniel is known as "Mary-
lands little giant" on account of his
energy and success as a temperance
refoTmer. He has been member of
the Methodist Episcopal church since
1848, and for the greater part of his
time an occupant of an official posi-
ton. He was trustee of Dickinson
college ten years, and is now the
treasurer of the finance committee Of
that seat of learning.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Depositors In the Wall Street Bank to be
Paid in Full.
NEW YORK, August 12.-President
Evans, of the Wall street bank, states
that additional investigation satisfies
him and the directors that the amount
of loss will fall short of the capital,
and depositors will be speedily paid in
full.
THE CASHIERS sPECULATIONs.
NEW YORK, August ia notice
was posted at the Wall street bank
this morning which announces that
all checks of Ogden & Co. will be paid
on presentation at the First National
bank. Rumors were curreut at the
opening of business that the absent
cashier, Dickinson, was arrested, but
proved unfounded. It is now assert
ed that Dickinson was using the
bank funds in private ventures in
grain and stocks. His margins, how
ever, were small, but he averted suspi-
cion by putting small sums to his
credit in large number of offices. 1t
is thought his last purchases, when
closed out, will show profit, as the
market advanced after they were
made.
THE CASHIER vAMOOSED.
NEW YORK, August 12.-Bank ex-
aminers are at work on the Wall street
banks affairs. footing up the losses
sustained by Dickinson's speculation.
President Evans does not know
whether the statement will be ready
soon or not 1t is rumored on the
street that the stockholders will not
be paid twenty-five per cent. and the
defalcation is larger than has been
stated. Vice-President Tompson
states the stockholders will be paid
fifty per cent. and depositors in full.
Reliable authority says the deficit
will not be over $25O,OOO. Rumors on
the street, however, put the defalca-
tion at half million. Brokers who
dealt with Dickinson are said to be
keeping quiet, and trying to conceal
the fact that they had transactions
with him. Dickinson is not at his
house this morning. The general be-
lief Is he is in Canada.
A RECEIVER TO BE APPOINTED.
NEW YORK, August 12.-The direc-
tors OF the Wall street bank decided
to wind up and receiver will be ap-
pointed.
