BOYCoTTING DISEASE.
A False Report Almost Ruins MIR.
Ridgeway's Business


RidGeway's Business
A few weeks ago Mr.. John W. Ridgeway
moved, with his family, into a house near
the corner Of Second and Il streets north
west. Soon as he was comfortably fixed he
opened little store and began be do quite
nice business. Just as he was getting
along his eldest daughter was taken sick
with pneumonia and died. Following this
bereavement came the serious illness OF his
three remaining children, who happily have
recovered. Some evil minded gossip cirau-
lated the story that his daughter had died
of scarlet fever and that the other children
were III with the disease. The result was
that all his customers forsook him, and
notwithstanding his positive assertion that
the children were not i'll with the disease
attributed to them people have boycotted
his place. The unfortunate man has been
almost financially ruined by the false report
circulated against him and his family.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 19.-Mem'
bersofboth National political committees
arriving here daily from New York fol
the purpose OF consulting their leaders
in Congress, are uniform in the state
ment that there will be more oratorical
talent imported into the various States
during this campaign than was ever
known in political contest. 1t stated
that there will be over 1000 strangers
who will speak alone in Indiana, and
that the number OF non-residenta who
will talk politics in New York cannot be
estimated, us the Democrats alone have
over $500 Of them on their books. The
number OF residents who will speak in
these States are almost beyond cOmputa-
ton. Every county has dozen or more
men who will speak to greater or less
extent before the election. Add to this
the millions OF dollars which will be ex-
pended for tariff and sother political
literature, and the cost Of the campaign
directly and indirectly, it will be seen, is
enormous. A member OF the House
who llas made figures closely upon this
subject estimates that the time and
money which be expended in this
campaign will be worth more than $780,

Pleasea NIctOrIn.


LONDON, Sept. l9.-The Queen un-
doubtedly will not regret the determine
tion OF the Shah OF Persia to eonfne his
westward trip to the limits of the Rus.
sian dominions. The former visit of this
monarch to Her Maiesty's realms did
not tend to create great admiration for
him in the fastidious mind OF Victoria,
and her opinion OF the eastern ruler was
outspoken and uncomplimentary. The
impression he left behind him was that
he had the personal habits OF hog and
the disposition Of Malay pirate. His
entertainment cost large sum, partic.
ularly as the rooms occupied by him
and his suite while in London were left
in condition which promised to breed
pestiienOe. Even the liberal.minded
Rarisians were rather taken back ut a
shamelessness which. they confessed,
surpassed their extensive experience.

however, do not view the matter with
