AT CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Oct 17.-Blaine and his party
arrived in Chicago at s o'clock this even
ing. The train left Lafayette at $40,
nearly an hour late. 1t was not generally
known at the battle ground that Mr..
Blaine would leave so early, but his throat
trouble caused a change of program and
was the reason for his early departure for
Chicago. At the request of Mr.. Blaine
the officials of the Monon line did not per-
NIT their employees TO telegraph along the
line that Mr.. Blaine was en- route, and as
a consequence the trip was a quiet and I'M
eventful one. At the first few stations
small crowds had congregated, but after
that there were no gatherings Mr.. Blaine
spent most OF the time lying down in his
room but came out to luncheon and, al
though he ate very sparingly, he gradually
became interested in a conversation be
tween General Alger and the newspaper
representatives and shortly he frightened
up and led III the table talk, entertaining
his guests with anecdotes and statistics.
His general health seems to be excellent
but slight cold which he contracted last
night affects the vocal chords and prevents
utterance above low conversational tone
of voice. He anticipates that he will be in
excellent voice by Saturday when he
speaks in this city at exposition hail.
Groups of people stood around the depot.

traveller and ripple of applause and
cheers went up as he came along. In

THURMAN AT FORT WAYNE.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE day Of

and early this morning the crowds began
to appear on the streets. Fort Wayne's
10000 people were early reinforced by the
Inhabitants Of the country, while the
morning trains brought in hundreds and
thousands from the neighboring towns
Many came as individuals, but many 9th
ers were organized and prepared for the
parade of the day. Judge Thurman rose
at O'Clock, after quiet and refreshing
sleep. Soon after breakfast his door was
thrown open to the multitude and thou
sands awaited themselves of the opportu-
nifty to take him by the hand Besides the
Judge and prominent visitors and citizens
in carriages, the procession included vet
eran soldiers, railroad men, visiting clubs
the Fort Wayne Democratic organizations
citizens on foot, hunting and shooting
clubs. butchers, floats and wagons. The
procession formed at noon. and after
marching through the streets, which were
lined with people, went TO the Hamilton
fields, il the southern part of the city
where three speaking stands had been
erected for the occasion.
Fort WAYNE, Oct. 17.-Judge Thurman

ment in favor of tariff reform and an

visitors. At 10 o'clock the streets were al

Although the trains of twenty cars each
run out to the grounds every half hour,
transportation proves inadequate. Local
Republicans gave a street parade at
O'Clock this morning. Log cabins, live
coons and brass bands without number
were in the line Elk Secretary of the
Navy Richard w. Thompson arrived early
this morning with a number of old friends
General Alger arrived at o'clock from
Indianapolis. General Hovey and Cor

early train with delegation Of 1000 Re

Mr.. Blaine rose late this morning, He
left for the battle ground at 11:30 a. m, ac-
companied by General Alger AS the
Maine statesman drove to the Monon sta
ton, fronting the Lair house, ten thous-
and people surrounded the car. He was
rendered most enthusiastic reception. 1t
is calculated the crowd of nearly 10000
people await his arrival at the battle
grounds.
During General Ayers address they
continually interrupted him and he was
compelled to stop several times as the
crowd outside persistently attempted TO
sqeeze the life out of the 5000 inside the
tabernacle.
General King, Of Baltimore, was the
next speaker. He was introduced by
General Alger, who said: Boys, he's a
southerner and soldier; give him a
rousing reception; and they did, for as
General King stepped out the crowd sent
up deafening huzZas. In the midst Of
General Kings speech a great noise was
heard in the distance and in p few mo-

As Mr. Blaine came on the platform, the
multitude rose and cheered for several
minutes. Chairman Thompson announced
that Mr.. Blaine's voice would not permit
him to make speech today; that his gen
eral health was good, but his throat was
again troubling him and he must be eX-
cused. Mr.. Blaine came forward and re-
ceived another ovation. The confusion
was so great that he did not attempt to
Say a word. He waved his handkerchief,
but the cheers and confusion continued.

BEFORE 1T Is BORN.


DR. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on being
asked when the training of a child should
begin, replied: "A hundred years before it
Is born"
Are we to infer from this that this gen
Grafton is responsible for the condition OF
the race a hundred years from now?
Is this wonderful generation the natural
result of the proper diet and medicines of
a hundred years ago?
1t is conceded in other lands that most
of the wonderful discoveries of the world
in this century have come from this coun-
try. Our ancestors were reared in log
cabins and suffered hardships and trials
But they lived and enjoyed health to a
ripe old age. The women of those DAYS
would endure hardships without apparent
fatigue that would startle those of the
present age.
Why was it?
One of the proprietors of the popular
remedy known as Warmers safe cure has
been faithfully investigating the cause
and has called to aid scientists as we'll as
medical men, impressing upon them the
fact that there cannot be an effect without
a cause. This investigation disclosed the
fact that in the olden times simple rene
dies were administered compounded of
herbs and roots, which We're gathered and
stored in the lofts of the log cabins, and
when sickness came on these remedies
from natures laboratory were used with
the best effects
What were these remedies? What were
they used for? After untiring and dill
gent search they have obtained the form
las so generally used for various dis
orders
Now the question is, how will the olden
time preparations affect the people of this
age, who have been treated, under modern
medical schools and codes with poisonous

that the preparations they now call War
ner's Log Cabin remedies are what our
much abused systems require.
Among them is what is known as War
neT'S Log Cabin sarSaparilla and they
frankly announce that they do not consider
the sarsaparilla of so much value in itself
as it is in the combination of the various
ingredients which together work marvel
ously upon the system. They also have
preparations for other diseases. such as
Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump-
ton remedy, Log Cabin hops and buchu
remedy" Warmers Log Cabin hair
tonic" They have great confidence that
they have a cure for the common disease
OF cAtarrh, which they give the name
of Log Cabin rose cream" Also Log

ABSOLUTELY STARVING.
Farmers in Ramsey County. Dakota, in
Dire Want.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Oct. I'm j.
Horrismann, OF this city, who has been in
vestigating the condition of the farmers in
Ramsey county, Dakota, who were re-
ported to be starving to death, returned
last night. He says that seventy families
are absolutely destitute of food and fuel
and something must be done Immediately.
Men, women and children are in rags and
they have not a cent of money. The crops
are totally destroyed. Their land, stock
and farm implements are mortgaged and
absolute distress prevailed everywhere.
A minister was living in one room with
his wife and two small children, one of the
latter wrapped up in crib in order to
keep it warm, and the other was blue and
and shivering with cold and emaciated
with hunger There was no fuel with the
exception of little dry manure, which is
all that any of the families have TO burn.
The only thing that they had TO eat was
dry crust of bread.
The frost, which came in August, de-
stroyed all of the wheat that there was, as
well as the vegetables even those which
are as hardy as turnips.

THE YELLOW FEVER.

DECATUR, Ala, Oct 17-There are, only
two new cases in the last twenty-four
hours. No deaths. One case is danger
Gus. l want to say again that all quaran-
tines in northern Alabama should be re
moved. The argument of abundance of
caution has already been pushed to absurd
extremes. People have taken counsel of
their fears and have been deaf to the die
tates of the Judgment of experts. Yellow
fever at this season of the year and in this
latitude cannot gain Judgment anywhere
against us. We will have a few more
cases in Decatur, because the disease has
already taken root in a portion of the
town, but outside of this infected district
our refugees haye not communicated the
disease to anybody. All of New Decatur
and three-fourths of old Decatur are still
free from infection.

THE CAMPAIGN IN WEST VIRGINIA.

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. 17.-As result
of the unusual activity in West Virginia
in this campaign the advantage is IN
doubtedly with the Republicans. This is
best evidenced by the strenuous efforts
Democrats are making to hold the state in
line for Cleveland. They are thoroughly
scared from the Panhandle to Wy
oming county and from the Ohio
river to the Potomac they are flood
ing the state with tons OF documents
and parading over it with platoons OF
speakers. The best orators of other states
men like Col. John r. Fellows, of New
York: Senator Vest, of Missouri, and
others of the same caliber, have been
brought into the state. and sent even into
the remote mountain counties, to stir up
the Bourbon element and get every man
to the polls, and even Judge Thurman
himself will be brought here on the seth
TO fire the Democratic heart and keep the
boys in line. For a state which forms
portion of the solid south, these signs are
not without their encouraging features TO
Republicans
The Republican organization is perfect.
The campaign has from first to last been
conducted with consummate diplomacy
aud tireless energy, and although that de-
gree of aid and encouragement which Is
due from the national committee has not
been Youchsafed TO the state committee,
the assault upon the lines of the enemy
has been well directed and eXcellently
maintained Whether it will be sue
cessful or not Is problematlcal, es-
pecially as to the carrying OF
the state for either the national or state
ticket. AS in Indiana, there is Demo
cratic majority to be overcome. True, the
tide has been setting in the Republican
direction for years past, and the hold of
the dominant party in 1884 was not so Sc
cure as to make the wrestling of the state
feat, but still the odds are naturally
against Republican success, although they
are not without fair fighting chance.
When it comes to the legislature the
thingis exactly reversed. The Republi-
cans certainly have their opponents on the
hip and regard it as safe prediction that
the United States senator to be chosen
this coming winter will be a Republican.
A gain of two state senators Will make the
upper house Republican, while five dele
gates will likewise reverse the house. This
is about what is going TO happen, and the
realization of the fact has ratified" the
Democrats not little within the last few
days
As to congressman there is little reason
to anticipate a change in the regular dele
cation of three Democrats and one Repub-
lican. w. II. II. Flick, Republican. came
