working night and day for two months
putting forth every effort and induce
ment to organize Republican clubs, and
at last their efforts have been rewarded
by the organization of one small club in
the whole county. But their club con-
sists almost entirely Of few leaders who
are in it for revenue only, ," and their last
fall candidates, all of whom except the
county surveyor were showed under by
the peoples votes But from their looks
and actions since last Tuesday they have
about made up their minds that they are
not "in It."
The word had been quietly passed
around for the last few days that State
Lecturer Scott would be here on the 22nd.
The Republicans heard of It and talked
and expected the meeting to be q failure,
for, as they argued, "we will stay away
and then where will Scott got his hear
ers." But early In the morning the teams
began to come in loaded down with peo-
pie, and by 10 o'clock more people were
IN town than have been since Scott was
here q year ago. At / o'clock they
gathered In the largest hall In town and
an hour was taken up in short speeches
and singing, and at 2 o'clock when
Brother s. NJ. Scott appeared at the door
the packed crowd went wild with en-
thusiasm, and within five minutes every
seat and every foot Of standing room was
taken, and every window and door was
opened that those ON the outside might
hear, for the crowd was as closely packed
on the outside as it was within.
For three hours Scott hurled forth such
hot shot and clinching arguments and un-
anSweEable facts that the few Republi-
cans and Democrats who ventured with
In the sound Of his voice trembled and
thought "what shall we do to be saved"
and with deep conviction and feeling of
repentance heard Brother Scott say,
"Whlle the lamp holds out to burn, the
vilest sinner may return" While those
who we're for and with the people kept up
almost a constant round Of applause. Such
earnestness and enthusiasm have never
been known or thought Of as is exhibited
In Wallace county this spring. The move
is sweeping everything before It; the cry
Is life, liberty and home. Rally to the
'front.' boys, the fight Is on, and western
Kansas is in 1t and victory is ours. The
good crop have only added fuel to the
fire. 1t has renewed our hope, and
strengthened our ambition, and the ca
lamity makers can now hear the calamity
howlers in earnest.
After the speaking was over the Peo-
ple'S party platform as adopted at St.Louis
was indorsed by q unanimous vote, and
three deafening cheers for the Peoples
party rent the air. But the climax was
not reached until q motion was made to
give three cheers for Brother s. NJ. Scott,
the next governor Of Kansas, which
seemed to meet the approval OF everyone
entjudging from the prolonged cheer
ing that enSued. The meeting then
closed by singing "Good Bye, Old Party,
Good Bye" and the people started home
with a new resolve to work harder for
the grand move. Our friends in other
parts Of the country can count on Wall

RINGING Words
From a Prominent and Emin-
ent Divine.
Statements That Are True and
Straight to the Point.
Read What He Says, for His Words Are
Of Great and Peculiar Interest.

No one knows better than the faithful
pastor the great value of sound physical and
nerve strength. The strain upon brain ana
nerve, the physical exhaustion following ex-
cessive work. the responsibilities and SYM
pathies with Affections and the myriad cares
make the earnest preachers duties arduous
and wearing in the extreme
We do not wonder, therefore, at the strong
and ringing words of praise which the
eminent divine, Rev. C. D. r. Meacham, gives
the most wonderful of medicines, DIR.
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
When he was run down in health, weak in
nerves, prostrated in strength, and with his
blood badly impaired, he was restored to
sound and vigorous health by this mar
velous health renewer.
Here are the exact facts in his own words:
Il am very glad to say in regard to DR..
Greene's great remedy that when my blood
was badly impoverished by an old scrofula
humor, and my nervous system was greatly
impaired, DR.. Greene's medicine gave me
wonderful relief.
"At the present time my health is as good
as at any time i'll my life, and my confidence
in DIR. Greene's remedy is constantly in
creasing. Rev. c. D. r. MEACHAM-
Pastor Baptist Church, Townshend, VT"
We have published the testimonials of
vast numbers of people who were cured by
the use of the great discovery, DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, but we
take more pleasure in giving to the world
Rev. Mr.. Meacham's own words in regard to
the wonderful benefits he received from this
valuable remedy, because we realize that
the earnest words of a minister will have
great weight with sufferers from disease,
and everybody who reads his convincing
words in regard to the sure and remarkable
curative powers of this medicine will lose no
time in securing bottle and thus obtain
cure.
1t is purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less, and is kept by all druggists at 81 90.
Its discove"er is the well-known DR..
Greene, of 35 West Fourteenth. street, New
York, who gives consultation and advice
free to the sick, personally or by letter. The
sick should use Immediately Dr.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, for it is
not only the best remedy ever discovered,
but those using it have the privilege of con-
sulting DIR. Greene concerning its effects,
their health, etc. This fact alone guarantees
the assurance of a cure. IfyOu need a medi-
cine do not fail to take this best of all
remedies.

ANDY TICKLES THE CROWD.

Mr.. Robertson Talked to the People as an
Old-Time Glassblower.
A. G. Robertson made characteristic
speech. After Mckinley and Dazell got
through the crowd wanted something free
and easy and they got it. Andy told sew
eral good stories that made the people
laugh and put everybody in good humor.
He grew eloquent at times and received
lots of applause for his efforts. He began
by saying that the people had heard the
tariff discussed by two of the ablest men in
the country, and now he would handle the
subject from practical point of view, as "a
man who had been glassblower for q
years" This remark made Dalzell smile,
and put his audience into roar He re-
ferred to Dalzell as the man who killed w.
L. Scott politically.
ST am Republican" continued Andy in
his dramatic way aud with faint tinge of
Scotch brogue, because 1 am opposed to
the Democracy. He spoke of Blaine, and
then the cheers were terrific. He said the
free trade of the Democrats was a conspir-
acy against America Matched in England.
Andy touched up wildcat banking and re-
marked that this plank of the Democratic
platform, if put in force, would ruin the
national currency. He is proud of the Re-
publican party for the great men it has pro-
duced and the rapid development of the
country under the protective system.

churches paid the society, and he referred
to The fact that the society put 81, 900 into
Jolnstown alone after the flood that de-
stroyed the city.
DR.. Baldwin spoke earnestly for the
University at Washington, urging that it's
maintenance was the means to the end of

the establishment of Lincoln Hall" in
the University, pointing to the fact that
the great war President had no fitting

Rev. Mr.. Potter, of Freedom, the charges
are not made known outside official circles.
He also withdraws from the ministry and
the conference.
Bishop Newman talked to the Conference
before the close of the meeting, saying in
reference to the matter of family prayers,

after he became President of the United
States. The Conference will continue in

Bridgewithian ward, who is next in rota-

considerable discussion and opposition, in

of the Anglican church and to have an
Anglican chaplain.
In response to inquiries by Lord Mayor

Secretary for Ireland, has sent a letter to
Justin Mccarthy, in which he says, con-
cerning the evicted tenants in Ireland:
"The Government decided to appoint q
small commission to examine the question
promptly and impartialiy. They intend
that the inquiry shall cover estates within
the scope of section 13 of the land act,
where disputes still exist: but all cases
where evicted tenants have Quilted the
country will be excluded. The commission
will report on the number, circumstances,
cost and results of evictions and on all mat
ters bearing on the question in any way, in
cluding an offer made for settlement.
"We institute the inquiry in good faith,
in the hope that both landlords and tenants
will assist, and In the belief that it is an in
dispensable preliminary to effectual meas
ures for healing a very deep social mis-
chief"

his earnestness. He talked we'll for at

81 never realized" continued Mr.. Eber-
hart, show much a protective tariff does for
American workmen until the glass workers
sent agents abroad to gather statistics. I
visited Belgium, and was surprised to see
women wheeling coal and doing other heavy
work in the glass houses. They arrived in
the morning from their homes, car
rying babes in their arms The
little ones were wrapped up with old
clothes, and left in corner, while the
mother toiled for living. 1 never want
to see women slave like their Belgian sis
ters in this country. 1 never want to see
American workmen compete with the
gentler sex, and I have come to the con-
cluslon that the tariff is the only thing that
will protect our people from being dragged
down to the European level"
Mr.. Eberhart talked along in this vein,
discussing the protective system from a
practical standpoint. His remarks were
listened to attentively, and made a deep
impression on his hearers. He said the
price of window glass under the tariff
had been greatly reduced, while the
wages of the men were maintained. He
had also seen enough of pauper labor in
Europe to satisfy himself that free trade
would be bad for the United States

Two Murders In Germany Look Very Much

BERLIN, Sept 2S-The body of a woman
of the town has been found in sand pit,
near the Spandauer Beck Brewery at Char
lottenberg The woman had been strangled
and then mutilated in the same manner as
the victims of Jack the Ripper" This is
the second crime of the kind committed in
Berlin recently.
In the other case, some months ago, the
body of q fallen woman was found tied in o
bag in the back yard of the Williamstrassc.
This case has never been cleared up, nor
has any trace of the murderer in yesterdays
case been found. The expertness shown in
the work OF mutilation has aroused the old
apprehension that "Jack the Ripper" has
deserted the Whitechapel district of Lon
don and resumed his fendish work here.
