Advertising in small towns is
quite problem. 1t is recognized
fact that in the larger towns it is
the requisite to any business and
the only question debated there is
methods. OF course, signs and
bill boards, and rock and fence
painting have their advocates; but
the closest students of the matter,
after experiments costing thou
sands of dollars, are coming to the
conclusion that newspaper adver-
tising pays the best after all.
Some goods want one paper
and some another Advertise
ments in such magazines as Cen
fuyy and .SfylJney's do not afford
full returns at once, one firm heard
from their "adv' five years after
ward. A local paper is good only for
quick returns. But the objection
to local newspaper advertising
seems to be that nobody r~ass the

The result of Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker's experiment
of free delivery in small towns
has been so successful at Sea

Jersey where the plan was tried,
that it has been made perma-

during ten months was SO small
that an average of fifty pieces
were handled for a cent.

when Andrew Stewart declared in q
speech that Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky sent their hay-stacks, corn-lields
ana fodder to New York and Philadel-
phia for sale. One Wickliffe, of Ken
lucky, called him to order, saying
that those states did not send hay
stacks or corn-iields away for sale.
well, what do you sendP" inquired
Stewart.
"We send cattle, horses, mules and
hogs"
Very well. What makes your cat
tie, mules and hogs? You feed 800
worth of hay to horse. You just
ruminate and get on top of your hay
stack and ride off to market. How is
it with your cattle? You make them
carry $50 worth of hay and grass to
the eastern market. How much corn
does it take at 80 cents a bushel to fat
ten hQg?"
"Why, thirty bushels"
"Then you put thirty bushels into
the shape of a hog and make it walk
off to the eastern market"
"Mr. Speaker" cried Wickliffe,
springing to his feet at this point. II

Third Average Yield Expected

Weather Too Cold for Corn-A fno-
Third Average Yield Expected.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 5.-This
weeks bulletin of Iowa weather and
crop service says: The weather dur
ing the past week was too cool for the
rapid growth of corn, but the con-
ditions were generally favorab BILE for
small grain. The daily average tenn
perature was about degrees below
normal The rainfall of the week was
in excess of the seasonable amount,
especially in the central and east CEN
trail districts.
Corn is about two weeks late, and
needs warmer weather to mature. 1t
is doing fairly well and is generally
clean where it has not been too wet to
run the cu1tivator. With the most
favora BILE conditions in the future it
will be possible TO make two-thirds of
an average crop in the State. Haying
and the harvest of winter grains are in
progress. The hay crop will be very
heavy but the quality will not be up
to the standard. Oats will not make
over 60 per cent of an average yield.

thropy.
Soon after this meeting, armed with
letter of Introduction, he took 4 piece
to a theater in the Strand to read to
one Of the management. The author
did his best and the reading went off
well. At the conclusion the manager
said:
And now, Mr.. Simpson, you must
allow me to introduce you to my
mother"

At this moment lady entered tho
room, in whom my friend recognized
the stranger he had seen in Thurloe
Square.

The lady appeared to be in the last
stage of astOnishment.

jures OF the Inman line steamer City
OF Chicago, which went on the rocks
inside the old hold of Kinsale Friday
night. have only been able to examine
hec port side on account of the
heavy swell. They report, however,
that they found several large breaks in
the vessell's hull, and it is feared that
her starboard side is in even worse con-
dltlon. The pumps are useless and
have been sent to Queenstown. The
work of taking out cargo is being
pushed. 1t is proposed, when the
steamer has been discharged, to close
the matches, shore the deck down, and
then, with the aid of pumps, endeavor
to float her. 1t is impossible to tighten
her bottom. The wind is now blowing
a fierce breeze from the southwest; the
weather is fine, and the sea moderate.

OMAHA, July 4-The forenoon session
of the peoples party was characterized by
no events Of Importance Nothing could
be done until the committee on resolutions
wa heard from, and it was not ready to
report.
Ii was 3 o'clock when Chairman Loucks
called the afternoon session to order. A
motion vas carried instructing the reso-
buttons committee to report such parts OF
the platform as were ready. This
VAS apparently the first move
on the part of the Weaver
men to hasten the ballot. A suspicion had
gain currency that the committee on
resolutions was not anxious to make
speedy progress for the reason that it as
a whole preferred Judge Gresham for
candidate and wanted time to get an
agreement from him that be would let
this convention nominate him.
The committee soor reported that it
was not prepared just yet to make even a
partial report.
Ward, of Missouri, moved to suspend
the rules and proceed to ballot for candl-
dates. This was seconded but there was
no intention on the part of the ardent
Gresham men to give up hope, and an
Illinois delegate made the point Of order
that the motion was contrary to the rules.
The chairman, however, said that tie con
vention could do as it pleased.
Ward motion was then tabled.
Lamb, of Texas, Weaver man and
also working for Terrell for the vice pres
idency, moved to adopt the St. Louis plat
form as the party platform.
Brown, Ct Mass acbuSetts, declared that
tie St. Louis platform was the one upon
which the organizations of united labor
stood They did not want anything taken
from or added to it. If the committee de-
sire additional resolutions it can move
them when it returns. Therefore let us,
ne said, adopt the st. louis platform and
proceed with nominations. Let the nom
mating speeches, he said, be made on the
Fourth of July, the natal day of our coun-
try's independence.
Mcdowell, of Tennessee, objected to
the innovation, ana Manning, the boy
orator of Alabama, added his quote.
The effect of the proceedings in the
convention was to alarm the resolutions
committee. 1t became stamped, and
soon fled on the stage with a platform
hastily completed Their appearance
removed the cause for the fight on the
floor and the convention became silent,
while Thomas c. Carter, of California,
read the preamble on the unanimous re-
port of the committee. At the conclusion
of its reading Carter asked that the pre-
amble be adopted and this was done unan-
imously.
