Garden City,
Byron Wood suddenly, and without
previous warning, disappeared from
the residence of j. Duffield, last Sat-
urday morning. Mr.. Wood has made
Mr.. Duffield'S house his home for
some time, and retired to his room on
Friday evening in apparently as good
spirits and health as he had been since
his return from st. Peter, the first of
the week, where he had been at work
on the section. 1t had been noticed
seemed rather respondent since his
return but very little attention was
paid to the fact and nothing said to
throw any light on the subject as to
his reasons for being so. He left his
bed and room In confusion, and his
trunk open as if he had departed in
hurry. Mr.. Duffield has made a
close search in Mankato and Lake
Crystal, and telegraphed to ST. Peter
to know ii he had returned there, but
can learn nothing of his whereabouts,
and it is feared that he has wandered
away while suffering from a brief
mental ALTERATION and may now be
sick and alone. His many friends
join with Mr.. Duffield in seeking for
some news concerning him. Mr..
Wood has been a resident of this
place Tor number of years and is
highly respected by every one here.
He is about 50 years old, and is about
five feet nine or ten inches tall, of
rather a stout build, has blue eyes,
quite large, long, light mustache,
brown hair, light complexion and is
very straight form. Mr.. Duffield, as
well as all his friends, will be very
glad receive any information leading
to his discovery.

Chairman 0'Donnell's Lesson.

Chairman O'DOnnell, of the Advis.
ory Committee of the Homestead strik-
ers, has been given a painful lesson on
the peril of infaming workmen into
violence. Himself under bail for muir
der, and nOn-union workmen crowd
ing into the places he made his follow
ers desert, he has been sobered into an
effort to get his dupes Lack to their
well-paying employment, only to find
his associates on the Advisory Com
mittee reject him and his efforts at
adjustment.
The special lesson to Chairman
O'DOnnell is in the fact that if the
movement to adjust the strike is wise.
the strike, or the forced lockout. was
entirely without excuse. 1t is obvious
that better terms could have been OBJ.
tanned for the Association before the
lst of July than can be obtained now.
and Chairman O'Donnell wisely ad-
Vises the acceptance of conditions and
wages that he would not have been
compelled to accept before the strike.
The Homestead strik, like all strikes
to benefit the few at the cost of the
many, and like most strikes to enforce
obedince of employers to arbitrary
Association methods, is obviously a
losing game for the strikers; and
Chairman O'DOnnell now sees what he
should have fOrseen at the start-that
it is only a question of short time
when the place of every striker will
be filled.
The practical results of the Home
stead troubles may be summed up as
the loss of hundreds of
thousands of dollars in wages; second,
lhe loss of employment7shat was GER
tain and profitable; third, the loss of
prestige and popular respect for the
Association and last,
1ut not least, the stain of lawlessness.

August Weather.

Storms having their rise the last two
days of July will be disappearing about
the lst. The temperature will fall till
about the 9TH, when a very warm
wave will develop, with storms on the
9th, 9th and 7th. Much bluster, cleo.
trical displays, and some rain, with
more or less relief from heat, may be
expected up to the 11th, when hot
weather will again appear, followed
by two or three pleasant days and
nights.
A warm wave of great magnitude
will reach eastern sections about the
10th. 18th and 18th. Storms of wind
and thunder are apt to result along
the progress of these conditions, with
occasional heavy local rains. If these
should not appear, the warm wave
will continue till the 2ed or Esd, and
possibly till the 9th, though storms
are also indicated about the 25th. We
expect, rather, that heavy storms will
result on and next to the 22d, and in
that event the heated term will be
broken, and cooler, cloudy days will
follow to the 26th.
We look for heavy disturbances and
extreme changes between the 26th and
Slst, with danger of frost in northerly
regions about August 2s to September
1st. September promises to be warm
and eventful.-W Word and Works.

A Childless Home,

Smith and his wife have every lux
ury that money can buy, but there is
one thing lacking to their happiness.
Both are fond of children, but no little
voices prattle, no little feet patter in
their beautiful home. 81 would give
ten years of my life if could have one
healthy, living child of my own"
Smith often says to himself. No
woman can be the mother of healthy
offsprings unless she is herself in good
health. If she suffers from female
weakness, general debility, bearing
down pains and functional derange-
ments, her physical condition is such
that she cannot hope to have healthy
children. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is a sovereign and guaranteed
remedy for all these ailments. See

Editor Sperry Appointed Minister to
Persia.

PRESIDENT Harrison has appointed
Watson R. Sperry of Wilmington. 70
De United States Minister Resident and
ConSul-General to Persia, with resi-.
dence at Teheran, the capital of Persia
Mr.. Sperry was named to succeed T
Burd Grubb, resigned. The two Offices
OF Minister Resident and Consul-Gen-
eral are combined in Persia, from the
fact that there is very little, if apv
commercial business needing the at
tention of the representative of the
United States. The same plan is in
operation in five other countries wbere
the United States has minister.
Watson Robertson Sperry was born
at Sanquiot, Oneida county, New York
In 1912. His father was the Rev
Lyman Sperry, a native of Stockbridpe
Mass who died at Unandilla, N. va
snort time ago. His mother, who was
born in Connecticut, was the daughter
OF Neil Robertson. Mr.. Sperrv has
been associated with newspaper work
during nearly all his active life. When
lad' about 10 years old, his health
gave way under school work. and bis
father then placed him in a country
printing office, on the ground that
that was the next best place to a
school. This was in Unandilla. n. Y.
where he was thus enabled to learn all
the mechanical details of the newa-
paper business, and acquired the habit
OF writing for the press. When q
years old he did editorial work for the
otsego Republican, published in Coop
erstown, n. Y. While thus engaged.
ne was induced by the Rev. DR.. Kerr
principal of the Cooperstown Seminary
to enter that institution of learning and
prepare for a collegiate course. Upon
the death of DR.. Kerr, he went to vii.
liston Academy, Easthampton. Mass
Tor one year, in the meantime contin.
uing to furnish the editorial matter for
the Cooperstown paper. In 1867 he
entered Yale College and graduated in
1871. Soon after leaving college he
accepted a position on the editorial
staff of the New York EUeninO Post
In 1875 he became managing editor of
that paper, and continued in that ca
pacity until 1881, when the paper
changed owners. In January 1889
Mr.. Sperry came to Wilmington. and
in conjunction with his father-in-law
the late Isaac Henderson, ofNew York
CITY, bought the Morning Ne,0s from
Messrs. Conrad and Pennypacker. of
which he has since been principal own.
er and editor-in-chief.

The following Sunday dawned bright
and clear, and punctually at 1 O'Clock
Ella and her father were at the station
with the light wagon to meet Will
Evans and his sweetheart.
They had just arrived a tall, broad
shOuldered young man and a little
lady in fashionable attire, with large
babyish blue eyes, fluffy golden hair,
and an exquisite pink and white COM
plexion.
She looked at her lover with rather
a disagreeable expression as he caught
Ella in his arms and kissed her affec-
tionately, and the girls deep flush and
succeeding pallor was not lost upon
her. But Will, blissfully UNCONSCIOUS
of his betrothed's mood, was in exu-
berant spirits. AS the wagon jolted
over the rough country road he jested
with Ella, or discussed the weather or
the crops with Farmer Morton, appar-
emily Oblivious of the fact that Miss
Weaver leaned frigidly back in her
seat and Obstinately refused to be
drawn into the conversation.
Thinks herself above u.s." was the
inward comment of Mr.. Morton, as he
surveyed her from the corner of one
eye. "HumphI" I"
AT last the wagon arrived at the
farmhouse, and Ella Immediately set
about preparing dinner, leaving her
father to entertain their vititors.
With VIII this was easy enough. but
but he could not manage the other Wis.
itor at all. She answered him in mon.
osyllables, and he detected disdain-
ful smile about her lips, as il every
thing here were too commonplace for
her.
Will noticed it too, and tried to in.
terest Miss Weaver in the conversa-
tion, but without success; she main.
tained her chilling reserve until the
end of their visit.
Is Miss Merton your first cousin P',
she asked VIII, on the way back.

The new 55-hOur law in New Jersey
is not giving satisfaction even to the
workmen who wanted it passed. In
Paterson, 750 operatives have struck
because their employers, in reducing
the hours of labor to conform to the
new law, at the same time reduced
wages to fit the new list of hours.
Many of the workmen want to be al
lowed to work as long as they please
and thus make increased wages. 1t is

gress, in appointive Office and in private
life, was heard upon the subject Of the Re
publican nomination. Their "big FOUR
Fred Douglass, Register Bruce, Auditor
Lynch and Congressman Cheatham, Of

rison. Speaking OF the election bill, Mr..
Douglass said:
1.-THE position taken by President Har-
rison upon 1.-THE election bill, called by our
enemies in the south the force bill, should
endear him to the colored people. To the
president the credit is due for creating the
bin in the first place, and pushing 1t through
the house and almost through the senate.
His moral influence as well as his official
Endorsement and assistance was behind the
measure. That bill meant protection to
every colored voter in the south. II meant
as fair political and personal treatment as
Is given the colored or white man at the
