Loe, Addison Starbuck, Mathew Cor
don and Henry Taggart.
The County Committee was organized
by L. B. Logan, Chairman OF the State
Committee, who made some very pointed
suggestions. He had no objections to
quiet, good men, but wanted hustlers
for active work, stating that the pros

adding however that the convention
here was the weakest Of all In point OF
numbers that he had attended.

ers. The plan is to obtain the names

A Miraculous Escape,

Severol gentlemen were sitting around
the hotel fire telling stories OF hair
breadth escapes, some of which par
took of the marvellous, and, after hear
ing them q turn. the quiet man spoke
as follows:
''Once in the early '70s, l was hauling
load of freight to San Angelo, Texas,
and remember that stopped one
evening to camp In deep ravine, just
after had crossed the Colorado river.
II was driving trail wagon and
was using eight mules, and just as l
had unhitched my team | heard roar =
ing noise, and looking up I saw water
spout coming down the rayine, and
about the time l looked 10 broke.

torrent, about ten feet deep, which
came rushing toward me in solid
wall of angry, 'brick-colored' water.

ceeded In doing so, and in fact got them
turned around, and started down the
ravine at sweeping gallop, and might
have outrun the water spou, but the
front axle of my forward wagon broke,
and while was trying TO cut the horses
loose the flood overlook me.
II expected to be drowned, OF course,
but, strange TO say, as the water struck
my hindermost wagon ii subsidized, as il
by magic.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
From Cholera, But 1t Would be Wise to be
Prepared.

IECPNNCNs
While there is no assurance OF the
dread cholera making its appearance In
Wheeling, euen II it does reach Amer
lea. it might not be a bad idea to look
after the sanitary conditions OF the
city. II is a well-known fact that nj
thiness invites the ravages Of the dis
ease. Wheeling is in comparatively
healthy condition as far as streets,
alleys and other public places are con-
cerned, but there are at the same time
a number of places, more particularly
alleys, which need looking after. 1t
NAV be argued that the Board OF Health
shovld attend to that matter. While
this Is very true no citizen who has the
the welfare Of the town at heart would
stand idle and allow filthy
places to exist and thus invite
disease.
In such cases the whole community
should be a board Of health. In CONVEX
sation with q well-known physician OF
Wheeling he informed a REGISTER rep
resentative that il would be good idea
IL all our citizens would look after the
sanitary conditions Of their property,
and keep such places clean and free
from filth. Lime and other disintectants
should be literally applied In places
where the dreaded germs might Turk.
As has been said before while the dis
ease may never reach this place, II
would be wise TO be on the lookout.
''An ounce of preventive is worth a
pound Of cure" is an old but truthful
saving. The authorities of all large
cities in this country are already taking
measures to prevent the cholera's APP
pearancs by looking after the cleanli-
ness of their cities.

Do you eat well?
If SO, you enjoy one of the great blessings

But how many people are there who never
know what 1t is to enjoy meal? The more the

keep the body alive Is forced into an unwilling
stomach, only TO cause intense pain ana q SICK

Why is this? Did you ever stop to consider
the reason: Drs. Copeland and Davis have
from time to zine in these columns endeayored
to point out the cause OF dyspepsia or dis

is the correct one is evidenced by the many

The advocate., 1892-01-20

From the foregoing tables we CLEAN
the facts that our great export staple,
wheat, has lost since 1878 no less than
1874 per cent. of Its price, as measured In
gold, and 154 per cent. as measured In
silver bullion. This proves that Mr.. w.
presumes upon the ignorance of his read
ers when he asserts that gold has not ap-
orecisted and that silver has deprecated.
Measured by wheat, silver has increased
its value TIA per cent, while gold has
risen in value 81 3 per cent. Measured
by our great domestic staple, corn, we
fnd that gold has increased It's value
about 80 per cent, while silver has just
about held its own, having simply lost
the per cent. premium 1t held above
gold In 1873.
| will now prove thatby virtue Of that
law which Mr.. W. 30 delights to expa
nate upon to wit: "Supply and Demand"
2 id must, 10 the very nature of things,
have increased in value.
Our total production Of gold for the
zen years ending December 81, 1890, was
in round numbers, 1895 100000, or $26 10
per capita for the increase of population,
We having gained 12,466,4 ,467 souls during
The decade. Our import and export bal
Ance for the decade stood thus:
The advocate., 1892-01-20

This makes our total available supply
Of gold for the ten years $415,027, ,242, or
$3.50 per capita for the increase of pop
nlation. or this amount $103, ,756,810, or
S832 per capita, was used In the arts
leaving S24 96 for coinage, Of which
amount 81 46 per capita came from
abroad, leaving $l750 per capita Of do
mestic production. But by November Is,
1891, we had lost our total available sup
ply for coinage for the year, and S5O, O,OOO,-
600 besides, and having increased our
population by 100000 during the year
reduced our gold supply for money for
the eleven years to $40 40 per capita for
the increase of population. And SO It
goes, up and down, in and out. With
the present average production of gold,
even II we recover the fifty millions al
ready lost, the available supply for coin
age during the present decade will be
$14 so per capita for the increasein pop
ulatiOn.
now present q series of tables that
should convince even Mr.. W. that gold
uot only mast necessarily have sppreciat-
ed In value, but that we could not have
got along at all without silver:
TABLE NO. 3--GoLD STATISTICS OF THE UNIT.
ED STATES.
The advocate., 1892-01-20

FIncreaSe.
Average annual production for seventeen
years, $50, ,450,972.
Average annual increase for sixteen years,
$I76.1
Average percentage of increase for six
teen years, l.32.
Average increase of population, 27l per
cent.
Average per capita production of gold for
seventeen Yea'a, 7l.01 cents, or 14.62 cents
less than in 1873.
Average pri, 9 in gold for bullion in a sill
yer liar for a term of seventeen years
was 1874 cents, or just IA cents less than in
1873.
From the above twill be seen that gold
is falling behind In its efforts to keep pace
with the increased demands Of popula-
ton and volume Of commerce.
