DURING the Democratic rally on
the Sd of November, 1892, only one
disgraeeful matter occurred, which
came under the attention OF the edi-
tor of this paper, and that was a
young man who was making him
self conspicuous and hilarious hel-
lering for Cleveland, Stone and all
the rest of the Democratic ticket ex-
cept Clark. This young man claims
to have good deal of influence but
from what we can understand don't
even control his own vote. He
should not be allowed to vote in the
Democratic primaries in the future.
Perhaps he should be excused on
account of his condition.

Col. William Thomas, although
a staunch Republican, says he hopes
to see the time when the President
of the United States will be elected
by the popular vote-not by ma
jority of the electoral vote. If this
was the case, if the majority of the
voters Of the United States had the
power Of turning the government
wheel the way they choose, Cleye-
land would be elected by at least
100, 600 majority. Mr.. Thomas is
right when he says no man should
be allowed to vote who has been
hired directly or indirectly to do SO.

An American breeder has bought
f,r $150,0O0 Ormonde, the most
famous English sire OF running
horses. The sale shows that the
demand for fine running horses is
greater in America than it is in Eng
land. Evidently ii will not be long
before the stereotyped imported
placed before the names of many
race-horses in this country will have
lost its value altogether. The peo-
pie of England are as fond of racing
as ever, but their climate can't COM
pare with ours when it comes to
nurturing the -blooded animals.
Hence it is only question of time
when the product of first-class rae
ing horses will be added to Amer
ica's monopolies.

4 RICH STRIKE.
Tons Of Gold at Creede, Colorado, and
Silver in Abundance.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Octo-
ber 30.-As | have just arrived here
from Creede, Colorado, the great gold
mining place of the West, will have
to say that they have got more gold
and silver in Creede, Colorado, than
in any other two mining camps in
Colorado, and also moreWeaver men
than there are in Missouri. There
IS no question but what Colorado will
go for Weaver. | have been work
ing at Creede for the past two months
for the Gold King Mining Company
and will say that | have seen more
gold and silver in these two months
than L ever saw in all of my past
life. l will just tell you the big
gest strike in the history of this camp
has been made in the Holy Moses
Mine. There is a four-foot vein of
good ore within an 1S-inch streak
running 81 900 a ton. The indica-
tlons are that the vein will increase
in width and richness. The Moses
will at once become one of the big
shippers through the original mines
OF the camp. 1t has been eclipsed
by the discoveries in Bachelor Noun
tain, and has been sending out on
~ three to four car loads a week of
low grade It belongs to d: II

bell. Another strike in the spar lode,
one of the Polar Groups in the Line
Creek district, came into a streak of
ore, two samples of which assayed
2 700 and 1920 ounces in silver to
the ton, the other was made in the
Cleopatra property on Bachelors
Mountain and also in the new dis
covery of Perkins shaft a six-inch
vein of 40-ounce ore was uncovered.
The operators believe it to be the
amethyst vein. Also the finest speci-
mems of ore showing free gold that
have ever been seen in any camp in
Colorado was brought in by the fore
man of the Eclipse Mines few days
ago. Gold in perfect cubes was dis
tributed all over the surface of the
porphoritic quartz, some of them
measuring one-fourth of an inch wide
and three-fourths of an inch long.
The angles were sharp and perfect.
One small specimen sold for $40 and
the owner refused $25 for it an hour
after he had made the purchase. This
is the place to be. Take pick and
shovel and start and you will be sure
to make it. Will close for this time.

MISSOURI MECCA.
The Simple but Wonderful Treatment
ofa kirksyille Bone Doctor.

Mr.. j. B. Schroll, of Farber, a
gentleman well advanced in years,
some few days ago went to Kinks
vile, Mo-, to test the virtues of the
osteotomy treatment of Dr.. A. T.
Still, the lightning bone setter"
For several years Mr.. Sehroll has
been troubled with hip-ioint rheum-
atism to such an extent that he
was continually annoyed. He
sought relief almost everywhere
without success. AS last resort
he concluded he would try DIR. Still
at Kirksville, whose fame has spread
abroad from Maine to California.
The Doctor uses no medicine, and
claims nlne-tenths of the ills human
ity suffer are due to some bone of
the body being out of place. When
Mr.. Schroll passed through Mexico
going to Kirksvilie he could scarcely
get about on crutches; on his way
home yesterday he was sans
crutehes, sans pain and hardly even
limped. Mr.. Schroll states all that
allied him was his left hip-joint be-
ing out of position, which the Doc
tor Strengthened out in a short time,
and he, like hundreds of others,
threw aside his crutches and began
to walk. Mr.. Sehroll says the Doc
tor is an unpretentious sort of fell
low, don't pay much attention to
business and tells a person on first
examination whether or not a cure
can be effected. He has a large
patronage and requires all cripples
whom he treats to leave their
crutches as trophies of the success
/ of his treatment. The LEDGER is
glad to know that Mr.. Schroll has
! been relieved of his affliction.
