FRAME FOR SIlO.

job Gould Discusses Its Merits and Sug-
gests Some improvements.
An old reader sends us the accom-
panying cut of the frame of a silo, and
asks If it is of sufficient merit to be no
ticed. OF course anything that prom
ises to be an improvement on existing
things is in the line Of notice. The
diagram shows that the studding of the
silo is to be put horizontal, and the
locked corners are to be further
strengthened by a c~ross-piece, to be
spiked on as seen at A. The important
thing is to do away with the corners,
and cell upon these braces as well as
the studding b. The designer does
not say whether the silo is to be single
or doublc-boarded, which would be an
important point, as the silo, if single
ceiied, would find its weak point at the
turning of the angles. If the matched
lumber were first put upon the stud
ding, or now more properly ribs and
notched on to these cross braces so that
the siding could be spliccd or Tapped on
to the first boards, the would
seem then to be reasonably secure.

A STRONG ENDORSEMENT.

We have often called the attention
of the readers of this paper to the tact
that REDS GERMAN COUGH

poison. When we consider that the
great majority of cough remedies on
the market contain opiates and that
the rest contain more or less poison,
this claim on behalf of REDS GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE
is an important one. We desire to
present in suhstantiation OF this claim

A counter demonstration was at
tempted by Brown, of Massachusetts, a
Weaver leader. who said he had a letter
from President Page of the Virginia al
lance, stating hat his name might go
before the convention, and that after a
full and free consideration he would
abide by the result. This is just n lit
tie better than Mr.. Gresham, who
wants it unanimously" he added. This
was greeted with 4 storm of Kisses.
Finally Brown apologized to Tauben-
eek, and the convention agreed that all
should have a fair show.
Taubcneck moved hat the owen
ton adjourn until s o'clock and Brown,
with 4 view of trying conclusions with
the enemy, moved to make it half-past
seven.
Once again the convention lost con-
troll of itself and for 4 brief period bed
lam reigned. On n viva voce vote
Browns amendment was defeated and
Taubcneck's motion fixing the hour for
reassembling was adopted by a large
majority. At 5 o'clock recess was &C
cordingly ordered.
NIGHT SESSION.
1t was $50 when the third session of
the day a called to order. Numer-
Gus hurried conferences were held to
consider the feasibility of concentrating
upon Senator Kyle, bst the chairman
cut them short by insisting that every
delegate should get into his or her scat.
At $40, Branch, of Georgia, ap-
peared with the supplementary report
of the committee IN platform To the
plank regarding a free count, a south
ern delegate in the rear of the hall,
moved that il be tabled on the ground
that it was but a rehash of the declara-
lions in the platforms of the two old
parties. by an overwhelming major
ity the convention decided to let it stay
in, and the reading was resumed.
Hearty applause was given the reso-
luton regarding standing armies, the
referendum. and the limits of the terms
of the presidency. When the reading
was finished Chairman Loucks put
the motion on the adoption Of the re-
port, although a number of delegates
demanded to he heard.
Quiet was secured by Hugh Cavanagh,
of the executive board of the Knights of
Labor, who reported this resolution in
behalf OF the committee:

with the Knights Of Labor in their righteous
contest with tho tyrann;cal combine Of clothing

thus Donnelly came to the rescue of the

The previous question was ordered
and the resolution adopted.
Branch had another resolution ready
providing that no federal, state OF
municipal officer or employee, including
members of congress, senators and
legislators shall be eligible to sit OF
vote in any convention of this party.
1t was $40 when the regular order OF
business, hat of calling the roll OF
states for nomination of candidates for
the presidency was reached.

was very imperfectly understood owing

II. F. Taubeneck. of Illinois, was
recognized and said thata at 1850 o'clock
the Omaha Fourth of July parade
would be passing the convention. and
he was about to propose Il recess when
a delegate interrupted with the state
ment that they should keep on with
their business. Taubeneck neverthe-
less moved a recess for twenty minutes
for the parade, and Col. Norton said
that it was n courtesy due to the citi
zens of Omaha. 1t WAS carried by a de-
cided majority.
The roll of states was called and
each state sen up the name of its
member of the national committee.
A resolution offered to request the
Union Pacific to extend the usual
courtesy of half-fare rates to members
travelling ove its lines, met with such
a vehement protest from those who
had been refused the reduction that the
resolution was rejected and Il motion
adopted to appeal to the interstate
commerce commission in the matter.
A recess was then taken until , p. IN.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session 4 telegram
was read announcing that the re-
publican delegation from Wellington,
county. Kas., had gone to the con-
~gressional convention with a certain
candidate who was defeated and on
their return the delegation put on
badges of the peoples party candidate.
The announcement vas greeted with
loud cheers.
But the most dramatic incident of
the day and one Sc overpowering in its
intensity as to be scarcely dcscribable in
the English language vas yet to come.
Representative Taubcneck advanced
waving 4 telegram in his hand. He
announced to one of his neighbors
Gresham will accept" The word
gradually passed around the hall and
the wild excitement was renewed.
Finally Taubcneck said the message
was from DIR. l~louscr, peoples can

For fifteen minutes thereafter the
