By reference to the call for the
congressional convention of the
Fourth district in another column, it
will be seen that the date has been
changed from the 8th to the 9th of
September. This district is all right,
and don't you forget it. The light
will 60 out on Moses on the election
day in November.

Gems. Weaver and Field are win
ming converts wherever they speak.
All men agree that they are most
wonderful campaigners. In the sill
yer States, for example, all doubt as
to how the electoral votes will be cast
was removed when Gen. Weaver had
spoken in the respective States
Gen. Field put things in good shape
in Tennessee and Alabama, and spoke
nearly twenty times in Arkansas,
where he was joined at Little Rock,
August 26, by Gen. Weaver. Both
go to Texas Monday for few days,
and will reach Georgia as advertised,
after speaking in Florida. Vast
throngs meet them wherever they go,
and the people are stirred as never
before in political campaign. Surely
God is moving the people to their
deliverance from thraldom.

It is said now that Frick was hurt
just as badly as he wanted to be, no
worse; that Bergman wasI in con-
spiracy to aaise the cry Of "anarchy"
and thereby prejudice the public
mind against the strikers. Frick
was well mighty quick after the
shooting, entirely too soon to have
been seriously shot. Bergman is
said to be rather amused and anus
ing over the idea of being punished
by law. Was Prick really hurt,
is the question.

"Goodbye jim"
The Great Organs of Banks, Rail

Watson wasn't so sick after all.
That "worried, careworn look" is on
the countenance of the other fellow.
How funny!
Hydrophobia is bad disease, but
the Georgia newspapers of the moss
back stripe are suffering from a
worse one. 1t is Watsophobia.

Can't we hear word or. two more
from Billy Northen and his whiskers
on the currency question? It's SO
rich we want more. Billy knows as
much about National Finance as a
he-goat does aboutIthe nebular by
pothesis.
Go it, William!
Just little while ago Billy Nor
then made very big speech at
Cedartown, showing how all the ills
of the body polite could be cured
by diversified farming. Now he
says it is the "durned tariff" that
does all the hurting, and that FIVE
per cent. less of the hurting will
make everybody happy.
Go it, William.
Why didn't the Democratic SEN
ators try to pass those Free Trade
Bills in the Senate? Simply because
that was not part Of the little game
of fraud which was to be played on
the country.
Everett won't be there next Term
to hunt Moses up and bring him in
the Hall to vote. No, No. The
Democrats struck down the gallant
gentleman who not only performed
his own duties, but saved Moses
from many censure. While Mr..
Moses is whining through his nose
in general he might say word or
two in praise of the man who used
to be so faithful and constant in
locking up his absent colleague
when important votes were on.

The appeal to the leaders of the
movement for money is called to the
attention of all lovers Of the good
cause. The Peaple have no rich
manufacturers out of whom to sfry

will not take much money, when the

The fact that the farmers move
ment carried five districts in South
Carolina for Congressman, in three

defy the farmers, are now political

Texas Is warmer than dog days,
politically. The Democratic con-
vention divided and set up two State
tickets, and there are two Republi-
can tickets. The people have made
irst-class nominations, and it now
seems that victory is certain. The
farmers have been having a series of
camp meetings over the State, at
which thousands spend from two to
five days, and political speeches are
delivered somewhat after the manner
introduced by the Chautauquans.
From these meetings the crowds go
away converts to the Peoples cause.

"PADGE" O'NEAL
JAILED YESTERDAY IN DEFAULT OF $1,000
BAIL.
He Stole Thirty-fye Dollars from Eta Diiiy WHO
Fired Several Shots at Him "A
Clear Case Of Burglary.

"Padge" O'Neal was sent to Jail yes
terday by Justice Phillips in default OF
81, 900 bail for an examination at p. m.
to-day on charge OF burglary.
In addition to getting in Jail "Padge"
came near getting killed, as Eta Ditty
found him in her house, which ne had
entered through window, and fired
several shots at him, one, at least, be-
ing aimed to kill. A lucky stumble and
n fall is about all that saved "Padge"
from furnishing material for an inquest.
"Padge" must have gone broke at a
poker game or failed TO touch" some
one for a few days, for he had no money
and was forced TO either starve or go to
work, as he explained he didn't have a
chance TO make an honest dollar on
Market street any more" Disdaining
work he determined to steal, and Sc
lected Eta Ditty, the proprietress OF
house of i'll fame az Tenth and Chap!lne
streets, as his victim.
O'Neal has been frequenter OF Mrs.
Ditty'S for long time, but he ana the
woman have had frequent quarrels, and
she has told the police to keep him
away. In happier times Mrs. Ditty has
given 0'Neal money, probably to the
aggregate of several hundred dollars,
and early Saturday night he went up to
the house aud endeavored TO borrow
money from her, but failed.
Between half-past FIVE and six o'clock
Yesterday morning O'Neal went TO Mrs.
Ditty's, raised front window, entered
the house, and going into the Madame's
sleeping room, he secured her pocket
book from the pillow under her head,
and started out with the contents,
S35. Mrs. Ditty saw him, and
grasping a revolver, she began to
shoot. Padge started TO run, but slip
ped and fell just in time TO miss ball
aimed with intent 10 do" him. Re
covering his feet, he ran ont OF the
house, down Tenth street TO alley C.,
and up that alley TO Ninth street, down
which he turned. Night Lieutenant
George Gaus was on his way home, and
seeing an excited man without hat
running down the street, he over
hauled him, and found it was
O'Neal. The officer asked what
he had been doing, and O'Neal
started to spin yarn about losing his
nat. Gus shut him off, however, and
told him he had been up to some devil
ment. O'Neal protested his innocence,
and the officer let him go, suppoSing
he had probably whipped Mrs.
Dirty. O'Nea said he was then going
to Jack Forsythe's room. A little later
the fact OF the robbery was reported to
the police, and O'Neal having been seen
to give some money to Martin Maloney,
the day force was instructed to look
him up. About p. IN. Officer Wilke
arrested "Padge,' and thirty-three OF
the thirty-fve dollars were received from
Maloney. "Padge" was then taken be-
fore Justice Davis and sent TO Jail.
Later in the day O'Neal attempted to
give bond, but after a consultation
with Judge PAUL, Justice Phillips de-
clined 70 accept his bondSman, and the
prisoner remained in jail

CONVENTIONS.


Call for Congressional District Couven-
lions for the Purpose of Organizing Dis
trict Associations of Clubs, and Trans
acting such Other Business as May Come
Before the Conventions.
WHEREAS. It's deemed 10 the best interests
Of the party and that it will better serve the
majority OF the clubs to hold Congressional
Conventions, instead OF a State Convention OF
Clubs. and with a view OF making the organi'
zation OF clubs more efficient by the orgSnizs-
ton OF Congressional District Associations OF
Clubs; IL is therefore ordered that Convention
Of Democratic Clubs OF each Congressional dis
trict be held on Wednesday, the frst day Of
June, 1899. at the following places: For the
First Congressional district, at Weston; for the
Second Congressional district, at Charles Town
for the Third Congressional district AZ Charles
ton. and for the Fourth Congressional district
1t Ravenswood; for the purpose OF organizing
District Associations of Democratic Clubs and
transacting such other business as may come
before the Convention. In such Conventions
local clubs will be entitled to the following rep
resentation: All clubs with membership OF
one hundred or less will be entitled to five dele
gates: with more than one hundred aud less
than two hundred, seven delegates. and with
two hundred or more, nine delegates.
The object Of calling said Conventions to
meet at the same time and places as the Con
yentions to elect delegates to the National Con-
ventIon, is 10 afford delegates the opportunity
of attending both Conventions, thereby saving
both time and expense. The County Commit
tees and those heretofore appointed to organize
clubs, and all Democrats who believe in such
an organization OF the party as will make 1t In
yincibe in the coming campaign are requested
to assist in the work OF organizing clubs In
every magisterial district and to have them
properly represented at the Conventions.

GREAT WORK.
Jim Corbett Has an Easy Time With
Philadelphia Fighters.

Jim Corbett Has an Easy Time With
Philadelphia Fighters.
PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-Jim Cor
bett has been here two weeks, giving
exhibitions Of his prowess, and will
leave with q good impression OF his
work imprinted upon the minds of many
persons and upon the faces OF few.
He met all corners, but there were none
who could hit him or could make any
sort Of show against him. His final
wind-up at the Kensington Theatre
nightly has been with Jim DAILY, who is
a clever man with his fists and who is a
local favorite Of renown.
Corbett is In fair condition and the
pugilists who have rubbed up against
him declare that he can hit hard blow,
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Jack Langdon, who fought Mike
Cleary, was easily stopped by Corbett.
Mike Monahan, who won the prize for
the best Of the State heavy weights in
Johnny Clark's tournament and who
afterward made such good showing
with Jake Kilrain, was stopped in one
round. Jim Brady, of Buffalo, quit on
the second round. Jack McVey, Of
Trenton, Sailor Brown and Kelly's I'M
known, a Port Richmond heavy weight,
who had plenty of beef and no science,
all fell before Corbett,
1t now seems certainty that Corbett
will have to meet Sullivan, as the rest
OF those named in the list do not seem
TO be in it. Since he has been here Cor
bett has been hard at work trying to
raise the $4,000 side bet that Sullivan
demands. He has been to everybody,
but the sporting men are chary about
putting so much cash on man who is,
il might be said, unknown in the world
of big uns. Everybody has declined,
up to date, to put up the $4,000 Phil
DIVER would like to do so, but he is
friendly with Sullivan and does not
care to break with John. Some OF
Dryers money may go up, though in
another name.
Corbett's hacker, Brady, who is man
aging the cake-walks in the big cities,
has not so much money at hand to put
on a scrap. But Corbett has found a
friend in some one whom he refuses to
reveal.
