This concluded the work OF tile
convention and a few moments were
INDUCED in listening to the remarks
made by members OF the ccnven-
ton. f. c. Erickson vas called
upon and he outlined the purpose
OF the convention, adding that the
bar, With scarcely an exception, was
in favor of the rentmination of
Judge Smith, of Yankton, the pres
ent incumbent Oh the bench of the
circuit court for this district. "The
Judge" said Mr.. Ericsson, us n man
of sterling worth, whose impartiality
and manifest fairness in the diff.
cult cases which have come before
him have gained for him u repu-
tation scarcely ever possessed by
any Judge in the state. He has
maintained and earned this reputa-
ton since his ascendancy to the
bench. 1t was only the other day
that l heard three Independents,
leaders Of their party, declare that
it made no difference who was NOM
mated by the Independents they
would themselves vote and use all
their influence in getting other
members Of their party to vote for
Judge Smith. Such acts cannot do
otherwise than bring a feeling OF
pride to all members Of the Repub-
lican party when it possesses within
it's ranks such honorable men as the
present Judge OF tliis circuit"
Remarks were also made by
Chairman Ames, NJ. B. Kent and
John r. VanKeuren which we're 10

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative I; eflectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

A EATAL CRASH.

Express Trains on the Grand Trunk Rail-

Three Badly Injured
BELLEVUE, Mich, Sept. Ss.-A bad
accident on the Chicago &c Grand Trunk
occurred at the station here at o'clock
yesterday morning. Express train No.
B, westbound, which was two hours
late, was standing at the station when
1t was run into by the Erie express,
also westbound, demolishing special
car attached to train No. 8. The spe-
cial car contained Cashier Meredith, of
the Chicago & Grand Trunk road, and
his wife; Henry A. Newland and wife,
father and mother of Mrs Meredith,
William Costles, porter, and William

Mr.. and Mrs Newland were killed

party left Detroit Tuesday night for a
ten days visit to the worlds fair. Mr..
Newland Is the senior member of the
firm of Henry A. Newland & Co., whole

land Is a daughter Of Hon James r.

Train No. was made up of nine
coaches all heavily loaded with worlds
fair visitors and the special car Of tho
paymaster OF the road. Number 0,
the train that ran into No. 8, only had
four coaches, but they were crowded
with passengers No. left Charlotte
only ten minutes ahead Of No. o. The
first train stopped at olivet, five miles
east Of here, on signal, to take on
passengers and lost time. 1t also
stopped here and was Just pulling out
when No. Q, running forty miles an
hour, crashed into 1t. The special car
was telescoped. The roof was hurled
into the ticket Office Of the station,
completely demolishing 1t, leaving only
the telegraph instruments. The tele-
graph operator had just stepped out
side and escaped instant death. The
rest of the special car was broken into
splinters. The rear end Of the sleeper
next to the special was crushed in but
no one on board was hurt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newland were instant
ly killed. The colored porter was in
jured internally. A large piece Of wood
was driven into his groin. He cannot

Prize Liar of Angora-

Angora has the curious reputation
of having gained a prize offered to
the man who could show himself to
be the greatest liar in the world. A
former sultan-so runs the story-of-
fered golden ball for lying. Many
lied TO him, but the sultan replied that
he could himself lie better. Finally
an old man from Angora appeared be-
fore him with large jar on his shoul-
ders- "Your father" he said, "bor-
rowed jar like this full Of gold from
my father, and said that you would re-
pay the gold to his SON." 'Impossi-
ble," said the sultan. III the story be
true" replied the pilgrim, pay your
fathers debt; II impossible, have
won the golden ball" The sultan at
once awarded him the prize, and there
still lives at Angora a man who Is sup
posed to be descendant Of this inge-
nious liar, and who is known by the
name of Altentopoghlon, the literal
rendering Of which name is "Son OF tho
golden ball. ."-London Truth.

stretches Of morass and moorland on
every side, occasionally rising into
heathery knobs or hillocks, or strewed
with huge pieces of stone like the
moors of Cornwall. Presently the open
moorland ended, and we entered re-
gion of sandy hilloclSs, sparsely orna-
mented here and there with long, harsh
grass. If one could imagine the waves
OF the ocean, at some moment of wild
agitation, suddenly frozen to stiffness,
and retaining intact these tempestuous
forms, 1t would give some idea Of the
hillocks l am describing. They rose
on every side of the road, completely
shutting out the view, and their pale,
livid yellowness, scarcely relieved with
a glimpse of greenness, was wearisome
and lonely in the extreme. AS we ad-
vanced among them, the road we were
pursuing grew worse and worse, till 1t
became so choked and covered with
drift and sand as to be scarcely recog-
nizable, and need hardly say that 1t
was hard work for one horse to pull
the caravan along; more than once, in
deed, the wheels fairly stuck, and Tim
