1t is said the populist meetings in
New York, Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-
yania and other eastern states are nota-
bly, larger this year than they were last
year. Over 10000 people assembled to
hear Gen. j. B. Weaver and other
speakers at Mount Gretna, Pa .Wednes-
day of last week.
In the town of Noble, ILL.,, where
sixty-four populist votes were polled
last fall, the old parties had to unite
to beat the new party at a recent
election.
Beverly, Mass, and Kingston.
N. Y, will municipalize their
water supply. In ten years
cities with privileges granted
to private corporations for water sup
ply, electric lights and gas will be
rare.
Madison, Wis, Lexington, Neb., and
Etna, Pa, are moving in the matter
of municipal ownership of electric
lights and water works
The Peoples Press is the name of a
new populist paper at Atchison, Kan.
and the Clear Cut is a new issue of the

Fave you ever known the time
when Dan Voorhees, was true to the
people? He went back on the west in
1876 and in favor OF Wall street, Just
as he now proves a traitor to silver in
the interest of the same power.
The little 'me-too" sheets that have
been talking protection like poll par

Gaunt hunger stalks the land and
Grover Cleveland is fishing. Nero

The Omaha Siftings has quit talking

The Wise County Reformer is a new
Texas peoples party paper. 1t is hard

The receivers" seem to be doing
more business in this country than

ing Cleveland in efiigy, Texas may be
said to be coming.
Gen. Weaver recently addressed
a gathering in New York of more than
100 people. In referring to the
Presidents message he said: 1t was
admirable in the holiness with
which the gold standard was cham
pioned and detestlble in its defiance of
the will and wants of the people.

If the trans-Mississippi states choose
to divert their export and import
trade away from the eastern seaboard
and set up business for themselves

thing to do with the case at all.

If war was declared tomorrow, in

this government to-day.

AFrench doctor wants to introduce
his patent process of preserving the
remains of the dead. 1t is not en-
balming them, nor yet mummifying
them, though the bodies must be en-
balmed before the doctors new pro
cess takes hold of them The new
idea is to electroplate the whole
body, and thus preserve to posterity
the noble lineaments of those whose
estates cut up sufficiently well to al
low the expense. First the body is
embalmed, after which it is dipped
into bath of nitrate of silver It
comes from this bath the color of
polished silver.
After that the face is subjected to
regular electroplating dip and
comes out FURNISHED copper, ready
to be preserved to the latest genera
tons. In order to insure perfect sue
cess the face is vanished, and this is
the last operation. The FURNISHED
copper face is then warranted to re-
main the same for centuries if treat
ed with reasonably good care.-Lon-

WONDERS OF INDIANA.

An Old Timer Got Down Into Georgia Once
and Answered Some Questions.
A citizen of this place tells the fol-
lowing story: A man with a drove
of mules, the man claiming to be
from Indiana, stopped for the night
with the citizens father. The fami
ly had an idea that Indiana was
near the north pole and asked
great many questions about the
country. In answer to questions the
Indiana man said:
Eyes, there the nights are shorter,
but they have more of them and
they are darker" He had seen it so
dark there that you couldn't see the
headlight of a locomotive 80 feet.
He also said it was a good fish coun-
try; that you could not ride horse
across a creek without knocking out
2-horse wagon load of fish, but that
he had only gone fishing once, and
then only caught but one fish, and
when he pulled the fish out of the
Mississippi river the river fell six
inches
He also said it was fine timber
country. A few days before he left
home he cut down tree that meas
ured exactly 100 yards long. He
drove a wedge in the big end, and it
burst entirely open and split thick
ct of 300 feet that was so thick that
you couldn't run fishing pole into
it endways. The place opened by
splitting the log was then being used
for a wagon road. He also said it
was very healthy country; that
only one man had died in 20 years,
and they had to pull his breath out
with a corkscrew.
A young clock peddler was also
spending the night with his father,
and he asked if it would be a good
country to sell clocks. The Indiana
man said no; that they had no use
for clocks; that they kept time by
the growth of pumpkin vines, which
grew five feet every hour. He said
it was the best vegetable country in
the world
Every kind grew well except beets,
and they grew so long they stuck
through into China, and the China
men pulled them through. In an
swer to a question whether it was a
cold country or not he said it was
awful cold. He had seen a blaze of
fire freeze to the back of the chin
ney, and they had to knock it loose
with a pole ax.-Mazeppa Cor. At

Mr.. Gladstone,s Manner

Personally Mr. Gladstone is an ex-
ample Of the most winning, the most
delicate and the most minute cour-
tesy. He is a gentleman of the elder
English school, and his manners are
grand and urbane, always stately,
never condescending and genuinely
modest. He affects even the dress
of the old school, and I have seen
him in the morning wearing an old
black evening coat, such as Professor
Jowett still affects. The humblest
passerby in Piccadilly raising his hat
to Mr.. GLADSTONE is sure to get
sweeping salute in return.
This courtlinesS is all the more re-
markable because it accompanies and
adorns very strong temper, will
of iron and habit of being regarded
for the greater part of his lifetime
as personal force of unequaled mag
nitude Yet the most foolish and
perhaps one may add the most i'm
pertinent of Mr.. Gladstone's dinner
table questioners is sure of an elabo-
rate reply, delivered with the air of a
student in talk with his master.
To the cloth Mr.. Gladstone shows
q reverence that occasionally woos
the observer to a smile. The callow-
est curate is sure of a respectful lis
tener in the foremost Englighman of
the day On the other hand, in pri-
vate conversation the premier does
not often brook contradiction.-Man

English and American Rails,

The English railroads use much
heavier rail than is commonly used
in this country, and for a simple rea-
son-namely, the cheapness of steel
and the costliness of timber. Cross
ties are scarce in England, and for
that reason few of them are used,
only about 1, 600 to the mile, while in
America the average is from 1900 to
5000. The further apart the ties the
heavier the rail must be, SO while
the rail used on most of the roads in
this country weighs from 63 to 70
pounds to the yard, that on the Eng
lish roads is from 80 to 100 pounds

Value of Newspaper Advertising.

A curious instance of the value of
advertising is reported from New
York. There is a physician there
who advertises largely, publishing
his portrait in the newspapers with
the advertisement. A few days ago
he received a letter from the west on
the envelope of which there was not
a word of address, nothing but the
portrait of the man, which had been
clipped from a paper and pasted on
the envelope. Every clerk and post
man who handled the letter knew
the face and it was forwarded with
out a moments delay. People read
advertisements, evidently, and re-
member what they see there. There
is no such road to notoriety as the
columns of a newspaper.-NewO Or

A Brutal Husband Whips His Wife and Sub
iHCtS EEar q Indirnitiaa.

Evansville, Ind, August S.-rhc peo-
pie of Dale, located on the Louisville,
Evansville and st. Louis railroad, between
Lincoln and IIuntingburg, are worked up
to Il high pitch over the conduct of Jacob
Webey, farmer in that vicinity, His
wife sWore out a warrant for his arrest,
charging him with gross brutality.
Webey was arrested.
His wife AYERS that he stripped her and
whipped her with Il bIacksnake whip be-
cause she was too weak to clean some
debris out of a brook on the farm. Blood
was drawn from her body and limbs be-
fore the woman escaped from the house.
She was pursued considerable distance.
Her cries of pain and terror aroused some
ncghbors. and through their intervention,
Mrs. Webey succeeded in returning home
and DOMINIC her clothes.
Webey was threatened with bodily harm
if he again raised his hand against his
wife. The next day these same neighbors
insisted upon the lady having her husband
arrested. 1t also developed in the tes-
timony that We5ey has subjected his wife
to disgusting indgnities for some time,
but she has bourn them in silence. Webcy
was fined 500. There is Il band of white
caps not far from Dale, and the belief is
that they will get Webcy if he cuts any
more capprS.
