Sure, efficient, easy-Hood's Pills.
First at the Goal.


A trifing incident which is worth
remembering because the names connect
ed occurred at Spot Pond, in Stoneham
Massachusetts, one day during the early
days of this century.
A pleasure party was driving that way,
and when they came to the lake, the
ladies exclaimed over the water-lilies in
blossom there, and expressed the most
eager desire to gather them; but alsa
they were too far away to be reached,
except by boat, and lamentations were
many over the disappointing state Of
things.
At length Daniel Webster exclaimed:
ooh, if I were as young as I was few
years ago! would ransack the shores
until found some boat or boards by
which could reach those lilies"
No sooner were the words out Of his
mouth than nearly all the young men Of
the party bounded off in search of means
for lily gathering. One only, Samuel J.
May, then student in college, remained,
and the glances of surprise with which
the ladies viewed his lack of spirit be-
came almost contemptuous.
Nevertheless he stood by unmoved
until his comrades were well out of sight,
and then calmly waded into the pond
and gathered the lilies. Shouts of APP
plause greeted the exploit, and Mr..
Webster was not behindhand in COM
mending it.
"Ah, sir" said May, "the ladies owe
these lilies less to my gallantry than to
your eloquence. l could not stand your
appeal unmoved."
81 have never before gained a lily by
my eloquence," said Mr.. Webster.
"No SIR" answered young May, "but
it has often been crowned with laurels."
Joking and laughter were at their height
when the other young man appeared,
dragging an old dory, only to find the
entire party adorned by lilies.

From Washington Economist:
A work that is of much value to Mon
tesano is now under way across the
Chehalis river. We refer to the Vesta
road. The citizens of North river can
justly complain of the miserable road
facilities that they have had in the past.
The road now being built commences
south Of Montesano and will be built
through the woods to Vesta, a distance Of
about ten miles. About thirty men have
been employed there the past ten days,
and they had built about four miles Of
road by Saturday last.
Mrs. w. J. Starr, wife of ex-commis-
sioner Starr, was taken seriously i'll at
her home in this city on last Thursday,
and continued to grow worse until Satur-
day morning about four o'clock when she
died. Her sudden death was caused by
heart trouble and blood poisoning. Mrs.
Starr had lived here for the past three
years, and was one of the most highly
accomplished ladies in the city, and was
esteemed by all. She leaves a husband
and little daughter to mourn her loss,
and the bereaved family have the SYM
pathy OF the entire community in this
their greatest hour of affection. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Cruikshauk at the home on First and
Broad streets, Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock, and the remains taken to their
final resting place in the cemetery west
Of town.

A HOT FIGHT IN OHIO.

Cincinnati, Aug. s.-Wnl the democ-
racy of Ohio stand by President Cleve-
land, or by the platform on which he
was elected? That is the question to
be solved within the next thirty-six
hours and there is no man in or out Of
Ohio who can predict the result with
confident accuracy. Half dozen can
didates are in the field. Neal, who
framed the tariff plank in the last
democratic national platform, and who
is a rabid free silver free coinage man,
is in the lead. Neal has declared that
he viii abide by the Chicago platform
and his followers are democrats of the
unterrlfied stamp who will stick to him
as long as there is show of his nom
nation. Ex-Governor Campbell and
his friends make no denial of the fact
that they are with the administration
and that they are out to beat Neal,
Campbell himself, viii not be eandl-
date.

ADJoURNBD -TILL TOMORROW.

washington, August 9.-The senate
met and without transacting any bus
mess adjourned till tomorrow on mo-
tion of Gormon. The yeas and nays
were demanded by Platt, and resulted
4S to 21. This will be the day of the
caucus.
The house adjourned till Thursday to
give full scope to the silver men for
consultation. The anti-silver men have
been led to expect by expressions OF
the silver men that no filibustering
will be countenanced.
The negative votes were all republic
cans, Pfeiffer, pdpulist, iof Kansas,
voting with them and Kyle, populist,
of South Dakota, voting with the dem
ocrats. The democrats all voted for
adjournment and were joined by the
FOLLOWING g-named Republicans; Dubois
of Idaho, Jones of Nevada, Perkins Of
California, Power of Montana, Shoup
of Idaho, Stewart Of Nevada, Teller
and Wolcott of Colorado.
After the adjournment of the shouse
the friends Of free silver held a caucus
and adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, that we will support the
bill repeating the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act, and concurrently
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver with full legal ten
der quality, on such ratio as will pro-
vide and maintain the parity between
gold and silver. Be 1t further resolved
that a committee of seven be appoint
ed by the chairman of this conference
to draft and introduce such a bill.
The committee was then named as
follows: Bland, Sibley, Boatner, Lane,
Bankhead, Bryan, and Bailer. The
name of Culberson, the chairman Of
the committee was afterward added.
The democratic senators also eau
cussed. After a two-hours session the
caucus adjourned without reaching a
conclusion as to its line of policy. The
subject Of silver repeal will not figure
in the senate for few days, for its
purpose is to adjourn from tomorrow
till Monday.

DOUGLASS RETALIATEs.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-In the suffrage

greatly wrought UP by Stephen ,.
Weeks, professor of Trinity College,
North Carolina, who read paper on
negro suffrage. The professor said.
Negro suffrage is failure. II must
must remain failure so long as It Is
not an ally of the white vote. The
Southern people will not submit to
domination. The white man must rule
No man who had not lived in Negro
land knows what negro domination IL.
1t means the destruction Of property,
ruin, and bankruptcy"
When the professor finished. Doug
lass made an impassioned reply. "You
are not afraid of negro domination"
he said, 1.-THE negro can never rule
this country. lie would be outvoted by
6O,OOO,OOO Of whites There is no oppo-
sition to the negro in the South, until
he asplres to rise. II he asplres to be-
come lawyer or a doctor, he at once
becomes an upstart."
