A special to the dailies is this :
"The story comes from Dover that j.
e. Mckinley, aged thirtY-fve, and
Mrs. Mary Grove, eighty-three, will
venture on the sea of matrimony.
Mckinley is school teacher from
Ohio, and Mrs. Grove is the widow of
Hon. Jerry Grove, a former Mayor OF
Dover. She is wealthy and rumor
has it that marriage contract gives
Mckinley $4,000 cash and $1,000 per
annum. Mckinley was in Maysville
this morning and cashed Mrs. Groves
check for round sum. The APP
preaching wedding is current rumor
on the streets and much talked Of"
General Coxey, on his march to
Washington, takes time to be inter-
viewed.
"The farmer sticks out his horney
hands, in his plain, stolid features, in
his walk, in the fit of his clothes. A
fondness for sweet potatoes for butter
milk and fried things and custard and
pie is shown in the cut and swing of
his mouth. On his head is a brown
Tyrol hat, the worse for wear and
somewhat stained at the lower edge of
the ribbon. He sits in a chair with
one arm flung over the back, with his
shoulders dropping and his stomach
sunk in, with his legs crossed at the
knees in that curious way than lets
both feet rest on the ground"
In speech he is voluble but not ex-
cited. He tells you that Carl Browne
is partial incarnation Of the deity,
that he himself is Andrew Jackson in
new robe OF flesh, that the millennium
is at hand in the quietest way in the
world, much as he would say, "Pass
me the applebutter."

Coxey ?"

"Cood roads and the non-inlerest-

''And what may that be ?"

body poor and nobody hungry and
everybody like every body else.
Sand how are you going to bring all
this about?"
"By legislation. That's what we're

MAKING DESPERATE EFFORTS.
Populistic Attempts to Work" the
Brother in Slack.

Brother in Slack.
Atlanta, Ga. sept. 13.-Information
has come to campaign headquarters
showing that the populists are concentra-
ting their work on the negro voters.
They are doing this work in q way that
is peculiarly effective, and Chairman
Clay wants to put the people on notice
of the afiiation with the negro voters of
the pOpulist demaEOgues, who are after
their votes. According TO the lnfOrma-
ton received the pOpullsts have or
gained in each militia district what
they call a steering committee These
committees consist Of five workers, who
spend their nights in going about among
the colored people, making house
TO house canvass. They put them
selves in the most intimate relations with
the cOlored voters. staying with them for
hours al time, and frequently making
several calls upOu the same parties 10 es-
Ia blish the desired friendly relations.
Then all sorts of promises Of recognition
of the negro by giving them Office are be-
ing made bv the pOpulisJs. BY such means
the negroes have been pledged TO vote
their ticket in large numbers. Chairman
Clay does not feel at all apprehensive
about the result of the election, but wants
70 put the people on notice Of the work
being done among the negro voters.
Judge Hines refusal 10 meet Mr.. Atkin-
son in Joint debate did not create much
comment at democratic headquarters.
% To those who have been keeping posted
about the populist plan of campaign, the
judges refusal was no surprise at all. u
Is not the purpose Of the pOpulIsts to sub
NIT their case to argument with the demo
cratic leaders. They realize that they can
not stand up TO a good old democratic
speech. Judge Hines is no match for Mr..
Atkinson on the stump, and the latter
really did not expect that Judge
Hines would accept his challenge
when he sent it, but the boasts
of the populists made it necessary
70 call them down. The pOpuhst man
ayers themselves are sore over Hines re-
fusal. There was quite a lively row among
them on account Of it. They wanted their
leader TO show his mettle although they
knew he'd geta fine drubbing at the hands
of Mr.. Atkinson. Some of Judge Hines

THE WOMAN WHO EATS.
Heretofore She Has Been Starving
Herself in Aristocratic Fashion.

Herself in AristOcratio Fashion.
From the New York Ledger.
Somebody, who displays enough good
sense to start millennium, says that the
coming woman will be a success Just in
proportion as she learns to eat. For gen.
erations past women have lived on bread
and butter-naker's bread at that-and
tea and warmed-up potatoes. Sometimes
they were warmed up in milk; sometimes
IN fat or butter: but they were warmed
over potatoes all the same
Now this is a dish that is we'll enough
IN its way, but it is not alarmingly pro-
Iltlc in the productive of brain material
The coming woman is going to eat all the
good things of life. She will eat the best
she can get on all occasions. and as much
of it as common sense and an intelligent
understanding of the needs of her system
will dictate. Exit teapot and bread and
butter, and in their places we will have
good soup, well cooked meats if one cares
for them, plenty Of milk, eggs, butter and
fair share of the weet things of life
For the coming woman is to be an out-of-
door creature, and can consume pure sac
charlne matter in reasonable quantities
to excellent advantage. Perhaps she
will make her own confectionery If she
does so much the better, for she will be
more certain that it is made of proper
material.
Women have been starving themselves
to death in a systematic, sympathetic and
| aristocratic fashion for good many
years and il is quite time that they put
a stop to it. The apostle of healthful de-
velopment is telling them it is out of the
| question to keep a good fire in the phys
ical furnace without proper material
There are many people who are under the
doctors care, and who swallow no end of
| nauseous drugs and drink all sorts of vile
! fasting and smelling waters, when the
most that they need is plenty of good food
to eat and all of the out-of-door exercise
| that thew can bear

THE CLOUD WAS ALIVE.
A Vast Swarm of Winged Ants Nov
ing Swiftly in the Sky.

while driving home from Oneida last
Friday" said farmer who lives in the
extreme western part of the county, Il
saw big cloud moving due north over
the fields and woods. There wasn't any
wind blowing, the air was still. and was
unable TO account for the presence of a
big black cloud speeding away across the
heavens on such a still, bright day.
AT first thought that it was a cloud
of smoke from the railroads, but then
when | first saw it the cloud was in such
position that it could not possibly have
come from the West Shore railroad, and
even if IL had, there never was a cloud of
smoke hung so closely together and so
long as that did. AS | sat in my wagon it
appeared to me to be mile long and a
mile wide, but, of course, that part of it
was a speculation, for no one can make a
very accurate guess of the size of cloud.
The body in the sky was as dark as the
smoke from locomotive, and looked to
be quite dense. II Travelled quicker than
any cloud ever scudded before a thunder
shower in this section. When it first at
tracted attention it was high up in the
heavens, but it rose and fell several times
like the soaring of a bird. Once it was
but a few feet above the top of some
woods. Again it took an upward course,
and continued onward in an answering
north course. 1t was about 5 O'Clock that
the cloud passed.
That evening noticed a number of
reddish winged wood ants about on the
grass and in the roads. 1t occurred to
me that the strange cloud in motion
might have been a cloud of these flying
ants. The more pondered over the phe-
nomenon the more l became convinced
that it was cloud of ants that passed
over the country. Such a story was too
big for me to tell, although there was
proof enough of the fact for my mind, SO
l held my peace and simply spoke to my
family of the strange cloud. Others had
| seen IL, too, yet none suspected what it
was, and we finally dismissed it. O
"A day or two afterward l was in Con
stableville and there the farmers told me
they had seen the same thing. There
was no doubt about it either, for mum
Der of them watched the cloud and at
that place it passed so low that they
caught the insects in their hands. They
were the same flying ants We compa red
notes and found that it required just an
! hour for the swarm to move from the
place where they were first seen to Con
stableville. The distance 10 straight
line is thirty one miles. They were il
! Oneida county at o'clock, and at just {
o'clock they were seen in the north. The
ants continued northward, and nobody
has told me where they stopped"
