PARKERsBURG, w. VA, August 10
The meeting of the National Farmers
Congress 10 be held here October So, Is
an honor which seldom falls TO the lot
of a city the size OF Parkersburg, and
for that reason great preparations are
being made for the entertainment OF
the delegates.
The organization is non-political and
one Of the most important In the United
States. The Governors of every State
in the union have appointed as many
delegates as there are members OF both
branches OF Congress from each State,
also delegate from their State AGri-
cultural Boards aud delegate
from each agricultural eX-
periment station. In addition
the Governors Of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia,
have appointed honorary State dele
gates-one from each county. West
Virginia will do likewise. The
treasurers Of the fifteen counties
in Ohio, nearest this city,
have appointed honorary county
delegates, one from each township. Up
20 this time the sheriffs of ten out Of
fifteen West Virginia counties adjacent
TO Petersburg have appointed honor
ary county delegates from each dis
trict. At least 1000 delegates are ex-
pected here, and as they will be accom-
panied by ladies and visitors the city
will have large crowd to entertain.
To do that an Executive Committee
Of our leading citizens, the City Council
and the County Commissioners have
taken hold of the matter As the
meeting here will be OF vast importance
to the State, a committee will leave to-
! morrow for Charleston 10 Interview

ty Nominations.
spEealtO the r custer.
PHMPPI, w. VA, August 19.-The
Republicans held their county conven-
tioH here yesterday. 1t was prefaced by
their district conventions held FRIDAY.
The district convention held at the
court house was quite interesting, for
Democrats. but quite humiliating for
certain Republicans. Gran. Grant,
a prominent merchant, was proposed
for a delegate to the county
convention, but was promptly defeated
by colored man named Isaac Ken
nedy. William Outright was proposed
for delegate, but was defeated by q
colored man bY the name OF John Male.
Next we notice Ballard ShatTer, life
long Republican, proposed as dele
gate, but he was defeated By colored
man by the name OF Isaac 5. Male.
But it was not eaded yet. Big
Charles 7. Teeter was there doing MS
best 70 look like Tom Reed, and he was
run as q delegate and beaten by col
ored man named John w. erosion.
Little Dayton was there, but he
will be candidate for Congress if FL
Rins is willing, and he would not run
the risk OF being beaten by colored
man, so he rubbed his hands, backed
down and left the convention. The
other eight delegates from Philippi
district are white men, and were elected
without opposition from the coored
people. There were other white men
proposed as delegates, but who had 20
be dropped to please ths colored people.
The nearby candidates and delegates
appeared early In the morning. The Kit
tles-George, Writ and Warren-were
boiling. George, candidate for the
Legislature, Writ, candidate for Sher-
if. NJ. c. Lough was called as tempo
rary chairman and said In his address
that there was some things he would
like to say, but he could not. He did
say that the convention looked TO him
like some one was on trial for his life.
J. II. FELTON, was made permanent
Chairman and M. c. Lough, Secretary
FELTON, had been kicking for a week
about the action Of the Senatorial Con-
vention, so he had to be honOred. w. B.
Corder and +. NJ. Kitte were placed be-
fore the Convention for the Legislature.
the Kittle soon broke and Corder was
nominated. lie claimed to own ninety
Democrats and has their names on
book. or course John Howell must go
on the ticket-he runs every election,
is always defeated, aud still thinks the
people want him.
Writ Kittle had enough honor by be-
ing chairman of the district meeting
and did not want to be sheriff, and
thus ended the Kittles. II. E. Hoff
was nominated for County Commits
sioner, aud young Mr.. Zirkle for Su-
perintendent of Schools.
It is understood here that the Right
family at Bslington are 20 DO the riding

the value to health of the pure liquid

God and morality" party. But now it
spelled God with small x, and had no
particular use for morality. MEN OF
smaller mold and baser motive were in
control" The magnificent engine had
run off the track into the bog of corrup
ton, and nothing was left of it
but its steam calliope attachment
playing Marching Thro' Georgia.
The Democratic party had OPP
posed every progressive move and
as soon as it was accomplished had come
forward to claim the credit. The sltua-
ton OF affairs was not improving. Thirty
years ago we boosted that Uncle Sam
bad farm for each OF his children.
Now witness the mad rush at Oklahoma.
Then farmer was thriving respected
citizen, often with money to loan. NOW
he is "hayseed." The tariff had
nothing to do with it as England with
free trade and Germany with protection
were alike suffering. 1t was the balelul
effect of an evil financial system. u am
a Populist because OF all parties 1t alone
recognizes these evils and their source"
The speaker summarized the platform
of the Populist az follows: 1t could be
classified under money, lands and trans
portation. The first demand is for
national legal tender currency, issued
by the government directly to the
people, to the amount of $50 per capita,
and at per cent. Incidental to this
was the abolition of national banks
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF
16 to l, postal eavings banks, and the
adoption of the sub-treasury plan OF
the Farmers alliance, or some better
plan. Second, government ownership
- fal
lines. Third, prohibition of their owner
ship of lands and reclamation from the
railroads OF all lands not actually needed
for traffic purposes. the address was
frequently interrupted by applause.
Next Saturday evening +. NJ. Porter
will speak on Why Am Prohibition

provides q free lecture on Hoosier dia-
lect, as exelnplified in the poems of Jas.

New Theory About the Missing Pasa-
denan.
San Diego Union; The opinion ia
held by relatives and friends of L. @.
Winston, who was lost in the Sierra
Madre mountains last November, that
he might have been the insane man
found on the desert some days ago by
E. P. Cleland of Mesa Grande. Upon
returning from Yuma Mr.. Cleland re-
ported that he had come upon man in
the desert evidently insane and suffer
ing greatly from thirst and exposure.
Clelsnd caught the man after hard
chase, and took him to ispring, hall
mile distant, where, after rest, the
wsnderer appeared to improve, though
unable to regain speech. He was put in
charge of an Indian, who agreed to care
for him until he WAS able to make him
self known. No description of the man
has been obtained from Mr.. Cleland.
Although Mr.. Winston has been miss
ing since November 18th last, those
who are working on the case are in
clined to the belief that he may have
wandered as far south as the Colorado
desert. On the date mentioned, Win
ston, in company with Charles Brown
of Pasadena and Palmer Reed of Sierra
Madre, was seen camping in Buckhorn
csiion, about 10 miles northeast of Camp
Chll.eo and 80 miles northeast OF Pasa-
dana, at the eastern end OF Waterman
mountain. During a heavy storm on
that day, Winston left camp to search
for the burros of the party, and was
never seen again. He is believed by
many people to have persisted in the
storm. He is described as 40 years old.

The NEWSPAPER Reformation.

Some time since tho women of Cali
fornia resolved to reform sensational
journalism. The San Francisco Exam
liner took kindly to the ladies' scheme
and afforded them a mouthpiece for their
utterances to the public. One of the
things the women did was to publish an
appeal to newspapers all over the land.
In the interests of morality the petition
asked the papers henceforth to give as
little space as possible to the details of
crime and Of occurrences that would be
apt to fire the imagination and set peo-
pie young and old off their heads. The
petition had 1900 signatures of Cali
fornia women.
Attention has been aroused by the
petition. Several prominent editors have
expressed opinions in regard to the FEAST
bility of suppressing the details of I'M
pleasant facts and legal trials. But
there is one rub. It is that editors must
publish what the people want to read.
Mr.. Edward H. Clement, editor of the
Boston Transcriptymakes the following
suggestion to women everywhere 1t
shows them how at one blow they may
stop Objectionable journalism:
The spreading out of the details of crime and
vice operates as a direct Indictment to more
crime and vice. do not expect that the press,
which exists solely for money making pur-
poses, will give over the practice arraigned so
long as 1t is profitable. That which will stopit
is the boycott. Let the 1900 women, not con-
tent with merely signing these petitions, refuse
TO receive into their homes papers guilty of
filthy reports-and the thing is done. The peo-
pie have the remedy in their own hands.
Kate Field of Kate Fields Washington
speaks her mind in characteristic, vigor-
GUS English thus:
Proprietors Of newspapers go into journalism
70 make money, as rule, just as other men go
into other business. People cannot live on sem
timent alone. They ask what is the largest
audlence-the vulgar, the ignorant, the half
educated, the undisciplined. What's the use
Of giving such people food they will not eat
because they've no taste for it? II is like plac-
ing Chateau Lafltte of the finest vintage before
creatures who have wallowed in chain light
| ming whisky. They want something that hits
| hard.
| So the publisher gets his big audience, which
| he needs TO pay expenses, by supplying them
with the food they like best. Tho marvel TO
| me is, considering the low tone of the public
| and say this rs one who loves my country,
| that the standard Of the press is as high as it is
| today.
What have said comes as an editor of ma
! tional review that has never fallen below my
own standard Of right and wrong, has never
| pandered to sensationalisrn, knowing full well,
however, that had ! lowered the standard
| should today be rich woman instead of a
| very poor one.

Announcements.
Billy Emerson, the star OF all burnt
cork artists, will be the great attraction
at the Burbank theater the coming
week. Mr.. Emerson comes here on
special engagement OF one week only
at the urgent solicitation OF his old
comrade of the stage, Fred Cooper, the
manager of the Burbank theater, and
for the seven performances the king OF
Ministries an immense salary which he
has always been fortunate in receiving.
Emerson has just returned from a most
successful engagement in Australia and
intends to make his home in San Fran
cisco, and it is stated he is going to re-
vive the old Standard theater of that city
with a irst-class compsny before long.
Mr.. Emerson has always been a great
favorite in the Golden Gate city and be
is big drawing card anywhere. All Of
tie leading managers of the country
have eagerly endesvored to obtain his
services, but Manager Cooper luckily
captured the prize for a short season,

career he will appear at a popular price

that rate the Burbank can congratulate
itself upon securing the greatest min

Unfortunately. Mr.. Emerson will not
appear in burnt cork during his short
stay in this city, which his many old
time friends will sincerely regret, but
his white face csricature cannot be
surpassed, and in Muldoon's Picnic he
displays his great ability to advantage.
Mr.. Emerson will be supported by a
first-class company, including Charles
Mccarthy, William Cronin, Dan Cree
Ian and others, and the piece never had
better cast. Emerson intends here
after to present the old-time minstrelsy
with no operate Hamlet Macbeth

sidered the greatest mimic and i'm
