took the study of theology, afterward
uniting with the Christian Church and
entering the ministry. He preached for
several years in Northern Indiana, and
ten years ago was called to the pastorate
of the Christian Church at Danville, this
State.
In 1886 he was nominated by the Re
publicans of the Fifth district for Con-
gress, but was defeated by g. G. Mat
son, the Democratic candidate. Two
years later he wasna candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor, but

rial chair. In 1892 he was a candidate
again for Governor but was defeated by

y
dletown. While attending the district
school he helped his father, who was
hotelkeeper. He was very willing and in
,dustrious, and with his first 500 he pur-
chased a stage route between Middletown
and Hummelstown. He was successful
in this venture. and, mt the age of 10,
having saved several hundred dollars, he
purchased canal boat and this he ran
for nearly a year. He went into the lum-
ber and coal business in Middletown. He
became connected in business with Gen.
Simon Cameron and the latter made him
a director in his bank.
In 1859 he purchased limestone quar-
ry, which for twentyseyen years he OPP
Grated with great profit. In 1886 he sold
the quarry and purchased real estate in
the form of farms and at the time of his
death he was the possessor of thirteen
farms, comprising more than 5000 of the
most highly cultivated and productive
acres in the keystone State.

State Reports.

AIichigan-As far as can be learned tho
frosts of Saturday night did but very
little damage except on the high ground
of the central part of the lower peninsula,
where fruits, corn and garden truck were
nipped. Beside the garden truck, which
has been killed outright, Strawberries
seem to have suffered the worst. Esti-
mates now place the State crop at less
than half the usual yield, a direct loss to
growers of close to $15O,O0O. The cover
ing of snow is believed to have preserved
all grain from serious injury.
Indiana-Fruit, vegetables and grain
have been killed in many sections of the
State, central Indiana being the only Sec
ton that escaped with moderately small
loss. In the southwestern section pota-
toes, beets, tomatoes and melons were
killed, and whole fields of cornwere frozen
stiff and turned black under the rays of
the burning sun. Though the fruit was
protected to some extent by foliage,
grapes. cherries and apples suffered great
ly, and it is questionable If onefourth of
a crop will remain. Ice in many localities
was from one-fourth to one-half inch
thick.
Ilinois-Frost has reduced the pros
poets for an abundant sultply of grapes
probably 80 per cent. Cherries suffered
to some extent, but it is thought little or
no damage was done to apples or peaches.
Potatoes, beans, tomatoes and other gar
den products were cut down and destroy
ed. Early corn was somewhat damaged.
Wheat and oats are all right.
Iowa-Corn in spots has been nipped to
the ground, and garden truck badly dam
aged. Otherwise none of the reports in
dicate any permanent damage either to
corn. small grain or small fruit. Tomato
plants and vegetation of similar kinds
were ruined. Potatoes. beans and peas
were slightly injured, but will recover.
Corn along the Burlington Road on the
main line, west and south, is scarcely in
jured at all. The fruit also escaped, as
the foliage, being more luxuriant than
usual, played a prominent factor in pre-
serving them.
Nebraska-The damage TO fruits Is esti-
mated to I've enough to reduce the crop
one-half Small grain suffered very little.
Patches through the State show ten to
twenty acres of corn ruined. This is only
In the lowlands. Damage to other grain
very light. Those fields of corn known
to be damaged are being prepared for re-
planting at once. The acreage, eonse-
quently, will not be decreased.

not already lodged. We have met and
talked with farmers from Illinois and
Ohio, and they all tell of the same condi-
ton of affairs"
A Chicago paper says: Damage to win
ter wheat is conceded almost everywhere.
The movement statistics favor holders ex-
cept in the matter of clearances. Un-
usual movements of wheat are reported
daily. One day it is n sale to Canadian
millers in face of a duty. The next day
it is shipment of wheat to st. Louis, and
the next local sales to Kansas City millers.
Western railroads have provided for this
unnatural movement by making rates on
wheat to be moved back West.

received by her from many cities, all up
holding her refusal. The young men had
crowded into their seats at the commence
ment of the performance past Mrs. Grif-
fin and party of ladies whom she was
with. When the curtain fell on the FIRST
act they asked permission TO pass out
again, and Mrs. Griffin said they could not
do so. They protested and even called
the police, but Mrs. Griffin remained seat
ed and the manager said she could not
be compelled to let any one pass in front
of her until the end of the performance,
and the young men were made to sit
down. A storm of applause followed,
which, together with the newspaper COM
ments which have since been made, show
ed the manager so plainly that the people
considered the passing out between the
acts nuisance, that he has cancelled the
door-check system, and the nuisance has
been abated.

Nebraska Farmer Sues a Railroad 70
Failure to Observe the Law.

Nebraska Farmer Sues a Railroad for
Failure to Observe the Law.
A Nebraska statute imposes penalty
of $500 for each failure of a railway COM
pany to have its trains whistle at the pub
lie crossings, and one-half of the fine goes
to the informer. The matter will be test
ed for the first time. The suit was begun
by Alonzo B. Miller, of Lyons, Neb.,
against the st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha Railway Company. The plaintiff
sues for $7S,900 Miller resides on a farm
near a railroad crossing and has kept an
account of such failures to blow the whis-
tie of passing trains between May 4, 1894,
and Aug. 8, 1894, and noted 1878 such
failures. The petition consists of 526
sheets Of typewriter legal cap.

sion In Washington.
The final day of the great national con-
vention of physicians in Washington was,
as Is usually the case, given up largely to
the transaction of routine business. The
most important business done was the
election of officers for the ensuing year
and the reading of the annual paper on
State medicine by DIR. III. ID. Holton, of
Vermont. DIR. Holton's address dealt
generally with some of the problems the
State. must deal with to protect it's citi-
zens from disease. Among the points en-
phasized was the Importance of State
boards of health. He insisted that they
should be given ample power and latitude
in carrying out what they considered for
the best interests of the people. He en-
dorsed heartily the action being taken by
the association to secure a national de-
partment of public health. He also ad-

A very interesting question has been
raised as to whether, in view of the de-

ty-six States of the Union, which in 1897
received from the general government de-
posits amounting to over $2S,O00.O00,
could be made to refund. The first few
months in 1896, Congress having refused
TO extend the charter of the bank of the
United States, found the Government in
possession of between S40,000000 and

Severalweeks ago ex-Gov. Ira j. Chase

and soon after reaching Lubec was seiz-

from time to time spoke of the disease, but
he did not apprehend serious consequences
and no tuneasiness was felt by friends.
Saturday, however, telegram was re-

BUNCH YOUR VOTES.
The Bicycle Riders Have Friends to
Help Them.
Sylvester Leads Dexter One Vote.
Giles Holds Third Place.
Heavy Vote.

The returns at s o'clock showed
evidence OF Sylvester's growing
strength in the contest for a place
in the big race that Will take place
next month. The record he made
in the midsummer events is con-
sidered by his friends to be suffi-
cient grounds for pushing him
ahead. The vote cast yesterday Is
an indication OF what will be done
next week. Dexter has friends, too,
and from yesterdays vote it is evil
dent they did not think it neces-
sary to canvass for him. 1t is said
by some of the people who know a
sure thing when they see 1t that
the bulk OF DeXter's votes will be
cast on the last day or two OF the
contest. and that it will be a three
cornered fight between Giles, Angus
and himself to get alongside OF
Sylvester in the race.
The boys who want to get In and
who believe they have a show for
it are keeping themselves in condi-
ton by active training every day.
They are after the wheel and when
the race comes off it will be a hard
fought fight for supremacy. As
was mentioned Yesterday 1T Is use
less for people to cast votes for
others who they know perfectly
well will not 90 In the race and Tor
the mere pleasure they may derive
from seeing their friends name in
the list. If this paper continued
to publish a full list OF votes 1t
would take one whole side OF the
paper To hold them. For that
reason the rule has been es-
tablished that only those hav-
ing ten votes or over will be
printed. The tally sheets will be
filed and compared each night, and
rs these individuals accumulate
votes To the number of ten or more
their names will appear on the list.
Owing to the accident that oc-
CURED to several OF the wheelmen
last night it has been proposed
that the III. \. y. G. race and the
ADVERTISER race be each postponed
one week, having the first on No
vember 9th and the second a week
later. No action has been taken
In the matter, nor can 1t be said
there will be.

ROWAN COUNTY MEETING.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
The county Alliance of Rowan county
met in session with Halter Shops ALI
ance on the second Thursday and Fri
day of this month. We arrived on
the ground at IL o'clock with the presi-
dent, and while the other officers and
delegates were gathering in, the good
brethren and sisters of Halter Shops
Alliance spread a sumptuous dinner.
The table fairly groaned under the
goodies that were heaped thereon.
After partaking of the good things
prepared, and the appetites of all were
thoroughly satisfied, there were an
abundance of provisions left. Promptly
at Up. M, we proceeded to the Alliance
Hall, which was properly arranged.
The meeting was opened by the Presi
dent, Bro. f. B. Brown, in due form,
after which we proceeded to business.
Everything moved along smoothly and
nicely. At 4:30 p. m, motion pre-
vailed to adjourn until s a. m. Friday.
Before ~adjourning, it was announced
that a public meeting would be held at
the hall that night at 7:30. At the
appointed hour, the house was filed to
its utmost capacity. There were sew
eral ringing speeches delivered by Bros.
Brown, Fisher, Richie, Earnhardt,
Turner, Shenck and others. All Off

cared for over night by the good breth-
rem of Halter Shops. Next morning
at the appointed hour we were at the
hall ready for business, which was re-
opened by the Vice-President, Bro.

Bro. Wilkinson and myself being
delegates to County Alliance from
Aurora Alliance No. 1877, which met
with Old Ford Sub-Alliance, / left
home Wednesday morning a few min,
utes past z o'clock, and, as per agree,
ment, was met by Bro. Wilkinson
about n mile above Aurora, which
is about eight miles above where I live.
After a very pleasant ride we arrived
at Washington about 2 o'clock.
We visited the court house to inquire
into the affairs of the county, having
been able before hand to get hold of a
copy of the State Auditors report
and seeing nothing said about any in
d~ebtedness of Beaufort county, and
finding that the laws require that a
statement of the indebtedness of each
county in the State be made to the
State Auditor to be printed in said
Auditors report, and knowing the
county to be in debt, we found, accord
ing to the finance committees report,
that the county owed, last June,
81, 540.71, drawing 6 per cent. to sundry
parties. Also, that 81, 500 in bonds had
been issued to G. M. Brown, a banker,
who is also One of the board of county
commissioners, running to 1923 at 6
per cent. interest. I find that it Gre
ates quite austir when one of the ''com-
mon herd" like myself, does have au-
0acity enough to inquire into county
affairs.
We left Washington about $50
o'clock and drove out to Bro. ]. g..

we received it. Owing to an initiation
that Old Ford wanted and did confer
upon a brother, we did not meet at ten
