HARPER'S
Pictorial History
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I63xIIt inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots Of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford SIS and kept asking for the
Old ."Harper's Weekly during the
War. " After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce,
But the big history was SO inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com.
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 70 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-bettcr
than ever beforehand has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de.
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers OF priceless historic value, all

And now San francisco wants an ap-

the housing of the State commissions
which now have headquarters in the bay
city. Then comes $500, 900 or more for a
building. We are directly opposed to
the scheme. The State Commissioners
ought every one to have headquarters at
the State Capital. What's a capital for,
anyway? Put all State boards OF every

METEORIC JAR.
Heated to the Boiling
Point by the Visitor.

Tacoma, Wash, June 16.-A
special to the Ledger from Port
Townsend, Wash, says: Last
night at s O'Clock at Chitticum,
a small farming community
four miles from here, experien-
ced a terrific jar, the result of
the falling of a 5000 pound
meteor, which burst with a
loud noise at the height Of 100
yards and after causing a
small sized cyclone for several
minutes duration, buried itself
in the muddy water of neigh
boring lagoon. The meteor
struck the bottom with force
enough-to break crockery in a
farm house three miles away,
creating terror among residents,
who believed the end of the
world had come. Ten hours
after the occurrence the waters
of the lake were still bubbling
and seething and were found
to be hot enough to readily
cook eggs. Systematic dragging
of the lagoons failed to bring
up any traces of the meteor,
which is believed to be buried
deep in the earth.

Silver King-that is the Pres
idential candidate. The Pops
could not stand this, neither
could the old Democrats, who
felt that once they cut loose
from the Democratic party the
hope Of Office might become a
remembrance of the past.
We are to have no distinct
silver party, but we are to have
very much stronger Populist
party to contend with if that
party falls heir to all the dis
content in the Democratic and
Republican parties. Should the
Dem ocratic party become COM
mitted to free coinage, then the
Republican party will have to
face the combined silver party.
At any rate, the Memphis
convention has not cleared the
road for a well defined issue.
The character of the speeches
made at Memphis was not of
the first order-tlere was q
great deal of wild buncomb, of
spread eagle oratory, but an
aridity of plain argument and
we'll established facts. It SEEM
ed more like a convention of
soreheads than Of American cit
izen who had come together to
deliberate upon Il financial
problem.-San Antonio Ex-

THE MEMPHIS
CONVENTION.

The recent silver convention
that met in Memphis is more
noted for what it said than
what is did. 1t was a great con
vention in point Of representa-
ton, and the prominence of its
leading spirits But it was a
case of great cry and little wool.
The leading silver Democrats
concluded to fight the silver
fight within the ranks Of the
Democratic party. They believe
that the Democratic party can
be captured at the next Ma
tional convention for free silver
coinage. The Republicans did
not figure to any large extent
at Memphis. 1t is now settled
that the Republican party will
go into the next fight as the
champion of honest money
for a good dollar, whether it be
gold, silver or paper. The Pop
ulist party steps to the front
and claims all that may be left
over from the Democratic, Re
publican and pure silver par
ties. In fact, the Popullst par
ty claims to be the godfather
and godmother of the silver
party.
One thing seems plain, the
Memphis meeting was a failure,
in that the out and out silver
its were downed. The attempt
to organize a distinct political
party failed.
There were on hand the
friends of Congressman Sibley
OF Pennsylvania, who labored
ever SO hard to commit the con
vention to the plan Of emitting

A Sailor Alleges He Was
Cruelty Beaten On the
High Seas.

Galveston, Texas, June ~
Today John NJ. Reyes, a sailor
on board the British ship An
rina, had Capt. Smith, in com
mand Of that ship, before the
British consul on a charge of
cruelty on the high seas. Reyes
alleged that son the morning
of Feb. IS, few hours after
the vessel left Calcutta, 1 was
at the wheel, when the aptain
complained that l was a half
point off my course and before
I had time to reply repeatedly
struck me over the head with a
Delaying pin. The blood poured
from the wounds and as l ran
away from the captain I fell
from the poopdeck on to the
main dock and was bruised
considerably about the body.
The second and third mates
kicked me about and I was
forced to 60 back to the wheel
and steer, although I was so
weak from the loss of blood
that l could scarcely stand by
the wheel. I was relieved at
s o'clock and went to my bunk,
washed my wounds and tried
to sleep. At noon Twas order
ed on deck, but I was sick and
unable to work. The captain
said that I was disobeying or
ders and ordered me placo Il in
irons. 1 was kept in irons five
days and for forty-eight hours
was strung up by my hands to
the masthead. This is only a
part of the cruel treatment adj
ministered to me by the captain
and mater of the vessel As
a verification ofhis story Reyes
pulled off his cap and showed
four sears on his head which
looked as if they had been
made with some blunt instru-
ment.
The witnesses summoned by
the complainant corroborated
Reyes statement. The captain
and three other witnesses test
flied that Reyes drew a knife
on the captain and the latter
acted in self defense. The con
sui, after hearing the evidence,
dismissed the case and ordered
Reyes back to the ship. Reyes
and his witnesses then went
before United States Commits
sioner Byrne. He decided he
had no jurisdiction in the
case.
Reyes is a Mexican who for
merly residedin San Diego, Cal,
where he became a naturalized
american citizen. lie and his
witnesses declare they will not
return to the strip from fear of
being roughly handled.

LOCAL CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRER

Ihey Make Arrangements For the APP

An enthusiastic meeting of the local
Christian Endeavor Union was hold in

ters pertaining to the approaching con-
vention were discussed and much in
terest manifested. H. A. Gillis is
chairman of the en- tertainment commit
Tee, having in charge the securing of
homes for the visitors, and reported the
need of more assistance in this limo. 1.
is his desire that any Of the Christian
people of tho city who can conveniently
entertain ono or more of the delegates
advise him OF the fact at once.
Many OF tho minor details OF the CON
vention meetings were considered. hut
especial emphasis was laid on tbs plac-
ing OF the delegates. Most of these
young people will arrive on the after
noon OF Friday, November go, and re-
main until Monday. Programmes of
the convention meetings can be OBJ.
