New YORK, April 22.-As a result of
swallowing a piece of chewing gum
Thomas Haggerty, aged IS years, who
lives in Peekskill, is in Il critical con
dition and likely to die.
A week ago he was taken suddenly
i'll, complaining of a severe pain in his
bowels. DR.. Erdman, of Bellevue
Hospital, was sent for, and performed
an operation. On examining the con-
tents of the vermiform appendix a
small wad of chewing gum, which had
choked the organ, was found. The
operation was a success, but the dam
age already done has caused the doc
tors to give up hope of saving Hag-
gerty's life. He is said to have been
an %inveterate gum chewer, and acct
dentally swallowed the gum while

FOR M'KTNLEY.

Recognizing the condition of our
country and the evils brought on by
the ascendency of the Democratic par
ty, and realizing the great need of
placing one of Americas greatest
statesmen in the exalted position of
President of the United States, we,
the Republicans of Audrain county in
mass convention assembled, desire to
SO give expression to u convictions
in regard to the next chief executive
of the Nation; therefore,
Resolued, By this convention, that
we recognize in the clearness of econ
omic principles, in the incorruptible
character, in the loyalty to America
and American elements of statesman
ship that few men possess, and that
the person who embodies these char
acteristics is entitled to the support of
every Republican throughout this
great commonwealth and, therefore,
we join the hearty efforts of this con-
vention with friends from every State
in placing upon our banner the illus
trious name of William Mckinley for
the next President of the United States.
Resolred, That it is the sense of this
convention that we favor the largest
use of silver consistent with its parity
with gold and other circulating me-
diums.
Resolged, That we heartily endorse
the course of our representative in
Congress, the Hon. w. M. Treloar, and
pledge to him our warm support ut
the coming election.
The reading of the third resolution
caused an ominous silence to fall on
the room, and when a motion to
adopt the resolutions as a whole was
made an amendment was Immediate
ly offered to adopt them all except
that one regarding the financial ques-
ton. Several gentlemen made short
speeches on the adoption of this
resolution. ]. B. Allison, III. ID. Hun
ter and ]. G. Parrish favored the
adoption of the whole report without
voting separately on the financial
resolution, while Chairman Frank
Friar left the chair and made speech
favoring the striking out of this reso-
luton, leaving the report of the COM
mittee free from any expression in
regard to the financial question.
James Scott, of Loutre, was also OPP
posed to the resolution remaining.
Seeing that trouble was about to en-
sue, the motion to adopt the report as
a whole and also the amendment were
withdrawn and a motion was made
and carried to adopt the report in
sections.
This resulted in the unanimous
adoption of every resolution except
that one regarding the financial ques-
ton, on which there was a divided
vote, the 'fayes" being in the ma
jority, however.
At the suggestion OF Chairman
Friar the hat was passed around for
the "benefit of the party" and the
convention adjourned.
Immediately after the convention
adjourned a very prominent Repubh-
can came up to the representative OF
the LEDGER and earnestly requested
that "as little as possible be said about
| that financial resolution business"

.The interest in the construction OF
highways wnicn characterizes our
time" SAYS Professor Shader, of Har-
ward University, lis a good part due to
the invention of the bicycle. The wheel
carriage. propelled by foot-poWer is g
relatively old contrivance, but until
the last quarter of g century the ma
chine adhered to the old type of the
four wheeled vehicle. 1t required the
hardy spirit of our time TO lead the IL
yeration to the conjuncture that a man
might ride on but two wheels. In this
social Importance the bicycle deserves
to rank next to- the railway and the
telegraph among the inventions of our
waning century, The use of these We
hicles. the number Of which is now %
be reckoned by many thousands, al
fords to those who employ them con
slant object lessons as to the condl-
ton of our highways. Where man
is drawn by a horse he needs to nave
a very keen sympathy with his beast
in order to perceive how apparently
slight differences in the condition of the
roadway may greatly vary the amount
of strain which is put upon the pro-
pelling agent When, however, his own
thews are employed, every little acct
dent Of the way makes a deep impress
on his body. Thus, every cyclist be
comes a critic of the highways he ira
verses: and, as these people are scat
tered far and wide all over the land,
and are of station TO make them
selves efficient developers of puoEc
opinion, we have through art gained
very stimulating influence in favor of
better roads.

At the TabernncIe.

At the tabernacle service yesterday
afternoon, which were held at the
customary hour, the sermons We're
preached by Elders George Stewart
and D. Fl. Cannon and President
Anthony w WINS.
Elder Stewart, who has just COM
pleted a mission to Scotland reported
his evangelical work in that land. He
began by informing the Saints that he
would rather talk to sinners in the
open air than to the people of God at
home. He had been followed by mobs
in England, but God had supported
the elders, and they feared nothing.
Elder Stewart advised all young men
in Zion to go on mission whenever
and wherever called. 1t would, he
said be a setback to their whole
career if they refused. An elder, when
in the missionary field for only few
months, could meet any Sectarian min
lister in debate.
1.-THE people" he continued, SAY they
have no time to read tracts. Yet
when we preach to them the everlast-
ing gospel, it causes a division in their
midst. With al the opposition we
received, we baptized altogether fifty
souls in two years.
1.-THE voyage was very rough, but,
as an old man on the ship said, God
takes care of his people, and When
Latter-day Saints are on board there
is no danger

said in conclusion. IF we had done
this we would not be in the straits we
are now in"

who led the people astray.
