SILVER MEN TO BOLT
THE CONVENTION UNLESS THEY
CAN HAVE THEIR WAY
Regarding the Financial Plank - Pro-
gram That They VIII Adopt-ReaiiHe
They are Hopeless Minority-Dyna'
mite Being Used by Insurgents.

st. Louis. June Ex-senator Teller of
Idaho and Representative Icrtmon OF
Montana joined Senator Teller here last
night. There is no longer any doubt Of
the purpose of these radical silver men
to bolt the action of the convention I'M
less they can have their way about the
financial plank. They realize that they
are in hopeless minority and they
have carefully laid their plans to walk
out of the convention.
The program they have arranged VIII
probably furnish the most dramatic
and sensational incldentof the conven-
ton They intend as n preliminary to
marshal all the strength they can IN
the committee resolutions for silver;
they know they will fall, but instead OF
their attempting to secure com
promise 1t will be their plan to throw
their strength in the committee to
force, If possible, the adoption Of Il
straightout gold plank, believing THAT
an emphatic solid declaration will M,
them in more advantageous position
for what is to follow. AS one OF them
said tonight: IF the republican con-
vention can not he right, we will sea
that it is honest"

Rrooksville Fla, June 13.-John W.
Crum, one OF the most prominent citl-
zens of Hernandez county, was assas-
sinated last night near this place.
The assassins were concealed in
clump Of bushes and fred on Crum as
he passed, filling him with buclSshot.
Crum was man of strong personal
lty, and some of his friends believe he
was assassinated for political motives.
Years ago, however, he took part in the
Tillet-Whldden feud, in which six men
were killed, and it is possible that his
assassination was an echo of that
feud.

DOCTOR HARTMAN.
Offers Relief to Sick Women for tho
Asking.


1t is at this time of the year when
the weak, nervous woman is most pros
trated and least able to perform the
daily routine of duties which fall to
her share. She has no ambition, and
her work drags upon her at every step.
1t seems never to be completed and
she never feels able to go on with 1t.
AS rule, she keeps bravely at it, often
accomplishing and patient, until she
breaks completely down and can go no
further. 1t is to these tired listless,
unhappy women that DR.. Hartman
offers advice and encouragement free.
If all such women will write to Dr.
Hartman, giving a full account of their
troubles, he will answer promptly free
of charge and tell them what to take
and what to do to make new women
of themselves. His advice costs moth
ing, and the medicines arc not expen-
sive. Every woman who follows his
advice is greatly benefited, and the
great majority are completely restored
to their youthful health and strength.
Every woman may have a copy of
Dr. Hartmans book on female Diseases
1t is an invaluable book for the class
of women to whom it is written. This
book will be sent free to any woman.

The people of the United Kingdom Of
Great Britain and Ireland continue to
sustain the reputation OF being very TO
bust drinkers. They number at the
present time 80, 100000, and the total
cost of their wine, beer and alcoholic
liquors, divided by this sum- shows
AN average expenditure Of $lS.1S per
annum for every man, woman and child
in the realm. Contrary to the general
impression, the English drink more
than the Scotch, and the Irish less than
either The ratio of the English OK
penditure for drink Is S19,40, the Scotch
$14.70 and the Irish S13.12 per head per
annum. These ct least were the figures
of 1895, which seems to be considered
a banner year in drink anpals-a cir
cumstance which inquirers of the tenn
perauce persuasion attribute 20 the &C.
curence of the parliamentary elections.
The entire drink bill of the kingdom
for last year reached the impressive
total of SIP, 100000. OF this amount
$203 500 900 went for spirtuous liquors
mostly whisky and gin; sos 100000 for
wines; $435 100000 for beer, ale and
porter and $500 900 for cider and bev-
erages. Liberal as this expenditure
may seem, the general Average'of liquor
consumption in England tends to de-
crease. In the ten years, 1S61-T0 the
consumption of beverages Of the spirit
nous class was 0.941 gallon per head Of
the population per annum; in the fol-
lowing ten years it rose to 1190 gallons
falling again during the ten years end
ing with 1890 to 0.9SS gallon. So with
wines, the consumption for the first
period was 0420, for the second 0542
and for the third 0.9SS gallon per head
per annum. OF malt liquors the aver
age annual consumption for the first
period was 2795. for the second S155
and for the third 27.77 gallons per head.
The most potent influence in dimin-
ishlng the consumption of liquor in
England are scarcity Of work and low
wages.

Eloetric-sy NoJecIted From water.
From many Observations and eXpcr-
iments M. Phi. Lenard finds "that
drops of water falling upon water or
wet bodies generate electricity, the
water becoming electrified positively.
and Tho gas escaping negatively cleo
trihed from tho force of the fall, and
light impurities in the water diminish
the effect considerably. The essential
conditions OF electrifcation are the,
conclusions among the drops of Thorn,

effect being due to the waters fall

As to ProsneritY.

In regard to permanent prosperity,
promised the country, the st. Louis
Republic says:
How much of the reported revival
of enterprise since the election is po-
litical buncombe and how much is real
cannot be told until opportunity is
given for comparison in the CONNER
cial reports.
But there can be no doubt of a gen.
uine and substantial revival following
the settlement of the issues of the
campaign. The removal of the I'M
certainty which paralyzed business for
months before the election would of
itself produce renewed activity, and
more than this, the conditions favor a
business boom.
For several years this country has
been engaged in taking account of its
enterprise and iiquidating its indebt-
edness. Millions of debts have been
called in at home and abroad. Nearly
all lines of manufacturingand business
have been conducted within very con-
sentative limits.
The country had before been IN the
position of a business house which has
been opening new territory and en-
larging its business. 1t had done an
enormous business on borrowed cap
ltal, but it met with checks and was
compelled to draw in and square ac-
counts. When the pinch is over it
will enter upon a new era of prosper
ity.
Things have been brought down to
rock bottom and despite financial con-
ditions that might be improved, it is
highly probable that we have started
on a fresh boom. The resources, the
people, the energy and the brains are
here to make a large measure of pros
perity, though not the largest of which
we are capable.
Another factor, in addition to the
iowness of u own stock of goods,
which favors prosperity, is the lowness
OF the stock of grain in Europe. Two
markets, therefore, want the products
of our granaries and mills.
We can well afford to take a rest
from politics to start and keep the
wheels of commerce humming. The
mark of good times will probably go
as high as the people choose to make

THIRTEEN WERE DROWNED.
Collision Between Schooners Causes
a Loss of Lives.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. GA marine
tragedy occurred here tonight. The
schooner Maggie, Captain William
Blundon, while entering this harbor
with Is persons aboard, was struck by
the steamer Tiber, Captain John De
Lisle, which was steaming outward at
full speed. The schooner sank from
the force of the collision, carrying
down with it Is persons.
-Four of these were women, one the
wife of the captain and another his
sister. A young married couple named
Power and a brother and sister named
Holloway are those drowned.
The passengers were coming to st.
Johns to procure their supplies for the
winter before navigation closed. Those
who escaped were kept afioat by the
aid of planks from the schooner's
decks and were picked up by the
steamers boat and brought back to
the port by the pilot boat which had
the Ttber in tow. The Tiber continued
on her voyage.

are those whose mothers have been,

woman in the world will fall short OF
her duty to her children if she is wor-
ried and wearied with weakness and
sickness. Most all irritable women are
sick women. Most all melancholy list

Every woman who will take the
trouble to notice, will find that at GER
tain fixed periods she is nervous, cross,
irritable ana respondent. Any irregur
larity makes the conditions worse.
Even a well woman is less amiabIe
than usual at these times. What can
be expected from a sick woman?
When every movement is a dreary
drag, when the nerves are all on edge
in sympathy with the particular ones
affected-when it seems that death
were very much preferable to living
what can a woman do for children
then?
1t is every woman's duty to be well
and healthy. There is no reason why
she should be otherwise if only she
will take proper care of herself and
take DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Preserip-
ton when she needs it. This cele-
brated remedy has been used in the

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Republicans Claim the State by 444
Votes.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. S.-The fol.
lowing statement was given out to.
night at s O'Clock from the Republican
headquarters:
practically complete official re-
turns give Mckinley 444 plurality in
Kentucky, unofficial adviees indicat-
ing that the four missing counties will
increase rather than decrease these
figures The Republicans elect four
members of Congress and a Judge of
the highest court of the State for an
eight-year term, and by the filling of
vacancies have secured a majority of
two in the General Assembly on Joint
ballot, which insures q Republican
successor to Senator Blackburn.
"The total vote in the State will an
proximate 425 900; an increase of TO-
600 over last years vote and 25, 600
more than the highest estimates be-
fore the election. The Republican
vote increased about 40, goo over Gov
ernor Bradley's vote a year ago, which
was 1900 higher than ever before
cast IN q presidential election, and the
vote was $4,000 higher.
These figures win give some idea of.
the intensity of the political struggle
through which Kentucky has Just
passed.
