ness troubles in connection with his paper,
the Representative, at Minneapolis. An
effort was made to prevent the getting out
Of his August IL edition by an element In
the party which is attempting to minimize
his influences. Mr.. Donnelly is Q man with
whom all Populists cannot agree on all
things at all times, but his honesty Of pur-
pose, his fidelity to Populism and his worth
to the cause are immeasurably greater than
that Of the men who in local State affairs
are opposing him. It is to be hoped that

the nomination Of Altgeld, the present Gov

S. F. Norton, who was the middle-of-the-

Louis convention, says: "Not to have
nominated him, thereby insuring his elec-
tion, would have been little less than po-
litical crime. No matter what political
party Governor Altgeld may affiliate with,
he Is in all respects fitted for any Office the
people may call him to occupy. In fact, ii
our gubernatorial, Congressional and Pres
idential chairs were filled with just such
men there would be no need Of Populist
party"
A New York scientific institution has
been investigating sunstrokeS and has
come to the conclusion that the suns rays
are not the direct causes Of this trouble but
that the real cause is that the secretionS OF
the body are so modified by the atm0S-
pheric conditions Of extremely hot weather
that some Of these secretions become abnor-
NAL, either In quality or quantity, and are
absorbed by the blood and act as viru ent
poisons. Experiments were made by in
| fusing blood, from cases just after they had
been stricken, into animals, and they were
afflicted with convulsious In an hour and a
half, and death usually resulted. The
physicians experimenting are satisfied that
sunstroke is merely blood poisoning.
