POLITICS WERE DULL.
REPORTS AT DEMOCRATIC HEAD
QUARTERS ARE ENCOURAGING.
TIE BIG BELL MEETING TONIGHT.
Promises 90 he Rousing Affair
The Coming of William Jennings
pryan-Tbc Editor Of the Times Not
Candidate for Congress.

Yesterday was an exceedingly dull one
In politics Beyond the humdrum rou-
tine work at the various headquarters
little or nothing occurred TO relieve the
Inonotony. At the Democratic headquat-
tiers. the Office force was busy sending
out campaign literature Among the
visitors TO call upon Secretary Button
was DR.. a. :. Priddy OF Charlotte. He
declared that the Democratic party IN
mis- county was in excellent shape and
would roll up a big majority for Bryan.
Another visitor was Hon. William b.
Petit, OF Fluyanna. one Of the leading
silver men in Virginia. He brought cheer
ing reports from his section.
Secretary Button is more than pleased
with the situation. The letters he is re-
ceiving assure him that the country peo-
pie were never before so much aroused.
and the whites viii vote almost soldiy
for Bryan.
THE BELL MEETING TONIGHT.
The Mozart Academy Of Music Will no
doubt be crowded tonight when Deputy
Con missioner-of-P Pensions Bell viii de-
liver an address under the auspices OF
the Bryan-Sewali Club. OF Richmond. ~
every place at which Mr. Bell has spoken
thus far in the campaign. he has re-
ceived the most flattering notices from
the press. The meeting tonight VIII De
presided over by Judge Flournoy, preSi-
dent of the club. and Hon. Tazewell FL
lett will probably introduce the speaker.
The monster meeting OF the cam
yaign however. viii be the one 70 be
addressed by Hon. William J. Bryan IN
Richmond on the evening Of october
18th. II is thought that the largest au-
dience that ever assembled in this city
will be present to hear the Democratic
presidential nominee on that occasion.
Excursions will be run here from every
section of the State.
MI. BRYAN WILL NOT RUN.
1t was rumored here yesterday that
MIR. Joseph Bryan, editor Of the Times,
would consent TO become the nominee for
Congress from this district, on the sound
money ticket Mr.. Bryan. however. de-
MED that he had any intention of allow
ing his name TO be used in that connec-
ton.
There was much talk upon the streets
yesterday regarding the meeting held by
the Boltocrats and Republicans at the
Academy of Music on Thursday night.
The "straight-out' Democrats did not at
tach any significance 10 the enthusiasm
the audience evinced ar times, but on the
other hand considered the chances OF
Bryan and Sewall TO carry the State Of
Virginia were even stronger than ever.

GETTING TO BE A BIG BOY NOW
Anton Moehty, Though but 10 Years Old.
Is Five Feet High.

From the New York World.
The largest boy in the world is An
ton Mochty, and he is a peasant boy,
living with his parents, well-to-do peo-
pie at Haindorf. in lower Austria. He
is 10 years old. This growing Colossus
weighs at the present time $50 pounds,
his breast measures 40 inches from
aGYnpit to armpit, and his head is p
inches I'm diameter. He is exactly 5
feet high. AS a child he was so phleg-
matte that he refused to learn to walk
for four years after his birth. With
the beginning of his fifth year he be-
gan 10 creep, and after a little while
learned to walk. When a baby Anton
was thought rather small. His mother
nursed him until his fifth year, and he
took little solid food before that time.
on his sixth birthday when there was
a party at his fathers house, the boy
first attracted attention on account of
his large features. During the last two
years he has gained over 20 pounds In
weight and two feet in height.
Nature gave Anton six toes and six
fingers on each hand and foot. All are
well developed and well shaped, except
that the small fingers stand out from
the rest. The joints, however work like
those of the other fingers. Anton's
footgear Is expensive. His wooden
shoes, as we'll as those of leather, must
be made TO order. He wears his fash-
er's trousers. coats and vests, shirts,
underwear and hats, and would be
taken for young man of 20 II IL were
not for the freshness of his complexion
and his youthful manners. Where ma
ture is so generous in one direction she
must be expected to even things up. So
Il happens that Anton is by no means
n bright boy. but, as in the case of NJ.
Cano- Berg, he enjoys average intelll-
gence and a sunny temper. In his will
age they call him the rubber ball."
on account of the rotundSty of his fea-
lures.
The causes that contributed to the
boys extraordinary size are as yet hid
den TO the scientists who have under
taken to explain the phenomenon. He
comes from normally built parents, and
his numerous brothers and sisters are
distinguished neither for largeness nor
/ for extraordinary toes or fingers. An
I ton has never been a big eater.

A Dubious Outlook.

Fergus County Argus: The prospect
for any legislation for the relief of the
treasury Is very remote from present
indications. The bond bill is still in
the hands of the senate finance COM
mittee and when II energies will prob
ably contain an amendment calling
for the free coinage of silver. There is
little doubt but the bill would pass the
senate 50 amended. but its fate in the
house is not so certain. Even should II
receive the approval OF the latter Pres
ident Cleveland would attach his veto
with a gold pen. The outlook is du-
bious
