1t is certainly true, foT one thing, that
consumption has decreased. Labor's hands
are idle. II is all he can do to retain lis
hold on the ''teeter." He has no money to
spenu.
In period of depressed industrial ac-
tivity like the present, when consumption
is 50 materially decreased, even if there be
no unusually large production. no power on
earth can sustain prices. The farmer will no
longer find ready market aad good price.
Money is hard TO get, it does not circulate
freely, ana prices drop. 1t is hard on the
farmer, it is hard on the laboring man.
it is hard on the capitalist. There is u gen

PEPs!A OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Sert-
Gus Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is form OF indiges-
ton resulting from fermentation or the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest it the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas, and bitter, sour, burning
taste in the mouth is often present. This
condition soon becomes chronic and be-
ing an every day occurrence is given but
little attention Because dyspepsia Is
not immediately fatal, many people do
nothing for the trouble.
Within 4 recent period IL remedy has
been discovered prepared solely TO cure
dyspepsia and stomach trou bles. 1t is
known as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as a radical cure for every form
OF dyspepsia.

DIED IN THE STEEPLE.
Patriotic Edward Lush Climbed
Aloft to UnfurI the Flag.

Philadelphia, Nov In an effort to dis
play his patriotism by giving the Stars and
Stripes to the breeze from the highest
point he could reach young Edward Lush
lost his life in the sterple OF Roxborough
Baptist Church. Al Is probable that Death
resulted by heart disease, superinduccd by
the exertion incident To the young mans

About o'clock Saturday morning young
Lush who is twenty years old and son Of
Martin Lush, whose residence adJoins tine

flag from the top of the sevent y-five-foot
steeple- His seventeen year-old sister and
ten year-old brother accompanied him 10
the church yard
Taking two small flags Ind one large one
u nder his arm, Edward assembled the
stairway TO the base OF the steepie, and
then began to climb up TIE inside, wnicn

About fifty feet up he hung out the large
flag from the belfry window, and WAS
checred from below by the brother and
sister.

platform, and the young man reached 1t

flags through q small window just above
the platform. Then it WAS quickly with
drawn, and that was the last movement
seen by the two watchers in the church
yard.
After waiting for some time without sec
ing or hearing their brother, the two chil-
tiren went home and told their mother II
Edwards strange actions. Dinner time
arrived, and the children went to the yard
and called in vain for thcir brother to come
down from the stceple.
Thoroughly alarmed 10y this time. Arthur,
the -ycar-uld boy, notified George Gall y

tie church. of Lis hrothci's disappearance.
After some persuasion, Gateway Consented
to ascend the Stccpic, and there on the little
platform, seventy fiv feet above the ground.

occurs to me, we shall see that the farmers,
forming one great division of the masses,
are at one end OF a great "teeter- board;"
all those engaged in other industrial pur-
suits, and forming a like grand division of
the people, are at the other end. And in
the middle of the board, erect, with arms
folded, stands Capital, quietly enjoying
the even, stimulating and not too violent
motion occasioned by the two riders at either

Facts About the New System-De-

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-The first train will
be run over the Paramount Electric Railway
in Il few days. The rolling stock has been
made by the Brill Company, and consists Of
thirty motor cars and thirty trailers, each
having a capacity for sevehty-two persons.
They are made up into trains consisting Of
one motcr car and one trail car.
The motor cars are equipped each with
four &C. L. 1000" motors. electric brakes
and two X. controllers, which regulate the
current actuating both motors and brakes.
The trail cars are equipped with electric
brakes on all four aNles. Both motor and
trail cars are equipped with especially
powerful hand brakes in addition to those
already mentioned. Each of the cars is
mounted on two four wheel trucks. The
wheels are thirCy-three inches i'll diameter,
and four inches tread, with extra heavy
nanges.

BOGUS BALLOT BOXES.
Some Said to Have Been Sent to
North Carolina.

Raleigh, N c.. Nov. Both the Populist
and Republican State chairmen have letters
informing them that something like 1 80 bal
lot boxes with false bottoms, made in Ba:.i-
more, have been sent to this State.
The Republican State chair man says he
was informed by telegraph as soon az the
boxes were shipped from Baltimore by cy-
press, and is told that they We're sent to
Weldon. lie says he has no proof that they
reached this State. When asked what he
thought was 10 be done with the boxes he
said the purpose was to raise rows at she
-oting places and then substitute these
boxes for the regular ones.
Tie Populist State chairman says he has
10 details and makes no statement as to fny
use of the boxes. The Democratic State
chairman laughs at the statements regar.:-
ing the boxes, and says they are utterly
without foundation. Some Democrats say
that if any such boxes have been sent 70
North Carolina they are for use by Repub-
Leans in the Fifth Congressional district
and perhaps in the Ninth They also say that
the ntmatiIn that the Democrats plan any
riots or disturbances at the polls is utterly
untrue.
The Progressive Farmer. the organ of the
National Farmers Alliance, says editorially
that at meeting OF the national Demu
cratic committee the question of having
disturbances on election day in North Car
olina was discussed. Democrats say this is
false in every respect.
The be,ief - tHd5 the story as to the
false bottom ballot-boXes is fake and
absurd. The Populists and Republicans are
