Strawcs sometimes show which
way the wind blows. Here is one.
When if was desired to stretch n
Bryan and Sewall banner across the
street in Brooklyn where the Bryan
demonstration was to be made it was
impossible to find a place where there
were silver men opposite to each 9TH
er on that street, and when a vacant
room was found opposite a silverite
place and the flag stretched, it was
ordered down by telegraph as soon as
the owner heard of it, which was in
few hours. Funny was it not?

commend Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy to their customers. Many Of them
have used it themselves, or in their
families and know from personal expe-
rience it's great value in the treatment
of coughs, colds and Group. They
know too that their customers are their
best friends and naturally wish to give
them the most reliable medicine they
have for those ailments. Messrs.
Daugherty Bros, prominent druggists
of Indiana, Pa, say, 1--WE sell more Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy than Of
any other cough syrup, and always

in the market" For sale at 25 and so

There is OOthinS creditable in that
demonstration made at New Haven
by the Yale Students ON the occasion
of the appearance of Bryan. Mr..
Bryan is entitled to a decent hear
ing everywhere. Intolerance in
Colorado on the part of the free sill
verites should not be followed by in
tolerance in Connecticut on the part
of the sound money Democrats. There
is this consolation in that demonstra-
ton. and that is that Yale college has
always been the hot bed of Democrat
cy. 1t is not Republican.

FARM ENRICHED BY FLOODS
Indiana Man Profits by the Recent Heavy
Rainstorms.

Ex-County Recorder C. B. F. Clark.
of Indiana, visited his Carroll county
farm the other day and was surprised
to find it largely increased in size and
value. The farm is on low, boggy
ground. Last year the soil took fire and
burned from May until Christmas, con-
suming seven acres of the productive
land, leaving depression of several
feet in depth where the soil was con-
sumed. On visiting the place the other
day Mr.. Clark found that the recent
floods had washed the soil from neigh
boring farms onto his own, completely
filling up the seven-acre pit with rich,
loamy earth, though several acres Of
his corn was destroyed in the landslide
that Injured to his benefit. His farm is
now worth as much as before the bog
fire, and the neighbors have no redress
unless they choose to haul their lost
soil back in wagons.

SCIENCE, MERCY AND MURDER.
All San Francisco Discussing a Minister'S
Sensational Plea.

sensational Rleas
A popular discussion has been started
in San Francisco by a sermon preached
by DR.. c. w. Wendte, one of the lead
ing pastors of Oakland. DIR. Wendte,
speaking of incurably i'll or mortally
wounded, asked: "Why seek, as now, to
prolong their agonies? Why exhaust
resources of medical science to keep
them in misery? Would it not be a
more Christian act to put them gently
out of pain? God speed the day when
men shall rid themselves of theological
and personal prejudices and act as JUS
tice dictates and mercy requires"
The minister cited many cases where
men injured in disasters or wounded
in battle pleaded in vain to have COM
rades end their sufferings. His sermon
brought forth food of protests, the
burden Of a majority being: 'Thou
shalt not kill"
