Corn Popped by The Sun.

Theodore Roberts, of ST.
Croix, Ind, planted five acres of
popcorn on his farm, four miles
from there, last spring. A few
days ago he noticed that the
shucks were abnormally swollen,
and that the ear seemed to be
larger than when it began to
ripen, a thing contrary to corn,
as shrinkage is the rule. Mr..
Roberts found that seven-eighths
of the grain had popped open
and was capped with the white
pulp as though it had been in the
fire. Some of the cora tastes as
sweet as when newly popped,
but the greater part of it is dry
and tasteless. The phenome-
uon is attributed to the hot
weather that prevailed two or
three weeks ago. The crop is
ruined.

A STAMPEDE TO BRYAN.
IN MANY COUNTIES IN OHIO.
INDIANA, ILLINOIS, RE
PUBLICANS BOLT FROM
MCKINLEY.
Indiana Is Safely Democratic.
THE NATIONAL MANAGERS, AF-
TER THE MOST CAREFUL IN>
VESTIG ALTON, THINK
THAT STATE WILL
GIVE BRYAN 2s,
900 MAJORITY.

A month before election finds
the managers of all parties firm
in their declaration of success.
"The whole thing hinges on
what the labor element may do.
said Mr.. Stevenson, of the Mas
tional Democratic party. "Eighty
five per cent Of the farmers are
for free silver. If the capitalists
and money brokers succeed by
coercion or other methods in
gaining the support of the labor
element, Mr.. Mckinley will be
elected, but l do not think they
can do anything with that ele-
ment."
At Democratic National head
quarters it was stated that cons
vincing evidence is daily accum>
ulati ng that Bryan will sweep
the Southern aud Western M d.
die States. This claim is not
based OH reports of enthusiastic
politicians, but is the result of
careful investigation and can-
vases made in debatable terri
tory by national, State, and local
managers of the free silver COIN
age. It is further stated that Gin
many counties in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wis~
consin, and Minnesota, there is a
wholesale stampede of Republi-
can farmers to the support Of
Bryan" and that "reports show
that the German Americans are
coming over to the Bryan stand
ard by the thousands, a state of
affairs which is largely due to the
Bismarck letter, millions of cop>
les of which have been sent out
all over the country"
The Democratic managers
claim Indiana by $4,000, and also
claim a gain of nine Congress-
men in that State.

BULLET MADE
A HAILSTORM
1t Was Fired Into Space And
Came Down Incased in Ice.

Colonel Clark X. Westcott, OF
London, England, who has been
spending a couple of months in
Chicago and the West in the in>
terest of a syndicate which owns
considerable mining property in
that part of the country, is re-
sponsihle for the following &C
count of a singular natural
phenomenon. His story is as
follows:
Zone hot day a couple of
weeks since was riding along a
mountain road in Colorado OH
my way to mine in which | am
interested, when l noticed high
above ME, soaring in a majestic
circle, an eagle. | had a IS 90
Winchester slung across my
back, and it was but the work of
moment to unslung the gun
and fire at the bird, which ap>
peared to be directly above me.
The shot was clear miss, and,
not caring to waste any more
cartridges, | was about to ride on,
when was startled to hear what
l took to be the dull chung of a
stone thrown by an unseen hand,
which fell into a little gully
partly filled with leaves with
twenty feet of me.
81 looked carefully about me
in all directions, but could see
no sign of human being, and
then dlsmounted, and, scraping
back the leaves, was astonished
to find piece of ice as large as
a goose egg and about the same
shape. Upon close examination
| was further astonished to dis
cover my rife ball firmly i'm
bedded in its centre. | have
speculated a great deal over this
since that time, and
the only solution | can see is
that the ball, in passing through
the cloud, gathered the moisture
and held it by its whirling mos
ton, SO that it was frozen at a
higher attitude, and fell to the
earth as have described.

Within the walls of Yale Col

1t never occurred to the scholars
and students of that institution
that the day would come when
the Indians would be holding
meetings to discuss the want of
civilization at Yale and to take
steps to keep their sons away
from the contamination of asso-
citation with the sons of the effete

''Resolved, That we contem>

HUNGRY AND HOMELESS.
THE CONDITION OF STORM
SWEPT FLORIDA IS
HEARTRENDERING.
Without Food or SPeIter.
An Urgent Appeal Sent to the
Governor for Aid.

Every report in regard to the
storm throughout Florida in
creases the death list, and the
estimate Of the property lost
The condition of the people in
the storm district is appalling,
and there is urgent need Of aid
to prevent starvation. Advices
from Baker says:
While the suffering in Baker
county is great, the damage is
also very great. 1t is estimated
that the loss aggregates some
S25o,ooo. Sanderson's loss will
reach fully $4,000, of which
George 2. Canova, one of the
leading merchants, is damaged
about ST 5000, and Mrs. McPon S
S. 900 to $4,000. Olustee's loss
is about $4,000, of which Ep-
pinger-Russell Company lose
about $4,000. John Ville's loss
is ABOUT 100000, of which the
turpentine men lose in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000. The bal
ance is distributed among the
farmers. The above does not
include loss of cattle, which can
not be estimated until spring.
In consequence of the above losses
the County Commissioners have
issued the following appeal:
To His Excellency, Hon
Henry l.. Mitchell, Governor
of the State of Florida:
The Board of County Com
missioners in regular session do
respectfully petition your Ex>
cellency iii his good Judgment to
devise some means to assist the
suffering people of this (Baker)
county in their sad affliction
caused by the storm of last Tues
day. The people are in desti-
tute circumstances, without
shelter to cover their heads, with
out food to.appease their hunger,
and a great many are without
change of clothing. We would
suggest to your Excellency that
an earnest appeal to the unin-
iured counties to come to our aid
or if necessary call for an extra
session of the Legislature would
be of great moment.
But one gin house stands in
the county; every church and
schoolhouse is destroyed, and the
merchants, who are heavy losers,
are unable to contribute to the
distressed. Most all of the
farmers in the county have lost
their cotton crops, just housed,
and ready for market, and as a
consequence are unable to pay
the merchants for advances and
fertilizers furnished, or even to
purchase food for their suffering
ones. We suggest that contrl
buttons be sent to the clerk of
the Board of County Commis>
sioners.

Dr.Talmage's wise Words

During the last six Presiden-
tial elections I have been urged
to enter the political arena, but
I never have and never will turn
the pulpit in which preach in
to a political stump. Every
minister must do as he feels call
ed on to do, and I will not criti-
else him for doing what he con>
siders his duty; but all the polit-
ical harangues from the pulpits
from now until the 3rd of No
vember will not in all the United
States change one vote, but will
leave many ears stopped against
anything that such clergymen
may utter the rest of their lives. -
