SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Oct. 5.-This was
intended by the Democracy to be their big
gest rally during the campaign. Great
preparations had been made by the man
agement and they expected to have an old
time Democratic gathering. All day Sun
day runners were securing the country
urging the faithful to join the delegations.
In one township they circulated the report
that w. j. Bryan had changed his route
and would speak here this noon, hoping by
that to swell the crowd. Three decorated
wagons containing from six to fourteen
men apiece came in from the north. one
wagon with about a half dozen buggies fol-
lowing from the east. This was the extent
of the monster delegations. Hon. b. F.
Shively, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, was here and spoke twice. In the
afternoon he was escorted to the speaking
place by ten men on horseback and thirteen
on foot, headed by a drum corps. He spoke
for an hour and a half to about 500 people
nearly half being women. AT night the
parade contained 245 voters by actual count,
while possibly 600 people heard Shively
speak in the opera house. A banquet was
rendered him and a select company at 6
o'clock. Considering the amount OF time
and labor expended in getting up the rally

ROer ValOr illustrated.

Here is story that is being told
with much gusto by Dom Paul's
burghers. A father and son, named
Pretorius, were setting out to meet
DR.. jameson at Krugersdorp, and a
younger son, boy of II years old,
was anxious to 60 too. But his ia.
ther scolded him and left him. Aft
or the others had gone he went into
the house, took down an old san
nah '-relic Of past days-and, find
ing some ammunition, loaded his
weapon and set off on foot toward
Krugersdorp. After walking some
time he observed a horseman ap-
preaching and concealed himself be-
hind an ant heap. When he saw that
the horseman was armed and that
his horses tail was cut. he conclud-
ed that the man was lone of the
enemy" So he crouched down and
took aim, and, at a distance of ~
yards, he shot his man dead. The
trooper fell from his horse, and the
youthful Boer calmly took posses
sion of horse and accouterments,
and, discarding his old 'sannah,"
rode home in triumph with his
booty. This boy will probably be
heard of again. Westminster Ca

by call your attention to the moral well

Of our social life is we'll aware of the

that should be eradicated. While in many
respects we are highly favored as peo-

| in some directions and by certain class
we are exposed to serious perils AS

Whom,' he goes on to say ''resist stead

cargo was we'll divided between America
and Canada.
Some of the Grand Trunk trains were
slightly delayed yesterday because of the
cold, but six specials came through and
several went out during the day.
There was an uncommonly thick mist
yesterday morning making it hardly
possible to see the length of vessel from
the wharyes.
1t was a rough day off the coast and a
thick snow storm was reported five miles
out to sea.
s s The Elizabeth City had some difficulty
in, making her first trip over yesterday.
There was some trouble with the rudder
chains, and the big boat made but little
progress in the face of the heavy wind.
She landed her passengers at Commercial
wharf. The other trips during the day
were made without special trouble.
Captain Pickett of the schooner Lin
coin, says that his last trip from Middle
ton to Plymouth and Boston, and from
there here was the worst in all his long
experience of 4s years at sea. He was
making what he thought was very rapid
passage hen a sudden storm struck hin,
wind and sea both at ONCE and 1t was
with difficulty that they struggled
through. They lost their mainsail, fore
sail, main boom and boat, and for time
it looked as if they must go to the bot

was made through the recent great storm,
and Captain Fiokett is now waiting for q
favorable opportunity to go back to his
