The Republicans are still laying
strong claims to Indiana; but the
Democrats are not worried, and there
is no reason why they should be if the
following from Boston, Indiana, is any
indication "The population of this
place is $50. On the occasion of Mr..
Bryan's visit to Louisville, the railroad
Office here sold $50 round trip tickets.
Taswell, town of 300 inhabitants sold
200 tickets, aud English, town of
800 inhabitants, sold 1913 tickets. All
the tickets were sold to residents of
the single county of Crawford, and
Crawford is no worse afflicted with
'Bryanana' than the other counties
Immediately surrounding"

- A Reading, Pa, dispatch of the
18th says: Senator Tillman of South
Carolina, arrived in Reading this after
noon from Pittson, and after brief
rest was driven to the Berks County
Agricultural society's grounds. A
platform had been especially erected
from which he was to speak, but he
insisted on going into the judges
stand in front of the main pavilion.
After he had got started he denounced
President Cleveland, and the large au-
dience took exceptions to it and yelled
until he had to leave the stand. He
was then conducted to another stand
some distance away, where he COM
pleted his address in the presence of
about 500 people. He left here tonight
for Philadelphia.
A story comes from Florence, Ala,
that q week ago child of a Negro
named Louis Handy, who lives near
Florence, died, it was believed, from
the effect of some throat trouble, as
its throat and tongue were found to
be badly swollen. 1t has now devel-
oped that the child did die of throat
trouble Of the most violent and fatal
kind. The child, it seems, was play
ing with some other children and it
was part of the game to hang the little
unfortunate by the neck to limb of a
tree. 1t was all done in fun, but the
little fellow was allowed to hang too
long, and when they let him down
he was senseless. The kindergarten
lynchers did not confess to what they
had done for several days. AS they
are all infants there will be no prose-
cution in the matter.
- An amusing incident occurred at
Hillsboro, N. c., while the Bryan cam
paign party was there last Thursday.
An immense crowd had gathered to
hear Bryan, and while the candidate
was speaking, there appeared in the
crowd a young man named Brown,
riding spirited horse that was deco
rated with golden collar upon which
appeard the name Of Mckinley.
Every time the crowd would applaud
Mr.. Bryan, Brown would shout hur-
rah for the Republican candidate. He
made himself generally annoying.
About minute before Mr.. Bryan's
special train was ready to leave, sever
al newspaper correspondents made a
dash for Brown. They captured his
horse, and while he cursed and raved
they removed the golden Mckinley
collar and carried it back to the train.
Brown shook his fist at the departing
train, and the crowd shouted for Bry-
an. The McKinleyeite was complete
ly discom6tted, and was without con-
ISOLATION.
"A dispatch of Saturday from San
Antonio, Texas, says: ]. c. Lawlings,
q wellknown ranchman of Presidio
county, arrived here yesterday and
reports that large bands of armed
Mexicans have been congregating on
the Texas side of the Rio Grande river
for the past 10 days. The band num-
bered fully 500 persons when he left
there yesterday, and their leaders
stated that they are going to cross into
Mexico and join the followers of Santa
Teresa. The recruits for this band
come from the border Texas ranches
and they are nearly all ignorant of
the plans of the leaders. All are we'll
mounted and have good supply of
ammunition. The attention of the
authorities of Preside has been called
to the rendezvous of the band of Mexi-
cans, and the sheriff and a detach-
ment of rangers have left for the To-
cality where they are holding camp.
An effort will be made to arrest the
Mexicans on the charge of violating
the United States neutrality laws by
organizing an armed band for the pur-
pose of invading sister country in
time of peace.
