Is IT A FREAK?

1t is impossible to gather reliable in
formation from the Union Oil Co.'S
Ruckman well at Eureka. The well is
being drilled deeper and at last report
the bit was in the black shale. which
is usually found below the Bera. 1t
looks as if the we'll is through the
Berea sand, of which there is not
enough to justify the tiattering claims
made for the strike. 1t is just possible
that the we'll is pure freak.

Hopelessly lost to happiness Is the woman
who negiects the health of the most i'm
portant and delicate organs of her body. If
she is weak and sick and nervous, she can
not be cheerful and amiabie she cannot
make her home pleasant for herself, or for
her husband, or for her children. Health is
the thing most worth having in all the world
1t is the tiring that makes all other good
Things good, and yet four out of five women
are sick and weak and make no real effort
to get wen. Every one of them can be well,
If she wants to. Women go on for years
suffering in silence, and then some day they
find out about DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-.
seription-and they take il and get well II
Il a positive specific for all weakness and
disease Of the female organs Thousands
of women have testified to this fact Among
them Mrs. Maud Pearce, of Stoutsville,

Headache, heart burn, seY- stomach, foul

OTHER POLITICAL MATTERS

When 8 o'clock arrived, the hour to which
the populist convention of st. Louis ad-
journed. the hall was-still in total darkness.
The delegates were huddled in the seats in
front of the platform. while CHASTITY groups
of faces swayed in the light of the few can
dies that fickered on the press tables
About this time some shrewd middle of the
reader thought he discovered that the re-
fasal to turn on the lights was part of
scheme of the Bryan people to prevent the
straight-out element from controlling. This
suspicion that the lights were out In the in
terest of faction, as they were turned
out at the Cincinnati convention In 1876 by
the opponents of Mr.. Blaine, aroused a
storm of protests and the middle of the
readers were charging about in the dark to
discover the cause of the unprecedented
situation.
Its scheme of the Bryan men," the
Texas delegation shouted. Some one mount
ed the stage and yelled. THE Bryan people
have put out the lights. but If they nomin-
ate Bryan We'll split this convention wide
open.'
You're a disgrace to the party" came
emphatically from the black cavernous
depths of the hail.
By this time the aisles were choked with
delegates pushing and cropping their way
about IN the dark. There began to be some
apprehension of some sudden alarm which
might stampede the delegates and cause a
disaster, and the leaders began discussing
the advisability of adjourning the conven-
ton until this morning. The band. under
instructions. kept up q constant fusillade
of airs to allay the fears Of any who might
be alarmed. Whenever the band played a
hymn the delegates joined in the chorus.
Some of the other rollicky songs. like
John Browns Body" and Marching
Through Georgia" were also sung enthu-
siastically.
AT $40 O'Clock Cyclone Davis mounted
to the stage and tried to secure order but
the crowd refused to listen until some one
held a lighted candle in front of his face.
AS his tall form and broad, sweeping SOM
brero came within the narrow ring of the
light from the tallow dip the delegates i'm
mediately recognized him and there were
shouts of Shut up"' Keep quiet" Lis
ten to Cyclone
When he could make himself heard he an
nounced that the electric wires were dis
affected but that they would be all right

iii a few minutes, whereupon there were
cheers of approval, and the band struck up
another tune.
Delegate Webster of St. Louis moved
that committee be appointed to wait up
on the officers of the convention and as
certain why they were not present.
chorus of voices seconded the motion but
nobody moved and no committee was ap-
pointed.
One disguised delegate yelled: Let US go
to Chicago and hire hall
This suggestion also seemed to meet with
approval Then the band in the gallery
broke out with the stirring strains of
Dixie and the old southern song was
answered by the roar of 1000 Threats.
Mrs. Mary A. Lease came to the stage
and was appealed to to make a speech. but
she declined to talk in the dark.
Wait until they turn on the Nights" said
she, land I'll talk to you all night"
At S:45 Chairman Butler appeared on the
stage. The band played Put Me OF at
Buffalo, and then Senator Butler called
the convention to order. He announced
that the committee on credentials was I'M
able to report, and that as, owing to an
accident. there was no light, he would de-
clare the convention in recess until 10
O'Clock this morning. The delegates, many
of them with evident reluctance, then quit
ted the hall.

teacher who receives them is congratulated
by all the others, and every room that Is
left behind bears the evidence Of their So
journ there. While In nay district the school
receives the patrons hearty support, yet
not many feel called upon to assist to make
1t house beautiful. None buz Mrs. Grace
has ever sent her Christmas pine and holly

He spoke as follows:
Chairman St. Johns Address.
Gentlemen Of the convention: The skill
and efficiency Of your labors In the past
have been rewarded by the adoption Of
your demand for legislation by two great
organizations Of the people. namely. the
democratic and the peoples parties. If
Of these two organizations for the one
purpose the desired achievement on behalf
Of the people will ensue.
Assuming, then. that you will prevail
upon these patriots calling themselves the
peoples party to fndorse the nomination
of Bryan and Sewall 1t is advisable to war
rant the desirability of the end in view.
ut is among the first principles in finance
that the value of each dollar, expressed
in prices, depends upon the total number
of dollars in circulation. The plane Of
prices is high when the number Of dollars
in circulation is great in proportion to
the number Of things to be exchanged by
means of dollars, and low when the dollars
are proportionately few. The plane of
prices at present and for some time past
is and has been ruinously low. The in
crease of our population at about two
millions year. scattered over our i'm
mense territory. calls for increasing ex-
changes and thereby demands an increas-
ing number Of dollars In circulation. The
increase in the number of dollars when
dollars are confined to gold IL not suf-
ficfently rapid to meet the growth Of our
exchanges The consequence IL a grow
ing value of dollars or a diminfshing value
OF everything else expressed In dollars,
which - to say q tendency toward con-
stantly declining prices.

SUSPICIOUS DELEGATES.
They Thought the Bryan Men Had
Fixed the Lights.

The middle Of the road populists held an
informal meeting after they left the con-
vention last night, and there were many ex-
pressions of suspicion regarding the failure
to have it lighted. They pointed out that
they had arranged for an adjournment an
hour and a half previous to The time set
forth for the convention TO reconvene. And
they would not have interfered with the
convention, as the business they had to
transact could have been disposed of very
easily. 1t was also pointed out by several
delegates that none Of the officers Of the
convention and no member of the executive
committee except "Cyclone:' Davis appear
ed until within few minutes Of the time
when Mr.. Butler declared the convention
in recess. The Texas men were bitter In
their denunciation of the manner in which
the middle Of the road men had been treat
ed, although Mr.. Davis had made an expla-
nation of the reason why there were no
lights. The wire connection which lights
