NEWS FROM THE CHICAGO END.
Report That Mckinley Will Do Som
Stamping Headauarters.

Report That Mckinley Will Do Some
Stumping Democratic Headquarters.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2a-It is learned on
what seems to be reliable authority that
Major Mckinley will stump Illinois and
other ates as soon as arrangements for
big meetings, which are now under way,
can be completed.
The Democratic Headquarters is at last
a fixed fact. The chairman and his adj
visors at first were of the mind to estab-
lish themselves in the Sherman House,
but for several reasons Chairman Jones
changed his mind and from this time on
the Democratic national campaign will
be conducted from the Auditorium An
mex. The battle between the two great
parties will therefore be directed from the
same location, practically conducted undor
the same roof.
Senator Jones has made but few ap-
pointments, the principal ones being Clark
Howell, of Georgia, as chief of the literary
bureau; +. L. Adams, better known as
Grizzly" Adams as his chief assistant.
ana Dan McConville of Ohio, as chairman
of the speakers bureau. Howell and Ad.
ans are both newspaper men of exper.
fence and are sure to conduct n lively
literary bureau. Adams is a good nara
gruphist and fond Of humor, so that there
will be fun for certain as soon as he and
Perry Heath commence firing literary
broadsides at each other. McConyille is
chairman of the Ohio Democratic cam
paign committee and was recommended
for the job of selecting orators for the
Bryan campaign by John K. Mclean.

Chairman Jones Expense.
NEW YORK, Aug. CAN incident that
occurred during the recent visit to New

OF the Bartholdi hotel and joined a little
group of politicians, in the center of which
sat Senator Jones. They were discussing
the attitude of Tom Watson and his prob

Good Pure Air.

Don't be afraid to go out CT doors
because it is little colder than usual.
The cold air will not hurt you if you
are properly protected, and take
exercise enough to keep the circulation
active. On the contrary, it will do you
good. 1t will purify your blood, it will
strengthen your lungs, it will improve
your digestion, it will afford a healthy,
natural stimulus to your torpid circula-
ton, and strengthen and energiZe your
whole system. The injury which often
results from going into cold atmos-
phere is occasioned by lack of protec-
ton to some part of the body, exposure
to strong draughts, or from breathing
through the mouth. Avoid these and
you are safe. Don't be afraid to sleep
in cold room at night with the window
little open. Cold air, if pure, will not
hurt you at night any more than in
the day, if you are protected by suffi.
Gent clothing, and by breathing
through the nostrils. If you do not
breathe thus, acquire the habit as soon
as possible. If you wish to be sub
ject to colds. coughs and feyers, shut
yourself in close, hot rooms day and
night. If you wish to be free from
their companionship, always have plen-
ty of pure air to breathe night and day,
take daily outdoor exercise, regardless
OF the weather, except as to clothing

THE SHOP.
MISSISSIPPI.

'Tis morning, and the workshop swarms
With eager, busting, brawny forms:
The rafters shake;
The bellows move; the fires flash;
The hammer and the anvils crash;
The shops awake.
'ris noon: the busy hive is still;
At rest is hammer, sledge and drill;
The hour is blsst.
The fires banked; the rafters black
Hold for a time their echoes back;
The shops at rest.
IT'S nigh: the Pickering lights are dim;
Across the frowning wall so grim
shadows creep.
A quiet peace the shadows bring,
Now hushed to rest is everything;
The shops asleep.
