CUBANS WANT
MEDICINES

New York, August 8
Having as its aim the care Of
the sick and wounded in the
Cuban war, the Oscar Primel-
les club has been organized in
this city. Concerning the club
and its objects, a statement
was given out today at the Gu
ban headquarters, says in part
as follows:
The Spanish government
against all principle of human
ity, has forbidden the red cross
to penetrate into the Cuban
camps to take its place for the
care of the dying Cubans."
1t is pointed out that the
Cuban army is generally in
need of quinine and an appeal
is made for medicines of all
kinds, EMBELLISHMENTS and
physicians supplies. 1t is
claimed by the Cubans that
such contributions are not bar
red by President CleveIand's
proclamation.

CONFERENCE
WITH HARDY.
Col. Num- Announces That He
has Come to Parting Of
the Ways.

Corsicana, Tex, Aug. "a
secret has leaked out. A SEE
ret conclave of Hardyiles aud
Re puhlicans was held in the
Commercial Club room of this
city on last Saturday. The
meeting opened with discus
sion over the situation and it
was seOn developed that they
realized it wouid be very d.
tficult matter to defeat Bryan
and Culberson and the entire
discussion turned upon the
proper ways and means to de.
feat them, whereupon Colonel
Num- of Crockett addressed
the meeting in a very decided
toue, saying that if it be the
conference TO defeat Bryan and
and CuIberSon by any means
or at any cost he would wash
his hands of the entire matter.
He declared that he had come
to the parting of the ways if he
must league with the enemy to
defeat them. 1t is believed
that the deal viii be consum
mated and that Judge Hardy is
in it for the nomination by the
combination for a position on
one Of the higher courts.

HE COULD NOT WAIT.
How a Texas Groom Took
His St. Louis Bride Direct
From the Train to
Church.

1t indicates quite a consider
able degree Of love when a
young lady will consent to be
hurried from a railway station
in her travelling dress after a
long journey and thus stand
before the altar for the we'd
ding ceremony, but that's what
Miss Lena Herman, a pretty
and fascinating girl from St.
Louis, is credited with having
done on July Fl in Houston
Tex. She had made the jour
ney from St, Louis, and arriv-
ing at the station in Houston
was met by Mr.. Louis Sehieler,
in charge of the photo-engrav,
ing department Of the Houston
Post, her fance, whose haste
to make her his own was so
great as to brook no further
delay. The young couple were
at once driven to a nearby
church, where the ceremony
making them husband and
wife was performed. Mr..
Schieler formerly lived in St.
Louis, where he first met,
wooed and won the young lady
who thus broke all records in
her Indifference to the allure
ments of the conventional we'd
ding outfit.

GREAT SHOOT ATCHICAGo.
All Records at Live Birds and
Trap Shooting Eclipsed.

Chicago, III, Aug. 3 ALI re
cords at live birds or any kind
of trap shooting have been
eclipsed in this The preliminary
day of the worlds champion
ship tournament, which will be
in progress here during the en-
tire week. As yet not one half
OF the contestants have arrived.
In the bird warmer up" there
were 16 entries and in the live
birds 100 entries. There would
have been many more had not
darkness interfered. In order
to facilitate matters in the
shooting tomorrow, the first re
gular day, the first squad will
be called at s a. m. Instead of
10 a. m. as advertised. An ex-
tension of the program has been
arranged for. In the first event
today there were forty four ties
for first money. and in the
second, twenty nine. The wind
blew strong from the southeast
and the heat at times was in
tense. The birds were a splendid
lot. Over 1000 were killed. The
attendance was very large. If
the weather is propitious it is
estimated on Wednesday there
will be 10000 people present.
This is the day set apart for
the team race and the entertain
ment of ladies'. The entries for
the worlds championship race,

|N0 THIRD TICKET.

1t is now pretty well settled
. that the sound money demo
Gratis will not make a nomina-
ton in opposition to Bryan. It
is we'll that common sense has
come to their relief. 1t is often
a hard thing to swallow a dose
of medicine and, at the same
time, preserve a smiling coun-
tenance, but frequently along
through this vale of tears, med
icine has to be taken. The
sound money men have con-
cluded to take theirs. It is we'll.
Democratic organization is still
Intact. A revolution is going
on, and revolutions never go
backward. There will be new
alignment, but the ranks and
file are the same. With slight
detection, an unbroken front
will be presented 10 the enemy,
and there will be many recruits.
A party that can stand thirty
years OF defeat is not going to
pieces in a moment. The other
side thought they would have a
walkover, bat their tune is rap
idly changing. All the millions
of the millionaires cannot avert
the inevitable result in Noyem-
Der.

Was it the failure of Groucby

No. Was it the lack of bravery

it is likely to be with the Ohio

WHY BIRDS LOVE TREES

When the great spirit first

green land a tree would grow
up. He was pleased at this
and smiled, and then the trees
were clothed in beautiful YER

grew, but the first cold Of au.
tumn caused the leaves 10 turn
gold and red and then TO die.
As they fell from the trees their
creator felt that they We're too
fair to die, so his gaze renewed
life, and each leaf became IA
winged bird that scared and
sung for joy. The robin came
from the red stained oak, the
cardinal bird from the maple
and The faded yellow Of the
willow decked the yellow bird.
The homelY brown leaves be

were given sweeier voices to
compensate for their plain col
ors. Since then trees aud birds

In his speech to a Pennsyl-

campaign.
Many of the Republican lead
ers and organs, realizing the
difficulty of securing Democra-
tic SUPPORT for McKlnleyism,
have tried to catch dissatisfied
Democrats with the statement
that the tariff issue is complete
ly side tracked for the money
question.
But while Mckinley is glad
to have the 'ssound money"

are voting for the gold standard

yet he aud the syndicate back
of him do not propose to have

ALTGELD's DENIAL.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. Gov
ernor Altgeld asserted this
morning when he reached Chi
cago that he would positively
accept nothing. He said this
morning that he had no desire
to be attorney general in Mr..
Bryan's cabinet, and declared
there was no truth whatsoever
in the story that he had made
an agreement with Mr.. Bryan
to receive the portfolio in re-
turn for the support of the Him
Disc delegation in the conven-
ton.

he said to a reporter of the

continued, that not a single
one of the candidates whose
names were before the conven-

TRAGEDY.

Frank Davis killed Robert
Pickett last night, cutting his
head nearly off with a razor,
and also cut Mary Rivers so
badly that she will die. He
then cut his own throat, but it
is not thought the wound is
fatal. Pickett was a dance hall
proprietor and Davis was the
porter Of the place. The
woman was an inmate of the
house and jealousy caused the
tragedy.

PASSING THE SALT.

Il don't know, ask papa"
The young man, knowing that

The latter was disposed to be
very particular as TO the char

should come and ask ,the hand

as TO his habits. The young
man declared that he neither

old man, who had previously
looked up his antecedents to

Then he invited his prospective

gently pushed the salt BOX
toward paterfamilias with the
ends of his fingers. at the same

When Hard Times Started.

1t is remarkable how soon people al
low events of history to pass from their
minds. People do forget important
events quickly and nobody knows that
better than the politicians. Relying
on this, spoilsmen for two years have
been preaching to the people that
Harrison's administration from it's
start to the day of its finish was sue
cess and that the country enjoyed
prosperity as never before.
Many people actually believe this
because they have forgotten that the
financial stringency which is just pas
sing away was ushered in by the great
panic of October, 1890.
They have forgotten that failure af-
ter failure followed this panic and on
ly through a system of borrowing from
Peter to pay Paul was the grand cli-
max postponed until the summer of
1898.
They have forgotten that during the
last part of the Harrison administra-
tion the expenditures of the govern
ment surpassed its receipts and that
raids on the gold reserve were begun
in 1892. and that the 800. 900, 900 was
kept together through the indulgence
of New York bankers, who warded off
bond issue for almost a year by CIV
ing up their gold without cost.
They have forgotten that the nation
al debt increased during Harrison's ad-
ministration and that the tremendous
reserve built up by the first Cleveland
administration was squandered.
The hungry patriots who yearn for
pie hope that enough people will have
forgotten all this to again vote the par
ty of McKinleyism and disaster into
power once more.-Narshfeld Ckroni-
Gle
