Gives Mckinley 500 Votes.

Canton, O., Oct l6.-Joseph p. Smith,

friend of Major Mckinley and closely con-
nected with the campaign work, this
evening made a statement on the outlook
in which he claims an overwhelming vic-
tory. He says: ''On August 10 gave 10
a representative of the press, at his earn

result of the Presidential election. In
this said believed that Mckinley and
Hobart would carry at least twenty eight
States and receive fully 9t2 electoral votes
and majority of the popular vote. This
opinion still confidently adhere to.
"In.my judgment, the Republican can
dates will receive the electoral vote of the
three Pacific States, California, Oregon
and Washington, and also Wyoming.
They will carry the three Southern States
of Maryland, West Virginia aud Ken
tucky, and have more than an even
chance in Missouri. They will carry the
six New England States and the four
Middle States, New York, Pennsylvania.
New Jersey and Delaware, by over
vhelming majOrities. They will 7eceiNe
the electoral votes of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota. Nebraska, Iowa,

paign. / would not at all he surprised 10

himself for her, and is now serving life
sentence in the San Quentin prison be-
cause OF his devotion. She was touched
by his faithfillness and began to muse on
the step which he had taken for her sake.
While thus meditating she was in the
prison at Butte. and was converted by a
Salvationist and joined the army and for
several years lived life of hoi or and pi-

Wheat Goes Up, Silver Goes D own

1t is one of Bryan's stock statements on
the stump that with free coinage of silver
would come rise in the price of the
white metal and corresponding iu-
crease in the price OF wheat. The ounce
of pure silver that is now worth Gli cents,
he maintains, will take on a valuo of
sl.29 and, therefore, wheat will reach that
price. Should there be, he argues, no ad-
vance in the price of silver there will be
no increase in the price of wheat. In
other words, one controls the other.
What are the facts? Within the past
week wheat has jumped 74c bushel in
price and since the first of September
nearly ~ cents. Last Monday wheat sold
in Chicago, which is naturally the grain
selling center Of this country, for % cent 5
per bushel. When the wheat marke ct
closed on Saturday wheat sold for 75i
cents per bushel land at San Francisco
for 81 cents, and the dispatches state that
there is a prospect of still further advance
this week, all of which is good news to
the farmer who has wheat 10 sell.
But has silver taken jump in price in
| proportion 10 wheat. IL has not. On
Saturday har silver was quoted in New
York at Gi cents per ounce, or lOi cent,
less than the price of a bushel of wheat
Silver did not jump with wheat The
Mexican dollar was quoted in New YoEl
on Saturday at 5Ot- cents. The Mexican
dollar is % cents shy of the price of ;
bushel of wheat, and has more silver il
il than the American dollar.
A dispatch from Chicago says:
"In produce it would be impossible L

Wonderful Helen Ksllar.

by her marvellous sense of touch, in mas

| and has just passed the examination nee

| women's annex to Harvard university.
While the questions were being read TO

This wonderful girl is the daughter of
Confederate officer, who was later
United States Marshal of Alabama. She
was born July p, 1880. When eighteen
months old disease stripped her of all
her senses, but that Of touch, and until
she was seven years old no attempt was

In 1857. however, Helen was brought
up from her Alabama home TO Boston
and placed in the Perkins School for the
| Blind, where she was confided to the low

teachers.
Miss Sullivan devoted her life 10 the
development of this poor little unfortu-
nate, deaf, dumb, blind and without the
capacity to scent the fragrance of the
flowers or taste the strongest 6avors.
Now Helen can talk distinctly, utter
ing whatever word she pleases. Her
printed articles are charming, her Ian
guage being as clear as spring water.
Miss Kellar is physically beautiful, al
most spirtuelle. Her eyes, unlike most
sightless eyes, are blue and bright, and
| give no visible token of their blindness.
Her complexion is pink and white and
very clear; her lips are sensitive and deli
cately moulded, and her pretty face is
framed in awealth of soft, brown hair,
curling naturally above well-shaped
head on her shoulders.
