great demonstration in Chicago today and the tramp of the 100000 marching re- publicans' echoes by a long distance tele- phone in Major McKinley's study and in Mrs McKinleys room. The telephone company has put a direct Chicago wire into the Mckinley house for use today, and there are twelve receivers attached to this end of it.
 The ex-Confederate veterans, who were expected to arrive at S:30 in the morning, did not all reach Canton until o'clock this afternoon. They came on three spe- eial Baltimore and Ohio trains from the Valley of the Shenandoah, and the party numbered in the aggregate nearly 2O00. One-half of them were men who had worn the Confederate gray and fought under Stonewall Jackson, and hundreds of them have never voted the republican ticket. The veterans from Virginia were met al the train by the Grand Army of the Re public posts of Canton and Stark county, wearing uniforms and badges and by the Union Veterans Patriotic league of Cleveland, and escorted to the Taberna- ele, where an elaborate dinner was served by the women of Canton. After dinner they marched to Major McKinley's house. Scores of the ex-Confederate soldiers walked arm In arm with the union vet erans-gray uniforms and blue were min gied in the parade. Along the line of march the veterans were cheered at every step, and they made a brave spectacle as they swung up the broad street and passed under the white arch at the foot of the hill leading to McKinley's resi- dence just at sunset. At Major Mcktn- ley's house the reception given the Yls- itors was most cordial.

FIRE SWEEPS CORNING.
Tramp Burned in a Box Car-A Third ot tt
 Business Houses Gone.

Tramp Burned in Box Car-A Third ot the
 Business Houses Gone.
 Corning la, Oct. 9.-Corning was vis- ited this morning with terrible confia- grafton, involving the loss of a third of it's business houses with total value of $150,0 000 At o'clock the fire alarm walk ened the sleeping inhabitants to the fact that the large Reynolds grain elevator at the depot was abaze. The water works being a little out of order, little could be done and the high wind soon caused the destruction of the building. Three of the box cars caught fire from the elevator and when the sides of one of them had caved in, the charred body of a man was discovered. Identification is impossible, but it is supposed that he was a tramp.
 Hardly had the people returned to their beds when they were called out again to a fire in Beymer's hardware store. Telegrams for assistance were sent to Creston, Clarinda and Red Oak, but be- fore aid could arrive two whole blocks had been swept away. The fire in the elevator was caused by sparks from To- comotive the elevator sparks setting fire to the Beymer building. Stories of incen- diarism, however, are afloat. Insurance is small.

AND THE BEST CAME LAST
Two Gigantic Parades Comment
 orated Chicago Day.
ONE GOLD, THE OTHER SILVER
The Advocates of the Two Metals We're On Their Metal = And Superb Pa
 geantry Was the Result.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Twenty-five years ago today the city of Chicago was laid waste by the greatest conflagration of modern times.
 Today, in commemoration of that day of dreadful havoc and suffering, Chicago celebrates the rebuilding and progress of what is now the second city in America. The anniversary was taken advantage of by the local managers of the presidential campaign to make a demonstration in advocacy of the continuance of the pres ent financial system, both republicans and gold democrats joining forces under the direction of the Business Mems Sound Money associat ton in organizing pa- rade, the equal of which has never been seen in this, or probably any other American city.
 As counter demonstration the com bined free silverites made a torchlight parade, which was quite as notable as the day parade of the gold men.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock a cannon at the lake front park gave the signal for the parade to move Immediately Gen. Joseph Stockton, who had charge of the vast army of volunteers, representing almost every branch of industry in the city, gave the order to march and Mayor George IS. Swift Chief of Police Badenoch, Assist ant Chief Ross and Inspectors Boni1eld and Shea. at the head of a platoon of police. led the great host of industrial workers and political clubs on their triumphal tour of the business portion of the city.
 The line of march was as follows:Mich- igan avenue, right resting on VanBuren street; VanBuren street to State to Ran dolph, to Dearborn to Washington, to Franklin to Madison, to Dearborn to lNIoproa to Mo rlket tO Adams to Dearborn to Jackson, Market and dismiss. AL though a comparatively short line of march, the parade, moving at a quick marching step, occupied an hour and half in covering it, and the time of pass ing a given point was estimated at from six to seven hours. Estimates as to the number of men in line vary from 75,O0O to 100000.
 The rear guard of the parade reached the dispersng point at o'clock, the spec tacle having lasted exactly six hours. By actual count there were 50,0O0 men in line.

It was expected that the proposition to be made would cover complete fusion on all tickets, but it is learned that 1t is so far only for a di- vision of congressman upon the pledge that only free silver congressman shall be voted for.

You are weak, "run-d down" health is frail, strength gone. Doctors call your case an- eernia-there is a fat-fam- inc in your blood. Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil, with hypophosphites, is the best food-means of getting your strength back-your doctor will tell you that.
 He knows also that when the digestion is weak it is better to break up cod-liver oil out of the body than to burden your tired digestion with 1t. Scott's Emulsion does that.

back country, every pound OF freight,
every bale Of cotton, every sack OF
seed, every foot of lumber-has to
be hauled through Grants canal
bottom-and Grants canal bottom
for four months in the year is impas-
sable. There are more wagons
stalled, more harness broken, more
GUSHING done in that bottom than in
any other part of the parish. Every
one who has to go to the landing is
anxious that the plank road should
be built, everybody in town is talk
ing about it and wonders why it is
not done, anu why somebody does
not take the lead. The many public
spirited citizens the town boasts of,
who are always foremost in every
movement for the good Of the town
and that Of the people, cannot, it APP
pears, be aroused to the duty of the
hour. Gentlemen, we are losing
good time; our town is progressing,
going ahead, why not show the usual
public spirit in this matter of primary
Importance to the progress of the
town? We all want the plank road,
because it is necessity; we are all
one on that subject, we only need
some one to take the lead. Let the

the necessary steps in order to secure
this most necessary Improvement.

Capt. G.. Me d. Townsend of the
United States engineers, arrived in
town on Sunday morning last, having
come down from Memphis on the U.
S. steamer Vidette. Assistant engi-
ncer W. S. Brown joined him at this
point and went down together as far
as Vicksburg. Capt. Townsend said
to Commercial-Herald reporter that
work on the levees had been consid-
erably delayed by the bad weather
during the past month, but did not ap-
pear to consider this serious matter,
in view of the rivers condition. Capt.
Townsend would hazard no prediction
as to the probability of high or low
water, but remarked that the present
outlook was favorable. The present
year will witness the completion of an
entirely new line in Arkansas.
