M'KlNLBY's CHANGE OF MIND.

They are beginning to apologize
for Mckinley because of his changed
opinions on the currency, and point
out number of prominent American
gentlemen who more or less violently
changed their opinions during their
political lives, saying it is "not regard
ed as a crime" for a man to so change
his views.
Ordinarily it is not crime, but in
the case of Mckinley it is as nearly a
political crime as possible The major
did not change his views upon con.
viction but under compulsion, not
swayed by argument but by expedi-
ency.- He had been carefully groom
ed for the presidency. at the cost of
much time and expense, and at the
time the New York San was speaking
of him as "Bill the Still" and other
patriotic democratic" papers were
matchmaking him for his silence on
the currency he was trimming his sails
for any coinage breeze that would
most readily bear him toward the
coveted goal, ready for stiff breeze
from either the gold or the silver
quarter, willing to get there by tack
ing under capfuls of wind from both
sides. and equall ready to get out
his oars and row without any currency
wind from any direction or to make
wind for himself.
If Mckinley had changed his mind
upon conviction he would be deserving
of confidence, for man who is not
open to conviction is weak minded.
But any man who recalls the majors
attitude before, during and immediate
ly after the St. Louis convention
knows that the candidate, who had
been a free silver man. was a candi.
date first and a man with convictions
according to circumstances created
by his candidacy and his managers.
His change of "belief," if it must be
so called, does him no honor.-Pa

BRYAN PREDICTS ELECTION.
His Confidence Based on the Steady Growth
Of the Free Silver Sentiment.

William J. Bryan has no doubt of
his election. He gave out a signed
statement Saturday in which he says
the detection of Republicans to silver
is increasing every day, while that of
Democrats to gold is rapidly diminish
ing. The statement follows:
have no doubt of my election.
and l base my confidence upon the
fact that the free coinage sentiment is
growing every day.
The people are studying the money
question, and the study of it is con
vincing the e.people generally that there
can be no permanent prosperity so
long as the gold standard is maintain
ed.
The gold standard makes dollar
dearer: a dearer dollar means falling
prices and falling prices means hard
times.
The people who profit by hard
times are relatively so few in number
that they would amount to nothing at
bat 10. the fact that they are aid
ed by considerable number OF peo-
pie who, not having studied the money
question themselves, have received in
struotions from a few tinanciers.
The number of Democrats who
have declared for free silver outnum-
bers the Democrats who have desert
ed the ticket; and, while the number
Of silver Republicans IS increasing all
the tilAe, the number OF bolting Demo
Gratis is all the time decreasing
While l have no doubt as to my
election, l believe that every advocate
of free coinage should work from now
to election day to make the majority
in the electoral college so large that
no party hereafter will ever dare to
propose submission to a foreign tinan-
cial policy. W. J. BRYAN.

Hypnotists Liable.
A Georgia Judge Holds the Operator Re.
sponsble for His Subjects Acts.

If the ruling of Judge Foule, OF
Atlanta, obtains, hypnotists will have
to be very careful what they order the
subjects to do. The Judge holds that
the hypnotist is directly responsible
for the acts of his subjects. 1t is the
first case where such a decision has
been rendered.
During performance at a local
theatre the subject of Hypnotist Lee
imagined hewas monkey and grabbed
the hat of a man in the audience.
biting a piece out of It. The pro.
fessor and his business manager de-
cllned to make good the cost of the
tile and the hypnotist was prosecuted
before Judge Foule upon a charge of
malicious mischief. The Judge sus-
tanned the charge and bound Lee
over to higher court.

A Bully Resists Arrest.
And the officer Shoots Himself and Woman

In trying to effect the arrest of a
furious Polish bully, named John
Flomena, at Shamokin, Constable
Jack Dando shot himself in the leg
and also shot Polish woman, Mrs.
Maggie Pulsawicz, in the abdomen.
Flomena was wanted on a charge
of assault. He knocked the constable
down with club and evidently in T.
tended to beat him to death, when
the officer drew his revolver and fired
four shots, two taking effect as stated,
and the other two being harmless.
The entire police force went to the
scene, but Flomena took refuge in a
shanty and kept the officers at bay for
several hours. A citizen got near the
shanty and Flomena knocked him
senseless with club. The man was
eventually captured by strategy and
taken to jail at the muzzles of revol-
vers. He was committed for trial.
Constable Dando and Mrs. Pulsawicz
are in a critical condition.

The Sadest Calf in the World,

We clip the following from the
New York Uorid Of Oct. end.
]. Pierpont Morgan's three-legged
dog has rival. This is a three. legged
freak calf, born in a Pennsylvania
town, with the freak name Shick-
shinny. Shickshinnites have felt for
many years that they had something
out of the ordinary coming to them.
They feel now that it has come.
The triped belongs to S. c. Nc
Daniels. Five months ago his faith
ful family COW presented him with
Ben. Ben is the name Of the calf that
has become famous for being not like
other calves.
His right leg is entirely missing.
Both hind legs are perfectly formed
and placed. HIS left foreleg is also
just as perfect as any calls, but it is
almost in the middle of his body. All
the ribs are naturally formed, reach
ing all the way 10 the neck. There
is not even the trace of shoulder
blade on the right side.
The calf weighs $50 pounds, and
can run and play as lively as any calf
with a full set of legs. Stone piles
and bitches are not obstacles to him
he frisks over them, tail high in the
air, using his fore leg on the principle
of a jumping pole. He has been
much petted, and follows the members
Of the McDaniels family about like a
dog.
At'the tender age of four weeks
Ben left his mother and went with
his master on jaunt about the sur
rounding country, attracting consider
able attention and earning consider
ably more than his living expenses,
thanks to the willingness of Americans
to pay to see freaks. He has not
missed meal in his life, and is un-
usually strong and healthy.

Beaten and Robbed by Tramps.

While Samuel Morgan was on his
way to his home in Sunbury Monday
evening two tramps emerged from a
side street and attacked him. He
was choked into insensibility and
robbed of his watch and several dol
lars. Morgan then went home and
securing a revolver started out in
search of the tramps, He tracked
them to the Pennsylvania Railroad
yards, where he attempted to shoot
them. The weapon failed to go off
and the tramps again assaulted Mr.
Morgan. hitting him over the head
with a coupling pin. Morgan was
found unconscious later in the even
ing by several railroaders.

The musical feature Of the State

been an interesting one; this year, as
on former occasion, it will be in

Professor Lowe will conduct all of the
musical exercises of the Convention.

Philadelphia Citizens Appeal to Candidates
Miles and Grow TO withdraw

One OF the startling features of the
Republican campaign was the appear
ance Monday evening of lengthy
letter addressed jointly to James l..
Miles and Alexander Crow, candid
ates for sheriff, and signed by seven
teen of the most prominent Rupubli-
cans in the city. The signers ask
both gentlemen to withdraw as can
didates because of the probable con-
sequences to the national Republican
ticket and permit a new candidate to
be chosen by reconvened conver-
tlon. 1t is not yet known what ac-
tlon either Miles or Crow will take.

When a passenger train on the

stopped at Austin, Pot.-. County.
Friday, blood was discovered spatter-

car. 1t was subsequently learned that
an unknown man had boarded the
train at Heating Summit, and during
the ride up through the mountains he
was jolted down between the cars.
In some way his trousers leg caught
the brake beam, and his body, face
downward, went dangling along over
the ties. Marks on the track showed
that the man had been dragged two
miles in this manner. His mangled
body was beyond identification.

cation, and the leaders and the rank

tionists are for free silver and Bryan
and Sewall, although they have not
yet withdrawn their ticket. There
are at least 10000 votes for Bryan
among the ProhibitionistS.
"While there is some detection from
The Democratic party among gold
Democrats, the Democratic and Peo-
pies party vote is practically solid,
and the chances of carrying the state

are great. The Republican free silver
vote will be very large, and, in any
event, ample to give Bryan and Sewall
a good majority"
