REV. LESLIE POTTER PROM 1TED.

The home friends of Rev. Leslie
F. Potter will be pleased to know that
his ability in the ministry has already
been recognized by a call to the
paetorate of one of the best churches
in the city of Omaha. Mr.. Potter has
been at Mexico, Mo, for the past two
years, and the Mexico Ledger, in
making the announcement of this
contemplated change says:
Rev. Leslie FentOn Potter who for the past
two years has been the rector of St. Paurs
Episcopal Church in this city, has accepted a
call to become rector of st Matthias Church IN
Omaha, Eeb. and will leave for that change
during the first week in November Such was
the announcement made by him at the close of
the evening service at his church Sunday and
it came as a sad surprise to the members of his
congregation.
Rev. Mr.. Potter came to Mexico in June. 1894,
and during the time he has been here has won
the love of his congregation and made scores of
friends outside of his church. He is a young
man, but his work as rector of st. PauPs has
been aggressive and effective and his an
nouncement last evening will be regretted by
all his friends and parisbIoners The church
to which he has accepted a call is large and
beautiful one in Omaha and the congregation
is a wealthy one.
During Rev. Mr.. PotteFs stay here IS persons
have been confirmed, % baptized and % received
into the church by transfer. The total number
of communicates of ST. Paurs is now 1O7 The
Ledger regrets to see Mexico lose Rev. and Mrs.
Potter and the best wishes of large number
of friends will follow them to their new home.

Among the most gratifying Access
sions to the Republican party in
Allen county this year, is Capt. VIM.
Braucher, of Cottage Grove. Capt.
Braucher has been staunch Demo-
crat for number of years, but he is
outspoken this year for Mckinley,
and declares he is i'm the Republican
party to stay. Mr.. Braucher is an old
soldier and one of the most prominent
farmers of the county, and his open
and courageous stand will materially
strengthen the Republican party.

1t is said that there are 500 million
people living in countries that are now
on silver basis. Undoubtedly those
people have contracted many, many
million dollars of debts. If the effect
of free coinage in the United State
will be to double the value of silver,
as Mr.. Bryan says it will, will it not
double all these debts? Are our free
coinage friends such great philanthro-
pists after all when, according to their
own showing the thing they advocate
will double the debts of 500 p1illion
people?

Popocratic newspapers and orators
have practically abandoned even the
weak attempts at argument with
which they began the campaign, and
are talking about almost nothing else
but the coercion" of the employees
of the factories and railroads, and the
"corruptiOn' of voters by the Repub-
lican managers. What do these
papers and orators think of the
Ameican people, any way? Do they
think they are lot Of poltroons, to he
buI-dozed into voting for a man
against their will? Or that they are
unprincipled mercenaries, to he
bought like cattle? To charge that
this election is to be decided by
coercion and corruption is to charge
the American people with cowardice
and dishonesty. The men who make
the charges know they are false. They
are simply making them because
they know they are whipped, and
they want to pave the way for de-
claring that the defeat which they
now see is certain, was accomplished
by fraud. 1t is an old and very trans
parent trick.

In local paper last week an item
appeared to this effect: ct. S. Ball, a
leading Republican of Allen county
says: No free silver Republican will
vote his sentiments if he votes for Me-
Kinley." Mr.. Ball asks the REGIS
TER to say in the most emphatic
language that he never said anything
of the kind. On the contrary his ad-
vice to all silver men is to vote for
Mckinley and the Republican party,
as they are the only true friends of
silver.
In the New York pool rooms the
betting is three to one on Mckinley.
Which does not prove that betting is
right; but which does show which
way the wind is blowing.

+ The Interstate Railroad Commits
sion in its last report makes a COM
paris0n between the wages paid to
the railroad employees in this country
in 1892 and in sos, and shows that
the net loss in wages the latter year
as compared with the former was ST.
369,0SS. And this does not include
the wages of 1881 hands that were
thrown out of employment altogether,
and whose wages, amounting to $40
00G,000 were total loss. Knowing,
as we all do, that we had the same fl
nancial system in 1892 as we had in
1895, does any one believe for
moment that this reduction in wages
and consequent loss of S27, 000, 900
was due to the "gold Standard" I?
Can there be any possible doubt that
it resulted from the change in the
tariff, and that the thing for this
country to do is to get back to the
conditions that prevailed in 1892?

1t is a very sad fact that the more a
woman trusts TO the skill of her physician
in treating her female complaints, the
longer she is apt to suffer
Lydia L. Pinkham fully realized this
fact when she commenced that exhaus-

covered the source of female complaints,
and produced the Vegetable Compound,
which is their absolute cure.
When such testimony as the following
is given, the woman who thinks should
act quickly, and no longer permit herself
to trust to incompetent doctors. The
Vegetable Compound is sold by all drug
