A SPIRITUAL STANCE.
To Be Given by the Miller Brothers at the Opera House Tues
 day Evening.

The Miller Brothers arrived in the city yesterday and rented the Opera house for unique and interesting entertainment Tuesday evening, the 31st.
 They will give an illustrated lect- ure on spiritualism, accompanied by materializations and other interest ing features. Of their spiritualistic seanees the Savannah News, of Jan. 30, 1896, says:
 "There is one small boy in this town who will probably not grow any more in seven years, that is if the old saying about soaring seven years growth" out of person amounts to anything The small boy in question was on the stage at the theater last night and had been placed on guard at the side of Prof. Miller's spirit cabinet, where hecould see that nobody entered from the rear. The lights were turned low and Prof. Miller announced in a rather sepuIchral voice that there was materialized spirit inside of the cabinet, and that it would ap- pear. Slowly the curtains parted and a white-robed figured emerged with stately tread.
 Wow, wowp yelled thesmall boy. In one leap he covered the distance from the back of the stage to the footlights. And he wouldn't go back again, either. One like that was enough for him.
 "The seanee given by the Miller Brothers is an entertainment em- hracing a series of demonstrations of occult phenomena. The Millers gre not preaching spiritualism they do not pretend to possess supcrnat- ural powers; but they dc claim to produce some very peculiar manifes- tations. These are brought by nat ural means, they say, for nothing supernatural takes place on earth. When certain things occur they can not explain any more than it can be ezplained why the revolutions oi copper coils inside of iron cones pro- duces electricity. In the seance last night nearly, if not quite all, of the regulation spiritualistic manifesto. tions were produced.
 Don't forget the date-next Tues. day night. small admission fee will be charged to defray expenses.

Right OYER Della FOX.
Gotham Youths Battle on a Roof Over
Actress.

New York, Aug.1.-Two gilded youths
the gilt fresh, too, for one of them is
19 and the other a year younger-were
feeling stiff and battered up yesterday
as the result of a fist fight on the roof
of a house in the Riverside Drive in the
early morning.
The fight was about the respective
merits of two actresses old enough to
be the step mothers of the boys-DeIla
Fox and Edna Wallace Hopper.
The participants in the fight were
Charles Fowler Van Sickle and David
Mariner Leivson.
The trouble started on the Majestic
roof garden on last Tuesday night
Levison and Van Sickle. with Herbert
Edgar Meyers, of No. 314 Riverside
Drive, were engaged in a discussion
about the two actresses.
Della Fox said Levison, lis fat
and old. Mrs. Hopper is light as
feather, and pretty as a picture, and a
mere girl
You IeI'' exclaimed Van Sickle.
''Then up and threw the cracked ice
in my glass in his face said Levison,
as he told a reporter about the fight.
You see we used to run together, and
he was always Dragging about his
fights. He licked a good many fellows
and was laying for a good chance.
We made a grab for each other, but
Meyers got in between u.s.
After that the youngsters decided to
fight Yesterday morning they met at
Meyers house, No. 314 Riverside Drive
and going up on the roof, crossed over
to a vacant house three doors away.
Meyers was referee and there were
four witnesses. The first time the boys
rushed together, LevisOn stumbled over
and fell on a skylight. Van Sickle's
head was bruised and Levison hurt his
leg.
In the second round each got in sew
eral telling blows and they decided that
they had had enough.

ABUSE THEIR CHILDREN.
Western Silver Young Men Who Be-
long to Eastern GoIdbug Families.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Post pub
fishes a lengthy letter from a CORE
spondent it has sent into the west
which says:
"A spirit of ardent Americanism per-
vades the entire western population.
They believe in a. nation with a big N,
and think America is strong enough to
whip the rest of the world, if need be,
and surely to put into force any legis-
latiOn it may undertake without the
consent or cooperation of any other
government. They are wide-awake,
hospitabIe, and honorable. Sunset
Cox, after trip among them, aptly de-
scribed the westerners as the cream of
eastern young enterprise
Thousands of them regularly read
the eastern papers from their old
homes. For the first time in their lives
they now discover in these same pa
pers that they are idiots and AN
archists-" While Editor Dana, of the
New York Sun, is exhausting the ad-
jectiVes of abuse for western people in
general, his own nephew and adopted
son, John K. Dana, is quietly and in
dustriOusly earning a living on a wheat
and stock farm four miles west of
Oakesdale, this state, and is a free sill
yer man of the POpulist variety Ex-
Senator Frank Hiscock Of New York
expresses himself in an interview as
delighted, because the Republican
party is once and for all rid of those
crazy fanatics in the west;'' mean
time one of his sons is cultivatine a
fruit and alfalfa farm six miles north
of Yakima, and another is a. banker in
Tacoma, both being advocates of silver
coinage, and therefore among Mr. His
cocks 'crazy fanatics
w. H. COwles, a son of the CowIes
who helped Joseph MedilI to make the
chicago Tribune a great paper, is the
publisher of the SpOkesman-Review at
spokane, an enthusiastic champion of
free and unlimited coinage at the ratio
OF 16 to 1, and a paper that would be a
credit to any eastern city of $50 900. w.

employees and all acquafntances as a
pure hearted American and friend. He
gained his newspaper education on the
stan OF the Chicago Tribune, and his
patriotism and morality were nourisb-
ed as much by the teachings of ToseDb
Medlu as by Mr.. CowIes' own father
Yet the Chicago Tribune seems never
so happy as when denouncing the e7i-
tors OF western silver papers as hood

A COLORED BANKER.
He Thinks North Carolina VIII Be
Solid for Silver.

New York, Aug. ii. T. Sanders,
president of the Penny Savings and
Exchange bank of Charlotte, N. C.,who
has been in this city for the past ten
days, left last night for Philadelphia.
Mr.. Sanders and the other officers and
stockholders of his institution are all
colored. BY January 1881 will have
a paid in capital of S1O,0 600.
speaking of the political situation in
his state Mr.. Sanders said:
I'VE have a good many citizens who
will vote the Republican ticket ct the
coming election in spite of the fact that
they have heretofore been Democrats.
Nearly all of the Alliance, or Populist
party people will support Bryan and
Watson. From present indications the
silver people are going to sweep North
Carolina. I think they will carry the
state by a two-thirds vote"

THERE WAS TEXAS FEVER,
But All That Was Reported Was Not
Texas Fever.

The live stock sanitary board has been
quite busy during the past ten days in
vestigating the Texas fever scares
which have come out in Montgomery
and Pottawatomie counties.
In Montgomery county after a thor
ough investigation the board decided
that there was no fever.
A man named Ryan purchased 80
head of cattle at the Kansas City stock
yards and shipped them out to his
pasture, near Blaine, Pottawatomie
county.
They began to show signs of fever
and the board upon investigation pro-
nounced it to be Texas fever. So far
nine have died. A few others that were
sick are recovering. The cattle have
been quarantined in an isolated pas
ture and have not been in any other
pasture since their arrival. No new
cases have been reported, and it is be-
Heved that danger of a further out
break is past.

MINNESOTA AND MICHIGAN.
Sound Money Men Feel the Need OF
Help Against Silver.

Washington, Aug. WORD has been
received here that Minnesota is in dan
ger of being swept into the free silver
tide, in spite of the efforts of ex-Gov-
ernor Merriam and Senator Cush
Davis.
1t appears that the free silver men
have put up ]. Lind, the one-armed ex-
congressman, for governor on the Bry-
an ticketL ind is the idol of the Swed-
ish residents of Minnesota, both DEM
ocratic and Republican. and it is said
that he will probably carry the state
with him. Even the Republicans ad-
init that it was a very adroit move on
the part of the Bryanites to select Lind
as their standard bearer in Minnesota,
for he Yields a powerful influence over
the Norwegians and Swedes, who are
50 numerous in that state. The cry of
help has already come from the Repub-
Hcan leaders there, and assistance will
be at once dispatched to them.
A note of warning has also been re-
ceived from the state of Michigan, which
is undergoing one of the fierceSt bat
ties in its history The free silVerites
claim to have torn down all the party
barriers and are now Wag1ng a war OF
fusion or confusion, which is democrat
izing to party discipline. Many of the
Republican leaders in that state are
said to be lukewarm in their admira-
ton of Mckinley, and they complain
that Marc Hanna is lacking in ability
to manage the campaign single handed
and alone on the line he has mapped
out. Altogether there is a feeling of
discomfort among the Republicans
there, and the free silverites are taking
advantage of the situation with results
that threaten to defeat the Mckinley
ticket in that state.

IOWA SAFELY REPUBLICAN,
Saws Senator Allison, Who Passed
Through Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. Senator w. B. Al
lison of Iowa arrived in the city yes
terday and registered at the Auditor
rum Annex. He viii leave today for
the seashore, where he will remain for
a couple of weeks. after which he viii
begin active campaign work
I have no fears regarding Iowa. he
said THE state can be safely counted
upon for substantial majority for the
Republican ticket. There is, of course,
some disaffection among the farmers,
but from what I can learn do not
think it at all serious, and am confident
it will be more than made up by Dem
ocratic accessiOns.
But the Republicans must not rest
upon the assurance that they have
right clearly on their side. They must
work, and work vigorously, too. The
silver people have shown that they
have an excellent organization, and
they have for a long time past been
flooding the country with their Htera-
ture The long continued hard times
have been a valuable ally to them, and
Republicans have a big job on hand"

BIG WAGER ON M'KINLEY.
Louis LON bard Wants to Bet $4,000
to 900 He Will Win.

New York, Aug. Louis Lombard
of LombardaIe, North Bay New York,
has so much confidence in the common
sense of the voters of the United States
and so strong a faith that the silver
craze is only an aff1iction of the dog
days that he is willing to wager $40, 900
to $4,000 that the boy orator of the
Paltte" will not be the next president
of the United States.
He has gold, and only in gold will he
wager, demanding that who ever ac-
cept his offer shall put up 100 per cent
money Mr.. Lombard is a successful
man of business, and if he chose to
wager 100000 instead of $1O,O 900 he
could do it, lose and be undisturbed.

EIGHT HOURS AGAIN.
w. 6. Bird Enforces It in the State
House Ground Improvements.

The men who are at work for the
Kansas City Gravel Bank company on
the drives and walks around the state
house were notified yesterday that be
ginning with Friday eight hours would
constitute a days work.
When the executive council let the
contract for this piece of work it
agreed to do a certain part and the
gravel company was to take up their
work and complete it. Under the state
law eight hours constitutes a day
work on all work done for the state of
Kansas. The men employed by the
executive council to do it's part of the
work were only required to do eight
hours work.
When the contractor went to work
he required the men hired by him to
put in ten hours each day. This has
been going on for over two weeks, IN
til yesterday, when it was called to the
attention of w. G. Bird, the labor COM
missioner He made arrangements to
begin legal proceedings against the
contractors. When the contractors
found what was being done they began
an eight hour schedule. If the eight
hour schedule is continued nothing
will probably be done as regards the
work already done.
