Roth in Chicago and Running Right
 Along-Literature by the Carload.
 Chicago, June 29.-A" carload of litera- ture concerning the public career and the speech of the Missouri advocate for the white metal was unloaded today and will be at once put into circulation. There will be two Bland headquarters, one at the Auditorium Annex and the other at the Palmer house.
 Naturally enough, the headquarters of The bimetallic democratic committee at the sherman house were the chief cen ters of interest this morning, and before Senator Jones and Secretary Towles had finished breakfast a stack of cards from members of the local and state silver contingents lay alongside their plates.
 MT. Allen, who is secretary of the Bland executive committee, said Mis- sour's candidate was in the center of the silver cyclone, and added: You can form some idea of his popularity with the people of the west when l tell you that before the end of the week there will be in this city 5000 representative democrats from the west, who will do all in their power to further Mir Bland's interests do not think MT. Whitney's threat or manifesto will have any serious effect for he will find different situa- tion here than anything that has hereto fore confronted him. If there is a bolt of the gold men from the convention 1t will not amount to much, but I expect to see them drop into line for the success of the ticket Governor Stone will be here tomorrow. He is Bland's warmest supporter and the talk of rivalry Is only a campaign trick of opponents"
 The Bland headquarters in parlor A of the Auditorium Annex were pretty and effectively decora ted under Secretary AL lens direction, and Bland Autographs were seen conspicuous in the hotel and street windows.
 The Boies boom is also being well att tended to in this respect. and the man. agers at the Palmer house talk confi- dently of the prospects for his success. Sergeant at Arms Butler of the Iowa dele gation swelled the Iowa arrivals at the Palmer house today. He came to arrange for the formal opening of the Iowa head quarters July 1, as he will be in charge.
 "There will be 5000 Boies supporters in Chicago by the middle of next week." said MT Butler.
 One of the incidents of the day was

The machinery is being placed in position as rapidly as possible and Superintend- ent Miller informed a State Herald rep resentative yesterday that he will have everything in readiness to begin manu- featuring by July 10. Two car loads of material were received yesterday and several more cars are expected this week.
 You would be astonished," said Su- perintendent Miller, 'at the applications I have from parties who wish to furnish me with all kinds of filthy grease to go in my soaps. Some people fail to appre- ciate the fact that soaps are not made out of such stuff in this age of progress and competition. First-class soap malx- CTS use only the best material in the market. Why, many people eat every day grease inferior to that am forced to use in my soaps"
 With this explanation the genial su- perintendent showed the reporter through the building. pointing out his stock of oils and tallow. Things ap- peared more in the order of well kept restaurant than a soap factory
