News That Comes to Headquarteri
From Various States.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Valuable vol
unteer are joining the Republican cam
paign forces daily. Yesterday Samuel
J. Randall, Jr., of Philadelphia, offered
his services to the national committee.
Mr.. Randall is a son of the famous ex-
speaker of the house of representa-
tives and is renowned as an orator, al
though only % years old.
This is only one of the many eviden-
ces that young men are coming to the
front for Mckinley. F. B. Smith of
Kinsley, Kan, says that the Germans
who have voted with the Democrats on
the liquor issue are out for the Repub-
ican ticket this year. Smith is con-
stantly travelling over the state and
feels certain of 10000 Republican ma
jority.
The chief of the German literary bu-
reau of the Republican national com
mittee came east from Milwaukee for
consultation yesterday. He is julius
Goldschmidt, ex-consul to Vienna,
recognized authority on the affairs of
his fellOw-countryme in the west. He
reports that the Germans of the cen
trail western states are united and pre-
diets that Wisconsin will give McKin-
ley $4,000 majority.
The free silver sentiment is giving
way before education and discussion"
said Mr.. Goldschmidt. I'VE are issu-
ing literature in all the languages spo-
ken in the western states, and it is hav-
ing a powerful effect
To politicians the attitude of the
hardware and metal merchants is pc
culiarly significant just now. Large
numbers of them are Democrats, and
in the Cleveland campaign in 1892 they
formed club of more than 5000 mem
bers. This year there is no club for
Bryan.
Judge o. NJ. Spencer of st. Joseph,
No, attorney of the Chicago BurIing-
ton & Quincy railroad, who carried Mr.
Bryan in his private car from Kansas
City over the Burlington & Missouri
River system, has announced in a pri-
vate letter to a friend in WASHINGTON
that he cannot support the young man
from Nebraska, and will cast his first
vote for the Republican ticket this fall
Judge Willard Hall of Kansas City,
ex-member of the court of appeals and
brother of Congressman Hall, has also
declared himself against the Chicago
platform and ticket.

BRIDE SELLS HER KISSES.
She Thus Secures Funds to Cover Her
Wedding Trip.

New York, Aug 28.-Terisino Farna-
chi and TOmaso Marcosino were mar
ried at Mount Vernon last night with
considerable ceremony. After the we'd
ding there was a general jollification
at the home of friend, in which near
ly the whole Italian colony partici-
pated. The festivities lasted until late
this morning, and every man who
wished to kiss the bride or to dance
with her was compelled to give a pres
ent of money.
By this unique arrangement the cou-
pie secured enough funds to cover their
wedding trip. Back of these nuptials
lies a little romance. The bride and
bridegroom were lovers from child
hood When MarcosinO was 16 years
old he left his home in Florence and
came to America. Before sailing he
promised Terisino that when he had
made money enough he would return
and claim her as his bride. After fif-
teen years letters from Marcosino's
fiancee suddenly ceased and he believ-
ed her either dead or married. But one
day last year the two met Unexpected
ly in this city, the old love was re-
newed and the day set for the wedding
which occurred last night.

GIVEN M'KINLEY BADGES.
Employees at swift's Packing House
are Infiuenc ed

Kansas City, Aug. 2S.-At Swift's
packing house, when the time checks
were given out, each employe was Of
fered a Mckinley button. Some re-
fused them; some took them.
Reports of the matter caused a good
deal of agitation in labor circles in
Armourdale today. It was stated that
some who had refused the buttons had
been discharged last night, but this is
denied by the firm. This method of
campaign work was severely criticised
among workingmen, a majority Of
whom are for Bryan.
F. W. Wilder, acting manager of the
Swift plant, said to a correspondent
that the firm was for Mckinley and
proposed to use every honorable means
to bring about his election. This, the
members thought, they had a right to
do. The buttons were bought in Chi
cagO, and one had been offered to each
of the men.

feet his jOb?" he was asked.
No, sir answered Mr.. Wilder eve

The men, however, believe that the
distribution of the Mckinley buttons
was an attempt to bul1dOze them.

FORESEE BRYANS ELECTION
Money From Michigan Banks Being
Deposited in Canada.

Detroit, Aug. 2s.-The silver agitation
on this side of the border has resulted
in extensive deposits being Withdrawn
from banks here within the last few
days and taken across the river to Can
ada and deposited in Canadian banks.
Local bankers say that Withdrawals
have been very heavy for the last
week, and the cashiers of institutions
on the other side say that they have
had deposits of upwards of $50, 900 with
in the last few days from Americans,
and that the movement still continues.
The movement has attained such pro-
portions that several of the Windsor
(Ont.,) banks have had 20 reduce their
rate of interest on these American de-
posts from 81 per cent, their regular
rate, to 275, and in several cases to 2
per cent, while one bank has decided
to refuse to pay any interest at all.
Those who have been placing their
cash in the Canadian banks say they
have done so because Canada is a gold
standard country, and their money will
not thus suffer any depreciation
through the adoption of free coinage
on this side of the line

VESSEL WITH A HISTORY.
The Ship Ida, Famous During the Re
beIlion, Being OverhauIed.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2S.-The oIdAmer-
lean ship Ida, with a history dating
back to the days of the rebellion, when
she successfully ran the gauntlet of
pr1Vateers and cruisers preying on the
merchant marine, was reported yester-
day at the breakwater in charge of the
tug boat James McCauley. Her miz-
zen, main and foretop- gallant masts
are gone, the result of storm she en-
countered while on her way to the Ber-
mudas and she was sold by underwrit-
ers to American shipping men. She
Will be given a general Overhauling and
the expectation is that she will yet be
made to bear the brunt of many years
of valuable service.
The Ida was built in East Boston
during the rebellion and traded be-
tween that port and the West Indies,
and very frequently had narrow es-
capes from being seized by confederate
privateers. When the risk of carrying
a cargo to foreign ports became one of
great danger, the Ida, whose name was
originally George H. Warren, surren-
dered her natiOality and flew the Prus-
sian flag. When the rebellion ended
she was given an American registry,
and now, after an absence of twenty
five years, she comes back to this port
possibly to be made as strong as when
she first sailed the high seas.

MAY GO SHARK HUNTING.
The Ugly Monsters Swarm in New
York Bay.


New York, Aug. 28.-Ever since the
fercely hot weather large numbers of
sharks have been seen in New York
bay. They have become so numerous
that it has become a favorite sport for
residents of New Brighton and Snug
Harbor to go shark hunting with rifles
and shOtguns.
The sharks are of a grayish color,
with white bellies. Many of them are
six and eight feet long. Jacob Walker
assistant lighthouse keeper on Rob
bins reef, said yesterday:
1.-The shallow water in the flats just
south of the light house is a favOrite
resort for the sharks. There are so
many of them that they have become
very bold. They swim right up to the
light house and play in the water
around it.
zone evening last week more than
dozen paid US visit. After watching
them for a time I fired at two of them
with my rifle. They were not more
than six feet away and am sure that
I hit them. They dived Immediately
after I fired, and the shark party was
quickly broken up.
''SOon after the six men had been
rescued by the Hoboken Boat club
from a capsized sail boat I rOwed out
to the scene of the accident. The boat
lay on her side. Splashing near it were
six large sharks. They looked hungry
and disappointed"

HARLAN FOR M'KINLEY.
The Noted Chief Justice Cannot Vote
for Bryan.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-'You can say
for me that 1 am for sound money, and
hope to see Mr.. Mckinley elected pres
ident. I shall under no circumstances
declare for Bryan and SewaH. Any as
sertion to that effect is unauthorized
and unwarranted."
Such was the emphatic statement
made by Associate Justice Harlan of
the United States supreme court, when
his attention was called to a newspa-
per paragraph setting forth the fact
that within a few days he would proba-
bly, announce his allegiance to the Chi
cagO platform and nominees The ex-
pectatiOn of his prospective support
was based on Justice Harlan's dissent
ing opinion to the decision of the su-
preme court pronouncing the income
tax feature of the Wilson tariff bill IN
constitutional.

has caused many farmers to ship who
would not have done so if the old tar
ifs had been maintained.
THE farmer who ships now will, oW-
ing to the low freight rates, net about
as much from his corn as he would last
year OF course if he has the cribber
to pay he will not make much.
THE farmers loss is the consumers
gain. All corn products will be cheap.
Corn is the great American staple. 1t
makes bread for US, it fattenS our
pork, it feeds our poultry and our
stock. Cheap corn means the cheap
ening of hundreds of articles of food.
THE outlook for a rise in the price
of corn consider very fair. The years
crop which will soon be ready for mar
ket should find a ready sale. The cot
ton states will draw largely on the sup
ply, as the crop there this year is a
failure.
'"Then again the oats that are com
ing into the market are very poor, al
most unfit for use, in fact. A great
many stock owners will use corn for
feeding in preference to inferior oats.
Neither the elevator people nor the
commission men will gain or lose any
thing by the fall in price They are
paid by the bushel for the grain they
handle regardless of the price of the
commodity.
L do not think there has been any
effort to bear the corn market. The
man who would attempt to bear the
market to make a profit under present
conditions would be an idiot. The ten
dency has been rather the other way,
but it is mighty hard to force prices up
when Nebraska alone is producing 30O,-
100000 bushels of corn in a year.
Capt. Joseph S. Nansen is a heavy
dealer in corn. He was busy with pen
ell and paper when the reporter drop
ped into his office.
Il am just trying to figure out where
the farmer comes in on this deal,'' he
said.
I find that when he gets through
shipping his corn he owes himself mon
ey. It's fact. The average rate on
corn for st. Louis from western points
is 10 cents per hundred pounds, or
about 61a cents a bushel The commits
sion man at the other end of the line
gets Il cent a bushel for shipping the
corn, and the commission man here
2 cents a bushel for selling it; total, 9
cents. With corn at 1912 cents, the
farmer receives 1850 cents a bushel as
his share. Mind you I have included
only the expense of getting the corn on
the market The average farm will
yield so bushels to the acre. At the
present price he would get $5.25 for the
product of his acre of ground. No
farmer can raise corn at an expense
of much less than 20 cents a bushel, or
SO an acre. Yes, if something doesn't
happen, the farmer is going to starVe
this winter"
The following table, compiled from
the Merchants Exchange record, shows
the range of corn during the past fif-
teen years:
