mctallism"-that is, of silver mono "nor shall do anything unfair to MT. Sewall."
 He will not refuse the populist nomi. nation, although he gave orders that his name be withdrawn if Sewall was not nominated. That was only bluff. lie will accept that nomination, al- though, as he asserts, "the platform in dorses some policies which I do not ap- prove of" That statement is made lest some of his supporters should be alarmed. At heart he indorses the en. tire platform, fiatism and all.
 Bryan announces that his action twill depend entirely upon the condi. tons attached to the nomination. There will be no conditions attached to it. He will accept formally the popo crat nomination next month. Then he will call on the national committee of the populists to oust Watson. It will do so, and he will accept the populist nomination.
 Watson may writhe and squirm, and may refuse to be pacified with the prom ise of an office. Some of the populiste in some of the southern states may swear they have been cheated and threaten to bolt. But if they do it will amount to nothing. The election ma. chinery in those states is in the hands of the popocrats, and they can make returns to suit themselves, no matter how the votes are cast.
 The populists and popocrats have practically become one. The former are little more advanced. They want fiat script and the confscation of rail. roads. But if the coalition should win the principles of the more radical wing would become those of the entire party.-Chicago Tribune.

Ruchcs Worn This Season.

The revival of the ruche as q trim ming should be hailed with delight by the amateur, so easily is it made, so effective is it. Of its popularity, there- fore, there can be no doubt, and already 1t is much in evidence. A Paris model gown seen the other day had every skirt seam outlined with ruchings, it's slecve-epaulets being adorned in the same manner. These ruchings may be made of glace or sarcenet silk or even the thinner kinds of ribbon. Some times they match, sometimes they con- trast with the frock they trim, but of whatever shade or fabric, they give the latest up-to-date touch to any cos tune.

HAIL INJURIES MANY.

An Unprecedented storm at Montpelier.
 Ind.-People Felled to the Ground.
 MONTPELIER, Ind, July 29.-Hail, the like of was never before seen in this county, fell here yesterday within a radius of ten miles. The damage to property and growing crops will foot into the thousands. No fatalities are reported, but a number of people were injured. Small stock suffered to an alarming extent. The storm lasted 20 minutes, and during the first half it was terrific, stones varying in size from small pebble to a goose egg filled the air. Many people were struck by the flying missiles and felled to the ground before they could gain shelter.

CYCLING ON WATER.

Speed of Four Miles an Hour Made by .
 Tandem Machine on the Potomac.
 WASHINGTON, July 29.-A water bi- cycle which has been recently invented has been successfully tested in the Po- tomac river, near Washington. The test demonstrated the fact that bicycling on water may become as fascinating as bicycling on land. The new bicycle is tandem and carried two men, whose com bined weight was $50 pounds. It is called 8 hydrocycle. This is mounted between two cigar-shaped air tight floats, and is operated by pedals and paddles, and is steered by a fin resembling the tail of shark. Though speed of only four miles an hour was attained, it is claimed that under more favorable circumstances ten miles can be made,

A WAGE DESTROYER.
How Free Silver Would Affect Million
 Railway EmplOyes.


 Railway Employes.
 q can't argue the case like you," said the hired man, but know that if Bry- Tn is elected you will have to pay me ,ixteen dollars for moving this lawn instead of the one dollar you pay me now"
 For many years we Americans have ,een pluming ourselves on the fact that 'the schoolmaster is abroad" If this lired man were the representative of my considerable class of laborers we might we'll wish that the schoolmaster would come home and attend to busi- ness in the agricultural districts during this presidential campaign. It would, however, be an insult to the intelligence of the working masses to assume that their type is to be found in this thick skulled mower of lawns. About 42 per cent. of all the productive !aborers of this country are directly iependent upon the cultivation of the ;oil, and these people, if they are made tO fairly understand the issue, may be trusted to vote for what is honest and right.
 Next to tillers of the soil the largest group of workers is made up of those 'ngaged in the transportation industry the railway employees. In the state of New York alone there are about 60,000 of these; and, taking the whole country, they number about ,O0O, ,0OO, or not far from ten per cent. of the entire voting population. The various grades of rail- way workers have their several organ 'zations, and these are studying the ef- fects of free silver, as is evident from the numerous letters which reach the Her aid asking for information; and we will state here few suggestive facts by way of general reply.
 The vast army of railway toilers would suffer more hardship than per Laps any other class by unlimited coin- age of 53 cent dollars. All wage earn ITS, of course, would be distressed be- :ause all the necessaries of life would immediately nearly double in price,

VICTIMS OF A FLooo

Eight Persons Drowned Near Pittsb,ro.
 Pa.-Great Damage to Property. '
 PITTSBURGH. Pa.. July 29.-Eight MO- sons were drowned in the flood MonS.- night. Seven -f these met dea,h Cecil, mining and oil hamlet in Wash ington county, the eighth victim poina down at Carnegie. Samuel McKinnao kept boarding house at Cecil for ,hs accommodation of oil men and miners The house was situated on the banl, n. Miller's run, tributary of Chart;e,s creek. Ordinarily the run, which flows through valley banked by high and steep hills. would scarcely float chin but last night cloudburst filled in i,s closely confined qu uarters to such an ex. tent that everything along it's banks was endangered.
 There were 13 people in the McK;,. ney home when the water commenced to rise at 9:3O p. m., but no seriops danger was apprehended by any of them. Suddenly the house. a two. story frame, was washed. from ;,s foundation into the seething waters and rapidly carried down stream The house crashed against bridge 200 yards down the stream and the oc. cupants were thrown into the stream. tossed here and there by the ragino waters. There were several narrow escapes and many heroic attempts at rescue, but of the 13 who were in the house seven were drowned.
 At Braddock hail added to the dam. age and when the hurricane reached Turtle creek it assumed the awful pro. portions of a cyclone, doing untold damage. In the oil fields, derricks were blown down, particularly in OHara township Sewickley, Coraop. oils, Bellvue and McKees Rock suffered severely. In Millsvale and Sharps. burg it played havoc and glaziers will be busy for several days.
 Dispatches from all points report heavy damage from the storm. and many narrow escapes, but fortunately no more fatalities.

Practically Absorbsd by the Popocratio Party.
 The bargain has been closed after about week of dickering, and what there is of the populist party worth having has been delivered to Bryan. A party which claimed to be the incarna- ton of rugged virtue and devotion to tine people has sold out for a promised share of the spells of office. Some of the delegates who were honest were duped. The nomination of Watson for the purpose of facilitating that of Bryan was disreputable trick, worthy of the interruptions schemers who de- vised it.
 To secure an indorsement of Sewall | would have been a difficult task. The convention would have accepted Till man unhesitatingly, whom the popo- crats should have nominated, but to ask it to swallow the Lone Fisherman, who is about all the things the popu- lists have been denouncing, was too much.
 Therefore, in order to trap the "mid. dle-of-the-road" men, they were all lowed to nominate the impossible Tom Watson for vice president. Then in the teeth of declarations from Bryan that he would not allow Sewall to be sac rificed, the convention proceeded to nominate Bryan.
 The bargain struck between the popu- list leaders and the Bryan managers is that Watson, the stool pigeon. is to be put off the ticket in the course of time. Watson may not like it, but he cannot help himself The honor bestowed upon | him is q barren one.
 The populist national committee, which is in Bryan's hands, has been given "plenary powers over the party after the convention adjourns, to do all things that the convention would do if in session." That committee may not put Sewall on the ticket, but will take Watson off, and there will be only one set of electors.

 Bandaging cut finger is probably the simplest of surgical operations, yet not one in hundred can do it success fully. The bandage ordinarily put on a finger is very unsatisfactory. It is either very clumsy, through the use of a superabundance of material, or it gets loose and slips off. Court plaster is always more or less dangerous; many serious cases of blood poisoning have been produced by it's use.
 A very simple and effective bandage has been devised by Dr. S. George Her. nance, which enables everyone to be his own surgeon. It has many advantages
