Harper's Magazine.

An important feature of Harper's
Magazine for several months to come
will be Poultney Bigelow's series OF
papers on the :" White Mans Africa" "
treating in the authors original and
striking way the new continent recent

The first paper, in the November
number, will give a novel view of
Jameson's raid from material placed in
the authors hand by an English ply
stefan and a Boer oficial-thus pre-.

THERE is to be a very hot fight
made by the republicans for the state
of Illinois. The heaviest guns in the
party are to be fired all over the terri
tory which has been the camping
ground of John P. Altgeld. Chauncey
M. Depew is there; Speaker Thomas
B. Reed opens about the 18th; Arrange
ments are being made to have EXPIRES
ident Harrison make a tour the last
two weeks of the campaign; Col. Rob-
ert G.. Ingersoll will let go few hot
shells; Postmaster Washington Heslng
will talk under the Sound Money
league, and ex-Senators Hale and

rison and Reed will camp on Altgeld's
trail, while with them will be eX-Gov.
Beveridge, eX-Gov. Oglesby, ex-Gov.
Cullom, ex-Gov. Fifer, ex-Lieut.- Gov.

guns which will shake the silver bull
warks of the "pivotal" state, as the
silverites were wont to call it a short
time ago, if they can be shaken.

A DEMOCRATIC congressman from
Alabama has been telling tales out of
school. He says there are not less
than Is 900 democrats in his state, who
will, under no circumstances, vote for
Bryan, and he adds: Kentucky will
probably vote for Mckinley, and like
wise Maryland and West Virginia l
think there is no chance for Bryan to
be elected. The free silver movement
is not now as strong as it was only a
little while ago. 1t grows steadily
weaker This is not to be wondered
at. AS men examine the question they
become convinced that free coinage is a
delusi0n.u

WAS A DELIBERATE PURPOSE
The Democrats Did Not Intend to Recog-
nize the Popolists on Their Ticket.

1t now appears that there was de-
liberate purpose on the part of the
democratic campaign managers of Ken
osha county to ignore the populists in
the making up of the county ticket
this fall. Notwithstanding the many
protestations of friendship which the
populists have received from the demo
cratic managers, facts are leaking out
from the inside of the charmed circle of
democratic management which show
the most deliberate setting about the
turning down of populistic hopes.
Several times the democratic man
ayers told representative populists that
they would be pleased to place some
populist on the ticket in case the nom
inees of the convention should not all
stick. 1t seems now that it was known
for some days before the meeting of the
county committee that at least Mr..
Kerwin would not make the run for the
county clerkship.
The moment that fact became known
instead of making an attempt to live
up to promises extended to popullsts,
the committee instructed a certain
well-knoWn democratic politician to go
out into the county to find a suitable
democratic candidate for the place.
That politician did as he was told to
do and he got Henry Zeihen to permit
the use of his name, and not the slight
est attention was paid to the populists.
When the county committee met,
this politician, though not member
Of the committee, was present and
made known his selection and it went
through without question, though the
populist committee was present and
proposed a name for the place, the one
man who voted for the populist moving
Immediately after the informal ballot
that that ballot be declared formal.
That nominated Zeihen by 5 votes out
of the s.
These facts are just leaking out and
they are having tendency to draw
out the knives of the populists.

SO GEORGE DU MAURIER is gone.
The famous author of Trilby," the
illustrious cartoonist and artist, has
passed to that bourne from which 10
traveller returns. All America will
mourn the departure of this versatile
man, since for years he has he'd a
place in their hearts which has been a
nook altogether his own. He is not to
be compared with any other artist or
! author, though he was undoubtedly
the most popular author since the days
of Dickens. His book "TriIby"
was masterpiece, and by it his fame
will be handed down from generation
to generation. It was such success
as no other piece Of literature is likely
to attain or repeat Combining as the
book does the Gallo ease and light
ness Of touch with the thorough appre-
citation aud assimilation of the best
English, it will stand as a rare monu-
ment to the genius OF one able to COM
bine two widely different schools of
thought and expression.
Now D1Maurier is gone, and such a
pathetic going! Spurred on by the
remarkable success of the book he ex-
erted himself beyond his strength,
until he died the death portrayed by
his remarkable character, Svengali.
One of DuMaurier's friends, who was
present at his death, said:
He died almost as tragically as
Svengali. At the zenith of Trilby's
fame Svengali became a victim of an
affection of the heart, and Du Maurier
has gone the same way. At the zenith
of his popularity the author has sue
cumbed to the heart trouble from which
he always suffered, his suffering being
accumulated by the constant succession
of exciting incidents in which the clos
ing months of his life were past.
Checks rained in upon him as his old
heart trouble increased. This heart
trouble, complicated with an affection
of the lungs, took him off.

Col. j. W. POWELL, in a record of
adventures in the west, tells of having
stepped out onto a sort Of platform,
which was very narrow, where by
hanging onto a small cleft in the rock
he could look down into roaring cata-
ract 400 feet below. He found when be
got there that he either had to get as
sistance to get off or run the liability
of becoming dizzy and falling off. The
account is very hair raising, but is in
indefinite in its most important par
ticular. He forgets to mention whether
the platform he stood on was the silver
or the gold democratic.

REPUBLICANS as rule have not
been considering that the party has
more than fighting chance to carry
Missouri, but recent news from that
state indicates that it will be carried
for Mckinley. For instance, a poll has
been made in one of the congre ssional
districts which was regarded as reliably
democratic, as it has been represented
in the house by a democrat for years.
The poll shows that 81 per cent. of the
entire vote of the district has de-
clared its intention to vote the re-
publican ticket in November. With
the same ratio of gain throughout the
state, the republicans will have an
immense majority.

What Is
PURIFINE?

It Is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being o scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.0o
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea Is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell Of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
If you judge by the lack of odor.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, July IL
Water for domestic use is selling at 90
cents a barrel in Williams, A. T., and it
is hauled 100 miles, the nearest source
of supply The arid portion of the Ter
ritory is always very dry in summer,
but no such drought as that which now
prevails has ever been experienced
since the Territory was settled. The
rainfall during the winter was small,
not sufficient to fill the reservoirs that
are depended on in summer, and the
result is a water famine
