Pure Vo05.
 Butterine is 8 much abused product. As 8 matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited She factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: "The product is palatable and wholesome and regard 1t as a most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. s. w. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

Addicks-Opposed to Silver.
 Dover, Del, May 12.-The republican state convention was called to order at 12 o'clock on the third floor of the state house in a small room, which was un- comfortably crowded. Addicks' men an- nounced that they were anxious to avoid a turmoil. A large majority of the dele gates wore Mckinley badges When Ad- dicks entered the convention hall shortly before F o'clock he was greeted by loud cheering, which was repeated several times. Addicks bowed his acknowledg- ments. After the cheers had been re- peated there were several misses. Gen ! eral Wilson, chairman of the state com mittee, opened the proceedings by an- nouncing that at the request of the ma jority he named Dr. Caleb Layton, an Addicks man, for temporary chairman. Dr. Layton was introduced and there was no opposition, and without making a speech called for the regular business. Hugh c. Browne of Wilmington, Hig- gins man, was made temporary secre- tary. Contests were announced in three wards of Wilmington. Col. Henry N Du- pont's name was called as a delegate from Christian Hundred, but there was no response. Dupont Is claimant for a seat in the United States senate now in dispute.
 The first test of strength was upon the question of appointing the committees. It showed that Addicks had 97 votes in the convention and the opposition 52. The opposition kicked up a tremendous uproar during the entire session, but the Addicks men controlled the business. A recess was taken until 2:30. At o'clock the convention reassembled and Dr. Lay ton was made permanent chairman.
 The committee on resolutions reported the platform. It reaffirms the principles of the party and allegiance to the same, opposes the free and unlimited coinage of silver and declares that until there is an international agreement we believe the present money system should be maintained and every dollar made as good as every other dollar"
 The Mckinley bill was indorsed.
 The platform faVors uninStructed dele gates to the national convention, they to decide for whom they shall vote, and ex- pressed sympathy with the Cubans who are struggling for liberty.
 After the platform was read the anti Addicks delegates bolted and organized a convention of their own. The Addicks men appointed delegates in the place of bolters, and completed their business by choosing delegates and alternates and a state committee. J. Edward Addicks headed the St. Louis delegation.
 The bolters duplicated the work of the Addicks men, except that their platform indorses Mckinley. The delegation is headed by Ex-United States Senator An thony Higgins.

WHERE IS GOODBAR.
A Travelling Man Disappears Very Mysteriously and His Whereabouts Unknown-his,
 House Inquiring for Him.

A mysterious disappearance which has taken place here is just beginning to be talked of, and in fact little has been known about it by the general public. It is of interest, not only here but in Cincinnati. On April p there appeared upon the register of the Florence hotel this name, 'L. H. Goodbar, Cincinnati, O. This at the time created little at tention, for the person was man about 30 years of age, dark moustache, weight about 155 pounds and probably about 5 feet inches in height. He was dressed in light gray suit, and wore straw hat and tan shoes.
 One thing about him that was not mo- ticed was that his right leg was about inches shorter than the left. This de- formity was overcome by patent exten- sion shoe, which defied detection of any deformity wha atever.
 Goodbar is the president of the Gin cinnati Extension Shoe company, and was here taking orders for his house. He made himself acquainted about the hotel, and was pointed out by those who knew as having one leg shorter than the other. He spent the time here in working his line until the morning of the 9th instant. That morning he re- ceived telegraphic order from his house for $30. This he received, and Wiien IaSt Seen was on a ffatI Clty uuH- my on his way to Pratt City to sell some of his shoes.
 Since that time nothing has been heard of Goodbar although his house has writ ten here asking of his whereabouts. The police have done all they could to locate him, but he can or has not at least been found
 His house is one of good standing, and of which he is president, and the cause of his disappea is a mystery which seems to be one of unfathomabe depths. Nothing can De learned giving a clew to his disappearance, and to say the least of it, it Is a mystery.

lice Were Roasted.
 Cincinnati, O., May 12.-L. J. Crawford began the argument in Scott Jackson's defense at Newport this morning.
 After four weeks in which to prepare this trial" he began, "and after three weeks trial I shall attempt to defend as best I can this unhappy student, who finds himself In the meshes of the law. This has been one of the most selfish, bit ter prosecutions of modern times, and l say that without qualification.
 When the Cincinnati police authorities form theory as to any crime, that the ory must be Vindicated at any cost. And the more public the crime the greater the zeal to prove the theory of the police. Who are the wonderful detectives who have worked up this case? One of them himself admits that he has been de- tective only year. The other is a mes senger in Mayor caldwells office. There is Sheriff Hummer, an honest man and good man to collect taxes, but his mind Is such that he Is always a partisan in whatever undertaking he engages.
 "Scott Jackson, tell you, already stood convicted in the minds of these off cials at Green Castle before they had seen him."

Paris, May 12.-The Figaro, comment ing upon the attitude of the United States in relation to the rebellion in Gu ba, says: 'The conduct of the United States throughout the war in Cuba de- serves to be severely condemned. Europe cannot remain indifferent to such poll- cy; for, if the Monroe doctrine allows America to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba, it also allows her to drive the Eng fish and French out of the Antilles, and perhaps that is the United States gov ehnment's a.m."
