GEN. CAMPBELL.
He Addresses . Large Aadience Oh I
Political Issues Of the Day.

he Addresses . Large Audience Oh the
Political Issues Of the Day.
Last Friday evening, under the aus
pices of the Elk Point Mckinley club,
in front Of the court house, In the open
air, the republican campaign in Union
county was formally opened by an ad-
dress upon the political issues Of the
day by Gen. Hugh j. Campbell Of
Yankton. f. c. Ericsson, president Of
the Mckinley club, acted as chairman
of the day. The local hand discOursed
music, while the Mckinley Glee Club
rendered some very entertaining Sc
lections. One of the songs was written
by Comrade Kent, and proved to be q
captivating one 50 far as the audience
was concerned, which loudly cheered
the happy hits in the words of the
song
Gen. Campbell began his address by
referring to the honor placed upon I'm
ion county by the republicans Of the
state in selecting as their standard
bearer, the Hon. A. .. Ringsrud, can
didate for governor. He followed this
up with the discussion Of the leading
political issues Of the day, placing most
of his time in dealing with the silver
question. He pointed out the fact that
silver was practically demonetized in
1883, instead OF 1873, when the ratio
vas changed from Is to l to Is to l.
the act driving out the silver in circu-
lation. He followed this with figures
showing the remarkable increase in
the production of silver in the world
year by year. He used McCleary's ia
bles-which have never been disputed
by anyone with regard to their correct
ness

Bland law. I Sherman law.

From this table it will he seen that
the memorable law Of supply and de-
mand determined the price Of silver just
the same MS Of any other commodity.
The porld ut large used more silver
from 1873 to 1894, by n large per cent,
than it did for any previous years, yet
the price fell-kept on falling-due to
the fact that production increased faster
than the demand. In tw~enty-One
years the product had increased al
most 800 per cent. Gen. Campbell
pointed out the evil effects of the
change OF ratio, and the audience was
entertained with the presentation of
facts.

Two Laymen Have Been Popes.

It may be well to remark that the
canon law does not prescribe that the
pope must be a cardinal, or even cleric.
Nevertheless since the election of Urban
VI in 1878 the successful candidates
have belonged to the members Of the
Sacred college, although as late as 1853
a noncardinal was voted for several
times. At least two laymen-John XIX
GO24) and Adrian V (1276)-have &C.
cupied the papal throne, and there is to-
day nothing to prevent laymen from be-
ing created cardinals, although they are
not entitled to vote in the conclave un-
less they can produce special permit
from the la1e pope. Up to the meeting
Of the conclave of 1928 Cardinal Albani
had never taken orders, and there is
still some doubt as to whether he did SO
then.-William R. Thayer in Century.

AN INDIGNANT FISH,.
One Burgall Deprived of Its Prey by thu
Reckless Interference of Another.

One Burgall Deprived of Its Prey by the
Reckless Interference of Another.
While the burgall, known also as the
Gunner, is not altogether bottom feed
ing fish, still it feeds mostly on the bot
tom, taking whatever it can find there,
nipping the head off a clam when it
gets chance, and not neglecting the
worms Of many kinds which find
home there.
There were two burgalls in tank at
the aquarium. One day nereis showed
it's head above the sand and gravel on
the bottom Of the tank alongside little
pebble. The nereis is a marine worm
that lives at the bottom. This particu-
lar nereis might have been three inches
in length by an eighth Of an inch in di-
a1neter. One Of the burgalls saw it as
soon as it lifted its head above the bot
tom, and he began to make for it at
once, but not precipitately. In fact, he
did not seem to notice the nereis at all.
He just loafed about in the water, and
it just happened apparently that his
general movement carried him in that
direction.
The nereis was probably looking for
food. Gradually it raised it's head until
it was half an inch above the sand. The
burgall, which had started a foot Or
more away, was then within six inches
Of it. Then the other burgall saw the
nereis, and this burgall made rush for
it. There was nothing for the first one
to do now but to make rush for it too
The two burgalls met head on with
their noses right over the pebble along
side which the nereis had raised it's
head, but the nereis had disappeared.
The force of the collision threw the
first burgall off his balance For a mo-
ment he lay in the water at an angle Of
45 degrees, but he righted himself
quickly and instantly started for bur-
gall No. 2, and chased him round and
round the tank and finally up into
corner, where he held him for minute,
and then he swan solemnly away, in
dignant no doubt that the reckless i'll
reference of the other had cost him the
prey he had so carefully planned to
take.-New York Sun.

a BRokEN FRIENDSHIP.
i Was Terminated BY : Bullet IN

i Was Terminated BY : Bullet In .
Frontier Town.
Twas in the early days Of town in
southwestern Kansas The deadly 's45''
was the most respected law Of the place,
and daily and nightly, in the half dozen
saloons which the embryo city supported,
were congregated as rough q set Of men
as could be found in any town Of the
size west Of the Mississippi, spending
their time in gambling and carousing.
Monarch Of all the roughs was Ed
Prather. He had eight notches in the
handle Of his tnsty As, signiffying that
by his hand eight human beings had
been sent to their long home. Prather's
bosom friend was Billy Wells. He, too.
was ''bad man. in the western accept
ance of the term. Damon and Pythias
were not more fraternal than these two
desperadoes. When one was seen, the
other was always near. If one got into
trouble, the other was always on hand
to assist him.
The tragic end of this friendship came
one summer morning. Prather had just
successfully 'stood off, sheriff and
his posse, and the crowd Of roughs was
congregated in his saloon, congratulate
ing him, drinking to his health and
celebrating the occasion by filling them
selves up with what is known in west
ern vernacular as $40 rod," preparatory
to terrorizing the town. Suddenly
Prather drew his revolver from the scab-
bard, and saying, 'Boys, watch me put
hole through Billy's hat,' fired.
There was yell Of agony, and Wells
fell to the floor wounded to the DEATH
my God, have killed him?" We're
Prather's first words. Then, throwing
down his revolver, he sprang to the side
Of the wounded man, just as the last
culver came over the PROSTATE form and
the soul went to render its account
For the first time in years solitary
tear coursed down over the hardened
features of the man whose hands were
newly stained with the blood Of fell
low creature, but, ashamed of this mo-
mentary evidence of emotion, he hastily
brushed away the tear, and turning to
the bar called, Drinks for the crowd.
And the carousal went on.
Thus was one more chapter added to
the history of frontier life.-Detroit

End of Most Exciting Campaign at
Hand-Result in Doubt.
PORTLAND, Or, June 2.-The Oregon
state election which is being now held
will have significance and interest as
being the ''first gum of the presiden-
tial campaign. It will, however, be
impossible for politicians in other states
to get much satisfaction from the re-
suit, because of the demoralized condi-
ton of the three parties. Ever since
the fighting and shooting at the April
primaries in this city, this campaign has
been intensely exciting and never before
was there all election which caused
more anxiety than the one which is
taking place. Two congressman are to
be elected, one for each district, together
with supreme judge and city, county
and legislative officers throughout the
state. In nearly every county and city,
there are three tickets in the field-Re-
publican, Democratic and Populist,
and i'll some cases there are independent
tickets and two Republican tickets.

Fatalities BY tho Catastrophe Near MOSCOW

Moscow, June The disaster on
the Khodi jnskoje plain Saturday is con-
stantly gaining in proportion as the In
designations by the authorities continue.
It is now said that the fatalities will
amount to between 1900 and 5000, but
it is impossible yet to ascertain accur-

Cause of the Stampede.
Various versions as to the origin OF
the stampede and crush are current, but
the account to which the most credence
is attached is that the wagon laden
with the 100000 souvenirs which was to
be distributed among the people was
proceeding to the plain, followed by
multitude Of eager peasants, when the
attendants, with view of pleasing the
people, threw a number of the souvenirs
among the crowd. There was wild
scramble towards the point where they

up and down the crowd. The throng
OF expectant peasants thought that the
distribution had commenced and they
rushed headlong, pell nell, for the the
booths where the distribution of SOU
venirs was to have been made later.
The arrangements which it was intend
ed to make
To Keep the Crowds in Order
during the distribution had not been
completed at that early hour and the
force on hand was powerless to stem
the tide of the crush of humanity.
What added greatly to the gravity of
the disaster was the circumstance that
these booths were surrounded by ditch
es. The foremost persons fell PROSTATE
in these bitches and the people following
speedily trampled them to death. 9th
ers stumbled over their bodies and met
the same fate. And SO the horror grew.
The car and czarina after attending
the requiem mass in the chapel of the
Kreemlin, paid a visit to the injured
survivors in the hospitals, passing from
cot to cot, and addressing words of
sympathy and comfort.

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established a living,
paying business and made the name ''Dr. Ward's''
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits Of his lifelong, labors. However, in this
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
''just as good as DR.. Wards," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his BUSH
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1856.
