A GOLD MANS ESTIMATE.
At This Time Bryan Would Garry New
York by 10000

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Col. JohI
Byrne, the chairman of the New Yorl
Sound Money League, the institution
under the auspices of which Bourke
Cochran delivered his Madison Square
Garden speech, returned to New
York City yesterday from tour Of
the State. He set the Republicans
and gold bug Democrats in furry by
declaring that if the election came Of
now Bryan would carry New York BY
100, 900 majority. Testimony OF this
kind from an ardent Mckinley man
and bitter opponent of Bryan may
be worth considering. MIR. Byrne said
that nearly all the farmers of North
ern and Central New York, irrespect-
i've of past party Affiliations, were GO
ing to vote for Bryan.
There is no serious danger OF any
Southern State. The South will re-
main solid, according to all reports,
including Kentucky, North Carolina
and Maryland.
The Democratic managers here still
are of the opinion that the Mckinley
Aid Society at indianapolis will BEN
eft Bryan more than Mckinley. They
claim that all who would support the
third ticket would vote for Mckinley
anyhow, and that it was SO many votes
dIyerted from him.

CORN TRAIN FOR MEXICO.
One of Eleven Cars Started From
Harper County, Kansas.

Topeka, KAN, Sept. 4.-The corr
famine. in Old Mexico is opening uI
quite an extensive market for Kansas
coru. Yesterday a corn train of II
cars was sent down there from Harper
county, and others will follow in few
Gays. A railroad official who went to
Hutchinson yesterday to see the train
start predicts that this is the begin
nlng of a new market for Kansas, az
the corn crops west and south this
year have been very heavy. Kansas,
he says, is the nearest State where the
Mexicans can find corn of a superior
quality. The existing freight rates
from Kansas to Mexico are such as
will encourage heavy shipments.
In order to advertise Kansas and to
build up more extensive trade with
Mexico, yesterdays corn train was
decorated with banners and placards
announcing to the world that Kansas,
with her big crop, is the place to buy
corn to supply all who are in need.
The train will be taken through Dem
yer and all principal cities of the
West.

A WOMAN IN BLACK.
Mysterious Incident at Nat Dryden's
Funeral-Who Was the Mourner?
From the Hannibal Journal.

Referring to the funeral of the late
Nat @. Dryden, of st. Louis, the
Chronicle, published in that city, says:
Who was the silent woman in black
at Nat @. Dryden's funeral?
She attracted little attention, and
her identity is mystery.
One attendant marked her presence
by coincidence.
Wednesday night, while talking to
an acquaintance at Twenty eight and
Olive, he noticed a slender woman,
dressed in black and closely yelled
walking up and down the street, past
DR.. Bauduy's residence.
Once she started to enter the house,
but changed her mind and boarded an
east bound Olive street car.
The day of the funeral this man was
in the crowded parlor.
The woman in black entered. Her
veil was closely drawn. Approaching
the coffin she gazed intently upon the
face of the dead. Her frame trembIed
with emotion.
Her watcher thought first of Dry
denis daughters, then of Fannie Wood,
the girl through whose indiscretion
Nat Dryden's secret marriage was ex-
posed.
The woman left the room and the
watcher followed. She walked to
Twenty eighth, turned the corner,
jumped into waiting carriage and
was quickly driven away.

LANSING, Mich, August 10, 1885,
Dear Sir: We have seen a notice in
the Chicago Herald of August nth
about a man and boy who were
killed one and half miles west of
your city by the Chicago & Alton cars,
and that the remains were found by
the section boss as he went over his
beat and that the remains were very
much mangled, but the man would in
dicate about 40 years old and was
clean shaven, and the boy about II
and red hair one and one-half inches
long. It is the boy we are after for
some further identity. Our boy,
named Paul Nelson, left home over
4 months ago and we have heard moth
ing of him. He was 15 years old,
light sandy hair and freckled face.
The last We heard from him he wore a
gray suit of clothes and straw hat.
He would weight about 100 pounds.
We would like to have you trace this
matter up and send US portion of the
boys hair or something, and If buried
find out where and secure portion of
hair. think we could identify him.
Also give us detailed account of the
accident and we viii gladly defray all
expenses the same may incur. Hop

From the St. Louis Republic, August a.

From the st. Louis Republic, August 81.
Manager Garen of Havlin's Theater
is gold bug. He decided some time
ago that gold was "the thing" and
since that time has been willing to
argue on the financial question just a
wee bit. He rather likes a little tilt
about money matters. Occasionally
he argues publicly on the money ques-
ton. Usually his audience is COM
posed of several polite young men,
who, with an eye to passes anon, COIN
eide with Mr.. Garen's views on
money. Mr.. Garen has been agreed
with SO often lately that he has come
to believe he is on a slive one.n
Therefore he decided to clinch mat
ters by holding balloting contest at
his theater in which the names of the
two Presidential candidates would be
placed before the patrons of Havlin's
for consideration.
With rather a wry face Mr.. Garen
handed the following into the Republic
Office last night, and before it's con-
tents could be digested, took hasty
departure:

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: ''For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
mouths constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to q re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now 1t is entirely gone, though Tam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years Of misery
and saved over $ISo."
This experience Is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. Is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces 1t out p<rma-
nently.
