Attention Voters !

Under the auspices of the Rising
Sun free silver Bryan and Sewall
club Hon. Mortimer Whitehead
will speak on Saturday Go-morrow)
afternoon and evening at Rising
Sun, at 9 and 1880 p. m. This rare
opportunity to hear one of the
finest speakers in the country on
the vital questions of this remark
able campaign should not be missed
by any one who can possibly attend.
The ladies, too, are welcome to our
meetings as the flowers of May
which they so much resemble.
This is a splendid opportunity to
hear the questions on which the
mass of the people are seeking in
formation, handled in a mastery
way. The speeches by the silver
orators are texts full of the most
important and valuable information,
while the efforts of the goldite
orators resemble fog banks, filled
with deception, misrepresentation,
false statements of facts and illogical
arguments. Turn out, voters, and
nonvoters of every shade of political
belief, party and creed to hear one
of the most entertaining and in
structive orators of the campaign.
Mckinley and Hanna are padding

unanimous.

and three other Perryville twirlers
received similar treatment before
the game was finished.
Riale pitched superb game for
his team, striking out eight of the
opposing batters, three of them in
the last inning, and was hit safely
but five times. Behind the bat and
in the field he received excellent
support, the Sun boys playing
sharply throughout. Following is

The cause of silver is moving
with the resistless force of a spring
tide. A great silver, Bryan meet
ing was held at Armstrong; grove
near Kemblesville on Tuesday.
The meeting was organized at 1880
a. m. by electing Mr.. Johnson chair
man who in acknowledging the
honor made an earnest and telling
address, which showed the spirit
which is impelling the cause. 1t
was his first stump speech he told
the meeting and the ferved language
of the speaker showed the power
which is carrying all before it,
sweeping all opposition in it's path
like a swollen torrent. Mr.. White
of New Jersey, Mr.. Fulton and
other speakers delivered ringing
addresses in the forenoon. Hon.
Mortimer Whitehead was reserved
for the afternoon and when he
arose to speak, in the neighbor-
hood of four thousand persons had
gathered in the grove. Mr.. White
head held the applauding audience
for two hours under the spell of
his matchless eloquence, now and
then convulsing them with laughter
by his keen wit, humorous illustra-
lions and apt comparisons. Shouts
of applause showed the hearty
sympathy of the large audience
with the speaker when he portrayed
the wrongs the people have suf-
fered and are now suffering under
goldbug republican administration
for thirty years, for Cleveland
policy has been but continuation
of republican misrule, encouraged
by a republican congress.
G. G. Crothers arrived on the
ground in the afternoon and closed
the afternoon speaking by a short,
crisp speech which was warmly
applauded.
The meeting was a grand rally
and grand success for the cause
of free silver and reform from the
heavy abuses under which the
people are suffering. The most en-
couraging feature of the affair was
that the audience was composed of
former republicans by very large
majority. McKinleyism and gold
bugism are receding like an ebb
tide, while Bryan and free silver
resembles the flood tide. The
people are full of enthusiasm for
the cause of the people who are
determined to have their inning.

A Dream and Remarkable Coincident.

The story of the killing of a dog
belonging to Mr.. W. j. McDougal
published in last weeks MIDLAND
JOURNAL, supposed to have been
bitten by dog that was probably
mad, was the sequel to a dream.
The night before Mr.. McDougal's
son hitched their horse to a buggy
and drove over to Woodlawn camp.
Mr.. McDougal met the boy Gin
dreamy at "Barns' Corner" return
ing home. The horse had COM
menced backing and could not be
controlled till the buggy was over
turned and harness broken. Mr..
McDougal took the harness back to
G. s. Abrahams store at Woodlawn
(where there is no harness maker
or member at alD got them repaired
and returned. The mare was
standing in the field and Mr.. Nc
Dougal started toward her, when
the boy warned him to take care as
she was mad and would injure him,
but knowing the animal to be per-
fectly gentle, he went up to it when
the horse commenced to kick at
and try to bite him. Then it sud-
denly turned into mad dog. At
this stage of the dream the excite
ment became so intense that he
awoke.
The night following this strange
dream, remarkable for its con-
nected continuity and completeness
of action-Mr. M. had occasion to
step outside of the door and saw
his dog lying on the porch. He
noticed the animal by giving it a
pat and went back into the room.
Not more than two minutes had
elapsed after entering the room till
the dog uttered cry of pain. Mr..
M. went out and looked about but
discovered no strange dog. A
moment later he heard another dog
yelp up the street as if suffering
from a sudden and acute pain. In
the mean time his own dog con-
tinued to whine as CANNES are wont
to complain on such conditions. He
Investigated and found his dog had
fresh wound in one of his feet
which was bleeding. This brought
to his recollection the remarkable
dream. Safety seemed to lie on the
side of superstition in this instance
and Mr.. McDougal had the dog,
though a family pet, killed the next
day. This is the story of the dream
that resulted in poor Trays death.

FAfEK FIRE IN SOUTH RUSSIA.
Flames Break Out in Theater While
a Performance Was in Progress.
Forty-Nine Bodies Already Taken
From the Ruins, and a Number
of Persons Missing.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 20.-A dis
patch from Ekatorinoslav, capital of
the Government of that name in South
Russia, gives the details of a fire that
occurred in a theater, causing large
less of life.
The fire was discovered while a per-
formance was going on. The spectators
became panic-stricken and made a wild
rush for the exits. Many of them were
knocked down, trampled under foot
and rendered unconscious.
The building was of wod and the fire
spread with great rapidity. Before all
the terror-stricken people could get
outside the theater was a mass Of
flames.
The scene outside was terrible Those
who had relatives and friends in the
theater rushed about crying wildly for
help to save them Every effort was
made to save those in the burning
building, but the heat was so intense
for some time it was impossible to ap-
preach the structure. Even had it been
possible to reach them the efforts to
save those inside would have probably
been fruitiess, as they were probably
suffocated before the fire reached them.
Forty-nine bodies have already been
taken out. A number of persons who
were known to have been in the thea
ter are still missing, and there are
scarcely any doubts that their bodies
will be found later in the ruins

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Important Opinion Rendered by a
United States District Judge.

United States District Judge.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20-In the United
States District Court to-day Judge
Grosscup handed down an opinion on
a motion to quash the indictments
against the Santa Fe for alleged vio-
lations of the Interstate Commerce
Act.
The indictments were upheld in part
and quashed in part. John A. Henley,
ex- General Traffic Manager of the
Santa Fe, and ex-President Reinhart
were adjudged to have been properly
indicted on two counts. Those two
counts set forth that from April to No
vembre, 1892, the two officials violated
the Act by giving rebates and draw
backs.
The indictment as to Nelson Norris
was quashed on the ground that the
rate was a discrimination against
shippers by the railroad, and that Nor
ris' acceptance of the rate in nowise
made him guilty of discrimination. The
indictments against Isaac Thompson,
a Kansas City shipper, and Manager
jenkins of the Hammond Packing Com
pany were also quashed.
These decisions are in effect that the
shipper could not be held for violation
of the law in accepting a rebate, and
they constitute the first legal inter-
pretation of that part of the Interstate
Commerce law making shippers equal
~ liable with carriers for violation of
the law in discriminating.
Henley and Reinhart will not sub
nit without stubborn fight, and will
probably appeal to a higher court.
