Mr.. w. B. Thompson, treasurer of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, has just returned from Michi-
gan. He says he hasn't the slightest
doubt that Mckinley will carry that
state and that the Congressional dis
tricts are all right, the gold Democrats
alone having strength in several of
them to swing the balance Of power
to the side of honest money. He says
that practically the entire business
interests of the state are taking an
active part in lighting the free coinage
of silver.
Betting men have Increased the
odds on Mckinley in order to coax the
Popocrats to put up a little money,
but they have not succeeded. In one
place, much frequented by bypoliticians
$4,000 has been posted for several
DAYS with instructions to bet it 3 to l
on McKinley's election. But up to
this morning none of it had been Gov
cred.
Several prominent silver men have
privately admitted that Maryland was
certain to go for Mckinley, nOtwith-
standing Senator Gorman's claim to
the contrary. Maryland Republicans
have never admitted that there was a
doubt of their carrying the state this
year.
John r. Mclean who owns the Gin
cinnati Enquirer and a controlling
interest in the Washington Gaslight
Company, has been doing he"anger'

ington indicates that he intends to

TO the Editor ofThe Republican.
The leaders of the National W. G.

Then let us pray on that day as never

purity and peace.
The cooperation of our pastors is
earnestly invited. BY presenting
some temperance theme in their reg

prayer, they will greatly assist us
and we shall be thankful.

TELLER ENDORSES BRYAN Advises Him Motto Make

 of the Committee.

 Permit Him.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 20.-That w. J. Bryan will receive the support of Henry M, Teller of Colorado there is no longer any doubt. Bryan yester- day received a letter from Senator Tel Ter in which he told him he would sup port him in the race for president.
 The letter runs as follows:
 "DENVER, Colo, July 1S-Hon. w.. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Nebraska, Dear Sir: I congratulate you on your nomination at Chicago I think the country is to be congratulated also.
 q need not assure you that your nomination was more than satisfactory to me. I think we shall be able to consolidate the friends of silver in your support, and if we do this l believe you will be elected, although I do not overlook the tremendous power that will be put against us in this cam paign., All the power of money and organized wealth, corporations and monopolies of all kinds will be against US. Justice is on our side and this is the cause of the people.
 ''It is a contest for industrial inde- pendence and for freedom from the domination of foreign powers and cap italists, and 1t does not seem possible in such contest before the American people that justice should fail and wrong prevail. I do not believe We shall. I think I can promise you the cordial support of the western silver men who have heretofore acted with the Republican party, and if you get that I think all the western coast and inter-mountain states will be with you. I will not offer any suggestion to you, save advise that you make no pledges or promises, so you may go into the great office of president of the United States without the embarrassment that follows pledges and promises, even if such as may be properly carried out.
 ''Tt will afford me pleasure to place myself at the disposal of the National committee to make speeches in your behalf as my health will permit, where and when they may think I will do good. I am very respectfully,

 Mercy knows, we need it bad enough! But why have they waited so long, and why is all this hubbub all of a sudden?
 The explanation comes from the Schilling advertisements themselves To succeed in this big undertaking the support of the Japanese government and chief tea growers was necessary and they did not realize the situation until their successful exhibit at the worlds fair.

have seen on one of the most travelled roads the water run for half mile in the wheel and horse tracks. when per haps the taking out of a stump or one blast of rock would remove all ob- structions and allow good gutters. !" Water must be kept out of the road at all hazards and this must first, last and always be by the conduits at each side.
 9. Water never runs up hill. Often the gutters are sufficiently good in every respect except that the slope is in the wrong direction. The eye is not always true evidence of slope of ground, as the topography of the land may be such that the fall is more ap- parent than real. Apply the test of the simple level.
 3. A safe rule is to place bridges or culverts wherever there is depres- sion in the road; and unless the water may be conveyed to fields on each side, culvert must be made in the lowest spot, carrying the water across the road.
 1. Whenever mud hole is formed in an earth road, it should never be filled with lot of stones. as this is al most certain to make two mud holes instead of one. First remove the mud and water from the puddle, and then take earth as nearly of the same nature as the roadbed as possible and pound this into the hole firmly, so that wheels may pass over it at once without sink ing into it. It should be filled some what higher than surrounding portions to allow for settling.
 5. Give the road bed the proper slope. Never allow it to be too flat, or lower in the middle than at the sides. A sec ton of road should, if cut transversely, present an arc in shape, sloping from the center to each side. This, of course, is to prevent water from standing on the surface.
 6. Do not make roads too wide or too narrow. If too wide they become very expensive to keep in repair, and if too narrow the gutters become ob- structed from wagons running into them. In general these rules apply with equal force to earth or rock roads, as, if a rock road is to be made, these princi- ples must first be carried out. The idea may appear absurdly simple, but there are thousands of instances in which they are utterly disregarded in road building and repairs. and hence are the more necessary. .-American Agricul- turiSt,

color is dark blue. In cold weather it changes to purple. The approach of rain is heralded by pink, and snow causes the necktie to become startling green.
 The invention marks a new era in fashions. Shirts, trousers, gowns and other articles of dress can be made of the material. The invention is yet in its infancy. When it has been developed to greater extent the woman of fash ion can array herself in blue gown in the morning. By noon it will turn to a mauve. The afternoon will find it pink, and the evening some other color.
 As labor-saving institution the new cloth is exceedingly valuable. Ther- mometers and barometers will go out of fashion. The ''city man" as he puts on his shirt in the morning has but to glance at the color. If it is purple, he wears his heaviest overcoat. If it is pink, he takes his umbrella under his arm. When sails are made of chameleon cloth the yachtman has but to glance at his mainsail to know what kind of weather is coming.

MT. D. o. Nourse Tells How They Might
 Be Improved.
 MT. D. o. Nourse, the agriculturist and farm superintendent of Virginia experiment station, has just published a bulletinrelating to the roads of that state-''if,' , as he says, "the tracks over which we are obliged to travel may be dignifed by the name of roads"-in which he makes a strong plea for plac- ing the building and repair of earth roads in the hands of persons who understand how to do such work in ac- cordance with correct principles What is wanted is an engineer or overseer for each county, to be paid regular salary, who would, if 8 man of honor, be jealous of his reputation, and good roads would be the result. Such an officer could, in few years, by keeping sufficient number of teams and en- ploying men used to the work who would be becoming better worlmen year by year, build up department that would be credit to the commun- ity. It is no wonder that roads are poor when contracts are let to persons who hardly know good road from a bad one-for it is just as necessary to know how to build highway as it is to build a railroad. A few fundamental principles in the building and mainten- ance of earth roads are given.

The late Lord Orford was one of the most aristocratic ornaments of the British peerage and the following ac- count of his separation from Lady Or ford, as told by Truth, is accordingly interesting: "Both explained to me the reason. It was all about a sugar basin. Shortly after their marriage, according to Lord Orford, her ladyship came down to breakfast without hav- ing washed her hands and took some Jumps of sugar out of the bowl with her fingers, on which he requested her in future either to wash her hands or to use the sugar-tongs. According to Lady Orford his lordship objected to her talk ing so many Jumps of sugar for her tea"

INDIAN STOiClSM.,

 His Execution.
 The stoicism of the North American Indian is proverbial. In the long ago when one tribe warred against another, Indian prisoners were accustomed to stand torture without finching The race may have degenerated, but its re- markable characteristic is still con- spicuous. A story told by a western citizen to 0 Washington Star reporter furnishes a good illustration of the in- difference with which even the Indian of to-day views death: "In the Choc- Jaw Indian nation there is no jail in which convicted murderers are con- fined," said he. When I first went to the Indian territory I settled in the Choctaw nation, and hearing that cer- tain Indian was an excellent hand on the ranch, hunted him up and asked him if he would work for me. I will work until the goth of next month,' he said. Why not longer?' I inquired. I am to be hanged the 21st,' was his re- ply, in an unconcerned way. I hired him, and upon inquiry learned that what he said was true. But one man has ever failed to return for hanging after he has been sentenced, and my Indian did not prove an exception to the rule. On the day before the execu- tlon was to take place he left as calmly as though going on visit, and the hang ing took place at the time appointed. Notwithstanding his isapproaching doom the Indian made one of the best ranch CTS l ever saw, and regretted to lose him."

ABOUT BITTER MILK.

Usually Caused by III-Healrh and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.
 Several readers have written com plaining that the milk of their cows is bitter after standing a few hours or a single day and that the feed used is of the best, clean and wholesome. Some of the cows have been in but a few months others will be fresh within three months.
 Cows that have been in but few months, are properly fed, have pure water, free access to all the salt they wish and give milk that is bitter with out being tainted by contact with out side surroundings, may be in ill-health which affects the condition of the blood.
 The best remedy for this trouble if produced by the blood being out of con- dition is to give a pound of sulphate of soda (glauber salts) or of sulphate of magnesia (epsom salts), dissolved in warm water, by means of common drenching horn or long-necked bottle; and after this has operated, daily dose of one ounce of hyposulphite of soda may be given with good results, for two weeks.
 This latter is readily taken, by most cows, when powdered and sprinkled over a mess of scalded bran or in other 1eed.-Western Rural :.-s:ses- '-:sss:
