The New York Journal says: Con- suelo, Duchess of Marlborough, appears to be in danger of grounding on a 70. cial reef, and this, too just after her radiant entrance into English society. If the latest reports which have come from England, however, are in any way true, the youthful mistress of Blenheim has adopted radically different course from that which in former years made American girls who had married into English families so popular among their husbands friends.
 Modern Society, one of the leading and most authentic of English society journals, has this to say of the present Duchess of Marlborough.
 "Instead of modelling her bearing and manner after the steady reserve and unaffected simplicity of the English lady, the duchess has been indulging in airs and extravagant assumptions oi dignity which have occasioned much regret and no little amusement among the friends of the Marlborough family On two or :hree occssions. too, she has been more than walking. :jeweler's shop than human being, and displayi of that sort cannot be otherwise thar reprehensible and in bad taste. IT time Consuelo will do better, no doubl but meanwhile she has much to learr and great deal to unlearn.

DO YOU SLEEP?

When persons loses sleep they lose their grip. Sleep, deep and peaceful. is the poor mans wealth, the rich mans solace. How few successfully attain this boon. Here in Phoenix there is at small cost a panacea for sleeplessness It is simply an even ing ride on the electric cars. There is no recreation like 1t and after a days work it is the very thing to produce restful and invigorating sleep.

TERRITORY or ARIZONA.
 EXECUTIVE OFFICE. -t
 By national authority the first Monday in September, the seventh day oi the month, is designated as . legal holiday, to be known and celebrated as Labor Day.
 This is but just and proper recognition of the great agency that has caused our country to stand first among the countries of the world. Every ship that rides upon the ses, all of the great srmsments of our Sea coast. all of the grand highways of commerce that traverse our country, all the grandeur of our cities. all of our splendid agricultural development, are monuments of labor. In no country of the world labor has been more fully recognized and honored than in ours. Among its other grand achievements it has been the mission of our country to ennoble and dignify labor, and no people of our republic more fully sym pathizs with the hopes and aspirations of the workingmen than the people of our territory. Now therefore, I, Benjamin J. Franklin, Governor of the Territory of Arlzona, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested. do hereby proclaim Monday, the seventh day of Septem Der. A. D., 1896. holiday, and do hereby recommend and request that all places of business and public offices be closed on that day, and that the people of our territory join in universal observance thereof l In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great real of this Territory to be hereunto [sKAL.1 affixed, this nineteenth day of August, A. D., 1896. Done at Phoenix. the Capitol, this nineteenth day of August, A. D., 1896.

ulent. and the recovery is slower. The
Middle West is the field where the Bry-
antics will fight longest and most des-
perately. They will not give them up
for in doing that they give up the hght.
BRYAN. himself, is fighting with desper-
alton. but his contest is so unskilfully
managed that it does his cause more
harm than good. Nothing could so
much have strengthened his opponents
as the words of unwisdom he has ut
tered on his eastern tour. Every effort
he has made to obtain success has but
led him further and further away
from it.
The final result is as plain as any
thing i'm the future can be- The VIC
tory for Mckinley will be thorough and
far-reaching. 1t viii settle once and
for ever the question of the free coin-
AGE of silver and place our currency on
broad and solid foundation that viii
bring stability to business and genuine
prosperity to the country.

Bryan Will Lose His State.

Representative Hainer. of Nebraska, was
at Republican headquarters last week.
81 don't want to make any clustering
statements" said Mr.. Hainer, 'but

that Mckinley will get the electoral vote
of my State. There has been decide d
reaction. At first State pride entered
very largely into the problem, but the
Nebraska people are not repudiators and
can always be relied upon for their loyal
ty to the welfare of the country. We
shall not have a walk over, for Nebraska
has become something of political bat
tlefield in this campaign; every store
window in the cities has lithograph Ell

of every six business men, even in Lin
coin. are for sound money.
''The farming classes are all right, de-
spite the fact that they have suffered un-
der great prostration of business and
three successive crop failures. Under
such provocation not many States would
| be true to the conservative lines.
1--WE have rot forgotten how one crop
| failure caused famine in Russia in 1891,
and how the people of Nebraska got to-
gether and fitted out a shipload ofprovis.

agricultural country; nor has it been for

Vice President Injured.

BURLINGTON. Ia. oct. IA very ex-
citing incident marked the demonstra-
tion here to-day, held in commemoration
of the semi-centennial of Iowa's State
hood. in which Vice President Stevenson
and others made narrow escapes from
death, and several prominent persons
were seriously hurt.
After the parade had covered about
half of the line of march, Governor
Francis Drake and staff, Vice President
Stevenson and AL of the State and local
officers were conducted to a reviewing
stand. Scarcely were they seated when
the stand gave way with crash, and
the entire structure went to the ground,
mass of broken timbers. Women
tainted. and great confusion at once
reigned.
Governor Drake and Vice President
Stevenson were on the front tier of seats
and were thrown backward upon the
Others. and thus escaped fatal injury, bat
they were. nevertheless. badly shaken up
and considerably bruised.

the old dollar, nor the dollar of our faith
ers; for their dollar WAS based upon the
then existing commercial ratio between

"But, in fact, there is no reason TO be-
lieve that silver would appreciate, as the
result of free coinage, TO parity with
gold at the present ratio. All that is guess
work-a guess not so much in the direc-
tion of the desires of the silver people,
but to allay the fears of those who dread
silver recommendation while still desiring
as large use of silver as is consistent
with the parity of our gold and silver dol
lars. Two of the leading silver Senators
when the Sherman bill was pending were,
l know, much more positive than Mr..
Bryan is now, that the purchase by the
government of 100000 ounces of fine
silver per month would take up the silver
surplus that they said was weighing down

Killing Diseased Cattle.

The law under which cattle having a
contagious disease are condemned, killed
aud paid for has been upon the statute
books of the State for quite a number OF
years. and appropriated only sl.090 per
year for the purpose. of recent years the
amount stated proved 10 be too small, SO
the last legislature removed the limit of
81, 900 and now all cattle, and horses and
mules as well, coming under the head OF
dangerous, contagious, or infectious dis
cases." no matter if they aggregate an
expense of $4,000 per year, are paid for.
This law is in force since June ], 1895. II
might be added that under the old law
the State paid $50 for a COW, nc difference
whether a common or registered animal.
Under the late law the highest price the
State will allow for a common COW is s25
and for q registered one not over $50.
For horse or mule the sum allowed is
not over so, and for a standardized, reg
istered or imported horse the State does
not allow over 80 per cent. of the apprais-
ed value Of any such animal.

The Tyranny Of the Desk.

We will suppose that your occupation
is sedentary-that you are chained, so &c
speak TO the desk in some counting house
or perhaps to the loom in some vast mill
where you are compelled to labor from
morning till night. Sunday is your only
day of relaxation. You return home
every evening wearied mentally and bod
lily. Your health and strength begin to
fail. What will most effectually recu-
perate your vital energy? The weight ol
evidence points to no other conclusion
than that Hcstetter's Stomach Bitters is
your safest, most reliable sheet anchor
Use il persistently, and your system will
soon regain its pristine vigor. Every
function will receive healthful impulse
There is no remedy to equal the Bitters
for nervousness and want of sleep, dys-
pepsia, constipation and biliousness. 1t
averts and remedies all forms of malarial
disease, and is preventive of rheuma-
tism and neuralgia.

A Destrustive Storm.

A storm that originated in the West
Indies swept over the Atlantic coast Tues
day night and Wednesday morning, de-
veloping such an intensity that many
millions worth of property were destroy
ed and number of lives were lost. AT
Savannah the loss will aggregate $1,000
900 and nine people were killed by the
wreckage of the storm. Alexandria, Va,
felt the full force of the gale, and four IA
talities are reported from that place.
Washington was struck by the wind,
buildings were unroofed and trees by the
thousand blown down. The White House
yard was converted into devastated for
est, and "Wednesday workmen were en-
gagged in saving wood from the uprooted
trees Every street in the capital was
lined with branches and twigs of trees
which have been almost totally ruined
Baltimore did not feel the full force ol
the storm, for beside the cutting off ol
telephone and telegraphic commnpica.
tions and delaying of the railroad traffic
but little serious damage was done.

A Load Sound Money Shout.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 2.-October will
be celebrated by sound money men of
both political parties by the greatest
demonstration ever seen in the West.
About 10000 men will be i'm line.
AT a meeting of the managers of the
electrical division of the parade it was
decided to arrange a special circuit along
the line ofmarch. which will be connected
with long distance telephones, for the
purpose of allowing the voices of Illinois
sound money men and all the enthusias-
tic acclaim incidental TO a big parade to
speed over the wires to the various cities
in the East and middle West.
The plan is TO place transmitters at the
best vantage points. Audiphones at the
other end of the line in some localities
will be erected, so that multitudes in
other cities who assemble to hear the
novelty can distinctly hear the shouts.
Men will be placed at each transmitter
in the city to announce each organization
and number of divisions as the parade
passes. Major Mckinley will lister, TO this
music of the masses at his Canton home.
Mr.. Hobart will also have his ear 10 the
phone. Cincinnati. Philadelphia, Mil
wankee. Detroit, Cleveland. Buffalo and
Boston will be or the circuit.

Famine After The Cyclone.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 3.-Now the
horrors of famine are added To the hor'
rors of the cyclones devastation. Thou
sands of people in Alachua, Lafayette
and Levy Counties are starving, and a
special session OF the Legislature may be
called to relieve the distress. Hundreds
of farmers have lost everything; their
winters food is wholly gone.
The roads are impossible for wagons,
and food will be carried down the Suwa
nee River. The loss to phosphate plants
is estimated at $1,000. aud the cedar for
ests of Lafayette Coanty are destroyed.
The turpentine men are ruined, and
$3.50 men employed at the stills are out o.
employment. Charitable contributions
from other States will certainly be needed

Miserable Yet Heroic End of Hermits
Life

CLEVELAND, o, Oct. i.-The little town
of Hinckley, q miles from this city, in
Medina county, was the scene of grue-
some death Saturday. Nearly 20 years
ago there appeared in Hinckley a strang
er, of whom nothing was known beyond
the name which he gave, Bernard Sher-
man, and with him came big st. Ber-
nard dog. which was his inseparable conf
panion. The stranger took up his abode
in an old hovel which he rented in the
lonesome outskirts of the hamlet. The
living place of the old man gradually be-
| came surrounded with an air of mystery,
and the place came TO be regarded with
| dweller rarely visited the village and
then only for the necessaries OF life which
he seemed to have plenty of money to
pay for.
The old man had not been seen for a
| long time, and an investigation was be-
| gun. When the door to the hut was
| broken in the old man was found lying
| dead, chained 10 a post, the condition of
the body telling of terrible struggle,
which the doctors have ascribed To hy-
drophobia. just outside the hovel was
found the dog. The beasts death had
been caused by an ak wound in the head.
The supposition is the brute went mad /,
and bit his master. The old man reali-
zing that death was Inevitable, lock-
ed himself in when he felt the madness
coming on, chained himself fast, locked
his fetters with "a paddock and threw the
key away.
Buried under the floor of the hovel was
found $4,000 in gold. There was nothing
that could shed light on the mystery of his
life. In one pocket was found an ocean
steamer check from Liverpool dated No
vember s. 1874. and on the wall hung an
oil miniature of "A lovely woman and a
child. The body was given a decent
burial.

self, has had an opportunity to learn a
great deal, and il is to be hoped he has
profited by il. Mr.. Mckinney has given
evidence that he Is learning many
things, and his daily utterances show
that he i keeping abreast of events and
has a mind capable of mastering the
problems that are confronting this and
other nations. But the greatest work
o. this campaign has been the educa-

nation, on the various questions that

Never since 1860 has there been so
much done in the way of giving inform

EDITOR HERALD:-
In recent article headed Coffee
Spring" you say Inquiry among our
Older citizens failed to elicit any informa-
ton As To how this spring acquired its
name"
have it from my grandmother Win
tiers. with whom lived when she kept
tOll-gate east of Somerset. Henry Schnei-
der, son of Adam, married lady in
Maryland, near Boonesborough. Some
OF his neighbors moved west and neces-
sarily had to pass through Somerset.
He requested them to stop with his faith
er. There were four wagons in the train,
some from Funkstown and some from
Clearspring; the family from the latter
place were schoolmates of my father.
We lived at the Fox place and they con-
cluded to tarry a few days with us and
camped at the Coffee Spring. One of
the women prepared to brown some
coffee while in camp and when passing
from the wagon to the fire by the spring
she tripped and landed the skillet and
coffee in the water, and for long time
thereafter the green coffee bubbled up
with the sand. From that time forward
the place has been known as Coffee
Spring. The lady's name was New
conner. Yours truly,
