WHEAT GOES UP, SILVER DOWN.
The Grain In Greater Demand Than tho
Metal.

The Grain In Greater Demand Than tho
| Metal.
| The reason silver does not 60 up in
price with wheat at this time ia plain
enough. The people of the British
Isles do not won't silver to cat. There is
no known way by which silver can be
cooked md eaten. IL cannot be ground
into flour, nor made into bread or cake.
The entire silver product of the world
might he landed on the wharfs OF Lv-
erpool or London without adding one
cents worth to the stock of food on
which the British people must draw for
their daily sustenance for the next IL
months. 1t follows that, even though
all the wheat crops of other countries
failed in toto, leaving our American
wheat crop as the only source OF supply
the British people would not Pay one
cent per ounce more for our silver, or
for any other country's silver, on that
account. Wheat might go to famine
prices in England, and would DO so
in the case supposed, yet silver would
not go 10 famine prices, because, for
the purpose of averting famine, silver
is rs useless and valuelcss rs coal or
iron. The price of silver never has ruled,
and never can rule, the price of wheat
There is no price relation between the
two products. Silver has gone down for
the same reason that wheat has gone
down in the past 25 years. because
there has been more of it produced than
could be sold at the old price of 1871.
There is no power in the government
nor in legislation to make things that
are constantly being produced in
greater quantities and at lower cost sell
for rs high prices as when they were
pre- duced in far less abundance and at
much greater cost. If oar farmers or
our wage-earners allow themselves to
be tricked with the promise that the
government can raise the price of their

s,x Big Delegations Visit the Candidate
ON Thursday.

ON Thursday.
Canton, o., Oct. 23.-Aluj. Mckinley
made six speeches Thursday. Five of
the delegations were from Ohio band one
frcm the adjoining state OF Indiana.
Mag. Mckinley, recognizing the fact
that the arguments are all III, made his
speeches short, crisp and inspiriting.
They elected generous and at times
tumultuOus applause and his visitors
went away flushed and burning with
enthusiasm. The first delegation NUM-
beICd about 800 persons and came from
Creston, o. Maj. Mckinley spoke on
the twin issues Of protection and "souLd
money" lie followed practically the
same lines used in former speeches:
y large delegation from Medina coun-
ty, o., numbering more than 1920 per-
sons, called at 1880 p. III. Prof. NJ. L.
Warner, of Berca college, stated in h,s
remarks TO Maj. Mckinley that he was
Il lifelong democrat who felt it his pa
triotic duty TO vote the republican ticket
this year. In response Maj. Mckinley
said this was not partisan campaign:
il rises altogether above that. 1t was a
campaign, as he viewed it, for tie
United States, it's honor, its credit, ire
currency, ITS welfare; and he welcomed
the assistance which comes to the cause.

men who heretofore have not been iden-
tilted with us in party associations. He
was glad tnat in this political contest
we can submit our principles with con-
tidcnce to the educated men of tn.
United States, and he rejoiced that in
every college of the country, east and
west, where poll has been taken, 4
large majority was found in favor OF
financial integrity and the national
honor.
From GAINESVILLE, Belmont county,
and some smaller towns in the neighbor-
ing counties of Noble and Guernsey, the
next delegation came. 1t was made up
of working men, farmers and miners
end it contained nearly 1000 voters.
The candidates remarks were confined
10 the question Of "sound money" no
population, protection and the uphold
ing of the laws Of the government.
The GAINESVILLE delegation was close
ly followed by great one from Marict-
ia, o., which included some visitors
rom Morgan county. Judge Crow adj
dressed Maj. Mckinley in behalf of the
Morgan county people and j. ii. Grafton
spoke for the $500 enthusiasts from
Marietta. Joseph Arbour, young lad,
made a neat speech presenting the boys
brigade of Marietta. The Marietta dele
cation coming from the first settlement
in the whole northwest territory and
a country rich in historical associations
and suggestion, caused Maj. McKinley
10 recall some names, incidents and
events OF the past.
Not one-third Of the Marietta people
had moved away when a delegation of
700 voters from Guernsey county
marched before the stand where Mai
Mckinley had been speaking, and which
Inc had not left. w. II. McFarlane. OF

Red Turtles In a Boiling Spring.

That portion of southern or lower
California called Hell's Half Acre
appears to be situated directly over a
substratum of fire, which causes the
mud and water to boil as if i'll a cal
dron. At one place on the Half Acre
there are over 100 boiling springs and
hot mud geysers on q plat of ground
that is not of greater extent than COM
mon city square. The chief spring in
this queer aggregation of boiling and
spouting jets of mud and water is called
the Fountain of the Boiled Turtles
on account of its curious habit of occa-
sionally ejecting numbers Of small red
turtles. The temperature of this spring
is 226 degrees, IA degrees higher than
the temperature required to boil water
under ordinary atmospheric pressure.
Notwithstanding the fact that the tenn
perature is sufficient to boil meat per-
fectly within a few minutes, the small
red turtles spoken of live and breed
there just as the ordinary variety does
i'll waters of common lakes, rivers and
other streams. The spring is called the
Fountain of Boiled Turtles because
the queer, hard shelled creatures which
inhabit it have the appearance Of being
cooked perfectly done. st. Louis Re-

DID 1T HURT YOU?
a Question That Is Often Out of Place
and UNNECESSARY.

a Question That Is Often Out of Place
and Unnecessary.
The old hymn i'll Sam Taylor's ''Orig-
jnal Pocms'' beginning with "Who ran
to help me when L fell?" ought to have
a provisional clause added to it. The
person who hastens to help a sufferer
who has been shocked by fall should
not say single word. Of course the
benevolent bystander is brimful of
questions: "Where are you hurt?"
"Have you sprained your ankle?" and
lastly the insane request to know
whether you can fall down flight of
20 steps or from a piazza 10 feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than if you had thrown yourself on a
down pillow only foot away.
OF course you are hurt, and the nerve
shock is SO great that any sort of ques-
ton, even if "they" shall fetch hot
water, is an additional blow to the nerv-
GUS system. You are suffering, per-
haps, too much to speak, yet they pelt
you with questions while every power
of your body is endeavoring to regain
self control You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that cit
hurts IA hundred times moro for being
summoned to speak and to diagnose
yourself.
All instructions in the line Of First
aid to the injured" should begin with,
"Be perfectly silent when you run to
lift or help Il person who has been
knocked down or who has fallen and is
still partly dazed with the tremendous
shock" Let it be for the sufferer to
say, ooh, my head!'' or ooh, my leg!'
or back. He will indicate as soon as it
is necessary the injured part, but mean
while you are driving him nearly fran
tic by asking about it. These simple yet
important directions do not seem to be
impressed upon tho average helpful
mind.
Tact, of all things, is as necessary as
d knowledge of u tourniquet made from
stick and pocket handkerchief. Hot
water, of course, is required for all
bruises and sprains, but let it be
brought without asking. The relief tC
the victim Of an accident in having
swift and noiseless helpers about him OF
Internationally silent, yet knowing ex-
actly what to dds very great. Any
one who "has been there" knows it all.
Yet how quickly is it forgotten when
we run to lift up somebody else and be-
gin to pelt him with: "Where did ii
hurt you?'' care you hurt?'-Phila.

Monkeys Have No FIeas.

1t is curious that monkeys should be
thought to be infected with what nat
uralists call the pulex irritans and
what ordinary people know as the flea.
AS every zoologist is aware, monkeys
have neither fieas nor any other para
site whatsoever; i'll which, of course,
they differ vastly from man.
As a matter of fact, when monkeys
begin to pick each other about in the
friendly way we have all observed, they
merely detach bits of hardened sebace-
GUS matter which has been excreted by
the glands, and the flea idea is entirely
fabulous. Pearson Weekly.
