THE LOGAN REUNION.
A Good Time for the Veterans of
Phillips County.

Logan, Sept. 1S.-The business houses
of this city are gaily decorated with
flags and bunting in honor of the six
teenth annual reunion of the Old Sol
dies and Sailors association of Phillips
and Old Glory proudly floats from
the school house and many private
residences. Camp Logan. adjoining the
town, is just now the Hveliest town in
northwest Kansas. One hundred tents
have been pitched and are occupied by
the old boys in blue and their families.
Camp kettles and mess pots are scat
tered through the walks of the camp,
and the cOmmiSSary is busy dealing
out rations of bacon, beans, etc. Com
mander j. B. Hicks and Secret ary Ma
jor William Drumhiller are at their
posts of honor, and if any one misses
any of the enjoyment afforded at this
reunion it will be no fault of theirs.
George Peaks martial drum corps of
Beaver township is a great attraction,
and when the boys strike up any of the
old war pieces they rally the boys in
blue around them as they did from 1851
to 1865.
Comrades are here from Phillips, Nor
ton, Smith, Mitchell, Osborne and Ora
ham counties, and if all the speakers
attend who are on the programme, the
boys in blue will do little else than
listen to campfire stories and lessons of
the great conflict.
D. NJ. Cox of this city made the well
The Logan glee club, which has the
reputation of having in its membership
the handsOmest young ladies and gen
tIemen in northwest Kansas, sang sew
eral patriotic songs and war pieces dur
ing the reunion.
Patriotic addresses were delivered by
Senator w. A. PETER, Rev. G. w. Hood,
w. H. Mcbride, Captain w. s. TiltOn,
Ex-Governor Humphrey, W. B. Sutton,
Department Commander w. c. Whit
ney, S. w. NIcElroy, Captain F. Charles
worth, Colonel c. D. Jones, Governor
E. N Morrill, Major VIM Drumhtller
and others, and strange as it may seem,
there was no politics talked from the
speakers stand.
The people of Logan deserve all pos
sible praise for the manner in which
they took care of and entertained the
great crowd. Every one of her citf-
zens had work to perform, and they
did it with vim and Willingness.
Hundreds of old comrades expressed
their intention of visiting Topeka Re
union week and go into camp with the
boys in blue.

ing Last Night.
AN ENORMOUS CROWD.

Canton, Sept 19.-The formal open
ing OF the campaign in Canton yester-
day gives Ohio a new mark in political
concentrations. Future comparisons
viii be made with September Is, 1896,
in Canton in the future That is the
concensus Of opinion expressed here
last night And the opinion comes from
old timers in political warfare, from
men accustomed to big crowds and IA
work
The parade in the afternoon was an
hour and three minutes in passing a
given point And it was a well organ
lied and compact parade, too, the men
marching eight and sixteen abreast.
but the maTchers were only q fraction
OF the crowd and when. in response to
bugle calls. they assembled at the points
assigned there was scarcely any ap-
prectable diminution in the crowds
which lined the streets along the pro-
posed order of march. Railroad men
claimed at noon that they had hauled
$1,000 people into Canton. Seventy-ftve
train loads came. State Republican
Chairman Charles KurtZ last night es-
timated the crowd present on the
streets in the afternoon parade. at the
big tent meeting and about the Mckin-
ley home al 100. 900 and far ahead of
anything in Ohio's history.
Congressman Stephen A NOrthway
said il was as large as the Western Re
serve meeting for Garfield. Hon. Syl-
Vester T. Everett of Cleveland said the
memorable Crapt-COnkliug meeting at
Warren could not compare with it. Spe-
cial excursions from Cleveland and
dozen other points added to the crowd
after the afternoon programme had
been finished Sixty thousand may be
considered a conservative estimate OF
the people who came by rail. OF the
5000 people in Stark county, probably
half were at the Canton meeting

MISS JARRELL'S CONCERT.
Frank JarreIl's Sister Leads Musical
Circles in Atchison.

The Atchison Globe says of a concert
given at Atchison by Miss Mamie Jar
rell, a sister of Frank FARRELL of this
city, and we'll known here:
Miss JarrelPs concert packed the
house last night as usual A pleasing
feature of the programme was that al
most no encores were allowed, and the
programme was carried through from
beginning to end without any breaks
or tiresome waits. 1t was probably the
best managed amateur concert in this
particular, ever given in AtchisOn. The
gem of the performance was the chorus
oh, Italia from 'Lucrezia' and the lit
tie duet in it, taken by Luther Bright
and Miss Grace Nipple, was as good
singing as you will hear anywhere. Miss
Nipple has a remarkably sweet contral-
to voice, and it is a wonder that some
church choir hasn't grabbed her. At
the conclusion of the programme there
was dancing on the stage of the thea

BRADSTREET,S REPORT.
The Volume of Fall Sales Shows 8
Gain Over Last Week.

New York. Sept. 1s.-Bradstreet's
says:
The moderate Improvement in trade
the past week is emphasized by fur

surplus stocks of cotton goods. increased
demand for seasonable fabrics, contin-
ued confidence among manufacturers of
iron and steel that there will be an
early revival in demand and improve
ment III request for staple goods in the
south Atlantic and Gulf states.
The volume of sales of general mer-
chandfse shows small gain over last
week, and the feeling among wholesale
merchants is one of more confidence in
a comparatively early Improvement.
Unexpectedly large sales of dry goods
are expected from Boston, Chicago and
st. Louis, with indications that they
may continue throughout the month.
At the more important northwestern
centers larger sales of hats, shoes,
hardware and drugs are reported, al
though the total is less than in the like
period of last year. Much of the gain
at the south is due to the rapidity with
which the cotton crop is being gathered
and marketed.
At San Francisco general business is
somewhat more active, particularly ex-
ports of barley. Trade has been slim
ulated at leading Washington business

and 4727, 600 in the like week of 1898
There has been a heavy increase in
wheat exports from the Pacific coast
this week as compared with last, but
a falling off in shipments from the AT

The number of failures throughout
the United States this week is 315, which
is more than last week, 81 more than
in the corresponding week last year, 81

SENATOR SMITHS REASON.
For Resigning The Craftsmanship Of
New Jersey Democratic Committee.

Long Branch, N. J., Sept. 19.-United
States Senator James Smith, Jr., of
New Jersey, chairman OF the state
Democratic committee has given out
the following statement regarding the
Chicago platform: The lines upon
which the present political campaign Is
being conducted and the Interpretation
of the Chicago platform by the New
Jersey convention held to select cleo
tors are in opposition to views which 1
EXPRESSED when called upon to speak
on financial questions in the senate. My
desire has been to find a way to har-
monte those views with the platform
declaration and to harmonic my indi-
viduaI opinion with the expression of
the party councils. With these objects
in mind I have given the question
careful consideration The result is 1
find my mind agreeing with the course
I took in the senate as the only one
consistent with the sound financial pol
icy. This conclusion being fixed, it nee
essarily follows that I should not par
ticipate in the direction of the cam
paign as a member of either the nation
al or state committees. Justice to the
candidates demands that their cause be
in the hands of those who are without
doubt as to the correctness of the policy
proposed by every plank in the plat
form. I have therefore decided to re-
sign from any leading position in the
political management of the campaign.
In doing this, I am governed by a sense
Of prOpriety and not by any intention
to set up my personal views against the
expressed policy of my party But as a
Democrat obedient to party, I must and
do bow to the will Of the ma jOrity and
unhesitatingly express my belief that
the people may safely trust a Demo-
cratic president and congress for what
ever legislation may prove necessary
for the welfare of the country. CSigned1
