deadly.
Everybody looks to the Republican Ma
tional Convention to settle every problem
in sight.
Whatever action is taken at st. Louis
will be cordially ratified by the whole
country.

listed women in their army the defeat OF
the Spsniards Is easily explained. There

The earth whirls through space at the
rate of nineteen miles a second, and even
at that rate it hardly moves fast enough
