PURSUED BY A BEAR.
Farmers Have an Exciting Race Near
Victor.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, July POI
Nj. Steele, Alex. Steele and w. M.
Scaggs have had quite an exciting
experience in the little town Of Vic
tor, Fayette county, with bear.
Scaggs heard a hog, and, thinking a
dog was worrying it, went to the
rescue. Instead of dog, he found
the hog, fine 200-pound fellow, in
the clutches of a big black bear,
which was making rapid Roadway in
dispatching it.
Scaggs had no weapon and threw
a rock at the bear. The bear then
dropped his hold on the hog and
started fer Seaggs. Scaggs made IA
run for it through the brush. At
this juncture James Steele happened
to arrive, and, having revolver took
a shot at the running bear, but evil
IDENTIFY missed him, o. at least did
no serions harm, for the bear turned
upon him and soon put him to flight.
Both Steele and Scaggs ran to
Scaggs' house and locked the bear
out. Alex. Steele, hearing the com.
motion, got his gun and came upon
the scene. His first shot failed to
bring down the bear, but 1t evident
~ scared him, for he took to the
mountains. Several other shots were
fired at him, but he finally escaped.
a bear hunt will be organized and
the farmers in that section are look
ing forward to great sport, for this is
the first bearseen in this section for
years.

Dig down to the cause of your
sickness, if you want to get well and
and stay well. Most likely it's in
digestion. The irritating poisons OF
fermenting, putrid food, left in the
stomach by Indigestion, cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, stomach ache, nausea irritabil-
ity, and all other well known symp-
toms of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not east
ly cured. But as soon as the poisons
are removed, all these symptoms and
disorders disappear, because there is
nothing left to cause them. Nothing
succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive
Cordial, because it prevents the I'M
digested food from fermenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to
digest its food.

A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long. and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 6, 900
feet vertically, to the river below
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for In the bottom Of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any Of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

THE GATHERING TIDE.
"Silver Cranks" Are Beginning to
Show Their Real Strength.

Show Their Heal Strength.
In many states says the New
York journal, 1.-THE gold men have re-
fused contemptuously to combat the
silver movement with argument or
political effort, believing it a pass
ing within which would disappear
with better crops; to constantly as
sert their numerical superiority and
describe their opponents as an insig
nificant handful of cranks has been
their uniform policy in almost every
state. 1t is apolicy which naturally
has neither won them many converts
or even aided to hold their own rank
and file enthusiastically together
We beg leave to suggest to the
journal that there was probably
more cunning and studied purpose
in the policy of attacking the silver
with abusive epithets than it sus-
poets. The plain truth is the gold
men were beaten out of the field OF
argument. The champions of bimct-
allism have every where grapplcl
eagerly with their opponents where
the latter have shown disposition
to try argument. Two years ago the
gold standard sentiment was com
paratively strong in the southern
states. Its advocates made their as
sault with such confidence. such inn
petuousity, such a braying of trum-
pets and humping of drums that
they overran considerable area of
free silver territory by the mere i'm
petns of their charge before they
could be checked. They brought in
to the service a large number Of able
and influential politicians and news
papers, new converts to the cause
The people wavered hesitated and
said: I'VE will think about this
little more; we will hear argument"
From that time on the gold men
have been steadily driven back from
the ground they had won. If they
abandoned argument, it was only af-
ter they were worsted in fair discus

Mr.. EDITOR: ! have been fire.
quently asked for my views on what
is known as the silver question. At
ter such careful examination and in
yestigation as ! have been able to
give the subject, / have come to the
conclusion that the restoration of
our silver dollar to the place that it
occupied in our monetary system
prior to the 18th day of February,
1873, is the only remedy that we, the
farming element, in this country, can
apply to the ills that afilict us. OF
course that means the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver and the
making of our silver dollar primary
and standard dollar Such is now
the case with gold and / can see no
reason why we should not recognize
silver in the same way.
1t is Certain that ever since 1873
the price of farm products and the
value Of lands have steadily and
wonderfully declined, and the farm
ing element of our country has been
at the mercy of the gold bugs of En-
gland and New York. / have seen
too many of my neighbors' farms sell
for prices that few years ago they
would have hooted at the idea of be-
ing compelled to take.
Taxation and interest are still high
as ever, whilst the products of our
farms and the value Of our farms
have gone down, down, down.
1t seems that the language used
by the great Blaine in 1880, fits the
case exactly. He said "the destruc-
ton of silver as money and establish
ing gold as the unit value must have
ruinous effect on all property ex-
cept those investments which yield
fixed return in money" Has rot
his predictions been verified? Who
can deny it?
The salaries of our officers were
mostly fixed in 1870 to 1872. Those
salaries remain the same but every
thing else has gone down. Now,
am in favor of that system which will
pull everything back to where it
stood years ago, or the salaries of of
ficials must be cut down.

subject. am farmer and am free

that the whole tendency of financial
Legislation has been to drive value

| believe that the RECOMMENDATION
and free coinage of silver and a
greater circulating medium for our
people in the way of money would
bring about better state of affairs,
and for that reason / will vote for no
man who is not in favor of my views

my interests and that of my friends. |

For instance, one Of the delegates said
the other day:
"There is an insurance company do

has that much more in assets. And
there was a man in this town who

REPUBLICANS COMING OVER.
Every Day Develops Men who Cannot
Swallow the st. Louis Platform.

UNION, w. VA, July 23.-Public
sentiment in behalf of free silver is
steadily growing in Monroe and adj
jacent counties, and every day devel-
ops the cases of more republicans
who have bolted Mckinley and will
vote for Bryan. They consider that
the st. Louis convention betrayed
them when it repudiated bimetallism
and nominated Mckinley upan
single gold standard platform. Many
of these men arc plain farmers and
not conspicuous in politics, but they
are firm in their resolve never to
vote for the single gold standard and
their votes will count just as much
as the proudest politician in the
land. Among them, however, are
several who have been well known in
public affairs. Col. J. w. Davis, of
Greenbrier, twice the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Third
district, boldly announces his deter
mination to fight Mckinley. His
son, Mr.. George Davis, has also re-
pudiated the St Louis ticket. Mr..
M. F. Bruffey, one of the most prom
inent and conscientious Republicans
in Monroe county, who has been
twice nominated for county offices,
has publicly announced that he will
not support Mckinley He sympa-
thizes heartily with the veteran Sen
ator Teller and like him is for free
silver, first, last and all the time, and
will vote that way. And there are
others-many others who will vote
for Bryan as against the gold monop-
olists, who dictated McKinley's nom
nation and platform. 1t is becom-
ing palmer every day that the Dem
ocratic party, representing as it does
the true cause OF the people, will
sweep the Third district next No

Mr.. Walker said to-day he had
never seen such remarkable
change in the sentiment of the peo-
pie on Political matters as is now
being exhibited by the people of
his State. In every community
members of all classes are attach
ing themselves to the free silver
cause. He said they realized that
the issue has been drawn squarely
between the single gold standard
and free silver, and that they are
ffocking to the support of the white
metal in vast numbers. One fea-
ture of the situation which attract
ed his attention was the fact that
this disposition of the people was
not confined to any particular Sec
ton, but was noticeable through
out the state. Mr.. Walker said
that where the democrats are losing
one gold standard man from their
own party, they are gaining ten
free silver converts from the Re-
publican ranks, who cannot abide
by-the platform of the st. Louis
