emf grated into the wilderness. But
the old party arose in its majesty and
snapped assunder the cords that bound
it to Mammon's chariot wheels. 1t
drove the unrighteous money-changer
from the temple with no gentle hand.
1t has restored the household gods that
had been cast down by the ruthless
hand of the stranger. 1t now calls to
its departed sons to return and help
preserve the old home from the alien
and enemy And this call will be an
swered. Already the land echoes with
the tramp of their returning footsteps.
Could every Populist in the land feel

landism, no more MugwuDpery, no
more Standard Oil Statesmen domino
tion in the party, Populism would dis
appear at once. To those who doubt
US we say, keep up your organization
until you are satisfied of our good
faith, but help US and yourselves, too,
in our supreme effort to unseat the
English and American Money Lords
WHO now eat our substance. If we are
successful we are willing that Mr..
Bryan shall provide for the men whom
you wish to honor, side by side with
our own.

Sewail did not seek any place on our
ticket. The Office sought the man,
and before he is turned down in any
respect he should be consulted.
The Democratic candidates of this
State are conscientious, and there is
not weak mar among them; but we
warn them that any departure from
party traditions will prove an element
of weakness rather than of strength.
The plain common people everywhere
understand that this is fight between
gold and greed on the one side, and
silver and the emancipation of labor
on the other. No mans personality
will count for anything in the coming
fight.
Men who have heretofore handled
successfully the live wires of politics
are at sea. Conditions have changed,
and they fpd it difficult to keep in the
current. We do not wish to be re-
garde6 as disturber of the political
peace, but we believe we should stand
shoulder-to-shoulder in the present
campaign, welcoming all who wish to
join US in our fight; but we should
create no precedent to arise and smite
US in years to come. We impugn no
mans motives. We believe that the
Committee will endeavor to act for the
best interests of the party, but we be-
lieve we should stand on the platform
and by the candidates given to US at
Chicago, toot the horn, and rally the
boys to the old colors.

DIED-At the family residence, in
Ironton, Mo-, on Monday, August 18th,
1896, at 1905 o'clock P. NJ, MRS. MARY
c. C. STRONG, wife of DR.. S. E. Strong,
aged SIS years, II months and days.
Mrs. Strong (nee Cole) was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. ~, 1910. Her
parents died during the cholera cpl
demic of 1849. Her uncle was ap-
pointed guardian of the child, and took
her to his home in Jacksonville, Ills. +,
where she was carefully reared, and
resided until Nov. Z, 1866, when she
was married to DIR. S. E. Strong.
They removed to st. Louis in the fall
of 1870, and resided there until March,
1873, when they removed to st. Ma
rvs, Mo. Thence they came to Pilot
Knob in February, 1887, residing in tho
Valley since that time. OF this union
one daughter was born, who, with
her father, survives TO mourn the death
of the beloved mother and wife, which
resulted from atrophy of the stom-
ach, the deceased having suffered to a
greater or less degree for thirty years
from ulcer of the stomach. She was

No murmur escaped her lips, though
for the last thirty days she was unable
to retain food. and slowly died of in-
anition. During these days she was
tenderly nTrsed by her sisters. Mrs. S.
Z. Lowe and Mrs. G. C. Anderson OF
indianapolis, and her brothers, DR.. w.
c. Cole, of Jacksonville. Ills, and Jno.
L. Cole, of Bethany, Mo-, were also
present. All that loving care and
skill could suggest was done to defer
the inevitable result. but the patient
spirit broke from its earthly ties and
winged its fight into realms eternal,
despite of all.
The funeral took place Tuesday at
8 O'Clock p. NJ, from the NJ. Z. Church,
Rev. Aspley officiating. and was very
largely attended. The casket was
decorated with flowers Hastily arrang-
ed by loving hands. and the remains
were borne to their final resting place
attended by sympathizing friends and
mourning kindred.
In this connections, the sorrowing
relatives desire US 10 return their
heartfelt thanks TO those who so kind
ly waited on Mrs. Strong during her

that unless the Chicago Convention

all right-just what Judge Dining in

expect him to give us another riproar-

Mrs. Frances F. LeCkey
Took Her Own Life.
Body Found on the Bed With
the Gas Jet Turned On.
She Resided on Taylor Street and
Owned Some Real Estate.

In strong contrast to the sweet SMELL
ing, bracing air this morning there is
sued from the lower tenement OF the
two-story frame cottage at Al Taylor
street an unpleasant pungent smell OF
gas that attracted the attention of
Bridget Gallooly q domestic employed
by Mrs Eliza Walker, the occupant of the
second floor. An investigation in which
Mrs. Munro, a next door neighbor took
part followed, and as result the body
OF Mrs. Frances +. Leckey was found
stiff and lifeless, stretched at full length
upon her bed. The windows and doors
were closed, the air filled with the
suffocating fumes OF gas, and the gas jet
open. Such were the conditions under
which the body was fouEd at 8 O'Clock
this morning. snd shortly afterward Med
icsl Examiner Perkins gave 1t as his
official opinion that the deceased had
caused her own death by asphyxistion
by Illuminating gas.
Mrs. I.eckey was 65 years OF age and
leaves a grown son and daughter by a
former husband, Mathew and Myra
Frankiyn, who are at present away on a
visit.
Mrs. Lecky only occupied her. apart
ments in the cottage for the past five
weeks, and though quiet ana retiring,
did not seem TO be brooSing over any
trouble. Her death was a great sur
prise and shock to the neighbors.
Some significance, however, may he
attached to the fact that her husband
Leckey, has not been seen since her
residence in the neig Dor hood.
Mrs. Leckey is said to nave owned
the house in which she lived, the one
adjoining it and some property further
down town.

posed of Today.

The Oldest case in the District Court
was settled this morning. One OF the
parties 10 the suit mas been dead for
several years.
Years ago William b. Nichols bought
boat and 1t was claimed that he did not
know there was a mortgage on 1t.
Nichols lived in Warren and was legis-
lative representative from that town TO
the General bly,. Before he died
he found out that Job Wilbur, who
collects 10 per cent. a month, held
SIC0 mortgage on the boat, but he de-
clined to recognize it, claiming that be
bought the craft supposing 1t TO be free
Of all encum brances. Suit was brought
by Wilbur TO get his money and the case,
like mary other cases, dragged its length
in court. Ii was a venerable cause, and
was the great-grand- father OF the District
Court calendar. Ii popped up occas'
sionally and then 1t popped back In Its
old place again. Today it came out in the
beautiful atmosphere Of perfect august
day and was settled for oil time. Job
Wilbur got his S100 without interest,
and the heirs OF the late Mr.. Nichols
will be bothered no moro.

Which He Was Not Employed.

The upright engine OF the Narragnnsett

blood.

He was literally ground to pieces in
2i-inch gear.
William Bowding, about S5 years of
age, was employed as a shoveller Of hot
sand, and at the time of the accident was
alone in the works. The other workmen
were at dinner, and the engineer,
Michael Slattery, had left the
engine running. II is presumed hat the
dead man thought that the engine needed
oiling and stopped over TO do the work
when his clothing caught in the gear and
ho was whirled about the wheel at the
rate of mile q minute. lie screamed for
assistance and Charles II. Russell heard
the fearful cry. so did the engineer aud
both rushed into the engine room to see
a fearful sight. The disem bowelled and
nude tody of Bowding was being
thrnshed with terrible velocity.
The engine was stopped as soon as
possible. Then the body had to be dug
away from the gear. Bowling was dead.
Bowding boarded at 377 Eddy street,
and so far as is known was a single man.
He was a native OF Belle Isle, Newfound-
land, and had no near reatives in this
city. Medical Examiner Perkins viewed
the remains, and then gave permission

EVERY EvENING-ONE CENT.
TWO PRIZE WINNERS.
Pawtucket and Central Falls Veteran
Firemen Are Happy.
The Gaspee Was a disappointment at
New Bedford's Muster.

Providence and vicinity did not fare so
badly after all at the New Bedford Fire
mems muster yesterday. or course the
Gaspees expected first prize, but they
experienced their usual luck for some
thing happened. The double decker
couldn't squirt water far enough to get
first money, however, wss the real
reason. watchemoket was disappointed.
This old time prize winner wasn't in the
game in the Whale city. Pawtucket up
held the honor OF these plantations,
however, and came home happy with
the third prize and good record. The
Volunteers OF Contra. Falls added TO the
glory OF the town by having the
largest number of red shirted
men in line and presenting the hest
general appearance. For this fea-
ture they were awarded the first
prize, and they deserved 1t by a large
majority. The Gaspee failed TO como any
where near what was expected OF her,
and the veterans had to be content with
the 18th place. Consequently there is
considerab BILE gloom hereabouts today.
The parade previous to the trial and
contest was one OF the most imposing
ever seen in New Bedford. The line of
red-shirted men and gaily bedecked hand
engines stretched over a mile OF terri
tory and made a sight long TO be remem-
bered. There was heap OF fun in the
town, too, and no one begrudged the
victory of the first prize winner, the
Nonatum hand engine from Newton.
