ed man before daylight this morning
held up the agent and robbed the Santa
Fe depot at Saffordsville, twelve miles
west of here. He suddenly appeared
at the ticket window, showed a revolver
into the face of the ticket agent, and
ordered him to throw up his hands. He
secured only a small amount of money
He then ordered the agent to open the
Wells-Fargo express safe. This the
agent convinced him could not be done,
as neither key nor combination was in
his possession. The robber then disap-
peared, and there is no clew.

View OF the Political Situation i'm the
United States.

CHICAGO, Oct 23.-Tnomas Lloyd,
edltor-in-c OF the London "Statist,"
VINO Is making tour of the United
states 10 study the political conditions,
to-day cabled his paper as follows:
several politicians from the South
and West are now in Chicago which at
Hfst slght gives the impression that
lnere Is more difference of political
opinion here than in New York, but in
reallty llhd that the people of Chicago,
al least all OF them who have anything
10 lose, are supporters Of Mckinley.
Mf Hanna, who is the organizer of
the Repupican party, speaks very con-
hdentiy. he says he is certain of car
rying llllnols, Michigan and Indiana
ana ne mas strong hopes of winning sew
eral Southern and Western States. On
the other hand, Mr.. Bryans committee
speaks equally confidently. They do
NOT expect as large a majority as Mr.
hanna says ne is sure of, but they pro-
TESS TO be convinced that they will win
The main doubt of those who speak i'm
partially is as to the farmers and the
laborers. IT is believed that the rise in
wheat and cotton, as we'll as the active
campaign that has been conducted for
some months, has convinced a great
number OF farmers. And great numbers
of the working classes promise to vote
for Mckinley, but many with whom I
have discussed the subject fear that a
large proportion of the workingmen
promise their employers one thing and
will vote quite differently when the day
comes.
1T is noteworthy that of all the news
papers published in Chicago only one
supports Mr.. Bryan, but / ought to add
that considerable number of individ-
ual journalists with whom I have spok-
en- are supporters Of Mr. Bryan 1t is
very difficult for stranger to form a
correct opinion in the clash Of argument
and assertion, but it seems certain in
Chicago, just as i'm New York, that those
who have anything to lose are for sound
money.

pack the Supreme Court frightens the
property class quite as much as free
silver; but they are two-edged. They
attract a large proportion of the Ia
borers, while they unite capitalists. For
instance, I hear of Southern planters
who shrink from supporting the Repub-
licans, but who vote for Bryan, and
who intend to give holiday on cleo
ton day to their colored laborers, SO
that they will vote for Mckinley"

Value of Farm Amin ais.

According to statistics published by
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, says the Iron Age, the
aggregate value of farm animals in
the United States has declined very
materially in recent years. At the
present time the value Of these animals
is $755, $50, 597 less than it was in 1898.
The decline is more particularly OBJ
servant in the case of horses. Taking
the five years from 1890 to 1896, it is
shown that horses increase in number
until 1898. In 1892. however, their
value began to fall off, and in 1895 it
was not quite half that of 1892, show.
ing an aggregate decline in this respect
of about $500,000,000. This deprecia-
ton is isattributed in the main to the in
PRODUCTION of trolley cars and byci-
cles. The high cost of fodder, howev-
er, after recent seasons of drought, is
also given as contributing cause.
The value of mules since 1890 has fall
en- nearly $50, 900, 900, or not far from
half the total existing value of these
animals in the United Safes. On the
other hand, milch COWS have increas-
ed in number, while the average value
of these animals has advanced steadily
within the past few years. The in
crease in the value of milch COWS last
year, as compared with 1894, is 81, 300,.
900. Oxen and other cattle decreased in
numbers more than 100000 in 1895,
while their value increased on an aver
ages $1.80 head in the same period.
A decline is noted in the numbers and
value of sheep in the last three years,
the decrease in value aggregating
about $50, 900, 900, and the falling off
in numbers of these animals last year
being nearly 100000. Swine, in
1895, declined 3 per cent il number
and Is per cent in aggregative value,
the total decrease in the value of fswine
in 1895 being nearly 100000. 1t
is expected, however, that the enor-
nous corn crop of last year will have
favorable effect upon the next state
ment of farm animals, the tendency
to an increase in numbers and value
being already observable Times and

the recent Michigan Democrtic State
convention, reading from an article
written by one of the delegates who
had participated ''in that shameful
scene" The article detailed the action
of "backsliders" and traitors" who
had been instructed for silver and
voted against it. The Senator said he
had many letters from men OF high
standing including some of those
chosen to the national convention
detailing the circumstances of the
Michigan convention as a shame and
disgrace to American public life" Al
ter further denunciation of the infiu-
ence brought to bear on conventions,
Mr.. Vest closed with a startling de-
claration as to his own position. II
am a delegate to the national conven-
tion," said he, ian unwilling dele
gate, chosen by my people, and I serve
notice now that if that convention at
Chicago is to be made up of Office hol-
ders, to stifle and prevent the express
ton of the will of the people, then ii
is no Democratic convention to me.
The Democratic party is the party of
honorable expression, not of Federal
patronage.

Another Advance Made.

The Keelev cure has been introduced
into theSt. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Nd. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute of
Maryland by which the Kelley treat
ment shall be administered at their hos.
pitaL by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service Of
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving so ef-
ficacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues be given
the treatment.
