IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.

DEs MONIES, July 9.-John Miller,
assignor of onc-fourth to Z. E.
Gatchel, (both of Stuart. Iowa. has
been allowed a patent for hardening
copper. The primary object of the
patent law is not for individual benefit,
but for the public good and monopoly
of any patentabIe discovery or inven-
tion is granted in view of getting it on
record so it cannot become lost art.
Mr.. Miller's invention consists in
composition and process for harden
ing copper, covered by separate clairns)
and is an important improvement in
metallurgy. A razor and other edge
tools exhibited show that ductile
copper has been hardened to adapt it
for making edge tools that require
strength and durability. Mr.. Miller
claims that his process also prevents
oxidation and detoriation, and
consequently there will be no
verdigris to poison persons who
may be wounded by tools made
of copper. Valuable information about
obtaining, valuing and selling pat
ents sent free to any address. Printed
copies of the drawings and specifica-
tlons of any United States patent sent
upon receipt of 25 cents. Our practice
is not confined to Iowa. Inventors in
other states can have our services up
on the same terms as the Hawkeyes

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. July 2O.-Chairman
Taubeneck of the Populist national
committee returned from Chicago this
morning and his coming was the sig
nal for renewed activity on the part
of the iddle-of-the-road Populists,
who hope to prevent an Endorsement
of Bryan and the Chicago platform.
His visit to Chicago. which was partly
due to his fear that the Illinois dele
cation would leave him in the lurch,
and not to make terms with the Dem
ocrats as was reported yesterday, was
apparently not productive of results.
This morning he was in secret confer
ence with the anti Bryan leaders and
the national headquarters were prac-
tically deserted.
Mr. Taubeneck, it is said, found
several stun bling blocks in his path

CESrRALIA, Ill, July 1G.-William
]. BRYAN arrived here yesterday, ana
was accorded q demonstration as
hearty as it was unexpected. Captain
s. l.. Dwight met them and took them
to his home Mrs. Dwight is a cousin
of Mr.. Bryan. At the home OF Cap
tam Dwight there was an informal
reception 10 the ladies of Centralia,
who were presented TO the nominee
and his wife. A large crowd assembled
at the city park, where Mr.. Bryan
spoke, in part as follows:
II trust that the issues involved In
this campaign will be clearly under
stood and carefully studied. Parties
are not made To- be worshiped. They
are merely the instruments by which
we serve our country. The people are
made. not for parties, but parties are
made for the people, and parties can
only claim the support of the people
when they are efficient instruments IN
the hands of people of accomplishing
good. And those who are called upon
to vote have right to consider the
platform utterances or policies adVo-
Gated by the various parties, as wen
as the character of the candidates
who are nominated.
The issue is drawn and we have
our choice in this campaign between
an American financial system for the
American people and an English tinan-
clal system to be forced upon us. zap
plause) Those who believe in rum
ming this government on the European
plan should go and legislate with the
Republican party. (AppIause and
laughter.) If | mistake not, the pa.
triotism of the people whose patriot.
ism has never been appealed to IN
vain, there can be but one issue in
this campaign, and but one result.
(Applause.) If they ask us, What
about other questions?' we tell them
that so long as the right of self-gov--
ernment is in danger there is no other
question. (Applause) Why discuss
things if we be not powerful enough
to act when we have the power
I've not the time nor disposition to
talk to you at this time, but want to-
impress upon your minds two things.
| want you to ask two questions
which ought to be asked over and
over again in this campaign, each
time with increased emphasis, and the
two questions are these:
IF the gold standard is a good
thing why ought we try to get rid of
1t?'
If it is bad thing, why should
we keep it until some other nation
helps us to get rid of lt?' (Applause.)
There was tremendous applause
when Mr.. Bryan ceased speaking. The
visitors were then escorted to z car
riage, and amid the peals OF bands,
driven to the railway station, where
they torlt the train for Salem. Ex-
tensive preparations have been made
for the demonstration 1T Salem to-day.
The placards advertising it announce
that Governor Altgeld will be there,
and speak in behalf of the national
ticket.

TELLER STANDS BY BRYAN.
Will Lend Every Energy to Bring About
His Endorsement


DENVER, Col, July Ex-senator
Teller said yesterday: My friends
and myself will lend every energy to
bring about Mr.. Bryan's. Endorsement
at st. Louis. OF course, there is go
ing to be some opposition. Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina is
leading the opposition. l believe he
is making a mistake. l think he and
his friends will realize this before the
convention, and l am willing to make
this prophecy: Either the Popuiists
will indorse Bryan or they will fail to
make a nomination There is no rea-
son why they should not indorse him,
for the financial plank adopted by
the Chicago convention is all the Pop
ulists can ask for, and the other
planks of the platform are certainly
more than they had any reason to ex
pect from a Democratic convention"
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1896-07-24

for Bryan and there are many other
Populists in Illinois who are believed
to hold the same opinion. To have
his own delegation go against him
would be very distasteful.
In their conference the anti Bryan
men agreed on no definite plan Of
action, but they seemed determined
to make straight out fight for a sep
arate ticket and platform. The Mis-
! sissippi, Rhode Island, Connecticut.
Michigan and Texas delegations will
help them.
At the Omaha-Bryan headquarters
there was much iubllat1on over indi-
cations of the growing strength of
the movement to indorse Bryan and
Sewall.
GOVERNOR STONE ON THE SCENE.

was Governor Stone of Missouri He
came it is said, in response to Il tele-
gram from some of the Populists, who
are in favor Of the nomination or in
dorsement of Bryan, and is to do mis-
sionary work among the middle of

to hold mass meeting at the Lindell
hotel tomorrow afternoon to start the
movement against Bryan. and Gov
ernor Stone and other friends of the
Democratic candidate, will try to neu-
trallze the efforts of the opposition.

meets the approval of the Populists
who have been consulted. 1t is that
they shall insist upon the withdraw wal
of all Democratic congressional NOM
lnees who are "sound money or gold
standard men. or, if they will not
withdraw, that the silver men and
Populists unite in putting up in every
congressional district a free silver
candidate This, it is urged, should
be presented to the national Demo-
cratic committee as an ultimatum.
The Populists, it is understood, are to
concentrate their work and attempt
to elect a congress which will favor
free silver and to accomplish this it
is necessary to have the cooperation
of the Democratic party

Secretary j. H. Turner of the Popu-

this morning, is outspoken in his de-
sire that this convention shall indorse
Bryan and Sewal. ''It is ii prac-
tical and patriotic thing for US to do"
said he .iIf we fail to do it we will
jeopardize the vital issue of the cam
paign-free silver-an original tenet
of the Populist faith. l believe free
silver is going to win, anyhow, and if
we fail to indorse the only man who
stands any chance of winning for the
cause of silver, we will be shorn of
any OF the glory except as individuals
and be classed as its enemy. The ma
jority of Populists are not going to

tion of silver to its constitutional

WHERE ANCHORS ARE MADE.
An Industry That FlOurishes in .ne
Little Town of Camden, Ne.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There are larger number of ships an
chors manufactured in the little town of
Camden, Me, than at all the other places
in this country combined. All of the state
ly ships that come out of the Maine ship
yards look TO the village on Penobscot
bay fer their anchors. Sturdy smiths
swing their hammers day after day all
the year long in the black, smoky, long,
low Camden shops where only anchors
are forged. Sometimes the trip-ham-
mers are going all night about the FORCES.
and the blazing of the fires and the rims
of the hammers are seen and heard for
miles across the bay.
Thousands of tons of old iron are pur-
chased by these queer Camden establish
mentS every year, for anchors are forged
largely from cast-off iron. The material
is cut into small pieces by great shears.
that clip through the iron as easily as d
cheese knife slices a cheese. The pieces
are bound into bundles by strong wires,
and are then fused in the FORCES. Then
they are pounded and welded, some work
men fashiOning rings, others shaping the
flukes, other hammering out the palms.
and others forging the shanks. Then the
"completers take the different parts ana
fuse and weld them into the finished an
Choir. Anchors of all sizes and weights
are turned out from the noisy shops or
Camden, from the graceful little pleas
ure boat anchor, Weighing but a few
pounds to theg reat 5000 and 7,500-pound
anchors, for the biggest ships.
The visitors in Camden Will see many
interesting relics in the line of rusty and
broken anchors that did duty in their
day on famous merchant vessels, historic
warships and sturdy whalers. The an
Choir of the famous frigate Cumberland
was repaired and fitted with a new stock
at the Camden works, and is now at sea
on the forcastle of a big ship. The ola
stock was splintered up for the gratific l.
ton of relic hunters, and there is only a
silver or two of the historic wood left
in Camden. This was the anchor which
went down with the Cumberland when
she sank after her fight with the Merri-
mac in Hampton roads, hence the great
demand for splinters of the stock
There are something like 5000 people liv-
ing Camden, and anchor making is the
principal industry there.

Ties That Bind.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The hard-hearted proprietor of a thread
mill has issued an order that girls en-
ployed in his factory must wear button
boots, as they lost too much time in
tying their shoe-strings when they be-
came unfastened. In the case of one girl
stopping to retie her Shoe-string the loss
of time was of course, insignificant but
when two hundred girls were continu-
ally stopping to retie strings the loss
was considerable. This view of the waste
of time in stopping to retie shoe-strings
does not affect the summer girl who has
a pretty foot Her shoe strings will come
united as of former seasons, as she wan
ders along the beach and climbs the
mountain, and the summer young man
will tie it for her as of yore, and neither
of them viii figure out the loss of time
consumed in the operation. 1t has been
observed before now that a woman with
an ugly foot could learn to tie a knot
that never comes undone, while a girl
with a No 2 foot was forever having TO
tie her shoe-strings. few years ago
a manufacturer brought out a little de-
vice to slip over the tie in a shoe-string
which effectually kept it from coming
undone. 1t was thought he would reap
a fortune out of 1t; but it never had
any vogue. Women with big Trilbys
didn't need ii, and women with Cinderella
feet didn't want it. A woman knows
whether she is wasting time or not on
her Shoe-stringS.
