Why One Feels Chilly When Lying

i5s DOWN 81 $55ssIs
The reason IS simply this. Nature
takes the time when one is lying down
to give the heart a rest, and that organ
consequently makes ten strokes less a
minute than when one IS il an upright
posture. Multiply that BY sixty min
utes and it is six hundred strokes.
Therefore in eight hours spent ID ying
down the heart is saved nearl {, 900
strokes, and as the heart pumps six
ounces Of blood wit sach stroke it
lifts 80, 600 ounces less Of blood in a

WAsHIxeTox, July 20. Generally
poor condition of fruit through
out the country is announced in
the agricultural department bull

in condition from Il to 64.6 during
June. The prospect for excel
lent crops still continues in New
England. New York, Pennsylva-

are also very fair in Nebraska and
several Of the Mountain states In
other parts of the country, the con-

lowest in the Atlantic coast states,
where percentages are generally below

the Western states. the figures are
somewhat higher. but nowhere above
81. which is the percentage returned
for Illinois and Missouri
The peach crop promises to be OF

WASHINGTON. July 2O-The CORES
pondence which has passed between
the governments of the United States
and Great Britain respecting the es-
Enlistment of general system of
arbitration for the settlement of any
disputes which might arise between
the countries, and also for the settle
ment by arbitration OF the dispute
over the Venezuelan boundary, has
been made public in the shape of an
evea dozen letters which have been
exchanged between Secretary Olney,
Lord Salisbury, Sir Julian Pauncefote
and Ambassador Bayard.
Notable features of the correspond
ence are the fact that. whereas Mr..
Bayard, by instruction of Secretary
Olney, proposed negotiations at Wash
ington respecting the Venezuelan
boundary dispute. Lord Salisbury
broadened it into a general arbitra-
ton scheme, following q lead set by
the late Secretary Gresham in the
spring Of 1895. Secretary Olney later
insisted upon disassociating the two
subjects. evidently fearing IN entan-
g.ing alliance otherwise.
As TO general arbitration, the issues
which still prevent an agreement are
the indispOsitiOn of the British gov
eminent to include territorial dis
putes. save with the addition that, in
the estimation of Secretary Olney.
Will render the attempt at arbitration
nugatory. because there are means Of
making the findings of the arbitrators
binding upon the parties or of remov-
ing them from the possibility of infinite
appeals. AS to the Venezuelan matter,
specifically, the difficulty that cannot
be overcome is the refusal of the
British to subject to the action of the
arbitration the territory upon which
British subjects have actually settled
Imitation arbitration is what Secre-
tary Olney desigua tes Lord Salisbury's
project, while the British premier
criticises Secretary Olney's plan as

NEBRASKA DELEGATION
Red Hot for the Endorsement Of Bryan
and SewalL

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July 2;.-The Ne
braslSa delegation, with United Sem
ator Allen At its head, arrived to-day,
making visible augmentation of the
Bryan forces. All say that the Popu-
list party of the state is solid tor
Bryan and express confidence in his
Endorsement
'Why shouldn't we indorse Bryau?"
said Senator Alien, asking question
in reply 10 one. 1T is
good policy the wise and proper
thing to do. Mr.. Bryan represents
three il no. more of the Popn!ist doc
trines-the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. the income tax and and a
revenue tariff. Our Endorsement of
Bryan gives reasonable hope of sue
cess at the polls. With our indorse-
ment he will win. If we fail to in
dorse him the logical effect will be
the same as If we had Endorsed McKin-
ley. Hence the choice Is between Nc
Kinley and gold and an abnormally
high tariff and Bryan and free silver,
a tariff for revenue, the income tax
and other reforms"
What is the present prospect Of
his Endorsement"
II think it good" was the reply.
"There is good deal Of noisy demon
stration in the hotel corridors in oppo-
sition, but it amounts to nothing"
The Nebraska delegation is thor
oughly organized and is doing mis-
siona-y work among the ''middle-of-
the-road" Populists 1--WE want to
show them" said Senator Allen,
''where the middle is"
The senator expressed the opinion
that whether Bryan was Endorsed or
not the Populist convention would
promplgate platform Of its own.

this morning. only three houses being

The fire was of incendiary origin

Malvern was place of about 5000
Inhabitants, the business portion of
the place being clustered around the

to lead that side of the fight in the
convention.

way in allaying the middle of the road
feeling is ex-Congressman W. A. Har.
ris of Kansas.
AS to the proposition to let Sewall
out and put Southern Popuiist in his
place, Mr. Harris thinks it will be for
gotten and not be brought up in the
convention. Personally" he said,
Il would have preferred Senator
Daniel or Mr.. Silly for the vice presl-
dency. but we have been given Mr..
Sewall and, unless we could effect the
change by agreement. it would be un-
wise for US to arbitrarily put man
in opposition to him. Our fight is for
free silver, and the Chicago conven-
ton has taken such an advanced step
toward US that we cannot afford to
split hairs"
MISSOURI MEN AGAINST FUSION.
Missouri is on the ground in force,
State Chairman Rozzelle's headquar-
tiers being crowded ali day and the
Missourians being very much in evil
dence about the headquarters in the
Lindell. Some of them were very
loud in their opposition to the NOM
ination or Endorsement of Bryan.
They joined hands with the middle
of-the-road" people and lent their
voices to the general hubbub in the
corridors of the hotels.
The Illinois delegates are already
here under the watchful eye of Chair
man Taubeneck. They held an IN
formal conference, at which nothing
definite was lone, and then the Bryan
men began their PROSECUTING. AS a re-
suit of their labors it is said to be
doubtful whether Taubeneck can hold
the State in line.
Part of the delegation from Massa-
chusetts has arrived. Its members

Jerry Simpsons Opinion.

ST. Louis, No., July 2l.-Ex-Con-
gresham Jerry Simpson is strongly of
the opinion that Bryan and Sewall
will be Endorsed. THE issue is para
mount" said he, land men dare not
play politics at such time as this.
IT this convention should refuse to
indorse Bryan the Populist party
would not contain corporal's guard
in November. Honest Endorsement is
the only salvation of the party. So
far as Kansas is concerned, it matters
not what this convention does We
will lndorse Bryan and vote foe sill
