The Tour otaH Hat.

Several months ago Roger Powell, of
this city, who is in the employ of the
United States Express Co., went to
Sioux City to take out an express run
and before going purchased new
straw hat, intending to throw the old
one out of the car window. When
Roger went out on his express run he
put tag on the old hat with his name
attached, and started it on journey
and to haye it returned within six
months. he hadn't heard from his hat
until the other day when he received
an eastern paper containing q picture
uf the hat all covered with tags, with q
descriptive article concerning the tour
of the hat. Roger isn't sure of the re-
turn of the hat now that it has acquir-
ed sach reputation and it is evidently
in the possession Of Uncle Joshua Le-
vering an old officer Of the express
company.

What Was Seen on the Side.

The procession looked like there
were fully 200 men in it but count of
noses revealed just exactly 80 and no
more, this including dozen boys.
1t was noticeable fact that all the
speakers were formerly republicans. 1t
was evident the other wing.of the free
silver people were not to be represent
ed on this occasion.
The populist free silver element will
hold their ratification on Aug. 25.
when Andy Lee and Melvin Grigsby
will be here and the occasion will be so
important that Chairman Saul an
nounced that the county convention
would be changed to that day.
Judge Palmer did Lot mean it when
he said that 6oo,O0o,O0 in silver had
been coined previous to 1878. He evil
IDENTIFY meant S6,OO0,0OO was the
amount. The honest gentleman like
Judge Palmer should be Emore careful
in his statement.

were not ready for any such state Of

affairs again for some time to come.
In defining money he stated that it
was merely the tool of exchange and
that it was not the quantity OF money
which made times easier but its
activity in the channels of business.
To flood this country with silver dollars
or gold dollars would not increase the
volume of circulation unless one had
something to exchange for it in the
way of product or labor. Mr.. Craw-
ford deprecated the idea of currency
abasement in vigorous language and
believed it impossible to ever realize
from it any of the great results claimed,
but on the other hand he could see that
it would produce social discord, hatred
and evil upon evil.
Mr.. Crawford claimed and proved
conclusively that the republican party
was the best friend silver ever had.
He demonstrated that silver did not re-
ceive the black eye in 1873 rs claimed
but that the republican party had fos,-
cred it 80 literally that there had actu-
ally been more silver dollars coined
since 1873 than had been produced in
in the history OF the government pre-
vious to that time. It was not the poll
cy OF the republican party to Danish
silver but to keep sufficient in circula-
tion as can be maintained at a parity
with gold.
Mr.. Crawford's address was strong
earnest appeal to the intelligence of
the people. He did not houl and rant
at this and and that, but presented his
truths in plain language, forceful at
times but convincing and honest
argument. His speech took in wide
range of thought, yet he covered the
ground in thorough manner. At the
conclusion Of his effort Mr.. Crawford
was heartily congratulated by large
number of the audience and he had the
pleasure of meeting many republicans
of this county. Quite number of peo.
pie from Mt. Vernon, Letcher and
Alexandria drove to this city to hear
Mr.. Crawford's speech. The Mckinley
club feels highly elated over the result
of the opening of the campaign il

HOW THE SITUATION LOOKS.

Reports Made Look Encouraging for Re-
publican Success This Fall
The republican outlook for success
this fall is very encouraging and the
reports made by gentlemen in posi-
tion to know are very conservative. A
special from Pierre gives the following
view of the situation:
Several of the candidates on the re-
publican state ticket who have been out
over the state the past ten days come
back with most encouraging reports of
republican success this fall. Immedi-
ately after the Chicago convention the
free silver people made 80 much noise
that everything appeared on the sur
face to be going their way, but since
they have tired of making noise the
returns are showing that the republican
loss on the silver issue is going to be
very small, and will be more than made
up by accessions from democratic ranks.
One estimate of the votes which will go
for silver from the republicans is only l
per cent, and that only on the national
ticket, these same voters standing by
the state nominees. The estimate from
the Hills country is that there will be
practically no disaffection on the silver
issue, the republicans of that section
standing by the party on thetariff issue
and allowing the silver question to GO
by default. On the legislative ticket
the campaigners are counting on re.
trieving the counties of Marshall and
Day, at least from the populist column,
if they do not get back others which
have gone against them the past three
campaigns. The different central com.
mitteemen at the state meeting at HUI
ron last week we're all enthusiastic and
their reports were all more than favor.
able, as one who was present put it
''The committee was rather too enthu
siastic, but there is no question about
success this fall" These are republi
can predictions.
At the same time the populists re
also claiming that they will not only
hold all the secured last year, but will
capture a number of counties which
were close in that campaign. They
base their estimate on the votes they
| will gain on account of state affair
which will be reinforced by the votel
of silverites. which will give them f,
majority and to spare this fall.

was profitable to the farmer, and even
up tc three years ago the price which
prevailed was not assaulted on the
ground that silver was declining in
value. Then it was the law of supply
and demand. Now the ''crime of 1873"
is made responsible for it.

AND THAT WAS BASE BALL.
Boston Boomers Didn't Bloom as base
Ballists to any Extent.

Ballists to any Extent.
The Boston Bloomers who made an
attempt to play base ball, were in town
Saturday, and were entertained by the
local club in an improvised park near
the oil tanks. Just before the game
was called the ladies made parade
down town in their bloomer costumes
which, OF course, created desire in
many to see the game. The crowd was
quite large, in fact larger than was an
ticipated. The locals went to bat first
and Frank Baughman acted in the cap
acity as umpire. The lady pitcher got
in the box, squared away and actually
threw the ball over the home plate,
just like man, but the boys showed q
little gallantry and did not strike the
ball with very much force, and some
OF the others tried to use much force
and couldn't hit a balloon. 1t was am
using to watch the lady felders. They
would stand olt in the field and when
high fly would come their way, they
stood rooted to the spot and would final
ly remember what they were there for
and then scamper away after the ball,
and it would take at least three of them
to get the ball into the diamond. The
local club went into the field and Jim
my Rogan planted his feet in the pitch
er's box to do the twirling. Jimmy
didn't know whether to throw hard or
easy and to equalize matters he divided
the swift and slow balls. The ladies'
didn't develop much better at the bat
than they did in the field. but quite fre~
quently they would get in pretty good
hit, and the locals would give them
every opportunity to get to base. Up
to the eighth inning the bloomers were
ahead three scores and in the last half
of the eighth the locals commenced
pounding the balls and for a while
boomers were scampering all over the
ground in quest of the ball. When the
inning closed the locals were one ahead,
the score being 10 to and as the
boomers failed to score in their last
inning were defeated. 1t was great
game of ball and no mistake and had
the rest of the bloomers the ability of
their pitcher, stbasswoman and second
basewoman the game would have been
more interesting. AS novelty to see
ladies play ball the affair was success
but from base ball point of view so
much cannot be said.
The bloomers went from here to Scot
land, to Yankton and Sioux City, trav>
cling in a special car.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-There is new
hope for the farmers. The year 1896

and better than the year before. The
wheat crop of the country is sure to be

any commodities in advance of the

wheat this year is likely to be about

AWFUL MINE HORROR.
Probably 100 Men Killed in a Cave
In at Pittston, Pa
The Conclusion Heard for Many Miles, and
Frightened Citizens Thought an Earth
quake Had Observation-Disclosures Men
Appalled, and Women Faint.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 29.-While
80 miners were at work in the Red Ash
vein of the Twin shaft at Pittston
about three o'clock yesterday morning,
the roof caved in and it is believed all
of the men persisted. Thirty Poland
ers and Huns were entomb bed, and it is
thought the total mum Der of odies in
the mine will reach 100. More than
two-thirds of the victims were
married men. The conclusion was
SO great that it was heard for miles
around. The foundations of nearly
every building in Pittston were shak-
en- and windows and doors ratified as
in a tornado. In the houses nearer to
the mine, persons were thrown from
their beds. The first thought was that
a great earthquake had occurred, and
to inhabitants rushed pell-mell from
their houses. The ringing Of the fire
bells and the shrieking of the big mine
whistle told the story.
Crowds of people gathered about the
mouth of the shaft and numbered
thousands by daybreak. Stalwart
men stood appalled,, and frantic wom-
en-, who had husbands or sons in the
doomed mine, waited in despair.
When it was given out that there was
little or no hope of rescuing the men
alive, women and girls tainted and
were borne away.
The rescue work was promptly be-
gun, but at two o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon it became necessary to swear
in extra policemen to control the crowd
around the mouth of the shaft. It had
increased to fully 1000 The latest re-
ports were that the situation at the ILL
fated mine was unchanged. The res
cuers were hard at work, but making
little progress. There is danger that
in hurrying the work other lives may
be lost.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Wiliiam c.
Whitney, in an interview here, strong
iy intimated that if free coinage can
didate was nominated at Chicago by
the democrats on a free coinage plat
form the New York democracy would
bolt. He said:
Practically, it will disrupt the democratic
party No power earth can coerce or per-
suade sound money democrats to forsake the
fundamental principle of democracy. They do
not regard this question as either factional,
sectional or political The maintenance OF the
national credit is a matter of national honor.
The Saratoga platform emphasizes this fact.
It says the rigid maintenance of the present
gold standard at the present time is essential
to the preservation OF our national credit, the
redemption of public pledges and the
keeping inviolate of our country's honor" that
is New Yorlzs position It is positive
words express. And it cannot be
changed.
MIR. Whitney furthermore said that
compromise is impossible"
