The fact that Democratic papers
everywhere are opening their mud bat.

consider him as good as nominated and
are opening the campaign early. Nc
Kinley will throw the Democratic

The rig at the Beatty and Kelly we'll
near Stillwell was burned yesterday
afternoon, entailing a loss of $500.
This we'll is on the King farm and was
drilled in last fall. 1t was a small pro-
ducer, and was pumped once or twice
a week, but the quantity of oil was not
sufficient to pay for the trouble. 1t
was decided to pull the casing and this
work was begun yesterday. The work
had proceeded only short time when
there was a big flow of oil and gas, the
oil being sprayed to the top of the der
rick. The gas ignited and those work
ing about the well had very narrow
escape from being burned. Several
were pretty badly scorched and Mr..
Bickel lost his coat, vest ana gold
watch, which were burned up in the
derrick. Sc ntinel

CONVICT LABOR.
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright M.ks.
 Report on the Subiect

missioner Carroll D. Wright Makes .
 Report on the Subject.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Commission or of Labor Carroll D. Wright issued a bulletin yesterday which contains some interesting statistics and general information about convict labor in the united States. The total number of convicts in penal institutions in the various states in 1885 was 4l,ss7. Tn lesa the number rose to 54,2A4. Of tbe number imprisoned in 1885, q .9s7 were females. The number of females i'm . prisoned in 1895 was l,9ss, an increas se or only 2l. In 1885 the number en. gagged in productive labor was 80, s53, oeing 7a per cent of the total mum Der oi convicts at that time, while in 1895 the number engaged in productive la. DOT was 3S,415, or 70 per cent. of the total number of convicts.
 The total value of goods produced or work done in the United States for the various states and territories, in all the state prisons and penitentiaries, for 1855 was $i9,04a,472.33. This sum rep. resents the value of the goods after the materials have been manipulated oy the convicts. It does not represent the value which has been added to them, but represents the value of the materials on which work has been be- slowed and the work itself.
 In 1885 the total wages paid by con. tractors and lessees to the states and counties for the labor of convicts from which resulted g. product of the value of Sss, 753,999 was only ss.5l2. .97O, or s1 of convict labor to SSl9 of finished product of convict labor. There is reason to believe that the ratio at the present time is less than that for 1885. At the present time in all probability the total value of the labor expended by the convicts in the state peniten. tiaries and prisons of the country does not exceed $2, 800, ,OOO.

WATSON ATTACKS sEwALL.
Populist Vice Presidential No ominee Out

Populist Vice Presidential Nominee Out
 with Another Statement.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. l9-Thomas E Watson, the populist vice presidential nominee, is out with another state- ment. In his comments on Mir. Bryan's New York speech and the conduct of the campaign in general, Mir. Watson says: l#
 To expect to defeat Mckinley without saying word against Mckinley is something new under the sun. but Mr. Bryan's silence was proper and necessary. He could not afford to denounce protection while Mr. Sewall. his rum nlng mate is so we'll known as a protectionist MT. Sewall is even now acting in league with the republicans to secure legislation which will levy tribute upon every American consumer of foreign goods in the selfish interest of the New England shipbuilders. of whom he is one, and just as MI Sewall's presence on the ticket prevented Mir. Bryan from assailing national banks of issue and the republican doctrine of protection, so the same baneful influence pre- vented him from denouncing railroad monop- oly and extortion, Mr. Sewall being corpora tionist Of lusty proportions himself. In fact, it seems the mission of Mir. Sewall in the cam paign to act as contradiction to Mir Bryan and the Chicago platform. For instance, Mir. Bryan said In one of his speeches the other day that if he should be elected the people who elect him would not be found asking favors of the government We had not quite finished clapping our hands over this statement before it was made clear to us that the men who are backing the ticket in New England will de- mand that tho government levy fine upon every citizen who dares to buy foreign goods which are not brought to this country in the ships of Mir Sewall and his republican col- leagues Mir Sewall's presence on the ticket was meant to say to the privileged classes of the north and east: Don't get scared of Bryan's speeches. will see to 1t that the present state of things is not disturbed" In other words. Sewall is the soothing srup of the cam. paign for the monopoists. and he is relied upon to keep the northern and eastern dem- ocrats from wailing too much under the inf1ic- tion of Bryan's populistic procivities

 NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The cause of sunstroke has been definitely discov. cred, according to the claims of officers ot the state patholo rical institute. They have made investigations which show that, instead of the suns rays being the direct cause of sunstroke, as has all along been believed by the medical profession, the internal chemistry of the body and its secre. tions are so modified by atmospheric conditions of excessive hot weather that these secretions become abnormal, either in quality or quantity, and are absorbed by the blood and act as viru- lent poisons
