IN MEMORIAM.

SELBY-In loving remembrance of our
dear son, u. K. W Selby, who departed
this life one year ago today.
Thy dainty feet are idly crossed, in dimpled
rose-fluShed whitencss;
Thy silken hair is baCkw ard tossed, in
waves OF shining brightness.
Thy rosy cheeks on pillows pressed, in
Childhood's sweet, delicious rest.
May life to You. our baby dear, be full Of
love ana pleasure;
And earnest work that give US here a
foretaste of thy treasure,
Which you. God grant, in heaven may
store, to deck our crowns for ever
more.
In slumbers sweet our baby lies; closed,
yes. those laughing eyes.
BY his loving parents, X. W. and NJ Z.
SELBY. 1t

SPOKE IN THE RAIN AT FRANKFORT.
Frankfort, KY. - Mr.. Bryan's first
speech to-day was made from the plat
form Of a car at La Grange. He said that
he had found ont that his visit was un-
necessary, as the sitss sentiment pre-
dominated before his coming. He was
applauded wildly by all the people pres
ent.
After leaving La Grange, the train ran
sixty miles an hour. At Eminence it
was raining but the citizens OF Henry
county hocked about the speakers stand.
He gave ten minutes speech devoted
principally to answering the statement OF
his opponents that, in consequence OF
the greater production Of silver than OF
gold, the white metal had deprecated
and would deprecate.
In his speech her, Mr.. Bryan empha-
sized his statement of last night that
those who did not believe in the free
coinage of silver Dem ocrats or Republi-
cans) should vote the straight Republi-
can ticket.

his speech of fifteen minutes, but his au-
dience asked him to 60 on.

the ten acres accomm odating forty fami-
lies. This Will be ample to provide for
all natives ever in the vicinity of Eddy.
They are especially valuable as beet thin
ners and workers generally when labor is
needed on the farms, and the move to de-

tions of saloons is a good one. Father

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 15.-Major McKin-
ley received the following telegram from
Augusta, Me-, this morning: ~ offer you
my heartiest congratulations. This is
your triumph. The Republican party
has achieved the most sweeping and
magnificent victory ever accorded. to
any party in the history of Maine. We
have carried every county in the state,
elected every state senator, and at least
140 out of the 1855 members of the house
of representatives; secured every county
official; given each member of the mag
nificent delegation to tho national house
OF representatives the largest msjorities
ever recorded; elected our candidate for
governor by the greatest majority ever
given to candidate for that high office;
Endorsed the st. Louis platform and de-
clared for Mckinley and Hobart by 5O,-
600.
"The Republican vote exceeds BY several
thousand the largest Republican vote
heretofore given and the vote for the
Democratic candidate for governor 10 tho
smallest ever cast with one exception, the
vote of 1894, which was only 5000 less.
We have kept pace with Vermont and
proved to the country that the Demo-
cratic platform adopted at Chicago will
not prevail when met by argument and
reason. We have been aided in this great
contest BY many Democrats, who placed
country above party and who believe that
You can not divide the people into parties

tory with Us. What more could Maine
have done for the cause Of good govern.
