wanted only gold money in circula-

The speaker discussed the fall i'm
prices and contended that prices began
10 fall seven years before the demone-
tization of silver. Prices he said were
governed by supply and demand and
about war times demand was increased
and prices went up and the coinage
of silver had little or no effect upon
them.
In closing Mr.. Clark repeated the

Thousands of men are afraid of the light
ming, and yet not one man in ten thousand
is ever killed by it, Few men are afraid
of consumption, and yet it causes one-sixth
of all the deaths in the world. 1t is more
deadly than either wars or pestilences.
ANY sort of wasting disease may lead to
consumption. ANY slight disorder of the
respiratory organs may easily develop
it, Weakness of the body, emaciation,
lack of vitality are plain invitations for the
germs of consumption. Consumption is not
entirely disease of the lungs. 1t is dis
ease of the blood that shows itself most
strongly in the lungs. 1t is not-as it used
to be considered-incurable. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has changed all
that 1t will cure ninety-eight per cent. of
all cases of consumption if taken in time.
It is the most wonderful blood maker and
flesh builder iii the world. 1t cures where
doctors have failed It has brought back
to life hundreds of men and women who
were considered as good as dead.
Mrs. Nancy R. Tubb, of Amory, Monroe Co..
Miss, writes About ten years ago I suffered
an attack of nervous prostration resulting IN
other troubles which my family physician pro,
nounced consumption. We doctored with him
until we lost all hope I finally happened to find
one of DR.. Pierce's little Memorandum Books,
saw his medicine recommended and thought
would try it sent and got one bottle OF each
Golden Medical Discovery and Favorlte Pre-
scription and one bottle of Pellets. AS soon
as I began to use these medicines my health be-
gan to improve, and before had used one-half
dozen bottles felt almost strong as ever was
I am now enjoying good health again. Two
years ago had little boy who seemed to be sub
ject to phthisic (asthmal and thought would
surprise it cured him entirely; he has never had
another attack"

There are many reasons to believe
that the Jim Young and Joe Rogers
fusion in Wake county is being repn-
dated by many Populists in the coun-
ty, as well as by some Republicans,
Rev. d. p. Meaeham, who was the
Populist candidate for the Senate in
1890, is out against fusion and may
take the stump against it.
Hon. John r. Webster is quoted as
saying that Rockingham will give
Bryan and free silver from 400 to 600
majority, and that if the other coun-
ties in the district do as well as Rock
ingham, Settle will be defeated in his
race for Congress.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 27-A terrible

A sham fight and review was to take
place at Macauley point, near Esqui-
mault, and crowds We're making their
way there by every route All the tram
cars were packed. Two cars left Gov
ernmenr street with more than 100 peo-
pie ON board, The first got over Point
Ellice bridge safely, but when the other
was about half way over the middle
span of the bridge, about $50 feet in
length, gave way, and the car plunged
into the water some 100 feet below.
The car was completely submerged and
all on board were drowned, with the
exception Of some Of those who were
standing on the platform and who, es.
Gaping injury from falling timbars,
managed to save themselves by rlsing
the floating ruins of the bridge =
thus got ashore Sixty-one bodies 4
already been gotten UP and

as great many of the bodies are those
of visitors. So far as known the dead
are:
Mrs. Adams, Victoria; Frederick
Adams; K. B. Carmichael and wife, j. b.
Gordon, Vancouver, representative of
Bradstreets; Mr.. Edmonds, Victoria; Miss

When the bridge broke there were
several carriages OH it, and these were
also precipitated into the water. Super
intendent Wilson was driving one of
these and had his five children with
him. He succeeded III saving himself
and four of the children. The sad affair
has cast deep gloom over the city.
