Arguments of Bryan and Atgetd Are
Torn to Shreds.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 12.-Between 600C
and 1000 people tonight heard Bourke
Cochran at the Coliseum, when he replied
to the speech recently delivered by Gov
ernor Altgeld in which the Illinois execu-
tive answered the arguments advanced by
Carl Schurz and Mr.. Cochran.
The speaker was in excellent voice and
was heartily cheered when he stepped on
the platform. After the audience had
sung America" the New York orator
said:
lam at the outset confronted with the diff.
Guilty which always besets me when study q
Populistic production. am always at loss
to know just what the Popullst means and Of
the injuries from which he is supposed to be
suffering. The difference between a Populis
and a Democrat is This, and might add be
tween a Popullst and d sensible man: A
sensible man first makes sure of his facts anC
then proceeds to talk on them. The Populis
begins to talk, continues to talk, aud never
takes any pains to ascertain the facts abou
which he is talking
If there can be any reason for this Popu
listic propaganda whatever which is now
Bryan aud Altgeld, it must be that somebody
is to be benefited at the expense of somebody
else.
While at Wheeling last Thursday, the
same day that Mr.. Bryan was there, ne
said he left behind him question which
would test the val lie of his theories. II
was this: ''How can you propose to raise
the price of commodities and benefit the
workingmen if you don't make provision
to increase his wages?" Mr.. Bryan's
answer, said Mr.. Cochran, was: "Those
who are propouncing these questions are
the agents OF trusts and syndicates and
generally disre putable persons"
In speaking on the distress and financial
condition now existing, he said: 81 say

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE fol-
lowing statement was given out at Ma
tional Republican headquarters to-day
after conference of the entire National
executive committee:
"The election of Mckinley and Hobart
is an accomplished and assured facr. They
will receive 270 electoral votes. Bryan
will receive Ito, and there are six States
having s1xty-seven electoral votes which
are doubtful, but the probabilities all
point to the fact that these sixty
seven votes will go into the Repub-
ican column and be added to the 27O
now assured for Mckinley and Hobar t.
This is the status to-day. We have the

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 12.-Shpreme
Court Justice Clement in Brooklyn this
morning decided that the name "National
Democratic party" was substantially the
same under the election law as "Demo-
cratic party" Justice Clement directed
all parties interested to enter formal or
der and go before the appellate divis ion
as soon as possible to try to have his de-
cision reviewed by that division.
Justice Clements decision practically
nullifies the decision of Secretary of State
Palmer on Saturday, in which he allows
the Slate candidates of the so-called Ma

on the official ballot.

How to Prevent Group

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE IN
TEREsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to yt ung mothers
and to post them concerning the
cause, first SYMPTOMS and treatment is
the object of this item. The origin
of Group is common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recognize
ed and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act is
when the child first becomes hoarse.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
freely given all tendency to Group will
soon disappear. Even after the croupy
ugh has dev,b ped it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains

Value Of Determination.

Determination has quite as much as
means or opportunity to do with giving
one success. If man is determined
t. DO, he will be likely to do, whether
things favor or oppose him. If a man
makes up his mind that, as things are
ne cannot do what he ought TO or
would like to he will not be likely to
accomplish anything however circum-
stances combine to help him. "Only
Omnlpotence can hinder the determin-
ID man," and Omnipotence will not
oppose determined man who is set
in the right direction. 1t is not the
opportunity that man has or the
tools that are available to him. but If
Is the determination with which he
pushes on against unfavorable circum-
stances, and with which he uses such
tools as are available, that settles the
question of how much he amounts to
and what he accomplishes in life

The month was one of very uniform

The maximum occurred on the LIST al
most stations, although some had it on
the 10th, 18th, or 18th, which were
nearly as warm as the maximum at all
stations. The minimum occurred on
various dates in the Eastern section,
but on the Goth or 9th at most
stations.
The day of greatest rainfall was
generally the 30th; 1893 inches fell at
Fort Candy on that date. A great
deal of fog prevailed in the coast
REGION. High winds occurred on the
3Oth. Frosts were frequent in the
eastern section, but there was very little
frost in the Western Section, and roses
bloomed out of doors during the month
AS whole, the month was fine one.

LAID BY THE TABLED ROC,
Important Discovery in Madagascar of tn
Egg of the Extinct Gigantic Bird

Important Discovery in Madagascar of the
Egg of the Extinct Gigantic Bird.
A large specimen of the egg Of the
tabled roc of the ARABIAN Nights or
Epyornis, as the extinct gigantic bird
OF Madagascar is called, has been Sc
cured by Mr.. j. Proctor, of Tamatave
and Princes square, W.. who has
brought the curiosity to London. It
was discover ed by some natives about
twenty miles to the southwark of St.
Augustine's bay. on the southwest
coast of NADIA gascar. It was floating
on the calm sea, within twenty yards
OF the beach, and is supposed to have
been washed away with the foreshore,
which consists of sand hills, after a
hurricane in the early part of the year.
The childlike longshoreman of the
antipodes, opining that the egg had
value, showed the unusual piece of
dotSam about with a view to sale, and
it thus came into the hands of Mr..
Proctor. The egg, which is Whitley
brown in color and unbroken, is fine
specimen, 33%x2S inches, and an even
higher value is placed upon it than
upon the egg of the great AJAX, which
lived within the memory of man. The
Brobtaignagian proportions of the egg
are better demonstrated by compar-
ison with the eggs of the ostrich and
crocodile. An ostrich's egg is about II
inch es by Is inches, and the contents of
SIX such are only equal to one egg of
the Epyornis. The measurements of
the egg Of the crocodile ora porrno1l,,
91nches by 615 inches. 1t would re-
q'iire the contents of l615 emu's eggs
to equal the contents of this great egg.
or l4S eggs of the homely fowl. or So
600 of the hrlmming bird. The last egg
OF the kind disposed of in London sold
Tor 91O0, though cracked.
