Inches high, and according to the
theory of gas men, Winfield is over a
mine of wealth. The theory is that
the gas strata floats downward toward
the northwest at about the rate of
twenty feet per mile. This would
make the Sedan strata about $500
feet below Us. The Grouse creek well
Is shallow and was sunk for water.
This is conclusive evidence that
there is gas this side of the Flint

Adolph Sutro, the erratic mayor Of

months past by the bombastic organ Of
free silver in that town as a "staunch
Bryan man" So used had the country
become to the mayors little peculiari-
ties that no one took the trouble TO
investigate his standing. and the claim
has been generally accepted as true.
On last Friday. however, the Bulletin

he supports the Bryan platform, and

Money is in the hands Of one nation

policy. Money a TO circulate between
the different countries Of the world,
and without international agreement
one country profits at the expense Of
another, and there is a general disturb
ance OF values. . 1t makes no

Germs the whole world. The prosperity
Of the world depends upon it. Money

affected by the commercial relations Of
all commercial countries, and must be
settled by international agreement. 1t
has been proved that bimetalllsm Is the

heralded by Senator Jones as a great
popocrat victory, turns out to be a

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-

feeling prevails, when the liver Is torpid
and sluggish and the need Of a tonic n
alternative is felt. A prompt use Of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
