EXTREMELY HOT
Is the Kind of Weather That Brings Op-
preston and Nervousness.

SO far the season has been very hot
and sultry. The result is II great many
cases of prostration, especially among
those who are not well. Women who
are suffering from any disease peculiar
to the sex find hot weather especially
hard to bear. Too tired to perform their
daily duties. too nervous to sleep. they
wander about discouraged and hopeless.
There is nothing in this wide world that
so quickly dispels all this sort of thing
as Pe-ru-na. Relief is immediate, and
the persistent use of the medicine leads
to permanent cure. Mrs. c. G.. Filler.

MORAL SUASION FAILED.
So the School Teacher Asserted Himself

teacher of the Pea Ridge district school
to the board of directors, Il do not be-

peals only to the brute nature, and | eX-

appeal TO the manly and womanly in
stincts of my boys and girls" says the
Detroit Free Press.
"All right, young Teller, try it on was
all the comment this speech called forth,
and the next Monday. when the new
teacher stood before his pupils for the
first time, he tried it on.
Now. my dear boys and girls he

boys and girls, but you know that it is

Young Rev. the Cornell Student. Missing
for Two Years. Will Shortly Return.

Buffalo. \. V. Aug. 24.-Thc Express
today publishes the following:
Frederick Gordon Rev, the missing
Cornell student. who disappeared two
years ago, and was supposed to have
met with foul play at Ithaca. has been
heard from. He is in one of the East
India islands. His parents in this city
yesterday received Il letter from him. In
this letter young Rev states that after
leaving Cornell he went to New York,
engaged passage on Il cattle ship, and
worked his way to Bordeaux. France.
At that place he secured employment
with an electric firm that was about to
erect an electric plant in Central
America. He sailed for Honduras in
the early part of 1895. visiting Jamaica.
Martinique and Cuba, and then returned
to France. where he contracted to look
after the electric machinery of a tramp
trading ship bound for the East Indies.
The vessel is due at Southampton in the
latter part of this month, and Rev
states that he will leave the ship and re-
turn home Mt once. He has not seen
an American paper since his departure.
and did not know that search was
being made for him.

ENTHUSIASTIC DELEGATION

Is That From Cameron. and They Want
Hard. Sound Money,
Waco, Tex, Aug. 25.-(Special)-On
of the most enthusiasticnde delegations here
in attendance upon the convention is the
one from Cameron, headed by Col. Hef-
ley, Il prominent and influential banker
from that city.
Col. Hefley says that his city and the
country surrounding il are for the honest
money policy, and will make ? die-in-the-
last ditch fight for it. That Ill the bust
ness men of Cameron are for sound
money, first, last and all the time That
they believe it to be the only salvation
for the business interests of this country,
and that if their personal and combined
efforts can bring about victory for sound
money they will never be found tagging.
The colonel is himself an enthusiast on
the subject of good, hard money with
II yellow complexion, and some backing
to it. He says that he does not stand
alone in his country, and from the en-
thusiasm displayed by his delegation, it
looks as though he speaks truly Among
the more prominent of Camerons large
delegation are to be noted: w. ". Hef-
ley, u. l.. Antony, DIR. NJ. X. Satt, II.
II. Hunter, j. S. Hefley, x. ID. Brown,

ITEMS OF INTEREST FOUND IN
THE STATE HOUSE YES
TERDAY.
THE STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
Increases and Decreases in Taxable Val
ues in the Various Counties-School
Board Bond Purchase and Other
Notes of Interest

The state board of education yesterday
county court house bonds for the per-
manent school fund.
The state department of education is
sued the following:
Austin Texas, August %, 1896.
To County and City Superintendents-
The state board of education at recent
meeting made an apportionment of four
dollars (S400) per capita of the schol-
astic population for the support of the
public schools for the year beginning
September /, 1896.
This communication is sent merely as
q matter of information. 1t is not the
official certificate upon which the county
apportionment is to be based The Of
fetal certificates are in operation and
will be mailed in few days, TO treasur-
ers. Each county treasurer will, as soon
as he receives the official certificate re-
port the amount to the county superin-
tendent, who will then make the appor-
tionment.
In this connection, | wish once more
to call attention to the paramount i'm
portance of careful and economical
management of school expenditures.
With an apportionment Of $4OO per
capita from the state. it is believed that
the school term ought to be consider
ably heightened. / hope that every coun-
ty and city superintendent and every
board of trustees will make 4 special eff
fort to extend the school term by cut
ting off every expense that is not indis-
pensable and by exercising rigid economy
in making such contracts as are abso-
lutely necessary. The constitution de-
mands Il school term of six months, and
l trust every reasonable means will be
used to meet this constitutional demand.
Argument in favor of increasing the
school term seems unnecessary. Every
one must recognize the importance of it,
and | hope that a special and persistent
effort will be made along this line
throughout the entire state. Let us
have a school term of six months for the
next school year, if it is possible to
reach it.
1t is my purpose to ask county and
city superintendent to report about Dc
tober 10th, and average term for which
contracts will at that time have been
made / trust that data for this report
will be kept in convenient form, so that
it can be made easily and promptly,
when it is requested. Most respectfully,
J. NJ. CARLISLE.
State Superintendent.

REPRESENTATIVES, CITIZENS

Waco Tex, Aug. 25.-(Special.) THE
crowd in attendance upon today's conven-
ton was n representative one in every re-
spect. Every branch of profession, from
the filler of the soil to the bankers, was to
be seen with able representation. These
are all able men, able of mind and able of
body. They are not politicians by profess
sion or inclination. They are not here
seeking Office, nor have they any desire
to work anybody, to pull their chestnuts
from the fire. In talking with them /
can not fail to note that they are here
for the sole purpose of adding their as
sistance to the battle now being waged for
good government and good money. They
are here to try to compass the defeat of
Bryan and fiat money and Culberson and
ring rule They are united in this mat
ter and have adopted the means they
think most advisable to compass that
end. That they will be successful in No
yember is self evident.

CHAIRMAN HARDY FACED 1900 DEMOCRATS
When He Called the Convention to Or

sound money convention was raped to
order this morning by Chairman Hardy,
who faced some 1900 democrats who had
assembled from all sections of the state
to participate in convention whose de-
liberations were to save the party integri-
ty and the honor of the state. The hall
in the court house. in which the conven-
ton was held viii seat 500. and it was
packed all day with delegates and sight
seers.
The deliberations of the convention
were marked with the utmost harmony
and wise and beneficial proceedings. The
leaders who, in response to requests. re-
viewed the political situation of the day.
did so with rare ability and unanswerable
eXpostions of facts and figures.
As forecasted in my dispatches of yes
terday, the convention put out no state
ticket. 1t selected an indianapolis dele
CATION. which goes without letters. and
put out an electoral ticket. An electoral
ticket was put out ut the Austin conven-
ton in June, but there were some vacan-
cics in the congressional districts. All
vacancies were filled tonight and the
ticket is now completed.
The platform as adopted tonight is Il
strong democratic document. cnuncating
democratic principles, and condemns in
unmeasured condemnatory tone all
anarchism and ring rule. 1t declares for
good money and against governmental
banking. 1t cXcoriates the Fort Worth
convention and says that no democrat is
bound by the actions of that convention.
1t is an able document, concise in its
utterances, yet perfect in its true demo-
cratic principles.
No action was taken by the conven-
ton in the matter of getting out congress
siOnal tickets. though each congressional
committee is vested with plenary powers.
While the convention moved smoothly
at all times, patriotism and loyalty to
leaders caused some amusement in the
of delegates at large to the In
danapolis convention.
The convention desired Chairman
Hardy to go as a delegate, but for bust
ness reasons he declined. The names of
+. G.. Clark. Giddings, Crawford and
Hardy were all up for consideration.
when friends of each wanted his election
separate as Il mark of appreciation of his
zeal ond worthincss. Each candidate
was claimed to be most worthy of such
honor, and the matter was only settled
after Mr.. Hardy had refused to serve.
and the other four were selected in
bunch.
Clark and Hardy were both rendered
vociferous ovations by the enthusiastic
crowd. and the welkin fairly rang with
cheers.
The convention concluded its labors to-
night. and now the leaders will go forth
into the field to fight in the interest of
their policy, and from what hear among
them tonight they have no fear but what
hey will win their battle against the
forces confronting them.
