DAN W. JONES IN KENTUCKY.
Such Speech Never Heard at Prince
tOn-State Safe for Bryan.

Princeton, Ky, Oct 9.-(Special)
Gov. Dan w. Jones of Arkansas,
Congressional Nominee Hon. C. K.
Wheeler OF Paducah, and Ollie NJ.
James of Marion, Ky, all spoke to
an audience of $500 people in this
city today.
By 8 o'clock large squads Of men
commenced coming into town on
horseback. They formed a process
sion and marched to the depot to
meet the gentlemen, escorting
them to the hotel. Afterward a
procession was formed, headed by
the Dean band of Paducab, and
marched through the principal
streets of the town. 1t was the
largest demonstration and process
sion that has ever been held in this
county by any political party, and
such enthusiasm among Democrats
was never known before.
Hon. Ollie James spoke in the
forenoon, causing great enthusiasm.
Gov. Jones followed immediately af-
ter dinner IN speech of two hours,
which was claimed by the Oldest in
habitants to be the strongest, most
logical speech ever heard in these
parts. At the conclusion of his
speech the ladies presented hun
with at least a cart load of bou-
quetS. He was followed by Hon.
Charles Wheeler in d short speech,
in which he pressed upon all Demo
crats to 90 to the polls on Novem.
Der 3, which means landslide to
the Democratic party. He also
read a letter from Senator Deboe,
a Republican, who had promised to
meet him here in joint debate on
Monday next, in which Deboe had
changed the date agreed upon to
another, knowing that Wheeler
was billed for a speech on that date
at another place, which was but a
sly way of sneaking out. The Re-
publiCans are on the run. Ken"
lucky will 90 $4,000 for Bryan.

struggle
Arkansas makes the thifueth
state in which fusion has been made
between Democrats and PopuIsts,
and this means compact white
vote against Republicanism, and
will insure a soldid South and an

SOME LOOKED FOR SPEECHES.

Texarkana, thanks to Mayor Har-
din, who, as chairman Of the Bowie
county Democracy, has invited, and
received favorable answers from the
following leading men Of Texas,
who will make addresses here on
dates named below:
Attorney General NJ, NJ. Crane,
Oct. 18th; Governor Chas. Culber-
son, Oct. 18th; Congressman D. B.
Culberson, and Senator Horace
Chiffon, Oct Dist; Comptroller R.
W. Finley, Oct 22nd. These gen
tlemen are all good speakers, and it
will be rare treat to our city to
be visited by them. We should
turn out and give them a fitting re-
ception,
When a man owns 4 bloOded
horse he is always careful of its
health. He looks after its diet and
is particular that its feeding shall
be regular and right. While he is
doing this it is likely as not that he
is himself suffering from some dis
ease or disorder. When the trouble
gets so bad that be cannot work,
he will begin to give himself the
care he gave the horse at the start,
Good, pure, rich, re1 blood is the
best insurance against disease of
any kind Almost all diseases come
from impure or impoverished blood
Keep the blood pure and strong
and disease can find no foothold
That is the principle on which DR.,
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
works. 1t cleanses, purities and en-.
riches the blood, puts and keeps the
whole body in perfect order; makes
appetite good digestion strong, as.
5imilation perfect, 1t brings rud-
ly, perfect health. 1t builds up sol
id, wholesome flesh (not fat), when,
from any cause, reduced below the
healthy standard.

India's Hoard of Specie.

For long period of years India has
been characterized as "sink hole" of
the precious metals, or in other words,
there has been for many years con-
tinuous flow of the precious metals
gold and silver-into India-wheret they
have to a large extent disappeared, un-
doubtedly by burial under ground for
the purpose of boarding and conceal
ment, says writer in Popular Science.
The motive for this under the mogul
and native rulers was unquestionably
to escape direct plumber or confisca-
ton; but under British rule these
boards, amounting unquestionably to
many hundreds Of millions, are not
taxed, mainly by reason of their mac
feasibility and partly by the recognized
policy of the government to avoid di-
rect taxation of active capital, and en-
courage by making safe its employ

Gambling.

Amongst the Hindoos throughout the
whole of India there is a holiday cele-
brated in honor of Lakshmi, the god
dess of wealth and good fortune, where
on gambling is universally regarded as
religious duty. It is known as the
festival of lamps, and on that day all
classes indulge in games of chance
with shells, coins, cards, dice, etc., and
the future of the individual, whether
good or bad, is looked upon as fore
cast of his wealth or poverty during
the ensuing year. The women take
a most intense interest in the proceed
ings, and, If fortunate, expend their
winnings in the purchase of sweet
meats and fruits, as gifts to all their
friends and relations, toys for the
small children and fireworks for the
boys. At Benares, their sacred city,
as night approaches, small earthen
lamps, fed with oil, are kindled, MAX
ing the outlines of every mansion, pal
ace, temple and minaret visible. All
vessels in the river are also illumin-
ated, so that the whole city is one
blaze Of light

Laughable Use of "Again."

The little word "again" once threw a
large assembly into fits of laughter. It
was at a public meeting in New
York. One of the speakers, Rev. Mr..
r., had the misfortune, when he tried
to take a seat, to miss his chair and
come down at full length on the plat
form. The accident occas.ored not a
little subdued mirth. When at last it
came his turn to speak, the presiding
officer introduced him in these words:
"The Rev. Mr.. r. will again take the
floor" The reverend gentleman never
met with so enthusiastic reception as
greeted this announcement.-Arg

ment the renuency OF rnese Ua-1ru
treasures to come to light and enter
into the channels of trade. And that
this policy has been a wise one is
shown by the fact that within recent
years there has been an increasing dis
position on the part of the Indian own
ers of concealed treasures especially
the Indian princes or rajahs-to with
draw from their boarding places and
invest them in government bonds or
other desirable Understanding Sc
cGrities, and in this way very great
addition to the worlds active stock of
money metals may be anticipated in

sWINDLER SOLD REAL ESTATE.

He Built Toy Houses and Then Showed
a Photograph of the Town.
Here is the real estate mans story:
"Talk about swindles; the best one
ever came across was down in the
state at town called Bingham, or
something like that. The town isn't
any good, and never will be, but, just
the same, a fellow has been selling
subdivision lots Then at one corner
of the tract he built up a toy residence
addition to the town. He laid out
little roadway about two feet wide, and
stuck up little trees along each side Of
it. On this road he put up some
houses, each one foot high. He put in
a factory building that was nearly
three feet high, and laid water pipes
about the size of pipe stems. He had
the whole thing photographed, and
after the photographer had touched up
the picture it indicated beautiful
drive way at least so feet wide, with
big houses on either side of it. He
took these photographs with him and
he went on the road to sell the lots.
He would say, Now, here is a picture
of one corner of the subdivision. |
have already built twenty houses out
there. We have water pipes laid and
the street is graveled. Your lot is less
than 900 feet from the corner of the
factory building here You see, he
wanted to protect himself in case he
was arrested for fraud. The photo
graph was genuine, and 1t was true, as
he said, that water pipes were laid and
houses built Of course, he did not
take the trouble to explain that the
houses were no larger than bird cages,
and the street not much wider than a
plow furrow. Well, he traded four Of
these lots to farmer for drove of
young cattle. When the farmer went
over to look at the lots he was the
maddest man on earth. He had the
real estate man arrested for perpetrat-
ing fraud, and l believe they're fight
ing 1t out now. The man who sold
the lots insists that he told the truth,
and backed up his statements with
photograph. Chicago Record.
