Ex-Gov Campbell, of Ohio, who
has been in Washington for several
days, puts positive end to talk
about his being the Presidential
candidate by declaring that he will
under no consideration allow his
name to go before the Chicago oon-
vention. He says; "Every man
who goes to the convention as a
delegate should 90 pledged to sup
port the candidate and accept the
platform of that convention. No
matter who may be named to make
the canvas, no matter what the
platform may contain, they should
be accepted; and the only hope of
party continuation lies in their ac-
ceptance. A delegate who goes
to Chicago with the intention to
stay if the majority agree with him
and accept his platform, whether
on finance, tariff or what else, who
means to bolt if his notion of men
and measures are voted down, is
traitor in advance. He has no bus
mess in the convention. He should
stay at home"
The Ex-Governor sadly mistakes
the tempor and intelligence of the
masses of the people if he presume 8
TO think they will accept any dose
that may be concocted for them.

Advices from the Transvaal
show the work of preparing for
war is being continued there night
and day. Gangs of men relieve
each other at intervals in the work
upon armed forts designed to pro-
tect Pretoria, plates for which
have been furnished by the Oreusot
works and guns by the great Krupp
firm of Germany. The drilling of
artille4ymen under German officers
goes on openly every day. There
Is no longer any concealment ih the
preparations being made. A for
eign legion composed almost en-
tlrely of Germans. who have re-
Gently entered the Transvaal, is
organized. This force will be
mostly infantry and artillery, the
Beers being relied upon to furnish
ell cavalry.

A Wyoming man has invented a
new corn planter that is all right.
his contrivance consists of box
attached to each foreleg of a horse
just above the fetlook and filled
with ,orn. A cord passes oyer a
pulley connected with the saddle
and again down to the hind legs so
that at every step tha lid of the
box is lifted and the corn drops out
into the hole made by the fore feet
while the geuiaqs planter rides at
bis ease.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: II
have no hesitation in recommending
DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of nv wife. While was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with pneumonia
succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroX-
ysms of coughing would last hours with
little interruption and it seemed as II
she could not survive them. A friend
recommended DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry it was quick in its work and high
ly satisfactory in results"

GETTING READY FOR HEAVEN

GETTING READY FOR HEAVEN
Two students at the University of Cali
fornia, George Payzant and Webster
Parkhurst, last week dropped their
books, secured leaves Of absence and
announced that they would devote all
their time to getting ready for the mil
lennium, which they think is near at
hand. They both come of good fami-
lies, but their parents appear to have
no influence over them. There new
zeal is due to revival preaching. Park
hurst has been noted athlete, but he
has abandoned the baseball field and
the path, and he says all athletics are
ungodly.

.O THE OWNERS OF DOGS.
MAYORS OFFICE.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 2S, 1896.
All persons owning or i tending TO keep
any animal of the dog or canine species must
come forward on or before JUNE 11TH,
1896, and take out license for the same
from the Auditor. After the 11th of June
all persons owning or harboring dogs found
on his, her or their premises without the re-
guired license will be fined (as the laws on
the subject require) So for every dog so own.
ed or harbored.
Complaint has been frequently made that
many persons fail to take out their licenses,
and that 9th rs pay on one or two dogs when
owning and harboring more or sending them
away during the summer months and bringing
them back in the fall.
My attention has been cal! ed to this evasion
of the law, with the request to prevent it by
requiring the policemen to report all such
cases, and fine those who fail to take out
license
The Mayor hopes the police officers will not
be required TO report any one, as the law will
be enforced
L. H. THOMPSON, Mayor.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

The Chicago Colosseum, in which the
democratic convention is to be held,
the largest exhibition building in the
world, has just been formally opened.
The building is 727 feet long by 800
feet wide. The heighth of the build
ing inside is 100 feet. The outer walls
are forty seven feet high. The roof is
built in terraces to the height of los
feet. The roof is supported by twelve
steel trusses, constructed upon the same
principle as the great trusses or arches
which upheld the roof of the Manufac-
turers Building at the Worlds Fair.
These trusses or arches are $50 feet in
width. The interior length of the build
ing, exclusive of the vestibule, is &c
feet.
There are two permanent galleries in
the building; the first one, which is
called the balcony, is twenty-five feet
above the main floor aud is forty feet
wide, and runs all around the building.
The second one is forty feet above the
main floor and is twelve feet wide. The
total floor space inside the building is
2S5, 900 square feet.
as arrau ged for performance which
will inaugurate the building on next
Monday, the arena is 600 feet long by
100 feet wide. AS a city block is 400 feet
ia length, some idea of the length of
his arena may be imagined. The inte
rior of the building may be arranged to
accommodate any size audience, from
1000 to $4,000 persons. One very i'm
portant feature of the construction of
this building is that the weight OF the
seats and the audience upon the main
floor of the building comes directly
upon the ground, and does not'place the
strain of one pound on the structure it
self.
The system OF lighting employed in
the building is almost entirely new
| one, and will be used for the first time
in this building. 1t comprises 100 elec.
trio arc lights, each being reinforced
by powerful reflector, and produces
the most brilliant illumination proba-
bly, ever given the interior of any build
ing.
The historic Colosseum in Rome, COW
ering nearly five acres, was in the form
of an elipse, its longest diameter Gl5
feet, its shortest 510 1t is estimated it
had a seating capacity of 81, 900 specta-
tors. The exterior walls of the edifice
consisted of four stories of three differ
ent orders of architecture, Doric, Ionic
and Corinthian. The arena within was
2Sl feet in length and 176 feet in
| breadth.
