There have been some queer revelations
in North western Ohio of the efforts of Marx
Hanna to induce the middle-of-the-road
Populists to nominate candidates SO as to
endanger the chances of Democratic legis
lative candidates In Putnam county, poll
ing 700 Populist votes, the evidence of a
contract has been produced, showing that a
certain Populist leader, in consideration OF
5000 paid down and 5000 to be paid the
last of September, entered into an agree
ment to aid the Republican party directly
or indirectly, the price being the sums
named and sail expenses" This is the
Republican game in Ohio. 1t will be re-
called that evid ence was produced at the
Pnpulist State Convention of money hav-

Bryan on Wealth. .

The features Of the Labor Day celebra.
ton in st. Louis was an address by VIM. ]
BRYAN at Concordia Park. The largest
crowd ever seen there greeted the speaker
His speech throughout was enthusiastically
applauded. Previous to the meeting Mr.
Bryan reviewed parade of $4,000 laborine
men. He spoke in part as follows.
'sIn pamphlet written by distinguish
ed New York banker find the assertion
that the prosperity of the farmers and
laborers depends upon the prosperity OF the
business man. So long as one entertain.
such an idea he is certain to entertain
erroneous views upon social and political
questions. All of the literary, professional
and commercial classes will find, upon in
yestioation, that they rest upon those
whose brain and muscle convert the
natural sources of the country into material
wealth. Not only must any real prosperity
begin with those that toll, but the nations
progress toward the higher civilization
inust be measured by the producing
classes. Under every form of government
it has been possible to point to few per
aims nossessed of means and refinement
but it is the average progress, not the pro
press of the teW, that must be considered
The improvement to be hoped Tor must
come from efforts outside of politics
Mental discipline, moral training, habits o.
industry and economy all have their part
in improving the general condition OF cui
people, and yet the influence OF Legislation
must not be overlooked. A form OF govern
ment like ours makes it possible tor ths
people to have such legislation as they De
sire. but even then it is possible for few
nersons to overreach the people as whole
The welfare of the people must be sought
not 10 the securing of special privileges e
themselves but in the denying Of specia
privileges to any one I"

Sick poison is poison which makes you
sick. 1t comes from the stomach. The
stomach makes it out of undigested food
The blood gets it and taints the whole
body with it. That's the way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look after
your digestion.
If your food is all properly digested
there will be none left in the stomach to
make sick-poison out Of
If your stomach is too weak to see to
this properly by itself, help it along with q
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial
That's the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a delicious
healthful, tonic cordial, made of pure
medicinal plants, herbs and wine.
1t positively cures indigestion and pre-
vents the formation of sick poison.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The supreme
council of the American Federation OF
Labor issues an address advising
unions not to be represented at the
proposed labor convention in Chicago
next Monday, but to use the money II
would cost to send delegates to aid the
suffering miners. The address says:
Conditions have somewhat changed
since that convention was agreed upon
Fully $4,000 miners have gone to work
on terms fixed jointly by the miners
and operators. 1t is the greatest VIC
tory gained by trades unions in years
1t was won against the combined power

STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS
Tuesdays sharp Reaction Followed

tuesdays Sharp Reaction Followed
by a Recovery in Prices.
New York, Sept. 22.-The result of to-
days transactions on the Stock Exchange
is the recovery of the greater part OF
the losses sustained in yesterdays sharp
reaction, many stocks closing tonight
higher than Monday night. During the
early part of the day the market was ex-
tremely irregular and uncertain in tone,
a number of the specialties continuing to
show marked weakness even after the
railroad list had recovered from its re-
dictionary tendency. But by the second
hour of trading the bears had practically
abandoned their efforts to work a reac-
ton, and the whole market was tending
slowly upward, and the close was firm.
