the manager Of Mckinley, George Cox's
prototype in national politics. In bis
clear, compreh ensive way Mr.. Cofiey
stated the facts in regard to the circum-
stances which have led to the deplorable
state of affairs in Hamilton county. "a
band of men who owe allegience to
neither political party organized them
selves for spoils." They have no political
principles, they advocate certain party
simply because it is to their interests to
do so. 1T was so before the nonpartisan
charter was passed and became worse
after the passage of that piece Of legisla-
ton, for then band of men from both
parties got together to loot the tax
payer. 1t is this band that we must de-
feat, and it behooves all honest men of
all political faiths to march under one
banner until the mountebanks are ex.
terminated"
A set of strong resolutions were passed
advocating union of all forces against
the "gang" in the election of legislative
ticket in the interests OF "home rule and
good government" for Cincinnati as
that was paramount to the election Of q
United States senator backed by such q
gang. Judge Follett, "the grand old
man" of the local Democracy, said that
the time had come when such old time
Democrats as himself to lay aside party
lines and join in the movement to unite
with the independent Republicans in
the selection of men for the Legislative
ticket that all could support
MIR. J. Cossgrove, of the Democratic
committee Of fifteen, said it had been the
wish Of the committee to have them
called together to consider the question
OF fusing with the independent Republi
cans, as it had been understood with
their committee last spring, which had
agreed upon fusion that it should also
be carried on in the fall campaign
against Cox & Co.
The independent Republican conven
ton will meet on the same day as the
Democratic convention, and the fusior
will be no doubt accomplished. Thi'
will theninsuret the election of one-half o
the delegation from Hamilton county al
Democrats.
What holds good in Hamilton county
as to "Cox & Co." gang rule is alsc
good in Stark and other counties Of tht
state.

senator, is one who is aiding this in

there 30 long. Hanna is just as corrup
as is Geo. b. Cox and belongs to tn,

WHY so IMPoRTANTs

1t should be borne in mind by every true
advocate of the free coinage of silver that a
vote cast for Republican representative,
means vote cast for Mark Hanna and the
gold standard. More than that; every vote
cast for representative that will divide the
silver vote and make it possible to elect a
Republican representative is vote for Mark
Hanna, and an endorsement of all his
brutality, bribery and boastful arrogance. II
is for these reasons that the election of a
representative who is a true friend of silver
and stands for the people is so important this
year.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test Of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian.
spoiis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having II think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring medicines; the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have.
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar; in Others, the kidneys are effected;
in Others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are troubled
with loss of flesh and appetite, with
accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
st., indianapolis writes as follows: "a
motive Of pure gratitude prompts me to
write tht 50 few lines regarding the new
and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tables. / have been a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the last four
years; have used various patent medi.
cines and other remedies without any
favorable results. They sometimes gave
temporary relief until the effects of the
medicine were worn off. / attributed
this to my sedentary habits, being
bookkeeper with little physical exercise,
but am glad to state that the tablets
have over come all these obstacles, for
| have gained in flesh, sleep better and
am better in every way. This above is
written not for notoriety, but is based
on actual fact"
Respectfully yours,

THE COTTON CROP.
MIR. NeilI, the Cotton Statistician,
Says We Will Have q Good Crop.

New Orleans. Aug. '15.-Mr. III. M.
Neill, the well known cotton statistician,
has issued circular on the growing
crop.
After referring to the correctness of
his estimate made in July. 1894, of the
crop of that season, Mr.. Neill says:
At this moment for this year the prom
Use is equal to any previous year in every
state but Texas, and on the present
acreage, even allowing that Texas
should fall short of her maximum
product per acre by 100000 bales, the
outlook now is for a crop of at least o.
100000 bales, with 100000 to 1,OOOOOO
bales more within the range of possibili-
ties.
This figure of 9,75O,0OO bales, is really
very conservative, for product per
acre. outside of Texas, equal to 1S94-93,
would give 7,350,000 bales. and Il maxi
mum for Texas would be 3,950,0O0
bales, from which. allowing 100000
bales off. you would have crop of TO-
100000 bales.
The crop is now so far advanced from
recent rains and heat that it will reach
maturity and be Independent Of frost at
an unusually early date, and should we
soon have good rains in Texas her crop
also would be near perfection and the
the possibilities for the total crop would
then be something enormous.

DETECTIVES AT WORK
On the Murder of David DERRICK and
His Wife mt BellefOntaine.

Bellefontaine, O., Aug. 15.-There
were many detectives at work hereand in
Union township today on the rumors of
the double murder one week ago of Da-
vid DERRICK and his wife. While Tom
Ford and Lew Derwester are under ar
rest for the crime, it is generally believed
there are others who know something
about it. In connection with the ru-
mors duplicating different neighbors one
man attempted suicide on his wife's
grave because he was suspected, and a
woman, after brooding over the horror,
took morphine with suicidal intent. Yes
terday Mrs. Charles Spellman, a rela-
tive of the Detricks, charged her father
in-law, Mac Spellman, with criminal as
sault and there was talk of lynching the
father-in-law, as well as Ford and Der
wester No violence is anticipated, al,
though the excitement is intense. De
velopments of the past few days have
been such that many are apprehensive
of the result.
The sensation now is the alleged con-
fession of Ford to Mrs. Ellsworth, pre-
vious to his arrest, that he committed
the double murder. Ford now denies
the confession.

BLOODY BATTLE WAS FOUGHT
DEPUTY SHERIFFS AND A GANG OF
TOUGH NEGROES EXCHANGE
FIFTY SHOTS.
THREE DEAD and SEVERAL WOUNDED
A Posse in Pursuit of Fleeing Ne
grocs VIII Doubtless Lynch Them
If CauEht-The Negroes Re-
sisted Arrest.

Little Rock, Aug. ia bloody battle
between deputy sheriffs and u gang of
negroes occurred at Palarm, little town
near the line between Pulaski and
Faulkner counties, late yesterday even
ing. AS result of the engagement
three men are dead, another fatally
wounded and one or two less seriously
injured.
The dead are:
Harrison Kerr. negro shot TO pieces
and found lying dead in the road.
Charley Peters, negro; killed out
right.
Charles Andry, a white man; shot
through the heart by a negro.
The wounded are:
J. II. Clark, Jr.. telegraph operator:
shot through the shoulder; wounds con-
sidered fatal.
D. r. Owens, a deputy sheriff: shot
through the groin and seriously injured.
Two or three negroes, extent of in
juries not known.
The terrible affair was caused by Dep
uty Sheriff Owens trying to arrest Har-
rison Kerr. Kerr was wanted in Perry
county on the charge of murder, and
Owens, who had warrant for his ar
rest found rim at Palarm with crowd
of five or six other negroes.
When Owens called on Kerr to sur
| render the negro drew revolver and
| fired at the officer, the bullet striking
some silver money in his pocket, and
CHANGING, made serious wound in the
groin. The silver doubtless saved
Owens life.
The officer summoned Clark and An
dry to his assistance, and Kerrs COM
| panions joined him in resisting arrest.
| A regular battle took place, in which
| fifty shots were fired, and when the
shooting had ceased Charley Peters and
! Charley Andry lay dead in their tracks;
| Clark had retrcated to his office and fell
upon the floor, and Owens had rolled into
Il ditch nearby. Kerr and the remainder
of his companions fled. The whole town
was aroused and soon a posse was in
pursuit. Harrison Kerr was found
lying in the road Il mile away, shot all
| to pieces. The posse continued the pur-
| suit of his fleeing companions, and If
they are captured they will very prob
ably be strung up to Il convenient limb
An examination of Harrison Kerr's
body revealed the fact that he had re-
ceived five bullets in the region of the
heart. either wound being enough to pro
duce death, and it is miraculous how he
managed to run Il mile after being shot
He was known as dangerous charac
ter and was charged with foul muir.
der in Perry county.
The negroes are excited over the affair
but it is not thought that they will make
further trouble. Two negroes who par
ticipated in the shooting and escaped are
known to the posse in pursuit, and it il
very probable that they will be captured
and summarily dealt with.
