MORE EVIDENCE.
Before The PubIic-A Scranton Store
Keeper Testifies.

Scranton is greatly interested in the home
testimony that is being brought forward in
favor of the little cOnqueror." Our repre-
sentative investigated another case in that
of Mr. Daniel Mohr, who has a little store at
No 33S Summer avenue, Hyde Park Mr.
MOhr is a fine muscular, we'll man.
who looks as though no burden that any
ordinary back is called upon to bear would
prove too great for his and still q few months
ago he could not lift a bushel Of potatoes for
a customer. Being by trade a quarryman,
which taxes the muscles Of the body he
overtaxed thOm once and strained the kid
news, and catching a cold at the time, it
settled there, causing kidney disorder, and
with this he has been troubled more or less
for the past 12 years. Colds he says, always
went right TO the back and according to the
VARYING of the weather and his work he
would have alternate sharp and dull pains in
the back. Lifting heavy things or STOPPING
positions caused pain in the back which was
also always stiff in the morning. 1 have
used all kinds Of things said he, but nothing
ever helped me like Doan's Kidney Pills
They have completely banished all my pains
They deserve the highest praise and are sure
to be a winner when people find out what a
great medicine they are, and it will not be
long before they find it out. Both my wife
and myself feel thankful for the good Doan's
Kidney Pills have done me, and we both
heartily recommend them to any one suffer
ing with kidney diseases This is but the
Investigation Of one case in Scranton, There
are many more that we have investigated.
some Of which have already been publi- ed
aud more will follow. DOans Kidney Pills
are accomplishing wonderful results right
here at home where it is very easy to prove
such statements as above, The pills are for
sale by all dealers. Foster-Milburu Co.,
Buffalo, N. Y, are sole agents for the United
States and will mail same on receipt Of price,
which is within reach Of all, only 50 cents
per box. Remember the name Doan's and
do not be persuaded to take any substitute

BRYAN ON DOLLAR WHEAT.
Law OF supply and Demand Regulates
the Price of All Commodities.

Law of supply aud Demand Regulates
the Price Of All Commodities.
st. Louis, Sept. 6.-The Post Dispatch
prints a letter from William j. Bryan,
the first utterance after three months
Of travel and observation during the
return of prosperity. Among other
things he says:
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has been exceedingly short. The
fact that silver and wheat have parted
company will cause no dismay to those
who understand that the law of sup
ply and demand regulates the price Of
both Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the Republican position
than the joy manifested by the Re-
publioans over events for which their
administration and their politics are in
no wise responsible.
IF the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the price of wheat they must
assume the responsibility for the fam
inc in India. A great rise in price
should be followed by rise In wages"
Mr.. Bryan says that the JOY over the
increase Of money from wheat Is evil
dence that we have too little money;
that If the farmers are benefited by the
rise in one of their products how much
versal; that tho price of wheat will
fall when tho foreign demand becomes
normCl ond tAat the present spasmod-
ic rise WI aid rather than lnjure the
cause Of bimetallism.

THE oyster season has opened with
a decided rush. The numbers of
oysters in sight are said to exceed
those Of any former year, while the
quality is unequalled. Now all this
sounds delightful, but there is one
thing yet needed. Plentiful and
superior as the oysters may be this
season, there is nothing to indicate
that they are likely to become a drug
on the market, for unlike fruits, which
must be marketed when ready for
use, it can be allowed to remain in
it's bed, and grow bigger and fatter.

Dragged the Vessel over.
Savannah, Ca, Sept. 6.-The three
masted schooner Agnes L Grace, of
Bangor, Me, capsized and sunk yes
terday 20 miles east of Tybee. Her
crew came ashore in a boat, landing at
Warsaw Island. The schooner sailed
from New York Aug. 2S with a cargo
of salt for Savannah and four 16 ton
guns for the Tybee fortiflcations. She
reached Tybee Saturday night in a Sc
we're northeaster, and a strong effort
was made to hold her UP to the wind
and prevent her being driven further
south. All night she tossed in the
heavy seas, but as the storm was go
ing down and when the fight with the
elements was almost won the heavy
guns shifted and began to roll about. All
efforts to secure them were fruitless,
and the crew were driven to the rig
ging as the iron monsters plunged back
and forth across the deck.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning
a heavy lurch of the fated vessel threw
the immense weight of the four big
guns into the scuppers, and the YES
sci staggered, tried to right and then
slowly heeled over, with the angry
seas rushing In over her bulwarks.
Captain Farrar and his crew of seven
men succeeded in manning the vessels
boat after much difficulty, and rowed
away from her just as she went down.

WE fully agree with Editor
Shumway, of the Pottsville Chroni-
Gle, that the position of that
journal on the financial ques-
tion is causing its friends much
amusement. The Chronicle endorses
the platform adopted at the recent
Democratic county convention, pledg
ing the party in support of the free
coinage of silver, Notwithstanding
the fact that our vacillating contemp-
orary bolted the party last year be-
cause it could not accept that which
it now apparently acquisces in. But,
perhaps, the Chronicle has changed
its mind.
