SILVER MEN HOPEFUL.
Indications That Fusion VIII 30 tho Or
der of the Day.

der of the Day
Denver, Feb. ia special to the
Republican from Washington says:
The silver forces are in high spirits.
They have every confidence that they
will win In the coming congressional
elections. Reports from states where
work has been pushed to secure the
cooperation of forces Indicate that In
most instances the plans of the lead
crs here In Washington will be sue
cessful. The most gratifying report
received by the silver men is from
Utah, where the opposition TO Frank
Cannon In the Democratic ranks was
so pronounced that 1t looked for u
time as II the silver parties in that
state could not unite and that the cf-
fort to return Cannon would not be
successful. The Democrats insisted
upon running candidate of their own
and told the silver leaders here that
the position of the national Democ-
racy on tine silver question was such
as to insure Democratic majOrities
and the election of n Democrat TO the
House ard 81 the. Senate. 1t Is be-
lieved from the reports just received
that n satisfactory arrangement will
be made and that Cannon will have
the support OF all the silver parties.
This has been brought about by the
assistance promised the Democrats IN
other states, notably in Wyoming.
where it is proposed and seems agreed
upon that all silver parties will sup
port q Democrat to succeed Clark.
The silver parties will also support
Democrats In California and Oregon
for the Senate. There Is yet some
trouble In Montana. Hartman. n Sill
YER Republican, is sure of being rc.
turned TO the House, but Mantle, Sill
yer Republican, Is meeting with some
opposition in his fight for the Senate.
The Democrats say they have large
percentage of the silver vote and that
they ought 10 have representatives in
the national Legislature. Besides.
they say that Mantle voted for the
tariff bill and they cannot make Dem
ocrats support him. The silver forces.
however, say that some adjustment
can he made. They hope II will not be
necessary to sacrifice any of the
friends of silver in Congress, because
they believe that success can he
achieved with men who have been
tried and who have experience. In
Colorado II is said that so far moth
ing has developed to disturb the pro.
gram of returning Shafroth and Bell.

districts that they will be available

The Chicago wheat deal Is attract
Ing much attention. Joseph Letter
continues to hold his immense pur-
chases OF high grade winter wheat, an
amount now estimated at $1,000, 600
bushels. In the meantime prices are
advancing in all parts OF the world.
and II is difficult to predict the figure
which will be reached by May wheat.
The Letter clique claims that the far
mers have long since parted with their
wheat. and points TO the fact that
dollar wheat" falls to materially In
crease the receipts at the principal
points. An interesting feature OF the
situation is the development that hun
drods Of mlllers and wholesale -four
dealers have been mixing corn meal
with -four and selling this blended mix
ture as high grade wheat This is said
to account for black bread" and the
further fact that -four has not nd.
vanced In price In proportion TO wheat.
This matter has been introduced Into
congress and some legislation may fol-
low. The reports Of Russian short.
age which were at first vigorously
denied. are found to be true, and the
government viii probably repeal the
duty ON wheat 10 as TO permit Imports.

A RUNAWAY
Nearly Ended in Disastrous Results
 to Driv and Pedestrians.

Mir. E. D. Donahoe is busily engag- ed today repairing his wagon. He sent a negro driver with Q load oi wood to 6 residence near Johnson's school yesterday afternoon. The driver delivered the wood and was returning with the team. The coup ling came loose and frightened the team. They sprang forward, throw ing the driver down between them. The negro was caught and dragged about 30 feet by the running team. The team ran five or six blocks with the front part of the wagon, and were finally stopped by running into q tree. The negro was only bruised a little and the wagon was partly demolished.
 Had the runaway occurred q few minutes later the team might have dashed into colored children coming from JohnsOn's school.

swEpEMs TRAMP CUBE

There are few tramps in Sweden. We never hear of great strikes or labor disturbances in that country. And when Swedes emigrate to other countries they are always welcome. They are usually found to be indus trious, intelligent and handy men, who can make themselves useful in many branches of industry.
 The reason for tfis is probably to be found in the "sloyd' system of education which has been SO long in operation in Sweden. A writete in the January Outlook shows to what an extent the teaching of "sloyd" is carried in the public schools of Sweden By it the children are taught to make for themselves every thing conceivable for use in daily life-all articles of clothing, furni ture and convenience-and to cook well. They are also taught how to make first-class tools.
 The one pitiable thing about our American work seeker is his utter helplessness when cast on his own resources. He is not a handy" man. He can do nothing unless he is put in the ranks and supplied with tools and "bossed. If he had school education which includes sloyd, he would have acquired self reliance, industrial habits and skill in self help.
 Less faddism and more practical education Of this sort in American schools would be good St Lous Post Dispotch.

MISS GUSSIE M'KINNEY
Tenders Her Resignation as a Teach
 CT ill the Public Schools.

Miss Gussie Mckinney, for two sessions the efficient and popular teacher of Latin and Algebra at the City High School, has tendered her resignation to the School Board The resignation takes effect Tues day, February the first. Appreciate ing the worth of Miss Mckinney as an instructor, it was with regret that the Board accepted her resigna- tion.
 Miss Mckinney was pupil under Prof. J. H. Hinemon, at Monticello. As an instructor and in her own per son she has been a source of pride to her teachers and a credit to herself. Under her able tutorage the Latin and Algebra classes have been thor oughly taught. She has always won the highest esteem from her pupils, who have been glad to follow and profit by her instructions.
 Miss Mckinney having chosen some other walk in life than that ofa pedagoguc, she robs the profession of one of its most promising disci- ples.
 She leaves for Little Rock in few days. where she will visit week or more.
 Miss McKinney's successor has not been elected.

THE LETTER CLIQUE.
Think They Own Every Bushel of
 Surplus Wheat in This Country.

GHIcAGo, Jan. 27.-"B Easing our estimate on the government figures we think we now own every bushel of surplus wheat in this country, George E. French, the active manag- CT of the big wheat combination, said for himself and Joseph Letter, who is the visible head of the'clique. 1 He said further: According to the most reliable estimates obtained we thiAk there is not more than l 5,000, GOO bushels of wheataccounted for. Scattered over different parts of the country we have holdings of at least that amount, so we can safely claim to have possession of all the surplus"
 Added to the government estimate of 530, ,000, ,000 bu. for last years crop, the 30,000000 bu. carried over from the crop of 1896, gave Mr. French his basis of 56O, GOO, 900 bu. as the original supply. This he proceeded to dis pose of as follows: Exported to date, 145, 100000 bu.; estimated neces- sary for home consumption, 3f0,000,- GOO bu.; estimated necessary for feed, 60, GOO, 900 bu.; making a total of 545,- 000,000 bu. comfortably put away The difference between the original estimated surplus and the amount accounted for is i5,000,000 bu. This is the amount of wheat which, ae- cordlng to Mir. French, furnishes the key to the situation, and on which the "clique' has put q price of ten cents in advance of the Chicago price for May wheat, whatever that may be, from day to day.
 "The situation is simply this, = de clared Mir. French; Every thingIgoes to show that this country has sent abroad more than it's exportable surplus. We think wheat has been over-exported to the extent of l5,- 900, GOO or 2O,00O,0OO bu. and that the United States is the country in which to sell.

JUDGE MCOMAS.
The Successor of A. P. German in
 the U. s. Senate.

Hrhe new senator from Maryland is now sitting upon the bench of the United States court of the District oi Columbia and is a man who has won respect and confidence in iudie- ial, congressional and private life. 2 says the Chicago Record. Judge McComas was 51 years old last Oc- tober. He is native of Maryland, graduated at Dickinson college, Pennsylvania, studed law with Chief Justice Alvey of the Court of Appeals of this district and praetieed for several years at Hagerstown. He went into politics shortly after he obtained his majority and became a local leader of the Republican party in a Democratic community. In 1876, when less than 30 years old, he was a candidate for Congress and was defeated by q majority Of only 15. He ran again at the next campaign and was elected and served for eight years in the House, where he was known as an attentive. industrious and efficient member, a hard worker in the committee room, q good de- batter on the floor and popular with both parties. In the presidential campaign of 1902 he was secretary Of the Republican national committee, and shortly after the election of President Harrison, who was his warm personal friend, appointed, him to the Supreme Court of the dis trict, where he has earned an invia- ble reputation. In social life Judge McComas is exceedingly popular. No man in Washington has more friends among all classes in tho community. While they were serving in tongress together President Mckinley and Judge McComas became very close friends, and their relations have con- tinued unbroken.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH,
A Pleasant Simple. but Safe Eneetaal
 Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
 been considered the next thing to in curable.
 The usual symptoms are q full or
 bloating sensation after eating, ac- companied sometimes with sour ol
 watery-rising a formation of gases causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; head
 ache, fickle appetite, nervousness and
 a general played out, languid feeling,
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
 terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condi- tion.
 The cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treat ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
 To secure q prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion Is secured the catarrhal condition will
 have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptie Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
 These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not
 being q patent medicine, can be used
 with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J, Booher of 27i0 Dearborn St., Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is q local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose be- comes infiamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom, passing buck ward into the throat, reaches the stomach. thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets. Icannot find appro- priate words to express my good feeling.
 "I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use" Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient reme- dy for any form of indigestion, ca tarrh of stomach, biliousBess, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals
 Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich. The | tablets can be found at all drug stores. d19-21-23- -26- -2S-30 w22-29

SHIPPED TO KANSAS.
Were the Remains of W. J. McGrath, By Order of the Brotherhood of
 Railway Trainmen.

The remains of W.J. McGrath, who suicided Wednesday night, were shipped to Hlawatha, Kansas, by order of the Brotherhood of Rail- way trainmen of that place.
 There seems to be little ground for doubting that the man Intentionally took His own life. Several days be- fore Wednesday night he borrowed money and gave his watch as securi- ty, instructing that 1t be sen c. O. D. to his wife in Kansas. Other acts of the deceased prove concluslvely that 1t was suicide.
