DAYTON'S DEFECT.

Mr.. Dayton must not conclude
that the people here desire to treat
him unfairly, or to do him any
wrong. His course has been full of
errors, though lie may have been
honest and conscientious therein.
Politicians and office holders must
not think or act as If the people
we're nonentites or mere chips on
q shuttle board to be handled at will.
His defect, as may also the defect
OF others, in some nearby bureaus,
may be charged up to an unwill-
ingness to heed too little, the warn
ing of the masses, and catering too
willingly to circumscribed dynasty
of small combinations. It cannot
always remain thus, and it is great
pity that such mistakes, and in some
instances cold bloodedness, brings
defeat to personal ambitions, as well
as temporarily wrecks substantial
organizations.

SIOO Reward, 500.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to medical fratern-
ity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro.
prietors have much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer one hum
dred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

THE NREGnNI DID IT ALL /,

Chicago, Aug. Rev. Joseph
P. Mcintyre, chaplain of the battle
ship Oregon during the action off
Santiago, is in Chicago on sick leave.
He says of the battle:
81 was exceedingly fortunate in
my view of the battle. The Oregon
was within three-fourths of mile of
the enemy at times, and the Brook
Ign was the only other ship at all
near. l had nothing to do but watch
the struggle.
"Too great praise cannot be given
the Oregon and Captain Clark, al
though there does not seem to be
great haste to admit it. The Ore.
gon did it all. The flagship Brook
Ign was the only other ship that
kept us company in the ordeal, and
as soon as heavy shot penetrated
her bow at the water line and filled
the front bunkers with water, Com
modore Schley turned further out to
sea to avoid . repetition of that mis-.
hap. Her bows lowered and her
speed was much less, so that she was
not in the race near the finish when
the Cris'nh.d Colon was beached.
Commoi re Schley signalled the
Oregon to go in closer to shore and
engage the enemy, knowing that our
armor could not be penetrated. We
went in and did the fighting for the
feet. The truth must sooner or
later be known, and history will
credit Captain Clark and his crew
VIII annihilating the Spanish ar
mazda.
admiral Sampson, of course,
from his position away beyond the
squadron, was debarred from the
privilege Of even witnessing the
fight. He was summoned by dis
patch boat, and returned in time to
hear the artillery, but did not reach
the spot until an hour after the fight
was over.
"The Oregon in action exceeded
her trial apeed, and is the only war
ship afioat that ever did this. She
is beyond question the most mag
nifcent fighting machine ever built,
and the Government in all likelihood
will duplicate her for the new navy"

BISMARCK.

This great man, known as the
"Iron Statesman" has succumbed
to death. His life was eventful,
and fraught with such manipula-
tion and force, schemes and execu-
tion, that not only Europe, but the
world watched him with keen in
terest. He enlarged and solidified
the German Empire, and in many
ms tanc,s, dictated the policy OF the
strong, dominating powers. How
lasting it may under the charge of
the present emperor, is a question
that may soon be answered. 1t
may 60 down in less time than re-
quired to build it. A weakling may
produce speedy destruction, and al
ready Imperialism and socialism are
not delicious, nor by any means,
permanent bedfellows. OF the aged
men of mark who have craven their
names in the history of the world s
movements in that section, only the
reverent Pope remains, and the
sickle of Time, hovers closely about
his Way.
