When an incident like the following
occurs. right here at home. it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences 90
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts. when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot he true. there is
no reason that people become skepti-
cal. On one subject skepticism is
rapid disappearing. This is due TO
the actual personal experience of our
citizens and their utteranccs regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of re
putable citizen living right here at
home, one whom YOU can see every
day, leaves no ground for the skeptic
to stand on.

of the services rendered to the admin

post and undertook the discharge of its
arduous duties against his own incli-
nation and against the advice of his
political friends. He knew that the leg
islature was about to be elected in his
state and that that legislature would
be called upon to choose his successor.
His presence in the country might not,
perhaps, have changed the result, in
view of the facts now known, yet the
situation when he accepted the COM
missionship was a display on his part
of great sacrifice. The offer, it is I'M

two days ago and the senator definitely
decided to accept Wednesday.

was no prosperity in the country

much Wanted prosperity can only be
found in states and communities where
the anti mckinley sentiment and BIZ

Mr.. Bidwelrs home is in East Hart

few men in that community who made
a study of the silver question during
the last presidential election with a re-
suit that he talked and voted for Bryan,
and induced many of his toWnsmen to
vote likewise He was a delegate to
the silver republican convention at St.
Louis and while attending that con-
vention and the convention Of the pop

question than he ever dreamed of be
