Ginseng Root.

c. II. eade, Delaware county drug
gust, was at the Broadway Central last
night. I'VE been disposlng of a lot
of ginseng root to an exporter in
cedar street." said he. Nearly all of
it goes to China. The Japs don't use
it, but the Chinese think there is moth
ing like ginseng. 1t is a slender, slow
growing shrub, found all through the
north and there is a good deal of it in
Delaware and Sullivan counties. The
root, dried brings So pound here in
Manhattan. The Chinese ascrlbe all
sorts of virtues to it, and the value of
each individual root depends upon it4
size and shape. A big root brings enor-
nous prices in China. 1t has no par
ticular medicinal properties. 1t has
been analyzed more than once, and the
absolute absence of healing qualities
in the herb is perfectly we'll known to
the druggists of this country. That
makes no difference Ito the Chinaman
however. He believes it is the great
cure-all, and the root posses a charm
in his eyes. The possession of big
root will make the first baby in a ma
tive Chinese ramily exceedingly wise
and valiant. In fact, 1t is believed that
after big root is secured the first
male child will turn out to be a man
darian or something of that sort. If
the root, besides being large, possesses
any pecunarities suggesting a resem-
blance in miniature of the human form
then that root is indeed a jewel, and
worth more than god. Just how long
the Chinese will KEEP on believing in
ginseng root is a problem. 1t IS a
good thing for the backwoodsmen of
Delaware and Sullivan counties. When
the women and children have nothing
else TO do they stroll out in the for
ests and dig ginseng. They frequent
ly accumulate 800 in single year II
is a shrub of slow growth. however,
taking five years to become Of mer-
chantable size. It is cultivated snc-
cessfully, though, on a small scale by
some of our farmers. The cultivated
root brings 81 and $S a pound. The
ginseng found in bhe Southern .rates
is rather inferior, while Canada grows
the best of all."-New York Tribune.

DEMOCRATS
In Convention Assembled, Nominate
County Ticket, A Large At
tendance.

The convention of Washington
county's Democracy was held at the
Court l4ouse yesterday and there was
a fair sprlnkling of the followers of
the free trade, free silver, anti-expaDI
sion element OF our population in evil
dence. A large number of Republi-
cans were also on hand to witness the
proceedings.
The convention was called to order
by DR.. o. A. Lambert, Chairman Of the
Executive Committee. He announced
i at Samuel Bees, of Elba, had been
chosen as temporary chairman.
A. T Williamson, of Grandview,
was elected secretary and John D. Hill
linger, assistant secretary. Commit
tees on credentials, permanent organ
ization and resolutions were appoint
ed.
The reports of the committees were
adopted the committee on resolutions
recommending the Endorsement of the
Chicago platform of 1896, and other
fallacies of the Democratic party, and
pledging their earnest support to the
et nominated. This completed the
forenoon session and the convention
took an hours recess for dinner.
After dinner the convention met
promptly and the roll was called for
the announcement of the names of
committeeman.
The convention then proceeded to
the onerous task of nominating a

McLean's Complete Organiza-
ton.

Within few nours AFTER the Nc
Lean convention adjourned the selec-
lion of men to carry out the plan of
campaign was begun in detail. In
most of the Mclean counties the Nc
Lean county supervisors had already
been selected In the counties which
had been hostile to Mclean 1t was a
more delicate matter and Bernard,
Ross and others have been sent out to
get the situation. At this time the Nc
Lean couny supervisors have been Sc
lected in about two-thirds of the
counties of the state. OF course every
man selected has been sworn to invlo-
late secrecy, but the plan could not be
kept from all of McLean's enemies in
his own party. Every detail of the
plan as FAR as perfected is now in pos
session of the Republicans and comes
from sources that are absolutely re-
liable.
The Mclean plans contemplate a
precinct organization. There are
about 5000 election precincts in Ohio.
each precinct having 300 voters. In
the large cities a total vote exceeding
45O was cast in many precincts. When
townships are divided into precincts
the precinct vote usually falls short of
300. The Mclean organization con-
templates the appointment of one pre-
clnct supervisor in every precinct in
the state
Each precinct supervisor will devote
his entire time until election day to
perfecting ,he organization of his pre-
cinct. He will personally visit every
voter in the precinct. He will be fur
nished a fund to"treat the boys right.
He will circulate every story. truth or
lie, that he receives from headquarters,
when ordered to do so. He will mingle
in every gathering in his precinct and
adapt himself to every crowd in which
he finds himself, and all the time he
will sound the praise Of John k. Nc
Lean He will ignore every local
Democratic ticket, except when abso-
lutely necessary, but it will be his
duty to see that every candidate on his
local ticket and the candidates friends
are hustling for Mclean.
Taken altogether, the exposure of
McLean's plan of campaign bears out
McLean's statement made in a private
conversation before he left his home
in Washington that he would put
100000 into his campaign, and makes
it certain that he has assurance of an
additional $25O,OOO from the Silver
trust in the desperate effort to make a
good showing this fall in Ohio.

Cornelius Vanderbilt who has just
member of the present generation of
his family. lie worked his way up to
his high position in the business world
by his own exertions, and was recog-
nized as a force in his particular
sphere before the death of his father,
William H. Vanderbilt, fourteen years
ago ais career was a refutation of
the popular notion that there is "only
tnree generations between shirt
sleeves and shirt sleeves" in Ine
United States. The property which
the founder OF the Vanderbilt family
the original Cornelius, left to his son,
William II. Vanderbilt, was more than
doubled by the latter in about a dozen
years, while that which descended on
his death to Cornelius, whose demise
has just taken place was largely in
creased in the past ten or twelve
years In the Vanderbilt case, as in
thta of .ne Astors, the family accumu-
lations kept growing from generation
to generation, though in the divisions,
or partial divisions, which the deaths
of Uhe heads of the family necessltate,
the holdings, in a considerable degree,
are diffused through a greater and
greater number of hands from genera
tion to generation.-Globe Democrat.

GIVE THE CHILDREN A DRINK

called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious, nour-
ishing food drink to take the place of
coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked
by all who have used it because when
properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all it's in
furious properties. Grain-O aids di-
gestion and strengthens the nerves.
1t is not a stimulant, but a health
builder, and children, as we'll as adults
can drink 1t with great benefit. Costs
about one-quarter as much as coffee.
