There will be mass meeting o.
all those interested in good roads
in Harrison ou:.ty. that can at
tend, Mt the court house in Logan,
Tuesday, December IL, at 10
O'Clock a. M. All those having
ideas on the way to have good
roads are invited to come, and
those who have not thought much
about the matter should come and
hear what the others have to say
Good roads are Of direct interest
to every land owner, every tenant
and every business man in the
county. There shonld be no divi-
sion OF interest in this county ON
the subject Of good roads. While
drainage is very closely allied to
good ronds on the Missouri bot
toms much more than in the hills,
yet every taxpayer in the hills,
has a direct interest in the increas-
ed productiveness, and, therefor,
value of bottom lands. There is
hardly an acre of the overlooked
lands of the Missouri bottoms that
can not by good road and its ac-
companying ditch, be made worth
three times what it is today. Its
healthfulness, as we'll as product
iveness, will he increased. The
value of the hill lands will be in
creased as-the ease Of getting to
market is increased. Why should
there be a division Of interest on
that which is of material benefit
to all sections of the county?
But no matter whether you are
wader on the bottom or climb
er in the hills, cone to the meet
ing Tuesday, Dec. 10, and take

There will be legislation on roads

Here is one of the bits of american
humor" that pleased the womei's con-
gress in London. An English paper
says: "WoIsen still talk about their
children; they used to discuss their all
ments; they now discuss their eduCa-
ton. and in theory they are magnificent
III their methods. At the recent con-
gress an American delegate listened
with great gravity to theories on child
sn culture, and then made a real hit
by remarking in an inimitable Ameri-
,an manner: Wen, it seems to me that
you ladies will have our children in spec
tacles before they have any teeth"

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
White for Governor-It Is In
dorsed by the POpulists.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE demo-
cratic state convention on Wednesday
nominated the following ticket: For
governor, Fred f. White, of keokuk
county; lieutenant governor, NJ. L..
Bevis, Montgomery county; judge of
supreme court, a. Van Wagenen, Wood
bury county; railway commissioners,
w. II. Calhoun, Marshall county; su-
perintendent of public instruction, b.
p. Hoist, Boone county.
The populist state convention also
met and indorsed the above ticket. All
the nominees are democrats except Cal
houn, who was the populist candidate.
The Chicago platform was indorsed in
its entirety, and the democratic state
committee was empowered to fill any
vacancies caused by death or other
wise.
Cato Sells could have been named for
governor, but was not acceptable to the
populists. and withdrew, throwing his
strength to White. Fred L. White was
the candidate on the fusion ticket two
YEARS ago, being defeated by Gov. Shaw,

The red-hot knife instantly mows down
the wool, and the speed at which the
work can be done is governed by the
deftness of the operator. The heat need
not affect either the skin or the wool,
provided that the knife is properly
manipulated. With few hours prac-
tice, it is estimated, girl can dewool
from eight to a dozen skins per hour,
and the cost of the current should be
not greater than one cent for IS hours
work. The advantages of the system
are that the wool need not be injured
by lime, chemicals or other deleterious
influences, and the mere singing of the
end of each fiber is imperceptible. 1t is
claimed that the skin, which presum-
ably has been sun dried in Australia or
South America, Immediately after the
slaughtering of the sheep, is in more
perfect condition for the purposes OF

such operations shows the great econ

who is the republican candidate again.
The convention was very turbulent
throughout, and the business was
transacted with difficulty, but the re-
suits are satisfactory TO the radical sill
yer element, which was in control. 1t
is not probable, however, that the sound
money element will make an attempt
to maintain a separate organization
this year.
The resolutions indorsed unequivocal-
ly and unreservedly the Chicago ma
tional platform of 1896, in whole and in
detail, and favoring w. j. Bryan, of Ne
braska, for president in 1900. The con-
vention then denounced the war in the
Philippines as a "repudiation of Ameri-
can doctrine" and as inspired by Great
Britain to bring about an Anglo-AT.ar-
lean alliance. Expansion was declared
to mean militarism, and miiitarism the
death of democratic institutions. Trusts
were denounced as ruinous to business
and declared to be created by protect
I've tariff. Convict labor by contract
was declared an evil, and an amendment
of the mulct law was asked. The state
anu ndtIOllii ADMINISTRATIONS OI lIlt re-
publican party were condemned for
weakness and ineiticicncy."
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 17.--The Iowa
populists met in state convention
Wednesday morning, with only about
30 delegates present. The First, Sec

districts were not represented. Gen. j.

this committee reported that n satisfac-
tory agreement had been reached, the
results of which are seen in the action
of the democratic convention. After

and resolutions of the democrats and

REMOVING WOOL FROM SKINS
An Electrically Heated Blade Does
the Work with Nentness
aud Dispatch.

1t has always been a problem how to
get the wool off the skins of the many
millions of sheep which are annually
slaughtered in Australia, South Amer
lea and on the continent of Europe. An
electrical apparatus for the purpose has
been patented, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The invention, the first
idea of which is said to have been
struck by lady, consists of an electric
cautery or fleshing knife, by which the
wool may be shorn from the skin rapid
ly and without injury either to the wool
Or the pelt. The knife has very short
and very wide blade, which is fitted on
handle electrically connected. TO re-
move the wool the cautery is simply
pushed along the surface of the skin.

City Cemetery.

The approaches to all the cemeteries
about New York are lined with stone
yards, where headpieces may be had
on short notice and in a great variety
of styles to suit the varying tastes and
degrees of grief or sentiment on the
part of the survivors. Tombstones are
such cumbersome and heavy ware that
they are displayed at the very gates
of the graveyards for convenience in
making prompt deliveries. The de-
mand for them is reasonably steady,
and it would not strike the casual OBJ
server that there was much stimulation
to an eager competition in the business
of supplying them.

in prison after confessing to forging
certain documents in the case. With
pale face and hand upraised before the

height and has a common caste of fea-

plete self-possession she gave her evil
dence, accompanying the words with

Dreyfus weeps.

The feature of the days proceedings
was the story of the sutferings of
Dreyfus on Devils island, his prison
off the coast of French Guiana. Drey-
fus wept in court when the clerk read
a document recounting the details of
his incarceration.
The proceedings opened with the ap-
plication of NJ Demange for an ad-
iournment This was followed by the
deposition of NJ. Guerin, the former
minister of justice, who, however, only
repeated the evidence he had given be-
fore the court of cessation.
NJ. Lebon, the former minister of the
colonies, big, red-bearded man, then
testified in Justification of his instruc-
tions to treat Dreyfus vigorously, de-
claring that the extreme stringencT
only dated from the time he thought
an attempt would be made to rescue the
prisoner.
Col. Jouaust, president of the court
martial, asked Dreyfus if he had any
questions to put to the witness, and he
replied, in an emotional voice:
mo. | am here to defend my honor.
| do not wish to speak of the atrocious
suffering which for five years |, a
Frenchman and an innocent man, suf-
fered on the lie du DiabIe."

A narrowing tale.

published in the newspapers last week,
should be read. The clerk of the court
did so and, in sympathetic tone, re-
counted the narrowing tale of Dreyfus'
mental and physical sufferings and in
human treatment on the island.
Deep-drawn breaths of Indignation
came from the hearers as the reading
proceeded. Dreyfus at first watched
the faces of the judges with his usual
composure; but gradually, as the story
proceeded and incidents of his awful
existence were brought up before him,
his eyes grew dim and tears glstaAed
in his eyes and slowly trickled down
his checks.
Dreyfus could stand it no longer and
for the first time during his trial gave
way to his emotions and silently wept.
The faces of the audience expressed
sympathy with the prisoners emotion,
and even the captain of gendarmes
sitting beside Dreyfus turned and gave
| him a look of unconcealed compassion.
NJ. Lebon afterwards returned to the
| stand and added a few more words in
| justification of his conduct, and then
| Col. Jouaust ordered the next witness
to be brought in. All eyes were turned
