and its stricken inhabitants with a gener-
osity that must command the admiration of
the whole world. yet the loss of life and de-
struction OF property were so great that
the work of relief has only been begun
Suffice It to say that the large and -four

wiped out Of existence by an lnprecedent-

The season for pleasure riding the

companies to know the extent of the busi-

be of general interest to know that the

Falls railroad alone, which runs to Glen

passengers went over that road during the

are therefore exhorted to do everything to
make it success Any person unable to

platform with W. J. Bryan at Cumber-

1t is an occasion of more than ordinary

for which he has achieved some success
1t brings much bitterness and vituper.

ance of that duty find IL necessary not

dent Mckinley, but to emphasize that
position by supporting his antagonist,

Senator Wellington has the courage
of his convictions and expresses them
forcibly and plainly. OF course, he is
and will be roundly abused by the Re
publican party press for his declaration
against Mckinley, but the same press
that abuses him commends former Dem
Ocrats for opposing Bryan, thus showing
the milk in the cocoanut and proving
the value of the criticism. Wellington
submits arguments for his opposition to
Mckinley and the way to prove him
wrong is to refute his reasons. Abusing
him proves nothing except that his de-
fection is sore point with his traducers

barometric pressure of 2022 inches, with q
