A SIoREHousE OF iNFoRMATIoN.-
This is an age OF Encyclopedias, and
their value is not to be questioned,
but the average person is far too
busy to spend tine in pouring over
encyclopedias, and will consult die
tionary a hundred times to an ency-
clopedia once. Nor will much be lost
either, if the dictionary is WEBSTER
INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY, which
contains a wealth of information,
making it really an encyclopedia,
condensed, it is true but all the more
valuable for that very reason.
In fact, the INTERNATIONAL should
be considered necessity in every
family Though the style in which it
is presented makes it luxury as
welD, and saving CT three cents
day 10, year will provide more than
enough money to purchase it. The

profoundly disappointed that Towne was
not nominated by the Democratic conven-
ton. The Populists asserted that If
Towns should be withdrawn and they
should not put another man in his place,
their organization would be endangered
and such action would result in Populists
going over to the Middle-of- the Road
ticket nominated at Cincinnati. This
would lessen the chances of carrying
States in the West and in the inter-
mountain country. 1t was also said that
Mr. Bryan had been appraised of the sit
nation and that several men had receiv-
ed word from him to keep Towne in the
field and to run double tailed ticket In
order to hold the Populists and Silver
Republicans in the Western States.
When the conference broke up no con-
clusion had been reached, the Populists
and Silver men going back to their re-
spective national committees with the
understanding that the three committees
should meet in the morning.
Later-The National Committee or the
Silver Republicans decided to endorse
