dreaded end. Besides his father and
mother, he leaves eleven living broth

His eldest sister, Miss Cora Wells, ar
rived late Saturday evening from Le-

His remains were laid to rest in the

WARNING TO pEMocRArs.
From ,LouIsyi lie, tKy.l Dispatch.

rIoh .Nhyj Dispdtcu
The press bureau of the Democratic
national committee, In the hands OF a
close personal and political friend OF. Mr..
Bryan, regards the recent talk Of II quiet
plan TO reverse the policy and change the
leadership OF the party as OF sufficient
significance to require an official warning
to the Democrats of the nation. The bu-
ran evidently believes an effort Is to be
made to get enough delegates into the
convention at Kansas City by stealth To
change the pla form and nominate a can
dldate other than Mr. Bryan. Mr. Al
bott. the very well Informed gentleman
In charge Of the work OF the bureau, EVIL
IDENTITY does not regard the recent utter
ances of '6 boilers, expedientists and ma
chine plticians as entirely sincere. He
evidently believes there is danger to De-
mocracy In present conditions i'm the East
and In ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. In
deed, he regards the situation such as to
make warning timely, and he, as the
representative OF the Democratic organi-
zation. calls for the Democrats OF the
country to instruct their delegates for Mr.
BRYAN and the Chicago platform. The
Dispatch agrees with Mr.. Abbott as to the
timeliness Of this action. We regard 1t
as extremely doubtful that straightout
Chicago platform delegation will be sent
to Kansas CITY By the Kentucky machine.
Nearly all who have been mentioned were
boilers in '96, and not one Of them has ev-
er changed the position he then occupied
with reference to the Democratic platform

PATRONIzE HOME MERCHANTS.

Patronizc home industries and home
merchants In preference to outside firms.
1t is the home people who have made this
CITY. and help TO make your business pros
porous, assist in keeping the churches up
and maintain the schools. Merchants In
New York and Chicago. or even In Jack.
sOnvile, care very little for you only in q
business way. Bear these facts In mind
when you get ready to send another order
ont of the city that could have been filed
just as well here.-Tampa Tribune.
The above is good advice. The habit Of
sending away for articles that can he pur-
chased from yonr home merchant should
be- discouraged. Your local merchant is
the man who contributes to the upbuid-
ing Of your town or city and deserves your
sympathy and patronage on all occasions.
