FOR THE FRAY,
Talk Already of Democratic
Congressional Possibilities.
BOTH MAHONING AND STARK
Have Congregational Timber and There May
Ne . Lively Contest For the Place.
Morris Of Youngstown Wants
1t Unanimous.

The democratic congressional nomi-
nation will be held at Alliance on Sep
tember 4. AS yet no one has announced
himself as candidate for the posi-
tion, although Morris, Of Youngstown,
has stated that he will accept IL the
nomination is rendered him without
opposition. Morris is in the hardware
business at Youngstown and is one of
the influential citizens of the Mahoning
county metropolis.
In Stark county two aspirants have
been looking over the field, Rhodes L.
Gregory, of Canton, formerly principal
Of one of the public schools, and at one
time assistant postmaster, has been
looking over the field and will likely
be a candidate. Gregory has been an
ardent partisan and expects to secure
a good share, II not all of the votes Of
Canton.
Massillon may also have a candidate
in the person of M. J. Dunlap. He
was in Canton recently in company
with state committeeman Otto Z. Young.
Dunlap expects the support of Massil-
Ion, and has expectations of support
from Columbiana county. He stands
well with the labor vote.
Couuty uO le
and the vote of that county may be
divided, although Morris has so far had
the inside track in that locality.
The delegates to the convention have
all been chosen. Stark has 81, Mahon-
ing AZ and Columbiana AZ. The con-
gressional committee consists of ]. w.
Pontius and w. r. Wadsworth, sec
retary pro tenn, of Stark; S. l.. Clarke,
chairman, and f. A. Kaercher, of Ma
honing; T. s. Arnold and T. ]. Former,
Of Columbiana.
Aside from the candidacy against
r. w. Tayler, the republican nominee,
who was nominated after a bitter fight
with the resulting soreness and pros
pective chance of election of the demo-
cratic nominee, the matter of patronage
| is an important factor. In case of
Bryan's election the congressional can
| didate Is supposed to have the placing
| of the offices in that district and this
alone is enough to make more than
ordinary contest for the honor.
All of the men named announce that
| in event of their nomination they would
begin an active campaign to win. II
Is understood that the closing of the
mills by the trust in Mahoning county
and the disaffection of the German and
Irish vote ins the district gives the can
didates a hope of election if an ag-
gressive fight is made. They all hope
for a political landslide occurring, such
as landed Ikirt at one time into congress
from this district, and the fact that
Major Wallace once beat Mckinley in
the congressional race gives the as
pirants hope that they might win In
spite of the adverse republican majority
| in the district.

COOL HEADED.

East Liverpool Crisis: Speaking OF
these riots in Ohio towns, do you know
how many arrests there were in East
Liverpool during the big eight months
pottery strike Of six years ago?" re-
marked Mayor. Davidson to Crisis
reporter.
There was just two. One of them
was for fight between Ted. Leslie and
a man named Wheatfield. and the other
was for an attack upon a man named
John Brick In one of the alleys.
II tell you East Liverpool Is one OF
the most orderly towns in the state
You don't find the material here for
such mobs as have disgraoed Akron
and Mansfield. Our people are toe
cool-headed." l.
And the mayor leaned back with
that self-satisf ed air which comei
from being the chief executive Of one
Of the most orderly cities Of the state.

DUNNED BONI.
Angry Contractor Breaks In On
a Shooting Party and Secures
a Check From Countess.

New York, Aug. 2S.-A special cable
gram from Paris to the World says:
The forced sale of Count Boni de
Castellane's chateau, Du Marais, with
the furniture, carriages and horses,
which, as cabled to the World, was an
nounced by posters and advertisements
in all the local papers published in
neighboring towns, failed to take place,
Boni having succeeded at the last min
ute in raising sufficient money to
appease his creditors for time.
While one of the Worlds Paris report
ers was at Dourday, awaiting the auc-
ton, characteristic scene occurred. At
the same inn where he was stopping
there descended a burly fellow, who
ordered loudly a carriage to be driven
to Castellanes country seat. Being in
furious mood, the man took everybody
in his confidence.
He said he was a Paris contractor
who had last year effected important
alterations in the chateau Du Marals.
He had been unable so far to obtain
any money whatsoever of the large
sums due him. He had just learned
that the count had paid several credi-
tors in order to escape the sale and was
now going to get some money himself
or break Bonis bones.
Two hours later he returned trium-
phantly waving a considerable check
upon a Paris bank. He said he had
at first been denied admittance, but
forced his way despite the flunkeys.

At first Boni attempted to dismiss his
creditor loftily, but an awful row en-

from the countess which constituted a
decent installment upon the total sum

Indianapolis, August 29-The scheme
of the Administration to secure an in
dorsement from the American
Press Association was knocked out by
a vote of to 8. There was Ia great
crowd Of people at the Assembly Hall,
although only 10 legitimate members
of the Press Association took part in
vigorous debate, precipitated over a
resolution commencing the policy of
the National Association.
Prof. Jesse Lawson, Of the Pension
Bureau, Washington, raised objection
on matters for the good Of the race,
and not for partisan purposes, and FL
lis Moody, of Washington, supported
him. Stewart, Of the committee on
resolutions, explained that the only
thing desired was to commend in gen.
eral terms the policy Of the Admins
tration toward the colored people, but
e. A. Manning, of Indianapolis, insisted
upon the point Of order raised by Law
son and a very lively debate followed
between Manning and Knox, of Indian

to blows. Finally President Adams
cut short the debate by forcing the

KITCHENER Is
HATED BY B0ERS,
DeWet Is Said to Have Sworn
He Would
KILL THE BRITISH GENERAL
Personal Anlmosity Doing Much to Pro-
long the eWar-Inters sting Interview
With a farolsd Burgher In
London.

A special London cable to the Chicago
Record tells an interesting story of the
bad feeling existing between those high
In command in the British and Boer
armies. Especially on the Boer side il
the feeling bitter. The London dispatch
says:
Several paroled Beers have reached
London from South Africa. One of
them said to your correspondent, this
afternoon:
Personal animosity is doing much to
prolong the war. Three prominent
Boer generals cherish deep rooted
hatred against certain British leaders.
Gen. Dewet, for instance, has sworn to
kill Lord Kitchener. When the war
broke out Dewet owned one of the most
beautiful farms in the Orange Free
State. Lord Kitchener visited this farm
with large body of troops and laid
1t waste. He blew up the trees that
shaded the burgher's lawn, burned
every building on the place and con-
fiscated all the horses and cattle he
could find.
"Dewet witnessed the destruction OF
his property from neighboring hill
and has since been seeking an oppor-
tunity to exact fitting penalty.
VANDALISM AND INHUMANITY.
Gen. Botha also hates Kitchener
chiefly because of that generals van
dalism and inhumanity. The Boar
commander-in-chief says that General
Kitchener filled his official reports with
personalities and lies designed to sully
the honor of Boer leaders and tarnish
the chivalry Of the Boer soldiers.
"Delarey would welcome an oppor.
tunity to put Baden-Powell out of COM
mission. He asserts that the defender
of Mafeking never lost an opportunity
to besmirch the character Of those op.
posed to him, accusing them OF
treachery when that of which he com.
planned was nothing more than Boel
'slimness.' Delarey tried hard recently
to square accounts with Baden-Powell
but was prevented by three convergins
British columns that threatened his owr
existence.

The Chinese way Of telling time ia
Tho oddest Of all Some travellers In
china asked q farm lad whom they
met on the road II 1t was yet noon.
He looked up at the sly to see what
nrooresa the sun had made, but there
were clouds in the way. Then he ran
To the farm and soon returned with
surprised looking cat in his arms.
Pushing up her eyelids. he said that
the morning was not yet ended.
This was a great puzzle to the
strangers, who could see NO connec-
tion between a cats eyes and the time
of day, and, going on the farm, they
asked the inmates to explain the mat
ter.
The Cinnamon thought their visitors
woefully Ignorant, but they Obligingly
hunted up all the cats in the neigh
borhood, and, having caught three or
four, showed that the pupils Of their
ewes narrowed by degrees until Il
o'clock, when they became merely a
hair line extending perpendicularly
across the eye. The noon mark once
crossed, they as slowly dilated again.
While not disputing the facts of the
case. the travellers decided that, as
you had first to catch your cat, and
then examine its eyes against Its will,
this method took great deal of time
to find out what o'clock 1t was.

A ssparats Candidate for vlce President
Will Not He Nominated.
Denver May S.-A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Omaha
snys:
The Sioux Falls convention will make
no vice presidential nomination. That
much was decided by the leaders at
conference here to-day. Mr.. Bryan was
not present. The decision was reached
with unanimity. 1t is asserted with
great positiveness that the leaders Of
the POpulist national convention will
be willing to defer in a measure to the
will Of the Kansas City convention In
respect to second place on the ticket.
The details have been worked out.
1t was agreed that the matter of Sc
iecting man for second place should
3e left to a conference committee whose
duty 1t shall be to attend the Kansas
City convention and there confer with
= like committee upon the selection Of
candidate agreeable to both. The
Sioux Falls committee will not expect
to name the man. but 1t will be en-
powered to reject uny candidate who
would be repugnant to Populists. Sen
ators Allen and Butler will be part
OF the committee. Everybody here to-
day seemed pleased to say the vexa-
tious question had been settled wisely.
1t is the opinion of the leaders here
to-day that no opposition will be raised
to the nomination of Mr.. Bryan at
Sioux Falls, and there is no issue over
the platform. SO the work Of the con-
vention can be rushed through speed

A matter that has attracted the at
tention OF all outdoor students for
ages, and which still remains unset

farmer wages a constant warfare on
weeds in order that his crops may
grow, the food-bearing plants often
fall to seed fruition. but the weeds
never. The more noxious the
plant the more certain 1t is

writer. What is true of the plant
world is true OF bird and mammal life.
The English sparrows, which nearly
every one hates. increase at the rate
Of millions yearly. In spite of rigid
winters and bounty laws. while tho
