The Kilmer Factory in Ashes.

The fire which destroyed the i'm
mense Swamp Root medicine plant
of DR.. Kilmer Il Co., July /, was
the most disastrous which has ever
occurred in Binghamton. How
ever, the Kilmers resumed business
next morning, though not at the
old stand, which was heap of
smouldered ashes. While the fire.
men were yet pouring water on the
burning Chenango street establish
ment, the Kilmers were arranging
10 DO business somewhere else.
That this great industry might
not be crippled for a moment,
through the courtesy of other prom
inent firms and citizens, the large
factory and adjoining buildings on
South street were vacated for the
benefit of the Swamp Root people,
and possession was taken immedi-
ately, and here, by Monday, July
s, this new, temporary factory will
be turning out Swamp Root, the
great Kidney Remedy, in quaint.
ties of about 600 bottles per day,
and in two or three weeks time the
full capacity Of more than four
times that amount will be produc.
ed. The immense demand for
Swamp Root will thus in no way
be interfered with.
On the old site, with adjoining
property which has just been pur-
chased, will be erected Immediately
an absolutely Gre-proof six story
structure. plans for which lave

OUR DUTY.

The editor has a duty and is
held responsible for IT'S perform
ance. He has his likes and dis
likes the same as other profess
ional men, but if he be true to his
patrons, his conscience, his call
ing, he must not shrink from right
eous tasks. OF course publish
ing sensations and scandals is
unpleasant to those concerned and
to become public carrier for such
news comes among our dislikes.
Regarding the scandalous sensa-
ton fresh from the tongues OF
gossippers we wish in all kindness
to be plain that no one will mis-
understand. Our hearts bleed for
the unfortunate ones who must, in
a measure. have reflected on them
the disgrace Of truants, but we can
not, we dare not, in face of right
and Justice be considered as con-
doning crime.
An innocent wife, pure as the
SHOWS from heaven; the aged moth
err and declining father are in the
depths Of sorrow and grief. a
widowed mother and innocent sis
tiers, who know what it is to have
the wolf at the door, are also sore
ly affiicted;& with those directly re-
sponsible for crime, may the Lord
deal tenderly, for the road chosen
by them is indeed rough and in
tested by all that makes hell hide
ons, revolving and tortuous. Grill
law will take notice OF offended
Justice and evil doors must be pun
ished for their own good and as a
warning to others as well. The
law of God having been trodden
under foot the Great Judge will
see that divine law has been vindi-
Gated. BY the editor public SEN
timent is nodded and the righteous
journalist will know no friends in
the matter of discharging a duty.
May transgressed law be vindica-
ted, and no officer become engag-
ed in an attempt to avert justice.
We would warn all men-we
would protect our women.

BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

The Kansas Cityconvention has
adjourned. giving the country two
distinguished statesmen to carry
the Democratic banner to victory
w. ]. Bryan, of Nebraska, for
President and Adlai E, Stevenson
for Vice President. With this
ticket all Democrats are satisfied,
the personel suits exactly. 1t is
winner and will be hailed with
reclamation by lovers Of freedom.
We have all known it would be
Bryan. From that eventful hour
when he electrified the wisest OF
his party at Chicago by his pow
ers-through changing events
it hasIbeen Bryan, a great man,
on the peoples platform. Then,
there is Adlai Stevenson, of Him
ois. We had thought little OF
him, bat when his name was
spoken that was enough. He is a
great man with profound ideas,
true to party when others faltered
and the mention of his name and
reverting to his record was suffi-
cient, the people of one accord
through their delegates name him
to mate with the peerless Bryan.
Now we have the personnel, the
platform against plutocracy in the
Republican ranks, trusts, a terri
BILE war debt of continuous growth,
party for the rich and against
the people. The people will vote
as they see and elect the Demo
cratic ticket.

1t was only the making of the
platform that prevented the nomi-
nation Of William Jennings Bryan
on independence Day. If the
United States would be an indie
pendent people they must rise
above the methods and doctrines
of Republicanism. Under Repub-
licln rule the people are servants
in their business. Republicans
name the price for which they
would do mental labor according
to the dictation Of bosses. The
trusts say wages shall be fifty
cents per day and the people must
accept or starve. Provisions are
controlled in value by this same
organization, which has had its
birth and sustenance in the Re
publican party.

A STRONG ONE.

Our contemporary across the
street speaking of the National
ticket, Bryan and Stevenson, said;
Yours is a strong ticket. " If all
Republicans would speak their
honest sentiments they would vary
very little from the above. Yes
this is a strong ticket, a winning
ticket, and hungry Office seekers
can begin to cast about for an easy
jos.

ATLANTA, April l6.-By the arrest Of
Martha Venebrooks the police have de-
veloped a story both dramatic and SEN
Sational. 1t is the story of the woman 5
life, which as related by her, shows that
she l. the victim of a vile conspiracy.
The woman states that by Birth she is
Of pure Caucasian blood. She was born
IN Augusta previous % the ci Ill war,
hat her parents were never married.
According To Martha : story, heT mother
belonged 10 one Of the most res occtablc
families IN Augusta, and when she was
born the unfortunate woman was given
10 a mulatto woman named Mitchell,
who lived in this city. Martha was
taught to believe that she was the child
Of Liza Mitchell, and was raised Is a
negro slave. When She reached woman
hood she was forced 70 marry negro,
and was sold with him aS slave. Sew
eral years after the war, she states,
Judge Wright, who knew her story,
sent for her, and told her of her birth
and parentage, informing her that she
was heir tOa considerable fortune. The
woman says, however, that time, fate
aud social law had made her negro,
and that she would remain one to her

George Edwards. One Of the plays
produced was The Solicitor" by Mr..
Darniey. During one Of ihe acts the
players wore uniforms and accOuter-

from Mr.. Bleksley, an official of the
local fire brigade, TO lend the swords
used in the play to the Transvaal gov
ernment in order to make a good dis
play at the opening Of the DelagOa
Bay railway. The government was
short of swords and thought that even
theatrical weapons would lie more eff
fective than empty scabbards and re-
vOlver cases. Mr.. Sass referred the
official to Mr. Edwards, who happened
to be in England. and the display was
