SECOND OF SERIES.

Last Friday evening, at the NJ. E.
church, the second entertainment of a
series to be given by the Epworth
League took place. The attendance
was large, and to say that the audience
was well pleased would be truthtqlly
stating the facts. Many who had pre-
viously glanced over the program, not
ing the talent, had expected to see a
pretty fair entertainment, but their
expectations were more than fully real
lied, for it was one of the BEST given in
this city in many q day by company
of local talent only. The rendition of
this program will have tendency to
interest the people in the others, which
are to follow, and which in all proba-
bility win fully equal the one Of Friday
night. The following is the program
rendered.

Wausau friends, arranged surprise"
which was very complete in all of its
details. This most estimable couple

among those who have seen it grow up
from lettering child, as it were, until
it has become quite a giant and it is
such citizens as they who have helped
along this growth-which means
properly interpreted, that they have
been enterprising, broad-minded,
liberal, and public-spirited. Mr.. Wer-

DEATH OF FATHER RICHARD.
Passed Away at Appleton on Sun.
day at 1925 P. M.

Word reached this city yesterday of
the death of Rev Father Richard at
Appleton, Wis. The end was not I'M
expected for he had been in poor health
for some time and of late had been
failing very rapidly, and those who
watched over him knew by unmis-
taxable signs that it was but a question
of short time when the thread of life
would be severed and a useful life
would pass away. The cause of death

HOW BUSINESS MOVES NOW.
The Working Force is Increasing
Rapidly. West Needs More.
DISTRIBUTION is ACTIVE

New York, Oct. 15.-Duns' Weekly
review of trade says that more season
able weather had important influence
throughout the country, but the coal
strike had continued as a restraining
factor in business. Distribution of
merchandise in the west is still very
active. The working force is increas-
ing steadily and in railroad and manu-
featuring circles in the middle west
scarcity of labor is causing uneasiness.
Fear of tight money has had some men
hesitate, but higher rates result from
the activity of the movement of cotton
at high prices in the south. At the
moment the movement of gold from
Europe has tended to relieve the ten
sion in New York and gold is still
coming from Australia.
Iron production has been further
reduced, according to the Iron Age. A
gratifying feature is the evidence that
supplies in consumers hands are low
Quotations on iron products are steady
and foreign buying continues, two con-
tracts of Importance being placed.
Pipe makers are buying quantities of
pig, while carbuilders and shipbuilders
are also urgent bidders for material.
Wheat declined without the aid of a
government report. Domestic condi-
tions are generally satisfactory and
foreign crop news cheerful.
Corn remains steady in the face of
the decline of condition. Foreign buy
ing is small.
Atlantic export in two weeks amount
ed to 4,s51, 7s7 bushels against 6, IT,
14s bushels last year.
Shipments of boots and shoes from
Boston at the rate of ss, AS cases week
ly mean the most active business since
April, and exceed the heavy forward
ings of last year. Improvement is
general, with orders from all parts of
the country and frequent requests for
immediate shipments. The signs that
excessive accumulations have become
distributed are encouraging.

MARK HANNA CALLED OFF.

Mark Hannas career as a spell
binder has been cut short by no less
an individual than William Mckinley
For the first time in the campaign it
is said Mckinley has found it neces-
sary to interfere with his campaign
manager in any way. But Hanna in
a few brief efforts was having such a
disastrous effect among the working
men and farmers in Indiana, Illinois
and other states where the trust is
not admired that the presidential
candidate found it necessary in the in
terest of the party, not to say any
thing of himself, to interfere and call
off Mr.. Hanna's dates as "spellbind-
err much to the disappointment of Ma
tional Chairman Jones OF the Demo-
cratic committee. AS a result Mr..
Hanna will devote his undivided time
to the management of the contributed
campaign fund where, in his opinion,
it will do the most good.
The main cause of the trouble was
Mr.. Hanna's speech in Chicago in
which he made the statement, Il do
not believe there is trust in the Unit
ed States" From all over the country
kilograms and letters of protest pour
ed in on the president against such
foolish statements, even though made
by 1.-THE Boss" and Mckinley could
not let them go unheeded however
much he approved Marks assertions.
AS a consequence Mark Hanna was
told plainly that he must make no
more speeches without first submit
ting what he is going to say to rigid
censorship and that he must not at
tempt to make the Dakota and Ne
braska trip he had planned under any
circumstances. AS a matter of fact,
Senator Hanna was a little dubious
about attempting to make any cam
paign speeches until Perry Heath and
Congressman Lands of Indiana urged
him to speak at Delphi. His reception
there appealed to his vanity. The fiat
terry of the Republican papers turned
his head and he was induced to make
a second trial before the Commercial
Mems Club at Chicago at a MONDAY
meeting. There was where he got into
trouble. He believed that it was up to
him to say something about trusts,
and he did so with a vengeance. He
launched forth in a challenge to Mr.
Bryan to tell him what trust was
and then followed with the assertion
that there were no trusts in the coun-
try and finally concluded this phase of
his address with bold statement that
the only trusts he was aware existed in
this country were the cotton bail trust
and the ice trust, which he said GER
tain Democratic politicians were sup
posed to be interested in.
Democrats all over the country will
regret Mr. Hanna's downfall as SPELL
binder.
But we still have Teddy Roosevelt
and Senator Stewart left.

LYING WAS BEGUN.

The Republican national committee
keeps the Republican newspaper
throughout the country supplied with
burning thoughts. This is a boom to
the Republican newspapers, for their
thoughts use to cost them 25 cents per
column from the 'boiler-plate'' fac
tories, and now they get them for
nothing.
In list of converts to Bryan pub
lished sometime ago by an eastern
newspaper, the article mentioned half
a dozen names of residents of Bath.
N. Y, as citizens of Bath, Me. The
mistake was purely accidental. OBJ
viously their votes would be much
more useful to Mr.. Bryan where they
properly belong than they would be
in Maine. The Hanna organs, how
ever, discovered the mistake, bounced
upon it with a great cutlery, and even
yet have not finished crying fake
Last year, Mr.. Creelman, the cele-
brated newspaper correspondent, wrote
from Nebras ska that statement that Mr..
Bryan by his lectures and writings
had accumulated property worth about
twenty-five thousand dollars. The
ever vigilant and diabolically in
clined printer, put on an extra cipher.
making the amount two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. The mistake
was not discovered until the paper was
on the street. Here was another thing
for the Republican press to make an
cutlery about. Remarks about Mr..
Bryan as "plutocrat" began to cir
culate through the Republican press,
but they eventually stopped when the
explanation of the slip made them too
ridiculous to be persisted in. The
Hanna literary bureau, has, however,
recently revived them, and has even
improved on the original typographical
error by raising the amount of Mr..
Bryan's fortune TO three hundred thou
sand dollars.
Another instance of the methods en-
ployed by the Republican literary bu-
reau may be cited. Some years ago a
gentleman, no longer connected with
the New York Journal, wrote a signed
article giving his estimate of Mr.
Bryan as a man and as a leader. This
estimate has been revived by the Re-
publican press bureau and circulated
as the editorial opinion of the New
York Journal and even in some cases
represented as the personal work of W.
R. Eearst
Ex-senator Henderson, recently I'M
derrook to prove for the benefit of the
Republican party, that notwithstand-
ing the cry of 'militarism" the mill
tary powers of Europe spent more on
their armies than we did" The New
York Journal printed an article show
ing that the military budget in Europe
includes the entire cost of pensions,
and that if we took this into account
our military expenses were nearly
twice as great as those of any other
military country in the world There
upon the Republican literary bureau
started out paragraphs like this and

why Republicans Are Apathetie.

Binghamton Leader: The record of
the Republican party in government
is not satisfactory to the members of
that party, especially to these members
who do their own thinking Thou
sands of Republicans in all sections of
the country disapprove the Philippine
scheme, and while not all of these will
refuse to vote the Republican ticket,
their attitude and speech are calculat-
ed to encourage and strengthen the
growing sentiment against imperial
ism. When the thinking and indepen-
dent membership of party is in
mental condition that reflects all the
shades of feeling from Indifference 10
disgust, it is not unreasonable to look
for results that must be far from graf
flying to that party's managers. This is
the state of things in the Republican
party today, and over-confidence is the
last feeling it is calculated to produce.

Why Hanna Is Worried.

Rochester Herald: One of the chief
causes of Mark Hanna's uneasiness,
which he makes no pretense to con-
ceal, is the possibility that New York
will go Democratic In Maine and
Vermont there have been changes of
10 and 20 per cent during the last four
years in favor of the Democracy. That
was in states where no concerted eff
fort was made to reduce the conceded
Republican pluralities. In New York
a change of less than L per cent will
throw the state into the Democratic
column. With organized effort
throughout the state it is not to be
denied that the chances of Democratic
victory are bright enough to be visible
to the naked eye. Mark Hanna, at all
events, has experienced no difficulty in
discerning them

st. John, n. B.. Oct. 13.-The prov
ince of New Brunswick has received a
fearful drerching from a rain storm
which has lasted one hundred and
eight hours and which in amount
equals ten inches. Not a train is NOV
ing on the Canadian Pacific railway
between St. John and Van Oebororon,
the branch lines of the road to st.
Andrews, st. Stephen, Frederickson
and Woodstock. The tie-up is due to
washouts. Conditions are the worst
which have existed in the Union Pacific

Excursion Rate Was Success,

Wichita, Oct. 1O-The Rock Island
low rate excursion for the purpose of
stimulating emigration into the West
was a grand success. Over 700 people
awaited themselves of the chance to
come west at a moderate cost. Many
of these people will no doubt find
homes here, and the gratitude of the
state should be extended to the Rock
Island road. The second excursion
will be run on October 16, and emigra-
ton agents of the road say that it gives
promise of being one of the largest ex-
cursion ever run by any railroad.

they are still running in the columns
of the Republican press of the coun-
try:
w. r. Hearst, editor of the New
York Journal, an earnest "Bryanfte,' %
says that the paying of pensions to
soldiers is "militarism.'' "Militarism'
according to Bryan is one of the great
issues in this campaign. Veterans will
please take notice.
Such attempts as the ones indicated
are very fair example of what may
be t7rmed the Shiny hands in poll
tics and yet such are the methods of
the Republican press bureau.

Zen Thousand Found Graves rher,.

London, Oct. 15.-Wlth the Chinese
middle showing signs of clearing UP,
there is some opportunity of paying
attention to the quiet ending of the
war in South Africa. Out of thirty
thousand wounded, twenty-nine thou
sand have returned to duty. Such
quick recovery of such a large per-
centage of the wounded rather breaks
down Baron Bloch's theory that
modern war is impossible owing to its
slaughter, though it is true 10000 Brit
ish soldiers were killed in South Africa.

Instead O'Conner presented a telegram,
