There Will be large ana notable
gathering of the voters of this city and
couaty at the corner of Chapline and
Twenty-ninth streets, this evening, to
listen to a discussion of the issues Of
the present campaign by two distin-
guished orators, Captain Patrick
OFarrell and Hon. Jacob Ingenthron,
the former a distinguished soldier Of
the civil war and four years ago a
speaker for the Republican cause, and
the latter a Germau-American orator
of much more than usual ability.
A platform will be provided for the
occasion, and the meeting will be call
ed to order by DR.. j. w. Marley, who
will introduce Mayor A. T. Sweeney as
Chairman. Mayor Sweeney will make
a brief address and in turn present to
the audience the speakers of the eve
ming. This will be the occasion of the
final speech in this city by Mr.. 1ngen-
thron, as he will leave Immediately for
Chicago, to fill important engagements
in the Northwest.
Captain O'Farrell is very eloquent
speaker. His recent address at Ben
wood Wednesday evening, and his ora
ton at Parkersburg Thursday evening
won for him the greatest admiration,
and the most enthusiastic applause.
For years he has been noted as a CAM
paign debater, but during this contest
his reputation was fxed by the adj
dress he delivered in Cooper Union, New
York City, early in the contest, upon
which occasion he said in part:
In conclusion, l appeal to my old
time Republican friends-yes, and to
men of my own blood and race; yes
and to the Germans, and TO all Others
VINO came here TO seek that liberty
which was denied us in our native
lanus; yes, and l appeal to my old
comrade soiuiers, who marched with
me to Appomattox; yes, and the general

see on this platform tonight. THE
| speaker here seized General McIvor by
| the hand. The great audience seemed
to catch the inspiration and fairly
Jumped to their feet, cheering and
nurrahing for several minutes.

who did the fighting, not to the car

THE trusts and a few millionaires
have the Grand Old Party by the
throat. These corrupt, inscriptions
politicians have shunted it from the
constitutional track. Let the plain peo-
pie, the common people, the sovereign
people-Republicans and Democrats
rally to the standard of William j
Bryan, who is brave and courageous
man of the Lincoln type-an American
who believes in American principles
who is the same to-day as he was four
or six years ago. You and | may differ
with him about dollars and tariffs, but
we admire his courage and honesty

GiIIette's Latest Success.

Next Friday evening, October 9Th,
at the Opera House, Because She
Loved Him So" will have its second
presentation in this city. It was writ
ten originally by Bissor and Leclereq.
They had taken for their theme that
dear one TO French writer's of farce
matrimonial jealousy, and the story
that they had devised was that Of a
suspicious young wife who went to her
parents for sympathy, and by doing so
precipitated them into a worse row
than her own. The third contributor
to the play was William Gillette. and
he made an English version devoid Of
the immodest vulgarity which many
Parisians and few Americans have
liking for. 1t is about as merry as
anything an audience ever laughed at
without needing to be ashamed Of It
afterward. The same excellent cast
has been re-engaged for this season.

The settlement Of the Pacific Railroad
Indebtedness is also to be ranked as one
of the greatest achievements Of Presi-

grave doubts whether the government
would succeed in being reimbursed, even
In part, the vast sun expended by the
| United States in aid of their construction.
Yet the Mckinley administration, by a
firm and business-like course, achieved
great success.
Out of an Indebtedness of about $780,
600, 900, more than one-half of which
consisted Of accrued interest, the govern

AGRICULTURE.
Good Work Done for Farmers
by Mckinley.

The diseases of farm animals have re-
ceived special study in the Department
Of Agriculture in the last four years.
Nearly 100000 doses Of blackleg vac
cine have been distributed among the
farmers and cattle owners in the infected
districts, with the result that the mortal
ity among the young cattle in the infect
ed districts has been reduced from ten to
fifteen per cent annually to one-half of
one per cent. In the case of sheep, the
gasoline process for eXterminating para
sites has met with great success. In hog
cholera and swine plague seventy to
eighty per cent of treated animals have
been saved.
Butter, Eggs and Pork.
Encouraging results nave been reached
in the shipment of butter and eggs to
England and also remote points in Asia.
The inspection Of pork advanced from
%, 1900, $50 in 1896 to los, OPS, 195 in 1899,
or nearly 500 per cent.
Aiming to create a home supply Of

1896 to $13,470 in 1899.

Introduction a large number Of improved
products have been added to American
cultivation, notably a resistant alfalfa
from Turkestan, a drought-resisting
grass from southern Russia, and several
cereals adapted to the arid regions.
Porto Rico md the Philippines.
AS soon as Porto Rico began to be Of
special interest an exhaustive report was
prepared on the Of that island,
setting forth in the fullest possible man
ner the character Of the trade carried on
with the several foreign countries, and
especially with the United States.
Later a report of 100 pages was pub
lished regarding the trade of the Philip
pines, embracing practically all the avail
able statistics on the subject that could
be collated from the official import and
export returns Of the various countries
enjoying commercial intercourse with the
islands.
Owing to the scarcity of reliable data
relative to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, the preparation of the re-
ports on these former Spanish posses
sions required a vast amount of research.
Grasses and Forage Plants.
Experiments with grasses and forage
plants have been vigorously prosecuted
during the past three years. These ex-
periments are necessary in order that
ranchcrs and farmers may be informed
of the kinds suitable for their respective
districts. After these preliminary facts
are determined the promising varieties
can be recommended and adopted with
!, out further and useless expenditure of
