that will force 1t into taking some
step to save the Beers from extinc.

enough on the ground to deliver a
crushing blow, and in order to gain
time for the English, 1t is allowing

GOLD STANDARD LAMBAsTED.

Hon. W. B. Vaudiver of Missouri,
made powerful speech against
the gold standard, of which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
Against this policy, sir, against
all of this reckless and shameful
surrender of the Republican party
to the gold syndicate, the trust
syndicate and the imperial bosses,
we erect the standard of the peo.
pie and proclaim the Chicago plat
form the embodiment of the wis
dom and patriotism Of the great
mass of the American people. That
platform was a second Declaration
of independence, aud it viii be re-
affirmed without abatement in the
next national Democratic conven.
tion. It's declaration in favor Of
the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio Of
l6 to | will offer some hope for a
continual enlargement of the fnan-
Cial basis, on which all permanent
prosperity must rest. Its candid
declaration against the enCroach-
ments of the federal courts will be
strengthened by a further and
much stronger declaration against
the dangerous aud diabolical en-
Croachment of the trusts upon the
business and prosperity of the pri.
vate citizen, and the doctrine that
all meH are bern free and equal
that all governments derive theiI
just powers from the consent o.
the governed, will again kindle the
fame of human liberty and pro
claim to all the world that this il
still to be a republic and not an EN-
pire, a friend and not a foe of othe
peoples struggling to establish re
publican governments in othe
quarters of the globe. This shal
be our slogan, and no man who's
faith is weak in these great princi
Piles Of our party should be truste,
with its leadership, either in th
nation or any congressional dis
trict in the Union. With thes,
principles emblazed on our banner
and under the matchless Leadership
and magic name of William ]. Bry
an, of Nebraska, we will again give
you battle, confident in the ulti
mate triumph of truth over false
hood and justice and wisdom owe

Pictures of Electricity.

The photography of lightning is
sciences latest achievement. These
are called "eIectrographs," and are
considered of great value in the flu
ture knowledge of electricity. 1t is
well known that person struck by
lightning bears an impression re.
sembling tree, The electrograph
has proved that this is because
lightning itself has a tree like shape
which always leaves a vivid impres.
sion wherever it strikes. In this re,
spect it is similar to the famous
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which also leaves its impress
son-that of health-upon every
one who uses 1t. This great spe.
citic is for all stomach ills such as
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness,
malaria, kidney trouble, and all all.

digestion, 1t will not offend the

A sensible young lady made the
following request of her friends;
"Do not lay me down by the rip

over epitaphs, distract me; but let
my sleep be under the counter of

THEY LAUGHED AT THE REPORT.
The 7. S. & N. Much Sold Road From
Published Reports.

sd --
There has been going the rounds
of the press, a notice that the I. s.
& N. road has sold out.
First it was reported that MIR.
Edenborn had purchased the road
and would consolidate it with his
Red River Valley road. This way
promptly denied by the official of
the T. S. & N. road.
Again we find that the Gould's
Iron Mountain interest, has pur
chased the road, and they would
take charge on the lst of March.
With these reports, the reporter
started out this morning to learn
what he could about the sale, if any
had been made.
He first encountered Chief Clerk
Staiti, at the foot of the steEs, and
inserted his pump into this official,
but the young man has learned
enough about railroading to keep a
still tongue and he didn't know as
much as a wooden Indian about the
reports. We left Mr.. Staiti and
sought Col, Kress, the superinten-
dent, The Colonel was at his desk,
nursing a Cyrano de Bergerac nose,
made so by case of erysipelas.
The Colonel laughed at the report,
said he had read them in the
papers, and he did not know any.
thing more about it than did the re
porter. Mr.. Gaines the Auditor
said he had not been notified, and i
such a deal was on hand he would
come pretty near knowing it.
We can only add that the infor
nation we gathered from the Of
dcials of the road would throw nj
light on the reported sale, excep'
the information was more thai
otherwise.
