Bryan Gains in Strength Every Day.
The New York World, which has
been considered antagonistic to
Bryan, in its issue of last Saturday
contains the following editorial:
"The action of the Indianapolis
Convention is one of the sigSs of an
intellectual and moral M Svement
which is to the advantage of the
Democratic candidate. :
"There is a great contrast between
the situation today and that Ct four
yearsago. In 1896 the indekendents
were practically all for Mr.. sMcKin-
ley; this year many of them are for
Bryan. Any change, indeed, must
have been favorable to the Demo-

most patriotic of his supporters o.

"The men who have turned away

As the Result of Being Thrown From
a Carriage.

Indianapolis. Ind, July "a special
to the Sentinel from Columbus, Ind,
says: Edward Mooney, senior member
of the firm of w. w. Mooney & Sons,
was thrown from a carriage during a
runaway last evening and so badly in
jured that his death occurred at mid
night.
Miss Sallie Talbot, Mr. Mooney
housekeeper, is perhaps fatally hurt:
She was unconscious at midnight and
the extent of her injuries could not be
determined.
Mr. Moneys two children and Miss
Gray, stenographer, were in the car
riage with him at the time of the acct
dent, and We're thrown out, but escaped
serious injury.
Mr.. Mooney was interested in the
largest tannery in the world, located
IN this city Three months ago his
father died at the advanced age of 80
years Mrs. Mooney, the mother, died
only two years ago. Mr.. Mooney was a
brother of Thomas Mooney of Louis

DEAD ARE FORGOTTEN
Secretary George Martin Finds That
to Be Fact.

when mans been dead a year, he's
awful dead
This statement was made today by
George W-Martin, secretary of the state
historical society and it was prompted
by the failure of individuals to furnish
to the secretary for publication, bio
graphieS of men who have died within
the last three years.
Omitted from the annual report of the
society which was issued today are bio
graphies of men which have been due in
the hands of the secretary for one, and
in some instances two years. The neg
lect in this matter prompted the secre-
tary to make the statement above quo
ted.
When a man dies" continued Mr.
Martin. there are many persons at the
time willing and able to furnish the
necessary information to the society.
The facts are that any number of men
are ready to perform this duty to the
society, but I want to say that when
man is buried and grows cold in the
ground it's a mighty hard matter to
get what the society needs have writ
ten 100 letters about some of these doc
uments which have been due for several
years but l have failed to secure them.
I presume after several years some one
will furnish the information which we
need and when the man is forgotten en-
tireiy, and the opportunity for pubiica-
ton lost
The sixth volume OF the reports from
today by Secretary Martin. This report
contains the addresses, proceedings and
memorials of the past year 1t shows
also that during the year there have
been added to the library ISL volumes of
books; 1882 unbound volumes and pam
phlets; 1,545 volumes of newspapers and
periodicals.; 1900 single newspapers; e9
maps. aliases and charts; 389 manu-
scripts; 200 pictures; 35 pieces of scrip,
currency and coin; sc relics and rniscel-
laneous contributions; 166 war relics
The total additions to the library for
the year, books, pamphlets and newspa-
pers number 1923 volumes. Only 253 of
these were purchased.
The list in the hands of the secretary
shows the publication in the state of
SO7 newspapers and other periodicals; 81
dailies, semi weeklies, 103 nnonthlies.
10 quarterlies, IL emi-monthlies, l bi-
monthly and occasionals.
Some disinterested persons have critf-
cised the mission of this society but that
it is useful, is shown by the fact that
from December u. 1899, to January IL
1900, month. there We're us visitors to
the newspaper room. The mission of the
historical society is a worthy one and
those who are knocking" against it to
not appreciate the value of the collec-
tons already made and the general
scope of the work which is being done.

FIGHT VACCINATION.
Cincinnati Health officials Have
Trouble With Negroes.

Cincinnati, July e.-Early this morn
ing Health Officer Davis. with 16 sani-
tary police, eight regulars and 16 doc
tors, arrived at California and estab-
lished a quarantine around the new wa
terwarks and began to vaccinate all the
negroes employed.
BY 10 o'clock 400 had been operated on
Some. however, absolutely refused to be
treated and had to be caught and held
by the officers while they struggled fur
iously to escape. Others, escaping to
the woods. hid in the tall weeds. The
officers lined up and began a systematic
search, and when a refugee was discov-
cred he would be run down and held IN
til a doctor arrived
When the tents of the night force
were visited, a wild scene ensued. When
rudely awakened they imagined they
were to be lynched, and at once began
TO proclaim their innocence. Some of
them had to be held down by several
men during vaccination.

Until the Mass of Baggage is Removed
From the Beach.

Seattle. Wash, July 9.1rwo steamers,
the Charles. Nelson and the Centennial,

At Peny river, he says, he saw men

many of them laughed at him. Fielder
has come down to purchase machinery

The Centennial reports that the barge

business in Nome harbor. The Centen-
NAL had nine passengers
Centennial passengers report that
four or five miles up and down ths
water front at Nome it is impossible to

many of the creeks are fabulously rich.

MOTT STREET AROUSED.
Cinnamon in New York Are Greatly
Excited.

New York. July 9-The Chinese mer-
chants of this city are said to be con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of calling
meeting of the prominent Chinese to
outline their Feelings toward the upris
ing of boxers in China and the conse-
quent endangering of American lives
and property.
Chinatown was anything but quiet
Sunday Mott and Pell streets were al
most impossible. Chinese who work
in other parts of this city f1ocked to the
quarters to hear the latest news. A
Chinese mission preacher who held
forth at the junction of Mott and Peil
streets spent some time explaining the
weeks developments in China.
At the Gospel tabernacle, DR.. Wang,
a convert of the Christian and Mission
Tfen Tsin, China, preached in the after
noon and evening. Before beginning his
sermon he outlined his idea of the sit
uation in China He said in part:
when left Tien Tsin on May II,
we expected this trouble to come, but
did not look for it SO soon. The fate of
missionaries in the danger district is
still unknown, but do not believe they
The thousands of native Christians in
northern China have even fewer
chances. The rioters hate them worse
than they do the missionaries Some
of them will be forced to give up their
new religion and may escape by that
means 1 believe, however, that most
martyrs of old China will doubtless
learn a valuable lesson from this trou-
Bile. The Chinese will see what civiliza-
ton can do with them. It will not make
them any easier to convert. They don't
want religion and no amount of war
will make them change their minds
Rev f. Bell of the Christian Mission
airy alliance cabled the station of the
alliance at Wuhu in Central China, ask
ing for Information about the mission
aries in the Pel1in district. He has re-
ceived news which leads him to believe
that there are at least missionaries Wis
iting at Pekin besides the five regularly
stationed there. The regular Pekin
force includes Miss D. NJ. Doan of AL
bany, Miss Amy Brown of Meadville.
Pa, Miss Anna Gowans of Scotland,
Miss H Rutherford and Rev. NJ. c.

tons beyond Pekin, at which there are
thirty-tWo European missionaries, most
of whom are from Sweden They have

these stations are in the greatest dan
ger, if, indeed, they have not already
been DESTROYED.

A BAD THING.
War With China Would Ruin Our

mand for wheat, oats, breadstuffs, horses

ITO show how remarka Bile has been the
necessary to give a few statistics as to
commercial relations for ten years. From
1889 to 1899 there was a gain Of 49, 2sS l68.
The increase was almost entirely in ex-
ports, which advanced in value from
4, 7gl. 12S in 1889 to $14 49S, 40 in 1899. Our
imports for 1899 amounting to $lS,6l9 ,26S,

Taking these figures as basis, It IS
easy to see that war would; for the time
being increase agricultural exports be

past ten years, but would practically stop
the expectation to China of other Amerl-
