The Democrats of Ohio in J their
State convention held at Columbus
last week, were very hard on Mr..
Bryan and free silver. 1t is now
said that the silver wing of the
Democratic party of that State
will resent the insult, as they say,
was offered Bryan, and put up a
ticket for the sole purpose of
defeating the majority and who
are the regular nominees. Mr..
Bryan has twice been de.
feated for the highest Office in the
gift of the people, and be should re-
tire to its ranks. Will he do this
is question, or will he help it to
defeat because his personal within is
not respected? We believe heSwill
and that he will be against the next
Democratic nominee for President
If he is not free silver man and the
platform does not embrace the free
silver plank.

Kansas will suffer more than any
other State from the drouth tba,
has prevailed. The hot: east winds
have burned up the crops. 1t is
said the prospects now are only for
crop of $4,000, 900 bushels Of
corn. Last years crop was 1884,
100000, and the previous year
277,000, 900. The loss of hay and
potatoes is also great. 1t is esti-
mated that Kansas and Missouri
have lost more than $50, 900, 600 by
the drouth. With failure of the
corn crop throughout the South,
which is almost as bad as it is in
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and
other Northen States, the price of
corn will go up out of sight, and
the Southern farmers will be the
greatest sufferers. @ sdliasg

THE day was when men of promi-
l. nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains trus TODAY
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignifed representative of the
Presby terian church in the person of
Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to
state publicly that he has used Peruna
in his family and found it cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rev. Smith is supported by an
elder in his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ca,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth. My little boy
seven years of age had been suffering
for some time with catarrh of the low
er bowels. Other remedies had failed,
but after taking two bottles of Peruna
The Winslow mail., 1901-02-21

the trouble almost entirely disap-
peared. For this special malady con-
slider it well nigh specific. As tonic
for weak and worn out people it has
few or no equals. Rev. E. G. Smith.
Mr.. NJ. j. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyteri church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in recent
letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of
| Columbus. Ohio, writes as follows:
''For long time was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no re-
lief. Peruna was recommended to me
by several friends, and after using
few bottles l am pleased to say that the
| long looked for relief was found and
am now enjoying better health than
have for years, and can heartily recon-
mend, Peruna to all similarly afflicted.
1t is certainly grand medicine. M.
j. Rossman.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
| isfactory results from the use OF Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

.I asked to see DR.. Henderson," he
continued, 'at which the sleepy clerk
stared at me in open-mouthed amaze
ment. DR.. Henderson was not in; it
was quite uncertain wnen he would
be in. Indeed, as far as / was able
to judge, DR.. Henderson appears to be
rather mysterious parsonage. No
one knows much about him. Even his
clerk admits that he has seen him
only once or twice in the IS months
during which he has had charge of
the Office. The doctor attends to the
manufacturing part of the business
himself; his laboratory, which is
down in the cellar, is most jealously
guarded place. No one is ever adj
nitted to it under any pretext. He is
evidently afraid that some one may
remedies
"You say that as if your words were
meant to convey some unexpressed
meaning" said Dunlap, studying the
reporters face.
NO." Sturgis answered, thought
some ulterior significance to the
facts. There is certainly something
mysterious about Dr. Henderson and
the Manhattan Chemical company;
but whether the mystery is legitimate
or not, and if not, whether it is in any
way connected with the Arbogast
case, is more than 1 am at present
able to determine"
After short pause he continued:
when l found that there was no
chance of seeing DR.. Henderson him
self, l. inquired at a venture for the
manager. For an instant a puzzled
look lent expression to the otherwise
: vacuous features of the young man.
Then sudden inspiration seemed to
come to him. oh! all! yes,' he ex-
claimed, you mean Mr.. Smith Yes
said |, catching at a straw. We'll, but
Mr.. Smith is not in, ether 1 offered
to wait for Mr.. Smith, and started to-
ward the door of the private office in
the rear, because it bore in prominent
letters the inscription: NO ADMIT
TANCE.' 1 had turned the knob be-
fore the clerk could stop me; but the
door was locked. Mr.. Smith, it seems,
comes to the office only once week to
receive the clerks report and to pay
him his salary. / tried to make spe-
cial appointment to meet Mr.. Smith, on
the plea of important business. | left
fictitious name and address SO that
Mr.. Smiths answer might be sent to
me. That was all | was able to do for
the time being; but l thought it worth
while to keep an eye open on the Man
haitian Chemical company; so [ have
engaged private detectives to watch it
for me night and day until further no.
tice. And there the matter stands"
Dunlap rose wearily from his chair.
He looked anxious and careworn.
"Mr. Sturgis," he said, eff you can
find any part of that $250,C0O, good
share of whatever you can recover
for the bank is yours
The reporter flushed and bit his lip;
but he answered quietly:
you mistake me for detective. Mr..
Dunlap; l am only reporter. 1 shall
be paid by the Tempest for any work 1
may do on this case. You would bet
ter offer your reward to the police"

CHAPTER XIV.
TWO LOVERS.

Miss Murdock was seated at the piano
in the drawing-room, her shapely fin
gers wandering dreamily over the keys,
when a servant knocked at the door.
"a gintleman to see yer, MISS said
the maid.
ga caller!" exclaimed Agnes, in sur
prise. "At this time of day? Did he
give you his card?"
''No, miss. Nor his name, nayther."
well, then, Mary" said Agnes, with
a mixture of amusement and severity,
why do you announce him? / think
you would better keep an eye on the
hat-rack."
''He amt no thafe, MISS" said the
maid, positively; she do be dressed up
too foine fur that. Besoides, Olive sane
him here before. A hansum young
feller wild rid -NIister-Mister-
Cha-Chapman.''
''Chatham!" suggested Agnes, with
sudden seriousness.
'sYis, miss; 1t do be the same"
i cannot receive him." said Miss
Murdocll, in. frigid tones. 81 am sur
prised that John should have admitted
him, after the explicit instructions I
gave him yesterday. Hereafter l am
never at home to Mr.. Chatham"
Your butler is not at fault in this
instance" said voice from the hall
way, and before either of the women
T could recover from her surprise, a
T flashily dressed young man with in
| tensely red hair entered the room. He
| carried his left arm in sling. His
face was pale; his eyes glittered with
a feyerish light; his voice quivered
with repressed excitement.
81 was waiting for your father in
his Office, when l heard your maid &c
| by, and [ asked her to announce me
l hoped for, but L can hardly say
expected more hospitable recep-
ton"
Miss Murdocll after the first shock
of surprise, had drawn up her grace
| ful figure TO its full height, and stood
looking at the young man with undis
! guised contempt in her flashing eyes
Chatham paused as if expecting {
reply; and then:
"Shall [ explain the object of my
visit before your servant?" he asked
bitterly.
'You may leave, Mary, until l ring
for YOU" said the young girl, turning
to the maid.
The woman reluctantly left the
room. casting curious glances upo1
her young mistress and her unwel
come guest as she went.
Chatham made motion as if tt
take chair; but Agnes remained sig
nificantly standing.
Perhaps" she said, coldly, ''yol
will be good enough to explain al
briefly as possible your object in fore
ing your presence upon me in this un
gentlemanly way?"
L suppose my conduct does strik'
you as ungentlemanly," said th'
young man, piteously; "Sbut what coult
! I do? 1 love you devotedly, madly
