Now the name of Gen. Jacob H.
Sharp of Lowndes county has been
suggested in connection with the
treasurership of the state. Don't!
Gen. Sharp is good man, and he is
no more fit for that hoo-doO office
than a rabbit is for long pants. He
is too old and too honest to recog-
nize u spOok if he should meet one
in the road.

Writ Adams is again after the
4azoO and Mississippi Valley and
the Gulf and Ship Island railroad for
back taxes. These roads are either
trying to crawfish ont of paying their
just taxes or the revenue agent has a
natural greed to pile upon the already
large pile he has made out of these
back taxes.

Judge Neville has not said any
thing even to this blessed day. He
is in the hands of his friends, and, by
the way, his friends have their hands
full If they expect to have him
elected governor. He has not yet
stated whether or not he would be a
candidate, but the probability is he
will not. He is a good man, but does
not live in the right part of the state.
He must live in north Mississippi or
at least In the central part and must
have the pull of the correspondent
bureau at Jackson before he can con-
slider for IA moment his intention for
running for governor. Then again,
as the Progress has often stated, he
is doing the state too great service
as a judicial officer to make him
governor. We do not doubt his

: Walked Out of Jail.

Charles Grether and Benjamin Aiello,
two convicted murderers, broke out of
Monroe county Jail at Stroudsburg at an
early hour yesterday morning. The cell
doors, it is said, were faulty, and the
two murderers walked out of Jail with
out much trouble. The last seen of the
two men was at North Water Gap. A
posse is after them.
Sheriff Mervine's twelve-year-old son
discovered the escape. Shortly before T
o'clock he went into the yard on the
north side of the jail and found an iron
door leading into the Jail open. AT once
an investigation was made and the alb
sence of the two men was discovered
Grether was arrested in September
last for shooting Adam Strunk, who at
tempted to arrest him for the robbery of
the Carlton House at North Water Gap.
His trial recently resulted in verdict
Of murder in the first degree. Aielo
was convicted of murder in the second
degree for shooting Henry Labar at
Gravel Place on June % last. His trial
was concluded last week.

there is much interest in the coming
Democratic state convention which will
be held In Erie on the 25th Inst. 1t is
anticipated that there will be a large
crowd in attendance, aud that there
will be spirited rivalry for the nomina-
tion for the governorship.
Throughout the west and the north
west generally, there is strong senti-
ment among the Democrats In favor Of
the nomination of Robert E Pattison
for governor. He is looked upon here
as the most likely candidate.
Former Judge Gordon, OF Philadel-
phia; Senator J. Henry Cochran, of Ly-
coming; Congressman j. k. p. Hall, of
Elk, and George w. Guthrie, of Allie
gheny, are among others mentioned for
the nomination for governor.
Congressman Hall, with other Penn
sylvania Democratic leaders, spent yes
terday at Atlantic City in discussing the
policy of their party in the approaching
campaign. Those present included
George w. Guthrie and William j. Bren-
nan, of Pittsburg; Robert K. Wright, of
Allentown; exCongressman Kerr, Of
Clearlield; ex-State Chairman Strana-
han, of Harrisburg; Dallas Sanders,
Charles P. Donnely and John J. Green,
Philadelphia.
AT this conference Congressman Hall
declared he would not be candidate
for governor. His retirement left the
field open for Pattison, who is now the
choice of the party leaders to oppose
Judge Pennypacker. They want George
w. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, to accept the
nomination for lieutenant governor, and
Mayor Vance Mccormick, OF Harris
burg, for secretary of internal affairs.
In the state convention this legIs-
lative district will be entitled to four
delegates, and a spirited battle is being
waged by the several asprants for tho
honor. The state delegates will be
chosen at Hazeton on Thursday.
Among the names mentioned so far are
II. A. Shovlin, j. p, and George Nc
Laughlin, Esq, Freeland; John j. Nc
Neis and NJ. 2. Campbell, j. p, Foster;
Daniel McKelvey, j. P, Halle; James
Holman, Con O'Donnell, Nicholas

If You Have Pain In Your Back
Do Not Be Deceived You Have
Kidney Trouble, and You
Do Not Need Physician
to Tell You SO.

Let us give you piece of advice:
Pain in the back is an almost infalible
sign of kidney disease; surer sign is
the condition of your urine. If you
have a pain in the back then look to the
condition of your urine. 1t is easily
done. Take glass tumbler and fill it
with urine, after it has stood "a hours;
If it has IL sediment, if it is milky or
cloudy, if it is pale or discolored, stringy
or. ropy, your kidneys and bladder are
in a dangerous condition and need i'm
mediate attention, or the consequences
may prove fatal.
DR.. David Kennedys Favorite Rem
edy is the one medicine that really
cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
sia and chronic constipation, and it will
take you but short tria! to convince
yourself of its wonderful curative power.
G. f. Sammer of No. 400 Tioga street,
Syracuse, n. Y, in recent letter says:
Il was afflicted for years with
severe pains in my back and kid
neys. | tried many doctors and
many medicines, but got no relief;
for over two years | scarcely had
good nights rest on account of
backache in most distressing form.
| bought a bottle of DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy and com
menced to use it, aud | must say
never imagined should find such
wonderful cure. Why | feel like
young man again in spite of my 50
years"

BUYERS DAY in THE GRAIN PIT
BEARS FOUND TOO MANY
Factors AGAINST THEM
Firm Cables and Very Light Receipts
More Than Offset the Bearsh
Weather Conditions.

Chicago May Sit was buyers day In
the grain markets today There was much
hesitation early on weather conditions, hut
the situation did not warrant fresh
pressure; cash business was good and
prices made good advances. July wheat
closed %dA up. july corn 9sd7i higher
and July oats q advanced. Provisions
closed 12ia to 80 cents higher.
Bears, who had been hammerlng wheat
prices on favorable weather conditions,
found too many bull factors arrayed against
them today. The weather was good over
nearly all the wheat belt and statistical
journals issued bearishly favorable crop
news, hut receipts were very small and the
cash situation was very strong. Cables
also were comparatively firm when yester-
days depression was taken into account.
After an early sccsaw In prices. bulls took
hold firmly and worked advances. The
cash situation gradually developed a
strength that traders say Will probably
influence speculation for some time. Ele.
latois have all the wheat In sight. the
country is Offering little and the elevator
people nave sold much OF their holdings
at July prices rather than at the lower
May prices. The result has been scarcity
OF casa wheat az the recently current May
figures. Today May prices In outside mar
kcts advanced above Iuly and at one time
here almost eQualcd them. Added to this
was a good corn strength. Good cash sales
