Zimmerman, Tom l.. johnson and
Lentz other speakers-JOhnsOn
Thought to BE Out for Hanna's
Place.
Urbana. o., Aug. 5.-Four leading
Democrats opened the Ohio campaign
here to-day, two weeks in advance of
the Democratic state convention.
William ]. Bryan had been engaged
to address the Urbana Chautauqua
Assembly this afternoon and the DEM
ocrats of Champaign county held their
convention on the Chautauqua grounds
during the forenoon, at which addresses
were made by Mr.. Bryan, John L.
Zimmerman of Springfield, Mayor Tom
L. Johnson Of Cleveland, and ex-Con-
gresham John J. Lentz, of Columbus
The addresses all attracted atten-
ton because of the direct references
to certain men as well as to politics
on which there are differences within
the party. Bryan referred to eX-Presi-
dent Cleveland repeatedly.
Mr. Zimmerman referred to the faith
ers of Democracy, and the eternal
principles of the party. Then came
Mayor johnson, and x-Congressman
Lentz in emphatic declarations that
this was no time for dead issues"
The "keynotes of the last two speak
ers were not in accord with those Of
Mr.. Zimmerman, whose managers had
secured the Champaign county dele
gates for the nomination before Mayor
Johnson reached the tabernacle. This
is Mr.. Zimmerman's home county, and
the convention stood 1870 to so for
Zimmerman.
Bryan Makes n Roast.
Mr.. Bryan received the greatest ova-
ton when he said:
The Democrats in 1892 played a
confidence game on the people and
put a bunco steerer at the head of the
party. l want to say to you, my
friends, that the disreputable man
who stands on the street curbing and
leads the unwary traveller into a game
able compared with the man who ac-
cepts the SURFACES of 5000 900 of peo-
pie and then leads them into Wall
street to be betrayed.
Don't be deceived when they tell
you it was the silver question that
drove people out Of the party. Those
who left the Democratic party are
divided into two classes-those who
left because they understood the issue
in the campaign, and those who left
because they were deceived in the is
sue of the campaign. Those who I'M
derstood the issue and left because
| they understood it can never return to
| the party until they repent and show
| that their hearts and sympathies are
! changed. The fight will continue in
this country until one side or the other
is triumphant"
He said he had more respect for a
| Republican than for any one calling
| himself a Democrat, who would put
| his principles on the auction block or
! into a junk shop"
The speech of Mayor johnson was
accepted as indicating that he was a
receptive candidate for Senator Han
mas place. Mayor johnson intimated
that if he ran for Governor, his plat
form would be reduced fares on all
railways, in addition to his well known
views on taxation.

How Famous Gunmakef Came g

DIR. Calling himself once wrote how
the inspiration for the Calling gun
came to him. He said:
II was living at Indianapolis, Ind.
when the civil war broke out. One day
went down to the indianapolis depot
and saw there eighteen newly arrived
boxes containi'O; the bodies Of dead sol
diers. Around each of them was a lit
tie company OF mourners. | made In
quiries concerning the dead men, Only
three of them had been killed by bull
lets. The rest had died of disease
They had lain around In unhealthy
camps, and the exposure had been just
five times as deadly as the enemy's bull
let's. | made up my mind that some
thing should be done to make wal
quicker and more decisive. 1t might
kill more men with bullets, but II
would save many times more from dis
ease. So perfected the rapid fire

adapted later to sowing wheat In drills
In 1874 he moved to st. Louis, and fol
a year he worked as a clerk. in a dry
goods store. While so employed he en-
gagged skillful mechanic to construct
several Of his sowing machines. In
1S45 he gave up everything else and
devoted himself entirely to planning
and getting out his inventions.
Aside from his ability as an inventor,
his friends speak of DR.. Calling as a
student and philosopher. He studied
medicine merely to be able to take care

DINNERS WITHOUT FOOD,
Latest Fad. Of American and Eng
ltsh Ultra EashiOnables.

Hostesses In England ndAmerica are
complaining about new fad affected
by the ultra fashionables, says the New
York Press. Instead of dlning with
relish and appearing to appreciate the
carefully selected viands, the guests OF
today refuse almost everything offered
and often with an impatient shrug'
Frequently woman will take only
bit Of lettuce and glass Of champagne
although as a rule men are above TINS
senseless folly and dine with naturai'
ness and enjoyment.
TO reject every course it is necessary
to have dined earlier. but there Is
slight advantage in not dining to eat
Conversation is far more brilliant ana
active when shad and SQUAD are not
monopolizing the attention OF the
guests. This tendency to spurn the din-
ner may point to the prophecy OF
freak scientist who prophesled tina.
In ten years we would have attained
degree Of culture that would foron
the vulgarity Of eating in the presence
Of others.
