If he were convinced that no Demo- crat could be elected. he would take the nominationi for5 the purpose of holding the party together in line with his, ideas. If he were confident that he could be electedg lie would be candi- date with the view of putting into exc. cution his policies. If he were not con- fident of his own election, but believed that some other Democrat could be elected, he would. under no conditions. seek the nomination, but would lend his support to the stronger man.
 The field ofT possible candidates as seen by observant Democrats Is limit ed, yet larger than that of the Republi- can Party Heading the list is Mir. Bryan, who, 1t seems. can get the nonl- ination if he really wants 1t. Follow ing in order of their strength, assum- ing always that Mir. Bryan will support a candidacy rather than his own, are Charles A. Towne, of New York; Judson Harmon, of Ohio; Senator Culberson, of Texas; Governor Johnson, of Minne- sota; Senator Daniel, of Virginia. and Governor Hoke Smith. of Georgia
 It is understood that MT. Bryan would not oppose the candidacy of any of these men if he should not decide to seek the nomination himself. and that he might be inclined to withdraw from the field If any one of this list should develop sufficient strength to give as- surance of the nomination and indicate fair prospect of election.

Towne His PreferenceT

It is believed by many that he would prefer the nomination oe Towne. If not a candidate himself. but 1t is doubtful whether he would exercise any personal influence" in favor of one against a group of men, none of whom is unsat- isfactory to him, except as he might be influenced by his judgment as to which might stand the best chance of election.
 There is little doubt that If the South could overcome its apprehension as to the wisdom of nominating a Southern man. Mir. Culberson would become an active and strong candidate. It is certain that he is not disinclined to accent support and but for the preju- dice against selecting a Southern can didate, he would undoubtedly be active- ly in the field.
 In many respects Judson Harmon is very attractive as candidate. He Is a man of a great deal of temperament and quality of Judge Gray, of Della ware, and has the advantage from the point of view of practical politics of having voted for MT. William J. Bryan twice for the Presidency, while Judge Gray bolted the ticket. Notwithstand- ing Mir. Harmon party loyalty; now ever there has been apprehension on the part of his friends that his nomin- ation would be opposed by Bryan be- cause he was a member of the Cleve- land administration and is essentially His record in the San ta Fe cases. however established his position with the element insisting ipon the enforcement of laws in re- straint of trusts and corporation con spiracy and the recent association be- tween him and MT. Bryan is accepted as indicating that Mir. Bryan at least has no distinct feeling of hostility to- ward him.

SINGULAR
EVIDENCE
OF CRIME

In a letter to a relative residing
at Yakima, says the Daily Republic
of that place, a Minnesota woman
tells of a remarkable sequel to a
crime committed at Red Falls, Mimi.
two years ago and which caused a
great sensation at the time. The
case was that of young girl found
murdered in a most brutal manner.
She was well known in Red Falls,
where she belonged to a prominent
family. The circumstances of the
crime pointed suspicion to two ne
groes who had been seen in the vi
cinity about the time the murder was
committed, but the suspects never
caught and the crime has gone un-
punished.
Practically the only clue the police
had TO work upon was of the slight
est character. When the girl was
found she held tightly in her hand
the broken half of q hat pin. The
pin had been splintered in breaking
and 1t looked as though she had used
the pin as a weapon of defense and
that the pin had broken off in the
assailant's body.
Two weeks ago a prominent young
man of Red Falls and who had been
keeping company with the murdered
girl, was taken to a hospital to be
operated upon for appendicitis. In
the course of the operation the sur
geon discovered long piece of hat
pin EMBEDDED in the mans side. II
was removed and the police hearing
OF the find, got the piece OF pin and
found that its broken end exactly fit-
ted into the end of the pin found in
the girls hand. The young man who,
by the way, took a leading part In
the effort to discover the supposed
will be arrested on capt.
tai charge as soon as he can leave
his bed.

SHOTGUN
SHELLS
zlsO a Few Figures Concerning Them
and Their Use

F1auser Bros, the sporting goods
Ilrin has just received consignment
sE shotgun shells preparatory to the
epening of the hurting season. The
ipt consists of 60,500 shells, and a
few figures concerning them are not
Ievoid of interes'. These shells load
4t represent 4,250 pounds of shot
and powder as follows: Infallible
I15 pounds; Ballistile % pounds;
DUPONT 120 pounds; Black 110
peunds. There are 10000 card
5ohrd and 10000 felt wads; and
the brass shells weigh $50 pounds.
In a ~ gauge shell 450 shot con-
H<ftute the load; and this would give
1H the total number of shot 27,-
22b 900.
The shells are two and one-half
inches in length, and placed on top
OF each other, they would reach a
auariter of mile higher than Mt.
Hood.
The shells are made by the Selby
smelling Co., of San Francisco. They
are loaded by the Chamberlain ma
chino (not our George's) which fin
isbes $4,000 shells an hour This
machine is so nicely gauged that the
vafiation of one grain in weight. or
the one-sixteenth of an inch In thick
ness or depth of the load, will throw
the machine out of gear-it being
the only machine known In San
Francisco that refuses to graft, or
stand for a rake off.
The shells are packed in boxes OF
25 TO the box, the work being done
by girls who put up 1000 shells an
hour.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, "as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitution
|al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an in1amed condition OF the mu-

 Many other statesmen of the south have spoken to this same effect. "The ClanSman," however, is not pri- marily political play, but a love TO- nance of critical era in southern history.
