Clayton's notification speech oc-

Clayton in delivering the notfica,

1t is hardly worth while to say sir,
that in the judgment of your party
associates and in the opinion of our
countrymen you, as our candidate, fit
our platform. And it is equally graf
flying that there is nothing in the
platform calling for apology.
There is nothing that you would
avoid or run away from. There is
nothing omitted that you need sup
ply by giving your individual view. In
these respects you have a tremendous
advantage of your republican oppon-
ent.
Standing on such a platform, pos
sessed of an abiding conviction that
our cause is just, you will draw the
keen blade of righteousness and
truth, throwing away the scabbard,
fight for the principle of equal rights
to all and special privilege to none.

RAISE INSURANCE RATES.
Canadian Companies to Recuperate
from Fernie Losses.

from Fernie Losses.
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 12.-Word
was received here this afternoon that
the Canadian Fire Underwriters asso-
citation today In Toronto considered
seriously the situation arising out OF
the 100000 losses sustained at the
Fernie fire, and increased rates were
decided upon. Partly for this rea-
son and partly because the association
regarded existing rates on grain in
elevators in the western provinces too
low, 1t was decided to increase the
rates 33 per cent on that class Of
insurance, to become effective imme-
dlately on all new policies written.
The present rate on this business is
90 cents. and the new rate will be
s1.32. The report of the increase in
grain and elevator fire insurance rates
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta was received here with conster-
nation.
In local insurance circles It is ex-
planned that adjusters from Toronto
and Montreal, Seattle and Vancouver
have gone to Fernie to adjust losses.
Much of this loss will fall on Pacific
coast companies. They too will reap
part OF the increased premiums from
he grain and elevator service in the
lcific provinces, due to the new
order of things.

RIBBONS EASY TO RENEW.
No Need to Be Always Buying Mill
Ecry Trimmings.

Renovation where millinery is con-
cerned should never be put off till the
necessity fCr renewed trimmings is
sufficiently obvious to shame the
wearer into the inexcusable extrava-
gance of investing in fresh punches of
flowers or new bows of ribbons. This
expense ca1 often be avoided if the
materials-5Ood at the outset-are
taken care of, ribbon being made to
look almost as good as new by judi
cious sponGing.
Black ribbon lends itself we'll to
sponging aGd pressing, which not only
smooths out the creases and restores
the color, but to a great extent re-
moves the traces of the hat pin holes,
which do more to age hat than any
thing else. An excellent method of
renewing black taffeta ribbons is that
of placing it to soak in a bowlfull of
tepid water adding a dessertspoonful
of ammonia to every pint of water
When the ribbon is perfectly satu-
rated it should be laid on a wooden.
unvarnished table, and slowly
smoothed with a piece of sponge in
one direction, the ribbon being pressed
firmly meanwhile, so as to make it ad.

titled woman from across the Atlantic
was making a trip through the unex-
plored region north of Edmonton, with
only Indian guides for her compan-
ions. Countess de st. Pierre, who is in
Seattle at present, in speaking of the
struggle, said:
For time the honors of war were
about even, and so intent were the
participants upon the fight that they
did not notice the approach of the In
dian guide and myself. We had been
breaking trail through a heavily
wooded forest, the Indian making his
way through the timber and under
brush without any more noise than the
occasional cracking of a twig beneath
his moccasins. Following his instruc-
lions, placed my feet in the tracks
left by his moccasins, and in this way
we were able to advance quietly.
My first impulse when 1 came upon
the four wolves fighting desperately
with the bear was to shoot 1 raised
my rifle, but suddenly the spirit of the
struggle seemed to take possession OF
me and motioned to the guide to drop
behind fallen tree. From the con
cealment thus afforded we watched the
battle for several minutes.
THE timber wolves assailed the bear
on all sides, swapping viciously at his
heels and springing away before the
slow-moving bruin could turn. AS the

FLOWERS FOR THE SICK.
Things to Remember When Sending
Cheering Gift.

When choosing flowers to send to
sick friends remember that the two
necessary qualifications are that they
have only faint odor and that they
are variety of flower that is lasting.
Carnations probably give more sat
isfaction than any other flower, and
the odor is refreshing
Roses, lilies of the valley and violets
are all suitable for a sick room, but
they do not keep fresh long. They
will keep much better, however, if
they are removed from the sickroom
every night.
Put them in a cool place and cut
the stems, then fill the vases with
fresh hot water in which a pinch of
salt has been dissolved
This will not only make the fra
GRANGE last, but will freshen the flow.

When a family takes possession of
