ALLEN A LOGICAL OPPONENT
Republicans Have the Ground AVork
litttd for a Thorough Cuu>a*s
of the State.
Hallettsville. Lavaca Co., Tex., Sept. 18.—
tThe republicans held the boards at the
fcourt house last night. H. H. Allen, esq.,
/was the first speaker and he explained to
those present why he had abandoned the
democratic party, under the banner ol
fwhich he has in times gone by waged and
•Won many a battie in Lavaca county. At
• he conclusion of his remarks lie introduced
Jdr. K. B. Ilaw ley. the republican nominee
for congress, who in a businesslike manner
jjroceedt'd to tell his hearers wh> lu was
h republican and why he was persuaded to
Relieve that the peuph of Texas should
|iow support the candidates of thai party.
He declared that the issues to-du> were
Jiew ones and iu no particular as ot old
und that the issues in this campaign are
•constitutional government ami sound
money, as opposed to debased money, and
ihat the tariff question was a secondary
one. which, however, at the hands ot the
republicans would have proper attention,
claiming that the Wilson bill was but «i
l»er cent less on an average than the M<'-
Xinley bill and that the Wilson l»ill was the
death blow to southern industries, such
us lumber, wool, rice, sugar and cattle, all
of which had been protected by the re-
publicans, but stabbed to death in the
Bouth by the democrats, while industries
elsewhere had been fostered. He scored
PTillman, Altgeld and Bryan and that part
of the Chicago platform in particular
■which attacked the supreme court, and
paid that Cleveland was a great and pure
man.
He said he favored local self-government
and was opposed to federal interference in
fctate affairs aud asserted that the republic-
an party was'opposed to prohibition and
•woman suffrage, and he himself was
strictly opposed to anything of the kind.
On the money question ne made about
the same remarks as in his Galveston
•speech and advised that all who favored
J'ree silver should support Noah Allen for
congress, he (Allen) being their logical can-
didate, while lit1 t Hawley) should be sup-
ported by all favoring sound money. He
fcpoke kindly of his opponents.
Hawley's speech was well received ami
In Lavaca county he will get the largest
republican vote given a man for congress
during the past twenty years, because
many democrats indorse, his views and
iwill support him. besides his campaign here
•will be managed by men experienced in
political methods. There is no strong op-
position to him.
REPI BLit'AX HEADQUARTERS.
Everything Heady to Turn Loose a
riood «»t* Literature.
Dallas, Tex., Sept. 18.—The republicans
fere putting plenty of ginger into.their cam-
paign. They have the "swell" head head-
quarters in the leading hotel and large li-
thographs of McKitlleyiand Hobart are dis-
played in prominent positions, where they
attract the attention of all who visit the
Oriental «©r pass along Commerce street.
Three or four clerks are kept busy in the
regular headquarters of the campaign com-
mittee, where Secretary B. B. Kenyon is in
charge. Kenyon lias a wide acquaintance
In the Panhandle country, having made the
race for congress two years ago in the
"Jumbo" district against Cockrel and Gilli-
Jand. The document room is also on the
Jirst floor and to-duy Captain \\ . 1.. Man-
chester ol Fort Worth was installed as
superintendent of this department. Charles
Hedges is chief of the literary bureau and
has charge of the campaign thunder that
■will be scattered broadcast. A News rep-
resentative visited the document room to-
day. He was chaperoned by Mr. Hedges,
■who said: "We are getting down to busi-
ness, but are not making the progress .1
•would like to see. We have at least -
OuO pieces of campaign literature and these
documents must be placed in the hands of
every voter in Texas. Next week we will
get down to business iu earnest and place
unanswerable logic in the hands of the
(voters of this state."
The republican campaign committee lias
Eot staeks of the Texas Sifter, newspaper,
fand thousands of copies of Judge Geo. N.
Aldredge's speech, delivered at* Atlanta,
Oa., before the bankers' association. Sen-
ator Don Caffery of Louisiana made use of
/this speech during the debate on the finan-
cial question in the United States senate
and had Judge Aldredge's remarks printed
in the Congressional Record, it is regard-
ed as a telling campaign argument by the
republican managers and will be given
circulation. Captain Manchester lias sev-
eral assistants and to-day was busy taking
•his bearings and getting in shape to inau-
gurate a red hot campaign of education.
Five thousands lithographs of Hon. Wm.
>lcKinley were received to-day and will
Jje distributed by Mr. Hedges and his as-
sistants. It was stated at headquarters to-
day that the republican national committee
)ia.s ordered shipped to Texas a very large
supply of the most effective campaign lit-
erature, and the receipts of the Dallas
jpostoflice are certain to show a decided in-
crease during the next six weeks.
N. W. Cuney returned from Terrell to-
day, where he made a speech on the pre-
ceding night. He departed for Austin this
afternoon. After a short stay in that city
lie will go to San Antonio and thence pro-
ceed to- Galveston to thoroughly organize
it.be Tenth congressional district. The man-
agers are confident that Colonel it. B.
aiawley will defeat Senator James li. Shell-
fciurne for congress, even if Noah Allen, the
populist nominee, remains in the race. They
pay that Colonel Hawley will poll a largo
democratic vote in Calveston county and
make surprising gains in the other counties
©f the district.
Judge Charles I. Kvans and Colonel W.
5>. Wylie visited headquarters this after-
Bioon. Colonel Wylie said: "I have voted
the democratic ticket for more than thirty-
live years, but am a republican from now
on. No follower of Thomas Jefterson can
fwlthhold his support from the republican
nominee in this light. For the past live
{years I have been a political orphan, but
3 have found a home at last. Mcivinley
fWill sweep the country."
Judge Kvans, who was present, said:
ffhem's my sentiments. Bryan will be the
fworst defeated man that ever aspired to
the presidency, not excepting Horace Uree-
fley.
This conversation took place in parlor C

I>r. Toiar Replies to Gov. Slieelinn.
Rush brook Farm, Arcadia. Tex.. Sept.
17.—To The News: The liberality of The
News in admitting the humble as well as
the great to a free expression through its
columns of all questions of interest to the
general public emboldens me to offer a few
words of comment on the expressions of
ex-Lieutenant Governor Sheehan in a let-
ter to Joseph B. Mayer of Buffalo, which
appeared in The News of September 14. In
this letter Mr. Sheohan says the Chicago
platform is not democratic. "Not a line in
it is democratic," says Mr. Sheehan, but
he fails to state why 'except in the finan-
cial plank, and this leans the reader to in-
fer that in the financial plank lies his main
objection. He asks this question: "When
was it ever a tenet of democracy that, by
the fiat of the government. cents worth
of silver should be made equivalent to one.
hundred cents In ^dd in payment of public
and private debts?"
This is not a pertinent question for the
reason that the Chicago platform does not
propose any such tiling. We would ask
Mr. Sheehan when was it ever a tenet of
democracy to demonetize silver or to make
go;.I the standard of measure?
Tin Chicago platform starts out ns fol-
lows: "We. the democrats of the United
States in national convention assembled, do
affirm our allegiance to these most essen-
tial principles of justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded, and
which the democratic partj has main-
tained from Jefferson's time to our own:
Freedom oi speech, freedom of the press,
freedom of conscience, the conservation of
personal rights, the equality of all citizens
before the law, and the faithful observance
of constitutional limitations."
1 suspect that Governor Sheehan's great-
est objection to the platform might be
found in this preamble.
The platform next refers to the fact that
the federal constitution names gold and sil-
ver together as the money metals of the
United States, and that the first coinage
law passed by congress under the constitu-
tion made the silver dollar the unit of
value and admitted gold to free coinage at
a ratio measured by the silver dollar unit.
Then the platform declares that the act of
1873 demonetizing silver without the knowl-
edge or approval of the American people
has resulted in the appreciation of gold
and a corresponding fall in the price of all
commodities produced by the people. A
heavy increase in the burden of taxation
and of all debts, public and private. The
< nrichment of the money lending classes at
home and abroad; paralysis of industry and
impoverishment of the people. The plat-
form declares: "We are unalterably op-
posed to the gold standard, which has
locked fast the prosperity of an indus-
trious people in the paralysis of hard times.
Gold monometallism is a British policy,
founded by British greed for gain and
power, and its adoption has brought other
nations into financial servitude to London."
These declarations are the declarations of
true democrats, representatives of the only
democracy we have, and are strictly in line
with the teachings of Jefferson, who was
the founder of democracy. The empty as-
sertions of Mr. Sheehan or any of the
bolters who march under the name of the
national democracy, but who. in fact, are
the allies of the republican party, does not
change t;he minds of thinking patriots.
What the Chicago platform proposes is
simply a return to the old democratic bi-
metallic policy, which had its birth in the
party and which was in full force up to
1873. Re-enactf the coinage laws in force
up to that time, and all true democrats will
be satisfied.
Mr. Sheehan's 53-cent dollar argument is
the sheerest moonshine and will not fool
anybody. In the demonetization of silver
the people were robbed and are thereby
forced to pay about two dollars for every
one they justly owed. Governor Sheehan
has made his millions by the change from
the bimetallic standard and the people have
suffered correspondingly. The democratic
party might be charged with demanding a
partial restitution to the people of a part
of that which they have been robbed ol by
a republican administration, but the plat-
form will not sustain a more serious
charge. When silver is remonetized and
admitted to free coinage with equal privil-
eges with gold, there will be no danger as
to parity. The present demand for cir-
culating medium of exchange in order to
restore prosperity and give the people
something to work and hope for will hfe
sufficient to maintain the parity. Accord-
ing to Senator Sherman's speech in the
senate in 1890, the United States' entire
product of silver will not be sufficient to
supply the- increased demand caused by the
increase of population. Gold and silver
mining are two of the great industries of
this country. Why cut down one for the
benefit of the otlnr when we need more
than we have of both? No-thing but a re-
turn to the bimetallic policy of the fathers
will satisfy the American people, and they
are in the saddle in this campaign.

>liui W lio Was Willing to Sutter That
Justice De Done.
Washington Star.
The Texas judge was giving the Star re-
porter a few mild steers, so to speak, on
the manners and customs of the people of
his greatest and second to none state in
the glorious galaxy of the union, or words
to that effect. And the reporter was ob-
serving at the same time how unlike the
judge was in this respect to any and all
Texans he had met.
"Speaking of tenderfeet." said the judge,
with proper judicial dignity. "Hiram Hoo-
ten, who came to my county when I wus
a young man, was the rarest specimen I
ever met up with. Hiram had a twang to
his speech a good deal like an Indiana
Yankee when lie first came to the county,
but the Texas climate softened that of its
angularities, so that at the last we did not
care where he came from, and lllram for
some reason never told us. The things that
Hiram did in the way of honesty were too
numerous to mention ant} his simplicity of
character was really painful, especially
when one of our citizens sold him a farm
for |500 that nobody in the county would
have at any price. Hiram, however, never
complained and he 'managed somehow to
make a living on his farm, which some of
our people could not do on better ones. He
had also managed somehow to have a little
money in bank, and, notwithstanding his
guilelesrfhess, it was not considered sale
toward the last to monkey with Hiram in
a horse trade. Still, every now and then he
would do a fool thing, and the next round
some of our best men would be after Hiram
for a chance to catch him napping in some
kind ot a trade, and Hiram would be found
wide awake. One day Hiram was in the
sheriff's office paying his taxes and he in-
sisted that it wasn't justice to the tax-
payers of the county that he should pay
taxes on his farm, which was assessed at
only He said ii ought to be $2500, at
least, and the sheriff began to think Hiram
had another one of his fits, and the next
thing In- knew lie would have to have a trus-
tee appointed to look out for him. However,
Hiram prevailed upon him to use his good
offices in having the proper figures put on
the farm, and Hiram was greatly comforted
when he was informed that next year his
taxes would be on the increased valuation.
Then Hiram went off about bin business,
smiling, and the sheriff met him next day,
nd in a small horse and cattle trade Hiram
a me out a pair of mules ahead, and the
sheriff didn't know what hurt him. But he
thought he would get in on Hiram before he
had recovered from his fit in the cause of
justice. For live or six months Hiram went
"along about as usual, and the neighbors
didn't notice anything peculiar until he be-
gan to whitewash his barns and fences, and
he must have wasted as much as $1 improv-
ing the look: of things. Then one day a tidy-
sort of a man came to the sheriff's office
with Hiram, and they looked over th? books,
and the stranger seemed to be satisfied with
what he saw and hadn't a word to say to
anvbody. A week later he came around
again, and this time Hiram came to me to
draw up the deeds and transfer the property
to the stranger, the price being $3000 for the
farm as It stood, in < ash. It was only $500
above the assessed valuation, and the stran-
ger thought he was getting a snap. 1 never
said a word, for Hiram had given me a $50
fee, and it wasn't my place to talk. A day
after the new man took possession lllram
left the country, and the stranger told the
sheriff In coifidence that he had known Hi-
ram back in Indiana, and he was always
considered just a little slack-twisted, and
the sheriff grinned and called the attention
of the stranger to the fact that Hiram Hoo-
ten had increased the taxable valuation of
that farm from $250 to $L'.">00 for nothing on
earth but simple justice."
A FAST PACING RACE,
Dill >nt liike Connecticut.
Bridgeport Union.
A strange tale of a man's resentment for
an Injury done his father more than three-
quarters of a century ago was brought to
light on Sunday by the visit to the city of
Daniel Porter, a wealthy merchant of San
Jose, Cal. True to a vow registered many
years ago, he refused to stay longer than
twenty-four hours in a state that had
meted out to his father unjust ami terrible
punishment for a trivial offense, the mere
thoughtless infraction, in fact, of a blue
law even at that time almost in desuetude.
Although pressed to remain by his host, a
well known West end man, his determina-
tion not to pass two nights in the old Nut-
meg state could not be shaken, and he left
for New York Sunday afterrr m
In the year 1815 Mr. Ponei s father,
whose name was also Daniel, was a young
man of 18 years in the little town of Coven-
try. Sermons were tedious things in those
days, and one Sunday as young Porter sat
in church he allowed his thoughts to wan-
der. Absentmlndedly he drew his knife
from his pocket and commenced to cut his
finger nails. The sharp eye of the tithing
man caught the desecration of the sanctu-
ary and Porter was at once placed under
arrest.
The court in which he was tried pre-
served the usages of old colonial days, the
present constitution of Connecticut not
having been adopted until 1818, and the
gravity of the offense was clearly recog-
nized under the old code. The court found
a punishment to fit the crime, and Porter
was ordered to be banished from the
state for life. What is more, he had to go,
for there was no dallying with the law in
those days. Porter had expressed a de-
sire to go to sea. and a constable escorted
him to New London, where he found a
shin.
He followed the sea for more than twen-
ty years, but early in the '40s drifted to
Cincinnati. Here he, married and had two
sons. One of these is the one who paid
the city a Hying visit on Sunday. Early in
life he went to California, and has become
a wealthy man.
Mr. Porter said while he recognized the
fact that his father could have returned
without molestation many years before he
died, he thought that he had been done an
irreparable injustice, which never could be
forgiven. He entertained, he said, no feel-
ing of love for or pride in the old state
which had been the birthplace of his for-
bears.
Mr. Porter arrived in the city Sunday
morning and late in the afternoon left for
New York. He saw but little of the city,
and said that he was not interested in any-
thing that came from or was a part of
Connecticut.

Event* VeHterduy.
Medford, Mass., Sept. IS.—Star Pointer,
at Mystic park this afternoon, not only
beat two accredited faster horses. Robert
J. (2.olm2), and Frank Agan (2J.G3a*). but
paced the three fastest heats ever made in
competition, tlie time being 2.03Hi
und 2.0^4, an average of 'J.Oli*,.
He also lowered the world's record for
the fastest first heat ever paced. 2.0211;. as
well as the records for the fastest quarter
and half, .2J»\ and 59** respectively.
The race between the three great pacers
was phenomenal, for while in the first
heat Robert J. was beaten by ten lengths,
in the next two heats he was close on to
the leader, coming in second in the third
heat. Frank Agan, in the whole race, was
never a length behind, ami at one time was
a nose to the good. Star Pointer, however,
managed to get under the wire first In
every heat, and must have had something
in reserve, for McCleary never raised his
whip in three heats.
It was shortly after 2 o'clock when the
gong rang for the pacers. Robert J. was
the favorite. KM) to 200. with Frank Agan
second choice, even, and Star Pointer ;i.")0
to 2"t». Star Pointer had the pole. After tjvo
attempts the three were sent away well
bunched. The pace from the start was ter-
rific, much too hot for Robert .1.. who
dropped behind the other two, being five
lengths In the rear at the first quarter,
which was made in Pointer and Agan
were neck ami neck ail the way down the
back stretch, making the half in 59V with
Robert J. still farther behind. The three-
quarter pole was reached in 1.31 Vs. with
Pointer slightly in the lead, and, notwith-
standing that McCarthy applied the whip,
the son of Flora could not reach Pointer,
and the two rushed under the wire in the
record-breaking time of 2.02'■_•. Robert J.
was ten lengths behind.
The second heat was still more exciting,
for Frank Agan poked his brown nose in
front of Pointer while on the back stretch,
but it was only for a moment, and with a
little burst of speed Pointer soon regained
his place. Robert J. showed up much bet-
ter in this heat and was close on A«an
all the way through. The quarter was

11 EH MIT JOMOS* RETREAT.
Disappointed In Love He Took I p His
Abode 1 nder a Haystaek.
Macon County Citizen.
While J. H. Arthur and Joseph Good-
ing, tax collectors, were out in a sparsely
settled district in Russell township, Macon
county, recently, they ran across not the
"oldest inhabitant," but undoubtedly the
queerest, and most eccentric inhabitant of
that locality. They carried with them a
back tax bill for $10.20 against one John G.
Jones, who had $1125 in the bank at New-
Cambria.
The amount was more than the average
bank account of the farmers in that town-
ship and they naturalfy expected to find
John G. Jones presiding over a farm of
more than ordinary pretensions. Nearly a
day was spent in quest of Mr. Jones' home:
no one seemed to know him.
Qne afternoon the collectors noticed a
peculiarly-shaped haystack on a bleak
stretch of uncultivated ground. They ap-
proached it and saw a ditch running under
it.
One of the men got down on his hands
and knees and crawled into the ditch and
under the haystack. He disappeared from
sight, but soon returned with his face pale
with fright. He said that the haystack
was a human habitation and that as soon
as he had got in some one yelled out to him
• Yi' Yi!"
While they stood there waiting for de-
velopments a queer looking person came
from the hole In the ground and ap-
proached the collectors, who hastily re-
treated a few steps.
There wus no hat on his head, but a dark
colored rag was bound closely around his
temples and knotted behind. His clothing,
if such it be called, was pletyiresque, and
contained many holes. His arms were long
and thin and his fingers terminated In nails
which were so long they resembled claws.
His snow-white beard fell down to his
waist.
One of the tax gatherers tried to explain
to this queer looking being his mission, but
evoked no response that was intelligible.
He then shoved the tax bill under the old
man's nose.
The hermit took it. and. after a long
examination, retreated to his home, mo-
tioning the men to follow him. They looked
doubtfully at each other a moment and
then screwed their courage to the ^ticking
point and followed him.
The recluse took a box from the shelf,
went to a corner of the dirt floor, found
un old key, inserted it in the lock, and
drew forth what looked like a bandanna
handkerchief. After unwinding this until
he seemed to have a small sized bed-
spread, he drew out another rag in which
was a collection of dimes and nickels. He
counted out the $10.20 and paid his bill.
While waiting for him to do this the
visitors examined the peculiar plage of
abode, in the dirt walls were driven hori-
zontally four or five sticks, and across
these were laid boards. Hay and rags on
the lop of this indicated that it was the
hermit's bed. Everything wus of the most
primitive design, and indicated that the
tenant had broken away from the conven-
tionalities of civilization many years before.
Since their visit one of the tax collectors
has made inquiry concerning the old man.
He learned that the recluse had but one or
two friends and no confidants. One of
them told Mr .Arthur that Jones was a
Welshman, a bachelor, who had renounced
social ties on account of an unfortunate
love affair, which had blighted his youthful
affections. He came to America ami se-
cured a 40-acre tract of ground in what
was then a "howling wilderness."
He raises potatoes principally and trades
them around occasionally for anything the
people care to trade for. He has not a
head of stock of any sort on his place, not
even a dog to cheer his solitude.

Bee Keeper* Oruunlfce.
Beeville, Bee Co., Tex., Sept. 18.—'The Bee
Keepers' association met in its third annual
session at the Live Oak apiary of the Jen-
nie Atchley company, two miles from Bee-
ville, at 10.43 a. m. Wednesday morning.
After an address of welcome by Mrs.
Atchley, who occupied the chair, and re-
sponse to Mr. J. L. Crulkshank of Kinney
county, a I permanent organization, to be
known as the Southwest Texas bee keep-
ers' association, was perfected.
The following committees were appointed:
On programme: G. W. Hufstedler, G. F.
Davidson and J. O. Grlmsley.
On awards: Mrs. '/. Ii. Osborne, G. \V.
Hufstedler und J. O. Grlmsley.
On organization; E. J. Atchley, Z. H.
Osborne and G. Davidson.
Some interesting facts in the bee business
were stated. Mr Davidson told of taking
GOO pounds of extracted honey from each of
two colonies of Italian bees. Mrs. Atchley
said she had taken 500 pounds of extracted
honey from u colony of Italian bees for
three successive years. Mr. Crulkshank of
Kinney county began last spring with 208
colonies, increased to 428 and extracted ten
tons of honey. While waiting on the com-
mittee of awards to report some interesting
discussions were held, telling of the neces-
sity of properly handling bees, the big
profits of their work. etc.
When the committee on awards reported
the first premium on comb honey was given
to G. F. Davidson of Wilson county and
second premium to O. F. Stevens of Bee
county. The first premium on extracted
honey' was awarded to J. L. Cruikshank of
Kinney county and second to Willie Atch-
ley of Bee county.
Statistics of the day showed 1630 colonies
of bees represented, from which had been
tuk««n 36,300 pounds of extracted honey and
3824 pounds of comb honey, a little over
twenty tons In all. An Interesting commu-
nication from Mrs. E. S. MrCall of Wells,
Tex., was read. Several delegates were
present from outside of the state.
Alviu*
Alvin, Brazoria Co., Tex., Sept. 18.—The
News traveling correspondent in his write-

an error that needs correction. After say-
jng that Alvin was a great producer of
'strawberries he remarked that the output
of the last season was 500 to GOO crates.
This should have read "daily." as that
was about the average for over four weeks,
and some days the output reached 900
crates, aggregating about 15,000 for the sea-
son.
Dr. J. B. B. McNutt of Goldthwaite was
here to-day and will move his family to
Alvin this fall.

FOR A TEMPLE OF ROSES.
A Mjuh'rlonn Scheme W'lilcli Cali-
fornia 1m Proponing.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Los Angeles.—A report here Is current
that a project of erecting a permanent tem-
ple of roses near Los Angeles Is under con-
templation. and if the design is carried out
it will be the most brilliant conception
known since the world's fair at Chicago.
Briefly, the proposition is to construct a
building to cost about $2,000,000, with a
seating capacity of 2.\000 people. The
■tincture is to be of antique Grecian archi-
tectural design, and Is to be dedicated to
music and drama. Festivities on a grand
scale are to be presented here for one
month of each year.
The proposition, which is still in embryo,
owes Its origin to a new order which is al-
leged to be in process of formation, entitled
the World's Templars of Roses. The so-
city has for its object among others as a
tribute of love in honor of the first mother
of mankind, the furtherance of the arts,
music and drama and to assist those pos-
sessing talent to advancement toward per-
fection: also to unite a bond of sentiment
between the women of the nations of the
world and thereby among nations them-
sel ves.
The temple is to be dedicated to Eve and
women of all nations. Its location, as well
as its projectors, is wrapped in mystery,
but the first is surmised to be near Santa
Monica, though a site near Los Angeles
has. It is reported, been offered. The pro-
jectors are supposed to be people w ho have
heretofore been connected with the getting
up of flower carnivals and fiestas. Th©
project, however, is wrapped Is much mys-
tery. and only an inkling has reached the
public. This is understood to be for the
reason that prominent people are to be ap-
proached to lend their assistance and it is
not desired to make any names public until
the enterprise is assured.
It is claimed that enthusiastic patronage
is not only already pledged by many lead-
ing artists from Europe and the east, but
that San Francisco. San Diego. Santa Bar-
bara and Los Angeles people have been in-
terested. The laying of the corner stone.
If the proposition develops, is expected to
take place about May 1. 1N97. The Order of
the World's Templars of Hoses is to be a
stock company and it is mysteriously
hinted that a brilliant young singer from
Boston is to locate here, who may be in-
duced to act as queen royal. The financial
support of the enterprise, it Is asserted, is
assured.
Aurecil to mii Advance.
Chicago. Sept. 18.—The western roads
have agreed to an advance In rates of car-
loads from trans-Mlssourl territory to the
Mississippi river and Chicago, and also
New Orleans and Galveston. The* advance
from Wichita and southern Kansas points
to the Mississippi river and gulf ports
will be 7 cents per 100 pounds, but from
other points where the reduction has not
been so great the advance will vary from 3
to 5 cents per 100 pounds.
Commerce CoiiiuilNNlon Hearing.
Chicago, Sept. 18.—The interstate com-
merce commission to-day began hearing tlia
charges by Sufferti, Hunt & Co. of De-
catur, 111., against the Indiana, Decatur
and Western railroad. The complaint is
based upon the practice of the road of Im-
posing a penalty amounting to double tar-
iff rates on all grain In excess of the max-
imum weights allowed for the carload load-
ed In one car.

davits in connection with the Union nation-
al bank defalcation were drawn up to-day

Blood Pure?
Is it? Then take Ayer's Sar-

it? Then take Ayer's Sarsa-

{act is positively established
and that is that Ayer's Sarsa-
parilla will purify the blood
more perfectly, more economi-
cally and more speedily than
any other remedy in the mar-
ket. There are fifty years of
cures behind this statement; a
record no other remedy can
show. You waste time and
money when you tuke anything
to purify the blood except
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
