Generals Palmer and Buck
ner Grossly Insulted.
DERIDED BY POPOCRATIC THUGS
General Buckner'a Stinging Reply to
the Brutal Tannts Bryan Toun
the Badger State.
Paris, Mo., Oct. 30. Generals Palmer
and Buckner arrived here this morning
and were met nt the depot by 500 people,
As the candidates stood on the rear plat
form of the car with heads bared some
young men pushed np with a big Bryan
. banner and shored it under the noses of
the generals, at the same time shouting
for Brvan. Several efforts of Buckner
to speak were interrupted by cries of de
rision, many in the crowd yelling, "Look
at the McKiniey Aid Society."
Strung at this last fling, Buckner
pointed at the banner and said : "Let
me tell you who and what constitutes
the McKiniey Aid Society. In 1892, on
a sound-money platform, we elected
Grover Clevelxnd ami last elections in
Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio
were disastrous because yon, you shoot
ers, with your heresies, drove the party
oh to failure and contempt. Hold up
that banner. There is the emblem of
the McKiniey Aid Society. Look at it,"
The train pulled ont before Palmer
could speak.
SPAIN'S CUP .IS FULL.
Farther Trouble Threatens that Luck
less Country.
Porto Rico, Oct. 30. The cup of woe
will certainly be filled to overflowing if,
as some suspect is possible, a spark from
Cuban campfires blows Porto Ricoward
and proves sufficient to start the flame
of Insurrection here.
The government, far from failing to
realize the situation, knows full well the
inflammable nature ot the material with
which it is dealing, and carries its pre
cautions almoet to the verge of exaggera
tion. If the people tell the truth, how
ever, there is no likelihood of trouble
here, at least while the struggle in Cuba
goes on. That bitter contest won by the
insurgents, their ends gained, there can
be no doubt but that there will be an
uprising in Porto Rico, but until that
time comes the island is not likely to
give Spain any trouble other than may
be made by contributions to the cause ot
Cuba through the junta in New York.
Senor Xavri Maruni, a dry goods mer
chaLt in Ponce, on the opposite side of
the island from the city of - Porto Rico
itself, in an interview, said :
"I do not think there is any danger of
an open insurrection against the Spanish
on the part of the Porto Ricans. That
there are some Cuban sympathizers on
the island there can be no dout and the
government is on the lookout for such of
them as go to the point of imprudence,
shown in the arrests in AguiJilia,
"Whatever degree of feeling might ex
ist among the pative Porto Ricans is in
a very limited portion of the island.' The
smali population something like 80,000
in all would in itself be enough to
preclude the probability of any general
uprising under present conditions. Even
monetary aid, if such exists, which
Porto Ricans might be disposed to offer
to the insurgents in Cuba, would have to
be sent to New York and find its. way to
its ultimate destination through the
American junta."
"Bat in case Cuba should achieve au
tonomy, or even independence, what
would be the effect on Porto Rico?"
"Ah, that's another matter," he said,
with a smile. "Very likely in that case
Cubans wou'd want to see Porto Rico
free, too, and once sure of their assist
ance, there is no telling what the na
tives would do."
THE DANGERS OF KISSING.
A Warning to Sweetheart Against Pro
miscuous Osculation.
Indianapolis, Oct. 30. The secretary
of the state health board has a case re
ported from Columbus, where a man
persisted in kissing his sweetheart who
is alarmingly ill with diphtheria, by
which he also contracted the disease.
The secretary therefore wants to inter
dict all kissing, concerning which he
savs:
"I am convinced of the difficulty the
health board will meet in trying to ta
boo kissing among sweethearts. Al
though a most dangerous pastime, there
seems to be an inherent tendency to in
- dulge in it, and we have little hope of
ever being able to do away with it. I
may have to recommend a disinfectant.
All that will be' necessary will be to
rinse the teeth well with it and rub
well on the lios. That would insure
against the dangers resulting from oscu-
lation.
CEIME OF A M'03JTANAWOMAN.
Shot at Her
Husband
Son.
and Killed Her
Butte, Mont., Oct. 30. In an attempt
to kill her husband, Mrs. J. W. Allen, of
Maryville, 6hot and almost instantly
killed her 12-year-old son. She then
fired two more shots at her husband, one
bullet fracturing his skull and the other
breaking his arm. He will probably
die.
For some time the wife and husband
have not been getting along well, owing
to the Quarrelsome disposition of the
woman, who is believed to be of na
sound mind. Before going to work Al
ten whipped bis son, and this so enraged
the mother that she picked np a rifle
and began shooting at her husband. The
first shot missed him and hit the boy
the left side. The two other shots hit
the man.
After the shooting Mrs. Allen threw
the gun out of the window and rushed
cut of the house, crying, "Murder!'
"Help!" The boy was still alive when
the neighbors arrived. He said
Mother shot me and and I will never
forgive her," and then expired. The
woman was taken to jail.
Carlisle's J.ast Speech.
Lexington, Ky., Oct. 30. The last of
Carlisle's five speeches in Kentucky was
made here this afternoon to a tremen
done and enthusiastic audience at the
opera house. Mrs. Carlisle joined the
secretary here this morning and they
will leave for Washington tonight.
Carlisle said today that this visit to
Kentucky only confirmed his previously
expressed opinion that Bryan will be
badly beaten.
Jones Ienies It.
Chicago, Oct. 30. Chairman Jones
of the Democratic National Committee,
was shown the London dispatch today
in which he is quoted as having ad'
mitted the defeat of Bryan in Illinois.
"I never said Bryan would not carry
Illinois," said the senator, what I did
say was that Bryan would win without
carrying that state. We have not given
up the hope of carrying Illinois. On the
contrary, we fully expect to carry it.

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act more surety counteracting
and freeing the system from the malar
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bit
ters. 50c and $1.00 per bottle at Blake

Republican National Headquarters,
Chicago. The earnest support which
the loyal citizens of the United States
irrespective of former political affilia
tions, have rendered the Republican
party and the cause of sound money in
the campaign about to end, justifies an
expression from those who have been
called upon to conduct it. No campaign
since the war of the rebellion has pre-
sen ted such grave responsibilities to
those entitled to the elective franchise,
The dangerous principles enunciated by
the Chicago platform, which proposes
not only a debasement of the currency
but the destruction of the highest ju
dicial authority of the land, have jnsti
fied good citizens, irrespective of past
party preferences, in uniting to rebuke
those who would thus endanger the very
foundation of our national organization
.The developments of the closing week
of the campaign leave no doubt that the
judgment of an overwhelming majority
of the people is against the platform and
oandidate of repudiation' and national
dishonor. It now remains for the voters
to register at the polls their answer to
attempts to excite passion, prejudice
and selfishness for the benefit of a few
who are willing to destroy national
honor and endanger national existence
for their personal ambitions and indi
vidual profit.
I am confident the strength of McKin
iey and Hobart in the electoral college
as a result of next Tuesday's election
will not be less than 311 votes. This es
timate is made upon figures just re
ceived from the chairman of state com
mittees, the result of final polls taken in
such a careful manner as to give them

pate that the vote by states will be as

Good citizens in ev?ry section and of
eyery party have united in publicly ex
pressing themselves upon this subject
Their duty now is to do so in such a
manner as will forever put to an end
further attempts in this line. There is
but one way of doing this, and that is at
the polls. While each man has his e9'
pecial field in the preliminary work of
the campaign, the duty of election day
is common to all. No man, however
much he has done in influencing others,
can neglect his personal duty at the
polls, and no citizen, however humble
or devoted to employment or business,
should fail to exercise his privilege and
duty on election day.
It is not merely a privilege, but a
duty. And, while it is the duty of every
good citizen to express his will at the
polls on all occasions, that duty was
never more serious er important than
now. Sound arguments and expressions
of loyalty count for nothing unless those
who offer them or are convinced by
them exercise that universal privilege of
participating in the actual direction o
the government by voting on election
day.
It is hoped, therefore, that all good
citizens will join hands on Tuesday in
maintaining the honor of the nation by
registering their ballots in favor of that
candidate who has been honored by the
support of loyal men of all parties
William McKiniey.
The issue is between two men and two
platforms, the one representing national
honor, good government, sound money
and sound principle; tbe other standing
fur doctrines dangerous to tbe peace and
and prosperity of the nation, and prom
ising only a system which must debase
the currency, destroy businees and em
ployment. It is, as has been recently
said by Major McKiniey himself, "a
time when the voice of the partisan is
hushed in the chorus of patriotism which
sounds from one end of the country to
Lthe other.
.Let every loyaj citizen take this
thought to tbe polls with him on election
day, and the country will be saved from
the danger which confronts it, and saved
by that same loyal devotion which oblit
erated party lines in defense of the na
tionon tbe occasion of equal bat not
greater peril. ' M. A. Hanna.
Attention Everybody!

ed to report ' at the armory at 6 :30
o'clock that evening. All members of
civic societies taking part in the parade
should assemble at K. of P. hall Thurs
day evening promptly at 6 :30." It is fur
ther requested that all citizens of The

in the mounted division ot the parade
report their names to Captain Ad Kellar
up to Wednesday night, in order that
proper arrangements may be made.
Those taking part in this division will
report to Captain Kellar promptly at
6:30 Thursday evening.
A Phenomenal Rainfall.
The most phenomenal rainfall record
ed in the annals of Ohio took place on
the 12th day of August, ISM. Mr. S. B
McMillan, who gives an account of this
remarkable downpour, says that it ex-
tended over an area of at least 100 square
miles. The total amount of water which
fell during the 11 hours of precipitation
was 8 inches, and of that quantity 4.3
inches fell m 4ya hours. What is meant
by a fall of 8 inches of rainin so' short
a space of time will be better under
stood when the reader is informed that
one inch of rain means 22,000 gallons to
the acre. This immense quantity of
water will weigh 20,000 pounds, or 100
tons!
Vice Regal Invitations.
An invitation from the lord lieuten
ant in Ireland is supposed to be, like
one from the queen whom he represents,
a command. Irish society,, however.
does sot always treat it as such, but.
according to convenience, either hon
ors it in the breach or the observance.
A "society" person may throw over a
previous engagement in favor of a vice
legal invitation without being consid
ered to have committed a breach of man
ners, lie may also refuse the vice regal
nvitation if so minded. Irish society
is not servile on this point, but exer
cises common sense and the liberty of
choice in the matter of amusing itself.
Origin or CUllnrds.
The origin of billiards is obscure, but
the best authorities on the subject de
clare that the g".me was brought from
the cast by the Crusaders. It was cer
tainly played by the early . Knights
Templar and the Knights of Malta, and
n medieval times was exceedingly
popular among the monks in tbt
monasteries of France and Italy.
Blessing the Fish.
Thousands of spectators witnessed
the unique spectacle of the annual bless
ing of the fisheries, which took place at
Folkestone, England, recently. A pro
cession, consisting of surpneea cnoirs
and clergy, with cross and banners, left
St. Peter's church, and after it had made
detour of the fishing quarter of the
town chanting the litany a position was
taken up overlooking the sea. The
vicar of the parish gave an appropriate
address, and prayers were offered ask
ing a Divine blessing on the fisherman's
calling.
It is the same old story and yet con
stantly recurring that Simmons Liver
Regulator is the best family medicine.

San Fbancisco, Nov. 2. The close of
the campaign in California finds the
Democrats confident of carrying the

crats and silverities claim the state for
Bryan by smaller majorities than the
Democratic state committee officers.
W. P. Lawlor, of the silver state com
mitteee, says Bryan will undoubtedly
carry California, but says his majority is
problematical. Gavin McNab predicts
that Bryan will have at leatt 10,000 ma
jority in the state outside of San Fran
cisco. The Democrats claim all the con
gressmen except in the Fifth district,
where it is admitted that the Republic
ans have a chance. The Republicans

RISING WHEAT MARKETS.
Grain la New York Advanced Steadily
Daring the Day.
New York, Nov. 2. From start to
finish today the wheat market gave a
surprising exhibition of strength, con
sidering the fact that tomorrow is a
holiday. Opening higher at 80Jc
for December, it kept on rising until it
reached 810, where it closed. Specu
lation was most active in the last hour,
and the total sales for the day only
reached 3,150,000 bushels. It was a case
of bull sentiment, reinforced by strong
foreign news and European buying, es
pecially on the Pacific coast, where fur
ther export orders were f reported.
Siverpool stocks showed a falling off for
the month, world's shipments were es
timated at nearly 1,000,000 buBhels less
than last week, and there was a redac
tion of 040,000 bushels on passage. The
American visible supply increased only
half as much as expected.
