THE DAY'S RACES.

CHICAGO, July 2L Sidney Lucas did not
even get inside the money in the Wheeler

The Wild East.
WASHINGTON. July 17 There are hun
dreds of people who continue to look on
the great West as a wild and woolly
country, overrun with savages and wild
anlmalB.butfew would think to find within
a six-hour ride of Washington a section
of the country where money is almost an
unknown quantity, and where the people
are so removed from civilization as to
have no Idea of events now current in the
world. Yet that Is the fact, and nowhere
in the United States are people more Ig
norant and living in ways more primeval
than those to bo found in some of the
mountains of Virginia, West Virginia and
Kentucky. It is a matter of fact that
there are some old settlers in these
mountains who, up to a few years ago,
did not know that the Civil War was
over. They had taken refuge In the moun
tains at the outbreak of the war, and
bad so completely hidden themselves that
they had no knowledge whatever of what
had gone on In the world in the past 35
years. A traveler who recently strayed
through the mountain districts of Ken
tucky and West Virginia, came across a
small settlement when he found such
mediums of exchange as the crude skins
of animals. He saw a husky mountaineer
pay for a drink with a coonskln. receiv
ing as change a rabbit skin. Wishing
a plug of tobacco, he paid for It with tho
rabbit skin, this time receiving a squirrel
skin as change. This ho tucked in his
pocket aand walked out On investiga
tion the visitor learned that the settlers
in that community go for months at a
time without seeing any real money, and
that skins are used almost entirely for
purchasing purposes. Four times a year
agents from large cities visit the neigh
borhood and buy up the skins, which al
ways concentrate in tho stores in the
vicinity.

LIVELY CAMPAIGN COMING
BOTH PARTIES PREPARHrO TO
POLL THEIR. LARGEST VOTE.
Vast Amount of Literature Has Al
ready Been Distributed Satisfac
tion With tho Tickets.
WASHINGTON, July 17. If present in
dications can be relied upon, there will
be a very lively and active campaign thlg
Fall, one of the most interesting that
has been held in years. With both
tickets named, and general satisfaction
on both sides with the respective tick
ets, there is much enthusiasm to be
evoked, and both parties: will undoubtedly
poll their best vote. Each starts out with
an excellent preparatory equipment. The
committees of both Republican and Dem
ocratic parties have been at work for
some months preparing literature to be
used in the campaign, much of which has
already been distributed. In fact, it is
said that the literature distributed by
Democrats and Republicans up to this
time is greater than the total amount
put in circulation during the entire Con
gressional campaign of two years ago.
And yet there is a great bulk yet to be
printed and circulated. The Republican
committee is trying a new arrangement
this year, having headquarters at Chica
go, when is considered a central point,
with a branch at Washington, formerly
the only headquarters. The thorough or
ganization and systematic work of this
committee in tho past speaks for its pres
ent effectiveness. At the same time, the
Democratic committee is said to be organ
ized more carefully than ever before, and
is in splendid condition to compete with
the committee of the opposing party. This
was found "necessary If the Democrats
hoped to accomplish good results through
their committee, and shows that they ap
preciate that their only hope of success
Ilea in systematic and persistent efforts,
such as can be directed by a properly
conducted central committee.
The Campaiirn Literature.
The literature that Is being distributed
by both parties touches solely the Issues
Involved In the party platforms. The
Republicans are expending the most
money on the expansion subject, and all
of the strong and convincing speeches
mate In the House and Senate In sup
port of tho Administration's expansion
policy aro being reprinted by the hun
dreds of thousands, and are being put
in circulation as fast as the available
force of clerks -will permit. Some little
outlay has been made for financial
speeches In support of the sound-money
legislation enacted early in the recent ses
sion, which is Intended more to convince
the people of the soundness of the finan
cial policy of the Administration than to
injure the silver cause, for it is not an
ticipated that the Democrats will attempt
to make much of a general fight on the
silver issue. The Porto Rlcan question,
which aroused such bitter strife while
it was pending, has gradually dropped
from sight, and, while both partnes have
circulated speeches for and against it it
Is clearly not one of the .issues In point,
and will not figure to any extent in the
campaign, as many of the Democrats had
hoped when the Republicans so badly di
vided on it last Spring. The Democrats
will make what splurge they can over tho
"anti-imperialism" cry they have raised,
and will circulate thousands of speeches
In opposition to the Administration's
Philippine policy. But at the same time
they will circulate, and have already cir
culated, a vast amount of anti-trust lit
erature, in the hopes of winning over the
votes of the laboring element. More or
less of a showing will be made by the
Democrats of the extravagant expendi
tures recently disclosed In connection
with our control of the islands, but like
the Porto Rlcan issue, these unpleasant
features will have dropped from view
before election.
Pear of a Democratic House.
At Republican headquarters there is
little or no fear that Bryan' will carry
the country in November, but there is a
great deal of uneasiness regarding the
next House of Representatives. In so
many of the states there are local fac
tional fights among- the Republicans
which, if not stamped out in time, are
apt to lead to a division in the Republi
can ranks, and such divisions are the beat
kind of support to the Democratic tloket.
It is not anticipated that these local dif
ferences will keep any of the voters from
supporting McKlnley and Roosevelt, but
when they divide on their Representa
tives, the Democrats will act solidly, and
Republicans will be replaced by members
of the opposing party. The Republican
majority in the House now is so small
that it will not take a very great gain
to throw the balance of power into the
hands of the Democrats. Then there are
a number of voters among the Republi
cans who do not care to support the
National Republican tloket, but who will
do bo rather than support Bryan and
Stevenson, and such as they may give
vent to their dissatisfaction by refusing
to vote for the Congressional ticket.
This is but one of the many ways In
which .disgruntled voters may take their
revenge. Of course there is apt to be as
much dissatisfaction of this sort with one
party as with the other, but the Re
publicans are In a position where they
need all the strength they can rally on
their Congressional tickets throughout
the country. This uncertain condition will
surely result In a very careful and thor
ough campaign for Congress, and the
voters will receive more individual atten
tion this year than they have had in
some time. At the same time vigilance
is to be observed in districts where Re
publican majorities are or have been
large, to prevent any slump to the other
side. The republicans duly appreciate that
the Democrats will devote their best ef
forts to the Congressional campaigns,
and will act accordingly.
Campaign Funds.
At the present time both parties are
cramped In the matter of campaign funds,
but what the future may bring forth Is
a matter of conjecture. So far the great
contributors to the Republican fund have
held back, but If towards the close of
the campaign they realize that larger
contributions are necessary to Republican
success, there Is little doubt but what
they will go down 'In their pockets for
the funds required. In any event, when
the campaign Is over. It will be found
that the balance on hand Is a very small
amount. If not a minus quantity. On the
other hand, the Democrats, who four
years ago ran a poor man's campaign, are
looking to Senator Clark, of Montana, to
assist them materially. Though Clark
has been knocked about pretty freely
they seem to think he is enough in
love with the cause to cash in a cool
million. Some of those who are trying to
work Clark are representing that it was
due to tho efforts of the Democratic
members of the Senate that his case was
not taken up and decided long before
adjournment. They also pretend to honor
and respect- him just as much as if the
bribery charges had not been brought
out in so public a way. Undoubtedly they
had in sight his money when they seated
him at Kansas City, for they know Mr.
Clark is anything but ungrateful, and
hope by their representations, and some
of their acts, to place him under obliga
tions which he can beat pay with his
money. The Democrats also look to
some of ths Eastern Democrats for large
contributions, but Democratic enthusiasm
In the East has pretty well oozed out, and
when contributions are made, they will
not be of the largest calibre. In any
event, the Republicans will probably have
the better of it in the matter of cam
paign funds, unless, as some anticipate.
Senator Clark should feel It Is his duty
to overcap anything that may be done by
the wealthy Republicans.
The tickets named at Philadelphia and
Kansas City are generally satisfactory to
the respective parties, and will command
a large vote. There was an almost uni
versal demand for the renomination of.
McKlnley, for, while his administration
has been marred by mistakes, yet the
general1 policies and thfc general course
pursued meet with popular approval, and
the people want him to have a second
term. At times he may have wavered
where the people wanted immediate ac
tion, but it has always developed that the
delay worked better results than would
hasty action. McKlnley has always been
ready to correct errors, and In a general
way caters to the demands of tho people.
His running, mate is one of the most uni
versally popular of the Spanish War he
roes, and a man of great strength and
determination. Ever since Roosevelt en
tered public life he has commanded the
respect and admiration of the, public, and
no man today deserves more credit for
firmness, determination and independ
ence. Ho is not to be swerved from his
course, and is not afraid to stand by the
right, even though the right is not al
ways popular. He is thoroughly upright,
frank and honest, and that, added to a
career such as he has established, cannot
but make him popular. No man could
have made the ticket' stronger than
Roosevelt. Tho demand for Bryan's nom
ination was almost as universal as that
for McKlnley, although Bryan is not the
man to reunite the Democratic party. In
hopes of bringing this about, the silver
plank was placed In a subordinate posi
tion, and a conservative man like Ste
venson named for second place, but that
combination will not unite the party.
Still, the ticket will command a. very large
vote, a much larger vote than If some
shyster had been named In, plaoe of Ste
venson, and it will be a vote of a bet
tor element of the Democratic party than
if one of the wild-eyed aspirants been
named to run with Bryan. In the matter
of general popularity in the party, Mc
Klnley and Roosevelt have the advantage
over the Democratic nominees, but it can
nofr be denied that both tickets meet with
very great approval in the respective
parties.
A FILIPINO PLOT.
Insurgent Recruiting Ofilce In San
Mlarcel.
WASHINGTON, July XL The Secretary
of War baa been furnished with copies of
some interesting documents relating to
an alleged plot against the authorities in
Manila which were discovered in the dis
trict of San Miguel. The Secret Service
Department under Lieutenant Charles R.'
Trowbridge, Eleventh Cavalry, early in
June, stumbled upon an insurgent recruit
ing office situated in an Isolated locality,
where the work might be carried on with
out attracting attention. One room was
fitted up as office, and a large quantity
of blank forms, bearing the headline,
"Republica Fellplna," wero found in the
house. In a cupboard, -which had been se
curely' fastened, there was found a large
quantity of papers, all of recent date, the
latest being dated June 7. They consisted
of orders from Agulnaldo and letters of
encouragement and Instructions from the
leader and other insurgent chiefs. A doc
ument, which excited a great deal of in
terest, was one which contained the de
tails of a plot arranged, evidently, early
In June, to excite an uprising in Manila.
The plan contemplated an attack upon
the force in the city and tho seizure of
arms and ammunition. Another papet
which Is of Interest is translated as fol
lows: "We will not be Blavest let the Fili
pinos stand together and battle for their
liberties, and It will not be long before
the nations of the world will recognize
their strength. The blood of Innumerable
martyrs bears -ample testimony to the
Filipinos' love of freedom and their de
termined purpose not to cease struggling
for it. Shall they allow the Americans to
exercise uncontested sway over the fair
Filipinos? If they do, then, the fate of
tho American red men Is theirs, and
eventually a reservation will bo assigned
to them. Brothers, our cause is just;
therefore, let us continue as a thorn in
the side of our oppressors and'- strike
where we dare, sparing neither' men. wom
en, children nor old people. Thoso who
stay by each other in hours of adversity
are sure to conquer In the end."
LIFE OF A 13-INCH GUN.
Only Rifle Grooves Wear Out, .and
Repairs Are Easy.
Wm. E. Curtis in Chicago Record.
There have been some interesting and
mysterious stories in circulation about
the short lives of the big guns that are
used on our battleships and coast fortifi
cations. One of the yarns most frequent
ly told Is that the 13-inch gun. which
carries a ton of metal for 12 or 15 miles,
can only be fired 100 times with safety,
because the tremendous pressure destroys
the cohesive power of tho metal and thus
weakens it and renders it liable to ex
plode. These stories have got Into books,
and the '100 firing fallacy" is accepted by
some of the ablest authorities on ord
nance. The big Krupp at tho World's
Fair at Chicago was an object of even
greater. interest when visitors were told
that it had been fired 16 times, and could
not be fired again without danger of ox
plosion because the metal of which it is
made had become "nerveless."
Admiral O'Neill. Chief of Ordnance of
the Navy Department, says this is
all humbug. "The only damage suffered
by the big guns from frequent firing is
the wearing out of the rifle grooves," he
says, "and that is easily repaired. The
gun can either be rifled over again or it
can be 'tubed' that Is, a rifled tube can
be fitted into the bore, as Is frequently
done In England, and the gun is as good
as new.
"There is no such thing as a gun get
ting 'tfervoless.' " continued the Admiral.
"The metal of which it is made is not
Injured by firing. Some of our guns have
been fired 100 times without showing any
Injury or wear. We do not know how
long they will last, except that the rifling
has to be renewed when it is worn out,
but wo have nover had a gun wear out in
our Navy, and therefore cannot speak
from experience, and many of our guns
have bpen fired svnrnl hnnrfrAil firm "
The ordnance experts of the Army esti
mate mat uiq lz-incn guns on the coast
fortifications can bo fired 200 times with
out being rellncd. but this is only specula
tion. They have never had any expe
rience in that line. None, of the big guns
belonging to the United 'States has ever
worn out.
Jones on the Chinese Situation.
MINNEAPOLIS, July ZL Chairman
Jones, of the Democratic National Com
mlttee will leave Minnetonka tomorrow
night for Chicago, and early next week
will open the Democratic headquarters in
that city. Senator Jones said:
"Regarding China, there Is a general
feeling that the President should use all

APPEALTO WAGE-EARNERS
FEDERATION OF LABOR CALLS O
THEM TO ORGANIZES.
St. Louis Transit Company J3eelfcs.es
to Arbitrate the Street-Car
Strike.
DHKTVER, July ZL The executive com
mittee of the American Federation of
Labor today leaned an appeal to all wage
workers to organize and confederate. It
says:
"Throughout our country a struggle is
raging between the oppressor and the op
pressed, the possessors of wealth and the
laborers; Concentration of industry and
wealth is the order of the day. Every
where the workers must suffer disastrous
results, unless they organize and feder
ate to protect and promote their mutual
interests. .
"In this combination and concentration
of wealth the possessors permit no sec
tional or state lines to Interfere with
their power, and it therefore behooves the
tollers, tho wealth-producers, to unite
and federate, regardless of whether they
are located East, West. North or South;
Irrespective of sex, politics, color or re
ligion. The hope of the workers, the
prayer of all our people for justice and
rest, and the perpetuation of republican
institutions, He in organized labor.
"Recognizing these essential truths, tho
executive council of tho American Feder
ation of Labor appeals to all wagework
ers, of whatever trade or calling, to or
ganize unions where such do not now ex
ist, to join those already organized, to
form unions and international unions of
their respective trades and callings, and
to affiliate in one common bond of labor
upon the broad platform and under the
proud banner of the American Federation
of Labor. In calling upon the workers to
unite and federate, we aim to do no one &
wrong, but to establish justice for all."
No Arbitration in St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. July 21, Chairman John T.
Wilson, of the .citizens arbitration com
mittee, today received a reply from the
union men to tho committee's formal let
ter asking the striking street railway em
ployes to submit their differences with tho
Transit Company to arbitration. The re
ply says that the union men have always
been willing to submit their differences
to arbitration, and have repeatedly asked
that the company do the same. Mr. Wil
son said:
"The Transit Company has apparently
not .deemed the letter of the citizens' ar
bitration committee worth the courtesy of
a reply. So the members of our commit
tee think that for all the trouble that may
henceforth result the company will bo re
sponsible." STAGE COACH OF THE PLAINS
It Has Lonsr Passed Away, hut Some
of the Drivers Live.
Kansas City correspondence Chicago Trib
une. It has been many years since the old
stage coach lumbered through the streets
of this city, but some of the drivers are
still living, and one of them, A. L. Car
penter, is a familiar figure about the
streets.
"The want of a bridge over the Kan
sas River," said Mr. Carpenter, "or Kaw
River, as it was first known, is what
made Kansas City. Wyandotte would nat
urally have got all the trade that come
to Kansas City If there had been a
bridge, but as It was the stage busi
ness to Mexico, and even to Salt Lake and
further west, had Its headquarters In
Kansas City, and out of this grew the
outflttlng-houses which gave Kansas City
Its first boom. I carried some notable
people In my stages then, and one was
Kit Carson.
"There were two great stage lines, one
operating to Santa Fe and the other to
San Diego. The Governmont paid $75,000
a year to the San Diego line for carrying
the mail, the stage leaving either ter
minus once a week, making the trip in
an average of a little more than 13 days.
The stage company received $42,000 for
carrying mall to Santa Fe, making the
trip twice a month. The passenger fare
to San Diego was $225, and 40 pounds of
baggage allowed. Following the gold dis
coveries, the stages frequently carried
from $100,000 to $250,000 In gold dust from
tho gold fields.
"One of the curious things connected
with the progress of the times since then
is that the trade between Kansas City
and Mexico now is less than It was In the
days of the stage coach and ox teams,
notwithstanding railroad facilities."
There are no lines of the old stages in
this part of the country now. But there
are many persons here who recall the
time when a stage line ran from Leaven
worth to this point. There was a short
railroad line from St. Joseph, Mo., to
Weston, a few hours' run, and as Weston
was on the Missouri bank, passengers
to and from St. Joseph were ferried on an
old-fashioned flatboat, much like the
scows still in use in the East.
The stage driver in those days was
guide, humorist and philosopher. There is
no character like him now anywhere. He
was the hero of most of his stories, and
the traveler who had knocked about
much always Insisted on a seat with the
driver in preference to the best inside,
because he knew ho would be enter
tained. Undoubtedly the driver had expe
rience which made him an interesting
person, but he soon came to know that
the average tourist by stago was gullible,
and he seldom failed to have a recital
of hairbreadth escapes which held the
attention of his patrons.
Even Horace Greeley listened with In
terest and credulity to these yarns, and
somo of the best specimens of humor
printed in the country were told by the
stage driver, or suggested by him. One
which Artemus Ward Tclated will be new
to the present generation, although it is
old to ancients.
As the coach dashed around the edge
of a canyon. Ward asked the reckless
driver If he never had any accidents.
The driver replied that occasionally a
coach full of people would tumble down
a steep declivity of 1000 feet or so, and
cripple or kill the wholo lot. "But we
don't have"any cripples now, when
there's an accident," said the driver.
"You see, when we cripple a passenger
he sues the company. That makes
trouble. So now when we tumble a lot
down, them as is crippled I takes the
llnch pin to, and kills 'em dead. Dead
folks don't bring lawsuits."
The story was capped by one of Ward's
Inimitable climaxes.
"And thus with anecdotes did he cheer
me along."
But there are no more coaches, few
drivers and no A. Ward.

What Summer Means
In the Cure of Catarrh
There are contracted during the periods
of Fall, Winter and Spring those ca
tarrhal conditions of the head and throat
and other parts that are engaged in
carrying air to the lungs. The changeable
weather, the cold spells followed by warm
periods with thaws and dampness, to
gether with a necosslty during the cold
weather of living indoors with the house
shut up and. often overheated, the Impure
air of closed buildings, all tend to the
development of disease of those parts
which carry the air to the lungs "and to
th ears. Not only does the Inclemency of
Sprinir. Fall and Winter produce uch diseases,
but the same- causes that produce the diseases
alto Interfere with the efforts of tho doctor to
core thero. During- tho Summer months things
oro different. The cllmats is -warmer, the high
winds loaded trtth dusty particles that irri
tate tho diseased pert that carry tho air aro
absent; ther is plenty of fresh air, as tho
bouso is kept open, and this, toother with
outdoor life, so improves the gvneral health
that NatUro Is able to Improve all those dis
eases that attack the breathing tracts and
cars. Tim, in the treatment of all catarrhal
diseases, that which has been frequently
ureed Is true, namely, that one- month o
treatment during- the Summer, when the liabil
ity to catching cold is reduced to tho mini
mum and Nature lends her aid to tho physi
cian. Is worth two months of tho most skillful
and conscientious treatment daring- Winter.
Catarrh 25 Years
Cured by the
Copeland Treatment
Mr. H. Thompson, Sycamore, Mult
nomah County, Oregon: I went to the
Copeland Institute to be treated for ca
tarrhal disease of the nose, throat and
stomach of about 25 years' standing. The
Symptoms I Suffered From
Were those nearly always given by those
afflicted with catarrh:
"Cold in the head all the time and nose
always so stopped up that I couldn't
breathe through it."
"Constant dropplnsr of mucus and ever
lasting hawking and spitting."
"Distracting headache, nose bleed and
loss of smell."
"Defective hearing, especially in the
right ear."
"Bad taste in the morning, with no
relish for breakfast."
"A changeable, craving appetite.
"Misery after eating, with bloating and
belching and growing inability to digest
food."
"Restless nights, with the necessity to
rise and clear the throat."
"Loss of weight and vitality."
This was
The Wretched State I Had
Drifted Into. I was always doctoring, but
without any lasting benefit. I could hard,
ly have be6n worse if I had never used
a drop of medicine. Finally I went to
the Copeland Institute and th.ey soon
made a new man of me. Sly appetite
returned, I gained in weight and tha
catarrh left me. When I began treat
ment I could not hear my watch tick
unless pressed close to tho right ear; now
I hear as well as any one.

THE SEA
FOR TREATING. DISE
Opportunities of
Summer to the Deaf.
It has been seen, even during the In
clement and unfriendly influence of tha
severe Winter weather, and the change
able weather of Spring and Fall, how this,
treatment, even against the influences of
the climate and weather, restores the lost
hearing to those of all ages, and regard
less of the original cause. As is well
known, in Southern climates deafness Is
not nearly so prevalent a3 in the North.
The reason for this is that in a mild
climate the Inflammation which closes tha
Eustachian Tube, thus causing deafness.
Is BUbdued more easily. So, from now
on Doctor Copeland's treatment will
have the wonderful benefits of Nature's
help. Instead of the trying Influences of
her opposition, as it has had during tha
harsh Winter and Spring months. During?
tho Winter and early Spring the influence?
of the wonderful medication finds con-
stant opposition to Its work in opening up)
the inflamed and exposed passages lead
ing from the throat to the inner ear.,
Hence, one month of treatment during",,
the Summer is worth at least two months
in tho Winter.
DISCHARGING EARS AND DEAFNESS
Ox. ST. Dcmtait, FostofHoo addrestfc
Portland: Many years ago I had dlpbi
theria and since that time have beei
troubled with my ears. There was a con-,
stant discharge from both ears. Some
times It was merely a little watery dls-j
charge; at other times It was thick anal
foul. I had sharp, shooting pains through
the ears, and a terrible Itching. At tlmea
this would nearly set me wild. The eartfi
were dry and scaly.
Jly hearing was very dull. Z could not,
understand the common tones of theu
voice. At church I could not hear whatf
the minister said unless I was right upj
in front. I could not hear the clock ticlq
except when close up to it. There was a
continual buzzing and roaring in my head!
and a stopped-up feeling.
Under the treatment given, me at thd
Copeland Institute my ears healed andti
my hearing returned. I will gladly!
answer any letters, for I am alwayaj
pleased to recommend tho treatment thaw
has done so much, for me.
