Chicago, July 30. Senator Thurston,
of Nebraska, will open the Western
campaign for the Republican ticket at
Madison, Wis., tomorrow night. Some
how or other the impression got abroad
that the campaign in the West would be
opened by Major McKinley himself at
Columbus, August 12.
Chairman Hahn, of the bureau of
campaign speakers, came here on Mon
day. Every moment eince his ai rival
he has been besieged by the leaders in
the several states under the jurisdiction
of the Western headquarters to tarn his
campaign orators loose at once. Mr.
Hahn was not averse to fanning the fire
of enthusiasm, and he began making
assignments yesterday.
His first general order was a command
to Senator Thurston to buckle on his ar
mor and take to the field, on Friday to
remain fighting, too, by the way, until
the eve of election. Thurston will go
East to accept assignments from the
New York headquarters, returning to
the West September 1.
Ttoswell G. Horr will deliver six
speeches in Nebraska, beginning with

Hankers of California Issue
Appeal to the People.
Sax Fbancisco, July 30. The Cali
fornia Bankers Association has issued a
pamphlet on the financial question,' as
the members believe the currency issue
is the vital issue of the presidential cam
paign. They take the position that the
plank in the Democratic platform favor
ing the ''free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, without awaiting similar
action by any other government," is a
most dangerous one. They set forth
that if the United ' States should
alone attempt free coinage of silver at
that ratio, gold would be hoarded to
await a premium or shipped to foreign
countries, and silver alone remain as a
circulating medium. They also fear
that capital would , be driven away,
credit paralyzed and enterprise crippled-
The pamphlet concludes :
"Convinced 'of the righteousness of
our cause, and earnestly wishing to pro
mote the general welfare, we unhesi
tatingly express our decided opinion
that every vote against 'free coinage of
silver at the ratio of IS to 1' is a vote for
the return of confidence and prosperity ;
for the benefit of all classes ; for the pro
tection of your families and homes, and,
above all, for the preservation of your
own and your country's honor."
The work mapped out by Mr. Corey
and approved by the executive commit
tee, will be to make this club the parent
organization, and all traveling men will
be invited to become a part of one of
the greatest organizations for campaign
work in the United States. Every trav
eliug man's name will be entered on the
list, and a membership card will be is

Gloucester, a Small Ohio Town, Almost
Totally Destroyed.
Athens, O., July 30. The most de
structive storm in the history of Sunday
Creek valley occurred at Gloucester, a
mining town twelve miles north of kere
last night, resulting in the almost total
destruction of one of the principal thor
onghfares of the town. The fury of the
wind is indescribable. Buildings were
toppled over, trees torn from their roots,
and the town is a scene of desolation.
J. L. Dougherty was struck by a
plank and instantly killed. Four other
persons are reported dead, and several
seriously injured. A livery stable with
six horses, vehicles, etc., was blown
into the creek and swept away. Nearly
every building in the town is damaged.
To add to the horror, Sunday creek is a
sweeping, raging torrent. Several bouses
have been washed away, and two per
sons are reported drowned.
Later Word has just been received
that the list of dead will reach fifteen.
Express Crashes Into Excursion Train
Near Atlantic City.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 30. A
railroad accident, horrible in its details
and sickening in its results, occurred
this evening, just outside of this city,
and as a result about 100 persons are
either killed or injured.
The Reading railroad express, which
left Philadelphia at 5:40 o'clock this
evening for Atlantic City, crashed into
a Pennsylvania railroad excursion train
at the second signal tower, about four
miles out from, here..
The Pennsylvania train'was returning
to Bridgeton with a party of excursion
ists from that place, Milville and neigh
boring towns. It was loaded with passengers,-
and a rough estimate ot the
killed and injured at a late hour places
the number at 100. It is hoped that
this is an exaggeration, but the number
is undoubtedly more than 50.
At the second signal tower, the tracks
of the two roads diagonally cross. The
Reading train was given the signal to
stop, but the . brakes either failed to
work or the speed of the express was too
great to be checked in time. It caught
the excursion train broadside and
ploughed through, literally cleaving it
in twain. The engine of the Reading
train was shattered to pieces. Every
car on the excursion train was jammed
to its fullest capacity.

None But Ayer's at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of -other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all tnrned away
under the application" of the' rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It' is here on its
merits." '

The. readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at laast
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known - to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cnre is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous sutlaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have no much
faith in its curative powers, that they

that it fails to cure. Send for list of
