A Novel Scene at Canton,
Ohio.
BOTH CANDIDATES SHAKE HONORS

Is Waiting t"r the Trnin 1 hey
Call Vpou McKinlf i.
Chicago, .ug. 10. A little before
midnight last night Bryan reaamed his
journey to New York over the Pennsyl
vania Central. At all the stations, not
withstanding the early hoar, large
crowds gathered and gave him an en
thusiastic reception. The people climbed
over and under the cars with the ut
most recklessness in their zeal to get
near the car platform. At most of the
stops Bryan made a few remarks.
Both Candidate Speak.
Canton, O., Aug. 10. The Bryan re
ception committee from Pittsburg, com
posed of about sixty prominent dem
ocrats of that city headed by County
Chairman Holer, arrived at Canton at
noon today, and finding that they bad
nearly two hours to wait before the
train arrived, decided to call upon Major
McKinley. Morris Forster- acted as
spokesman. He said he believed any
candidate for the presidency was woir
thy the greatest respect of every one,
regardless of political affiliations. In
response, McKinley said:
"I am deeply grateful to receive this
friendly visit from the Bryan reception
committee. Although we are of differ
ent political belief, we are, as American
citizens, proud of our country and be
lieve in common that we have now
will continue to have in the future
best government in the world. I
cerely thank yon, gentlemen, for
and
the
visit aud assure von it gives me great
pleasure."
At the conclusion of the brief address
McKinley greeted each member of the
delegation in person.
When the 1:40 p. m. Pennsylvania
train pulled into Canton, 15 minutes
late, bringing Bryan, thousands were at
the depot to cheer their fellow towns
men opponent in this campaign. Spe
cial trains bad brought delegations from
all over Southeastern Ohio.
Allen Cook, the local Populist leader,
escorted Bryan to a flat car. After the
applause had subsided Mayor Rice pre
sented Bryan, who said:
"I am glad in this city, the home of
my distinguished opponent, to testify to
his character and personal worth (tre
mendous cheering for McKinley.) I
shall be satisfied if as a private individ
ual 1 may be able to stand beside him in
public esteem, but, friends, this is not a
contest between persons. It matters
little to the American people whether
your distinguished townsman or myself
as individuals occupy the chief execu
tive position of the greatest nation upon
earth, bnt it does matter for what policy
the president shall stand, and in this
campaign pet son a are lost sight of in the
cause which these persons represent."
DROPPING INTO THE XtGIH.
Laid in the Vicinity of Mansfield, Mo.,
Gradually Slaking.
Mansfield, mo., Aug. io. rue peo
ple throughout this section of the coun
try are becoming much alarmed over
what appears to be the gradual sinking
of the earth in certain localities. It has
been a little more than a year ago since
a whole field fell an average of a little
more than two feet. Within the last
two weeks the ground has become very
dry from want of moisture, and as a re
suit crevices, some of which are a foot
wide, have appeared in the earth
Eight miles south of here, in Douglas
county, there is a very noticeable de
pression of several inches, covering more
than a section of land.
Another evidence of this inexplicable
phenomena occurred in Texas county a
day or two ago, when a sudden sagging
of the earth swallowed up a horse while
bitched to a plow, and it was with diffi
culty that the driver saved himself.
These strange occurrences 6eem to come
periodically with certain seasons and
although they have been the subject of
investigation for scientific., purposes, no

WOULD KK A SI JC NATO It
Ki -President Harrison Haw Political
A aplration.
Chicago, Aug. 10. Ex-President Har
rison is said to be a candidate for United
States senator and to be ready to make
fight for the place this fall. The
statement that the ex-president would
like to return to the senate, which he
left to become president, was made to
day by a Republican close to the party
leaders. He said :
"Mr. Harrison wants tiie place. He is
desirous of returing to public life for
several reasons, which I am not at pres
ent able to eive, and his old place as
United States senator from Indiana
would be no Iobs of prestige in his going
to the senate after occupying the office
of president. There are plenty of pre
cedents for it. John Quincy Adams,
after he retired as president, went to
the senate after he had left the presi
dency. James Monroe was postmaster
of New York after he was president."
If it is true that Mr. Harrison wants
to go to the senate, he will probably
have a bitter opponent in the person of
Charles M. Fairbanks, who was tempo
rary chairman of the Republican na
tional convention at St. Louis.
DISTRESS IN .NEW YORK..
Horses Dropping Dead by Scores, and
Hundreds of Workers Prostrated.
New York, Aug. 10. The deaths
caused by the heat in Greater New York
is 100, and additional victims are being
reported hourly.
The prostrations are almost innumer
able, and no accurate statement of them
can be made. Ambulances and patrol
wagons have been running about all day,
the sound of their gongs becoming
familiar. Street-car horses have dropped
in their tracks by scores. Out-of door
work has been largely suspended, and
many factories are temporarily closed.
Iter Mlssien Ended.
Constantinople, Aug. 10. Miss Clara
Barton, president of the American
branch of the lied Cross Society, has
started on her return to the United
States, her mission of distributing relief
to the Armenians having been ended.
"Lout Live Free Cuba."
Valencia, Spain, Aug. 10. Riotous
demonstrations against the government
continue. This city was placarded yes
terday with posters reading "Long live
free Cuba," "Long live social revolu
Hon," etc.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to 'learn that there is at least
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 surfaces 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 so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
ofl'er One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for "list of

MarTelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to inaka this extract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King's New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous :n the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at River Junction . she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours wHh little in
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King's New Discovery ; it
was qnick in its work and highly satis
factory in results." Trial bottles free at

As there will be numerous requests
lor reaucea rates on account oi political
meetings during the coming contest, it
has been decided tba in order to treat
all parties alike, a one fare rate will be
made by the O. R. & 3. Co. lor various
meetings of this character. ' .
This of course is intended only for oc
casions where there is sufficient number
to justify a reduction in rates. This is
done so that there wil' be no partiality
in favor of any one party.
