StTtATIOS AT WASHINGTON.
Various Party Managers Are
All Con-
fident of Success.
Washington-, Aug. 11. Political af
fairs are quiet at .the several headquar
ters. The weather seems to affect the
politicians. At Republican headquar
ters letters from Kansas, Iowa and Mis
souri all spoke of improvement in the
political outlook, and said all that was
needed was to get quantities of financial
literature.
The Democratic campaign committee
issued a document today on the "busi
ness men's campaign." It eays that the
Republicans propose such a campaign,
and that the Democracy accepts the is
sue. The document first quotes Mr. Bryan's
declaration that the farmer or the hired
employe is as much as business man as
the banker or the big merchant. It
then gives a list of the number of per
sona employed in 14 gainful pursuits, in
cluding agriculture, mioing, manufact
uring, transportation, the purpose being
to show the comparatively email per
centage comprised under the head of
bankers, brokers, wholesalers and cor
poration officers are business men, while
from the Democratic standpoint the
millions of farmers, producers and lab
orers of all classes are as much business
men as the few who live, thrive and
grow rich by trading in the products of
labor.
Senator Jones, chairman of the nation
al Democratic committee; Senator
Faulkner, chairman of the congressional
committee, and Lawrence Gardner, of
the latter committee, have gone to New
York to attend the meeting of the na
tional committee today and meet Mr.
Bryan. - '

Treasury Accidentally Distributes Free-
Silver Speeches.
Washington, Aug. 11. home con
sternation has been created at the treas
ury department through the discovery
that in some unexplained manner the
bureau officers had been guilty of circu
lating some of Senator Stewart's
speeches. To answer comprehensively
all the many questions relating to the
currency question that have been pour
ing in, Secretary Carlisle some time ago
caused to be prepared circular No. 113,
a pamphlet of fifty-three printed pages,
giving much information respecting
bond issues, paper currency and the
like. When an application for informa
tion was received, the answer to which
could be found in this pamphlet, the
bureau chief receiving the letter would
imply mail one of these circulars to the
applicant in place of writing out an un
swer.
ibis has been going on lor at least a
week, and there is no telling how many
circulars were sent out when a letter
came to hand from one of the recipients
calling attention to the fact that the de
parturient had .sent in answer to hi:
question, a copy of a strong silver speech
delivered bv. Senator Stewart in the
senate September 5th Inst, when a fill
buster was goinz on. .
An examination of the piles of circu
lars lying in the department showed
that' in some way the public printing
office had bound up in the cover pur
porting to state the contents of the
pamphlet a namber of the .silver

speeches. The officials eay they have
found only seventeen of the speeches so
far, but there is no means of learning
just how many of them have been sent
out under the guise of sound financial
statistics.

man, a Frenchman, about 45 years old,
was murdered by some unknown per
sons, within the city limits, either Mon

on its way to Spokane, the trainmen saw
a man's body on the ground in the rear
of the cattle corral of Ennis & Co., near

here. Officers went to the place and
found Roman's body lying flat on his
back. The head was slightly raised
against a post. By the left shoulder
vas a small pistol, and above the center
of the forehead was a wound made by
the fatal bullet, - The man's face and
shirt were covered with blood and the
body lay in a pool of blood.
The officers removed the body to an
undertaker's, and the coroner held an in
quest. It was at first supposed, the man
had committed suicide, but a phjsician
examined the wound and found the bul
let had ranged downward and - lodged in
the base of the brain. No signs of pow
der marks were found, and the physi
cian stated that, from the direction the
ball took it was impossible for the man
to have. committed the deed himself.. ',

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 turned 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:
'I Ayer's Sareaparilia is : not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list ' of nostrums; , It is here on its
merits." -
: A good recommendation for Simmons
Liver Regulator is, that it is purely
vegetable and strongly tonic. Then too,
it is better .than Pills because easier to
take in liquid or powder and with no
griping, while the relief from ' Constipa
tion,. Biliousness, Sick Headache and
Dyspepsia is quick' and sure. . "I find
Simmons Liver Regulator a very safe
and valuable family . medicine." Rev.
J. M. Rollins, Fairfield, Va. "
Reduction In Railroad Fares. .
As there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of political
meetings during the coming contest, it
has been decided that, in order to treat
all parties alike, a on fare rate will be
made by the O. R. & N. 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.
