SAD DEATH.
We regret to learn of sad death
of Mr. Thomas H. McGalliard, one of
the oldest and best citizens of Banka
conn tv,
Mr. McGalliard went to Maysville
on August 11th, and in the afternoon
slut ted to return to his home, by some
menus the mule which he was driving
became frightened and run away.
It seems that he made an effort to
jump from the buggy, and in doing so
was caught in the wheel, which result
ed in his head being crushed in a lior
nfyi ng manner which resulted in al
most lustant death.
Mr, McGalliard was about t>6 years
of age, and leave's a large family to
mourn his death.

THE SPORTING WORLD.
Nothing else is anything like a race
track. It has an atmosphere different
from any other thing on earth. The
flash of the spotted silks, the dust of
tbs pounded track, the wafted odors
from the stables and paddock, and the
people there are all different from
Iverything and everybody else. The
•ntsider who only drops in now and
then and sits still in the stand to watch
the horses run does not understand it
sib The men he sees about him do not
act like ordinary human beings, and
the women are decidedly straugo to
him. Instead of passing the time o’ day
everybody asks everybody else, "What
do you like?” Men with flashing dia
monds ask the question of ragged negro
boys from the stables. Men ask of wom
en and women shout it from the stand
to the men on their way to the betting
ihed. It is universal. “What do you
iike?"
There is one thing true about the
people who form the motley crowd at u
race track that is true of people of all
aorta and conditions the world over—
the man who knows tbo least is the
most liberal with his information. To
the regular salutation of "What do you
like?” the man who couldn't tell a sell
ing plater from a stuko winner bred in
the purple always lias a ready answer.
He is always ready to tell yon that
lome "baby" can't lose, and you dis
cover later that the “baby” not only
eau lose, but can canter in "absolutely”
last in a field of “dogs.”
The man whoso opinion is of value
never knows much. His mouth is as
tight us a saddle strapped for a hurdle
race.
"What do you like?” you ask him.
"Don’t like any.”
"Well, who do yon think has a show?”
" Any of ’em. ”
"Don't you thiuk Swayback will
win?”
"Well, be might run inside the mon
ey it he gets off well, but it ain’t no
two to one that he don't gc-t left at the
post. ”
That is the man whose information
oiight be worth something.—Kausa*

The discovery of McElfree’s Wine

complaints, from which all women
sometimes suffer, called "Female
Diseases.” The belief that these
troubles could only be treated after
examinations by physicians, and
frequetiy only cured by the surgeon’s
knife, was once widespread. Tbe
dread of such treatment, and expos
ure kept thousands of modest women
silent about their suffering. They
preferred the pains and tarture to
going to a physician about bucli
matters.

If a congress or a president of the Unit

the Republicans would be defeated.
Not only have the business interests and
the workingmen been woefully disap
pointed by the nonarrival of that much
promised wave of prosperity, but the
farmers report bad crops, so that they
will be no better off than the rest of us,
despite tho assurances of McKinley and
fianna to the contrary.
The department of agriculture, which
is now iu charge of a good Republican,
has just sent out the figures that he has
been able to gather, and they show that
both the corn aud the wheat crops, by
far tho two most important, show a
fulling off from last year’s average, aud
the only consolation is that other coun
tries are doing no better.
Those farmers who, on account of tho
disorders iu Cuba, turned to tobacco as
a good crop to plant will be very mnch
disappointed, too, in the yield, which
is reported to be 20 per cent below that
of last year. From all this it is clear j
that no class of people will be contented

THE DINGLEY TARIFF.
Conducive to the Growth of Trust# and
Impoverishment of Labor.
The McKinley administration will be
known in history as the creator of an
era of high prices and scarce money.
These are the conditions most conducive
to the growth of trusts and impoverish
ment of tbo producers of wealth.
High prices that are the result of
limiting production mean low wages,
for as the opportunities for limiting
production ax* increased so also are the
opportunities for controlling the price
of labor increased. The Diugley bill’s
high wall of protection will shut the
consumer ont from the benefits of the
world’s.markets and confine him to a
home market constantly narrowed by
the operations of the trusts which are
fostered by the bill.
Tbe prohibitive duties levied by the
bill will decrease revenues from im
ports to the point of forcing upon con
gress tho necessity of enlarging tbe list
of articles upon which are now imposed
internal revenue taxes. This means the
increase of the price of all commodities
of prime necessity without uuy com
pensating increase in the price of farm
products. Internal revenue taxes do not
benefit the producers of raw materials.
On the contrary, they raise the prices
of tho manufactured article which the
producer has to buy. The farmer, there
fore, will have double burdens of taxa
tion placed upon him without onjoying
any of the benefits of high prices which
tbe bill will produce.
And tbe farmer, the arfisas and the
laborer will alike share tbe hardships
of the scarcity of money which is being
enhanced by the conduct of the treasury
at Washington. Iu other words, the first
five mouths of the McKinley adminis
tration present the grewsome prospect
of unnaturally high prices for a period
of four years with a constantly con
tracting currency. Such a combination
at atrocities was never before imposed
\pon a free people. And over it all
there is the oouscionsness that under
this anomalous condition of affairs mast
ensue greater prosperity to the trusts
than was ever enjoyed by those con
cerns.
Patriotism and firm faith in the
■trengfli of tbo American institutions
furnish the only hope of meeting tho
difficulties ahead of tho nation and of
tho ultimate triumph of a free govern
ment whose benefits arc equally distzib
nted.—St. Louis RenubUo.

TO SAVE ARID LANDS.
NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS
WILL MEET IN LINCOLN, NEB.
Beveutft •. Slates ciicl Territories Will Send
JPolegnlcs —Action Will Probably lie
Taken to Secure Fedora' Aid For Re
claiming Waste Lunds.
Tho national irrigation congress will
hold its sixth annual session at Lincoln,
Neb., on tJie 28th, 21,'tli and 80th cf Sep
tember. Seventeen states aud territories
will send delegates, among the latter
being the recognized western exports in
irrigation aud many well known advo
cates cf the use of Federal money to re
claim the vast arid and semiarid lands
which, but for the lack of water, would
now be supporting millions of indus
trious and thrifty people. Every effort
is promised to mako this session as sat
isfactory in results as the previous ouos
have been in laying piaus.
It cannot be said that tho irrigation
ists in trying to secure aid from con
gress have entered upon a holiday task,
for the opposition among eastern farm
ers to any scheme for putting more ag
ricultural land into competition with
what is already growing crops is not
only earnest, but bitter. We have iu
band a circular signed by F. S. Peer of
Livingston county, N. Y., which was
issued after tho adjournment of the fifth
annual session of the national irriga
tion congress, in which the proposal to
reclaim arid lauds is denounced as “a
scheme of land speculators and hind
grabbers, whoso business has gradually
diminished as tho laud has been taken
np, and who are now sighing for new
fields to conquer. ” Mr. Peer argues that
the government's old habit of giving
away farms to the immigrant peasantry
of Europe who, men, women and chil
dren of a family together, work 18 hours
a day, dress iu rags and go to no ex
pense for reading matter, schooling or
deoent clothes, has so hantlioapped the
eastern farmer with his $ 100 land and
greater cost of living that he can barely
make both ends meet. Henco be be
lieves that to increase that area of
competition is to either compel tho east
erner to come down to tho foreign level
or to submit to failure and beggary.
That Mr. Peer’s views are common on
tho other sido of the Mississippi argues
that any attempt to get western irriga
tion taken caro of by congress will meet
with serious and protracted opposition
there.
But 15 states (reclusive cf territo
ries) acting as a unit in congress
means the work cf SU senators and
enough congressmen to wield a power
ful iuflueuce. If tho irrigation congress
ean agree upon a plan of action and get
the western seuutors and representatives
to adopt it, the fact of general eastern
hostility need not be deemed insur
mountable. When the east or a part of
it wants favors, then will be tho time
to make bargains. For example, tbe
east demands river and harbor im
provement on a great scale, much of it
for merely local convenience. But if the
west oppose some of the meas
ures that come up and aid others that
seem worthy, the solidity of the eastern
phalanx would bo broken and Votes
gained for onr own projects. It is not
merely the power of strategy, but the
power of justice, which would work in
favor of the west, for in the beginning
the eastern laud, itself was given away
by the government, turnpike roads were
