the commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, makes pnblic
long order to, the Grand Army posts
against the members wearing the
badge and uniform participating in
demonstrations where the Confederate
flag is carried.
After a recital of the Unties of the
Grand Army in the premises, the great
services of the Union army during the
war, the order concludes:
"If this grand army of loyaly Citizens
serves no other pnrpoee, it will keep
fresh in the hearts of the rising genera
tion that love of conntry, that devo
tion to the union, that reverence for the
stars and stripes.
The constitution and laws which in
future, as they have been in the past,
must be anchors which hold ns firmly
to a solid, permanent and prosperous
national existence.
"With these words of admonition I
have snfHcieiit confidence in yonr honor
and fidelity to the principles of the or
der, to foel that there will be no further
participation in any demonstration or
parade where the emblem of treason is
carried or displayed.
"Let the cause which triumphed in
war be maintained in completeness, its
victory and fullness of its siguificauue. ”

Shelbyville, Ind., Nov. 7.—Miss
Maggie Doniger, nn estimable and 'Win
some young Indy 18 years df age, has
just begun a most unique treatment
for consumption. It challenges the at
tention of the medical fraternity, and
may yet rival the famous Dr. Koch’s
lymph or the notorious Dr. Brown-Se-
qnard’s elixir vital as a remedy tor tu
berculosis. For some time Maggie has
been suffering from pulmonary affec
tion. and all medicul skill einployed,has
failed to give her relief. Finally, un
der the direction of her medical advi
ser, she has concluded to take a coarse
of dietitic treatment, which is to consist
exclusively of young dog flesh. For
this purpose a fat healthy Newfound
land pup was killed and nicely dressed
by George Harman and she began eat
ing it. It is claimed that dog flesh in
the coarse of assimilation is converted
into a lymph ot more than ordinary vi
tality. which being absorbed by the
blood corpuscles supplants the decayed
tissue ana adds new strength and vigor
to the patient. Whether this be true
or not Maggie proposes to test it* effi

Middlesbohough, Ky., Nov. 7.— Ex-
Governor Alonzo B. Cornell of New
York, has arrived here and will spend a
few days. He said that be was the last
Republican executive of the empire
state, and he waa surprised and unpre
pared to hear of the reeult of the recent
elections in New York, end especially
in Massachusetts and Iowa. He wee
asked for an opinion upon the pa
tiee of McKinley becoming the Repub
lican candidate for the presidency in
1899. The ex-governor replied that the
Ohio election meant nothing of spe
cial significance, and that McKinley
will not and oouid not loom up as a seri
ous or formidable presidential candi
date. When pressed for a reason be
added with considerable irony, that the
man whose name commenced with Mo
would never be the nominee of either of
the great parties, nor conld be be elect
ed even if the nomination were secured.

Washington, Nov. 7.—The Medical I
[society of this city disonssed a some
what peculiar case brought to its at
tention hy one of its members in whose
practice it occurred. Somo three weeks
ago he delivered a lady of a strong,
well-formed boy, and the younster has
Lines been thriving wonderfully well.
A few days ago the physician was
called in by the young mother in much
alarm, who reported that the boy's
breasts hud rounded out to considerable
size, and that they yielded quite a quan
tity of milk wbenaabjected to pressure.
The physician on investigation discov
ered the fact to be as stated, and at
once prescribed for the baby to prevent
farther development in that direction.
Daring the discauion of the earner-1
eral pbyaiciansstatedthnt this apparent
phenomenon waa not entirely unknown
among very young boy babies, but they
had not known of it personally in a boy
ot that age.

the snow is ten feet deep. Many per
sons have died from the effects of cold,
and thousands of cuttle and sheep have

daring the last seven days, as reported
to R. G. Don ts Co., unmber for the
United States 228, and Cauada 48, or
288, compared with 255 last week and
249 the week previous. For the corre
sponding week last year the flgnrea
were 215. The failure of a widely
known bauk at Boston was a striking
event of the week, bnt has caused
tonishment rather than disturbance.
The withdrawals of money from this
point to fortify Boston have canted
higher rates of interest, 6 per cent,
against 8 per cent, weeks ago, but sup
plies continue to come steadily from
Europe. The Bank of England does not
change its rates, though losing gold
largely, and the official treasury report
shows the addition of 183,000,000 to the
actual circulation of all kinds in Octo
ber. Crops are moving freely, so that
it seems scarcely possible that any im
portant monetary distnrhance should
arise at present. It is also a reassnring
fact to eastern capltaliste and investors
that the western elections have resulted
in the complete defeat of those who ad
vocated wild financial schemes. Sc
that their power in the next session of
congress is likely to be much dimin
ished.
Reports from ‘ail parts of the conntry
shows that bnsincss, though interrupt
ed somewhat by the elections, has been
healthy and large in volume. At Bos
ton the failure of the Maverick bank
caused some uneasiness, bnt business
continues steady and healthy. No lack
of confidence is seen, and money is easy.
The only cities reporting monetary
pressure are Omaha and Savannah. .
The iron industry, in spite of the low
est prices ever known for some products,
shows no. despoptyenoy, ana. the de
mand for manufactured iron and steel
does not diminish. Trade in dry goods
-looks a little-better.- Spring woolen*
are in- rather more demand, the dress
goods season 'is ‘fairly satisfactory, and
•agents have begun to show overcoating
with fair -resalts. The recent decision
as to worsteds open the way to largely
increased imports.
Trade in cottons is not jnst now
equal to last year’s, bnt for the whole
season thns far it has been considered
larger.
serious Collision.
A Steuuier Intuit-Into » Tow of Marge*
and I* Wrecked.
Evansvii.i.r, Ind., Nov. 7.—While the
steamer Bine Wing was en route to
Evansville she met-the towboat a( Long-
fellow, with a large tow of empty coal
barges, going up the river. The steamer
and barges met in a bunch of fog just
above Spottsvllle, Ky., and so dense
the vapor that neither conid
the other, and a collision occurred. The
iron-trimmed bargee, which ere not
only massive and powerfnlly bnilt, bnt
which stand fully eight feet out of the
water, plowed right throngh the Bine
Wing, tearing down her stanchions, lev
eling the guards and playing havoc gen
erally with the cabin. Clerk Stein,who
was asleep in his state room, was rob
bed of his bed, which succumbed to the
barge and tumbled into the wreck.
There was no loss of life, though sev
eral of the crew received painful inju
ries. The Nine Wing is almost a total
wreck, while the bargee were only
slightly damaged. Wjwre the fault Uss
for the accident cannot be stated at
this time. The officers of. the. Bine
Wing declare that they were complying
with the law, which demands that a
steamer running in the fog most blow
tte whittle at Intervale of a few min
utes. The Longfellow's officers make
the aame claim, out neither heard the
other.

Kansas City, Nov. 7.—The Missouri
Pacific passenger train which was held
np and robbed at West Bide,. near
Omaha, strived here at 9 o'clock in the
morning, three hours late. The train
looked as it It had gone through the
war. The front door ot the express car
broken into splinters. The fruut door
of the smoking car had the glass
■mashed ont by ballets, and the other
can were more or less perforated with
ballet holes.
The Pacific express car was the only
one that was robbed. Immediately af
ter the train arrived here the express
matter that the robbers did not take
was sent to the company's office. Sam
Green, the messenger, went to the su-
perintendent’a office and was closeted
with the superintendent for some time.
Before he saw his superior he
wonld say nothing abont the
robbery. Afterwards he said the
robbers only got about $280.83. Super
intendent Jouhnson also says the rob
bers got but $385.88. It seems to be
the generul belief, however, that $0,000
will more nearly cover the company's
loss. The best story of the robbery is
told by Fireman Blanchard, and is sub
stantiated as follows:
"We had got pretty near to the Fre
mont, Elkliorn and Missonri Valley
crossing, twelve miles this side of
Omaha, when I saw two masked fel
lows with gnns in their hands come
crawling over to the water tank and
coal in the tender.

with an oath, .and'my bands went np
that quick. Bnt Cavanangh did not
hold np his hands at all. He just kept
them on the- lever and stop-cock and
looked nron nd over his shoulder. " Slow

around proiniscnons like, and did not
seem to care where their bullets went

express car and into the smoker and all

been a hundred shots fired.
They gave me an ax and told me to
break in the wrecked door of the ex-
prese car. I did not work very good
and they got mad and commenced firing
into the platform where I stood. One
bullet ont Caranangh's overalls and
grazed his leg. Then they saw the

with all sorts of horrible things if they
voted for Redmond or failed to vote lor

At the close of the polling, Flavin
was generally credited with victory.
The poll bosses were escorted from out

The polling was heavy. Even the lame

heretofore muzzled the press and ban

newspaper men are taking advantage of

WANT BLAINE.
Main* and McKinley the Cholca of
Kanaa* Republican*#
Topeka, Nov. 7.—The recent elec
tions in New York, Massachusetts,
Ohio, Pennsylvania nnfi Iowa have
caused a great, deal of presidential talk
among the leaders ot both parties.
Blaine has always been the choice of
the Kansas Republicans, but the recent
elections have stimulated the senti
ment, and nearly every Republican is
for him., A quiet meeting was held by.a
few leading Repnblicans of the state to
start a movement for Blaine and Mc
Kinley for 1802. It is surprising the
number of Repnblicans who have an
nounced their names as their choice.
The meeting was attended by promi
nent Republicans, who are desirous of
forming Blaine and McKinley olubs
over the state, and prepare to send a
solid delegation to the next convention
for these leuders. It is claimed that in
the event of Mr. Blaine’s death, a man
his peer as a leader wonld succeed to
the presidency, and that inch a ticket
would win against all combinations.
