St. Louis, Juno 17. —The Colora

WILL THE POPS SPLIT.
Some Speculation as to What the
People’s Party Will Do.
Local leaders of the people’s
party are discussing the probabil
ity of a bolt in the national con
vention of that party in St. Louis
July 21, says the Record, of Chi
cago. On the same day and in the
same city the silver men hold their
national convention, and it gener
ally has been understood that in
case neither tho republicans nor
tho democrats ad >pt a free-silver;
plank, the silver party, people’s j
party, silver denr crats, silver re- j
publicans and silver prohibition
ists will fuse into a free silver par
ty at St. Louis.
Now, however, it is said that a
great many prominent men in the
people’s party decidedly object to
this fusion. They want to retain
their party name and Omaha plat
form and do not want tho people’s
party to bo lost in tho silver par
ty-
Part of tho people’s party want;
to fuse with tho silver ■
and silver republicans on the sin- ;
gio issue of tho free coinage of sil
ver at tho ratio «.f 16 to 1, inde
pendent of every other nation.
Tho contest is becoming sharp, and
it is predicted that by the time
tho convention meets assembles at
St. Louis there will bean animated
fight within the ranks of the party
“The populist party is split in
two,” said a well known silver
man from the west yesterday, “and
tho factions are almost equally
divided. Tho straight-laced pop
ulists, who want a long platform,
are Ignatius Donnelly, ex-Gov.
Waite, tho Vincent brothers of In
dianapolis, Mrs. Lease and Chair
man Loucks, of South Dakota. On
the other hand, National Chairman
Taubeneck, Gen. Weaver and Rob
ert Schilling are said to favor a
free silver nlatform, with practi
cally nothing else. lowa is for the
single issue. Tho scheme seems
to be to nominate Senator Morgan
of Alabama, on a 16 to 1 platform
and then have the silver conven
tion indorse him. A great many
populists out west oppose this and
unquestionably will bolt tho St.
L >uis convention.”
Tho leaders of the people’s par
ty in Cook county do not agree on
tho relative strength of the two
factions. Howard S. Taylor, chair
man of tho people’s party commit
tee, said regarding tho matter:
“There is an overwhelming ma
jority in favor of retaining tho
Omaha platform. Not 100 dele
gates at St. Louis will favor fusion.
There must be a peop’e’s party in
tho field after the election in No
vember. The Taubeneck wing is
in favor of maintaining tho Oma
ha platform, the part} 7 name and
organization. Under no circutn
st inces will either of these bo sur
rendered.”
“A large majority of tho popu
list papers,” said Col. Roberts-, a
member of tho county committee,
“are opposed to the abandonment
of the Omaha platform, particu
larly tho planks on money, land
land transportation. Mr. Brieden
. that of Kansas, is in favor of a
: union of forces on tho single issue
lof free silver, which me; ns drop
■ ping all tho rest cf the platform.
Opposed to ttais plan aro Tracy
i and Parks of Texas and Morgan
;of Arkansas. The state commit
tee of Texas, however, is favorable
to union. Woman’s suffrage and
other “isms” will be cut off. Many
of the silver prohibitionists ’have
] said they would go with us.”

Upon the death of W. A. J.
Wilbanks. To the Worsihpful
Master, Wardens and brethren of

Having been appointed a com
mittee to draft suitable and ap
propriate resolutions in memory
lof our deceased brother, W. A. J.
Wilbanks, who died at his resi
! dence in Walker county Ga., on
March 19, 1896. Brother Wil-
I banks was born January 1, 1854.

Passed to the Fellow craft degree
June 19, 1888 and raised to the
sublime of Master Mason July 7,
1888. He was a member of the
Christian church, a good and use
| ful citizen in the community in
I which ho lived.
Brc. 'Wilbanks was in feeble
health for more than a year before
his death, but boro his afflictions
patiently waiting for the summons
to come up higher. And whereas
| Brother Wilbanks leaves a wife
1 and seven children who mourn the
loss of a husband aid father;
Therefore be it resolved, That
a Lodge, collectively and in
dividually, du regret the sad death
of our brother and that wo bow
submissively to the will of our
Heavenly Master, who doeth all
things for our good.
That we tender to the bereaved
family of our brother and all his
relatives and friends our heartfelt
sympathy and that wo invoke the
blessings of God upon them in
their bereavement.
That there be a page in our min

and that these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this

If it required an annual outlay
of SIOO to insure a family against
any serious cor sequences from an
attack of bowel complaint during
the year there are many who would
feel it their duty to pay it; that
they could not afford to risk their
lives, and those of their family for
such an amount. Any one can get
this insurance for 25 cents, that
being the price of a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. In almost ev
ery neighborhood some one has
died from an attack of bowel com
plaint before medicine could be
procured or a physician summon
ed. One or two doses of this rem
edy will cure any ordinary case.
It never fails. Can you afford to
take the risk for so small an a

For Remarks He Made About a
Young Lady.
Dalton, June 17.—Rev. M. M.
Walraven, pastor of north Dalton
Methodist church, was assaulted
late yesterday by Mr. Hub Mullin
ax, and it is said gave the minis
ter a sound thrashing, for alleged
abusive language used in the pul
pit last’Sunday night toward the
lady in company with Mr. Mullin
ax. Mr. Walraven is said to com
monly use abusive expressions to
ward his communications who do
not walk upright, as ho thinks
they should. A great many have
grievances toward the eccentric
divine on these hues, and many
threats have been made by mem
bers of his church itffid congrega
tion. Mr. Walraven is the pastor
who knelt down and prayed be
tween waltzes at a dance in north
Dalton some time since reported
the Constitution. His church is
the one that held a Christmas tree
and some one hung a quart bottle
of corn whisky on it as a present
for another.

Obituary,
Tattle Lelia Smith, infant daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Smith,
died May 25, 1896, aged a little
over two years.
Death has laid his icy hand on
one we love, but we know that the
dear little one is sweetly at rest.
To the bereaved parents wo offer
such consolation as we may; weep
not for her who has gone before,
for if you are faithful to the Mas
ter there shall be a glad reunion
in a land where there is no more
parting, or sorrow, but where glad
songs of praise shall sound forever
and aye. Not cur will, but thine
be done, remembering as we must
what Christ has said of little chil
dren : “Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of
heaven.” , A Friend.
Sick-poison is a poison which
makes you sick. It comes from
the stomach. The stomach makes
it out of undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That’s the
way of it.
The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion.
If your food is all properly di
gested, there will be none left in
the stomach to make sick-poison
out of.
If your stomach is too weak to
see to this properly by itself, help
it along w’ith a few doses of Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
That’s the cure of it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a
delicious, healthful, tonic cordial,
made of pure medicinal plants,
herbs and wine.
It positively cures indigestion
and prevents the formation of
sick-poison.

A Story With a Moral.
She was a. woman whoso ago
might safely bo pronounced “un
certain,” and as she stood at the
counter figuring a half dozen pieces
of dress goods by (urn it was evi
dent that she was in the throes of
uncertainty concerning someques-
I tion of becomingness or what not.
“Is it yourself or a young lady?’
asked Roggs, the clerk, desiring to
facilitate the sale.
Tho lady’s hands dropped to her
side, and as in a moment she walk
ed away with a curt “Sorry to have
troubled you,” Roggs was left to
ruminate on the unstableness of
the feminine mind as he waited
for another customer.
Once more there was a woman of
uncertain antiquity at a dress
goods counter. It was a virtual
repetition of tho scene in tho last
chapter, except that this time tho
brisk and nattily dressed Toggs
was tho salesman.
, “Is the dres.° /or yourself a-tt_
old lady?” askod Mr. Toggs, with
innocent urbanity, and directly
tho young man might have been
seen dexterously handling the yard
measure.
Our two heroes are now middle
aged. Toggs is a partner in tho
great firm in which he once hold a
humble clerkship. He dines on
terrapin and quail on toas 1 , while
Roggs in a shiny backed coat and
shabby shoes, walks the streets,
wondering why he never Juul any
luck.—Now York Sun.

Stopping a Paper.
A story told of Horace Greeley
relates that an acquaintance of
bis got offended at one of his arti
cle in the Tribune, went to tho of
fice ami put an end to his subscrip
tion. Later in the day he met tho
editor and said : “Mr,Greely, I’ve
stopped your paper.” “Haveyou?”
queried Horace, adding: “Well,
that’s too bad,’ and the old white
hat went its way. The next
morning Grecly encountered his
former subscriber again, accosted
him with: “1 thought you stop
ped the Tribune?” “So I did. '
■‘Then there must be some mis
take,” replied Horace, “for I just
came from the office, and when I
left the presses were running as
usual, the clerks were as busy as
ever, the compositors wore hard at
work, and tho business was going
on tho same as yesterday and tho
day before. “Oh !” ejaculated tho
old subscriber, “I didn’t moan that
I had stopped tho paper. J stop
ped only my copy of it bccaus) T
didn’t like one of your editorials.”
“Pshaw!” retorted Greeley, “it
wasn’t worth taking up my time
to tell me such a trifle as that.
My dear sir, if you expect to con
trol tho utterance of the Tribune
by tho purchase of one copy a day,
or if you think to find any news
paper worth reading that will nev
er convictions at right angles with
your own, you are doomed to dis
appointment. The Tribune would
not be deserving of respect if it
1 could bo coerced by the threat of
the loss of one subscriber, or a
hundred, or ten thousand, or every
one it has, to refrain from telling
the truth as it sees it. My friend,
this is a free country, and the man
1 who does not give freedom of opin
ion does not deserve it himself.
