There is nothing quite as disgusting as the “white cap talk” against Monroe county that is filling Indianapolis and other papers. Had the Bloomington papers done like those of many other places by suppressing such news, and had the courts passed over these whippings as in other circuits, the public would be none wiser, but as both have done their full duty, the public has taken advantage of the situation and dignified family quarrels and neighborhood disputes as “white cap outrages.” The result is uncalled for criticism that the facts do not justify—Bloomington Telephone. Dr, Kennedy and wife, of Story, are expected here tomorrow, Frank Moore and Mr. Bolinger, of Moores Hill, have been visiting rel atiyes and triends here.

I THE CONFERENCE .Kcmtm* , . —. 1 »« consT .ti | ■ “i* 1 ■jiwjw'i.: : | WAS K OT CONCLUSIVE. Washington, Aug. S.—The French ambassador with his secretary came oyer to the white he, use at 3 this and has been holding a conference with the president and Secretary Day since that hour. That the meeting relates to the question of peace terms is pretty generally believed, notwithstanding the lact that the French embassy denied positively this afternoon that Spain’s answer to our note embodying the terms had been received here. The belief is that the note which Spain has sent and: which made necessary this last conference is one asking for a modification of our terms in some particular. The ambassador withdrew after conference lasting one hour and it was announced that the parties had mutually agreed to refrain from making any statement a to what had occurred. ..No further meeting has as yet been arranged, though the conference was not concl usive.
Our Answer To Spain Has Been Given to French Minister. (Scripps-McRae Cable.) Washington, D. C. July 30.— By special invitation of the President, M. Camhon, the French ambassodor, came to the White House a few minutes after 2 o'clock this afternoon. It is believed that the president delivered to M. Gambon the answer to Spain's peace proposals. On good authority the following is given as the terms given to Spain, aside from the Philippine question, which is left to future consideration 1. Absolute session to the United States of Porto Rico and all islands in the West Indies save Cuba. 2. Relingnishrnent by Spain of sovereignity in Cuba. The United States will exercise control there until a stable government can be established. 2. Acquisition of coaling station in the Ladrone islands and perhaps the Carolines. 4. No assumption of Spain’s Cubaan or Porto Eican debts by the United States 5. No war indemnity from Spain

The best county in Indiana is Brown county. It hasn't a railroad —in fact it has none of the evidences of civilization, but it has sturdy manhood. For over 80 years not a man was sent to the penitentiary from thera, and its log jail is emp ty the year round. Brown county is an oasis in the great.desert of 1 “ progress.”—Rockville Tribune. *—«—»»»—• Gregory Huber, of Belmont, *waa here on business today. How to Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours, a sediment or settling indicates an un; healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too requent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order, WHAT TO DO, There is comfort in tne knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Rooot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderfu cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggiss, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail, upon receipt of three two cent stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle. Mention the Democrat and seed your address to Dr. Kilmer & do., Binghampton, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of this offer.

A roll call of counties for nominations for condidates for congress was then ordered, and Bartholomew coming first, Wm, H. Shea, in a few appropriate re marks, placed in nomination Francis M.

Mr. Grid’ th was then called for and came forward end spoke at- some length upon the political situation. The committee, by its chairman, Oiin Bandy, of North Vernon.-reported the following re..olutions: The democracy of the fourth congressional district of Indiana in convention assembled reaffirm the principles expressed by the national convention of 1896, and also endorses the resolutions and platform adopted by the recent democratic state convention. ‘We regret that the majority in congress has continued to add to our burdens, by exacting taxation from those least able to pay and exempting those most benefited by legislation, and has given us no legislation to assist in bear ing such burdens. We demand that the present war with Spain shall be prosecuted with vigor to a successful and speedy termination, and we pledge our support to all measures to secure such results. And we congratulate our brave sol diers and gallant sailors upon tne success attending their engagements. That the democrats of the fourth congressional district reaffirm their confidence in the integrity, faithfulness, and loyalty of our distinguished reprerentative in congress the Hon. Francis Marion Griffith and we heartily approve his actions and services as our chosen representative.”

A Bloomington boy writes home I from tie Klondike at the first | follows: Soma party that had no outfiit to bring in left Seattle May 3d and bought a paper of that date, The Seattle Post Intelligence, the morning daily papers. As he came through light he made very fast time and reached Dawson May 21, He sold the paper for $50 and the parties that bought it engaged a hall and charged 50c admission to hear the war news read and they had two readings, night of May 21, and afternoon of May 22, and cleared about $250 on the transaction. — Jt A certain young traveling man who visits Bloomington, has hit up on a great scheme to economise in his expense and make a little easy money off his house. He is very popular with the young ladies in all the towns he makes and m each one has among his lady friends one that can be depended on to let it be known when he is coming. Instead of sending out forty or fifty postal cards to his customers he charges his house with that number and sends one to his lady friend, who immediately drops in at all the stores when he is known and casually imparts the information that “I have just heard from and he will be here on the 28th” or whatever the date may be. The merchant being thus notified feels it his duty to save his order for the enterprising drummer who is thrifty enough to use his best girl to announce his coming. —Bloomington Telephone. Miss Alice Wooden, of Bloomington, arrived here today to visit relatives.

An Indianapolis judge recently ruled tbgt baseball playing on Sunday is not a violation of the statutes, and immediately two of the good city ministers publicly announced their intention of not again patronizing the game.

Everybody is talking about Ringling Bros.’ famous big circus, which is to exhibit in Martinsville, Sat. Aug. 6. Several big excursions will go from this vicinity and the popularity of the show will insure an enormous crowd. Po- pie from this locality should make an special effort to arrive in time to see ihe new free street Carniyal which precedes the exhibition every morning at 10 o’clock. The leading newspapers everywhere declare the street parade to be the most magnificent display every seen in any city in the world. In this gorgeous display are shown over 100 beautiful dens and cages of wild animals 400 horses, 25 elephants and nearly a thousand people, and the costumes throughout are the finest silks, satins, velvet and cloth of gold. The performance that follows is the most magniScant arenic display ever presented by any circus in America.
Col, W. J. Bryan and his regiment are now with Gen. Lee in Florida. In the state election in Alabama yesterday the democrats won by a majority of from 55,000 to 75,000 . These are tome girls who arc not open to the charge of riding a bicycle as an excuse to wear short skirts. Lieut. Hobson is now trying to demonstrate his ability as a ship raiser—Cevera’s ships; we know what he can do in the ship-sinking line. The elder Leiter has been obliged to place mortgages on his real estate to raise money to pay off his son’s losses on wheat. $3,000,000 is said to be the amount. It must strike those who have closely followed the news that the Emperor of Germany is overdoing the business of reassuring the XI. 8. government of his good and peaceful intentions. Times must be hard in Madrid, if we may believe the Heraldo of that c:ty, which says that a Lieut, Col. in the Spanish army, who was wounded in Cuba, has to stand on the street corners and beg, to keep his wife and children from starving.

Several ship loads of miners have returned from Klondike to Seattle with a large quantity of gold in the last few days. The event is, however, almost overlooked in the excitement of war.
