A novel kind of compaign literature has just been launched which demonstrates most effectual 'y the desperate straits to which the '-grand old party' bai been reduced and the dubious means to be resorted to in attempting to arrest the wave of popular sentiment which is sweeping tho country for Bryan and free silver. The metropolitan press having been largely subsidized in favor of McKinley and gold, a desperate effort is now to be made to force the country press into lino also in a buBicess capacity. A medical company has sent out the following circular letter te the many newspapers with which they are now and have been heretofore doing business: "Gentlemen —to protect ourselves in time of panic and financial distress, which we regHrd as inevitable if tho unexpected should happen in November, we have decided to add the following condition to all contracts made for newspaper advertising. "it is also agreed that should the free silver candidate, Bryan, be elected the medical company have the privilege of canceling their contract.

From this date contracts without this clause will not be accepted."

THOMAS MCKINLEY KILLED

By The Falling Upon Him of an Em­

bankment of Earth-

News was received here Monday right that Thomas McKinley, a former citizen of Crawfoidsville, I ut lately of Terre Haute, had been killed by the falling upon him of a large embankment of earth a few hours previous.

Mr. McKinley wa* killed at Maysville, a station four miles south of Terre Haute little after 3 o'clock.He was superintending the putting in of a waterway under the track, and was standing in the ditch givicg orders to hiB men when one of the banks gave way and pinioned him to the other bank. The unfortunate man's head was caught between the falling bank and a post that had bee set to brace the other side. He screamed with pain and the men rushed to release him, although it was a very dangerous thing ,to do, as tho bank was still caving. The injured man was carried from the hole and a ooctor sent for, but before the physician arrived he died, having never regained consciousness. There was a big cut over his left eye and another on his cheek. Tho back of his head and his left Bide were crushed.

Mr. JMcIiinlcy was well known here having resided here a number of years previous to moving to Terre Haute in 1887. He was prominent in Masonic circles and was known as a 33d degree Mason. He was an ardent democrat in politics and worked for the success of the party to which he belonged at all times. Of a genial temperment he made manyfriends and the sudden taking off of Tom will be regreted by numerous acquaintances. He was burried at Terre Haute on Wednesday.

A Frankfort Democrat on the Cbendle Nomination FRANKFORT, IKD., Aug. 5, lS'JG.

EDITOR REVIEW:—It seems to me that you are not only wise, but entirely consistent as a democrat, in not giving your editorial support to Mr. Cheadle. From reports from different counties of this Congressional district, it is clearly indicated that the endorsement or nomination of a republican for Congress by tho late democratic convention at this place, is not creating a tidal wave of enthusiam in "the home that Jefferson built," Neither will it produce such result. Democrats of this district were too long maligned and villi tied by Jo. Cheadle, to so soon forget his troatment, and especially so as he has never recanted auy of his declarations. One of his favorite stock expressions was. that he spent "fo^r years of the best part of his life, in the army lighting democrats."

The fact is beginning to be roalizou that Cheadle was coached for this nomination by a syndicate composed of poiticul adventurers who have no sympathy with the^democratic party and whose sole aim is personal gain or preferment. Their organ is the "American Standard," an alleged silver publication recently started hero and over which Cheadle is supposed to have editorial control.

That ihe nomination is not satisfactory, nor will not become so to a large numberj of ^democrats, is being made manife6tjevery day and their indignation is not in the least appeased as time goeh on. It is not improbable that an open revolt againBt it will be the res-.uit. Democrats are hudgry in this district to cast their votes for 'ka real democrat for Congress once more.

CniiniiiKlCoui|any*A!*»ivnH. For years^Polk's Canned goods have been known J^to most grocerymen and thousands\of families. The Canning establishment is located at Greenwood ten miles south of Indianapolis. The hard timesjknocked it out the other day. As a result of a meeting of the principal creditors, gGrafton Johnson of Greenwood has been appointed receiver of James T. Polk, the canning king, as ho has frequently been called. The receivershipjdid not cause a Burpribe. as it was known that Mr. Polk was em barrassed.g the season having been peculiarly disastrous in a business sense. The hard times of the past few years was an immense burden, and added thereto losses sustained tbis season because of the enormous early production of vegetables, precipitated the failure. The liabilities are estimated at $80,000, of which{$65,000 are secured, and the assets will range from 850,000 to $75,000 more than the liabilities, according to the condition of the market. The business will be continued by the receiver.

The canning factory iB one of the largest and most complete of its kind in the country.

Old Bridge llown. The bridge in the fair ground on the west Bide, used for crossing the ravine fell with a crash Sunday night. A cow unfortunate enough to be UDder it at the time was killed by the timbers of the structure falling upon her. The Fair- Association had only la*t week or-j

dered a new bridge to be built where' tLe old one stood.

An important opinion, regarding the reports of township trustees, has been subnnted by -\ttornoy-General Kt-U-ham in which he say?: "The law rt quires township trustees to publish statements of their indebtednoes in detail, giving number and total of 01 (standing orders, warrants and accounts. This applies (o thr- trustees now IU office, and FHUJ repot fliould pul'iished by said trustees on the (frst Monday ih August, or as near that date as a weekly paper in calculation ii/ this county can bo had, .1 think a publication in the next issue during that \veek would lie sufficient. The statute tVys explicitly that the trustees shall cause acrpv of this report in full to be published. and that dues not moan simply a statement of receipts and expenditures of each fnnd, but that he shall publish a statement showing his indebtedness in detail, giving the number and total amount of the outstanding orders, war. rants aud accounts chargeable to such funis, which shall be sworn to."

Ilickw For AUKIIHI.

Warm weather will predominate,growing in heat until past the new moon on the 8tb, it culminates iu more storms about the 10th and 11th. A breath of cooler air from the polar regions is likely come over most parts from these reactionary movements About the 15th, a warm wave will originate in the west' IJW and falling barometer Jwill ^be observed, and during tne lGth to the 20th storms will touch all sections in their progress to the east. Great summer heat will prevail in all sections east of the actual storm areas, but this will break down as tho storms pass east, leaving more pleasant weather behind. llams fall in many places. The 25d and 23d bring reationary perturbations, causing warmer with low atmospheric pressure and sultriness. The Venus equinox iB now in force, and changes to budden cool is likely to follow great storms This will bo especially so during tho period from the 2Sth to 31st. The month promisos to end with cooles weather prevailing generally.

Funeral of the I.nte Thomnn S. .McKinley The funeral services of tho late Thomas S. McKinley, roadmaster of the E. & I., whose death occurred last Monday, were held at the family roBidence, 011 North Eigth street,yesterday afternoon. The Rev. W. W.

Compliment lo Maurice Thompson. The Atlanta Constitution pays the f01 lowing compliment to Maurice Thompson, our fellow townsman, now traveling in the south: "Tho many friends and admirers of Maurice Thompson will welcome him to Georgia, Mr. Thompson occupies a high place in the literature of America —a placo that he has fairly won and which he holds by right of genius. Ho has done some of the best work in contemporary liction, and as a poet ho takes high rank. There is nothing better in the language than his ode on Abraham Lincoln, which has the fire immortal in it and Btampa tho poet as a genius true. Tho south is proud of Maurice Thompson, Ho lives away from us, but he is still our very own.

Everything l«oen nt Terre Haute. The report that Governor Matthews has ordered the police commissioners of Terre Haute, to stop gambling and beer-selling at the fall races, under penalty of removal from office, is vigorously denied by tho commissioners, who say they have had no intimation of the kind. The Trotting Association dubs the report a fake, circulated by its rival, tho Vigo County Fair Association, to injure its meeting. The two associations had quite a row previous to the running races last spring.

Ilabeaa Corpus. -.vThe case of Jas. E. Bowers vs. Chae. E. Davis, Sheriff, in habeas corpus proceedings, was tried before Judge Harney this week. Bowers was arrested on capias ad respondendum process last week and committed to jail, for a debt owed to Chas. Vancleave. He WBS afterward released on bond and the case this week was to examine into the legality of his imprisonment. The court decided that his imprisonment WBB illegal and he was released on Tuesday.

There is an unusual amount of sick nesa reported in town for some days past.

It wii9 probably a worthy undertaking, but seems to have en attended with somo discouraging featuresMay be his HJstem was too radical, or may be they do not appreciate the offortsin his behalf.
