The New York World after a long and strenuous scout in the dark has run to earth oncte more the gr.at “silver conspiracy "of 1896. The Cuuspira-| tors now as then are financing the Bryan campaign. In proof of this the World points out that in 1896 the conspiring silver mine owners of the west contributed about $290,000 to the democratic campaign fund. That is

ramming the awful truth down the public throat in bales. What the mine owners contributed in the first Bryan campaign, admitting the World's allegation to be true, was not 5 per cent of what eastern financiers, insurance magnates, trust mongers, high tariff barons and other elements of what Tom Lawson has denominated “the system” poured into the republican slush fund at the behest of Mark Hanna. A conspiracy that can slit its belt no wider and deeper than the silver cabal did, if it did. is not greatly to be feared.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. The soup house is gaining in numbers every dav. Every city where there are a large number of factory hands is confronted with the problem ; of feeding the hungry, destitute! workman who is overcome with the wave of prosperity that is sweeping over the country so that he finds it a ' hard struggle to provide the neees- 1 saries of life. The republican spellbinder of the next campaign who un- • dertakes to explain away the panic will have a truly republican elephan-

tine task on his hands and the man who can successfully do so will be entitled to a place la the main tent.— Columbia City Post. Col. Henry Watterson declares that Bryan is the strongest man in the country for the democratic party. In his talks with fellow democrats, Mr. Watterson warmly approved Brvan as the presidential nominee of his party Some time ago.” he explained, “I attempted to work up a sentiment against him. but failed. Today he is the undoubted choice of the ni’jority of democrats, and the strongest man in the coumry, and it would be wrong aot to nominate him.” URGENT REQUEST Made by Postmaster Frisinger Concerning Rural Route Patrons

USE POSTAGE STAMPS Or Place Cup in Mail Box in Which to Place the Money Postmaster M. A. Frisinger desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rurtal delivery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire tp dispatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. , This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes The postmaster, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing supplies of stamps.

E. France and C. O. France met and played their regular scheduled game, the latter winning by a score of 100 to 53, These two men were both scratch and the contest had been looked forward to by the fans as being a red hot one. and in this they were not mistaken, as the game was close and exciting throughout. F. E. France led in the contest practically up to the last fifteen billiards, when O. France, by a neat run of sixteen, put the game on uis side of the ledger which virtually made him champion, which title he will be forced to defend soon. France has won seven out of eight games and has yet to meet but Allison, whom he handicaps ten billiards, and should he lose this game it would not materially effect his standing in the race. Mangold and Studabaker then entertained the fans by playing their game, the latter winning the contest by a score of 100 to 95 and thus tying Peterson and France for second place. The game was interesting throughout and the men were roundly applauded for their many brilliant shots. The* remainder of the games, which are two, will be played off this evening.

In an article recently published, Richard Mansfieid has the following to say of plays and players: “The real work of the stage lies in the creation of a character. A great character will live forever, when paint and canvass, and silks and satins, and gold foil and tinsel shall have gone the way of all rags.”
