Office in Democrat Building, east sideof Sec ond Street—ground floor A Western man for 1896, CLAUDE MATTHEWS. Melons Are Ripe. At least that is the way some of the boys near William Singleton’s, of Union township, thought last Sunday night, when they visited his patch for the purpose of stealing his melons, but he was on the lookout for such people and was stationed near the patch—so near that he saw the boys and listened to their plans. After they had plans duly arranged] he asked them what they wanted to run for, then they lit out at a rate that would make a Corhancbe Indian turn an emerald hue with envy. Mr. Singleton is well acquainted with the boys, and if his melon patch is disturbed again the - youngsters may have a hard time to make him and the court believe that it was not the same crowd of boys that were in his patch Sunday evening. John B. Weber shipped a car load of fine horses yesterday. White Oak has a new postmaster. The name of the new P. M. is Wm.

Sira IK Collection of Matters of Interest to the General Reader. LARGE SHIPMENT OF GOLD. Bond Syndicate Deposits 53,000.000 More, Making 88,000,000 In All Which They Have Paid In — Chinese Make Their Usual Objections About Foreigners. The Jackson’s Hole Trouble. Washington, Aug. 21.—the gold syndicate has again prevented the gold reserve from falling below the SIOO,OOO mark. Yesterday afternoon the treasury department was informed that $2,.850,000 in gold had beer} withdrawn from the subtreasury in New York, which would have reduced the reserve to $99,677,148. A few minutes later, however, Acting Secretary Curtis received a telegram saying that Mr. Pierpont Morgan had deposited $2,000,000 in gold in exchange for greenbacks. This deposit swelled the reserve to $101,677,148. v , , . The officials at the department displayed no apprehension as to the gold reserve, aud intimate that the syndicate will continue to make deposits to offset withdrawals. The syndicate has so far voluntarily deposited about $8,000,000 in gold. THEIR USUAE COURSE. China Has Always Objected to Foreigners Being Present at Investigations. Washington, Aug. 21.—The state department was informed yesterday that there was some disposition on the part ; of the Chinese officials not to allow the i American and British officers to be present at the investigation of the Ku 1 Cheng riots. It is stated at the depart- , ment that the usual hitch has occurred in which the Chinese officials have refused to allow any interference with their- forms of procedure. In every case where there has been an investigation of. the kind proposed the same objections have been made, the officials feeling that they will lose prestige with their people if they allow for- i eigbers to participate in their courts. ! These objections have always ended in i the submission of the Chinese after I some delay. Attention of China has been called to ! the fact that when the United States j government was investigating the i Chinese riots in this country officials of I the Chinese government were asked to be present to obtain all the particulars. Condition of Crops. Washington, Aug. 21.—The weather tmreau, in its report of crop conditions, says: In the principal corn states the. early planted corn has matured rapidly, and some has been cut in Missouri.
