THE NOMINEES. i Biographical Sketch** of the Republleaa Cm adulate* for Presldeat and VicePresident- Nominated at the National > Coarentloa In St. Loala. ST. Louis, June 8a—The Gk»be Democrat publishes the following1 bio* . graphical sketches oi Maj. William | Mekinley and Hon. Garrett A. Hobart, j nominated for President and Vice- j President of the United States by the Republican national convention at St. ; Louis. The republican candidate of 1806 for the presidency was born February 26.1844. Re first saw the light at Niles, Q. He came of mixed ancestry—north of Ireland Irish on bis father*s side, but American fq| several generations on ; both sides. Like so many public men of this ; period his career began with the war. He first went to school at the age of five, and eleven years later himself became a teacher. There were no hard knocks, and nothing in his boy- i hood that might now furnish material for j romantic tales. A well-behaved, studious, af- I fectionate and tmetabie child of eminently- j respectable and wClf-so-do parents in a word j gives fine history of his life until the war be- 1 gan. , In May. 1861. he enlisted in an Ohio militia company called the Poland guards, organized ; at Poland. O., where young McKinley waa teaching school. This cotnpan* became part of the Twe^ty-tbird Ohio infantry, and in that McKinley ■served until mustered out at the : close of the war. He rose from private, j through all the non-commissioned grades, to captain and brevet major. He was made seeond lieutenant for good conduct at Antietam. ! During his military career he served on the i stiffs of both Gen. it, B. Hayes and George , Crook. The war ended, he began the study of law at j Warren, Q,, and in 1867 was admitted to the bar and took up his residence at Canton. In he was elected district attorney of Stark j county. O., and served two years; during that j period he married Miss Ida Saxton, and for j the next few years devoted himself to his pro- j tension. Mr. McKinley began to forge to the front as I an earnest student of political affairs in 1873 1 ami 1876. The acquaintance te made in the j army with Rutherford B. Hayes was of great | benefit to him just then. Hayes thought much of him. and through his influence, and that ol his friends, McKinley, in 1876. secured tha nomination for congress in a strong republican , district. He entered the Forty-flfth congress, and though the house was democratic he made his mark with the minority. When the republicans came into power. In the Forty-sixth congress. he was already wall equipped for leadership. He was elected continuously to the Forty-sixth. Forty-seventh. Forty-eighth. For-ty-nifcth, Fiftieth and Fifty-first congresses, though in the Forty-eighth his opponent contested and was seated at the close of the session. During his earlier terms he served on the I committee on revision of the laws, the judiciary committee, and the committee on expenditures. in the post office department. When Gen. Garfield, received the nomination for the presidency, having already been elected senator, McKinley succeeded him on the committee of ways sad means. In the Fifty-first congress he became chairman of that committee, and as such leaderof the house, of which Mr. Thomas B. Reed became soeaker. McKinley was himself a candidate for speaker, and if he had then suceee i he might not now be the republican candidate for president it was tbs mission of. the Fifty-first congress to devise a '.new tariff bill, and. as that was the work of the committee ol ways and means, it became known as the McKinley bill. That, bill passed the house May 21, I860. It passed the senate September S>. and President llarrison approved It October I. A month later the elections foi the Fifty-third congress took place, and Mr. McKinley was defeated, along with scores oi other republican members. The next year the republicans nominated him for governor ol Ohio,; and he was elected by 21.000 majority over ex-(*ov. Campbell.the most popular democrat in the state. Last year he declined a renomination for governor, and since then has devoted his time to the adjustment of his private affairs, which had become somewhat i Involved Mr. McKinley lives in Canton. O., in a commodious. but unpretentious house, to which he took his bride when they were married. H* has no ohildren—two daughters were born tc them, but both die^ in infancy. Mrs. McKinley has been aa invalid for several years, and her husband s devotion to her is one of the torching features of his beautiful domestic life.

His early life was spent in Monmouth county within sight of the historic revolutionary battlefield of Monmouth, anil hts early education was obtained in the common schools of Newark and Paterson neighborhood. Later, at the age of IT he entered Rutger's college. New Brunswick, and spent four years there, graduating with high honors when 21 yean old. He went to Paterson and coaupeneed the Study of law in the office of Socrates Tuttle | destined to become his father-in-law later in i life. After spending three years in the law oft Bee he was admitted to the practice of law in the state of New Jersey, and worked up a large and remunerative practice, being counsel of ! the city and county governments. He was early .identified with polities, but sought no political office until 18T3. when h« I was eleeied a member of the state legislature The next rear. 1874. he was re-elected and was j made speaker the assembly by a unanimous vote of his colleagues. In 187& he was elected state senalfor from the Paterson district, and turce years.aftor was given the place as presiIdeu* of tty*!.upper body of the assembly. A number of times he was solicited to accept the nomination for congressman from his home district, but would not accept In he was the republican nominee for Vailed States seni ator. but the assembly being overwhelmingly • dem<icratie ,he failed to secure the coveteJ scat, the honor failing to John R.

In acknowledgment for this fair treatment ting the men passed resolutions thanking him for the interest la en in their behalf. Mr. Hopart has been in public life In New Jer sey ever Since he was 23 years of age. but his moat recent triumph, and one ta which be prides himself most, is his participation in the •tale campaign tn New Jersey, which resulted in the selection of John W.

SPAIN ANGRY. TIm Caban Fla* at the IrpaMlru Cor mttoo Ik* Caua Madrid. June 11.—A tery bad impression has been made here by the cablegrams received from the United States announcing that the Cuban flag eras displayed at the Republican national convention in St. Louis.

ODDITIES. In Iondon there are 40 restaurants in which only vegetab le food is served. At Greenwood Garden, Peak’s Island, Me., there is a huge rattlesnake which has just completed an unbroken fast that lasted for a full year. A 17-year-old boy in Lisbon, Me, named W illiam Blackford, has already ; attained a height of 6 feet S% inches, and is still growing. The fact that White Sulphur Springs, Mont., is a splendid antidote for the tobacco habit, is attracting the attention of slaves of the weed. The gi eat-grandfather, grandfather | and father and son, all working together digging a cellar, was a rather unusual family gathering in East port, Me., recently.

A monstrosity in the shape of a calf that had the head, tail and skin of a dog and the feet and teeth of its own kind has been stuffed and is now on exhibition in Invercargill, Australia. A malicious man in Newkirk, 0„ poured kerosene on the tail of a neighbor’s cat and set fire to it, thinking that the animal would rush madly to its home and cause a conflagration in the house of the disliked neighbor. With a cat’s usual perversity, it dashed into the barn of the malicious man, and the barn was destroyed. EATERS WITH A RECORD. A Connecticut school boy ate 16 mince pies on a wager. Auius Verus, a Roman noble, gave a supper one night to a dozen of hts cronies that made a hole of $250,000 in his bank account, Viteliius, the Roman emperor, once gave a dinner that cost over $200,000. Seutonious states that the guest had the choice of 2,000 dishes of fish and 7,000 of game and fowl. Mr. Thomas Frazier, of Yonkers, once ; gave a dinner at the Hoffman house, ! New York, to 13 guests, the bill for ! which was $1,000, or at the rite of $77 , per cover. Wines worth $20 a bottle | were served on this occasion. Caligula, the emperor, whose wickedness shocked the most brutal of his associates, built a bridge of boats three miles long, in the center of which he caused a banquet hall to be constructed. In this was served a feast that was | said to have cost $500,000. Grimod de la Reyniere, who came of a banking family, was deprived in childhood of both hands, but that did not prevent him becoming an epicure and j gourmet. At the age of 20 he was caught by his own father sitting down to seven roasted turkeys. His greatgrandfather had died at the table in a fit of laughter. '' FOREIGN PERSONALS.

’ Stanley is xegarded as a dismal parliamentary failure. Bismarck is failing rapidly, though his mental faculties are unimpaired. The late John Stetson recently remarked: “There are more men* who are fools in Beston than there are men.” Prince Eugene, the youngest son of King Qscar II. of Sweden and Norway, is traveling under the name of Count Kosendal. Taine’s only daughter has married M. Dubois, son of the late director of the Beaux Arts. Though brought up as a Protestant, Mile. Taine was married in a Roman Catholic church. Kaiser Wilhelm stopped at Frankfort for a few hours for the celebration of the anniversary pf the treaty Of peace, and within three days there were 40 arrests for lese majesty in the town. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. The romance of the east is to receive a shock in the new iron bridge over the Tigris at Bagdad. A pair of “crocodile shears” was recently set up in Pittsburgh that can cut plates of any size It, inches thick, or a bar four inches square. A great German company has been formed with a capital of $3,000,000, to establish iron works and a railway engine factory in Southern Russia. It has been found impossible to build a lighthouse on Diamond Shoal, off Hatteras, but- the government will put in a lightship at once, and she will be the fitiongcst ever made. 4 , THE MARKETS.

ABUT HARDSHIPS. No One Bat a Veteran Can Realise the Sufferings from Army Life. Hi Often Make* Our Able-Bodied Men Helpless Invalids— The Story of One Who Suffered for Twenty Years, Dae to Hardshi ps When In the Service of His Coon try.

From the Farmcrt? Volte, Chicago, ItL Edson A. Wood, who now lives at 990 Washington Boulevard, Chicago, I1L, was born on % farm in Wyoming County, N. Y., fiOyears£go. As a young man he suffered two sun strokes in the fields. When the war broke out, he Joined the 57th Illinois Volunteers, with which he served two years when sickness forced his discharge. The effects ot the sun strokes and his army life undermined his health and he soon found his brain, heart and kidneys were affected. For eight years he was with the West Chicago Street Car Company, but was forced to seek lighter work, as the exposure increased his bronchial and asthmatic troubles. He then engaged with the Pan Handle Railroad Company. For six yearh he served them in different capacities. His constitution gradually but surely breaking down, strange dirty spells becoming more frequent, he finally sought relief in Hr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said to a reporter: “It was some time about a year ago when I was very poorly, that my head was giving me a great deal of trouble, dizzy spells, aches and queer feelings, and then 1 also had a strange feeling of Uncertainty in the use of my lower limbs when walking. , “Physicians examined my condition closely and were of the opinion that il had all the first symptoms of locomotor sitaxia, and I believe they were right, also last summer I had a very hard time with an attack of ton-i silitis ana neuralgia from which I did not ] recover for some time. It was then that 11 commenced to take these Pink Pills, and ! had only taken a few boxes when I discov- I ered a remarkable change for the better in j every way. The pills seemed to-relieve me . of aches and pains, the symptoms of locomotor ataxia have left me entirely, and they have made me stroug and feel like myself. “1 am going to continue with the use of the pills for the reason that having relieved me of the ailments 1 thought had come to stay, having been caused thirty years ago from hardships in the army, I ana practically rid of them and will lose no efforts when 1 have the remedy at hand to keep them rid. I am only too glad to tell ail my friends what experience I have had with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and when they see the good physical condition I am in now, although near sixty years of age, thevwill oome to the same conclusion as myself. “The above is a correct statement of facts concerning myself. Subscribed and sworn to before me this VSnd day of January, 1896. Robert Axslxt, Notary Jhthtic. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for 12.50 by addressing Dr. Williams’ Med. Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

Wonderland. *00. Every year wo hare brought to our abI Mention by the enterprising management of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. that this system is the one that takes the trav- j •ler to the Yellowstone park. ' It is well we are remindedof this, for in ; our eager pursuit of wealth and pleasure j l we lose sight of this wonderful region, and ' of which we have such a limited knowledge!, j Great wisdom was shown by the govern-1 ] meat in securing this park lor all time to I come for future generations, and the.time j will come when not to have visited this ! famed region before going abroad will be a i reproach. j Only think of a lake at 8,000 feet eleval lion, and miles across, skirted with mounI tains, with a steamer to take the sight” | seeker around. j The Yellowstone park is rightly named | “The Wonderland,” and it must be seen to j form any adequate idea of its beauty and j grandeur.

| Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the mirny physical ills, which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is toe only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who valne good health. Its beneficial effects are flue to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal Cleanliness without debilitating the j organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when yon par- j chase, that yon have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system 'is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the moet^akillfBl physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely

If Remote from Medical Help, Doubly essential is it that you should be provided with some reliable family medicine. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the best of its class, remedying' thoroughly as it does such common ailments as indigestion, constipation and biliousness, and affording safe and speedy help in malarial cases, rheumatism and inactivity of the kidneys.

Sometimes quality is sacrificed in the L effort to give big quantity for little money. ^ No doubt about that. % < But once in a while it isn't. For instance, there's “ BATTLE AX” * The piece is bigger than you ever saw w before for 5 cents. And the quality is, as ( many a man has said, “ mighty good.” Tnere's no guess work in this statement. It is just a plain fact. P You can prove it by investing 5 cents < in « BATTLE AX.”
