A CoxjfECTiccr woman recently sold her 3-year-old daughter for S5, because she was too poor to keep her. Hos. Chukch Howe of Auburn, Neb., has been nominated by the president as consul-general to Apia, in the Samoan islands. When the conditions arrive in which all men are employed at reasonable pay, or can be if they wish, observes the Winside Tribune, the money question will be settled to the satisfaction of all industrious people. That condition is gradually approaching. Last Tuesday evening smoke was dis covered in the treasurer's office and in the senate chamlier of the capitol build ing at Lincoln. It was thought that some joist or timber toward the roof had caught fire and was burning slowly. A close watch was kept, but nothing fur ther came of it. Horace Boies, ex-governor of Iowa, is one of the undoubted leaders of the democratic party. He is a very fairly good kind of a man, too, and has had the confidence of a host of people of his general way of thinking. He was one of the men permanently mentioned for president in the nominating campaigns last year. The ex-governor is said to have been at one time the favorite can didate of Mr. Bryan himself. In view of all these things, what Mr. Boies has to say of the present situation ought to be interesting reading to at least some of his political associates. We give it with pleasure, because it contains mat modest, cool candor that is so agreeable in a political opponent : "For one, I do not believe it possible to succeed upon a platform that de mands the unqualified free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with goldv We have fought that oatue anu ii iui We can never fight it over under cir cumstances more favorable to ourselves. Tf n hone to succeed, we must abandon this extreme demand." It will be well enough for some of our very radical, unqualified 10 to 1 silver people to think over Uncle Horace's words of wisdom, and begin to get ready to "abandon their extreme demand."

Senator Alllton Gives Xotlre He Will Ask For Continuous Seuiuus Unless Opposi tion to t be Tariff Bill Disappear Sen ate Disposes of Two Amendments. Washington w. Washington, July f.. The fact that the state department is preparing for transmission to congress the correspon dence that it has had since the begin ning of the session respecting the Ber ing sea seal fisheries, appears to have been construed in some quarters, ami by the London Chiouicle. as an indica tion of a purpose on the part of our gov ernment to make a radical change in its policy in the treatment of that long standing diplomatic i.ue and ro seize on this opportunity to announce its adoption of a "bold American policy. The truth is that this particular corres pondence was called for by congress weeks ago and has been delayed in transmission principally because Mr. Foster, who conducted personally the greater part of it. in con junction with Mr. Hamlin, was ataent in Europe. Now, however, it is in shape and probablv will go to cougtess this week. It can be stated that it will not show any change in the policy of this govern ment, which has, ever since the first under the fans Henry D. Stone, formerly president of the Chicago, Burlington ana tuincy railroad and president of the Chicago Telephone company, was instantly killed at Nonquitt yesterday morning by an explosion of fireworks. Mr. Stone with his family and other residents of Nonquitt was celebrating the holiday with a handsome display of day fireworks. Among them was a minp. which was so devised as to scat ter paper animals of various colors. Mr. CMnn liml nnnliert the torch to this piece, but for tome reason it did not ap pear as if the spark was going to reach the mine. Mr. Stone advanced and took the pieco up in his hands, when it exploded, striking him fully in the face. His features were badly mutilated and he sustained a compound fracture of the skull. His friends who were pres ent cannot tell just how the accident occurred. A physician was immediately called, but could do nothing, Mr. btone having been instantly killed by the fhock. Mr. Stone was a regular summer vis itor with his family, owning a cottage nt Nonquitt. He leaves a widow and four children. His remains will be sent to Chicago for iiitermeut. Three Hundred ami Flfty-Flirc Delegate In Attendance-Strong Feeling Against Fusion-Ready to Decapitate Butler Un less He Keeps Iu the Middle-of-the-Road Convention Notes. Sumter, S. C, July 6. The first meeting of the campaign for the Demo cratic nomination for United States sen ator to fill the place now occupied by John L. McLaurin by appointment from Governor Ellerbee, was held here Mon day and proved sensational in the ex treme. It was held in the opera house. Countv Chairman Purdy introduced Senator McLaurin as the first speaker. The senator's address was conservative. He paid tribute to the memory of Sen atnr TTnrlp and crave an account of his own political stewardship. Mr. Mc Laurin was warmly received and sat down with the assurance that he had made a good impression. Then the storm broke. Ex-Senator John L. M. Irby was in troduced and for three-quarters of an hour there was enacted as exciting scenes as perhaps have ever been wit nessed at a campaign meeting in this or any other state. Irby characterized McLaurin as a ring streaked, striped and speckled poli tician. He charged him with dishon esty and with being guilty of treason and treachery. He samtne iouiess wuu- Tubee persons killed and about thirty were'injured last Wednesday in a rear nd collision on the Chicago At North western road thirty miles out of Chicago, on the Galena division. The colliding trains were sections Nos. 4. and 5 of a Christian Eudeavor special, sent out in nine sections, beginning at 10:30 p. m. Section No. f ran into section No. 4. Section No. 4 carried Wisconsin dele gates. Section No. 4 had come to a Btop iust out or West Chicago. Section ;' came up behind at great speed and the collision was terrific Passengers in the two rear sleepers of Section No. 4 were all in their berths. Those not killed outright awoke to find themselves inmmofl iii the wreckace. At 2 o'clock Wednesday morning a train on the Van dalia road, containing a large nnmberof Christian Endeavorers. collided with an east-bound train near Vandalia, killing two and fatally injuring two. Something ought to be done against hazing in this country. There is no justification or excuse for the brutal and cowardly practice. Kecentiy a stu dent in Lafayette college, Easton, Pa., who disapproved of hazing was seized by a crowd of hoodlum students, knock ed dowu. jumped upon, and then taken to a barber shop, where they shaved off his whiskers and nearly severed one of bis fingers. He complaiued to tho fac ulty, whereujion he was expelled from the college band, the literary society, the athletic club aud dining club. He is at home in New York and the faculty confesses that, it is unable to control the hazing element and has written the wronged student advising him not to return. An institution whose faculty has no better conception of education, or no more pluck in enforcing order ought to be closed out as nuisance, a thiag more dangerous to life than a rotten bridge or a leaky ship. Let the community in which-it assumes to con duct its business disown it war's cxneneticu award regulations, showed the inefti cacy of these regulations to protect the seals, lost no opportunity to urge an ex tensions of the rules upon Great Bri tain. There have been some remonstrances exchanged; for instance, the British have protested against what they termed the abuse of the right of search on the part of our patrol vessels, and on our part the British have beeu told tliat thpir refusal to permit the sealiugup of firearms carried by sealers amounted to an evasion of the spirit oi tno ran- award. But in all this there has been no exhibition of ill feeling or anything like "jingoism" on our part, and while the recent success of Mr. Foster in se curing the adhesion of Russia to the extension ol tne regulations uci wc entire North Pacific ocean beyond the 40th degree has strengthened our posi tion in the British negotiations, it can not be said that there has been any change in the line of policy that was laid down by Secretary Olney in his last administration. Chicago. July C A special from Washington cays: President .ucruniey has sent a dispatch to the Marquis of Salisbury, the British premier and sec retary of state for foreign affairs, which will probably cause the nobleman as much perturbation as did Secretary ninev's disnatch of July, 1S95, in which England was diplomatically, but firmly, told that she must arbitrate the Vene zuela boundary dispute. The present dispatch will doubtless be regarded iu England as offensive in tone anu man ner and its publication will probably cause a display of feeling across the water, but in the United States Mr. Mc Kinley's course will be warmly ap proved. The latest diplomatic fencing between the two countries arises out of the long standing fur seal controversy, but Euglaud, it is asserted, has not lived up to its agreement and intimation to that effect is now conveyed to the Brit ish government by order ot President McKiuley. Four lViipli' Drowned. Little Rock. Ark., July . A terri ble accident occurred on the river last night which resulted iu the drowning of four people. The drowned are: Miss Josie Sanders, aged IS, aud Miss Mary Arber, aged 10, both of Little Rock, and Jake and Joseph Dante, brothers, of Pine Bluff. They were in a skiff ou the river where they had gone to view the fireworks being set off from the center of the new bridge. When the pyro technic display was over the pleasure steamer U. K. Briggs started ou her ex- . ? 1 r - j-kn ll k cursion ur tne river anu rau unu mo sniracv that ever existed in this state was now in force and McLaurin was its beneficiary. Finally McLaurin, who had turned pale, jumped up and faced him, saying: "Irby, let's have an understanding right here. We have known each other some time. You can't accuse me of dishonesty. You can't insult me in that way." The two men faced each other. Irby 1 . .a 1 . .. .1 n 1 J-ll replied that lie nau saui it aim auueu. "I say further that if you hit me, you'll be hit back." At this juncture Editor Appell rushed nn tr, MnTjiurin and told him he would have a reulv. Charles Emanuel rushed in and said to Irby: "No one but a coward would talk that way." Irby re plied that no one but a coward would insult a cue.-t. Mr. Purdy and others got the men quieted, the house being in an uproar. When Irby finished Mc Laurin denounced the charged that he was in a combination as absolutely false. Irby retorted that he would prove ir. No other eoithets were applied though Irby said that other charges would bo filed and the fast and furious meeting ended, having lasted only one hour and twenty minutes.

The statement of the Washington correspondent oi j.ner Daily Chronicle to the effect that corre spondence is about to be submitted to congress regarding Bering sea matters which will cause resentment in Great Britain, charging bad faith in the car rying out of the terms of the award, etc., are discredited here in diplomatic mioe Prftvious to the jubilee cele bration United States Ambassador Hay gave the Marquis of Salisbury a strong presentation of the case from the stand point of the United States, but, if is added, throughout the entire corre spondence there was nothing to offend Great Britaiu and there has been no correspondence iice Hie jubilee. It is understood that the Canadian premier. Sir Wilfred Laurier, has con ferred with the Bntisn government oh the seal jjnestiou. The interests of Canada are opposed to restrictions being placed on sealing, and as Great Britain is now cultivating the good will of her colonies, this policy may render it more difficult for the United States to secure an agreement on the subject. s& the river.

Kilborn de parted this life on Saturday night, June 2fth, aged (59 years and 5 months. Thus another of the early settlers has passed away, another home been broken up, a faithful wife and loving mother, after a long life of toil and trouble, gone to her rowan!. Funeral services were held at the residence on Tuesday, Rev. J. B. Leedom of Pilger conducting the same, and from thence the body was conveyed to Rose Hill cemetery at Albion and there interred in the sacred mound where lie the remains of the deceased woman's son Clint. Tho large funeral procession which journeyed the distance from Boone to Albion testified of the high estimation in which Mrs. Kilborn was held by her neighbors and friends. The Blade hastens to extend heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing relatives of the late Mrs. N. C. Kilborn, particularly the disconsolate husband. The Blade editor had known this excellent woman for twenty years and always as one uu selfishly devoted to the welfare of her family. Her home was her world, and she sought no happiness beyond its bounds. Over there, in that land where the true life is revealed and all human ity must stand by the record made here, Lucy Kilborn will surely take a high place among God's chosen ones.

To AM Sufferers: I writ this for the benefit similar sufferers may derive from it, unsolicited and out of pure sympathy to those poor mortals who may lie afflicted with that dread disease cancer. Ip September of 1S87 the dineiise known by the medical fraternity a InpuserethemuBtoeus first made its ap pearance on my face anil soon spread across the nose and over n greater part of the face, causing unsightly mires.

At this Stage I tvna rflrommanded to try Dr. Lieber of Omaha; after ap examination ho said he could cure me. As a drowning person grasping at a straw I entered his private hospital, and in a short space of time I was able to leave the hospital a well woman. My face is now clear and shows ui i;ti Biin nf the dread disease. While in the hospital there were also removed from ray body seven cancer, and "that without the use of the knite. The medical fraternity scoff at the idea of cancers being removed without the knife. But I am a living proof that it can be and is done by Dr. Lieber. To all those poor mortals who have gtven up the battle against this dread disease, I say don't despair, but consult with the doctor. I make this statement out of pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and will be glad to see or answer any in quiries in regard to my case. MBS. F. E. ROWE, 2580 N. 19th Street, Omaha, Nebraska.
