Price 82.00 per annum, postage paid, two papers per week If law alone can make a dollar why should any workingman be compelled to labor for it? We have plenty of law, and it ia as easy to stamp a coin "ten dollars" as it is to stamp it "one dollar." There can be no doubt that Mr. Bryan is running a "campaign of education" this year. He is learning much faster than he ever did before in his whole lifetime and will know it all on the night of Nov. 3rd.

Chicago has eclipsed all records in registration. The total of 377,000, exclusive of Cicero, is greater by 46,000 than that of New York. The vote of Chicago will be in the neighborhood of 380,000. Only thirteen states of the union cast a larger vote than this in 1892. It is almost twice as large as the combined vote of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and "Wyoming.

It is as large as the combined votes of Tennessee and South Carolina, of Florida and Georgia, of Louisiana and Mississippi, of California and Oregon. In one ward the registration was greater than the total vote of Idaho in 1S92; in three wards the registration was larger than the vote of Wyoming, and fourteen wards easily eclipsed the vote of Nevada, the home of free silver. Times-Star dispatches say that the eyes of Europe are now concentrated on the United States little cruiser Bancroft, waiting to see whether she will attempt to pass the Dardanelles without the permission of the To do so the vessel would have to run the guantlet of a double line of forts for a distance of forty miles. There are among these formidable armaments sixty-seven Krupp guns on one side of the narrow channel and forty-eight on the other, and it is estimated that the shot fired at the Bancroft would, if make a cannon ball nearly as large as the cruiser. force a passenger under such condi tions would seem to be the height madness, but the captain declare that if ordered to do so he will make the attempt.

"DOC" TANNEE, The Celebrated Faster, Burned to Baked, AKRON, Oct. lives were lost in the fire which destroyed the Whitmore-Robinson China works late Tuesday night, in addition to $200,000 damage to property. Au unknown man was literally baked in an almost redhot empty kiln. The second victim is now known to be Dr. Tanner, whose right name was Francis Harrison, whose name was made famous by a long fast in which he once indulged.

The body has not yet been found, but is supposed to lie under a great heap of fallen bricks and stone. The ruins are still so hot that the workmen are unable to make much headway in clearing them away, and the dead body is probably nothing bub a charred and shapeless mass. Farmer Brown's Dilemma. had a public meetin in the achoolhouso here last week, And feller from tbo city wns invited down to speak. He'd studied up the subject of flnanoe in every light And claimed that ho was competent to show ua what was right.

He aaya this whole blamed country is a-goin straight to amnsh Unless we get free coinage and increase our stock of cash. He's flggerod out a daisy scheme and claims 'twill work immense. He wants to make our dollars cost ua only fifty cents. He'd take "four bits" of silver and would run it through the mint And stamp it plain "one dollar" with the government's imprinc. The mines would damp their silver, and the nation, slick as grease, Would grind out brand new dollars at ust Of ty cents apiece.

That sounds all right, but since that night somehow I've often wondered When I buy dollars for fifty cents who'll take 'em for a hundred, i Times-Herald. Another beautiful wedding, in which tvro of Xeiiia's most popular young people plighted their troth, occurred last evening, when Mr. Biley Jobe, of the firm of Jobe Bros and Miss Bertha Louise, only daughter of Mrs. Sarah D. Nesbitt, were united in marriage.

The wedding occurred in the First Methodist Episcopal church, and was the first to be solemnized there since that ed- ifice has been so handsomely remodeled. At half past seven o'clock the soft strains of the ever beautiful wedding march from Lohengrin floated through the church, Mrs. Clarence Whitmer presiding at the organ. The officiating ministers, Dr. Charles Drees and Rev, MoCabe, entered from the rear of the pulpit, as the bridal party entered the church.

First-came the ushers, Messrs. Frank Moore, Charles Nesbitt, Homer Jobe, of this city, and Kalph Pidgeou, of Jamestown, and they were followed by the bridesmaids, Miss Helen Mowrer, of this city, Miss Florence Keith, Springfield, Missouri, Miss Mary Greenleaf, of Richmond, and Miss Jessie Ballard, of Jamestown, all looking very handsome in their dainty gowns of white, over pink silk, and each carrying large clusters of pink roses. The maid of honor, Miss Blanche Swahlen, of Greencasble, followed and she wore a lovely dress of pink silk gauze and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The fair young bride, clad in her wedding gown of heavy white brocade, her long tulle veil being fastened with white roses, and carrying a large cluster of these same fragrant blossoms, entered with her uncle, Mr. F.

Drees, and at the altar was met by the groom arid Mr. Will Carr, who acted in the capacity of best man. The solemn words of bhe Methodist Episcopal ring service were read by Dr. Charles Drees, uncle of the bride, who is here from South America on a visit, and the young people repeated the impressive words clearly and distinctly, and Eev. McCabe followed with a fervent prayer as they knelt at the chancel railing.

Then as the gladsome notes of the Mendelssohn march rang out from the organ the bridal party left the church, and with about seventy-five invited-guests repaired to the bride's home, where the wedding reception was eight until ten o'clock. After congratulations a dainty supper was served. The bridal party were seated at a large table which was handsomely decorated with pink roses and waxen candles, a long mirror down the center reflecting the beautiful scene. As is usual on such happy occasions, the bride and groom received a goodly shower of rice when they started for the station, to which they were accompanied by a large num- aer of their young friends, who gave them a good send oft', fully apprising their fellow passengers that a bridal jarty was on board the train. They did not state their destination nor where they will spend their honeymoon but will take a wedding journey through the East about the first of the year, The presents received were both numerous and beautiful, and among he number none will be more highly prized than the exquisite clock presented by the employes of the store, and the handsome silver baking dish from the ladies comprising the cooking club, of which the bride has long been a member.

The bridesmaids were each remembered by a handsome empire fan, the gift of Mrs. Jobe, while the groom presented his best man and the ushers with handsome sterling silver match boxes. On their return home Mr. and Mrs. Jobe will reside for the present with Mrs.

Jtfesbitt and will be at home to their large circle of friends and well wishers on Tuesdays in November. CIRCUIT OOUET DECISIONS, An Even Dozen in Which Judge Smith Was Sustained in All, Decisions in Circuit Court October term 1896. W. 11. Baker vs.

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 Fig's, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so hig-hly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is tiie one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating' the organs on which it acts.

It is therefore all important, in order to get its ficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable drug-gists. 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 most skillful 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 used and gives most general satisfaction.
