Williams, Chairman. Democratic County Convention. The free silver Democrats of Wood county met in county convention Thursday afternoon too late for our press hour. Nearly all the towns were represented. The convention was called to order by James K.

P. Ililes, of the town of Wood, and Adam Panins, of Marshfield, was elected secretary. A committee of five on credentials was appointed consisting of L. M. Nash, Win.

Hirth, L. Colvin, C. O. Baker and F. Leuschen.

A committee on resolutions was also appointed consisting of A. E. Germer, J. A. Gay nor and E.

P. Scheibe. The committee on credentials submitted their report, which was adopted and the com mi tee on resolutions submitted the following resolution, which was discussed thoroughly by Messrs. B. R.

Goggins, L. M. Nash, A. E. Germer, C.

6. Baker, Henry Fitsch and J. A. Gaynor. Be it Resolved, That we, the democrats of Wood county, in convention assembled, hereby declare our approval and endorsement of the platform and principles adopted by our late national convention at Chicago, and we hereby pledge our support to Bryan and Sewall, the nominees of that convention.

And the delegates this day by us elected are hereby instructed to support no man for nomination at the coming state or congressional convention who is not in harmony with the principles set forth in our national platform. Mr. Goggins questioned the propriety of passing so strong a resolution fur the success of the party in county and state. L. M.

Nash was in favor of striking out the second paragraph but was in favor of the first paragraph in the resolution. All the other speakers favored the adoption of the resolution as it was offered. At the close of the discussion the resolution was adopted by almost a unanimous vote. A committee of seven was appointed to submit a list of names for delegates to the state and congressional conventions and reported as follows: Delegates to the state convention E. P.

Scheibe, of Marshfield; F. Leuschen, of Hewitt; J. Lutz, of Grand Rapids; D. D. Conway, of Centralia, and C.

A. Ludwig, of Pittsville. Delegates to the congressional Kalscfied and E. V. Kautsky, of Marshfield; J.

A. Gaynor, of Grand Rapids; W. H. Carey, of Centralia, and A-. E.

Germer, of Pittsville. On motion the above delegates recommended by the committee were adopted by the convention. The convention then adjourned. Vermont Heard From. If the remaining northern states follow Vermonts excellent example there will be no doubt of election in November.

election in that state reveals the fact that there are large Republican gains over the vote of two years ago. Grouts majority for Govenor is likely to exceed 40,000. There is no doubt in our mind that after election in November people will wonder how it happened that there was so much talk for free coinage ofj silver and so few voters. We have confidence in the good judgment of the laboring classes and believe they will vote right on election day. What we want most is labor, money is plentv enough, if we only have an opportunity to earn it.

Maine will probably second Vermonts vote on Tuesday next. For Sale. one, block ten, Nekoosa, 56x155 feet with a house 24x24 ft. For full particulars enquire of A. L.

Fontaine. Dead Chickens. Hunters are still at large in the marshes and haunts of the prairie hen around us and scores of the pretty birds continue to fall victims to the ravages of powder and shot from guns in the hands of skillful marksmen. Prairie chickens are very plentiful this year and those who have not yet had a meal, or more than one, of the dainty, wild meat are indeed slow. Singly, doubly and in larger parties the gunners go, and none return emptv handed.

Higher lending rates bring it, notwithstanding foreign events which disturb London markets, and growing confidence in the monetary future of the country helps. The shrinkage of merchandise imports and the increase of exports also help, for comparing with last year exports have increased 9.6 per cent, in August, while imports have decreased 00.4 per cent, and for last week 40 per cent. These tendencies all help to lessen the strain, but the closing of works and failures of important concerns show how much disturbance a proposal of radical monetary change has already caused. Liabilities in failures for three weeks ending August 20th were $20,902,285 against 066, last year, and $8,214,470 in 1894; manufacturing were $11,199,908 against $3,517,077 last year, and $2,845,308 iu 1894; trading were $4,904,062 against $2,852,989 last year, and $0,884,414 in 1894, while brokers and other commercial concerns added $4,827,985 against $149,000 last year, and $1,884,718 in 1894. The stoppage of Hilton, Hughes this week, is of course not included in these figures.

If such are the fruits of partial impairment of confidence, it may without departure from a nonpaltisan attitude be asked, what would follow the change which is only feared? nag aI. Twin City McKinley Club. About forty-five Republicans convened in the city ball Friday evening for the purpose of organizing a Mc- Kinley club. The meeting was called to order by Geo. E.

Hoskinson. Upon his motion B. M. Vaughan was elected temporary chairman and A. B.

Crawford temporary secretary. It was decided that a club be organized under the name of Twin Citv Mc- Kinley Club, and it was so agreed. A committee of three Geo. E. Hoskinson, Geo.

T. Rowland and Geo. McMillan were appointed by the chair to draft suitable resolutions for members of the club to sign in joining. The temporary organization was on motion made permanent and the following officers elected: President M. Vaughan.

Vice President E. Hoskinson, B. Crawford. Treasurer J. Cooper.

An executive committee was elected, as follows: C. J. Carman, George McMillan and W. J. Shea.

They were authorized to select and procure a suitable place for the holding of future meetings. About 200 members have joined the club up to the present writing. About Advertising. ought to be changed in every issue of the paper. There are lots of new goods coming in, and each line furnishes material for an excellent advertisement.

Publish the ads as if they were news, and tell about the new goods as they come out. If anything comes which seems to be specially desirable, give it particular prominence, and in almost every case it would be a good idea to mention the price. Whatever you do, do not deal in glittering generalities. Do not put an ad in the paper and say, Smith, Hardware There is nothing to be gained by such advertising. It probably woith what it costs; but the same space used in an intelligent, thoughtful manner, will bring returns every time.
