The agitators of the next free silver; campaign will, doubtless, be very bitter over the treachery of wheat to the arty. The let lie publican campaign dc umenU this year are the daily reports of increasing business and the general revival of prosperity. The treasury figures show that there has Ufa an increa.se of nearly t- per capita in the money in circulation in the United States during the past year. Ja(vb S. Coxey was on Wednesday nominated for governor by the Ohio PoimlLst State Convention at Colum bus. The auti- fusion faction were in control. The argument in the ca.- to test the right of the State to tax foreigners three cents a day has tieen held in Pittsburg, and pretty soon the Hun and Dago will know where be is at. The Bryanites are deeply mortified at the continued rise in the price of wheat. It disrupts all their theories. upsets their plans and destroys their hopes for the future. Hut the farmers smile. Since the beginning of the year flO,- (Ml.ft.M of indebtedness luw been paid oft" by the farmers of Nebraska. In view of this fact it should not surprise any one that the tide is turningagainst llryau in that state. WiIkx a farmer can not help being prosperous, he is bound to cease being a Populist; and this is the situation of thousands of American citizens who voted for Brvan last vear on account of the depression of agriculture. Sm retarv Sherman has made two oint8 in this Japanese-Hawaiian busi ness pretty clear. He lias shown that Jaan has no intentiou of interfering in the annexation matter, and also that her interference would neither prevent nor delay annexation. The Harrison administration, under the McKinley tariff and Sherman re sumption, was in full career of pros perity when "there was a "chaDge" wanted, and after the Democratic elec tion in 1S!2 that came fast enough, and stuck to the people like a burr. Silver has reached the lowest point in its entire history. But Director Preston, of the United States mint. says that it is to go still loser. This fall, he says, is simply the lack of de mand by the world for silver as a mon ey metal. "Gold is appreciating V shriek the silverites. Oh, no. A gold dollar will buy less wheat or other farm products and fewer commodities in general than it did six months or a year ago. A gold dollar will buy leas labor than it for merly did. Commodities and waees are "appreciating," and not gold. The more the perils of Klondike life are pointed out, the more people want to see those perils for themselves. In this case, as in many others, the gener ality will decline to have any other teacher than experience, and will be sorry only when the cost of the lessons is presented for payment. Nobody can tell what will be the fate of the administration's currency reform bilL It certainly will pass the House, which is the only branch of Congress the Republicans control. Probably it will be defeated in the Senate, but if it is defeated the Republican party will not tie responsible. The way for the gold Democrats to get the currency re form they want is for them to pitch in and help the Ilepublicans to carry the tenate as well as the House. Two reforms are badly needed in the ad ministration of our penal svstem. Klectroeution should be substituted for hanging as a mode of capital punish ment, and the current practice of mak ing heroes aud martyrs out of brutal murderers by injudicious sentimental ists ought to lie sternly stopiied. Bru tality should 1 eliminated from all treatment oi criminals, hut there is lositive danger to society in going to the other extreme and sympathizing with these criminals as mere unfortu nates. i he itepublicau State convention will meet in Harrisburg on August 'JR. There is practically no opposition to Major Levi il. McCauley, of West Chester, for Auditor ieueral and James S, Beaconi, of Westmoreland, for State Treasurer. Congressman Bobbins of Westmoreland, will nominate Beaconi, and Colonel H. II. Oilkyson, ofPhu nixville, will place McCauley's name before the wm vent ion. John P. Klkin, the present popular chairman of the state committee will t unanimously re-elected . AT the recent session of Congress Mr. Cray, by request, introduced in the innate a bill to grant pensions to every soldier, sailor or marine who served ninety days or more in the late w ar and to the widows and minor chil dren of such. Under the provisions of the bill all honorably discharged men are to receive monthly a cent a day for rry uay oi service, out none to re- ivive less than eight dollars a month; all soldiers' widows are to receive twelve dollars er mouth, and minor children of deceased soldiers are to re ceive two dollars per month.

Va., Aug. li CapL Hatfield, the notorious desperado, whose hand are mid lo be red with Ibe blood of many men, ia still defying the law, and has successfully eluded Ibe officers who have pursued him since bis escape from jail at Williamson, several week since. Sheriff KeaUle and Detective J. II. Bald win, who were heading a posse of almost 30 men, spied Hatfield and his party on Beech creek yesterday afternoon, and the reports which hae reached this city re garding the occurrence have been very conflicting. However, it is known that a fierce fight took place and alstut 40 to IM shots were fired hy the authorities and Hatfield's men. The shcDting was near a large rock cliff known as Itovils Backbone, and Hat field's men retreated to these rocks, and it would have been disastrous for the offi cers to have closed in on mem. jodd Koonts and Jacob France, two of Sheriff Keable's men, are said to have been dan gerously wounded, and it is known that some of the Hatfield following were hurt during the struggle. It is belived that Hatfield and his men left Devils Back bone nnder cover of darkness aud are re treating toward the interior. Sheriff Keable and Detective Baldwin will continue the chase, and law-abiding citizens are being added to their ranks daily, who will assist them in effecting Hatfield's capture. Toler and Klias, brothers of CapL Hatfield, are known to be with hint, and they are each fine rifle shots and are as firm in a tight as their brother. It now looks as though it might be days, probably weeks, before a capture is effected, and then probably at a great loss of life. Hatfield is said to have at least 30 men with hiin, most of thetn be nng relatives. Urvt excitement prevails throughout Mingo county, and the out come is eagerly awaited. Convict Labor. The superintendent of the Huntingdon Reformatory has asked the Attorney tien- eral for an opinion upon the question of the proper construction of the act of As sembly passed at the recent session of the Legislature limiting the number of in mates of penal institutions who can ls employed in the nianulacture of goods. wares and merchandise in such institu tions. The act of Assembly provides that only five per cent, of the number of inmates in penitentiaries and other penal institu lions can be employed in the manufacture of articles such as are iuanufa'tured else where in the- State. Some of these insti tutions took the ground that they can em ploy in each institution five per centum ot the number of inmates confined in all of the institutions. Deputy Attorney I'eneral Klkin has given an opinion in which he holds that this is not a proper construction of the law. He holds that each institution must be treated separately, and that the per centage mentioned in the act of Assembly must lie held to mean five per centum of the number of inmates confined in each institution. He also holds that the third section of the act prohibits the use of power-driven tnachiuery in the manufac ture of any kind of goods, wares and mer chandise manufactured elsewhere in the State. This law was advocated by the la' bor organizations of the State, and was in tended to prevent competition between convict and other labor. A bill passed by the recent Legislature and signed ty the Uovernor, places a premium of t- on wild cats, ?1 on red or grey foxes, and fifty cents on minks. In order to secure this premium the animal itseii or its entire pelt from tip to nose. must be presented to a Justice or Alder man and affidavit made where and by whom the animal was killed. The officer will then rut off the ears and burn them, giving the person a certificate of the amount due him, who, upon the presen tation of the same to the County Com in is sioners, will receive an order for the amount upon the county treasury. Any person who shall willingly and fraudu lently collect any premiums shall upon conviction thereof pay a fine not exceed ing fVWO or undergo an imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year or both. This law is now in effect. Chikenoiit Club Die bande. Slumbering away in the archives of the Youghiogheny's history in years from now may some time be resurrected the record of the "Chikenozit Club," the or ganization which was chartered in the spring of 1HH2 by a number of Connells- ville young men for summer enjoyment in the mountains. The last act of the club was the surrender of its charter. which was done a few days ago and the club toot its place among the things that were and are not. Since the organization of the club it was the means of much enjoyment. Ten acres of ground were purchased in Turk eyfont township, Somerset county, part of the land lying just over the Pinkerton tunnel. This ground was wild, but en ticing, and several paths wound round spots that are not equaled for mountain scenery in this part of the State. For two vears after the organization of the club the twenty men kept up their interest in it. A cluli house was Mult, which was ailed "Ohikemi7.it I'tena," meaning in F.uglish Turkeyfoot Lodge. This house was kept in order for the reception of truest y Frank Anderson and his fam ily, and many an outing was enjoyed there. But interest lagged after the first two years, until only two or three members con tri I hi ted to the maintenance fund. A short time ago the club confessed judg ment amounting to about Sl.00 in favor of J. L. Kendall. The effects of the club were wild by the Sheriff of Somerset county last week, the charter was sur rendered and the mountain resort passed awav. Connellsville Courier. War on the Cattle Tick. St. Lor is Mo, August II. The ap pearance of cattle in large numbers with Texas fever or ticks h ts caused the State Board of Illinois to established a rigid quarantine against them at Kost St, Louis, 111. It wax discovered that aliout six carloads of the "tickers" bad tten re ceived within the past eight days, aver aging about 41 to the car. The quaran tine was applied lo all of them that could uot be immediately shipped back to Ar kansas and Tennessee. In Texas great results are expected from the dipping of hundred of cattle in chloronaptholeum as a means of ridding them of ticks and thus destroying the germs of Texas fever.

Oermi of Death ia Hidei. Dit Bois, Pa., August 12. One of the most remarkable imported epidemics of disease in the annals of the Pennsylvania Board of Health, which body is under stood to be investigating as to its causes. has compelled the shutting down of the tannery at Falls Creek, two miles from Du Bois. Four of the employes at the tannery, who have handled hides from China, have died of this strange malady ithin the last few days, and several others are reported to be critically ill. while ncore or more of cittle hive died. evidently of the same disease. Investigation has revealed the fact that some time ago the tannery company re ceived the first invoice of 10t,0M hides. imported rroin cniiia. l be hides were started through the process of tanning and the liquors drained into the creek. Not long afterwards several bead of cattle, running at large, and drinking from this creek died, and to this date a score have gone to the bone-yard. It was clearly established that all the sick and dead cattle had drank water from the contaminated stream. When, therefore, some of the tannery employes were also -subsequently taken sick, with symptoms resembling those that carried off the cattle, there was great alarm at Falls Creek. This feeling of ap prehension was intensified when four of the tanners died. Investigation revealed the fact that the hides were infected with anthrax bacte ria. Only one mau who has beeu afllicted has recovered. Anthrax is a malady most deadly in itseffect upon man or beast, and when human beings are attacked by it they know that unless they can overcome ila virulent germs in from five to eight days they must die. Falls Creek settlement is consequently very much alarmed lest the infection should continue to spread and deal out death to the inhabitants. The matter has been kept as secret as possible, but it is understood that it has been referred to the State Board of Health and that an investigation is al ready afoot. Unique Xarriage Association. Laporte, ImL, August 11. The W. L. Mesne Marriage Association, with 2400 mem tiers, will be incorporated next week. It is the only organization of the kind in the country and is the creation of Rev. W. L. Meese, a patriarch in the In diana ministry. Its incorporators will be the couples be bas married during his long career in the ministry. Pastor Meese will be the only member of the association not married by himself. The association is formed for the de clared purpose of promoting marriage. and the constitution, to which all must subscribe, makes it unlawful on penalty of expulsion for members to discourage the marriage relation. A reunion of the 1200 couples will be held on August 19. Kept Captive by EU Tribe. Cuicaoo, Aug. 12, David McFarland, halfback of the famous Carlisle Indian foot ball team, told a strange story Tues day night before leaving this city for Carlisle, Pa. The athletic young redskin declares that for five days be was held prisoner in Idaho by the Nezperces, to which tribe he belongs, and made bis es cape by merest chance. His father is chief of the tribe, but be is growing old. Young McFarland is the popular choice of the members of the once famous tribe, and they want him to become their chief. Therefore when he paid his annual visit to his tribesmen be was importuned to stay away from school and take his father's place. He refused, a( powwow followed and then he was thrust into a small wooden building and kept a pris oner five days. While his guards were asleep he escap ed, was followed as far ss Kansas City, where he gave bis pursuers the slip. He declared that he will not return to Idaho before he has graduated. Vacant Chaplaincy ia ths army, Washisgtoh, August 15. Three hun dred ministers in the country have been attracted by a vacancy existing in the grade of chaplain in the army and have applied tor the appointment. The place carries with it fair pay, the rank of cap tain, an 1 no very bard duties. Chaplains have to bay no expensive uniforms and usually get desirable stations. Some of them gave the authorities trouble, however, and there are a number of instances of courts-martial of this clans for various offences against the army reg ulations. Secretary Alger believes that there should be soma age limit for the appointmeut of chaplaiua, and bas settled on 38 years as a (air one. None of the candidates, therefor, older than 38 can hope to be selected. Previously no atten tion has been paid to this point. The chaplains in the army are not as a rule the healthiest set of commissioned officers, and this is said to he due to the fact that no physical examinations for appointment have been required. Not long ago a chaplain waa appointed and continued, and when ordered to duty it was discovered that be waa a paralytic. Chaplains are admitted to be necessary to the army, but the authorities are weary of having in the service a number of men frequently not physically capable of per forming their duties. Secretary Alger will probably provide that the man be selects shall undergo a physical examina tion before being appointed. LAST OF THE FEHHSTLTAHIA BAIL- BOAD'S POPIJLAE EXCUESIOHS TO THE SEASHOBE.

C, August 14. 'Wherever man can go, his mail can follow him," seems to be the motto of the United State Post Office Department, and in living up to it, a regular letter carrier service has already been started over the Chilkoot Pass to the Yukon gold field, a JfUO-raile journey. A contract has been entered into call ing for a regular monthly service all the ye tr round, for which fMl a month (a trip) is to be paid. A carrier started simultaneously from Juneau and from Circle City about July 13, bearing the mail. There are five hardy fellows in the enterprise. The winter trips will be made with the aid of dog trains attached to sledges. From the summit to Circle City there is a trackless reach of snow and ice for over eight hundred miles. It is easy to miss the trail, and steering must largely be done by the com pass or by the stars. Honey for tbo Farmers. New York, August 14. The Sunday World to-morrow will print estimates. made exclusively for the newspaper by experts of the Agricultural Department in Washington, of the amount of money which has been or will lie soon distribut ed among the farmers as the result of ad vanced prices for this season's crops as compared with those of last year. The figure is placed at f iOU.OiiO.uun, and. while this seems enormous and is difficult to fully comprehend, shrewd experts, whose business it is to know all about the crops of the world, say the figures are too low. They unhesitatingly place the sum at f700,Ouo,OiiO, and others more optimistic go further to assert that the amount will fall not far short of fl,o.l.nrt, Olio. All authorities agree that this is a great year for the American fanner. The latest Government crop bulletins, from which the World's estimates are made up by the Agricultural Department, are invaribly understated. They are always conserva tive, and it is more than likely that the experts of Wall street and the Produce Exchange are nearer right in placing the total at 700,0ii0,000. Tongb Steak Led to Crime. Nkw York, August 14. Gustav John son, a carpenter, forty-five years old. was held to-day without bail to await the result of his wife's injuries.

The farmers' dream of dollar wheat is within 10 cents of being realised. India has bad a plague and a drought. Russia's crop of wheat is small, Aus tralia has not yet recovered from the most disastrous drought in her history and the Argentine Republic crop is smaller than usual. The farmers of the United States, on the other hand have wheat in abundance. Such a condition in the world's production of this grain bas nut existed previously in a great many years. Wheat has brought higher Dricea mauv times, but they have been commanded by speculators, who at vi rious times have "cornered" enough of the visible supply to force brokers who bad contract to deliver certain amount of wheat at a certain price to buy the grain of them and pay whatever price they demanded. But none of these booms benefited the farmer. He threshed the wheat, and, lierbaps, mortgaged bis farm, to get it to market. He had to sell at 40 cents bushel. The wheat the farmer sowed last fall, however will yield handsome profits to him. The continent of Kurope wants it for bread. Thousands of bushels are eoine out of the country every day. The railroads coming to the Atlantic sea- Umnl are choked with it- Agents of I foreiirii Isivers are Koine among the firms and paying substantial prices for it. They are paying for it in gold, too. If dollar wheat is reached, however, it will be after the speculators have made the market play many capers, conserva tive men say. It Life Wortk Living?
