We deeply regret the loss to jour nalism ut win, li. Kurtz, late editor of the Lewisburg Journal, one ot Mr. Bryan is so strong on the con sent of the governed that he force! his own views on a convention with out its consent. Meantime, let it not be forgotten that the West Virginia oil com jianies have raised the wages of all their employees ten percent. This is pretty tough for a bonier stale. The production of wire nails in this country has increased sixty per cent, in the last four years, and yet the working men are not chewing them nearly as much as formerly. The paramount interest of the people in this campaign is to do nothing that will interfere with the general prosperity that is now en joyed by all paris of the country. Even the Nebraska promisor does not promise to give better times than at present enjoyed. ; 1 If the voters could forget history, refuse to learn in the hard school of experience, prefer promises to deeds, lie willing to take chances on a wild experiment and want a change there would 1r' some chance of the Ne braska candidate reaching the White House. People who are superstitious about thirteen, should pause a moment, and if they have a twenty-five cent silver coin in their pocket, take it out and count the array of thirteens. They will find out that it's the greatest kind of a thirteen hoodo. Beginning with the stars there are thirteen, and thirteen letters in the scroll, which the eagle holds in its claws; thirteen feathers are in its tail, and there are thirteen parallel lines on the shield; thirteen lionron tal stripes; thirteen arrow heads and thirteen letters in the words "quar ter dollar." There seems to bo a popular re sponse to the suggestion that a com pany of NationaUiuards lie organiz ed at this place. It is certainly a maulestation til the proper spirit. Theeflort is good, but it is perhaps a little late. last year when the (iuard was being re-organized won Id have been a better time. Sunbury got two companies; these, with one at Shamokin anil one at Milton, make four companies in Northumberland County and none in Snyder County. The best, how ever, that can Ik- done at the present time is to organize a company, get into it the best material possible and wait toi a vacancy to occur in the guard. When a company drops out of the guard, the vacancy is till ed very quickly. The company should bo organised and wait for a chance to drop into a vacancy. Mr. Bryan used fo say that the people wanted more money. They have it some one hundred and thirty-five millions annually in cir culation more than they had four years ago, and none of it was manu factured, either, so far as we have learned. THE AKRON RIOT. The local disturbance and riot In Akron last week caused by a negro attempting to commit a rape on a five-year-old girl is causing consid erable comment. The negro had been captured and placed in the Akron jail, but the authorities fear ing a lynching party, had the negro removed to Cleveland. The lynch ing party appeared at the jail and were told that the neeru was not there, and in order to assure the ' a a a a lynchers ot this tact, the jail warden gave them the privilege of seareh- imr the ail. 1 he failure to nun tnc negro enraged the lynching party all the more and led them to believe that the jail authorities were protect ing the vile negro. TK.- would-be Iv into a band of rioters and in their mad rush to hasten justice upon a guilty negro at least three innocent persons were killed, W more or less injured, a million dollars worth of property destroyed and the town placed in the hands of the military authorities. The city building was hnrnwl and the rioters prevented the firemen from throwing water on the flames under the threat ot being filled with lead. It is an easy matter to sit down in a mol moment to lament such a riot and denounce it as uncalled for, and while nothing was gained by the killing of three innocent penonf and destroying property, yet it is but projier that the rioters lie given credit for their desire to protect in nocent children from the brutal in stincts ot the colored population. They deserve credit for the best of their motives, but the means they employed must be characterized as barbarous Bnd should be wholly un known in a civilized community. DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way io cure ,i,. fUu unit that, in hv constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition 01 tne mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When the tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

New York, Aug. 28. At the Hotel Vendome yesterday John W. Esson (or Eisln), of Chicago, fired two bullets, one Into tho head and the other into the body of his friend and associate, Harold H. Strldlron, and then thrust ing the muzzle of the revolver between hi teeth sent a bullet through his own head. The suicide expired immediate ly. His victim has a fighting chance for his life. The police 'are of the opinion that the man who attempted the murder and then committed sui cide was crazed by the extreme beat and maddened by drink and Jealousy. Both men came from Chicago orig inally. Esson, or Essln, Is at.d to have been a contractor In that city. His friends assert that he cams to New York with the expectation of getting a contract on the underground road now being constructed In this city. To the Coroner Strldlron made the following statement: "Coroner Zucca, I am Harold H. Strldlron, ot No. 119 Seeley avenue, Chicago. I came here for the Fitx simmons and Ruhlln fight from Chi cago. I met John Esson here two weeks, ago and saw him several times afterward. We drank together and went around together. I met him yes terday afternoon, Sunday, Aug. 2f. I got him a room at the Vendome and I signed for his meals. This morning he cams to my room and we went out for an automobile ride on Riverside drive. When we returned to the hotel he insisted upon going to my room te lie down. While there he shot me. "On Saturday afternoon he told ms that he had attempted to commit sui cide, but was stopped. He asked ms to telephone a girl that he had at tempted to commit suicide. Shortly after I telephoned the girl hunted him up and demanded her Jewelry. She then went away with Esson. While we were riding In the automobile he told me that he expected to get 125,000 to give to this girl, but I never saw him with any money or Jewelry of any kind." Coroner Zucca afterward learned that the woman was Mrs. Lillian Hayes. She approached that official yesterday and told him that she had loaned the suicide $1,000 worth of diamonds because he was In desperate circumstances. To a reporter Mrs. Hayes explained that she came here from Chicago two months ago. She said that she knew the dead man in Chicago, that he brought his friends around to see her, and soon grew Jealous. Mrs. Hayes aald that if he had not been drinking be would not have been Jealous. This note was found on the dead man: "The better the day the better the deed. The world and my friends will be rid of me. Those who have been kind will forgive ma, aa I hop God WW. I art a failure."
