ROUGH RIDERS IN THE CAMPAIGN How Pennsylvania Young Repub licans Propose to Turn Out. WILL RALLY FOE THE TICKET. A Novel Cnlform For n Political Cnn iau I* That n£ the Followers of the Hero of Snn Juan Hill, Who la 011 the National Ticket. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, July 10. —Pennsylvania will be well to the front in enthusiasm and party fervor in the coming presi dential campaign. A proposition has been made to the party leaders to assist in the organiza tion of what shall be known as "Rough Rider" campaign clubs. These organizations, it is suggested, ehall be composed of young Republi cans, who will be recruited for the campaign and who will attend mass meetings and other party rallies in the interests of McKinley and Roosevelt and the entire Republican ticket. ROUGH RIDERS' RIGS. It Is proposed that the men who par ticipate in the demonstrations in which these clubs shall figure shall be uni formed in suits of khaki, with the Rough Rider slouch hats and leggings, and each to wear an artificial eye glass, as a sort of suggestion of Roose velt's personality. Gen. Reeder, chairman of the Re publican state committee, is under stood to look with favor upon this sug gested plan to enlist the sympathies iinxj the energies of young Republicans of the state, and, it is said, he will make ao effort to get Col. Roosevelt to make at least one speech during the present campaign in Pennsylvania. The local Rough Rider clubs will be gotten together for this occasion and a great ovation is promised the vice presidential candidate and the hero of San Juan Hill. A close friend of Governor Roose velt remarked a few days ago that had it not been for the positiye stand taken by Col. Quay and his colleagues in the Pennsylvania delegation to the Re publican national convention Col. Roosevelt would not have been nomU nated at the Philadelphia convention. Col. Quay will not take any undue credit for the attitude of the delega tion from this state on the issue of the vice presidency. He made it quite clear fhat he advocated the nomination of <Col. Roosevelt for vice president, not ion personal grounds—for it is prob able that they had not exchanged a ■dozen words before they met in Phil adelphia prior to the convention —but purely in the interest of the Republi can party and with a desire to see the ticket elected. Senator Penrose has been a close personal friend of Col. Roosevelt for years. They have spent inuch time to-. 1 her hunting big game in the wild west and as each is fond vf that sort of sport a natural feeline oi friendship developed between them. Prosperity will be the keynote of the coming presidential campaign, and Pennsylvania will not be ashamed to present the record of her advancement and success since the election of Mc- Kinley to the presidency. She is eager to do all in her power to continue the ascendency of the Republican party in administering the affairs of the na tion. She is proud of the work that lias been done under President Mc- Kinley's guidance and direction, and she is ready to meet the issue with any IJryanite champions at any time during the coming canvass. A gratifying condition of affairs among the workingmen of Pennsylva nia under the Republican administra tion of national affairs is presented in a report of James Campbell, chief of the Pennsylvania state factory inspec tion department. He says there has never been greater evidences of pros perity among the wage earners. PROSPERITY'S REIGN. Few men in Pennsylvania have bet ter opportunity for knowing the con dition of labor than has Chief Camp bell. because of the close touch which he must maintain with various indus tries, through his deputies, who cover every part of the state. "My reports up to the first of last March," he said a few days ago, "showed that there were then employed over 100,000 more people than at the time when my an nual detailed statement was prepared in November. At the latter period there were 328,000 more employes than there were about the same date in 1896. 50 that in all there are nearly a half million more wage earners engaged than there were four years ago in the branches covered by the deputy in spectors. "With this as a basis —that is, in the factories and other works subject to inspection by our deputies alone —there must be between 700,000 or 800,000 more hands employed than there were four years ago, taking into considera tion the increase on the railroads, in the mines and in other industries. This is true wherever you look. Things were never in better condition, in fact, than they now are. In many instances, moreover, it is found that there are manufacturing establishments in Penn sylvania that would be running on double time if the owners could get the required number of people. This is particularly the case as regards skill ed labor. It cannot be obtained to the desired limit in various lines. Of I course wages have gone up. They must do so as long as this scarcity of workmen exists. Iloiil Defeat* O'Brien. Chicago, July 11. —Jack Root, the undefeated middleweight of Chicago, at Tattersalls last night obtained the decision over Dick O'Brien, of Lewis ton, Me., at the end of six rounds in one of the fiercest battle ever witness ed in this city. O'Brien was in poor condition or probably the result would have been different, as he had Root down for the count three times in the second round. Sehweliifiirth to Leave HI» "HeaTen" Rockford, Ills., July 11.—George Ja cob Schweinfurth, claimed by his fol lowers to be the true Messiah and the son of God, has renounced the faith and announced that he will leave tha "Heaven" at once. To ]>nt the brake on the wagon going down hill is a help to the horse, when the wagon is heavily loaded. But what driver would think of applying the brake to a loaded wagon going up hill? If he did, his sensible horses would probably balk. Many a man is in the condition of pulling a load up hill with the brake set against him. When his stomach is out of order, and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition impaired in their functions, a friction is set np which has to be overcome in addition to the performance of daily duties. A foul stomach makes a foggy brain, and the man with a disordered stomach has often to grope his way through the day's business like a man in a fog. He forgets appointments. Problems seems present ed to his mind "wrong end to." This condition is entirely remedied by thense of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It puts the stomach ami diges tive and nutritive system into a condi tion of perfect health, and gives a clear brain, a steady hand and a light step for the day's duties. When constipa tion clogs the channels of the body, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will work an effectual cure for that disastrous dis ease. Hoy'* Hotly Found. Lock Haven, Pa., July 9. —The body of Paul Shapleigh, aged 17 years, who has been missing since the 3d inst., was found at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Paul left the city on Tues day morning for a farm six miles above the city on an errand for his uncle. He took a short cut across th/» rough mountain road on a bicycle, against the protest of a gentleman who directed Paul's route. The body was found through the efforts of a chain of 39 men. The coroner examin ed the body and expressed the opinion fhat Paul was stunned by a fall on a rock or was overcome by the intense heat, and that he had been dead since Tuesday. foal For Our TVar.xlilpa In Chlnn. Norfolk, Va., July 10. —The United States collier Caesar passed out the capes Sunday night with a cargo of 4,000 tons of Pocahontas coal. It is understood here that she sailed for Manila, but at Gibraltar she will find orders to take the coal to our war ships in Chinese waters. St. John's, N. F., July 11—The Bell Island strikers succeeded yesterday in preventing a coal schooner being un loaded or any other work being done at the mines. The manager, pt the mines have applied to the supreme court and the government for protecr tion. The whole available police fores of the colony will proceed to the scene to protect the working Bangs. A bloody affray is feared, as this means the last scene of the strike drama. • > ""MM."" 0 WSHOME persons [• J; it is natural for •; J them to lose flesh L . C. during summer.

The fire which destroyed the immense Swamp Root medicine plant of Dr. Kil mer «& Co., July 1, was the most disast rous which has ever occurred in Bing hamton. However, the Kilmers resumed business next morning, though not at the old stand, which is a heap of smoul dered ashes. While tilt- firemen were yet pouring water on the burning Che nango street establishment, the Kilmers were arranging to do business some where else. That this great industry might not be crippled for a moment, through the courtesy of other prominent firms and citizens, the large factory and adjoining buildings on South street were vacated for the benefit of the Swamp Root peo ple, and possession was taken immedi ately, and here, by Monday, July 8, this new, temporary factory will be turning out Swamp Root, the great Kidney Rem edy. in quantities of about HO. 000 bottles per day.and in two or three weeks time the full capacity of more than four times that amount will be produced. The immense demand for Swamp Root will thus in 110 way be interfered with. On the old site, with adjoining prop erty which has just been purchased, will be erected immediately an absolutely fire-proof six story structure, plans for which have been nearly completed. 1 If the apple crop this year will be as good one as is reported ] applejack will be plentiful in the rural region around election time, whereat the bucolic poli tician rejoiceth for mighty is the power of applejack in garnering votes.

WM J. BAI.DY. Audito. • BATTLP WITH CATTLE THIEVES. A Marshal Klllvil and the Three Oot lu»> Kalally Wouudfd. Glencoe, O. T., July 11.—One United States marshal was instantly killed and three desperadoes fatally wounded and captured in a fight on the Arkansas river, 40 miles epst of here, Monday night. A messenger brought the news here yesterday. In that locality there are a great many bands of cattle thieves who have terrorized residents for some time. Only a few days ago a farmer was killed while trying to protect his property. The three desperadoes who were captured Monday night had stolen a whole herd of cattle from the reserva tion and were taking them to a rail road station when the three marshals overtook them and the fight began. One of the marshals was killed at the beginning of the fight and the leader of the desperadoes was next to fall. Then the fight continued for nearly an hour, when another desperado fell and the remaining one started to run, but was brought down. It is thought that none of the outlaws will recover. inrrciint'd Corn Acroniff. Washington. July 11.—Preliminary returns to the statistician of the de partment of agriculture on the acreage 1 of corn planted indicate an increase of about 1,200,000 acres, or 1.5 per cent over the acreage harvested last year. Of the 22 states having one million acres or upward in corn in 1899 all but Alabama. Mississippi, Arkansas, Ten nessee and Kansas show an increased acreage, and the total decrease in the five states named is less than 600,000 acres. The Increase in acreage is, in the main, well distributed, there being only ten states and territories out of the 45 reporting that have not a larger acreage planted than was harvested last year.
