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.

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.

The electric lights attract around them
myriads of night Hying insects, such as

destroyed.

Women Should Knowt.
Many women sutler untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly understood. They lnve
been led to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of some sort is respon
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind.
Neural j> ia, nervousness, headache, pull'y
or dark circles under tie-eyes, rheuma
tism, a dragging pain oi dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing-down sensa
tion, profuse or setuty supply of ui'iie
with strong odor, frequent desire IO pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after s'anding in bottle or
common glass for twenty-four lion s, arc
siyns of kidney and bladder trouble*.
The above symptoms are often a't rihut
ed by the patient, heiselfor by hcrphys
cian to female weakness or woml» t • ouhle.
Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, be
cause they arc treating, not the disease
itself, but a icllection of the primary
cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are mule
miserable with kidney and bladder
trouble and bo; ,i need the same remedy.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is easy to get at any
drug store for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling nil
about it. both sent absolutely free by
mail. Kindly mention the MIINTOI 11

Shamokin, Pa., July 7. —A warrant
was issued last evening for the arrest
of Arthur Brown, of Sunbury, who is
charged with the murder of Frederick
Kline, of this place. The latter went
to Sunbury last Wednesday to attend
a firemen's parade. While crossing the
Susquehanna river he was reprimanded
by Brown, pilot of the steamer Queen,
for taking several small flags from
the bow of the boat. Then, it is al
leged, Brown dealt Kline a heavy blow |
on the head with a piece of lead pipe, !
crushing his skull. He was ren- ■
dered senseless and remained in that I
condition until his death yesterday.
The Boer I)eleK»teM in Pari*.
Paris, July 7. —The Boer delegates,
Messrs. Wessels, Fischer and Wol
marans, arrived in Paris last evening.
They were met at the station by the
president of the municipal council and
several senators, who invited them to
be present at a reception to be given
at the Hotel de Ville on Tuesday next.
The crowd which had gathered at the
station greeted the delegates with ac
clamations, and a few persons cried:
"Down with England." These were
placed under arrest, but were subse
quently released.

Washington. July G—Admiral Rich
born, the chief naval constructor, says
the floating of the Oregon off the rocks
is half the battle won, and that her
safety is now assured, and that what
remains now to be done to make her
fit for service is largely of a mechan
ical character. It is expected here that
opportunity will be taken of the first
favorable weather and smooth sea to
take the vessel to Kure, the Japanese
government having generously offered
the use of a naval dock there.

pected reciprocity arrangement be
tween the United States and Germany
has been effected. Secretary Hay and
the German ambassador have sub
scribed to the convention, and the

the first arrangement made with

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.
