Already it is beginning to be
claimed that the democratic ticket
for 1900 should be, Bryan for
president and Mayor-eleot Van
Wyok.of New York City for vice.
Van Wyek is a straight demooral,
having voted and used his in-
fluence in 1896 for Bryan and
the Chicago platform. Tam-
many, whose candidate he was
for Mayor, did not declare itself
on the Chicago platform, claim-
ing that the Mayors race was a
local affair, and there was no
noed of lugging national issues
into the city ’s campaign. Tam-
many supported Bryan loyally
in the nationally campaign last
year. _
The screws have never been
turned upon Ohio republicans
employed in the government de-
partments at Washington harder
than just previous to the reoent
election. Many of them having
pleaded poverty as an excuse for
not going home to vote, Boss
Hanna sent a big batch of rail-
road tickets, about 500—from
Washington to Columbus, O.,
and return—to his Washington
agent, and these tickets were
placed in the handp of those
Ohio republicans who had claim-
ed to be too poor to buy their
own railroad tickets, and each of
them also informed that by call-
ing at the llanna headquarters
in Columbus in person free trans-
portation would be furnished
from that city to his voting place
in the state. And that isn’t all;
every one of these men had been
given a hint that it would be very
unwise for him not to go home
and cast his vote for the llanna
ticket—failure to do so would
endanger his job.

that it would simply allow mills

Biggest I’elato Vet.
The biggest sweet potato ever
shown on the streets of Stephen-
villo was brought in Wednesday
by T. A. Price, who lives in the
sandy land two miles webt of town.
It was of the white yam variety,
and dimensions as follows: length
16 inches, circumference 27
inches,Weight 17 pounds. It was
very much the shape of and as
large as a small ham of pork.
About 5 inches of the smatl end
had been broken off, so that the
original length was about 21
inches, and weight about 18
pounds. It was a wondor to all
who saw it.
Among those who have gone to
the Klondike is Gaston Cogsdell,
son of Banker Cogsdell,of Gran-

Sarsaparilla
Sense.
Any sarsaparilla is sarsapa-
rilla. True. So any tea is tea.
So any flour is Hour. Ilut grades
differ. Vou want the best. It's
so with sarsaparilla. There are
grades. You want the best. If
you understood sarmiparilla as
well as you do tea and flour it
would be easy to determine.
But you don't. How should
you ? When you aro going to
buy a commodity whose value
you don’t know, you pick out
an old established house to
trade with, and trust their ex-
perience and reputation. Do so
when buying sarsaparilla.

Last year the republicans
promised to give prosperity to
the laboring people all over the
north by opening the mines and
the mills, not the mints The
following from the Chicago Times
Herald will show how it is to be
fulfilled:
Chinese coal miners are to take
the place of Americans in the
northern Illinois district. An at
tempt will be made to break the
strike that exists, and 800 skilled
Celestials have been picked for
the work. They will all hear
arms, live inside a gattling gun
equipped stockade and be body-
guarded by 100 men, formerly
Chicago policemen. An agent
of the Chinese Six companies was
in Chicago last week and made a
contract with the General Wil-
mington Coal company to deliver
the 800 Chinamen at the mines of
the Wilmington-Braidwood dis-
trict. The first consignment of
200 will arrive next Tuesday and
the others will be on hand as
soon as provision can be made to
take care of them. Arrange-
ments for an additional 1000 Chi-
nese miners have been condition
ally made upon the success of
iho first venture. Elaborate pre-
parations have been completed to
take care of tho first 800 China-
men and to give them ample pro-
tection .
A instructin' Prairie l ire.
A tremendous prairie fire start
od in Hall county Monday and
swept across the north part of
the adjoining county of Crosby,
burning east and wos,. Then
the wind changed and the rav-
enous flames swept southward,
destroying everything in their
swift advance, until nearly the
entire country was ravaged and
left black and desolate.
All the ranch improvements in
the path of the flames were des-
troyed, hut the worst lost was
suffered by Mr. Donaldson, an
extensive sheep raiser, who lost
a flock of 8000 sheep, literally
burned to a crisp, their blacken-
ed corpses lying bunched togeth-
er where they had assembled in
their helpless terror. The stench
from the burning flesh was over-
powering.
On another rrnoh, belonging
to Mr.Scott, twenty head of cat-
tlo had their eyes burned out by
tho flames, and have been killed
to put them out of their misery.
Union Kilucntiminl Meeting-
On last Sunday the oitizens of
the Rooky Point, Smith Springs
and Pilot Knob communities held
a union meeting in the interest of
education. In the morning there
was an address on tho subject of
education by Prof. H. J. Moll-
hany, of tho John Tarleton Col-
lege; and in the aftornoon one
on the practical means of secur-
ing a good school by Prof. O.F.
Chastain, of the Stophenvillo
High School. A bountiful re-
past was served on the ground,
and all who attended report a
most enjoyable time.
We are glad to see that the cit-
izens of our county are taking
such interest in the cause of ed-
ucation. A thoughtful citizen-
ship is the crying need of the
hour, and every means whjoh is
conducive to that end should be
fostered and encouraged. Let
the good work go on until there
ght he wae improving till
just before his death. He was
a little over 27 years old, a son
of Mrs. M. C. Hensley of near
Williamsburg in Callaway coun-
ty, who stayed with him until
she, too, was strioken with the
same disease, and returned home
about four days before his death.
She is seriously ill. He leaves a
sister, Miss Susie Hensley, and
a brother, Elva Mosley, as well
as many other friends to mourn
his loss.
The body was taken Sunday
to the Allen graveyard, near
Readsville, where it was interred
after services at -the grave by
Rev. C. A. Mitohell^
Deceased was an exellent
man, a prominent raem-
the Baptist ohuroh here,
and highly esteemed by all who
knew him.
He was of a family of three
boys. His father died at the age
of 26, when Joseph was but two
yeats old. His elder brother
died while in Waco College,
Texas, studying for the ministry,
at the age of 26. Joseph died at
the age of 27 years, three months
and fifteen days. Thus death
came to these whife in their ear-
liest manhood. Only *me brother
remains, Elva, who lives near
Mt. Horeb church, this county.
Mr. Mosley will be remembered
by many of the readers of the
Empire.
He came to Texas in 1893 and
was hero teachin ' school when
his brother Will died. After the
close of school ho went to Mis-
souri and accepted a position as
book-keeper for a hardware firm
in Montgomery City; not liking
tho work ho come back to Texas
ami spent the summer.
Returning to Missouri ho grad-
uated from the Chilicothe Nor-
mal in photography, and entered
that as his life work.
Ho was converted in a pro-
tracted meeting conducted by
Eld. J. 11. Vincent and was
baptized into the fellowship of
Dalem Baptist church near here
and lived to honor tho profession
he made. No greater eulogium
can be pronounced on the char-
acter of any person than to have
it said of him that he was a pure,
noble, high minded Christian.
His death was regretted by all
the young people, who antici-
pated his return to Texas. His
was a noble life; pure kind, gen-
tlo and social.
Young man his was a life you
would do well to emulate.
The sympathy of this commu-
nity goes out to his mother in
her sad bereavmont, and also to
his loving sister and two broth-
ers, and would say, weep not as
for one who has no hope, but
emulate tho example he has sot,
and bo prepared to meet that
dear brother in the spirit land
where there will be no death, no
sorrow, no separation.

reached town yesterday afternoon
that he had died, but we were
unable to ascertain definitely the
truthfulness of the report.
The explosion was a terrible
one, scattering rooks and pieces
of timber for long distances. The
smoke etaok was thrown over 100
yards, and stopped at a man’s
gate. The building is almost a

The burial of the three fated

closed and the entire community
wasin mourning. Several friends
went out from here to attend the

Walter T. Miller, treasurer of
the New York Cotton Exchange,
who returned from Europe a few
days ago, made the following
statement concerning tho cotton
market abroad: ‘‘I found tho
general situation with regard to
trade and commerce favorable
and by no mo.ans un-atisfactory,
which I understand has been the
impression in America for the
past month or two. In England
and on theoontinent just the con-
trary was the case. As to the
prices of manuafetured goods, of
course buyers decline to buy long
stocks as long »s the south per-
sists in offering ootton down.
When enough cotton is marketed
to relieve the producer and he
feels able to hold some cotton,
buyers of manufactured goods
and traders in cotton will be anx-
ious to invest in both. ’ ’
