As to there being beer on the grounds, that is a false statement, but unlike Wallingford and Bramble concerning their hops, he does not wish to repeat it again.

Since 1878 there have been pine epidemics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of most skilled physicians have failed to check its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves it to be the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.

THEY WERE MURDERED. The Terrible Crime of Four Colored Men Revealed by a Confession. HARRODSBURG, Aug. dead bodies of Joseph Hopper and his 16-year-old niece, of Laurel county, were found horribly mangled on the track of the Louisville Southern at Vanarsdell, ten miles north of this place, early in the morning of June 18.

A Negro has confessed that both Hopper and Miss Lottie Johnson were murdered for their money. He suys he and four other young Negroes were playing craps near the railroad, when the man and woman passed, walking on the ties. He says that the other four shot the couple with pistols; that they procured but little money, and then dragged the lifeless forms of their victims 200 yards left them on the track in a curve of the road; that he did his best to prevent the awful crime, but could not, and that they threatened to kill him if he ever said a word about it. He said he was innocent of the crime, but guilty of keeping the awful secret, and his conscience forced him to divulge. He confessed Friday to one of his neighbors, Jesse Cosby, 3, reputable white man, who notified the county officials.

will reach the Ohio state line at an early hour next Monday morning. The train on which he will travel by the sylvania line is not one of the fast expresses, and the democratic candidate will have time for stops, short talks and handshaking. The train will leave Chicago Sunday night at 11:80 o'clock and the time of arrival Monday at some of the principal points en route is as follows: Ft. Wayne, 5:25 a. a Van Wert, Middle Point, Delphos, Elida, Lima, Lafayette, Ada, Washington, Dunkirk, Forest, Kirby, Upper Sandusky, Nevada, Bucyrus, Crestline, 10:25 (stop of ten minutes); Mansfield, 11; Wooster, 12:14 p.
Orrville, Massillon, Canton, Alliance, 1:55 (stop of fire minutes); Pittsburgh, 5:10. Bryan will not now positively state just where he will speak in Ohio, and all he will say is that any addresses made next Monday will necessarily be short and informal, friendly rather than political. Much will depend on the feeling of the candidate as be passes through, and the reception accorded him by the people en route. If there is time enough he will surely speak at Ada, Crestline and Alliance, where considerable time can be had. He is urged also to talk at Canton, Massillon and Mansfield.
Bryan's closest friends advise him to reserve his voice for the great effort in Madison Square Garden, when he will respond to the formal ratification August 12. There will be an immense audience present and the opposition press will have him watched closely and criticised unmercifully. BASEBALL.
