It was raining hard, a chill cold - ram. when the candidate reached Sioux City at 10.20 this morning. He was escorted to tbe big train shed of the Union pas. seneer station, and, mounted on a truck. be addressed an audience of several thousand persons , huddled together there. After an introduction by lodge Van Wagenen, candidate for Congress in tbe Eleventh Iowa district, Mr. Bryan said . Fel!ow-cit!zens: If our opponents are right in the declaration that the gold standard ought to be maintained in this country until foreign nations consent to its abandonment, then, my friends, the election of an advocate of the free coin age of silver would be an injury to the country. If, on tbe other hand, we are right in our contention that there can be no permanent relief until we have re stored silver to . its ancient place and permitted it to enter the mints on equal terms with sold, I say if we are right, then the maintenance of the srold standard is a crime against the American people. (Cheers ) In the discussion of a great question like this there are several things which throw light upon the controversy. If you go into court and find a witness who is willing to clearly state what be knows, who gives bis testimony without evasion. vou believe that be is an honest witness. If, on the other hand, you find a witness who deals in ambiguous phrases, who at tempts to evade questions and who at tempts to cover np his ideas with words of a doubtful meaning, you doubt the honesty and sincerity of the witness. So, in a controversy like this, when our people who advocate free coinage openly declare what they want, why they want it and how they expect to get it: wben they sive you reasons for thefr faith, you have a right to have confidence in the honesty of their purpose, Bat when our opponents try to secure a gold standard without daring to advo cate it, v when they talk about sound money when they mean gold, wben they talk about an honest dollar when they mean the most dishonest dollar there is in the land to-day (cheers), you have a right to question their sincerity. "My fr.enda. men who have a cause in which they believe, are not ashamed to state their belief. -and when voaTina wrlUea on Republican banners that de ceptive phrase "sound money," yon have a right to believe that the men who use the term use it because they are not will ing to tell the American people what tbeymean by sound money. (Cheers.) r We believe in sound money, and we believe that the free coinage of silver 16 to 1 gives ns a sounder money than can te had by tbe gold standard. We believe in a safe financial system, bnt we believe that in order to be safe a financial sys tern must have a foundation broad enough for that to rest upon. (Cheers.) "Our opponents tell you that they want bimetallism whenever the foreign nations will consent to it, and yet they secretly use every effort to fasten tbe gold standard upon the American people, t. Applause. j JLet me ask you tnis question, ana you can repeat it to tbe advocates ot tbe Republican plat' form: 'Is the gold standard a good thing? lories oi 'kci woi irom the crowd and one cry of Yes! ) ' My Republican friend says the gold standard is a good thing. I ask him why the Kepuoiican party promised to get ria oi tne goia standard as soon as thev could? (Cheers.) Departing from their platform, the Republicans will tell you that gold is good money because it is good all over the world.': My friends, no money is good which rises in value and robs the producers of this country to tbe benefit of the bondholders. (Cheers.) - ?." - . v, They say the gold dollar is honest. No dollar is honest which rises in value and gives an unearned advantage to the man who loans money and imposes an unjust burden on the man who agrees to pay. toneers) "There is something necessary in money besides quality. There must be quantity as well as quality to money.' (Cheers.) . , On the conclusion of his speech Mr. Bryan returned to his train, which left at 11.15 over tbe "Chicago & North western for Sioux Falls, S. D, Siotjx Falls, S.' D., October 10.

And the crowd that bad braved the rain to see the candidate heard him make a little speech.: : "You will see men who handle money and own money and change money, who are anxious for money to rise in value, he said. "Yon see men who handle corn and raise corn, who are anxious to have corn rise In value. The people who raise con have a right to protect themselves and to prevent an additional fall in tbe price of corn. . The more nations there are which demand . gold, tbe greater will be the .difficulty to get it, and the" more of our corn will it buy.

' The Torkten, Qneatlon Diaonaaed, Dy Letd fiosebery at a Kectiag in Edinburgh, Br Cable to the Morning Sta.. - Edinburgh, October 9. Speaking in this city to-night, Lord Rosebery, the ex-Prime Minister, discussed the reme dies that had been suggested for the set tlement of the Turkish question. He adduced reasons against nearly every one of the remedies. Regarding the proposal that Kussia should take posses sion of Constantinople, Lord Rosebery said that tbe late government (his own had been extremely anxious to arrive at an entente with Russia and he was still in every way hopeful that a satisfactory un derstanding between Great Britain and Russia on tbe Turkish question would be reached. He urged the advocates of the proposal, however, to remember tbe treatment that baa oeen accorded tbe Poles by the Russians. Moreover, he asked, how is Great Britain to trive to Russia what is not hers ? Avowing veneration and unaltered friendship for Mr. Gladstone, Lord Rosebery said that he could notagtee with the proposal made by the latter in bis Liverpool speech to withdraw the British ambassador from Constant! nople, or to threaten action JrirtcuC3tt,( jot be effected; if,, the aa not approve. Such a coarse' would lead to humiliation, tie dinered with Mr. Gladstone in the opinion that Great Britain-was bound by the Cyprus con vention to intervene in Turkey. This convention had been a dead letter ever since It had been signed, He did not desire especially tbe retention of Cyprus, and would willingly give it to another Power, except Turkey, as the price of a European concert. , Lord Rosebery further declared that he was emphatically opposed to isolated action by Great Britain on the Turkish question and would fight the proposal tnat she act alone. This action would mean a European war, with the slaneh- ter of hundreds of thousands, threaten the existence of Great Britain, and per haps precede the extermination of the Armenians. He could conceive of noth ing more futile, dangerous and disastrous than such a policy. Any British Minis ter incurring a European war, except through the necessity ot interests dis tinctly British, would be a criminal to bis country and to his position. He be lieved that any just war would have the assistance ol the British colonies. He doubted that a war in behalf of the Armenians would elicit such assistance. The panacea was concerted action by the Powers nearest interested. This could not be long postponed. Lord Kosebery then referred to his re tirement from tbe leadership of the Liberal party, saying that tbe diffuence of opinion on tbe Eastern question was only oneot a seriea-of incidents that had induced him to resign tbe leadership. lie added that be bad not received the loyal support that a people needed. it he was to lead his party successfully. His Government in its early days had been defeated by its own followers. The policy he bad suggested for tbe election had not been adopted. Finally, Mr. Glad stone had innocently administered the coup de grace. The Internal differences in the party had been equal to tbe exter nal difierences. : His action bad been so hampered as to render his position un tenable. -He had tendered his resigna tion to bis colleagues after the election. The meeting unanimously .adopted a resolution expresting gratitude for the manner in which Lord Kosebery bad the Liberal party, deeply regretting his re tirement and earnestly hoping that he would reconsider h's action and resume the leadership. - - ---r Lord Rosebery replied that bis was the result of mature , reflection and had been taken : with the conviction of its absolute necessity. . v " . i DISASTROUS FIRE.

A special to the Atlanta Constitution from Chicago says: The word has been flashed from Re publican headquarters in New York to Republican headquarters here that there is "trouble in Ohio," : This statement is accompanied by in formation from Indiana and Michigan which shows beyond a doubt that Bryan's chances are best in those two States. ' Very unfavorable "reports have been received by the Republican managers from tbe lower part of this State, and they conce.de that the great labor vote of Chicago is against them. - The result is consternation. . The Re publican bosses here have had the blind staggers for two days.' and the evidence of this is to be seen on all sides. It begins to look as if the Republicans are at last realizing what the Democratic managers have always said: and that is. that Illinois Indiana. Michigan and Min nesota, and even Unto, are strictly de- batatls ground, wun tbe chances in most of these States slightly in favor of De mocracy. ' : A specal correspondent to tbe St Louis Republic wrote from Wash in gton a few days ago declaring that "Beria" Wilklns, proprietor of the Washington Post, - says : "A careful poll of Oaio, made to -ascertain the true situition, gives the State to Bryan by 85.000 ma jority. If the Republic ins can take any comiort irom tbe situation in the. state of their nominees.' they are welcome to it." i - ' M -i v - This was surprising news and was not given very much Credence, though Mr. Wilkins is himself an Oaio man. It has since developed, however, that he obtained his information ' from high Republican sources in Ohio. Mark Hannais beginning to realize the troubles of a boodle campaign. He finds that his egents are not teo truth ful. For us ance, until a month agohs flrm'y believed that tbe railroad em plores bad been thoroughly converted. Suddenly he saw a few straws which set him to studying the wind. Then he took a half dozen of nis shrewdest and most trusted agents and set them moving through Iowa, Illinois, : Indiana and Ohio, without knowledge of each other's movements. : Their reports, separately and from the same districts, showed that the railway employes, outside of the pas senger train conductors, were practically solid for Bryan, and that the conductors had a majority the same way. : Similar reports showed that the farmers were al most on the verge of a mass movement in the same direction, and that tbe break had already come in formidable propor tions, s Then, it is said. Mr. Hanna adopted tbe shrewd plan of telling tbe railroad bosses to become conciliatory, and next he set the factors to work to ease the agricnltural situation. He knew, that the low prices were a great moving fac tor with tbe farmers. Wheat must be started up, and wheat was started up. It will be kept advancing until tbe elec tion is over. Corn; it is believed, is to be taken next, and by October 15th there will be a spurt in that grain. Five million dollars spent in booming wheat and corn would be a cheap investment, if it only resulted in carrying tbe grain belt lor McKinley.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that bo many forma of sickness are not duo to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-, ly removes. That is why It is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the brgans on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when yon pnr-: chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by, all repntaWe druggists. s,. If in the enjoyment of good health,. and the system Is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives roost eneral satisfaction.

Near the base of every well organised soman brain there la situated a curious little spongy body called the corpus oal losum. The existence of this peculiar or gan, if organ it may properly be called, at the base of the thought laboratory has been known to the physiologists, anato mists and neurologists for several eentu Ties, but up to a period comparatively re cent it has defied the efforts of the scien tists in their endeavors to ascertain its uses in the human anatomy. Like tbe vermiform appendix, the thyroid gland; the tonsils and the spleen, this corpus oal losum waa long believed to be an organ absolutely useless. But nineteenth cen tury study and Investigation have let in i flood of light on many subjects heretofore oonslnered "dark, deep and unfathom able," and the mystery of this little body in the brain Is only one of the many that have been cleared up. It is now known that the two so called "hemispheres" of the brain, had they no means of intercom munication, would each be perfect and separate brains, the one absolutely .inde pendent of tbe other. But they have a mode of intercommunication, ' and that means is furnished by the onoe supposed to be useless corpus callosum. , This all important little organ consists of a double chain of white nerve fibers and ft is through these that the two portions (hemispheres) ot the brain are enabled to not in harmony by being continually brought into anatomical andphysiological relations with each other. Several years ago a well known Philadelphia physician and surgeon, Dr. A. H. Stevens, made the announcement that in his belief the corpus callosum was the seat of the soul. Hla peculiar ideas were given quite an airing through the press at that time, but the whole theory fell pretty flat when Dr.- A F. Sawyer of San Francisco proved that a certain west ooast worthy had survived years after having the entire corpus cal losum shot out of bis thought tank and that another had lived 11 years after sus taining a similar injury. Tbe psycholo gists were pretty well agreed that a man's life would terminate tbe moment his soul made its exit on the lead of a pistol car tridge. It was these well attested cases of men living after losing the corpus callosum that caused Dr. Stevens' "soul theory" to relapse into obscurity.

There is a story of several years' stand. ing to the effect that at one time a loco motive on one of the lines running across the German-Russian frontier was used most successfully as a carrier of contraband goods, and that the fraud so long practiced was discovered only while overhauling the engine in the repair shops. The exact cir cumstances cannot now be called to mind, though the essential fact of suoh illegal use having been made of a legitimate piece of engineering work is brought back to memory, by a recently published item whioh chronicles a somewhat similar bit of deception, - The Belgian oustoms authorities, it ap pears, knew for a long time that large quantities of jewelry were smuggled over the French border, but how it was done puzzled them. In the luggage van of tbe express whioh runs between Paris and Brussels is a case which holds the accumu lators when the train is electrically lighted. A key of the case is held by the conductor of tbe express, a foreman porter and an excise official of the-border station, but none of these ever appear to use it.
