situation.
The night at length wore away, and
when daylight had come, he started
down stream, knowing that it would
finally lead to larger stream where
he might find settlers and something
to eat. He expected that he would
reach tho Muscloshcll. All day long
he plodded down The banks of half
dried-up creck--hourly becoming
weaker, his hunger growing upon him
and suffering much from unsatisfiel
thirst. The sun was hot, which in
creased his thirst and urged to drink
the stagnant, braekish, alkaline water
and before evening his mouth was
blistcring and his tongue beginning
to swell.
Night came ~ atlast but with it
no sign Of human habitation. As on
the prcyions night, he built fire and
put in the long hours Of the night
rustling for wood to keep it going.
His slumbcr was unsatisfactory and
disturbed by hceting visions Of gurg-
ling waters and s,mptuous feasts.
In the morning. unrefreshcd, weak,
and almost frmishcd, he resumed his
way down stream. During the day
he saw anothcr bunch Of stray cattle.
and tried to shoot one of then, but
his hand was unsteady and his eye
not good and he missed his mark.
About noon he came to Il tree with Il
big nest high among its branches, and
hoping it contained eggs possibly
OF wild goose, us the wild geese in
that section nest in trces- he cssaycd
to climb up to it. After several at
tempts, which in his weak condition
were rather dangerous experiments,
he managed to reach the nest, only to
find it empty. Climbing down again,
he continued his way, and by dusk
reached the valley Of the Yellowstone,
many miles from where he suppos-
cd he was and there he found assist
anco. 1t was none too soon, us his
strength was going fast. He was be-
tween fifty and sixty hours without u
morscl OF food, and besides his ex-
hausted condition suffered very much
from Tie effects of drinking alkali
water. We arc pleased to announce
that he has now entirely recovered
from the unpleasant effects of his
enforced fast and wandcrinss.

FEELING OLD.
Peck Describes His Feelings at Witness
ing His Oldest eoys Marriage,


When man is first called pa" by
little ono that he hus half interest
in, he puts his thumbs in his vest,
smiles two-for-a-quarter smile, and
thinks hc is smart. Ho wonders if
over man as young and grcen-look-
ing rs he was called "pa,' before, and
he puts on style, and thinks that he is
u thoroughbred. But twenty years
later, when the aforesaid infant,
grown to great strapping fellow, big
enough to take his pa" down ut
u wrestle "square-hold," stands before
Il minister and promises to love, honor
and obey girl for all that is out and
the girl turns and calls the old gentle
man ''pa," then the smarty OF twenty
years ago begins to think that he is
getting old enough to turn out to
grass, and he looks at himself in the
mirror and says: 'those arc grey hairs,
sure enough, and tho clearing OH that
head indicates badness that is not
premature" l suppose man who has
eighteen sons getting married along
at intervals gets used to it and does
not notice it SO much, but my expert
cncc is that the first time man has u
son married il makes him feel about
ninety years old, with his teeth gone.
We'll the big kid is married, and may
God bless him and the little girl he
has chosen, and may they live happily
to SEQ little ones grow up around them
and fool around grand o gosh! l
can't write it. 1 can stand to be called
pa" by all the children in tho world,
but that grand word, it seems to me
would make me feel like vetran of
1912. The little Z ycar-old kid of the
family wanted to get married, too, but
he was talked out of it after while.
He thought he ought to have as
good show in tho ncccssaries Of life
rs his big brother, but finally com
promised on having tho mumps.
Mumps are bad enough ut home, when
ono can do his howling ut his family,
but to have ml,mps III Il great New
York hotel, whore everybody wonders
why You didn't wait till you got home
to have them, Is a bad scheme, but
tho little boss has promised that it
shall not occur again. -Pccks Sun.

RAILROAD MEETING.
Railroad Managers in Session at
ChicagO-Nothing of Import
anca Done

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The managing officials of
the railroad lines interested in the trans Missouri
business began assembling here this morning.
and went into secret session at II O'Clock. The
Union Pacific representatives will not arrive until
this afternoon, and consequently nothing definite
can be accomplished pending their arrival, and
it is not expected under the more favor
able conditions that any result can be
achieved in two or three days, owing to the pc
cuharly constructed nature of the questions to
be settled. The first TO be brought up for set
tlement is that Of the Colorado rate, which has
been disturbed ever since the formation of the
combination between the Union Pacific and the
Omaha roads to the exclusion of the Burlington
until within one week ago, when they were tenn
porarily restored TO swat the action of the pres
eut conference. For the proper maintenance of
the Colorado rates it is contended by
some managers that the pool will necessarily be
formed which will include all the Iowa lines
touching At Omaha, and the Union Pacific and all
southwestern lines. This was the opinion ex-
pressed by Roswell Miller OF the Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad in conversation with s. repre-
sentative OF the associated press this morning.
obstacles in the way The preliminary
conference lasted till 80 when IL ad-
iourned TO $3.50 to await the arrival Of the Union
Pacific representatives No action was taken.
The afternoon session was very brief and no
action taken owing 10 the absence of the repre-
sentatives Of the San Francisco and Atchison,
Topeka / Santa Fe roads. Mr. James NcNullep
vice president OF the Chicago & Alton road. was
elected permanent chairman. All Representatives
couversed with declare that nothing as to the
outcome can be safely declared at this stage.

to the front at last with sales up to 43%. Some
free selling during the last hour caused a weak
feeling, particularly in Northern Pacific pre-
ferred and Union Pacific. The latter was we'll
manipulated, and at about AT considerable stock
was marketed.
Nesbit Russell, of the West Shore, said at
meeting, to-day, that the company, since it had
been In the receivers hands, had earned oper-
ating expenses. The volume Of business had
been sufficient at last years rates to nearly earn
interest on the bonds. The bonds were put up
on this report,
Loaning rates were, New York Central 1-32,
Lake Shore, North Western. st. Paul, Western
Union, Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy and Union
Pacific, fiat to 1854 Lackawanna and Central Pa
cifc 1854.
The earnings of the Wabash for the fourth
week IN July show an increase of SIT, $50; those
of the Central Iowa decrease of 81, $50; of the
Alton decrease of S545 for the week and of
So,444 for the month. Louisville & Nashville
earnings for the fourth week in July show de-
crease of S25, SIS.
Vanderbilt said day or two ago he was bull
on Lake Shore, and thought this crop would en-
able the road to catch up. Commack says 1t
will take two or three crops. Nor
gan has sold about 10000 shares
ciic preferred. We hear that "a was bid last
nightto call $500, 600 gold at S1.O0H this year.
There is no manipulation in Gould stock outside
of Western Union, but it is looked for in Kansas
& Texas and may come any moment. Western
Union is very strong and the opinion is that
Gould is after certain parties who have been and
still largely short. 1t is also considered rel
atively cheaper than any other per cent. stock.
Insiders In st. Paul say there will be no war
of rates in the northwest this year.

The report of the special committee, Presi-

president and secretary to report at
the next meeting. The report was
favorable to such appointments and the plan
adopted by the states of New York and Wiscon-
sin was recommended. This plan is that each
assembly district shall be entitled to eight
normal scholars who are to be nineteen years
old or upwards. These are to be nominated by
county and city school superintendents, and
have to pass an examination by the officers of the
school which they are desirous of entering.

motion was adopted.
The following resolution by Director Simpson
was unanimously adopted.
Resolred, That the presidents and directors Of
the several normal schools submit to the presi-

sent to be incorporated In the report of the board

FLOWER AND HENDRICKS
interviewed at Saratoga By a Globe
Correspondent.
Both Confident Of Success and for Peace In
the Party.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.]

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Hon. R. P.
Flower, who visited Gov, Cleveland at Albany
yesterday paid Gov. Hendricks visit at the
Grand Union this morning. The gossips have
it that Mr. Flower bears the olive branch and
is trying to bring Tammany around to the ticket
When Mr. Flower was informed Of the reports
he replied: 81 am not authorized to speak for
Tammany, take no part in local politics. / can
say, however, that think Tammany will come
to the support of the regular nominees all right.
The prospects Of the ticket are growing brighter
every day, and believe we shall sweep New
York state.''
Mr. Flower admitted that he had been the
favorite candidate of Tammany Hall, but said
that his visits to the Democratic nominees were
purely of social and congratulatory nature.
He did not think that he would have time to
call on Mr.. Kelly as he intended to leave on the
p. M, train.
Close observers here say that trouble is brew
ing in the Democratic camp. Kelly is reported
to have issued his ultimatum. 1t is to the effect
that Tammany must have control of all New
York city offices, or the ticket will be bolted.
Cleveland and Manning are said to be inclined to
ignore Tammany and take their chances with
Kelly against them Hendricks is for concilia-
tion and with that end in view has had repeated
also wants peace in the camp.
Ex-Gov Hendricks talks of the prospects OF
the campaign with great freedom.
81 think that the ticket Is daily gaining
strength he said to the GLOBE correspondent
to-day. OF course there are little difficulties in
the state of New York, and some are of an IN
usual nature. The laboring classes are somewhat
dissatisfied. and some Of Kelly's friends are sore
but they are all Democrats, and they will be all
right before election day.
The ex-senator seems to be annoyed still about
the Buffalo scandal. Without being questioned
on the the subject he said: "As to the Buffalo
scandal, think it is a disgrace for any man to
utter It, 1t can do no harm to Clevelund. The
purposes for which it was published will be de-
feated 1t will add strength rather than weakness
to Cleveland's canvass. Right-thinking men
deprecate the dragging in Of such matters into a
political contest A candidate should be judged
by his public record, and Cleveland's record
stands high as a reformer and man Of great
administrative SKILL
Mr. Hendrick's S letter of acceptance is almost
completed 1t will be brief, and will
not NEEDLE much with political problems.
| 1t will follow somewhat the line of his
speech to the notification committee. 1t may be
issued on the same day that Cleveland's letter is
published. The letters of Tilden and Hendricks
were promulgated simultaneously, and Mr.. Hen
bricks does not believe in unnecessary delay
He wants the matter out Of the way, SO that he
can begin the more solid work Of the campaign.
He will probably leave for New York to-mor-
row.
