A Novel Compromise.

During cold days in California" said
Col. Ingersoll to a crowd of lawyers the
other day, "It was the law that the
holder of the claim should be liable to
lose it if he let it remain idle for ten
days in succession. Well, there was
one fellow who had been working faith
fully. when he fell sick and had to take
to his tent. Another fellow came along
and jumped his claim. The first man
pleaded and argued, but the other was
not to be moved. So when the first
man recovered he sued the interloper.
"The case came up before the justice.
He was very sorry, he told the plaintiff.
but the law was absolute on the ques-
ton, and the defendant could not be
ousted. No sooner had he finished
than the plaintiff jumped up and nit
the defendant a singing blow behind the

An Old Time Partisan.

1t is easy to recall to mind his familiar
Inquire as he sits, during winter evenings, IN
his favorite corner.
In his easy chair, with pipe in hand and
his silver-rimmed "specs" pushed back
until they find a soft resting place on his
beloved snow-white head, with eyes spark
ling and his face beaming with pleasure as
he calls back old memories of days long
gone by, he is likely to talk something after
this fashion:

they were short enough. | was then as
spruce and pert as any chap Whereabouts.
"Oh, but we boys were boys! Things
have changed a heap since those days.
Boys then didn't take much stock in stylish
clothes, and they didn't carry canes like
they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut
much caper then, but it was good lard sense
and work.
The boy who could do the biggest day.

Il didn't think anything of going thirty
mile or more to see your grandmother, and
we didn't have very good roads, either, but
generally had to follow some old Indian
trail.
"Talkin' about sickness, then there was
no sickness like now. If we had a cold, a
pain, or anything, there was the best medi-
cine in the world found in any log cabin
home you came across. Why, | remember
that my old grandmother, God bless her
soul, she's been dead these fifty years or
more, could make the best homemade
medicine for miles around. Her 'sarsapa-
rilly couldn't be beat. Come to think, |

is making this same old log cabin medicine,
under the name of Warmers Log Cabin

can buy those good old home cures at the
druggists nowadays.

America Ahead.
From the kingston Free

From the Kingston freeman.
An Italian with a large da~ncing-hear
YVES soliciting pennies from q crowd of
people who had collected on the street.
A man, evidently from the country,
drove up with his wife in a wagon. The
countryman gave the Italian five cents
to "see the bear Dance" The foreigner
took the money, but refused to make
the bear dance until he had received
another nickel. This angered the
farmer. He jumped from his wagon
and told the man he must either make
the bear dance or pay backt the five cents.
The Italian refused to do either, and
made a movement siftod draw something
from his pocket. The farmer struck
the bear-tamer a blow between his eyes
which knocked him down. When the
Italian regained his feet he pulled the
muZZle from the BEARS mouth, and told
the bear in the language of sunny Italy
to Ego for him." The bear sprang at
the man as il to hug him, but the
farmer coolly took bruin by the throat
with such a grip that the animal gasped
for breath, and became quite cowed,
SO that when the farmer loosened his
hold the bear ran back shaking his
head. The farmer quietly took his seat
in the wagon and drove off. His
wife had looked on the whole proceed.
ing seemingly amused over the affair,
having full faith hat her husband could
whip both man and bear.

and the judge made good the loss by
getting q couple out OF his own pocket,
and the two friends settled down for a

ANOTHER ROAD GUBBLED.
Another Tourist Service Haul By
Pullman.

Another Tourist Service Haul by
Pullman.
Pullman has made another haul, an
official private dispatch having
been received in the city yester-
day, stating that he had gained
control of the tourist business ON
the Southern Pacific. This means the
retirement from the traffic of Mr.. Eli
Denison, who has for some time past been
operating the second-class cars, at
charge Of fifty cents per capita per diem.
The new deal shows conclusively that,
as was predicted IL these columns, Phil
man intends to gain control of all the
western railroads, and it was stated yes
terday that the contracts for the other
lines would be closed in few days. This
new deal gives Pullman control of every
line ri aching this city, the work having
already commenced on the Santa Fe.
The Atchison people announce that they
will run each day one through tourist
car without charge from San Diego to
Kansas City, and one from Los Angeles
to Chicago, thus giving Pullman two
tourist cars in addition to his frst-clasa
equipment on every overland train over
their road. As has been announced in
these columns, Pullmsn's second-class
rates are So to the Missouri River from
this city, and 81 to Chicago.

Democratic Caucus Primaries 90 ne
Held Tonight.
The Indifferent members of the Re-
publican party are betting on the sue
cess of the candidates for the nomina-
ton of Mayor. Several parties on Spring
street wagered 500 to $50 that Judge
Fitzgerald would get the nomination,
while an hour later General Mansfield
was the favorite. On Main street bet
of SIS to $40 was made that Hon. Henry
Hazard would be chosen was taken.
The opinion gained ground yesterday
that the chances were greatly in favor of
a dark horse, and the guesses as to who he
would be we're numerous. Outside the
Mayoralty nomination, the most inter-
esting topic was the censure which was
bestowed upon the City Central Com
mittee for its seeming inactivity, and
the probability that it has slate which is
expected to 60 through with rush. The
word was passed around to vote against
any slate that might put in an appear
ance, and it was an open secret that
several we're being carried around in the
'insiue pockets" of the Union League
members.
Tonight the caucus primaries of the
Democratic party will be held at the
places mentioned in another column.
There is no appearance of anything but
harmony, and they will all pass off very
quietly. The Convention will meet on
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
The City Central Committee of the
Prohibitionists will meet this evening at

Correction of a Correction.

For some reason the types in the local
columns of the HERALD seem intent on
making ducks and brakes of Mr.. Max
Lowenthal's political aspirations. First,
by some inexplicable mishap, he got into
the Friday morning issue as seeking q
nomination for police judge in the Re-
publican phalanx of ottice-seekers, and
as wishing to be the candidate for City
Attorney in the ranks OF the Democracy.
In correcting this error Of the mis-
chievious miserable types, he was put
in the proper ranks of the Democracy
where he belongs-for Max is true
blue Democrat, and is not ashamed of it.
But he was, by inference, made to be
seeking the position of Police Judge.
Max aims at persimmon far above
that huckelberry. and he has a right to
aim high. Mr.. Lowenthal's ambition is
to serve his fellow citizens as City
Attorney. He is able, henest, sober.
These are the Jeffersonian tests for
Office seekers. Max has them all, and
all we'll developed.

The race between the orange special
trains is over, the time made to the
Missouri being about the best on record
for freight traffic. The Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific train, which left here
on Wednesday night, reached Ogden in
fifty-six hours, and made the run from
that place to Omaha in forty hours,
being exactly four days from this city to
the Missouri river. The Santa Fe
special, which left San Bernardino at 80
A. M. on Friday last, pulled into Kansas
city at $3.50 O'Clock this morning, the
time for the run being four days and
three hours. AS regards the trip into
Chicago, each road claims that it can
make the trip from the Missouri River
in the fastest time, so it may be con-
sidered "stand.off" :" Two more
specials, one over each com mpeting route,
will leave the city on Wednesday, and
two more are announced for Saturday.

came dashing down Temple street at
full speed yesterday morning, to the
great CONSERVATION of passengers on that

to head the frightened equine off as he
reached the junction with Spring street,
but he eluded them all and crossing the
road at full gallop collided with horse
and buggy which was standing in front
of the First National Bank. He knocked
the waiting animal down and then took
to the sidewalk, when he slipped, and
before he could get away again was cap
tured and held in bondage for his owner
who arrived excitedly few minutes
