Bachelor Friends.

When a bachelor plunges into the pool of
matrimony he usually leaves behind him,
al a bather might leave his clothes on the
shore, his old habits and his old friend
ships. The angel that he has taken for Q
help meet looks upon the cronies of his celi-
bate days with suspicion. She aspires to
be the keeper Of his conscience, the sole d.
pository Of his secrets, and is unwilling to
let even q few stray beams of his affection
defect toward any outsider; insisting, the
dear monopolist, that they shall be all
localized upon herself.
If he loves her Of curse he yields, and
the friends Of his bachelorhood find him Q
changed man. They complain of this, per-
chance, but have they q right to do soi
What need has he Of any other social con-
fdant than his wifei The talk Of his late
companions may not be wholesome for ths
married ear; 1t is apt to be Of old firta-
tions and old time escapades. Young wives
know this by instinct, and they think that
such conversation Is not improving "a
young husbands.-Nsw York Ledger.

The Peoples Party.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 29.-The peoples
independent party Of Nebraska met in
state convention in this city to-day.
Nearly every county in the state is repre-
sented, and the gathering comprises over
800 delegates. OF these, members of the
Farmers Alliance predominant, with a
good following of the grange, the bal
ance of knights of Labor and union Ia
Dor adherents. An. attempt to adopt the
standing platform of the Farmers Al
lance proved a failure. The Knights of
Labor showed their hands and demanded
the insertion of a plank declaring for the
Australian ballot and the eight hour law.
After some debate this vas conceded.

and crouched together directly before
the approaching train. The engineer
saw them, but dare.not apply the brakes
too suddenly, as that course might have
sent the train through the bridge. It
was an awful moment. The people on
the banks of the river shouted to the
children to get between the tracks,
but their cries were of no avail.
In an instant the heavy locomotive
struck the group of little ones andhurled
three of them upon the other track, dead.
The engineer was almost overcome at the
appalling sight. He had strength left,
however, to stick to his post and stop the
train as 500 as it had crossed the tres
tie. The passengers left the cars to as
certain the cause of the stoppage of the
train, and strong men and women felt a
sickly feeling creeping over them as they
gazed on the remains of hethree slaugh-
tered children. Jennie Drews, aged 13;
Nellie Warren, aged 10, and Mamie War
rem, her sister, aged 8, were dashed to
death. Jane Warren, aged ID, was fright
fully injured, and Willie Warren was
hurled into the river where he was
found alive in about a foot Of water. The
Warren children all belonged to the same
family. The two injured children will
probably recover.

Hail storm at casselton.

CAssE1roN, N. d., July 3O.-The most
disastrous hail storm of the season swept
over the southern part Of this county
early this morning. There is q strip of
country about four miles wide and from
ten to twelve miles long on which crops
are entirely destroyed. Hail stones as
large as hens eggs were picked up at 9
o'clock this morning. All crops in that
section will be a total loss, but it is inn
possible at the present time to estimate
the damage accurately. Butfew farmers
in that section carry any insurance on
their crops.

resolution failed of the necessary two
thirds majority, but the vote was econ

ground that it was being rushed through

The messenger boy is no end of fun.
This individual was very tinyin body, but.
as you shall see, he was possessed Of alargs
mind and mighty valor. He was coming
along the pavement just as . big Norman
horse, driven in a coal cart, stumbled
and fell. Now, our messenger boy was
skilled in emergencies like this. He knsw
exactly what to do, and 20 he skipped
blithely out and sat him down upon the
horses head. The horse, from sheer force
of habit, gave q feeble answering whisk 70
his tail. Then he raised his head-perhaps
he only snortsd, one could not b quite
sure-but, at any rate, the tiny little i'll
low was blown OF into the air like . wisp
of hay and landed in the gutter ON ths
other side Of the street. And the gather
ing crowd was ignoble enough 70 laugh,
while q very big policeman came ont Of the
throng and sat assuredly on the horss'si
head.-New York Evening Sun.

a Disastrous CONFEDERATION.

inevitable has occurred. The Pew build

or more years ago, such earnest protest
was, made, fulfilled its mission as a fire.
trap this morning. A few minutes after
8 o'clock this morning, the building,
which was directly opposite the Hoage
opera house on Fall street, was discov.
cred to be burning in Sutherland &
Sqnires' restaurant. In q few minutes
the entire structure was on fire. At 2
O'Clock the fairest commercial portion of
the town was in ashes or in flames. The
Pew building was ~approachable from but
one side, and the atmosphere quickly be-
came so hot the firemen could not en-
dure it. The splendid Phoenix block, in
volving the electric light plant, electric
railway plant, postofice, express office,
Reveille printing establishment. Sander
sons furniture warerooms and the West
ern Union telegraph Office succumbed to
the flames, and within four hours fifteen
stores east of it to the Sheldon block
were ruined. The flames sprang across
the street to Hoag's opera house before
an hour had passed and that was con
sumed, with all of Falls street on that
side east to the Sheldon block, while on
the north side the Cooperative block
was the limit. On State street the flames
extended to and including Kellogg's liv-
cry stables, but all of his stock
wal saved. In State street the fire
Tapped up the Hudson house and black
smith shop; Georges barber shop,
Faresses store, the Norcott building, in
Guiding Comber's liquor store, Halls
cigar factory, Hannas second hand store,
Chinese laundry, Demson's shoe store;
Kellogg's livery stable and two rear
houses next thereto, where the fire is
now limited. All three newspapers are
burned out and the telephone service is
suspended. The Western Union COM
pany is doing business at the railroad
station. An area of nearly three acres
was burned over and many Of the best
business buildings in the village were
wiped out. A careful estimate by insur-
ance men and others place the loss at
between 100000 and 100000.

johnson Burke, Allin.

GRAND Forks, July 30.-[Special.]E
1t is seldom a temporary organization of
a political convention effected by a SUBJ
stantial majority is overturned by the
permanent organization, but that was the
surprise in store for the Hansbrough
forces tonight. They voted to adopt the
report of the committee on credentials by
a vote of 141 to 115. The report of the
committee on rules and procedure
placed the nomination Of governor ahead
of congressman. This plan was ap-
proved by the johnson men and after q
fierce parliamentary struggle the John
son men succeeded in reversing the Or
der by a small majority, following this
up by voting down the mo-
tions to adjourn and finally
by voting 1915 to. 1887 for johnson for
congress. On the roll call 149 wal nec-
essary to a choice. johnson got 154.
There we're rapid changes after that until
the number run up to 1915. The half
vote was caused by the fact Of the adj
mission Of both delegations from Ram
say with a half vote each. II was an un-
expected result for the Hansbrough
forces, as they went into the
hall confident Of success Captain
Burke Of Cass county was nomi-
mated for governor BY acclama-
ton, and Roger Allin's nomination for
lieutenant governor was made the same
way, and the convention adjourned.
There Is great satisfaction over the re-
suit, as II is believed to be'the strongest
ticket that could have been nominated.
Many Of Hansbrough's warm friends
votedsfor johnson, because they feared
the dissatisfaction in the party could
not be healed with Hanbrough.
