STATE CONVENTION.
The State Convention Temporarily Or
ganized and an Adjournment Until
Tomorrow to be Taken-The Can
didates for Treasurer and Auditor
Numerous.

Topeka, Sept. 3.-Fully 1000 Re-
publicans from various portions of
the state are here to attend the con-
vention. Chairman Booth called
the convention to order at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon, when w. r. Smith
of AtchiSon was made temporary
chairman. COMMITTEES will be ap-
pointed and an adjournment taken
till tomorrow morning.
Considerable opposition developed
against Smith for temporary chair
man and Moore, of Butler, for per-
manent chairman. The leaders in
the fight are Senators Rush, of
Pawnee, Gillett, of Kingmau, VIC.
Edwards, of Pawnee and H. B. Kelley
of Mcpherson. They want F. B.
Dawes, of Clay Center, for temporary
and J. D. Milliken, of Mcpherson,
for permanent chairman. None Of
the candidates for auditor or trea-
surer will go into this and the OPP
position to Smith, of Atchison, is
anti-Ingalls. Such conservative
leaders as Bill Martindale laugh at it.
Last night and to-day crowds
surged in and out of the Copeland,
each candidate for auditor and
treasurer putting in his best licks.
c. NJ. Hovey, of Thomas, is gaining
strength and claims the biggest end
of the Sixth and Fifth congressional
district.
He will also have considerable
strength scattered over the state.
His nomination for auditor is not
improbable. Next to Hovey, NJ. L.
Richie, of Riley, will show the most
strength for auditor. He is Sacked
by Z. B. Purcell and other strong
workers who claim his nomination.
Nick Reitz has strength from South
east and Southern Kansas. Many
farmers are for him and will ask for
his nomination as amatter of fair
ness and justice. Other candidates
for treasurer and auditor are work.
ing hard. So far all have kept a.
loot from combinations.
The Sedgwick and Leavenworth
delegations are here but will vote to
make Governor Humphreys NOM
ination by reclamation. The
anti-Ingalls sentiment is very weak
and resolutions endorsing him will
go through with but little opposi-
ton.

Fifteen Thousand for One.

" ~
Chicago, ILL.,, Merchant Traveller, May 10.
Chicago is n lucky city any way you take
1t, and many of her residents are fayorites
of fortune. One of the highly favored ones
has Just captured a portion of the capital
prize in the Louisiana State Lottery. He
held n part of ticket No. 81. B03 in the ApriI
drawing emitting him to one-twentieth of
the capital prize, $500, 900, and c~onseouent-
~ is a winner to the extent of Sl5,W0. The
lucky man is a. s. Anderson, of No. 203
West Indiana Street. He sails the
lakes during the summer months
and works at his trade in the winter. He
is of Swedish extraction, but u citizen of
this country. Elated as Anderson is over
bis good fortune, he is sensible enough not
to allow his prosperity to change his
thrifty ways. As he put it to the reporter:
'If just use this money and don't make
any more l won't feel like working when
1T is all gone. l rave made no plans us yet,
but will determine in a little while what
is best to do.' Have l bought many
tickets! Oh, yes. buy often. like to
deavored to ootuin more definite informa-
ton, and in response to further ques-
lions Anderson and some friends
standing by unanimously declared
that tickets in The Louisiana
State Lottery were a mighty good invest
ment. Nearly nll of them had won some
thing Mt various times, and since Ander-
sons extreme good fortune his friends are
more enthusiastic in their praises of The
Louisiana State Lottery than ever before.
Anderson declares himself as particularly
pleased at the promptness with which his
ticket was casled. Within q week of The
day of the drawing he received a draft
through tile American Express company,
Of Chicago, on the Chicago National bank
which was honored by the bnnk immedi-
ately on presentation. Another twentieth
of 2i,:303 was held in Chicago, but the name
and address of the man who shares in the
the lucky turn of the wheel could not be
obtained,

TWO COPPER CENTS.
How They Fcand zach Other After Man,
Years.

We were minted the same day, in
1885. One of us bought a paper al.
most, as soon us we left the mint. The
other went into n rich young fellows
pocket 'for luck" he said. The young
fellow was on his way to Europe. The
cent that bought the paper bought q
cents worth of milk for the newsboy's
mother. Then the grocer paid it out
to an expressman, with some silver. II

For years the owner of the bar-room
keptit or thetable when he played cards
with his customers. He said it was his
lucky penny"
One night, late, a middle-aged man
came in begging. Without thinking,
its owner for fifteen years tossed it tc
the beggar with an oath. That was all
he got there. The cent went into his
pocket. He was poor. From thattime
he began to grow rich. The cent got
credit for his good luck. Though I'M.
fortunate itself, it had always brought
luck to others. 1t never left its last
owner. ] saw him grow from a pool
to "A rich man, and from a middle-aged
to an old miser. The more he got the
more he wanted. There was nothing
short of murder he would not do for
money. He robbed his best friends.
and they never knew it. He passed fol

per to his smooth, shining, and lucky
penny.
Well, the other penny stuck to the
young fellow on his way through Eu
rope. When he came back, after hap
Ply years of wandering, he had IL velvet
case made for the lucky cent. The
first day it left his pocket for the case
he was killed in runaway. Histhings
went to this Il and that. and the cent
was Shot at in ~ shooting gallery for a
number of years. No bullet ever

everybody wanted it. SO it was finally
sold for 50, and lost by the gambler
who bought it, and found by the miser.
and it went into the %latter's pocket
and found its twin after fifty-tive
years. Two nights ago the miscr
clloked to death on a piece of hard
bread. They came and placed him ii

WANTED TO EAT HIM.
But Sailor Skillings' Fatal Rifle Won tn,
Respect of the Savaxes.

ASAho WIN II
Respect of the Savage.
Harry s. Skillings, of Freeport, has
returned home after wandering since
1866.
He left Portland the day after the
great fire and shipped from Boston to
San Francisco, says a Portland (Me.)
special to the Boston Globe. From
there he went to the south seas and
when near Manila was wrecked.
Skillings and another man volun-
teered to swim ashore with q line.
They succeeded, after being dashed
about, in reaching shore and in saving
the rest of tho crew. He then served
on board an English vessel and wa in
several battles with Chinese pirates. He
then shipped for Sidney, stopped at
Pleasant island and changed for a ship
bound for New Zealand.
This craft proved to be a SLAYER and
Skillings gave 1t the slip and returned
to Pleasant island in the missionary
schooner John Wesley. Then he
shipded on a vessel that was short of
provisions and all aboard nearly starved.
Skillings at last made his home on
Greenwich island, among the cannibals.
They wanted to try the flavor of a
white man and Skillings was soon put
to it to a his life.
For two months he slept on his arms,
expecting every moment to have to
fight for his life. One day q fleet Of
thirty canoes hove in sight and a herd
of wild natives made an attempt to cap
ture him.
Skillings, whospeaks seven languages,
held a parley, and told them that if
they made tho attack he would kill all
he could with his rifles. He would die
fighting. The natives were afraid of
the mysterious rife.
Skillings set them all to work and
made each one contribute 400 c%ocoanuts
a day. They buried spears in the grass
as they worked in the field, and several
times attempted to kill him by str ategy,
as they do missionaries. Skillings
Filled two or three and was afterwards
respected.
He then went to Ponape, married. and
made $4,000. July /, 1877, tho natives
rose in rebellion and the massacre Of
Ponape followed.
He saved himself and sixteen others
by putting to sea, but nearly starved.
Skillings bought a schooner and went
back to Ponape, but the Spanish govern
ment would not allow him to land.
They drove him from another small
island which he had leased for ten
years.
After many adventures Skillings
went to San Francisco, where he had
sent his daughter to be educated, but
she was dead when he got there.
Then he concluded to return to
Maine, and was rather astonished to
find that he was the owner of a consid-
cradle fortune here. Mr.. Skillings pro-
poses to go back for his sons, and will
have them educated here.

THE MONT WATCH OF DEATH.

THE MONT WATCH OF DEATH.
Fearful was the night that followed that
hideous day. Burning, burning, burning;
burning and bloodshed everywhere. The
battle had become a massacre, the contlap-
ration q sea of fire. Never had been seen
such destruction. The public granaries on
the quay, the vast storehouses of Villette,
eight hundred burning houses, and as MANY
more newly set on fire, tie D'Orsay bar
racks, the Tuileries, the Palais Royal, the
Palace Of the Legion of Honor, the Court of
Archives, the Hotel de Vile, theatres,
manufactures, libraries, the Rue de Lille,
the Rue du Bac, blazing and falling into
ruin, made Paris seem one mighty brazier,
through which wound the Seine, like a river
OF molten brass. -.
During the earlier part Of the struggle the
regular troops had obeyed the orders Of their
leaders with calm submission, doing their
duty bravely in that worst of all combats-
street warfare. But as the conflict went on,
the sight Of those i..... ruins, the saw
agery Of the ms, gents, exasperated them,
and It was no loager possible to restrain
Their fury. Their hearts were hardened by

William McNickle. a farmer OF
Black Hawk, Pa, died eight weeks ago
and was buried in Highland cemetery.
He was married twice, and by his first
wife had three children, one of whom
is the wife of a Mr.. Sanderson, of HUI
ton, near P%ittsburg. When her father
died Mrs. %Sanderson, for some reason,
failed to get word of his death in time
to attend the funeral. She had pos
sessed no picture of her father, and de-
cided to get one. She came to Black
Hawk last Saturday, and that evening
had the body exhumed and a full length
view taken by a local photographer. The
body was found to be in an excellent
state of preservation and the features
almost entirely unchanged from their
appearance at the time of burial.

Electric Lights in England,

The use of electric lights is increasing
with great rapidity among the Lon.
don shopmen. A walk down the Strand
or Oxford street after dark will show
that every second or third store h.
now given up gas. which would have
been entirely superseded some time
ago if if it were nj SO cheap. Many
OF the other cities in England are now
using the arc light, and at Brighton it
Is almost universal.
