Last OF the Offices and Those
Who Want to Fill Them
Make up Your
Ticket.

Next Saturday viii tell the tale.
and at the same time sound the
death kneli, so to speak, of many
bright hopes that for months have
been conferred on some big tat of.
flee which the buoyant candidate
surmised was within his grasp.
Sunday morning he will awaken to
the sad reality that his fondest
hopes have decayed and that his
time and cash have been scattered
to the four winds, bringing no re-
turns. Weary days and restless
nights he has spent; the same can
be said of those with whom he
came in contact during his canvass.
The lucky man will chuck him.
self under the chin and say, "Well
done, old boy; you've made a gal
liant fight and won. Come, let's
take suthin'." Next Monday morn

man you'll meet. No, sir! He
shakes hands with nobody. His
hands are already raw and he
wants 'em to get we'll. He passes
by the little Insignificant defeated
candidate with head erect, and in
wardly says, 81 knew you wouldn't
be the choice of the people," But
in a short time everything will
gradually work back into the old
channel and the primary on the
oath will be a thing of the past.

BAD FREIGHT q


This morning at 6 o'clock there
was a fearful wreck ON the G. & A.
road, just west Of the depot. A
freight train drawn by engine No.
167 was taking water while another
freight train rounded the curve,
west of town, and came rapidly
down grade, crashing into the train
drawn by engine No. 1877, jamming
the cars together and breaking al
most all the draw heads, besides
smashing up the train to a consid-
cradle extent, while engine No.
ITO is wrecked badly. While in
this position another freight round
ed the curve and plunged into the
rear of No. ITO, deralling one car
and smashing up things generally.
The trains were all heavily loaded
with stock and grain. A large
quantity of corn was strewn all
along the road where the wreck
happened. Some OF the cars were
loaded with dressed meat. The
engineer of engine No. ITO, after
rounding the curve, saw the pre-
dicament they were in and he re-
versed his engine, but being so
near his effort proved futile, where
upon he and his fireman both
jumped to save their lives. There
were two stockmen asleep in the
caboose that was caught up by en-.
CINE No. ITO and the strangest
thing was, it never woke either
party up, although the caboose
was almost totally wrecked. Meth.
er one OF the men was hurt in the
least. The extent of the damage
sustained Is not known, but it is
safe to say it will reach tae thous.
ands, as one of the engines is
wrecked badly. The track is clear.
ed up and the wreck will not inter.
fere with traffic to any extent. When
the trains rushed into each Other
the crash was heard all over town.

soften the weight of its blow by energetic
efforts to employ himself in some new voca-
ton. When man who has spent ten years
in congress comes home with this love Of
political place for its notoriety and cheap
dignity, and finds that his old clients have

miserable indeed. He has cultivated NO
philosophy that is proof against loss Of
notoriety; and he cannot comprehend that
true happiness can be won and kept by the
comparatively obscure.
This is undoubtedly true presenta-

the pretty bauble still allures, and thou
sands Of ambitious men are at this pres
