Didn't Consult the Owner.

A lot of us were waiting at SYRIA
cuse for the train from Oswego, when
we noticed an old man and his SON

built like horse. Something seem,
ed to be troubling the boy, and by
and by the old man slipped around
and put us on. He said
'Bill has got a bile on his left leg

it two weeks, and I got him to town
to have it lanced. Como to get here,

A Station-Master Astonished.

An amusing incident lately occur
ed on Southernrailroad in England
in connection with the Duke of Nor
folk and the Marquis of Butte. The
Duke and the Marquis were fellow
travellers, and when the train stop
ped at Station a companion join
ed them in the person of the station
master himself, who was going for
aunt some tW enty miles further up
the line. The Duke and station-mas-
ter, who were both diminutive men
and therefore fond of talk, soon got
into conversation, while the Marquis
"a tall, robust man Was inclined to
be reticent, Until he found his friend
che Duke up to hissears in converse
ton, when he himself joined, address
ing most Of his conversation to the
stranger.
At length the train arrived at
B, and the Marquis bid a hearty
farewell to the Duke, and, with a
kindly adieu and a, shake Of the hand
from the stranger, the Marquis quit
ted the carriage, while his dispatch
box and wraps were secured, to the
surprise OF the station-master, by a
tall, powerful footman, and the train
soon glided again out of the station,
Silence was not, however, long main
tanned, the station-master breaking
out with the question; Il wonder
who that swell WASP s'That," re
piled his companion, twas the Mar
quis of Bute'' The answer seemed
to dumbfound the station-master for
a time, but presently he exclaimed:
$50 that were a Marquis, was he?
Well, now. [ do think it kind of him
to talk to two such snobby little
chaps as us, don't your The Duke
nodded his assent, and had good
laugh. When the train drew up
again his Grace affably bid his com
panion "Good-bye," and on alight-
ing on the platform, was received
with the greatest Difference by a num-
Der of Jesuit priests, this incident
again setting the station-maste the
task of inquiry, who inquisitively
asked brother official, "Who that
little bloke wasp :'That,'' replied
the guard, els the Duke of Norfolk"
The station-master, after this, de-
clared he would never travel first
class again as long as he lived.

A Cherokee Romance.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
On a prominent eminence in the
prairie overlooking the town OF
Tahlequah has been solitary grave
for sixteen years 1t contained the
remains of Mary Downing, the wife
of a full-blooded Cherokee chief,
Lewis Downing. At the time Of her
death the place was her home, and
it was her dying request that she
should be buried on the summit of
the hill Since then theproperty has
passed into strange hands, and the
grave has been in the midst Of a
corn field. The present owner,
gentleman from Georgia, hearing
she was a chiefs wife, thought it was
due her to rest in more sacred
place. So her remains were exhum-
ed and taken to the Tahlequah ceme-
terry. Her maiden name was Mary
Aver. She was born in Bethlehem,
Pa, was educated and accomplished,
and woman of wealth. She lad
romantic ideas, and her infatuation
for Indians was extreme.
In 1865 Chief Lewis Downing was
sent to Washington, D. c., on bust
ness for the Cherokees. Though a
full blood he spoke English quite
well. While at Washington he had
occasion to visit Bethlehem, and ac-
cidently met Miss Aver, who fell des-
perately in love with him. The chief
fingered longer in Bethlehem than
he had intended, not being able to
tear himself away from the charms
OF so fair lady, and ere his depart
ure had won her consent to be his
bride and share place in his wig
Wam- 1t was agreed between the
two that she could follow him to
the Territory and be married at
the capital. She required six months
to dispose of her property and con-
vert her valuables into cash. Chief
Downing returned to his nation, and
with him it proved ''out Of sight out
mind.' The ardor of his love soon
cooled and he wrote withdrawing his
engagement.
She after reading his letter, re-
marked that sit took two to make a
contract and two to break it, and
SO wrote him. Before this letter had
reached the chief he had married a
dusky maiden of his own tribe. Miss
Aver. having gotten everything in
readiness, started for the Territory.
According to contract, she arrived
at Tahlequah, and on hearing of his
marriage, made up her mind to
make her home among his people,
devoting her life to their advance
ment Years elapsed, and the chiefs
wife died. Miss Aver being yet SIM
gle, he renewed his VOWS and was
again accepted. They we're married,
and went to the home she had built.
The life she had long dreamed Of
was realized, but not long was she
permitted to fill his house with light
and love ere death claimed her. On
her deathbed she told the chief that
on the third evening after her death
she would return to him at her home
But he inheriting the superstition of
his race, closed the house after the
funeral and returned to his home,
about thirty miles distant, on Grand
River. 1t is said that on the third
night after her burial lights were
seen moving from window to win
dow, and the Indians believe to this
day that she reappeared on that
night. .-.@-

Stonewall Jackson's Death,

StoneWall Jackson's Death,
Historians always stop to de-
scribe the dying OF Wolfe and Mont
calm, the two opposing commanders
in the battle of Quebec. But their
deaths were simply heroic compar
ed with the christian death otStone-
wall Jackson.
About 1870 on the day of his
death he was told that he had about
two hours to live, and he answered
feebly but firmly: Every good; it is
all right"
A few moments before he died he
cried out in his delirium: "Order A.
P. Hill to prepare for action. Pass
the infantry to the front rapidly.
Tell Major Hawks - then stopped,
leaving the sentence unfinished
Presently a smile Of inefable
sweetness spread itself over his pale
face and then he said quietly and
with an expression Of relief: s'Let
us cross over the river and rest I'M
der the shade of the trees. !" And
then, without pain or the least
struggle, his spirit passed. Phila-

Catarrh in the Head

Originates in scrofulous taintin the blood. Hence
the proper method by which to cure catarrh, is
to purify the blood. Its many disagreeable symp-
toms, and the danger OF developing into bron-

are entirely removed by Hoods Sarsaparilla
which cures catarrh by purifying the blood: it
also tones up the system and greatly improves
the general health. Try the peculiar medicine"
For 20 years have been troubled with catarrh

never had faith in such medicines but concluded
to try q bottle OF Hoods Sarsaparila 1t did

have taken five bottles. My health has greatly
improved, and I feel like different woman"

Their State Convention Adopts Plat
form aud Nominates Governor.
LINCOLN {Neb J, July 29th.-The PEOPLES
Independent party of Nebraska met in
State Convention to-day, nearly nine hun
dred delegates from all over the State being
present. Farmers Alliance men and
Changers predominated, the remainder
being knights of Labor and union labor
men. A number of speeches were made,
including one by ex-United States Senator
Van Wyck. He announced himself as out
of politics and strictly for business. He
denounced both old parties for the part
they had taken in legislation for the past
twenty-five years, and declared that they
were controlled by Wall street, and said
the present movement was destined to
revolutionize the whole order of things
The platform demands that the financial
system shauld be reformed by the restora-
ton of silver 10 its cld-time place IN the
currency, its free and unlimited coinage on
an equality with gold and the increase of
the money circulation to the sum of S5S
per capita, all paper issues necessary to Sc
cure that amount to be made by the Gov
ernment alone and be q full Legal tender.
Land monopoly should be abolished, either
by the limitation of ownership or a grad
uated taxation of excessive holdings.
Alien ownership is prohibited. The rail
road system, as at present managed, is
system of spoliation and robbery, and its
enormous debt at fictitious vaiuations is
absorbing the substance of the people in
the interest o. IniilioaSires. The general
Government should own ard operate the
railroads and telegraphs, and furnish trans
pertauoa al cost. II demadss that the
Legislature enact freight law which shall
tix the rates no higher than those in Iowa
It demands reform OF the State and ma
tional system of taxation, including the
tariff. The adoption of the Australian
ballot system is demanded also that eight
hours shall constitute days work, except
for agricultural labor; that the soldiers
shall receive liberal service pension.
The platform further declares that the
machinery of the State has been con-
trolled by corporate power for plumber
of the people and the enrichment Of itself,
and we have entirely lost confidence in the
efficacy of that machinery of unjust laws.
We, therefore. give voice for call Of the
