A PETITION.
TO the Honorable Members or the Levy
Cour t--Gent lemen

TO the Honorable Members OF the Levy
Court --Gentl enen
Inasmu CHI as the
county debt is exceedingly large and the
payment OF the heavy taxes burdens one to
a very large portion Of real estate own
ers we hunbly petition your honorable
body to reduce the cost OF maintaining
the prisoners in the New Cast Jail.
We believe the present allowance go
cents per diem3 is excessive and extor-
tionate and believe that 20 cents per
day would be ample to cover this cost.
We therefore respectfully petition your
honorable body not to exceed that amount
in fixing the allowance for the past
year.

FRANCIS E. WARREN. r. J. REYNOLDS.
J. F. WILLIS. JAMES z. BOYD.
nominated for governor by the Democrats,
was born in Smyrna, Kent county, on
March II, 1895 In telling the story of his
life the other day he remarked that he had
been told by his mother that he was born
in a snow storm Somehow or other" he
said, II have been in a storm ever since"
He began life as a farmer in 1860 on
what is known as the Golden Ridge"
farm. In the following year he married
Miss Lorenia Latchem. They have but
one child, Byron Reynolds. MIR. Reynolds
parents died in 1874, in which year he came
into possession Of the old homestead. 1t
contains about 400 acres of improved land,
most of which is kept in state of fine
cultivation. 1t includes a peach orchard
of 800 trees, an apple orchard of 500 trees
and pear orchard of 400 trees. So that it
will be seen he is quite fruit raiser. The
larger part of the farm, however, is de-
voted to the raising of grain.
Mr.. Reynolds has taken an active inter
est in politics ever since he became of age
He was elected member of the legislature
in 1868, and in 1879 was elected state treas
urer. Mr.. Reynolds has also taken live
" interest in the cause of education, and
for twenty years has been clerk of the
school district in which he resides. The
nomination of Mr. Reynolds is generally
looked on as a victory for ex-Secretary Of
State Bayard and it is said that his re-eec-
tiOn will be the first step toward bringing
Mr.. Bayard into national politics once
more.
J. 5. Hogg, the nordfnee of the Texas
Democrats for governor, Is at present at
torney general of the state, and is talked
of as a vice presidential possibility in 1892.
He is a keen eyed, heavily built man, in
the prime of life, and has large personal
following outside of political lines.
The man selected as the standard bearer
of the Nebraska Democrats is James E.
Boyd, a wealthy citizen OF Omaha He is
90 years old and a native of Ireland. He
became resident of Omaha thirty-four
years ago By trade he is a carpenter, but
he acquired his fortune chiefly as rail
way construction contractor. He has been
mayor of Omaha for two terms, and has
also held other places in the gift of the
Democratic party.
The Kansas farmers have chosen as
their nominee J. F. Willis, of jefferson
county. Mr.. Willis is native of Indiana
ana ID years OF age. FOR ire last twenty
seven years he has been a resident of Kan
sas. He left the Republican party in 1884,
identifying himself from that on with the
farmers movement.
The first Republican candidate for gov
ernor of the state of Wyoming is Francis
f. Warren, VINO was appointed governor
of the territory in 1885 by President Ar
thur. He was born at Hinsdele, Mass, in
1915, entered the northern army in 1862,
rose to the rank of captain, was mustered
out in 1865 and became resident of Wy
oming in 1868. He has been mayor of
Cheyenne and a member for several terms
of the territorial legislature.

a train in 1873 and there, on a recent dark
and stormy night n band OF masked des.
peradoes held up a passenger train and
secured the contents Of the strong box in

How the robbers got aboard Is not known,
but while steaming down grade AZ a fast

found themselves covered by revolvers in
the hands OF men who ordered them to
stop the train. They did so. and the raid on
the express car took place. But one man
climbed into the car tie made his mission

his greeting 20 Messenger Avery, and tha
latter obeyed without unnecessary DELAY.
The contents Of the safe were put in a bag.

right; so ahead" and he and his com pan
ions disappeared in the darkness. IL il
thought they secured between S20,oO0 aud

Jesse James, Jr., told a Kansas City re-
porter the other day that he regarded the
recent Missouri Pacific train robbery a.
the work of amateurs. Young James Is
now - years old, and n very bright and in
dustrious boy lie is said to know more
about the train robberies OF the past than
any one in the country. He can tell ths
time and place Of the principal hold ups"
and the names OF the participants In them.
He lives with his mother and is her chief
support.

A mill at a sma.l town in New York

beechwoOd. The logs. stripped OF bark,
are forced against cutting machine which
makes 400 revolutions minute. The thin
shavings are dried and put into hopper
which grinds them into -four. The -four Is
bagged and sent TO New York Says a
gentleman who visited the mill the other
day: a man told me there is pretty big
sale for the stuff He said that part OF it
was used as paper stock I'D IN the prepare
ton of hncrusJa walton That is the os-
tensible purpose for which it Is made, but
the workman told me that a good deal Of
the stuff went into the hanCs OF contract
ors for furnishing Indian rations, and that
considerable of it also went into the cheap
breads sold in the Italian and Hebrew dis
tricts in the lower part of New York city.

her adieu, when Bernhard rushed i'm
pulsively after her and exclaimed, "Ah,
mon Dieu, forgot a wreath of flowers,

And with this remarkable order the
visitor took her departure.
The bonnet, yet not bonnet" the

shall go to Paris with me and l shall

A few months later Bernhard kept
her word, paid all the expenses of the
woman who had thus served her, and on
arriving in France gave her such an in

Americans as insured her substantial
