alliance in Kansas is as enthusiastic as
it was last fall and that the farmers
hold the key TO business and political
situation of the state. The city of
Salina was beseiged with members of
the order and at 10 o'clock not less
than 10000 Of them had gathered
about the city. Every rOad leading to
the city was filed with wagons, bug
gies and horsemen. At that hour the
procession was formed and it moved
through the main street of the city TO
the fair grounds. While the demon
stration was in progress President
McGrath was delivering his annual
address. 1t was in accord with his oft
repeated declarations that the alliance
must preserve a business organization
intact; that TO enter politics as an
organization is to impair its useful
ness. He urged the speedy adoption
of both local aud general co-opera-
tive system. He hoped that all jeal-
ousies and political differences would
be laid aside and united support be
given TO those in charge of the business
affairs of the body. He stated that
during. the past year 249 sub-alliances
have been formed. The committee on
credentials reported and asked if
delegates from counties behind with
their dues should be seated. 1t was,

Jerry Simpson was the favorite with

How the Ohio Republican Campaign
Fund Is Being Raised.

DENVER, Col, Oct. ga special
to the News from Columbus, o., says:
Chairman Neal of the democratic state
committee, has secured possession of a
subscription list of contributions to the
republican campaign fund in Ohio,
made by protected concerns at Pitts
burg. The firm names of twenty
seven iron working companies are on

We have received a large number Of re-

February -, 1853, there was another
similar entry. He was then at kinston,

October 81, 1863, he was reported under
arrest, but no explanation Il made as to
charges, or the disposition made OF them.
August 81, 1854, he appears on the rolls as
a second lieutenant.
December, 1864, he is reported absent on

February 4, 1855, his resignation was ac-

In the confederate adjutant and inspector
generals record there appears ne special
assignments TO Polk.

The New York Press, one of the
staunchest republican papers in the
land in recent issue published II two
column history of President Polk;
speaks of him as an old rebel soldier,
who, after the war returned home and
took mp the battle of life, had fnan-
cial difficulty years ago, paid every
dollar of indebtedness, and started
anew with varying success. He is a
prominent member of the Baptist
church. and is considered a first class
man. The Toledo Blade in answer
to an inquiry b. a subscriber, tells
substantially the same story. Neither
of these papers mention his cOnnec-
ton with the Salisbury prison. The
Tribune report should forever settle
these stories.

Precocious Infants.

Professor Henry L. Chapman's speech
at the Bowdoin commencement dinner
was model for after dinner orators. In
telling of the deeds of the class Of '66
he spoke of the remarkable precocity of
one member, George William Kelley, of
Portland, of whom the following is re-
corded in Cleveland and Packard's His
tory Of Bowdoin college: George Viii
liam Kelley was born in Portland, No
vember, 1874 He at once entered on a
theological course Of study in Bangor
seminary" etc. The only case Of pre-
cocity approaching this, he said, was in
the class of '53, one member of which
was Ephraim G. Cummings, of whom
the same history records: "Ephraim
Chamberlain Cummings was born in
Albany, 1926. His first year was spent
in teaching in the academy at Bucks
port" etc. OF the two cases Professor
Chapman held that the class of '66 led,
as it was evidently more precocious
thing to study theology in Bangor than
to teach in Bucksport.-Lewiston Jour

Young Tallexrand,s Engagement.

The engagement of the youthful Comte
de Talleyrand Perigord to Mile. de Ro-
han Chabot, daughter of the Prince and
Princess de Leon, has raised the ques-
ton in aristocratic Paris as to the most
fitting age at which young men and
maidens should enter the holy state of
matrimony. The French aristocracy, it
appears, is divided on the matter.
The Duo de Broglie was twenty-four
when he married, the Due de Fezensac
only twenty-five, but Prince Alphonse
was thirty-seven and Prince Ludovic
forty-seven when they quilted the ranks
Of the bachelors. On the whole, how
ever, it seems that the average age at
which the inhabitants of the Faubourg
Saint German marry is twenty-six;
that of the ladies of the same quarter is
not given, probably on the principle that
"a woman on her wedding is exactly the
age she looks. Pail Mall Gazette.

The Bridegroom Was clustered.
On Wednesday evening a young man
with a pretty woman on his arm, entered
the Hotel Boyer.
At the door they parted, she remain
ing in the vestibule, where her rustic
beauty caused sensation, while he went
up to the desk and registered. He was
evidently nervous, for he nearly put the
wrong end of the pen in the ink, and
finally wrote: Mr.. and Mrs. Blank and
wife, and forgot to set down the place
he came from. The clerk, however, was
used to such vagaries, and assigned the
newly married couple to room.
The bridegroom taking the key, still
in state of husterment, forgot all about
the bride he had left upon the threshold
and hurried off up stairs When he
reached the room of course he remem-
bered his life partner, and returned
headlong to the Office to find her. But
in the meanwhile the clerk had observed
Mrs. Blanks plight and sent bellboy
to take her to her room. So when the
bridegroom landed in the lobby he found
no trace of his better half, and his con-
sternation was indescribable.
By this time good many people about
the lobby had got wind of the singular
comedy that was being played, and bets
were being offered as to whether the
bridegroom would throw himself into
the Allegheny or call for the police.
Before any such tragic ending to the
drama could take place, however, the
clerk informed the husband where his
wife was, and reunion Of most affect
ing nature was soon brought about in
the ecorridor above.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

His Nose Cut OF by a Barber.

Letter Carrier g. w. Yost went into a
Western Addition barber shop to get
shaved. His face was lathered and the
barber was strapping the razor on strap
affixed to the chair in which Mr.. Yost
reclined. Suddenly, by some unaccount-
able slip of the BARRIERS arm, the razor
flashed by Yost's face and severed his
nose completely. The poor young man
will be disfigured for life, and when he
saw his nose lying on the floor he first
wept and then tainted from loss of
blood. Of course the barber apologized.

Another Smoke Consumer.

Mr.. Edison J. Hadlock, of Big Springs,
Tex, has just patented an invention for
arresting all sparks on locomotives and
consuming all smoke that well informed
railroad men say must undoubtedly soon
come into general use. 1t entirely does
away with the ordinary smokestack of
the locomotive. The smoke and sparks,
after arising in pipe few feet above
the boiler, curve downward through
double pipes and pass back into the fur
mace, where everything is reconsumed.
There can be no danger Of fire from a
locomotive thus arranged, and it is
claimed that this reconsumption makes
a great saving of fuel. It also largely
improves the draft on the furnace
