Personnel OF the Meeting.

Some of the men from the East
obviously not accredited represent
atives of any large body of constituents,
were of the class of semi-scholarlv
enthusiasts, the sort of men who stand
ready to enlist in any reform which
uses a capital letter for it's initial The
rank and file, however, were, for the
most part, real workers. The type is
familiar to everyone who has passed
any time in the agricultural districts of
the West-the gaunt man with a heavily
bronzed and deeply lined face, long
neck and hair which, though brushed
and combed with much care, insists
upon being unruly in its mode of growth :;
struggling, unframed, and untrimmed
beard, thickest on the chin; hands, brown
and leather-like, with obtrusive knuck-
les and round, horny, deep-bedded fin
gernalls; clothing of uncertain fit and
faded in two or three shades. There
were not half-dozen "chimneypot"
hats worn in the whole assemblage
There were no gaudy waistscoats, no
flashing jewelry, such as dazzle the eyes
Of the spectator at an ordinary political
convention. There was not ''heeler"
to be recognized anywhere, and the
men who even bore the stamp of
professional politicians could have been
told Oft on the fingers of one hand
The great body of delegates were men
who got their early training under the
caves of one of the pioneer churches.
Their approval and satisfaction would
find voice in loud "Amen" or "Bless

it was very impressive to hear the

Did West Survive the Gibbet ?

Great excitement prevails in the
neighborhood Of Bentlesville, Washing
ton County, where William West, who
was hanged in this place on Feb. 26,
| 1891, for the murder of the Crouch fam
| lily, resided. The residents of Bentles-
! vile and the surrounding community
says they have seen William West since
Feb. 26, 1891, and at the present time
he is working on a farm about three
miles east of Bentlesville- They cay he
is looking we'll after experiencing such
long cOnfinementlnp prison and playing
the 'possum act on the sheriff and
hangman. In an interview with West
last week he stated as follows to an
Enquirer representatives:
Ever since [ was convicted of the
murder of the Crouch family l always
said / Would never die On the scatfold
and you see my prophecy came true.
The day on which [ was to be hanged /
| made an unsuccessful attempt to kill
myself by severing my jugular vein with
a rusty nail. You remember when
they attempted to hang me the first
time the rope broke and [ fell to the
ground. The only injuries [ received
IN that attempt were IN falling to the
ground. They then picked me up again
and put the moose around my neck, and
the trap was sprung. This time they
were more successful than the first, and !,
tell you what, | felt like a goner l
was soon cut down and pronounced
dead, dead by the physicians My
body was then handed over to my
relatives by the sheriff, and they carried
me home in coffin.
'That night they buried the coffin
with very appropriate ceremony while
[ was at home in bed. A doctor was
then Immediately called and stayed
up with me all night, and in the morn
ing told my relatives that I began to
show signs of life, and thought | would
pull through all right with careful
| attention. 1t was about a week before
l was able to leave my bed, and ever
since l was able to leave the house [
have been working on farm near
Bentlesville. / shall never forgive the
people who swore falsely against me,
and will have my vengeance on them
for the same"
Several of the witnesses who gave
damaging evidence against West have
received notices, decorated with cross
bones and skull, to leave the COM
munity at once or they will be severely
dealt with. The people who have
received these notices say they are
prepared to meet all corners, and will
make it warm for them. The officials
have not taken any steps in the matter
yet, but will no doubt do so.-C Cincinnati

Pharmaceutical Bicycles.

Pneumatic-tired bicycles are causing
the Eastern handicappers a vast amount
of trouble. F. P. Prial, the League of
American Wheelmen's official handi-
capper for the New York district SAYS:
I'm apportioning the handicaps this
year [ began by doing lot of theoriz-
ing, but the races at Berkeley Oval on
the 10th instant played havoc with some
OF my preconceived notions 1t is now
my opinion that the cycle Handicapped
has heavier task this year than the
Behring Sea Commission. [ penalized
pneumatic tires forty yards in a mile race
for safeties. Rain fell few hours be-
tore the event was started, and the
track became soft. The solid-tired
wheels ground into the yielding surface
and threw up clouds of wet cinders.
The cushioned tires acted almost as
badly; but the pneumatlcs rolled along
as Smoothly as quicksilver on silk, dis
posed Oh 175-yard penalty in a half
mile, and could easily have eaten up an
additional 100 yards. From the esti-
mate l now put upon the capabilities of
pneumatic tires" continued Mr.. Prial
IN answer TO a question about proper
penalties, Il should allot to solid tires,
on good three-lap half-mile or mile
trotting track, a start of so yards; on a
cinder track of four or more laps to the
mile | should allow 100 yards.'

and he then ran nimbly up his single
cord, which, [ found, although it was
scarcely perceptible, stretched taut
from the beam above to cross rail of
fancy work below.
The spider assembled about eighteen
inches above the fly, then quickly turned
head downward, taking hold of the line
with its forelegs, as a child would 81

ton the then struggling fly began to be
swung around something like a button

by both hands and rapidly turned by
circular motion. The speed was SO rap
id that by the time it had reached cir
cult of about four inches in diameter,
the fly could scarcely be discerned. In
about minute its operation ceased and
the fly was quiet
[ then found on examination that the
fly was still alive, and | felt moved to
try If [ could secure its freedom. TAX
ing it carefully from the web line-no
doubt to the disgust of the SPIDER

every leg was closely tied together in
the same manner as farmers formerly
tied the feet of calves together when
taking them to market in the bottom of
their wagons. Taking a needle I tried
to release the legs, but the work Of the
spider was too we'll done, and the fly

jim RalstOn in Real Life.

When the drama, "Jim the Pen
man." was riding the tide of success
the idea of such daring character be-
ing found in real life was secuted. That
a man with sufficient nerve successfully
to carry on schemes of forgery that
rival the acts of jim Ralston of the
mimic world existed and moved in real
life is shown by suit filed in the Hamil-
ton County, O., court of common pleas
this afternoon. The trial of the case
will raise number of legal questions of
great moment to the business COM
munity: The plaintiff in the case is
Luther NJ. Benson, president of Center
County, O. The defendants are the
Ohio Valley Bank of Cincinnati The
person charged with the commission of
a double forgery is Samuel p Vaughn,
who, until last October, resided on his
farm about six miles from Gallipolis.
He was a prominent citizen and ap-
parently prosperous farmer and country
merchant, and a sto :kholder in the
leading paper Of the county. He was
very popular with all classes, and his
word was worth 100 cents on the dollar.
He is now in Canada or Australia. He
disappeared mysteriously, and foul play
was suspected. Then it was suddenly
discovered that there were irregularities
in his business. This led to an investi
CATION, when it came out that he had
been forger on a wholesale plan. He
forged the name of his father and
brother, of his partner, of his neighbors
right and left, both male and female
He forged drafts, and even a deed.
Some sixty-fiye forged papers have
been found, aggregating probably
SIC, 600. The forgeries extend over sew
eral years.
He kept from discovery by paying in
terest promptly and occasionally paying
off small note or making payments on
larger ones. His crooked work was
first discovered in forged note for
81 900, purporting to be drawn by Mrs.
NJ. Y. Morton and her two daughters as
security. Benson's bank gave him a
draft on a CINCINNATI bank. Vaughn
forged the Endorsements and secured
the money, and the present suit is over
this draft Vaughn lost the money in
wheat speculations.- Chicago Timas.
