In a carefully prepared statement Of
the presidential situation as aft, cted by
the New York convention, Mr.. William
NJ. Springer says: The democracy of the
country are indebted to Senator Hill for
calling an early convention in the State of
New York, in order that between this
time and the meeting Of the national
convention next June there may lie ample
time to consder'th- availability of presi-
dental candidates without reference to
the possibility Of Mr.. Cleveland's candi-
dacy. 1t would have been unfortunate
indeed il the New York convention had
been cut off until after many states in
the Union had instructed their delega' es
to vote for MIR. Cleveland, and then at tina,
late day the party had been suddenly ap-
prsed of the tact that it must make
another sci ction."

barassed the champion that he replied
''the same to you sir" being so futtered

as usual she drew large audience. By 5
o'clock every seat in the spacious hall was

persons was enjoying the luxury Of stand
ing room. She was introduced by Mr..
LewelIen. the well known Alliance leader,
who very highly complimented the women
for their connection III ali ages to reform
movements, and put Mrs. Lease in the
same category with the world-renowned
Maid of Orleans. more commonly spoken
of as Joan dare.
Mrs. Lease was in excellent mood and
from an Alliance standpoint she made a
rafting good address. She spoke on the
three principal planks in the St. Louis
platform, aud as usual she used her sar-
castle powers to advantage. The audience
was with her from the start and every
point she made on the old parties was re-
ceived with thunderous applause. She
paid a very high compliment TO the people

audience when she predicted that the
Peoples party would carry the nation and
the state at the approaching election.

VERY LIVELY CORPSE.

E. P. Wright is back to Kansas once
more after spending two or three years in
the northern states. and is low spending a
few days at the Carey. Mr. Wright put in
his time during the boom at Caldwell and
it looked at one time rs il he was de-
termined to contest with Jay Gould for
the championship of making money. He
is great friend of Kansas and thinks it is
the garden spot of the universe. He is
particularly enamored of the Peerless
Princess, and was astonished at the life
and activity manifested here on every
hand, for he had heard up north that the
Peerless Princess was dead. but when he
saw it yesterday he volunteered the in
formation that it was the liveliest corpse
he had ever seen. Mr.. Wright will prob
ably make his home here and has his eye
on few pieces OF real estate which he will
probably be able to call his own before

COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION NOTES

Hanback, they stated that many of the
county organizations of Kansas women

the building has not yet been decided they
were unable to say just how many win
dows there will be to decorate, but hoped
the supply of windows would be equal to
the demand of the counties. They distinct

ing shall be ready for dedication by the

a ROMANCE.
How Two Claimants for One Lot ~ Il Reno
Settled DIFFICULTY,

| Settled Dificuty.
Councilman Billy Casweil OF this city,
who has been at III Reno for the past two
or three weeks. returned home yesterday
and brought with him a graphic account
Of the stampede that was caused in that
city Sunday morning when the news came
from Washington that the title Of Major
Foreman to the tract of land adjoining
Fl Reno was declared not valid By Secre-
tary Noble II lie said be never saw such
excitement as was demonstrated by the
people in the mad rush they made for
town lots in the piece OF land mentioned.
All Sunday night, he states, was put in
building foundations and doing such
other work as is usually required to hold
down lot according to the land laws.
One very romantic affair occurred
which IS worthy of special notice 4
young man and young woman, mistak-
ing or overlooking the lines, settled on
the same lot and it was valuable one.
They both held it down all Sunday, Sun
day night and Monday Each dared not
leave it, fearing that the other would
claim title to it by right of continued
possession. The man was the first to
show signs of weakening, for while the
shades of evening were falling on Mon
day he cautiously approached the end on
which the young woman was located and
opened negotiations with her. His
diplomacy was of no avail, and as a last
resort he stated that as both of them had
a claim on the lot, the very best thing
they could do was to get married
Int- hut oil n
jointly and legitimately With the native
nerve and pluck of an Oklahoma girl, she
accepted the proposition and compliment
ted the good sense of her contestant in the
happy means he devised of settling the
difficulty. He invited her TO accompany
him to the matrimonial mill to have the
knot tied, but she refused and insisted
that he was only trying to get her off the
lot so that he might get exclusive.possess-
ion of it. 'If you want to marry me and
own the lot, said she, you must bring
the preacher her and make me your wife
on this spot, otherwise | will stay in pos
session and claim my rights" He on the
other hand WAS afraid that If he left the
property TO go after the preacher that she
would take advantage Of his absence and
do exactly what she intimated that he
might sdo under similar circumstances.
The fact of the matter was that each was
honest in their matrimonial intentions
but in that primative country young peo-
have not as much confidence in one an
other as they usually have in other COM
munities. When Mr.. Casweil left third
parties were about to offer their services
TO get preacher on the disputed lot to
perform the ceremony and it is altogether
likely they are man and wife by this
time
