Okanogan Smith was member of the
last state legislature of Washington He
is speaker of great eloquence, and is an
uncompromising democrat. When he is
not engaged in political contests he is
generally hunting cOntraband Cinnamon
he has captured so many Celestials,
traudulently entering this country that
he has built stout log cabin to confine

British Columbia line, and is known as

CANINE MAIL CARRIER.
One of the most valued attendants at
the little postoff1ce mentioned in the dis
patch is a big St. Bernard dog, who car
ries the mail three miles across the noun
tains from Smiths to the place from
which Ellensburgh stage leaves. A
special mail sack is strapped on his back,
and each morning he sets out regularly
upon his journey across the trail, where
none but the most hardy mountaineer
dares pass. If the mail is sent around.
as it sometimes is, by a messenger, the
distance is about ten miles but the canine
is most faithful servant of Uncle
sam, and has repeatedly carried a mail
sack containing a large sum of money
across the mountain. On such occasions
he is watched until nearly to his destina-
tion by OkanOgan Smith, who has long
range rifle in his hand, and it would be al
most certain death to any one who would
molest the dog. The animal is entirely
capable of defending the mail sack him
self, and this, together with the fact that
his master is known to be an expert
marksman, has prevented any one from
attempting to rob the mail The
big st. Bernard is worth about $500 a
year to his owner.

are faultless in style and are worn with
such grace that, while they perfectly as

Miss PETER is the daughter of the pop
ulist senator from Kentucky. Her father
has taken a prominent place in the Sen
ate chamber. Although the daughter is
comparatively newcomer, there is no
doubt that she will find her place in the
social world.
Miss PETER is the oldest white native of
Fredonia, Kan. which argues for the
youth of that fourishing town rather
than for the age of Miss PETER. 1t was
only her child life that was passed in the
infant town, for the family moved later
to Coffeyville, where the elements of her
education were acquired and subse
quently Topeka was their home.
There are rumors of a romance in the
distant prairie land, but it must needs be
worthy knight that can win the lady.
She has established a high ideal and de-
clares that until she finds one whom she
considers the equal of her adOred father
she shall not change her name.

Joyous chimes of wedding bells ring out
from one years end to another, almost

MANY IN WASHINGTON.
In Washington this sort of work is
more generally done by women than in
New York. There the social duties are so
onerous that it is a sine qua non that all
society women should have secretaries.
II is said in many cases it is an absolute
necessity that there should be a lady
well versed in social codes TO direct the
working of the necessary notes.
There is a story which is often quoted
of nOveau richie who engaged as private
secretary quite a swell woman who was
suddenly forced to earn her own living
The first order given was that letter of
coincidence should be written. The secre-
tary, somewhat abashed, asked if there
was anything particular to be said.
"Well, no just tell EN- I'm awful sorry
the corpse couldn't have waited until
after my reception before she calterlated
to die"
The bewildered secretary decided it was
best TO follow out her own ideas as to the
proper style of letter of coincidence, and
the result was highly satisfactory.
MISS HUNT IS WELL KNOWN.
The most widely known private secre-
tary is. perhaps, Miss Hunt, who has been
for some years with Mrs. Levi p. Morton
Miss Hunt is a woman of rare ability,
who has enjoyed exceptional social ad-
vantages, and whose marvellous tact. no
less than her great ability, has won her
the well deserved praise so constantly be-
slowed upon her.

childhood days were pretty evenly dis

CALLS EUCHRE GAMBLING.

Judge Moon, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, in his Charge to the Grand
Jury last week created sensation
by declaring that progressive euchre
is gambling. He said; "Not only
is gambling carried on in regular
gambling resorts, but people of high
standing and responsibility gamble.
Theymay not put down money, but
they set the example for others in
playing for prizes and awards, IN
these progressive euchre games these
persons play for fine pictures or gold
headed canes. Examples are set
that are violation of the law, and
it is Just as demoralizing as common
gambling. The conviction of one
man of the higher class is better, as
an example, than the conviction of
only ordinary people for common
gambling" Society people are ex.
cited over the attitude taken by the
Judge.

ONE WAY.

1t is generally conceded by all
political parties Republican, Dem
ocratic and Populist-taar gold and
silver and paper money should be
kept on parity. 1t has become a
truism that the money supply is in
adequate to DO the increasing BUSH
ness of the great growth otthe United
States in population, in agricultural
products, mining and manufacturing
enterprises. The Democratic and
Populist parties say they would De
satisfied with the amount of money
issued and coined to $50 per capita.
Where there are radical differ,
ences of option some in favor and
others opposed to unlimited" free
coinage of silver-compromises and
concessions have to De made in
order to obtain the greatest good
and secure the relief needed. What
the people want is more money.
Then in order to secure this fifty
dollars per capita of circulating me
dunn, why cannot Congress agree to
issue paper money to the full
amount of Bonds deposited by Ma
tional Banks, continue to coin gold
bullion free, and then enact law
to coin silver tree until the fifty dol.
lars per capita is reached ? Then
let the coinage cease, until it is as
certained by the next census what
the population in the United States
is, then leUit be imperative upon the
Secretary Of the Treasury to COM
pute the per capita and bring up
the deficiency by coinage of both
metals to the capita of $50 as the
census may show the population to
be. This done, then wait until the
next census, when the same opera
ton be gone through with again,
Then in conjunction with this
legislation, let the ten per cent tax
on State banks be repealed; and a
law be passed authorizing State
banks to issue money to certain
per cent, backed by the deposit
with the State treasurer, county
and municipal bonds or United
States bonds, with such other safe
guards as will make the currency
unquestioned as to stability and
solvency. This would give a local
currency that the money centres,
like Wall street, could not manipu-
late by contraction or congestion,
and meet every monetary demand.
1t would be carrying out the
democratic pledges and reunite our
people and bring peace and pros
perity, and would crown Cleveland's
administration with unfading lau-
rels.
