A certain girl We know of says
an exchange, found a package of
love letters written to her mother
by her father before they were
married. The daughter saw that
she could have a little sport, and
read them to her mother, pretend
ing that they were of late date
and substituting her name for that
of her mother, and that of fine
young man for that of her father.
The mother jumped up and down
in her chair, shifting her feet and
seemed terribly disguised and for.
babe her daughter having any
thing to do with the yonng man
who would write such sickening
and nonsensical stuff to a girl.
When the young lady handed the
letters to her mother to read, the
house became so still that one
could hear the grass growing in
the back yard.-MeridiOnal.

The public road laws of Louisi-
ana fall far short of meeting our
requirements, and not until they
are changed will we have a system
of public, thoroughfares that will
be adequate to the demands of the
people. Our roads are almost in
the rear of everything else in the
State and the road question merits
greater attention from the people
and their law makers than it has
yet received.-Crowley Signal.

In the congressional elections
this fall the populists may be ex-
pected to cut a decided figure.
The unsettled condition of business
and the wide spread disasters con-
tribute to their strength. Their
radical doctrines promise "a more
decisive change than their Demo
crat or Republican ascendancy
would secure and a change is al
ways attractive to the voter who
finds the existing states unprOfit-
able or oppressive. 1t must be
said in behalf of the POpulists, too
thai their representatives in con
gress have manifestly kept faith
with their party. Their vote has
been cast as unit bin favor of
every measure promising to tighten
or adjust the burden of taxation,
to remedy the injustice of mono
polistic currency, to abridge privil-
eyes, or to protect rights. For
these reasons it is fair to anticipate
decided Populist gains in the con-
gressiOnal elections in the coming
fall. 1t is to be hoped, too, that
their anticipations may be realized,
for the Populistst-barring few
of his extremer views-is in essen
tials a Democrat elected from Re-
publican district. He is a better
Democrat than most of the con-
gressmen elected ON the DemOcra-
tic ticket.-ChicagO Times, (Dem).

TO-DAY'S PRIMARIES.
THEY WILL BE HELD IN ELEVEN
COUNTIES,
And Will Decide Who Shall Represent the
Second District in the Next Congress-.
GuerrV May BE Elected.

And VIII Decide Who Shall Kepresent the
Second District in the Next Congress.
Guerrv May BE Elected.
Today will decide the race between
Judge J. H. Query and Congressman
Ben e. Russell, and the one who is sue
cessful at the polls will represent the
second district in the next congress.
There are fifteen Counties in the dis
trict, with total of 81 votes. Four of
them, Randolph, Quitman, Worth and
Miller counties, with s votes, have
already taken action. Of these Judge
Query carried Randolph and Quitman
aud Mr.. Russell Worth and Miller, giving
them four votes each.
The other eleven counties in the dis
trict will act today and end the cam
paicn, These are Terrell with votes,
CLAW with votes, Calhoun with votes,
Early with 2 votes. COlquitt with 2 votes,
Dougherty with votes, Baker with 2
votes, Mitchell with votes, Berrien with
2 votes. Thomas with votes and Deca-
tur with votes.
A fraction more than seventeen votes
will be necessary to nominate, and, while
thereis cOnSid ra5le doubt as to whatlwlll
be the result of today'S work, Judge
Guerry's friends are hopeful of his success
OF the counties that are to act today
they claim as certain for him Terrell, Clay,
Calhoun and Early counties with eight
votes, and concede to Mr.. Russell
Decatur, Dougherty, Mitchell and Ber-
rien counties with ten votes. With
the four counties that have already
acted these would give Judge Query II
votes and Mr.. Russell IA, leaving the
contest to be decided by the s votes of
Thomas, Bakerand Colquitt couties. In
these three counties the campaign has
been very spirited. Both sides claim
them, and while it is impossible to tell
how a majority of their votes will be cast
today. encouraging reports concern
ING Judge Guerry's candidacy come from
them, and, there will be no occasion for
surprise if at least two of them declare
for the Terrell statesman. Especially is
the news from Thomas and Colquitt
counties hopeful and their votes,
added to the II votes already conceded
to Judge Query, would insure his noml-
nation. Without Thomas and either
Baker or Colquitt | he can't win,
and Mr. Russell would be returned to
congress.
The campaign has been vigorously
waged by the two candidates ana IhelF
fri ends for Several weeks, and nothing
has been left undone by Judge Guerry's
opponents. Whether he captures the
prize today or notl he has made remark
able campaign whenthe very questionable
work that has been done against him in
some parts ofthe district, and the fact that
he has had to comba; the erroneous idea
that a congressman is entitled TO Sec
ond term whether he deserves it OF not,
is taken into consideration.

A STORY OF SUFFERING FROM THE
WEST. a1aH
Failure of Crops in Nebrask a--GoyerrOr
Petitioned to Order Special Legisla-
fInnn

tiOns
LINCOLN, NEB. Aug. 10.-A petition
has been presented to Gov. Crounse'E
Office urging that special session of the
legislature be called at once, to provide
some relief for the sufferers in the west
ern part of the state. 1t represents that
there has been almost complete failure
of crops west of McCook and North
Platte, and that whole families must
leave, have help, or starve.
The governor is asked TO at once CON
vene the legislature with the special
object of maturing plans for the con
struction of extensive irrigatiCn di ches,
the state to issue bonds or script in pay
ment. The governor is out of the city,
and it is probable that no action will be
taken unless greater pressure than ire
petition is brought TO bear
The crop failure is almost complete In
the extreme western part of the states
but there is some feed for stock, and cat
tie raising is again attracting attention.
In some cases help must be extended TO
prevent extreme suffering. In the east
ern part of the state the corn crop has
been seriously hurt, but it will not be =
failure. The drought continues, With
no prospect for rain.

REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST.

| often brood over the joys and pleasures,
Their reflection before my eyes cast,
The glorious dreams of hopeful youth.
The faded scenes of the happy past.
When with lovely maiden pure as a lily,
Life was charming, eternal bliss,
She set my famishingly soul afire.
And her heavenly sweet kiss.
Her brilliant eyes. her graceful MARBLE,
Shall forget it? O, never,
How we were longing for that happy day,
When our souls shall be united forever.
But our sweet hopes were suddenly shat
tered,
Through cruel parents stern objec-
tiOns.
Two young lives were rendered miserable,
And left us only Borrowing reflections
Ge cruel parents, devoid OF reason,
Pray, bear this in mind,
Cruelty to animals you would prevent,
To dumb bruteS you would be kind.
While through your vanity and caprice,
Your miSuSed power and directions.
You deprave your children of their happi-
ness,
To brood over sorrowful reflections.

AT THE ASYLUM.
A Light Man Calls There and Col
lects Some Interesting Data.


A LIGHT man called in at the
Southwestern asylum yesterday aud was
well satisfied with his visit The result,
which he proposes to give the reader later
in detail, was most satisfactory. Every
thing was clean, healthy and well or
dered; the patients looked happy and con-
tented, as far as could be expected, and in
a good condition. DIR. Barker, the super
intendent, is courteous, watchful and
kind and has good staff under him, and
all seem to act in a way that will make It
as pleasant as possible for the unfortun-
ates and to contribute to the return Of
their sanity il possible.
Mr.. Joe Lee Jameson, the boOkkeeper
and steward, kindly gave the LIGHT man
the following data:
Number of patients. Nov. l, 1898, data
of last report, males l0l, females 76; total
1T. Number of patients in asylum, May
4, 1894, males l29 females SO; total PIP.
The total number of patients received
since the opening of the asylum April 6,
1892, is 3l5.
Civilization in any country is shown
by the care Of the poor, sick, lame, blind,
insane and distressed, and in no country
on the face of the earth are the insane
better and more Skllfully treated than in
the Southwestern asylum on the environS
of the city. And one thing more can be
truly said, no asylum has a better, health
Ter and more convenient site than that
which Is here utilized for state asylum
purposes.

MOONLIGHT Picnic,

A large crowd of young people
took ride out to Corners grove,
Beanville, Saturday night, starting
from the Salter residence, North
Flores street. During the evening
dancing was INDUCED in, and the
return to the city was made by a
majority of the party about l
o'clock a. m. Owing to the selfish.
ness of number OF young men,
many of whom were strangers who
had como down on street cars to
the grove, a number of ladies were
compelled to walk to the city with
their escorts, because these young
men, not gentlemen, had captured
seats in the wagon and would not
give up to the ladies. Several
couples did not reach their homes
until or 4 o'clock, as the walk is
good, long one, and very tiresome.
The dance was given by Messrs.
George and Charles Salter, Jim
Taylor, n. Quasso and Eugene
Norris,
Among those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hellebrant,
