Singular and Weird Experience off Union
 Pacific Engineer.

&NihS
 ? Did you ever hear of phantom lo- comotivePo inquired one of the oldstiros Union Pacific engineers of a number et his associates who were relating thair experiences and hairbreadth escapAsA \ few days ago. All the men, who. Hays grown gray at the throttle, adrnittSd this was a new one on them, and tih old-tirner pRoeeeded
 Back in the i70s the Union Pacific ran an engine called the pusher' on the west si6e of Aherman hill to assist the trains up between Laramie and fhS summit, After helping train up kbe hill the engine would be run back Go Laramie
 T was in charge of an engine pull sQg the regular passenger train up the hill one gray morning Just as we neared the snowshed that used to stand at Harney siding an engine sud' denly popped out in front of us Be- fore I had time to even get square look at her she disappeared in the shed and was lost to view. The whole thing happened so suddenly that was dumb. founded, but l was positive had seen an engine, and so was my fireman. I at once shut off and the train came to standstil1. The conductor came over and asked what was the matter Bill, ' said l, I just saw an engine pop out of that snowshed and just as suddenly disappear again.
 "'Are you positive?' said the knight of the punch, and he peered up the &1.no o1y n1 [ I gTfT. I.o, better move on, anyhow, and if you see one it will probably keep out of our way
 ''So we proceeded up the hill, keep ing careful watch for the mysterious engine which made my heart jump into my throat as she emerged from that snowshed. The siding was reached, but there was no sign of an engine threatening us with a head-end col1i- sion. The trainmen laughed at me and said | must have seen spirit. Had it not been for the fact that my fireman sided with me don't know but that I should have given up and admitted I was mistaken.
 IA caTSful watch failed to reveal any sign of the stray engine, and when we stopped at Sherman all the train men had hearty laugh at my expense. But was still positive and insisted on making hunt, and we found an en- zine hid away in the little roundhouse located at that point
 'The engineer was d man named Jordan. He bad overlooked new time card and had started to take his engine back to Laramie after helping a freight up to the summit He could see the headlight of our engine before he emerged from the snowshed. This accounted for his sudden disappear ance. His engine was almost stopped when he came out, and it did not take' long to get to aoing back up the hill again at lively rate. The engineer thought we did not see him and he would just hide in the roundhouse at Sherman and no one would be tho wise for his escapade.
 I've did not report him, but the off, cials learned of the incident in some manner and his head went into the basket, ,"-Chicapo Times

 Our Want Column.

A few days ago Mr. Will Riley ad- vertised a COW and calf for sa le in the DAILY GRAPHIC's Want Column He has been amply repaid for his small investment by promptly flnd- ing q ready purchaser, in addition to which MT. Riley says that he has had at least dozen other inquiries. As another evidence of the efficiency of our "Cheap Column" we desire to mention that a few days ago another party advertised at a cost of p cents to rent q ten-roomed house. and he has been rewarded for his investment by finding more houses of that de seription vacant than he could pos sibly occupy. We cite these two in stances. out of many, to show the efficiency of this column. Atthe rate of three lines six times for 9 cents everybody can use the want column for every purpose, and it is much cheaper to advertise for what you want than to rHn around and inquire about it. The GRAPHIC $ want column fills a long felt want in this community, and ifyou want anything or have house to rent, advertise it.

 Fully an hour before the time set fol the convention to convene, which was at 10 o'clock, the crowd began to gather and before Chairman Hamby rapped for order every avilab1e scat was occupied and standing room scarce.
 People continued to pour in and half an hour after business was proceeded with the doors were jammed and many standing around the building unable to secure entrance.
 The first business that came before the convention was letter from Judge Reagan which was read, stating that hs

NOT ALL ATHLETES DIE YOUNG

The Notion That Excessive Exertion Brings
 an Untinaely Grave Is Mistake.
 Ut is mistaken idea people have that athletes die young,'' said Dr. George Bailey, of Philadelphia. 1t is high time that the conventional opinion of certain medical men and of some ed ucators on the subject should be set aside, and that all the many sports should be encouraged and fostered in order to promote physical development Athletes, as class, are not short lived On the contrary, many who have led sober and regular lives have attained extreme old age.
 Ut is hardly necessary to refer to history to establish this fact, but as an illustration, did not Socrates, who at the age of sixty, an age when officers of the army and navy are retired, serve as hoplite in the Peloponnesian war? Though covered with heavy armor, he took upon his shoulders wounded man, whom he carried into camp while being pursued by the enemy. We have numerous instances of athletes who have not become stale. Many persons have heard of old Gabe RaveI, who, at the advanced age of seventy, turned a back somersault
 ''Circus men are not only healthy, but are long lived The celebrated London clown, Joe Wallet, who has reached seventy-fve years, is as lively and active as he was forty years pre- vious.
 "A few years since the sporting papers recorded the death of Owen Swift, whose extraordinary career as a prize fighter may be seen in the musty old files of fifty years ago. Some time since the death of Bendigo, who passed from the prize ring to the pulpit, was reported at sixty-eight years, and dur ing the last five years two other noted pugilists have died at a ripe old age.
 "A few years since, in London, 1 was walking in the street with the seere. tary of one of the sporting clubs of that city, who was talking to me o1 this very matter, when we came across a very old man, whom he pointed out as corroborative instance of what he was telling me- This man, in days gone by, had been an athlete of the most violent kind, a man who misused athletics by such feats as walking a thousand miles in thousand hours and other like senseless performances I agree with you that athletic exercise like anything else, can be abused, but when used in the proper way it helps in marked degree to sustain health and life e"-Washington Star.

Advertising Did1t.

Four years ago John A. Love. a merchant of Searey, failed in busi- ness. He soon afterwards started a small store and was agent" for somebody. His business grew as the years went by and his establishment is now as extensive as any in Searcy. Mr. Love is an honest man and paid off his indebtedness as rapidly as possible Last week he paid every claim in full and now does business in his own name He attributes his success to iudicious newspaper ad- vertising He had (and still has, a column in each of the three Searcy papers, and he pays as strict atten- tion to his advertisements as he does to the buying of his goods. During the past four years his column adver- tisement has appeared as regularly as the papers themselves, changed as often and always snappy, interesting and even newsy. There is not the shadow of doubt as to the virtues of advertising; the only mystery about it is the failure of many busi- ness men to employ it.-Ex.

BANQUET TO BRECKENRIDGE.
It Is Proposed to Give Him Grand Reoep-
 ton Upon His Return Home.

Now that the tariff bill has passed and Maj. Breckinridge has resigned his commission as Congressman and qualified as Minister to Russia, it is known that he will return to Pine Bluff in short time to spend a few weeks prior to his departure for St. Petersburg.
 His many friends here are therefore very properly considering the ques- tion of giving him a grand banquet and reception upon his return to his home. This ought by all means to be done. Pine Bluff should delight to honor her most distinguished citizen. She should show her aBpre- citation, man appropriate manner, of Maj. Breckinridge, and the hoaorand compliment paid our city by the President in his appointment of Mai. Breckinridge to one of the highest stations in the diplomatic service In the history of our State, Arkansas has never had such an honor con ferred upon her before, and Mai, Brecldnlidge's appointment is an honor to the city in which he resides no less than to the State and himself.
 On with the banquet.

 4 We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the eoun- try, and the equal coinage of both metals without discriminating against either metal, or charge for mintage but the dol lar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exehangeable value, or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legis- lation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals. and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in payment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par, with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and iaboring classes. the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuating currency. (The national Democratic platform on the finan- cial issue.l
 B We demand of congress the passage of such tariff legislation as may be in strict accordance with the principles announced in our last national platform, and de- nounce all attempts to secure special protection or privileges for any par ticular class orclasses, as unwise, un- patriotic, and undemocratic.
 c. We indorse the Democratic admins tration of Grover Cleveland as eminently wise, patriotic and statesmanlike.
 [. We heartily indorse the present Democratic state administration and con gratulate the people of Texas on the re- forms 1t has accomplished

 g. While recognizing to the fullest ex- tent the right of labor to organize for the advancement of it's members, and the pro motion of their interests, we maintain that the right of every citizen of Texas to pursue his labor and occupation without molestation or intolerance from any source must not be abridged in this state, and we demand of our nexG legislature the | passage of such laws as may be necessary to protect every citizen in the full enjoy ment of such individual liberty.

We hold the theory that government was instituted for the protection of life 1 liberty and property, and that it fails in 1 it's purpose when it denies that protection <, to any citizen or class of citizens. We l view with grave apprehension the growing 1 tendency to set at defiance the laws de i vised for the protection of life and prop. 1 erty, and demand of our legislators such I amendment of these laws as may be found necessary, and of our executive officers i the use of all the powers of the state when necessary, for the suppression oi lawlessness, and the protection of the hu. |

 Nominations being in order E. G. Moore of Tarrant made speech eulo- gizing Judge Reagan, Colonel Lanham, and MT. Culberson, and then in well chosen words nominated Hon. John D. Mccall of Travis county. He claimed that his candidate was thorough bust ness man and well equipped for the duties of the office.
 T. s. Smith of Hill nominated Mr. Culberson of Dallas in forcible ad- dress, paying grand tribute to the at- torney general and asserting that he possessed every qualification necessary for first class chief executive of the Lone Star State.
 Colonel Lanham's name was pre- sented by ex-Congressman Stewart of Harris He commenced with tribute to Judge Reagan and then reviewed the career of Colonel Lanham as a states man and patriot asserting that he was ever true to his conventions.
 Hon. J. G. Dudley of Lamar seconded Culberson's nomination in an eloquent manner.
 Hon. R. NJ Wynne of Tarrant fol- lowed, seeonding MT. Culberson also.

 E. T. Moose of Travis then withdrew Mir. McCalls name.
 Nominations were then closed and a vote called for.
 The Culberson men were jubilant over the withdrawing of Reagan and Mccall, and were confident that the at torney general was a winner.
 It took 35 minutes to cast and sum up the vote by counties, which resulted Culberson, 578; Lanham, 2S7.
 The ballot was received with cheering which lasted fully five minutes, and even then the sergeants-at-arms with difficulty quieted the crowd
 As soon as order was restored the nomination was made unanimous. This brought forth another burst of applause, which did not cease until Mir. Culbsr- son appeared upon the platform, es- corted by committee of three
 Mir. Culberson accepted the nomina- tion in happy speech and pledged him.

 While B. $. Saunders, of this place. was squirrel hunting across theriver this week he found a pot containing upwards of Sl0,000 in silver and gold American coins, none of them minted later than 1860.
