PAoLA, October 3.--Another great Pop
ulist rally in q republican stronghold
was held here yesterday. Governor
LsWslling and Judge DOster spoke to
1000 people this afternoon. They were

that prominent members Of the republi-

from twenty to fifty teams in each pro-

Jack, an I1ish setter whose home is
in Maryland, has the regular duty OF
bringing the mail from the letter box at
the gate, the house standing we'll back
from the road. His family were an
ticipating a two weeks visit to New
York and proposed sending Jack to the
country during their sbsence. Jacks
wishes in the matter we're not consulted,
and he was not invited to take part in
the discussion, but that he listened was
proved by his actions. 1t was decided
to start on a Tuesday evening, provided
letter were received by the mornings
mail. 1t did not come, however, nor in
the afternoon, when Jack brought up
whole batch, and to bis satisfaction no
one left home. Several days. passed.
Then telegram came inquiring what
was the matter. An exchange of letters
disclosed the fact that the promised let
ter was written and should have been
received when expected. A search, into
which Jack was impressed, much against
his will, discovered the missing letter
hidden in hencoop, and it bore unmis-
taxable evidence that Jack had placed
it there.
Now, it is not to be supposed that
Jack could read or distinguish hand
writing, so his keen nose must have req
ognized the writer, who was frequent
visitor, of whom he was very fond, but
only from listening to the talk could he
have connected that person with the
plans for departure. This Is the only
instance of j ck s ever betraying trust.
but the sagacity evinced was SO great
that confidence in him was increased In
stead of lessened by it.-Demorest's

THE KANsAL CITY RIOTS.

No Additional Deaths Have Yet Resulted
From the Election Fights.
KANSAS CRY, April 6.-No additional
deaths have occurred as a result of the
election riots in this city, in which one
man was killed and three others NOR
tally wounded.
The riot was the elimination of bit
ter feeling which had been manifested
by action and words ever since the polls
opened In the morning. The two an
tagonistic dement's were solidly divided
in their choice Of candidates for mayor.
The aggressive support that each side
gave to its candidate during one of the
hottest campaigns ever known in this
city engendered a strong sentiment of
bigotry. II was, therefore, in no ami
able mood that the workers of the re-
spective factions came together at the
different polling places throughout the
city, and that these workers came ex-
pecting trouble to occur before the day
was over was apparent from the num-
Der of weapons that were drawn when
the first pistol shot was fred. The riot
that resulted so fatally was the eli
