They Hold a Convention and Nomi-
nate a Ticket.
indianapolis, April 26.-Delegates num-
bering LIS are present at the Republic
an state convention to-day in Tomlinstn
hall. There IS harmony and the great
est enthusiasm. Chairman Gowdy called
the convention to order at 10 o'clock.
After prayer business begun with a
'huIrah for Harrison" The Jules of
the Fifty-frst congress-, as adopted and
applied by Thomas B. Reed, were chosen
to govern the proceedings. Ex-Secretary
of the Navy Richlrd w. Thompson, Sc
lected to preside, then addressed the con-
ven.ion. PandemOniUm followed the ap-
pearance of ex-President Harrison. Hats
and handkerchiefs were waived and the
audience rose to its feet amid cheers.
The platform reafirms faith in the pro-
gressive principles of the Republican
party, characterized the administration
of President Harrison as wise, pure and
practical and contrasts the home and for
eign policies of his administration with
''the present travesty on government"
Belief in doctrines of protection and reel
prccity is asserted, and the present at
tempt of the Democrats to overthrow
these systems is denounced and pointed
out as the cause for the present wide
spread depression. Currency composed of
gold, silver and paper, readily converti-
BILE and under national control is de-
manded, and the pension policy of the
Democratic party is denounced. State
issues are then treated. The following
ticket was nominated: Secretary of
state, A. D. Down; auditor, A. G. Daily;
treasurer, +. C. Scholz; attorney general,
w. A. Ketchum.

What was it, colonel?' asked one Of

"Well, you see, it was this way. The
shoemaker was slow, and I was in a
hurry. A boy who has never had a

Come Saturday night the man had one

have to wait a week for the other.
"'Well give me that one, anyhow
said I, and 1 carried it home. l wore
it all that week, and all the next, for
the fellow didn't keep his word any
more than shoemakers generally do;
and by the time the second one was
done the first n needed repairing.
And so the thing went on. That
shoemaker was so slow and the leather
was so poor and 1 ran about so much
that somehow l never once had both
shoes on together, and by and by they
were gone entirely"

Dr. 3. was passing a small grocery
shop when he saw some ripe peaches,
and stepped in to buy. The proprietor
answered him in q very ~preoccupied

books when his customer entered.

placing the complete writings of Dumas

A Juror in Jail,

Indianapolis, April 26.-The trial of
Frank and Pericval Coffin and A. S.
Reid, of the Indianapolis Cabinet COM
pany, for aiding T. P. Haughy, presi-
dent of the Indianapolis National bank,
in wrecking that institution, was re-
sumed to-day. At noon Judge Baker
announced that there was in his posses
sion evidence that Juror Alvin Arm
strong of Lawrence county had been
guilty of conspiracy and corruption
against the government by attempting to
enter into a contract with the defend
ants to hang the jury for a consideration
of $4,000. The juror was arrested as he
sat in his box. The jury was discharged
and the court adjourned until next Tues
day, when a new jury will be selected
and the sensational case will be COM
mepced again.

Gold DiExfnc,

Perhaps it was not an old Forty
miner who gave the following dcscrip-
ton, but it was a man who knew the
work in question. Like most enthusi-
asts, however, he undertakes the trial
and disappointment involved.
It's the prettiest work l ever did.
It's the fascination of it; when you've
struck it pretty rich and see your gold
right in front of you. when you're
piling it up every half hour of the day,
with a nugget now and again as big as
a bullet to cheer you.
And then when the evening comes
and you count it up and find it a hum
dred odd dollars, just picked out O the
earth that day, well, there's nothing
like it!
Then, when you don't strike it, you
always think you're going to next day;
and it's just as exciting hearing other
men tell in the evening what they've
pulled out, rs it is counting your own.
Why, I've been three months at a
time without making a dollar and with
out a cent in my pocket, but, gee-whit-
taker! the excitement Of it don't give
a man time to think how hard up he is!

A Queer Burglar Tran.

II went one night" said the retired
burglar, into the room Of a man who
had his clothes stacked up on a chair
alongside the bed, with the trousers
on top in q careless sort Of
way, as though he had been too tired or
too lazy to straighten 'em out. The
rlght-hand pocket looked inviting, and
l reached into it. There was a pocket
book there, but when I tried to pull it
out my hand was held on the sharp
points Of a dozen wires.
You have seen those mouse traps
with little cone-shaped wire tunnels
Tor the mouse to run his head into?
He a get his head in easily enough,
but when he wants to pull it out the
end of the wires stick into his head
n neck and hold him. Well, this
man had fixed up a continuance like
that in his pocket. I could have freed
myself by taking a little time and using
u little more patience, but I said to
myself, "Why not carry the trousers
on n take my time about it" l
gathered them up and started. 1t was
q mistake. I hadn't got six feet be-
o ! Alt q tug, and the points were
pulled into my hand deeper than ever.
VI course / knew at once what it all
meant; there was a cord attached to
n Of the trousers legs and the other
end of it was tied to the mans hand,
and that was what I had brought UP
against.
He was out Of bed in a minute. I
made a bluff at him, but, hampered as
I was with practically only one hand,
I really wasn't in it ut oil, and in less
than two minutes he had me tied up
waiting for the police.-New York Sun.

PATRONS OF THE PAWNsHOF

Their Visits to the Avuncular Re1a.
tive Become a Matter of Habit
Sometimes.
"Pawnbroking is a habit" said a
nan who sits under the shadow of the
three balls, to a writer for the Buffalo
Express. Eyes, mostly a habit. The
patent medicine habit is nothing to it.
After anybody has hung up something
with me a few times he's pretty sure
to become a regular customer. He does
business with me just like clock work
after that; always goes broke just so
long before pay day. Two of the best
people I have are husband and wife,
and neither knows that the other ever
heard of such a thing as hooking a
watch. 1 know that from the way they
acted, and I was pretty much surprised
one day when the woman brought in
the pawn ticket for her husbands
watch. She didn't look as il anything
unusual had happened, and I sized up
the situation and gave her her own
watch instead. That was what she
wanted. Next day the husband came
in with the ticket for his wife's watch.
I gave him his own watch and he never
knew the difference. You see, they had
hidden their tickets in the same place.
They have brought their watches
around yer since, which they wouldn't
have done by any n Of means if
I hadn't had my wits about me. Now,
one of those church p~awnbrokers down
in New York wouldn't have known
enough to do that, and would have
lost two good customers as well qs
made trouble in an estimable family.

vas a hall, also f1oored, rooted and
walled with the same curious stones,
and in the center was an altar and q
stone upon which it is thought that
human sacrifices have been offered. The
strangest part Of all is that NO stones
or rocks like those used in this tunnel
can be found on the island, and at no
place nearer than 100 miles inland.
Who brought them? How did they
come? There is no record left-at least
none has been found-to tell who these
people were, or anything about them.
They must have lived many centuries
ago, but have vanished entirely, yet
their work is as perfect apparently as
when first built. 1t is thoughtthat they
may have been Druids, who came here
when they left Great Britain; others,
again think that they were worshipers
of the serpent god called Hoa. But it
is conjecture. All we know is that the
stones are there, strangely carved, skill
fully put together, but Of their builders
there is no trace.

Nicola, Iowa, April 23.-Kelly and his
Industrial army completed their first days
march from Council Bluffs here at 6
o'clock last evening, and immediately went
into camp in a grove jrst east of town.
The entry into Nicola was a triumphal
march. Almost every man, woman and
child of the LOO inhabitants went out
to greet the army. Flags were borne
end cheers were lusty as the 800 men
tr.'n ped down the street. The stores
snd vacant buildings of this place We're
thrown wide open and the weary men
offered all available shelter. The start
tlcm Camp Weston was made at 3
O'Clock. Hundreds of people had gone
out from Council Bluffs and Omaha to
see the beginning of the long overland
march, and a dozen wagons heavily
laden with provisions awaited the NOV
ing Of the column. As soon as breakfast
was over and blankets strapped the
companies fell into line, and in step with
the energetic trumping of a bass drummer
tramped down the hill upon which the
camp was situated, and the march to
Washington was begun. The day was a
perfect one, and rapid time was made
along the smooth, well beaten roads.
From every farm house flags were flying
and at every cross roads lines of gaily
decorated wagons and carriages awaited
the G. timing of the army. The little town
Of Underwood was reached about noon
and a sumptuous repest was served by
the enthusiast site villagers. When the
meal was over aid the impromptl
speeches done tie march -yas resumed
amid the energetic cheering of the crowd
that was gathered. On every hand the
deepest sympathy for Kelly and his men
was expressed. Formers and townsmen
were eager to supply the wants of the
commonwealers. Nicola is with Kelly to
a man, and the condemnation Of the &C.
ton of the railroads in refu.ing trans.
portation Is as violent here as at Coun-
Gil Fluffs and Omaha. As an ironical ex-
