who are not politicians. Those

organized for the purpose of re-

There is a feeling that in some

it is the existence of private cor.

George Gould says it is the

The farmers say it is the low

The silver men say it is the
action of Wall street.

The manufacturer says it is

HON. w. III. CLEGGET.

Hon. William H. Clagget, the
"Gray Eagle of the North, talk
ed to an immensely apprecative-
audience in the |. O. 0. F. hall
in Challis last Wednesday night.
Every seat in the hall was occu-
pied and many were compelled
to remain on the sidewalk on the
outside.
Judge Clagget is, without
doubt, one of the most eloquent
and profound public speakers in
the West today. He spoke for
fully three hours upon the inn
portant features of the Peoples
Party platform, such as the finan-
cial question, tariff, railroads,
etc., and the vast audience list
ened to his sound argument and
undisputable facts set forth,
without tireing, and the speaker
was met with a storm of APP
plause from the beginning to
the close of his address. Mr.
Clagget did not speak in his
usual .'fowery" style, but con-
fined himself to facts and figur-
es, which the most rabid Re
publican or Democrat cannot
deny, and the way he handled
the two old parties was most
satisfactory to the Populists.
He spoke the plain truth, and
exposed their tricks, for he is
well acquainted with them, hav-
ing been foremost in the Repub-
lican ranks for years, until of
late. when he cast his lot with
the Populists-the only party
that boldly advocates the cause of
the masses-not the capitalists.
Clagget, like Senator Jones.
Stewart and Others could see no
chance to reinstate silver by
remaining in the Republican
party, so. united with the Peoples
party. Messrs. Clagget, Jones
and Stewert were considered hy
the Republicans when they be-
longed to that party, honorable,
intelligent and patriotic men;
and Senator Jones was claimed
to be the best posted man on the
financial question in America, if
not in the world. But just as
soon as they become members
of the Peoples party they are
called Anarchists, traitors, and
numerous other pet names. II
makes a great difference to which
party they belong.
Mr.. Clagget. whose hair is
white as snow, stood for three
long hours, advocating the true
principles of government, and
commanded the respect of al
parties for the simple and able
manner in which he discussed
the most important issue of the
day-the question of finance. L
was grand picture |.
He spoke at length upon the
tariff question, and showed how
high exhorbitant protection pro
tected the monopolist manufac
lures, but robbed the producers
, Such are facts which cannot b.
, disputed.
This was Mr.. Cfagget's frs
visit to Custer county, and he wa
very much pleased with his kin'
treatment while here, and th'
large and intelligent audienc
which greeted him.

30 years of age, was seen in

HOW BULLETS ARE CAUGHT.
One of the Great Conjuring Tricks Neatly
Explained.
(From the Boston Sunday Post.)

(From the Boston Sunday Post.}
The adage that there in nothing Few IN
der the sun has been questioned in the
matter of tricks performed by magicians,
conjurers, prestidigitater11s and others who
deal in that which is a mystery to the eye.
The catching of bullets by Prof. Hermann
seemed TO climax series of mysteries for
whioh that clever dealer in the mystic art
was responsible. Speaking of the bullet
catching trick in particular, Prof. T. d.
Hewes, who is also dealer in the art mys-
tic, SAID yesterday:
There are literally but few. tricks in mag
ic. The so-called new ones presented to
the public from time to time by our leading
magicians. conjurers or whatever they
call themselves simply the re viva1 of
some old experiments clothed in a new
form.i The catching of bullets is not by
any means new trick. for it is almost as
old as magic itself. l remember seeing the
old Fakir of Ava perform the same
trick, only in different manner, when
was a small boy. The catching of the bull
let is very easily explained. In the first
place. to accomplish it the con urer must pro
cure an old style cap-lock. smooth-bore
musket, some powder, caps and leaden
bullet. All these must be perfectly free
from any deception. Now we come to the
ramrod. Therein lies the whole mystery of
the trick. 1t is constructed with small
metallic tube, closed at one end, and SO ar
ranged as to become detached from the end
OF the ramrod at will.
Having explained the construction of all
the appliances, we will now proceed to do
the trick. The gun. bullet, powder and
caps are freelv given for examination. The
performer requests some one to put the
charge of powder into the gun. Next he
inserts a small piece of paper, and rams it
down, and by twist of the ramrod to the
left. the small metal tube is dislodged from
the point and remains within the gun bar
rel. Now the bullet is marked and placed
in the gun by one of the audience; again
the professor rams it down. Now by con.
trary twist, the metal tube become fast to
the ramrod so that in withdrawing it the
bullet is removed.
1.-The performer now palms the mar ked
bullet and all that remains to do is to go
through the motions of catching it when
the gun is discharged, and the spectators
are thoroughly mystified. You see, it is all
very simple when you know how. Notwith-
standing this, Hermann is the clevsrest
man with his hands that ever donned a
dress coat. Kellar is a great inventor and
wonderful mathematician, but not the
conjurer and entertainer that HerIln is.
He has the credit of inventing many new
tricks and delusions, when, in reality, he
has only resurrected some old experiment
and brushed off the mold of time and re-
christened it,
