TO BREAK SOLID SOUTH.
Asked to Help Gov. HOlcOmb Says Re-

Asked to Help Gov. HOlcOmb Says Re-
Pubifcans are had Democrats.
LINCOLN. Neb, Aug 16-Cougressmsn
Hunter of Bowling Green, KY, recently
addressed a letter to Gov. Holcombe in
which he requested the governor to
sist in raising fund in Nebraska "to aid
in the election of Republican governor
in Kentucky and thus break the solid
south"
Gov. Holcombe, who is a Populist, re-
piled: sit would please me very much to
witness a breaking up of the solid south
in the interest of the masses, but | would
regret to see the people of Dixie throw
off the yoke of Cleveland Democracy
only to assume the bonds Of party
pledged to class legislation, advocating
a prohibitive tariff for the benefit of the
wealthy eastern manufacturer, single
gold standard to enhance the fortunes Of
Wall street millionaires and British syn
dicstes and an antipatEy to all reforms de-
manded by the people.
your letter was doubtless addressed
to me because the news of the partial re-
demptiOn OF Nebraska from Republican
misruIe had not yet reached the head
quarters of the Republican executive
committee of Kentucky. Therefor re-
turn the communication as you would
doubtle not desire to have it given
publication"

WANT BOTH CONVENTIONS.

Buffalo People Try to Get Republican
and Democratic National Conventions.
New YORK Aug. 15-Buffalo citizens
are here securing endorsements which it
is hoped will bring both the Republican
and Democratic national conventions to
the city. The Erie county members of
the Democratic state committee wanted
the state committee to endorse their APP
plication at their recent meeting in this
city, but that body simply referred it to
national committeeman VIM. F. Shee-
han. As he is a Buffalo man the cause
will not suffer.
Buffalo people have already pledged
100000 if one of the conventions is sent
there, 100000 to be used to build hall
capable of holding $4,000 persons and
the balance to be used for their enter
tainment

FISHING WITH A NET.
An Anecdote of Fishing Where a Sports
man Was Much Frightened.


man Was Much Frightened.
A local fisherman, who does not I'M
derstand why he should be prohibited
the use of net when he fails with the
rod, describes an amusing incident which
happened to him not long ago. lie had
been unsuccessful securing string SAC
cording to Law, =and decided to drop il
q trammel net
AS he was in an isolated locality he
did not take the precaution to hide his
net, but spread it on the stern of the
boat, ready for use when he should reach
the right "hole."
All was quiet and he had no fear of
being molested when, as he rounded a
bend in the creek, ne beheld at short
distance two men who were cycling him
suspiciously. He didn't know just what
course to pursue. but flight was useless.
for the large pile of woven cord in its
conspicuous position must certainly have
already been identified by the intruders.
About the time that he had decided that
to GO boldly forward and effect compro-
mise, if possible, with the supposed spot
tiers was his only chance, the causes of
his discontinue made wild break for
the woods, and as they turned he beheld
hung over one of their shoulders a pom
derous seine. 1t is unnecessary to add
that peace signal was given and re-
turned, and when the trio parted there
was such a friendship between them as
exists only between partners in crime.

CARRIES WHEAT CHEAPLY
The 500 Road Takes 1t to the Coast at 1 2
Cents Per 100.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 16.-Tf the re-
port that gained currency yesterday be
true, the 500 road is carrying wheat from
Minneapolis to the sesboard at the rate
of IL cents per 100 pounds. or only two
cents more than the lowest all rail rate
ever known to be made from Chicago to
the seaboard.
The question is, will the South Shore
line make the same comparative rate, or
a trifle lower, from Duluth. If it does
there is likely to be novel sight of Du-
luth wheat going to the seaboard all rail
while the big lake carriers satisfy them
selves with iron ore.

Seed OF a shoOtlng Gallery.

Topeka is perhaps the only city of its
size in existence that does not support a

expert rifle shots in the city, and it
would seem that shooting gallery here
should do a thriving business, but for
some reason all attempts that have been
made in that enterprise for the past few
years have proven miserable failures.
