READING SIGNS ON THE HIGH BUILDINGS.
which are used constantly now-and
have been for the past year-for re-
hearsals I presume that my live stock
out there has heard more speeches on
the tariff and currency than the presi-
dent of the senate or the speaker of the
house.
The vice president was speaking the
other day to me on board the Asheville
and Washington sleeper of the old time
political stump speaker, and among other
things told of Dick Oglesby's methods
of dealing with the currency question.
'sGentlemen," he said, 1--WE now come
to the currency question, of which the
Democrats talk to you SO much.
''Now, they ought not to do that They
don't understand and never did and
never will understand the currency
question. Why, gentlemen, the plain
goddlemighty's truth about the cur
rency question is that it's as much as
the Republicans can do to understand
it
Speaking further on of joint debates,
Mr.. Stevenson told of one which oc-
CURED between General Fry and Colonel
Woodford, if am not mistaken, in a
little western town.
Woodford had been a Union soldier
from Kentucky, but was a hot Demo-
crat, while General Fry, Of course, was
q Republican. Woodford said to Fry:
''I'm no speaker in public, never hav-
in had any advantages, but after ye're
troo, eff there's time, I'll make few
disj j'inted remarks jest So s you all won t
have it intirely your own way
So after General Fry had spoken in a
moderate way, among other things refer
ring to the magnanimity of the federal
government to the south after the war,
Colonel Woodford arose and said:
Gentlemen, ye've all heerd what
Jinerel Fry says, especially about the
Republicans magnanimity after the
wah. Now, gentlemen, Jinerel Fry
orient to do that, jest because he comes
from Danville, where they have a col
lege and churches and telegrafts. It's
no way for him to come down here where
we are plain people, with no advantages
and no schools and no the-a-ters, and tell
Us about the magnanimity of the Re-
publicans after the war.
1--WE are all plain people here. and we
make no pretensions whatever, gentle
men, but if there's anything we do love
next to our wives and our country it's
the everlastin North American truth.
"And what did they do with poor old
Stonewall jackson at the clothes Of the
wah? Mind ye, I didn't agree with
Stonewall regardin the wah, but yet he
was a brave man, and, though I fit on
the other side, my blood boils when
think Of the way they treated him after
the Confederacy busted up. And what
did they do with Stonewall Jackson, as
brave a man as ever straddled a wah
hoss, gentlemen? Took him and tried
him by drum head cote martial and had
him shotl Took him out like deserter
and shot him in the breshv

Last Saturday evening the A. O. U.

PHOENIX LIKE BOOMERS
The Minnesota Mining and Refining Company
Stock Gets Another Boom from Out
side Parties.
G. w. VanDusen and II. r. Owens Interested--A
Mining Expert Visits the PROPERTY
Salaries Paid.

Phoenix-like the boomers and own
ers of the alleged gold mine north of
Delhi have arisen from the wreck
caused by their collision with the au-
thorities of the State University, Min
neapolis analytical chemists, and the
sensational publications in the Mime
apolis Journal. To-day they are
booming,or bathing in the bright sun
shine Of glorious promises and piles
of the yellow metal.
Edlund, VanHemert and Erickson
and all the rest of the boomers have
been aggressiveiy working with cap
italists since the squelching which be-
gan g month or SO ago. Last Satur-
day President Edlund, of the Mining
Co., appeared on the scene at Delhi,
with a pocketful of money, and dis
tribnted it around among the miners,
according to the work performed.
With Edlund there also appeared H.
r. Owens, business manager of Farm,
Stock and Home, of Minneapolis, and
brother to Hon. S.M. Owen, late Popu-
list nominee for governor. A third
person in Edlund's party, was Col
orado mining expert, who registered
at Delhi House, under the simple
name Of Field. The party spent most
the asternoon Saturday and all OF
Sunday Investigating the mining
property, and before they left the
place Field took several specimens of
quartz. and =, sack of paint, the latter
being obtained across the river from
the Minnesota Mining and Refining
Co.'s property and which was shipped
to Minneapolis by freight Monday
evening.
Conductor Gardner, of the St. Louis
road, says that there is no doubt but
what Field is an expert of the greatest
experience, as he has known him for
some time. The conductor is quite
certain that he is acting in the inter-
ests of G.. w. VanDusen, who, it is al
legged. has recently become interested
in the mining property. When Field
took the train east Monday forenoon
an attempt was made to interview
him, but with considerable skill he
evaded the answers of the reporter.
Enough was pumped out of him, how
ever, to warrant the statement that he
believes that gold exists along the
Minnesota river, but whether or not
it is in paying quantities Mr.. Field
would not state. He said that he had
specimens with him, and that after
making the usual inspection he would
report to the persons by whom he was
employed, to whom he very magnani-
mously referred the reporter for fur
ther information, winking as he gave
the tip.
What may be the motive of the
company is at present question, but
it is nevertheless fact that they have
ordered work commenced at the mine
with renewed zeal and energy, and
they are now working larger force
than heretofore. In fact, President
Edlund, before returning to Mime
apolis last Monday, made provisions
for the commencement of work by a
night force,so that work will be pushed
night and day. The night work was
to have commenced last night.
People around Delhi are enthusi-
astic over the latest move, and are

LIKE a DEATHBoLT IN A STORM
Fright, brought on by the falling of a
bolt through her umbrella in thunder
shower, almost cost the life of Miss
Helen Williams, Saturday evening,
and she was robbed in the bargain. In
company with Bertha Hall Miss Will
liams was walking north on Twelfth
street, during the shower which fell
early in the evening. Near Walnut
street a bolt fell from the hands Of a
workman employed on building in
course of construction. 1t broke
through the umbrella which Miss Will
liams carried, and caused her to mag
inc that it was bolt of lightning. I'm
mediately blood gushed from her
mouth and nose, and three hemor-
rhages followed in rapid succession.
During the excitement attending the
accident some one ran of with the
satchel which Miss Williams had car
ried. 1t contained, according to her
statement, 1925 and diamond ring

Fpoe 1NAx ELEpHANr's TRuNK.-

FROG IN AN ELEPHANTS TRUNK.-
Jess. the big elephant belonging to
Sells & Rentfrow's circus, was slum-
bering quietly on the ground in the
menagerie tent at Salt Lake at one
O'Clock the other morning, when a
frog mistaking the nozzle of her
trunk for hole in the ground. jumped
into it. Nothing so terrorizes an ele-
plant as the presence Of live insect
or animal in its trunk, and the big
brute broke loose and went on ram
page. -,
The keepers were eating their lunch
at the time, and the menagerle tent
was entirely deserted. A great crash
was heard, and the men rushed BACK Just
in time to see Jess go through the side
of the tent and amble OF toward the
business center of the city. a scene of
wreckage was presented within the
tent. The big brute had broken her
chain. apparently, and amused
herself BY tossing the cages about be-
fore leaving. Four cages were thrown
over on their sides, as though they were
so many toys, and then the elephant
walked right through the side of the
tent. The cages were those containing
the badgers. hedgehogs, monkeys and
kangaroos, but, fortunately, none of the
animals were injured, and very little
damage was done to the wagons.
Fifteen mounted men were sent in
pursuit of of the elephant. Jess came
straight down town, and astonished tbs
few pedestrians on the street by prone
nading up and down Main street, oc
casionally striking the curb with heI
trunk and uttering cries of distress.
Mr.. Sells was with the men who over
took her, and soon discovered the
cause OF her discomfort By compress
ing the trunk the frog was forced down,
and finally blown out by the elephant.
She then became docile, and was taken
back TO the tent.
