two weeks outing. They were very
fond of aquatic sports and spent most
of their time boating and fishing.
Hudson, the skipper, protested y Mr..
Storr against the party crow ling into
his small boat, which could only carry
comfortably four persons. Sto-r ans

Before entering the boat Mrs. StoTr
took her husbands gold watch, ever a
hundred dollars in money and the rings
and other valuables and tied them IN
her apron. She was tightly ciuiching
the bundle in death.

WANT w., 10 GE1AOUT
Popuiists Want To Shut on on His judicial
Candidacy.

Topeka, Kan, Aug 19.-The Populist
leaders who are opposed to the nomina-
ton of a candidate for chief justice OF
the supreme court are laboring with
Judge Webb of Topeka with the hope OF
inducing him TO pull out of the race.
Webb, however, is not inclined TO quit.
With the Republican party torn up by
fractional strife, he thinks that he would
stand a pretty good show of election.
But the Populist leaders, that is the
state central committeeman, do not
want to make a campaign this fall be-
cause they deem ii unwise to make a
test of party strength before 1896. Their
scheme is 10 make no nomination for
chief justice, and ''let the people elect
David Martin as a non-partisan judge,
as one patriot put it. Judge Webb is
the only obstacle in the way, and II is
understood that he has promised TO give
the committee an answer by next

Safer Than Lightning Rods.

Each day adds some new virtues to
the long list of those already credited
to the pneumatic. The latest of these
Is that the wheels of a bicycle being
encireled by band of India rubber
and dry air-which is perfect insu-
lator-the rider is completely insulated
from the earth, and, consequently, is
impervious to the attacks Of the cleo
trio fluid. Thus, day by day it becomes
more and more fact that life without
pneumatic tire is neither safe nor
worth having. A, the chances of a
man on a bicycle being struck By light
ming have been carefully calculated to
be about one in a billion. says the
Wheel, there viii. of course, be some
pessiInis.s who will deny that this
newly discovered virtue of the pneu-
matte as lightning insulator amounts
TO very much.
