peka. II was an enthusiastic meet
ing.

lowing is the list: First, Guy HOugh-
telin. second. d. P GilIies; Third, A. G.

Aaron JetmOTe's speech dealt largely
with statistics in which he showed that
under free trade the country had been
forced into debt. while in the four years
preceding, under tariff. it had paid off
some of the debt. He said that the
tariff was the issue. and not the silver
question
Tom Doran made some remarks con-
graduating the young men upon their
having met TO organize a club for Nc
kinley.
A K Rodgers became eloquent in
telling what the young men could do.
III tell you" said he. IF all the
this year should vote for Mckinley, il
would settle the victory without doubt
You young men are the workers. The
older men step back and let the young
men do the campaigning. When you
Outgrow these quarters, just go to the
county central committee and tell them,
and they Will furnish you a meeting
place. When you grow large we will
rent Hamilton hall for you and get the
best speakers in the country to address
you.
Now. in regard to uniforms You
ought TO have a distinctive uniform.
You Will remember that the Blaine
clubs used to attract attention wher-
ever they went You ought to have a
uniform hat and badge and maybe a
linen buster"
1t IS probable that the committee on
uniforms will advise the adoption of a
uniform consisting of a high hat, a
linen buster and a Mckinley cane.
The meetings of the club Will be held
at Noble & Merriam's office. Should
the membership grow largely a hall will
be rented for the meetings. Next Sat

MONUMENT FOR A cow.
A Woman Makes a Queer Trade and
Now There is a Lawsuit.

Galesburg, Ill, Sept 7-Justice HoI-
comb had a curious case before him
the other day. Mrs. Mabel Davis had
an old monument which she intended
to make use of by planting it at the
head of her husband when he would
make his final departure from earthly
scenes.
In an evil moment she cast an envi-
Gus eye on a fine COW which she liked
better than the prospect of soon max
ing use of the head stone, so she made
a dicker with the owner of the sleek
well fed mixer with the result that she
traded the useless marble shaft for the
cow even up. Then it was that her
lege lord got his mad up and offered
one Ralph Scott 81. so if he would pro-
cure a buyer for the COW.
Soon a purchaser was forthcoming
and the gentle specimen of the kline
tribe was led off, and $40 less 81 so
found Judgment in Mr.. Davis pocket.
Now comes Mrs. Davis, who depOseth
that ownership of the COW rested in
her, that her property was traded for
it, and brings an action in replevin to
recover the animal which Mr.. Connor,
the buyer, stOutly contests.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept. Iii
Hung Chang passed over into Canada
by way of the suspension bridge a lit
tie after o'clock today. The distin-
guished Chinaman Travelled on a special
Canadian Pacific train which had been
brought to this side (the first ever
brought into the United States. by the
way) especially for his convenience.
The train will arrive in Toronto this
afternoon, where an attempt viii be
made to induce Ii to appear a. the ex-
position, but as he avoids crowds when
he can, he is not likely to accept the in
VitatiOn.
His purpose now is to get to the Pa
cific coast as rapidly as is consistent
with safety, and he will take most OF
his inspection of Canada from the car
windows. It is understood that Ii
Hung Chang is preparing autograph
letters of thanks to George w. Boyd,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania railway, and Major Gen
eraI Ruger, the presidents representa-
tive on their tour. Both these gentle
men have been tireless in their efforts
to make the visit of the distinguished
visitor a pleasant one. and it is because
of their kindness that the VicerOy de-
sires to write them personal letters OF
thanks.
He has also expressed his intention OF
sending handsome presents to Mr.
Boyd and General Ruger when he
reaches home.

Is a Good Mixer.

Wichita, Sept. 7.-Senator John W.
Leedy, the DemO-Pop candidate for
governor, was in the city Saturday
night en- route from Marion to his
home in LIE Roy. COffey county. He
waited here for the arrival of the
Rock Island until the departure of the
Missouri Pacific and the most of the
time was in the hands of Colonel Tay-
1or.
He spoke a few minutes before the
Bryan and Sewan Travelling Mems
club which was being organized in the
parIors of the Carey hotel.
Senator Leedy. after supper, came
into the office of the Carey hotel and
placed a straw hat on his head. He inn
mediateIy took it off, looked at it care
fully and said: well, 1 guess it is
getting too cold for a straw hat and I
guess I will patronize Wichita to the
extent of 6. few dollars. Where can 1
get a good hat?'
Colonel Taylor took him in charge
and in about five minutes he returned
with a bran new up-to-d date stiff hat on
his head and the old one in his hand.
Mr. Leedy is quite a mixer and he met
many men in the Carey and talked to
them freely as if he had known them
for years.
