Unfnrtunnte speculation.

There is young Polish man residing on
South Main street who has had an experience
that win make him more careful in future
speculations than he has been. Some time
ago a Polish woman arrived here, leaving in
the old country a marriageablc daughter.
The young man in question became boarder
at the woman's house and learned through
conversations the existence of the daughter.
Although he had never seen the latter, he
became desrous of making her his wife and
secretly forwarded money for her passage TO
this country. On Tuesday night the daugh-
ter arrived accompanied by her husband. 4
marriage took place while the girl was left
alone in tho old country. The young man
who advanced the money for the trip was
dumbfounded when he discovered the state
of affairs and is wondering how he will get
his money back. He can't claim fraud be
cause he sent for the girl without the
mothers knowledge and the latter did not
know OF the marriage nor did he ask the
girl before he sent for her whether or not
she was married

LOYAL TO HIS CHIEF.


CHICAGO, Sept 4-Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic national committee, has
made public n letter to William J. Bryan
from Arthur Scwall, dated at Bath, Me-
July 25, at which time the populist con-
vention was I'm session The letter which
is exciting great deal of comment, reads
as follows:
MY dear Mr.. Bryan: In view of the
action of the st. Louis convention today l
cannot refrain from giving you my
thoughts on the situation. My advices are
that you have been nominated as candi-
date for president and Mr.. Watson for
vice president. | also learn through press
dispatches that you are somewhat unde-
cided whether you ought to accept or de-
cline. Now, / desire to say TO you with
the utmost franknoss and good feeling
that you must not allow any personal con-
sideration for me to influence you in your
action.
II desire you will do just what you be-
licve is best for the success Of the head Of
our ticket. The principles we are fighting
for are so paramount to any personal con-
siderations that the latter should not have
any weight or influence whatever with
your action.
II cannot for moment allow myself to
be factor in any action on your part that
would in the slightest degree hazard an
electoral vote for you.
with kind regards to Mrs Bryan, be-
lieve me your sincere friend,
ARTHUR SEwALL."
The Democratic manager at headquart-
ers insisted the letter had no further sig
nitlcance than that Mr.. Bryan would con-
sent to receive II formal notification from
the Populist party in the near future, and
the publication was TO forestall all rumors
as to the astitude of Mr.. Sewall to ward
| off a ceremony.
Accompanying the letter from Mr.. Sew
all is an official statement to the effect that
''Several days ago Chairman Jones wrote
a letter to Mr.. Sewall stating to him that
many Democrats throughout the country,
and especially throughout the west, were
objecting to a fusion with the Popu-
| lists on electoral tickets, for the reason
that they did not wish to be disloyal to
Mr.. Sewall In reply to Chairman Jones
Mr. Sewall sent the foregoing copy Of his
| letter to Mr.. Bryan.
