WHAT HE MEANT.-Many years
ago. before total abstinence was tht
rule among the clergy, there was ar
American missionary located among
the Indians in the far West. He wa
of an hospitable turn of mind. Ht
always kept hard cider on the premis
es. If any one of his widely scattered
flock of Indians chanced. to call upor
him, he would bring forth q jug OF it
One day a strange Indian called-on'
whom he had never seen before-evi
dently an unconverted heather, so fal
az Christianity was concerned-bu'
converted to the consumption of alco
holic beverages. He, as it turned out
had been coached after the manner o
a student at a university. His &C
uuaintance with English was limited
He opened fire upon the astonlshee
missionary thus:
e "Abraham, Jacob, Jonah, Job, Sa
tan, Beelzebub," and then paused, ev'
identity expecting reply.
"Wbat on earth do you mean ?
asked the missionary, he not having
been christened after either OF them
drawing himself up in a digniied
manner.
The Indian pithly replied: II mean

COULDN'T AFFORD IT.-Sam Green
an Alabama justice of the peace, has
his own peculiar idea of the fitness Of
things. Two men, arrested for fighting
were taken before Sans court. After
hearing the evidence, the justice, ad'
dressing one of the men, said:
"Mr. Tucker, you may CO."
"Hold on, judge !" exclaimed the
other man. "You forgot that ne sno'
me and that I had done nothing to
him."
"That's so," the judge responded
"I had intended to let you off, and am
sorry that I made mistake in rem,
dering my decision, but as this court
cannot afford to humiliate itself by
reversing its own opinion, I'll let Mr.
Tucker 20 and will fine you $40.

s@ A lady with little girl entered
the car, and one-armed man prompt
ly rose and offered the lady seat.
At the same moment woman occu'
pying the Lext seat started to leave
the car. The incomer promptly took
the mans place, and calmly raised her
child to the seat occupied by the de.
parting woman, while the one-armed
man lunged for strap. A murmur
ran through the car, and one man,
who looked as if he meant it, said he
would be something that does not look

another. And it did, for when three
more women came in, they were al
lowed to stand up all the way.

GREAT JACKSON !!
"oLD HICKORY

UTAGONS of today, are to the wagon
w product what old Hickory Jack
son of days gone by was to his pat
riotic colleagues-withou a peer. "Old
Hickory" Jackson was built right and OF
the best material, go we are shown by
history, and it would be gross violation
of the principles taught by this great
patriot and statesman, to use dishonest
and inferior material in the construction
of the peerless OLD HICKORY WAC
ON. We are satisfied that the manufac-
turers of the old Hickory Wagons" are
too honest and patriotic to defame the
great Jackson, for whom they have their
wagons named, by allowing them to 60
on the market unless they are what they
should be-THE BEST CONSTRUCTED
WAGON ON EARTH.

Whose names are as follows, can be seen

FOUR HORSE WAGONS,

The capacity of these wagons has never

ton that before the wagon would give

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS Are Against Bryan and
 Free Silver. Puzzled to Know Where They
 Are At.
Euclid Martin Goes East to Make a Thorough Study of the
 Situation.

OMAHA, July 21.-The sound money wing of the Democratic party in Ne braska is now somewhat undecided as to what course to pursue in the con- ing campaign. That they will not sup port Bryan and free silver is the only thing that is definitely decided upon. Just what form their opposition will take, according to Euclid Martin, the recognized leader among them, is as yet undecided.
 No formal conferences have yet been held and none have been called, but that some such meeting will be held in the near future is a certainty. One of the things that is causing delay is the conventions to be held at St. Louis this week
 Euclid Martin goes east tomorrow to confer with eastern delegates. He thinks the west will start the revolt.

BRAVES SUPERSTITION.
The Republican Nominee Joins the
 Thirteen Club.

NEW YORK, July Civilian Mo Kinley, Republican nominee for the office of president, is an honorary member of the Thirteen club. He be gins the campaign by setting at de- fiance the prevailing superstition.
 On June 29 J. R. Abarbanell, archi- vist of the Thirteen club, notified him that he had been elected an honorary member All that was necessary to complete his membership was his ac- ceptance of this honor. It has been accepted. As the Thirteen club has completed its thirteenth year of in corporation for the purpose of defying all ancient and modern superstitions by consistently doing the things which are supposed to bring ill-luck, Major Mckinley has deliberately put himself on record as being above and free from all such superstitions. He thus gives public notice that, on his way through the campaign he will pay no attention to thirteen and treat Friday as other days. He begins his member ship by writing his letter of accept ance on Friday-which came on July Band will join twelve other mem- bers of the club at dinner whenever he happens to be in this town.

man. The selection was effected with out much apparent opposition, but there was an adverse element which would have manifested itself if the committee had not been so evidently favorable to Butler. His selection is a decided victory in committee at least for those who are opposed to the nom- ination of both Bryan and Sewall.
 The National committee has unani- mously elected Butler for temporary chairman of the convention.
 Jerome J. Maddox, delegate at large from West Virginia, says that eight out Of the ten delegates from his state are against fusion and against Bryan. If Bryan{is endorsed or nominated by the convention West Virginia will bolt.

LONG SWIM.
He Now Sends Out a Challenge to Any
 Distance Swimmer.

LAKE CITY, Minn., July 21.-Fred Schwartz of Company H, Third reg ular infantry, is now anxious to meet any long distance swimmer for good purse. He is a young man weighing about 155 pounds, is 5ft, sin tall and is very powerful.
 One of the greatest feats that has been performed in this vicinity in the way of swimming was the swim yes terday afternoon by Schwartz. He was taken across Lake Pepin in a row boat and from there swan back, being followed closely by three boats. The distance straight across is three and one4haf miles, S%t on account of the wind he was driven up the lake and had to swim down, so that in all he covered about five miles. This dis tance he swan on his side and stom- ach in 126 minutes, never stopping to rest and not swimming stroke on his back.
 When he arrived at this shore he was met by large crowd, who cheered him heartily. They had eagerly watched him the entire distance, ex- pecting every minute to see him go down. He was as fresh at the end of the swim as when he started and after his comrades had rubbed him down took another swim.

Southern Pacific Wash
 out at Texas Hill.
Communication with the North .z.. Was Cut Off.
A CIoudburst Carries Away Sec ton of the Santa Fe Track
 North of Phoenix.

The storm of Monday night was of a most violent nature, for Phoenix yes- terday was cut of from outside com munication by rail. The Maricopa 6 Phoenix road withstood the storm. but passengers were compelled to lay over at Maricopa all yesterday.
 The eastbound Southern Pacific train was tied up at Texas Hill until late last night. The wasihout occurred at the same place where it happened a few days ago. AS a consequence of the washout no western mail arrived yesterday.
 The train which left here at 6:15 , o'clock Monday night, northbound over the Santa Fe, got no farther than Peoria, for the wires were found to be down, which denoted a washout on the road. The train was held at Peoria until yesterday afternoon, when it was sent back to Phoenix by order ,, of Superintendent Wells. The train , which left here yesterday morning was stopped at New River. i The washout occurred at Beardsley- about seven miles north of New River, the scene of the last Washout. The track was undermined in one place for a distance of 120 feet, there being an- other smaller break. The southbound trains were stopped at the scene of the washout.
 l Superintendent Wells and Engineer Drake were at the scene as soon as pos sible after the breaks were reported i and worked hard to make temporary repairs. Superintendent Wells says the washout was the result of a cloud burst on the desert and that a volume
 of water seven feet deep rushed down the Agua Fria, but luckily without do ing any damage to the bridge. The delayed northbound train went on schedule time yesterday evening and transferred mail and passengers to train on the other side of the break The track was in condition for traffic
 about o'clock and the belated pas sengers and mail arrived here little later
 Superintendent Wells says that the storm was unusually severe along the ! Atlantic & Pacific and that consider able damage was done the road, it be- ing reported that a bridge had been
 washed out. If such is the case eastern mail will be slow in arriving for sev-
 eral days.
 l No local damage of any consequence
 was the result of the storm with the
 exception that grain stacked in the fields was injured.
