D. Farrelly of Chanute, Democratic cam
didate for congress from the Third dis

Pcpulist and Democratic leaders. Mr.. Far
reilly is in a place where he needs advice.
AS the Populists of the Third district de-
sire the election of Ed Ridgely. they are
making a strong effort to get Farrelly off
the track. If he will withdraw from the
congressional fight they will give him the
state senatorship. A conference held at
Chanute last week failed to bring the par
ties together, but it is more than probable
Mr.. Farreily will accept the lesser honor

A REAL DICKENS CHARACTER.

1t is somewhat astonishing to learn by
way of the Chicago papers that Mark
Taplev, the real hero of Dickens MAR
tin Chuzzlewit," has a living posterity,
direct and collateral, in Illinois. There
is a Mark Tapley in Chicago who is
proud to call himself a grandson Of the
original Mark; then there is a Mrs.
Rebecca Bush in Rockford, who was
born Taplev, aud Who claims that she is
a first cousin Of Mark. The Tapleys
came from Folkstone, SYNDICATE and
Dover, in England, and Dickens met the
immortal Mark at Folkestone. Mrs.
Bush has membranes Of Dickens, and
talks about the Wayiar,rs' inu founded
bv Dickens in which IL wayfarers could
be entertained over night and given
breakfast free of charge. Mrs. Bush has
not read her Dickens for nothing, one
observes. But what a possibility is here
suggested,-that the novelist creates
actual personages who may found iami-
lies and become as real as though they
hid not sprung from the authors brain

tions are no doubt possessed of the
genius of their forbear, of bling jolly
