Really. that boom received a deadly

Butcher. Of Baker City. cooked his tall
silk hat on the back OF his head. ad-
justed his undertaKer's coat, and went
forth 10 shout the excellencies Of Pen
noyer. ex-governor of oregon. He
shouted all night and began loudly on
the next day. But that day he began
in the Auditorium Annex. Now, shout
ing among the press cranks in the
Palmer House is quite the thing; but
up at the high and proper Auditorium
it's as much out OF place as a jig at
a funeral. Butcher didn't know this.
He shouted "Pennoyer, Pennoyer, Pen
noyer." The gold men frowned, the
senators fidgited, the administration
men sniffed and sneered. Then a po-
llceman was called and the exuberant
Butcher was led away. But his soul
was full Of "Pennoyer." and his stom-
ach was full OF enthusiasm, so he re-
turned TO the shouting. This time the
police led him as far as the jail and
locked the door from the outside. In
the evening Butcher recovered and wos
bailed out.
But that wasn't all. Dr. Millinnix,
of Portland, was so full of his speech
that when he retired last night he blew
out the gas. In the room with him
slept DIR. Welch, the leader of the
delegation. and the chief Of the Pen
noyer movement The two slept on.
The gas came out and out and out

body but the two sleepers, They were
fast succumbing TO its influence when
providential chambermaid came
along and rescued them. But they had
become so much affected that DR.. Null
linnix is beyond all seeming possibility
of making a nominating speech, and
DR.. Welch lost his presence OF mind
sufficiently TO ask j. P, Irish to take
the place of the incapacitated orator
Irish is, of course, Cleveland cuckoo,
and If there is any one Cleveland hates
more than another. it is Pennoyer,
governor of Oregon, Imagine the re-
ception of Mr.. Welch's request. But
such are the traps into which wild
Western boom may fall when it gets
amid the snares and spoop-ju of a
great city.
