room Of D Company he was voted fit
for a brevet caDtaincy, and Miss Cor

After twenty days the post surgeon
gave Mix permission to be carried out
on the hospital veranda. During the
long, balmy June evenings, when the big
moon shimmered down across the parade
ground, Sandman used to sit beside him
in the shadow, and they would listen to
the banjo ditties that f1oated up the hill
from the barricks of the Ninth.
One evening Mix was dwelling at
length on the excellencies of the girl
and wound up so:

say, if-well-if I should take three

BRADLEY BACKS DOWN.
Kentucky's Governor Withdraws
from the Presidential Race
His Reasons.

Louisville, KY, June 3.-The Com
merciars special from Frankfort con
tains an interview with Gov. Bradley,
which is his official withdrawal is a
presidential candidate. He announced
to his friends that his name would not
be presented to the st. Louis convention,
although the Kentucky delegates at-large
and some district delegates are instruct
ed for him. Gov. Bradley looks On the
growth of free silver among the South
ern and Western Democrats with alarm
as threatening the interests of the coun-
try. He urges the Republicans to meet
the issue squarely and closes the inter-
view thus:
The nominee at st. Louis should have the
undivided support of the party, for the
commercial interest of the republic is in as
much danger as in 1861. Personal prefer
ences should be laid aside and petty ami
mOsities forgotten and patriotic Democrats
who stand for the national advancement
and prosperity of the nation should be APP
would lower the standard of our money
and thereby necessarily strain the nations
honor. Kentucky Republicans won sig
nal triumph last fall on q ringing declara-
ton for sound money. They should stand
by their guns, forgetting all internecine
strife and march shoulder to shoulder to a
grand victory in November.
Gov. Bradley's friends say he stated
as soon as the returns of the silver tidal
wave last Saturday came in that the
time had come for the state favorites
and personal preferences to be laid
aside.

This Man Has Been Wronged by the:
Railroads.


When the road was built several years
ago the line was surveyed within ten
feet of farmhouse belonging to Jake
Stoddard. He protested against what
he deemed the outrage, but in vain. The
grading was done and the track was
laid.
Incidentally Mr.. Stoddard's henhouse
was torn down and his orchard was re-
arranged. Mr.. Stoddard felt that he
had been used badly, and he refused to
accept the amount offered by the COM
pany as damages He began a suit
against the company which lasted sew
eral years and finally resulted in a COM
promise.
Then Mr. Stoddard put up the sign
which tells those who pass by Off his
"wrongs." He is also raising dogs that
run and bark at every train that passes,
as If they shared their masters hatred
Of corporations. Brakemen throw coal
at the CANNES, and by picking up these
missiles Farmer Stoddard secures fuel
for his stove But he hates the BurETng
ton railroad with an abiding hatred and
repaints the sign every spring.
