Interest of Gold.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 1.-When Mr.. Bryan
leaves Lincoln tomorrow morning for his
dying trip through his own state he will
be followed at no great distance by John
p. Irish of California, who will strive TO
undo whatever Mr.. Bryan accomplishes.
This programme was decided upon by the
national democrats of Nebraska when
Chairman Mark Hanna vetoed the propo-
sition that ex-Congressman William II.
Mason should perform that duty for the
republicans in Illinois. It Is improbable
that Mr.. Irish will follow Mr.. Bryan
throughout the day, but arrangements for
his reception have been made in most Of
the larger towns to be visited.

GET OUT AND WALK"
The Awkward Prcdicament of a
Sheriff in Kentucky.

Sheriff in kentucky.
There is law in Kentucky popu-
larly known as the "Jim Grow Coach
Law" BY this act colored citizens
and plain, or white, citizens must not
occupy the same compartment in any
coach on any line of railway within
the state. In April, 1896, a white man,
being a sheriff, had to escort three
colOred cOnvicts TO u penitentiary.
The sheriff and his charges boarded q
train, and were seated in the Jim
ment were dozen Afro-Americans,
blameless before the law. They OBJ
jected to the presence OF white man
in their compartment.
"The Separate Coach act says no
white man shall ride in any cO'part-
mem reserved for cullud citizeps," said
a black preacher.
"Ain't no question bout that" as
sented yellow book agent.
The conductor was called, and COM
mittee Of three expourded the law
secured to cOlored citizens. The sheriff
argued from the executive oxigencies
of the occasion.
l amt a-goin' to leave them priso-
ners out O. my sight," he said.
But the conductor, the supreme au-
thority upon train in transitu. decid
ed that the sheriff must get out of the
"Jim Grow" compartment, but he
might take his three prisoners with
him, IL he chose, which he did choose.
In the smoker, a white folks compart-
ment, the appearance of the three
Negro criminals aroused angry feel
ings.
Here, captain shouted o tobacco
cropper, " we can't have no niggers in
this compartment"
The sheriff rose to make an expla-
nation.
Gentlemen, I've got to take these
three colored cOnvicts to Eddyville.
Now, If | can't go in the Jim Grow
because Pm white, and the prisoners
can't stay in here, bein niggers,
want you, gentlemen, to tell me how in
the thunder Pm to deiiv.r my prisoners
'cordin' to my instructions ?'
"Git out and walk" was the unani-
nous verdict, expressed vociferously,
and without seconds hesitation.
Meanwhile the train had gone a
matter of 10 miles from its starting
point. Nevertheless, the sheriff and
his prisoners had to get off at q small
wayside station, where the pied COM
bination waited some hours before q
freight train came along and hospit-
ably received them into 1t caboose.

'I love him almost as do my own
son, Helen. My husband died in his
| arms. Surely you must realize that his
great heart has belonged to you ever
since he first set eyes on your bonny
face"
Mrs. Daunton almost started to her
feet.
"Oh, not thati Surely not thatl He
is my good, true friend" she cried.
"Not the less your friend because all
your lover, Helen.''
"Oh, never my loverl have no right
II am not freep
"Listen to me, Helen" pleaded her
friend. "Shall one mistake blight
lifetime? know your short marriage
experience was cruel one."
1T was--heaven knows it was" +" as
sented Helen, shuddering.
'Then do not makoayouth' mistake
DEAR" continued Mrs Farrar, "and
think the story ended because one chap
ter is closed. thought my story ended
when they brought me home my dead
soldier. I've prayed many time my
story might end In tho years my first
born was an outcast. Helen, have
hardly spoken to you of my eldest boy,
but can tell you now that, standing
here tonight, realize how out Of sor-
row peace has come to me. Death,
which took away my husband, gave me
back my son..
"Deathp' cried Helen. "Royle Ear
rar is not-dead2"
Helen, how strangely you speak.
He has been dead q year, though only
recently did they give me all tho cruel
facts. Major Wayne learned them from
the consul in Mexico
In uncomfortable agitation Helen
Daunton had turned away. "Royle Far
rar dead!" she gasped. "Then I-oh,
God be thankedl"
The tears were binding Mrs. Farra1,
and for moment she saw nothing Of
Helen's agitation. The bells Of Leale's
sleigh came trilling merrily up the road
without. Hastily she dashed away the
pearly drops and, smiling fondly, drew
her shrinking friend to her embrace.
"Helen, dear, there is new look in
your face" she whispered.
'It is because rejoice in my soul
that your heart is ut rest. It is because
it is Christmas-Christmas, the time Of
burdens dropped, Of old sorrows healed,
VI uoW DlItnS ana SWEEP DoRlnnlnRS
Dear, the Christmas chimes are pealing
in my heart. 1t is the first real Christ
mas l have known in years. h." And so,
her arms twining about her friend,
she led her forth into the radiant day,
with all Its sunshine beaming In her
face. One minute only had they gone
when, crouching from the dressing
room at one side, his face bloated and
distorted, the soldier Graice sped swift
ly across the floor and stopped to'peek
through the eastern window. Suddenly
back he sprung and stood swaying at
the door Of the anteroom as Helen Daun-
Ion hurriedly returned. Coming from
the dazzling glare Of the sun without
into the dimly lighted room. she almost
collided with the hulking figure before
seeing 1t at all.
"Mrs. Farrar has left her cloak" she
faltered. "Will you kindly move from
the way2"
"You thought had moved from your
way" was the thick. husky answer,
"but you re mistaken, my dear.
Back she started as though stung, an
awful terror IN her staring eyes, her
blanohing face.
"You-RoyleF FarT hc"e" she
gasped. You-Royle Farrar Oh my
gracious God !"

when the left runner of the sleigh struck

moment later In striking hydrant IL was
righted and soon after the horse was
stopped. Mr.. Hayden's wife and child
were in the sleigh struck, but were not
thrown out, and the only harm done, was
slight damage to the back of the sleigh

him was pair of goloshes.
At o'clock driver of the City Coal Co..

evidently had been attached to a sleigh

merous conferences and the fact was evident
that something of an important nature
was to be enacted. 1t proved to be the
resignation of Alden w. Sibley, City Clerk,
which was presented in the Board soon
after that body came to order. The resig-
nation was accepted by both branches and
in Joint convention Assistant City Clerk
Samuel III. Roberts was unanimously
elected City Clerk.
The Common Council concurred with
the Board of Aldermen in the passage OF
the resolution making an appropriation oil
$1,000 for a new school house on the old

school building on Hancock street. The
Common Council also concurred in the
passage of the Board of Aldermen resolu-

ing appropriations for the current ex-
