How many of yo'?"
"Only one."

"a horse"
"Waal, yo' stay right on that horse

He left the house by the back door
and came around to NE, holding a can
die in his left hand and a shotgun in
his right. After taking a long look he
asked:
Wizard yo' come from?"
"Bristol."
"What fur?"
"To see the country"
"Got any shootin irons?"
"No. But what's the matter that You
are St suspicious:"
WAL, l want to know who is who

"What chances?"
"Why, my boy Jake is out coon hunt

HISTORIC TREE BADLY DAMAGED
Top of Magnolia Planted by Wash
ington Broken OF by a Storm.

Washington, october 22.-It has Just
been discovered that the storm which
swept over Washington a week ago de-
stroyed one Of the most precious relics
at Mount Vernon. the homestead Of
Washington. This was a tree planted
by Washington himself and which had
weathered the storms of almost a CEN
tury 1t was a magnolia planted in
1899, the year of Washington's death.
This great tree, which has been look
ed at and talked about by millions of
people and about which so much has
been written. had about fifteen feet OF
its Top blown Off and its trunk split
down distance of four or five feet. The
tree before the storm was perhaps
forty feet high. 1t was brought from
Currs Neck, on the James River in
Virginia, when it was three years old,
and was transpalnted by George Wash
ingtOn Immediately upon its arrival
at Mount Vernon.
The top broken Off during the storm
will not be destroyed, but its leaves will
be preserved or given to those who de-
sire them as mementoes. The wood,
part of which is solid, will be used in
manufacturing miniature souvenirs.

Elected

Astoria, October %, 1896,
To the Editor
II Mr., Bryan should be elected, then
the average silver bug will, on his reg
ular pay day. receive his full wages In
bright silver dollars which he will take
home TO his wife with great pleasure,
and both will look upon the great pile
of sinners with delight, The next morn
ing the silver bug viii go forth to his
work with Il light heart, while his wife
viii take a few Of the silver dollars
TO their silver friend, the grocer, and
other groceries, She knows the price
of the goods, and has taken with her
just enough Of the bright dollars to pay
for what she has ordered and offers
them TO the grocer. who has always
been an honest silver bug prior to that
time. but now, by some presto change
arrangement, seems to have got the
gold bug ideas mixed with his own.
Mr.. Groceryman viii be seen to look at
the dollars and say; Madam, II you
can make It convenient to pay for these
goods in gold, the same as you have
always done, you will very much oblige
me, The fact is that flour is selling in
London for just as much gold as before
Mr. Bryan was elected, and that gold
VIII buy just as much silver bullion
now as II would then, which is Just
thlrty-three times as much silver in
weight as the gold, And as these silver
dollars here are only sixteen in silver
to one in gold, and there will be put
few months before the silver bullion
can be coined here free at 16 to /, l
can really not let you have the flour
for these silver dollars without losing
nearly one-half of what IL will cost
me to replace 1t, and 1t is just the same
with the other groceries. Sugar costs
just as much now in gold in the Sand

cream with them. Many Of the visit

two delegations were expected. but by
night the six largest organized bodies
which have yet come TO Canton had
called at the Mckinley home, besides
thousands Of other people. The streets
were as crowded as on the big Satur-
day jubilees,
The escort committee had not pro-
vided for such an out-pouring of peo-
pie, but the crowds were well ordered.
Women marched in line in great num-
bers. Major Mckinley appropriately
termed this ohio Day." as he could

SENSATION EXPECTED.

the Populist committee. left for Nash

win meet Thomas E. Watson and Ma

Washburn held long conference this
afternoon with Chairman Jones, of the
Democratic committee, in a final at
tempt to settle the dispute over fusion
in Georgia What the result of the
conference was, Washburn absolutely
refused to divulge. 1t is positively
known, however, that it was unsatis-
factory to the Populist chairman. In
teresting, not to say sensational de-
velopments are looked for at tomor-
rows meeting Of the Populist leaders at
Nashville, and it is probable that as a
result Watson's now famous letter Of
acceptance may soon find its way into
print.
