SIMPSON AND SILVER.

This has been another week of good
meetings. So far as the western coun-
ties are concerned there never was as
much enthusiasm aud as large crowds
as are now attending our meetings.
DIGIIToN.
Some of the good populists of Ness
county drove US to Dighton. We were
met one mile east of Dighton by long
procession of teams and horsemen car
rying suitable banners and notices. 1t
Is said that Dighton never had larger
crowd than upon this occasion. Jerry
spoke for two hours and was followed
by Judge Milton, Dodge City. Here is
where Charles Lobdell, speaker of the
last legislature, lives. 1t is well known
that the speaker of house is largely
responsible tor the work OF that house.
Now Charlie is pretty good fellow
as men go, but unfortunately for him,
his legislature failed to pass the maxi.
mum freight bill. as passed by the SEN
ate, thereby losing to the farmers OF
Lane county many hundreds OF dollars
by reason of excessive freight rates.
No one doubts for moment but what
our nominee, Mr.. Sears. will be elected
and his vote will be cast for free sill.

There were great many republicans
present but they i,either wore Their

quite in contrast to q lot of hoodlums
who disgraced themselves and their
party at Ness City and Dighton.
LEOTI.
This is the county seat of Wichita
county. The meeting was held i'm a
wigwam which had been prepared by
both parties. Jerry and the Judge
both sDoke-then your correspondent
took hand-and, by the way, the 2. O.
p. boys yelled. 1t was concluded then
that somebody's toes got badly mashed.
When the speaker said that in his
opinion Frank Grimes voted against
the maximum freight rate biIl-known
as senate bill 235-Mr. Grimes arose i'm
the audience and said he voted for it.
OF course that may be true but IN
House Journal, page 1919, the bill was
reported by the committee on railroads
with the recommendation that it do
not pass. Mr.. Grimes was not mem
Der of that commute, still he might
have voted 70: it in his sleep.
Tribune-out on the Colorado line
gave the two men, Simpson and Mil
ton, good audience. Many came i'm
from Colorado and Wallace county of
the sixth district. Many people are
leaving that county. There will not
be over 200 votes there this fall.

A Child's wonderful Memory.

Baby Ethel Carroll Oakland is human

no matter how long-names. dates, figures
and bits of 0ratory of all degrees OF merit,
songs and Jokes spoken in her presence
she il able to recall, word for word. even
though it be week or months after. says
the San Francisco Examiner. At her age
for she is only years Old-much that
she hears. no doubt. is quite unintelligent
to her. She simply repeats everything
from memory without knowing ought Of
the text of her words. At the Hotel Crel-
lin, where she lives with her parents, she
Is the idol and wonder of all who know
her, tor she Is as pretty as she is clear.
The first time that the child showed her
phenomenal trait was at the age OF IL
months. At that time she was taken to
see one of HOyts plays at the MacdOn-
Ough theater. Upon returning to her
home she surprised everyone bv repeat
ing word for word, one of the popular
songs.
From that time until now little Ethel
has been regular playgoer. Now, at the
age OF her memory has developed SO re-
markably that 1t Is a common thing for
her after seeing new play to sing, with
out q mistake or the least hesitation, song
after song that she has never her before.
She can also repeat the lines of the play
with wonderful correctness. The child
has retentive memory for names and
dates. In spite of the fact that large num-
bers OF people see her daily, drawn by
curiosity, she never forgets the name Of
anyone who is introduced to her, and can
even tell the exact date when she first
met them, though 1t may be months after.
Recently her wonderful memory was
put to severe test at concert recital in
Oakland. After the performance she was
asked If she remembered certain recita.
ton on the programme remarkable alike
for its length and peculiar phrasing. She
had never heard it before, but with con-
fident smile and certain enchanting
careiessnoss of manner she recited the
entire piece without q break.

A Little Book.

On the steamship Spree, which arrived
few days ago, there was imported thin
little volume of odly eight pa ges, the ap-
praised value of which was 81. 900 says the
the New York World. The booklet is
Latin translation of letter written by
Christopher Columbus, giving a report
of his discovery OF what ne supposed to
have been only some islands of the coast of
India. Stephen Pianuck, printer. of
Rome, struck of few copies OF the
translation in 1893. Not all OF them are
now to be found.
In the Barlow sale Of Americana, at the
American Art Galleries in 1889, a COPY of
the Plannck edition, identical with the
one that came on the Spree, was sold to
Brayton Ives tor 81, 800.
There Is dispute among the authorities
as to whether or not the edition of the

books is the first printed reproduction.
Mr.. Eames OF the Lennox Library, saws
that no two authorities agree as to the
priority Of date of the publication OF Co

the letter, while r. NJ. Major, of the

that 1t Is the first. Ellis. in the HUH cat

Bartlett also placed this particular edition
