lNhCtietu OTtuuuy SSiCufutiuu
Mrs E. B. Jones celebrated her Goth
birthday last Sunday evening at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. L. j. Rose, on South
Grand avenue, with beautiful and very
enjoyable dinner. The table was unique
and artistic, with candles and floral decora-
tions. Four ropes of smilax frightened
with pink carnations swung from the chan
delier to the corners of The table, and were
held in place by French bows of ribbon
grass and clusters of pink carnations
standing erect. Trailing over the table
in graceful lines we're strands of smilax,
and in the midst of all was brilliant star
of ninety candles of different colors. The
venerable and charming hostess was the
recipient of many remembrances from her
friends, and the rooms were made lovely
with floral offerings which came with COLI
gratulations and best Wishes. Those who
enjoyed the delicious menu that was served

War i'll the Choctaw Nation,

FORT SMITH, Ark, Aug. 26-Trouble
which has been brewing for three
weeks in the Choctaw nation as q re-
suit OF the election of Green McCur-
tain as Governor, bids fair to end in
warfare. McCurtain's residence, sixty
1--WE miles southwest of Fort Smith, is
now guarded by forty men against
threatened attack by about the same
humber OF men, members Of the Buzz
card party, composed largely of old
lime full bloods and many negroes.

cent election. An uncontirmed report
reached here by passengers north
bound that McCurtain has been killed

he vas also active. Since the conven.
ton he has, it is said by his friends
here, given nc public utterance as to
his position with regard to the Chica-
go ticket, and, SO far as known, has
not, at least actively, allied himself
with the movement for the Indianap-
oils convention.
Governor Francis throughout his DO
ltical career has been a strong sup
porter and a warm friend of Mr.. Cleve-
land and the administration. 1t is re-
called, that when Mr.. Cleveland was
at Lake Wood making up his cabinet,
prior to entering upon his second
term, Ex-Governor Francis was sum-
moned there, and there was a strong
impression for a time that he would
be given a portfolio.
After the nomination Of Bryan and
Sewall it became known that Secre.
tary Smith was the only member Of
the cabinet who announced his pur-
pose to support that ticket. This &C.
ton on his part, while not in any way
affecting his personal relations with
the other members of the cabinet,
seems SO material! to him that he felt
constrained to tender his resignation.
Ex-Governor Francis is one of the
best known among Western politic-
ians. He has always been a great a6-
mlrer OF President Cleveland, and has
been mis- spokesman in the Southwest.
During Mr.. C.eveland's present admin
istration, Mr.. Francis has practically
dictated all the appointments made in
the Eastern section of Missouri, and
has been consulted on all Western ap-
pointments.

BE SENDS FOR BRYAN
HILL INVITES aTHE CANDI-
DATE TO HIS HOME.
He VIII Support Bryan--That is the Con-
struction Put Upon the Matter by the
Politicians-An Important Epoch in the
Fortunes of the Campaign.

UPPER RED Hook, N. Y, Aug. 25.-
The fact that William j. Bryan, Dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency,
will take luncheon with Senator Hill,
the leader of the party organization
in this State, became known yester-
day to the little party of politicians
irhabiting the Red Hook hotel and
Inspired more anticipatory discussion
among them than any other incident
OF the candidates Eastern trip.
Everyone assumes that Senator HILL
has resolved TO support the nominee
OF the party, else, they argue, he
would hardly invite him to sit at his
table. And the luncheon is taken as a
practical announcement Of Hills de-
termination, which is expected to be
followed by a more formal declaration
of the Senator's attitude.
Mr.. Bryan will arrive in Albany to-
morrow afternoon and will have two
hours for refreshments before the
speech which he is billed to make.
He will spend the two hours, accord
ing to the programme which has been
arranged for him, at Wolfert's Roost,
the handsome residence which SeDa-
Hill bought of Fritz Emmett, the
actor.
The visit having been arranged so
that the Democratic candidate and
the enato may come to an under
standing, if they have not. already
done SO, will mark a distinct epoch in
the campaign.
The fact of the invitation from SEN
htor Hill, which message comes, it is
understood, through Chairman Hink-
lev of the state committee, is taken
by the politicians here as an answer
to the question which has stirred the
state since the day Of the Chicago
convention, as to whether Senator
Hill will support the ticket. ,
Yes erday a dreary rain bedraggled
the village all day and kept most Of
its inhabitants in doors. In the morn
ing Mr.. Bryan drew on an overcoat
and plodded through the mud with his
host, Mr.. Perrine, to one of Red
Hooks two churches, the w%orshiplng
place Of the Dutch Reformed com
municants. He tool an inconspicuous
side pew and was one Of perhaps an
hundred who listened to the sermon
by DR.. Robert II. Barr, Of the Asso.
ciated Reform church of Newburg.
After the services the minister and
members of the congregation pressed
about Mr.. Bryan to shake his hand.

ST. Louis, Aug. 26-Fusion in the
doubtful counties is to be made the
order Of the day by the Democrats of
this state. 1t is the intention of the
state committee to bring about a
union of the Democrats, free silver
Republicans and Populists in every
county where the Republicans canno!
be otherwise routed. There are TWENTY
nine counties which are considered
reliably Republican. A little figuring
has shown that out Of this number
eight counties could be certainly car

publican rule and four others could
oe carried with a little better organ

ments have been made. Since then notice Of change
of dates has teen posted at the Creedmoor range,
and the commanders OF some Of the regiments say
that thcy will be put TO much Inconvenience on
that account. They think that General Whitock
has perfect right TO make the changes, but that
the notices should he sent TO regimental head
quarters, and not posted on bulletin board.
There Is reason why the next notice should
not be posted In Office said an officer OF the
