II. r. Hamlin Stops Runaway Horse
A Daring Deed.

No man living j anxious. and hut few
have the nerve, TO attempt to stop run
away horse; fewer still succeed when they
do attempt it. The man, therefore, VINO

serves, and, III an appreciatiye community
ike tiIswurt b. receives the plaudlts of ali
admiring public.
T he time was about 10 o'clock on Tues
day, the occasion, a horse that became
frightened in front Of the Manning block
and dashed furiously down Main street.
The man WIS Hannibal +. Hsmlin. Ellis

good fellow, modest to fault.
Mr.. Hamiln happened on the street Just
a. the runaway passed his office; there
was no time for deilberHtIon: no time to
entertain any other proposition there
was one thing to do, and he did it. 1t
being useless TO attempt the horses head,
he Jumped for the pung, caught il, and
ws- whirled from rs feet in the act.
Then came the test; splendid display
Of natural strength enhanced by long
and systematic training, quickly landed

ST. LOUIS GETS TT.
PopuliSts will Hold Their National
Convention There on
July 22.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 20.-A meeting of
the executive committee of the Peoples
party national committee was unexpect-
edly called Saturday night to consider
some new propositions presented by the
Business Mems league of st. Louis
After discussing them for some time the
committee decided to hold the national
convention in st. Louis on July D.
The national committee adjourned
after referring the location of the cou-
vention to the executive committee. This
was done as a result of Robert Schill-
ing,s active fight for Milwaukee. He
made most energetic effort, the Globe
Democrat saying that his speech car
ried the committee by Storm st. Louis
was determined to have the convention,
and when this city, after the adjourn
ment of the committee, raised it's bid to
100000 he was compelled to give UP the
fight, as he did not think milwaukee e
could cover that amount.
The feeling of the committee was prac-
tically unanimous in favor of Milwau-
kee, all things being even, but the mem
bers desired to raise a campaign fund
and the big bid practically compelled
them to accept its offer.

POPE MADE NO OFFER.
No Negotiations with This Govern
ment as to Arbitration for
Venezuela.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 17.-Cardinal
Satolli has not rendered the services of
Pope Leo as arbitrator in the Venezuelan
controversy, nor has the cardinal re-
ceiyed up to this time any intimation that
he will be called upon to offer the serv-
ices of the Pope in that capacity. This
is the answer given at the residence of
the cardinal in response to inquiries as
that the Pope had taken this step
through the American delegate. There
has been no communication, official or
otherwise, it is stated, between Rome
and the delegation on this subject. 1t is
pointed out that Cardinal SatollIs func-
lions are of clerical and not of official
character.
1t was but year ago the Pope ten
dered his services as arbitrator. spe-
cial delegate being sent to London for
the purpose. AT that time Lord Rose
berry, then premier declined to accept ar
bltra ton. This was accepted as final by
his holiness and i'll communication from
Rome to President Crespo regret was
expressed that there was no prospect
the papal mediation would be accepted.
No further steps have been taken so far
as is known here.
In other official quarters no informa-
ton can be obtained respecting the re-
ported Intervention of the Pope in order
to bring about a peaceful settlement of
the boundary dispute, but it is learned
on excellent authority that matters are
proceeding on lines that, it is believed,
will result in an amicable adjustment,
though as stated in yesterdays ASsociat-
ed press dispatches from Washington,
no intelligence as to the channel or pre-
else mode by which this is to be brought
can yet be secured.
