CALDWELL FOR PRES.
The POpuIiAt Editors Favor His Can
didacY Very Strongly.

The POpuIist Editors Favor His Cam
didacy Very Strongly.
DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 27.-The fifth an
nuaI meeting of the National Reform
Press association, composed of nearly g.
900 populist editors, has been character
lied by unusual harmony and enthusi-
asm. Much quiet talk has been in
dulged in regarding presidential posi-
bilities and the platform to be adopted at
st. Louis in July. Mr.. Sibley of Penn
sylvania is discussed, and also Senator
Allen Of Nebraska. The name, however,
which evokes the greatest enthusiasm
and which is on every body's lips is that
of Judge Henry c. Caldwell of Arkan-
sas. 1t is urged in his favor that he is
recognized as a friend of the working
classes and an avowed enemy of cor
porate greed; that he is the only living
appointee of President Lincoln, and ex-
pressed himself unequivocally as indors-
ing the Populist platform. Besides, his
residence in the south makes his candi-
dacy desirable, as it is conceded or all
sides that, all other things being equal,
the nomination should go south.

NEW BUILDING ON QUINCY.
The smith Manufacturing Company
Will Put UP n Fifty Foot Front.

The Topeka Midway, which is situated
On the east side of Quincy street, between
Sixth and Seventh, is to disappear. It
has for long time been the resort of
horse traders and side shows, but two
lots have been sold out of the center,
and a new two-story building is to be
erected, and this will necessarily destroy
the use to which the place has been put
for several years.
The two lots were purchased of B. NJ.
Davies by d. C. and L. A. Smith. The
numbers are $50 and 622 and the pur-
chase price was $4,000. The gentlemen
have not fully decided upon the style of
building that will be erected, but it
will proba bly, be a two story brick cover
ing the entire lots. The building is to be
used a factory for trusses aud other
appliances for the use of invalids manu-
featured by the Smith company and work
is to be commenced this spring.

Her hair was golden hued,
A bit inclined to red.
While truant locks. like birds in docks
Went circling round her head.
She passed him on the street.
Then disappeared from sight
Within a door that on it bore
''Stage way" in letters white.
She acted in a piece
Called winning Wowan's Way, -
And, having sent for seats, he went
That night to see her play.
He wondered if she'd dance,
Or play a comic role,
Or throw her art into part
To harrow up ones soul.
And so that night he went.
The play was awful rot.
He worried through acts one and two,
And yet she cameth moi.
The last act she appeared.
Alas, ungracious fatesl
She bent her head and all she said,
"My lord, your carriage waits.''

over the cast which was seen here few
months ago. There was also better
organization and better singing. When
the company appeared here last fall
many of the mem bers were new in their
parts, and with some of them the new

Henderson has replaced them with new
people. Louise Kissing, the ''Sinbad" of
last night, is the original "Sinbad," and
pleasing singer. Miss frankie

sweetheart, got too much powder
on her nose last night. and looked
like frigh t in the first act, but it shook
off gradually, and she was rather capti-
waiting in the last act. Oscar Girard, as
the comedian, Fresno" was guilty of the
same offense az the man who played the
part upon the occasion of the prior en-
gagement, his costume being dirty. He
was also guilty of shooting a snipe:"
revolver is discharged at an object on the
floor, and with cry of delight he
springs forward and and picks up half
smoked cigar. Think of such a wormy
chestnut in a $3.50 show? 1t is as bad as
stumbling over pin. Girard is fairly
good comedian, but somebody should
Call him down OH his snipe shooting act.
The audience last night was larger than
was expected, the upper floors being
crowded. The chairs on the first floor,
on account of the price, were less than
half filed. The scenery was admirably
handled. David Henderson the mana

corporal finally dumped him out in front
of the dog. We were gathered in two
lines, and the rabbit had to run for the
dog to get clear of US. The dog was APP
parently ready for a row with one of his

and started off at full speed. The jack

and bumped him for all he was worth.
The dog made two complete circuits of

then finding the rabbit close at his heels
jumped into the river and swan across
and thus got away. The stranger looked
on without word, and when the affair
was over he handed down a $40 bill.

The little rag doll is queen,
Her realm is a naiden's heart,
And there she viii reign serene
And play her important part.
A bundle of rags is she,
With collar of scraggly fur;
She's only doll to me,
But more than doll to her.
A doll that thought prize
I gave to the little maid,
That opened and hut its eyes,
And beauty of face displayed,
But somehow it seemed to me
She never received the care
daily and hourly see
Bestowed on doll less fair.
The doll that can really talk,
The doll in the silken dress,
The doll that is made to walk
Lies lonely in some recess;
Forgotten and pushed aside,
1t lies in the dust apart,
While that of the rags, in pride,
Is held to the maiden's heart.
The doll is doll to me,
A bundle of rags and fur,
And yet am quick to SEQ
It's more than a doll to her.
And 50 it maintains its place,
Unrivaled it holds its own;
In rags and a painted face
1t stands in her heart alone.
