JERRY HAS GOT EN-
JUDGE NKAY PRACTICALLY con-
CEDES HIS NOMINATION.
But the Judge Does Not Consider BIZ. simP-
ann the Strongest Man by . Good Deal
He Thinks Bashere Would Suis the feo-
ne Little Better and Make stronger
Raee-He Hlso Thinks That Campbell
of Stafford Would Make More AvAh'
able Candidate-He Says That Bryan
VIII be Winner.

Judge Mckay of Harper county was
in the city yesterday. He was up at the
court he use to see Deacon Wilson OF the
board of county commissioners and ne
then went up in the tower to see tne
city.
A great deal has been said pro and
con abou. Judge McKay's legal ability
but there is one thing certain, and tnat
is ne is very genial gentleman 10 c'n-
verse with. The fact that he was taken
from the farm and placed on the bencn
twice did not swell his head bit, and
he is as friendly and affable today as
ne was before he was thus honored.
He was in company with two gentle
men from Pratt county, both OF whom
were Populists.
"Yes," said Judge Mckay, 1--WE are
all for Bryan in our county, and we
think he viii win easily. / think the
Chicago convention could not have done
a wiser thing than they did"
How about Jerry Simpson,"
"Well, a few of us thought we wanted
somebody else, but it looks now like MI.
Simpson is going to be the nominee. We
can't tell, Of course, but ii looks a little
that way. If he is the nominee We are
| for him and will see that he is elected. "
"Who could you put up that would
| be stronger"
| 1--WE thought that Judge Bashore
| would be a strong man, but ii is a mat
| ter of personal preference. We may be
wrong. And then there is Campbell OF
| Stafford. / understand that his own

DEAD FROM HEART DISEASE
Fast Bicycle hiding Ends in the Death of |
Hutchinson Boy.

Hutchinson Boy.
Gold Smith, Hutchinson boy, died
Saturday afternoon from over exertion
In riding a bicycle. The News speaks
about it as follows:
Saturday afternoon Gold Smith and
Roy Mcfarland rode 10 Partridge on
their wheels TO witness ball game.
In the evening they started on their
return and came very fast Near the
poor farm they met a team and buggy.
One went on one side and the other
on the other and in crossing in front
of the team the pole OF the buggy
struck GoIdie in the side, knocking
him from his wheel. He sat down at
the side of the road and rested few
minutes and teen with the remark
that he thought fhe was not hurt much.
mounted the bicycle and resumed his
trip Mcfarland was leading and did
not notice Smith, when at the south
end of the Arkansas river bridge he
got off his wheel, put his hand TO his
| side and fell.
Several people saw him and hurried
| to Goldfe's assistance. He never even
spoke to them and beyond groan or
two gave no sign Of life. Doctors were
quickly summoned but he was dead
| when they arrived
1 An examination made by the physi-
clans resulted in a. verdict that death
| was the result of heart disease, has
| tened by the scorching ride.
AT first it was thought that the blow
| from the buggy tongue had been a ma
| terial cause OF the death but the ply
sicians pronounced il entirely due to
the overexerttion- The boys came
| from Partridge to the bridge in one
| hour and four minutes.
| Gold Smith, or "Goldfe," as he was
| Familiarity known, was a bright young
man, popular and industrious. He
| had been a member of the firm OF
Smith Bros, but sold his interest some
| time ago 10 Fay Smith
Gold had been working for the firm OF
| Smith & Smith and had just laid off tc
| take the Partridge trip. He ia the son
of Mrs. Sallie Smith, 227 East Seventh
and the bereaved mother and brothers
| have the sincere sympathy of a large
| circle of friends. He was II, nearly Is
| years OF age.
