THE TRANSvAAL.

A great many persons ignorant Of the
existence of the Transvaal are at loss
to understand the troubles between the
English and Dutch Beers and to wonder
how Dutchmen can be Africans. For
the information of these we will state
that Holland, some time during the
eighteenth century, located colony In
Africa, and this is now known - the
Republic of Transvaal and the people
are known as Beers. Boer, SO We are in
formed, is the Dutch name for farmer
or countryman. The Uitlanders, we
read Of, are foreigners, that Is English,
Germans, Americans, etc., who have
gone hither from time to time. The
English possessions about the Cape Of
Good Hope are adjacent to the Trans
vaal and the same grasping spirit found
in the average Britisher elsewhere is de-
velopingin Africa also John. Bull is in
clined to steal the Transvsal, but the
Dutch Boers object, and being . brave
and warlike people cause their enemies
to hesitate before undertaking the job.

from Louisiana paper, as = fair sample

TOM WATKINS.
DEADCINCH. COLORADO.

The plain. bold characters went sprawl
ing over half page of the hotel register
and many an eye cleaned in awe from
them to the tall dark haired stranger
sitting i'm the corner.
Never but once before in the history
Of the quiet Eastern village had man
from Colorado entered its peaceful pre-
cincts. and ne. during the twenty-four
hours Of his short stay. had nearly pun
mclcd the life out of the village bully,
threw the town constable out of the hotel
window, kicked the landlord through the
door of his own house, and ended by
clipping with the landlords two fastest
horses.
Mine host remembered this, and was
careful
"Stranger"-the barroom was crowded
but one could have heard a pin drop as
the landlord spoke-"Strangcr, I see you
hail from Colorado. Have you had any
trouble lately with the Indians there
Everyone I'm the room admire4 the cour-
age and address of the landlord.
The man from Colorado wheeled around

in his chair and made quick movement
toward his pocket. The barkeeper dove
like a duck behind the bar, dozen men
sprang to their feet for the door ana a
red-headed pumpkin leaped through an
open window near which he was sitting
and dropped kerchug into barrel full
of rain water.
The man from Colorado calmly drew
out his pocket handkerchief.
well. no. nothing worth speaking Of
he replied. a suspicious twinkle in his
black eyes. Though just before I left
home Whoop-Her-Up Bill and his band
of warriors attacked trolley car near the
City Hail and killed two men, three wo-
men and five children. But that's hardly
worth mentioning. because the next day
we lassoel the whole outfit and dragged
every red devil of them behind our horse
back TO Deadcinch and hung them like
n string Of beans around the neck of the
City Hal.
shooting? Well. I reckon Deadly Dave
and Pistol Pete might convince you on
that argument This remark was made
in answer to the landlords query as 10
what might be considered a good shooting
in Colorado. you see continued the tall
stranger. last summer Deadly Dave
stuck a knife through the heart Of Pistol
Pete's pard. and Pistol Pete vowed TO
plant the murderer alongside his friend
or he meat for the undertaken himself.
The next day the two met in front of the
postofHce and both fired the same in
slant Once. twice. three times, four
times. five times the heavy revolvers
spoke. yet. to the establishment of all the
onlookers. neither man fell. At the same
moment each dropped his heavy gun and
drew another from his belt, and the fir
ing went merrily on. Those weapons were
also emrtied with the same result.
Ten shots ut ten PAGES, and not drop
Of blood to show!
Dave and cPte both knew that Dead
cinch would never stand such tomfoolery.
Their chins sank on their bosoms. and
their faces grew white, like new drawn
milk.
For the honor of Deadcinch. string the
cowardly rascals up some one shouted,
and the crowd jumped on the two men.
Neither made a move to defend himself
nor lifted his head. Death was nothing to
the disgrace of having missed his man at
ten PAGES. The ropes were around their
cks and twenty muscular arms were
ready to give the fatal pull. when man
picked up a chunk Of hot lead. lying eX-
actly between the spots where the men
had stood and fired. The chunk was made
up of twenty revolver balls partly melted
and run together. The bit Of hot lead at
once told the tale of why the two men
had been unharmed. In Deadcinch II is
the custom to shoot your man through
the pistol eye. and Dave and Pete had
handled their weapons so skilfully and
been so evenly matched in quickness that
the halls had struck each other midway
and fallen. partly melted by the force of
the impact to the ground.
NO, we did not string up the lads. Col
orado knows better how to reward abil-
fly. Deadly Dave is now mayor of Dead
cinch. and Pistol Pete is IN the Legisla-
ture." and the man from Colorado wiped
his mouth and replaced his handkerchief
in his pocket.
Colorado must be devil of a place"
calculated the landlord, and every head
in the barroom nodded Observation-Disclosures
phia Times.

Illustration of Senatorial Disregard for
the Presidents Messages.
In former years, before the adminis-
tr2tion of Andrew Jackson, who made
the veto power infamous, a message
from a President expressing mis- disap
prOval Of legislation was a rare and
solemn thing. 1, was customary for
both houses to. adjourn Immediately az
ter such documents were read in order
10 signalize their importance. But now
vetOes are so common that they are al
lowed TO lie upon the table unopened
until an ODpOrtune time offers for their
presentation. Neither the speaker Of
the House nor the president of the Sen
ate will interrupt.the regular order to
hear them read, and they make so slight
an impression that Representative Beach
is reminded Of story that the Pittsburg
Dispatch published OF boy who heard
his father call him TO come into the
house and so to bed, but gave no heed
to the paternal command. Whereup0n.

yes, sir" was the reply.
"Then why don't you obey him?"
why, nobody obeys him any more"
was Johnnies reply. He keeps telling
everybody to do things and nobody ever
does them. He keeps telling everybody
that they mustn't do things and they
keep right on doing them ell the same.
Nobody don't pay any attention to him
any more. Ma don't, the hired girl
don't, and I don't and the dog don't,

New York, Sept. 2S.-The Democratic
State Committee met tonight in this
city to hear the report of the commit
tee appointed to notify the nominees
of the recent Buffalo State Convention.
There was a full attendance by the
members in person or by proxy, but
Senator Hill, who surprised everyone
by appearing at recent meeting of the
committee with a proxy and then made
sensational speeches in behalf of John
Boyd Thatcher, the Gubernatorial nom
inee, was not present this time. The
committee reported that Mr.. Thacher
had refused to accept the nomination
for Governor and the Judge Titus had
accepted the nomination for Supreme
Court Justice and that Wilbur F. Por-
ter, the nominee for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernOr, had placed himself in the ha
of the committee as candidate for gov
ernor.
The nomination was made unani-
NOUS as was that of Fred Schraub of
Lewis county for Lieutenant-Govern-
or. Mr.. Schraub came before the COM
mittee and made a short speech, pledg-
ing himself to the Chicago platform
and ticket and accepted the nominal
ton
