BIG HANS.
IA Story Of q Nebraska FARM

On Saturdays the regular Bloomfield
loxfers were re enforced by the big boys
and "hsnds" from the farms. At train
time they usually gathered down around
the station. pitching quoits or ''rssslin'.
Even on this late June day. 90 still
that the leaves did not stir. yet as you
looked down the track you thought the
air was 10 q very frenzy Of sizzling.-out
in the broad sunlight. Bill CROWNS and
Hank Turner were 'rssslin,'" each in
the regulation dirty drab shirt and
trousers. with suspenders and shoes
thrown Cd for the contest. The rest Of
the boys. sitting Imply along the edge
OF the platform. cheered or jeered oc.
casionslly, as one of them made a good
hit or failed in the attempt.
Come of, fellows, it's too hot" Pete
Hsskins called out at last. And soon
they all slouched over to the north side
Of the platform. to plank down, pow.
WOW like" Pete said.
Say" said Gordon's hired man, ANY

the circle. They knew pretty we'll that

to dry. Il wouldn't work for him il he'd

that amt his rate OF wages neither" he
concluded grimly.
Huh the crowd commented.
Hes as mean to his HOSES as hs 10 to

said.
BY gosh exclaimed Bill CROWNS,

This utterance OF good Bloomfield
doctrine seemed to end the discussion.
and soon they got up one by one. and
lounged out to the front Of the station
to zee the train come in.
The big worlds daily contingent to
Bloomfield was never very large. To-
day the full force of that ''abominabls

on a single stranger. He was a big blue
eyed fellow with a look which said plain

Lets send him down to Wahls.'
Some one suggested in low voice, as i
afraid the fellow would understand.
by gosh! that's the ticket!" Bill
CROWNS CALCULATED, also under hit
breath.
"All the came don't think Id send q
yaller dog down to stay at Wahl's,' Pete
Hsskins objected.
He did, however, enter into the
scheme, with the rest Of the boye, and
Martin told the big fellow there was q
good place open for him. They followed
when Martin took him over to the saloon
to End WabI. And he, after looking
the candidate over rather eagerly, mere
said, directing large squirt Of to-
bacco juice at the hitching post, "Come
along. there. And very soon he was
driving his lean ponies at their usual
mad pace out OF town, with Big Hans
by his side, lis white ha. with its blue
band set down tight on his head and his
little black satchel on his knees.
Il want one OF them there coffins.''
The clerk at work in the back part OF
the little furniture store looked up
quickly and laii down his vanishing
brush.
why, Mr.. Wahl, is some one dead at
your house?"
"Yee." was the gruff reply. Maggie
got the scarlet fever from the Meyers
young'un and she's dead early this
morning. What's the cost Of a coffin,
anyways? That one there's about her
size"
THAT is worth fifteen dollars" the
clerk answered. I'VE have some better
ones in stock though
Hell! 1 won't pay no fifteen dollars
for box to bury dead younsun in.
That old one over there won't cost
farm, will it?'
The clerk said he could let him have
that for eight dollars. "I1l fix it up a
little and replace that broken glass"
Il won't pay for no Skin. It's good
enough jest that way. and I'll tote it out
to the wagon. il you kin come down to
five dollars, and not blamed cent
MORE"
The clerk felt it would do no good to
object to the terms, though he hated to
see the coffin 60 looking that way. He
could only follow Wahi from the store,
picking up some gunny sacks to cover
the coffin from the dust of the road.
Il wouldn't bury a pet dog in that
coffin" he said to Pete Haskins, who
came up as Wahl drove off.

Yes. Maggie" was the clerks answer.
Maggie! Why she's the one Big
Hans had in town the day Of the par
ade, First time she ever came to town,

This was true, il it was only Dorcas
society gossip. Every one had roticed
her that day.-a wee little glrl for her
nine years, 90 shy that she trembled
with fright it any ore spoke 10 her, as
she walked along the street clinging
tight to the rough hand of Big Hans.
The Wahl children were all accounted

there were six older than Maggie-had

there was nothing else 10 do. But the
younger children were almost as afraid

BICYCLES IN BAVARIA.
They Are Becoming the Fad There
and Old and Young Ride.

Washington, Sept "a great bicy-
Gle craze has struck Bavaria, accord
ing to a report from United States Com
merciaI Agent Carpenter at Furth. He
says the old and the young can be seen
daily practicing in back yards, vacant
lots and along country roads, desper-
ately struggling to maintain an equi-
poise and the apothecaries are con-
stantIy doing a brisk business in Hni-
ments and court plaster.
A short time ago it was not consid-
cred at all proper for young ladies to
appear on bicycles, but the strong
uaIIy giving way and now the ladies,
married and single, and the young girls
are rapidly becoming enthusiastic devo-
tees of this outdoor sport. The two local
bicycle companies existing have begun
to increase their plants to meet the
rush of business, and two new COM
panies are about to embark in business
before the end of the year.
The consul thinks there seems to be
a fine opening for the American bicycle
maker, as good European wheels are
sold for an exceedingly high price and
they are certainly not to be preferred to
the light, graceful American machine.
The Germans will not buy on circulars,
but must see the goods, SO that the
proper way to reach the market is by
means of agencies supplied with wheels.
The duty, being assessed by weight,
IS small. not exceeding a dollar and
half for one bicycle The wheels should
be fully equipped with guards, bells,
brakes and lamps, all covered in one
piece, for the Germans do not like to

STARVING IN LIBERIA.
Colored CoIonists Who Went There
Last Year Tell Horrible Tales.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-The steamer
Waesland. which arrived here today
from Liverpool, brought back as pas
sengers six of the colored colOnists who
went to Liberia early in the spring on
board the famous steamship Laurade.
They tell of horrible sufferings from
disease and restitution by the unfOrtu-
nate people who gave up their homes
in this country to journey to Liberia.
Forty members of the expedition con-
sisting of 315 people, are already dead,
while the entire number previously ia
ken out on the Danish steamship HOrsa
have been carried off by John BulI"fe-
yer. Among the party returning is
Taylor Smith Of Forest City, Ark. He
says the country is unfit for civiliza-
ton and that those who went on the
Laurada are now penniless. They have
not sufficient money to get back and
certain death awaits them there, fever
carrying them off rapidly.
Several times they Joined together
and called upon the president of the
state for help. When the expedition
was made up it was represented each
man would be given a plot of ground
and other grants were to be given the
single men. Strips of land are given
them, but they had no shelter for sew
eral months. Provisions command high
prices and they cannot be secured by
these poor creatures and there is no
way to earn a living.

New York, Sept. 29.-Rev. Dr. Chas.
H. Parxhurst signalized his return
from Europe to the pulpit of Madison

by preaching a sermon on the political
situation. The church was filled, a
number of silver men who disapprOved
of the minister's views, being in the
congregation. Some of these made IN
flattering comments on leaving the
doctor was told of these comments he
remarked:
There is more in this thing than the
silver question, and some Sunday in
the near future 1 am going to speak
my mind about the treatment of labor
by capital. I will not mince words
either" One of the visitors to the
church was Treasurer William P. St

mittee. He did not wait to hear all the
doctor had to say.

CAPT. KOLB FOR BRYAN.
The Alabama Populist Leader to
Make Speeches.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 29.-Captain
Reuben F. KOlb, founder of the Popu-
list party in Alabama and twice it's
candidate for governor, and Col P. G..
Bowman, formerly state Populist
chairman and an influential leader,
will in a few days take the stump for
Bryan and Sewan and the Democratic
congressional nominees in opposition
to the Populist electoral ticket and con-
gressionaI candidates. They are the
leaders of the conservative element OF
the Populists in this state, and it is ex-
pected that the strong following that
they have will emulate their examples
Captain Kolb and Colonel Bowman
did their utmost to have the national
POpulist convention at St. Louis nomi-
nate Bryan and Sewall, and for that
were denounced by middle f-the-road
delegates from this state as traitors
Kolb and Bowman take the ground
that the surest way to secure the sue
cess of silver is for the Populists to
vote for Bryan and Sewan, and they
will preach that from the stump The
result is likely to cause the disruption
of the middle-of-the-road movement
and the accession of thousands Of Pop
ulist votes to the Democratic ticket
