About two weeks ago l concluded not to

IN THE DRY GOODS EMPORIUM.
Town Cat Chased n Mouse Into the Mo.
lasses and Stirred Things Up.

From the New York Sun.
A midsummer quiet rested upon Mr.. Ger
ber's dry goods emporius in Sayville yes
terday. MIR. Gerber and his half dozen
clerks We're drowsily awaiting for the ar
rival of closing time. Two young women
were paving tentatively at an assortment
of silks. Mr.. Gerbers big cat sat in the
doorway feeling for a breeze with his
whiskers. 1t was a calm and peaceful
scene.
Enter small mouse upon the peaceful
scene, mouse with a sad lack of judg-
ment. 1t scurried across the floor in full
view of the head clerk. Exit the two Gus
toners with whoops of chagrin.
Hey. Tom, Sic EN-" cried the head
clerk to the big cat. not meaning the Gus
toners, but the mouse.
Tom, the big cat, doesn't understand dog
language. but the squeak of alarm which
the mouse emitted woke him up. BY this
time the mouse had bolted into molassss
barrel and stuck fast in a morass of. mo-
lasses. In went Tom also. When he
emerged it was with laggard feet, trail
ing thick sweetness. The mouse, covered
with molasses, was in his mouth. His fur
was shiny with moiasses and his whiskers
reeked of it. Mr.. Gerber and all his clerks
said "scatr' simultaneously. Tom misun-
derstood. He suspected they wanted that
mouse for themselves. So he bolted but
not out the door. Instead he went straight
down the aisle. The entire force started
in pursuit. Dcdging basket which was
hurled at his head with evil intent, the cat
ascended the counter in one leap and pro-
ceeded to prance disastrously upon the out
through an open window, leaving wrath
and profanity behind him.
Mr.. Gerber has on hand a stock of water
ed silks of unique pattern.

in the hope of thereby securing the impo-
sition of an Ubiquitous and unconstitutional

FLYNN's AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
Battling the Allied Forces of Democ-
rncy and P0pulism.


Cheyenne, o. T, Sept. 6-(Specfal0 Del
egate Flynn addressed a large crowd Of
homesteaders here last night. Four-fifths
of his audience have been lifelong Demo-
Gratis, but when a man is a friend to them
and works to give them free home for
their families as has Delegate Flynn. they
recognize his true worth and stand by him
to a man. Flynn will undoubtedly carry this
county. though the local Republicans are
too weak to keep up an organization.
While en- route here from Taloga yester>
day Mr.. Flynn and his driver visited the
scene of the battle of the WaShita, where
Custer at one time surprised the allied
tribes asleep in their village and slaught>
cred a thousand or more Indians, scat
tered the rest and burned the village. His
men shot a herd of 800 ponies on the hills
above the river and their bones are to be
seen there in great heaps yet. while great
pile of stones in the valley marks where a
number of soldiers and several officers fell.
The campaign which Mr.. Flynn is max
ing is certainly without precedent, and the
present trip of 1000 miles in a buggy, with
all his belongings in a space twelve Dy
eighteen by six inches. is one that few
men would care to undertake, driving from
thirty to fifty miles day and speaking
every night, visiting innumerable farm
houses along the way and shaking hands
and speaking a few CHEEKY worIs - the
occupants, but 1t is a campaign that counts
and will result in his triumphant re-elec-
ton over the combined forces Of Democ-
racy and Populism.

gether. the Populsts ami their side, issue
allies are engulfed in trouble The mat
ter of public speakers from abroad is
troubling them in twofold manner. Those
they want probably won't come, and some
that are not wanted cannot be induced to

The greatest trial is the probable failure
OF w. J. Bryan to come TO Topeka for the
encampment, at which time It had been
confidently expected he would have pretty
nearly clear field for the capture Of wa
vering votes. --..., ,,sr,.-
When it was announced that Major Nc
kinley would be unable to talk to the old
soldiers the last Of September. the reform
ers were inclined to await the reunion
with degree Of pleasure. Bryan would
nent Republican could serve up free sill
contradiction.
Now they are confronted with parallel
for the Republican misfortune. Mr. Bry-
an has engagements to talk In New York
and the South, which will keep him occu-
pied until September %, after which time
he. has arranged for tour of New Jersey.

speech was scheduled for October 3. the
II IS now stated that Mr.. Bryan's attend
ance was never definitely promised. He
was invited by the reunion committee in
q letter sent to Lincoln. Neb., and which
II was expected would be forwarded. That
letter has never been answered.
Some possibility exists OF securing a sue
cessor for Mr.. Bryan in the event of his
absence becoming a certainty. This. how
ever. leaves the free silver element in prac-
tically the position occupied by the Re-
publicans.
Nearly as strong an effort Is being made
TO keep Tom Watson out of Kansas as to
in6uce Bryan TO come in. Watson has been
delegated by the national committee TO do
some talking in this state and Chairman
Breidenthal cannot arrange any good plan
for thNartng the movement.
. Chairman Marion Butler of the Populist
party, wired Mr.. Breidenthal few days
ago, asking II Mr.. Watson could be used
to advantage in Kansas. He explained
that the Populst vice presidential nominee
would make three speeches in the state,
commencing September 10.
The proposition was not accepted with
any alacrity Mr.. Breidenthal notified the
national chairman that the dates would
conflict with others already made, but this
plan of avoidance didn't work, and Mr..
Watson will appear according to sched-
ule.
The Kansas chairman Is a supporter of
the ST. Louis ticket, but he desires to live
up 10 his compact. After making every ef-
fort 70 have Watson electors nominated
al the Populst state convention. he was
forced 10 become party 10 the compro-
mise by which the Kansas electors must
vote for the candidate who would win the
greater number Of votes without this state.
II Watson is forced upon the state, the
committee Will probably distribute his
speeches between Fort Scott, lola and
