The call ior the Democratic county con-
vention, which appears il another col
umn, was issued Yesterday by the execu-
tive committee. al meeting held in
Hoquiam. This convention is called for
the purpose OF electing delegates to the
state nominating convention. 4 new
county central committee will also lie
selected at this time, to conduc, the cam
paign, and it is therefore important that
every precinct be fully represented at
this convention in older 10 assist in the
selection OF this committee. and in the
selection OF delegates 10 the state conyen-
ton, and also to discuss county affairs
with reference to the election.

airy meetings in the outlying districts be

Incorporated cities and towns on Friday

OF these meetings cannot be everest

The honesty, fidelity, sincerity and
patriotism OF the Populst leaders will be
subjected to very severe test at the St.
Louis convention. They have a special
reason for frequent utterances Of the
prayer, LEAD us not into temptation
and deliver US from evil" Mark Hanna
committee recognizes the fact that union
OF the Populists, Democrats and silver Re-
publicans will render the defeat Of Nc
Kinley certain. Very nearly all the Pop.
ulists are entirely satisfied with the Dem.
ocratic platform, and but for the in.
fuence Of selfrh leaders would vote for
the Bryan electors in November. The
national Republican managers realize
the importance Of an independent Popu.
list.c ticket, and that it Will be good
politics to contribute any sum which
mercenary leaders may demand to pre-
vent coalition with the Democrats.
The leaders have but to open their
mouths wide to have them filled, II
they spurn the profcred Doodle and re-
solve to support Bryan they will prove
their devotion to principle. The argu-
ment OF mercenary leaders to hold the
rank and file in line will be. that it would
be death to their organization to affiliate
with any party. Ninety hundredths Of
these come-outers from the old parties
do not care fig what becomes of their
organization If the desired reform can be
effected. They recognize the silver ques-
ton as the supreme issue now, and that
other reforms await the right decision OF
the money contention. No money con.
sideration, or offer of official patronage
can influence the vote OF an honest,
Populst.-Cincinnati En-

His Curiosity Aroused.

Edison George Thompson, proprietor
and publisher Of the st. Paul Dispatch,
recently chatted with a reporter.
Il was travelling through England
and Ireland on foot with a knapsack on
my back and In company with face
tious friend Of mine named Morrison, I"
observed Mr.. Thompson in the course Of
conversation that touched on miscel-
lany Of subjects, land in our wander
ings we came to an Inn
1T was late at night, but by the
bright moonlight we were enabled to
see that the sign had counterfeit pre-
sentiment Of two asses heads, with this
not unfamiliar legend inscribed over
the picture:
When shall we three meet again!'
1--WE stood for moment gazing at it,
when Morrison went to the inner door
and began to thump upon it with his
cane, while the echoes rang through the
house.
II was just going to expostulate with
him over his unseemly conduct when
an upper window was thrown open and
the innkeeper thrust out his head and in
an indignant tone demanded what in the
name Of all the demons under the earth
we wanted
"'That's all right, old man. Don't
get excited, called up my friend. There
are only two asses heads ON the sign,
and just wanted to see the other one.
And with that we started up the
road. "-Washington Post.

Jenny Lind Sang For Him.

The late Edward V. Eccles, the vet
eran musician, was fond Of telling this
anecdote Of his youth: ut was about
the beginning Of the war;" he invari-
ably began. II was then clerk in a
large music publishing house on Chest
nut street. One day we'll dressed.
quiet little woman entered the store and
asked me to show her some music Of q
classical nature We struck up quite q
conversation, in the course Of which
asked her if she had heard the great
Jenny Lind. who was then the talk Of
the town. She laughed and said: oh,
yes ! have heard her. Have you? 1
told her that hadn had that pleasure,
and that I had very little prospects Of
hearing her, the price Of admission was
SO high. She laughed again, and then
she handed me song she had picked
out and asked me to play the accom-
paniment for her while she tried it.
She sang so beautifully that I played
like one in dream When she had fin
ished, she thanked me, and with rare
smile she said. You cannot say now
that you have never heard Jenny Lind"
She thanked me again, and left me
dumfounded. "-PhiladelDhia Record.

The inventors are doing their best to
devise ways by which 10 dispense with
the use OF wood. Matches consume a
large amount OF wood in this country and
Europe. While match manufacturers are
experimenting with different kinds Of
timber so as to be able TO substitute some
thing for pine, an inventor steps in with
a paper match. II is great fad to make
things OF paper nowadays, from car
wheels TO butter dishes The paper
which is made into matches is strong
and porous, and is immersed in a solu.
ton OF wax, stearine, ard similar sub
stances, and burns with a bright, color
less flame. Nothing is said about how
the matches are igni,ed. or whether they
are stiff enough to scratch on the south
side OF the person, as Mark Twain would
say.-Northwestern Lumberman.

The old coaching days, as far as con-
venience for travel was concerned, were
the dawn Of the great days Of our pres
ent rapid means Of communication. The
20 years or 50 in which mail coaches
waxed and fiour.shed and finally died
out before the incursion Of railways and
steam engines have u decided flavor Of
romance attached to them, and no doubt
the coming and going Of stagecoaches
lent a certain amount Of color and in

towns through which ran the great main
coaching roads. The Bath road, the
Dover road, the York road were high
ways Of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots Of the country magnates, and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity Of clockwork.
These stagecoaches, with their CON-
plement Of coachmen and guards, af-
forded endless subjects Of interest and
illustration to the artist and the literary
men Of the day. Imagine Charles Dick

A Conjurer Appears Before the Sultan.
The subjoined amusing anecdote is re.
lated Of renowned conjurer He had
travelled over almost the whole world
when he sought to try his fortune before
the sultan Of Marocco After having
successfully entertained the powerful
ruler with several clever tricks he deter
mined upon closing the entertainment
with the following wonderful perform
ance. Taking snow white and gray
pigeon, he appeared to cut off the head
Of each and then to place the white head
on the gray pigeon, and the gray head
on the white pigeon, after which they
few away just as though nothing had
been done to them.
The sultan was very enthusiastic about
this performance, and having ordered
two Of his eunuchs, negro and ma
tive, to be brought forward he command.
ed the conjurer to cut off both their
heads and exchange them as he had done
in the case Of the pigeons. The perform
er was somewhat taken aback ut this
peremptory request, but managed to re-
tain his presence Of mind and said
through his interpreter: Pardon, yom
most gracious majesty, my apparatus
today Is only arranged for pigeons, and
not for men. I require at least IA days
to prepare for the desired performance. I"
"Good!" replied the sultan, "the extern.
sion is granted" The conjurer hurried

The Ten Horned Texan Cow.

The most wonderful Of the many
Texan freaks and monstrosities that has
ever came under our notice was the IA
nous "ten horned Jack county cow.
This remarkable freak Of nature was
born In Jack county, in the state above
mentioned, in 1887. She was literally
horns from head to foot" At the ter.
mination Of each Of her four legs, in
the place where the regulation split hoof
should have been, were monstrous crook
ed and gnarled horns, seemingly solid
Of the clear and semitransparent, finely
plicated material characteristic Of the
horns Of the bovine family, but appear
ed more like rams horns than anything
else In 1891 or 1892 these hoof horns
had grown to such length averaging
over feet each) that the COW was taken
Of the range and sold to Mr.. Manley
Of Paris, Tex
At that time, besides the horns which
were used In the place Of hoofs, she had
four others on her legs-one where each
dew claw" should have been. These
dew claw horns, in addition to those
just described, make total Of eight
horns, which, with the two on her head,
made the total Of ten. The man who
owned this queer beast before she was
taken from the range, Mr.. Oliver, re.
peatedly sawed these extraordinary
growths of, but they were SO persistent
and grew SO rapidly that she was finally
sold, because 1t was an utter impossible
ity for her to Craze and stand up on
hornlike stills which made her legs
from IS inches to feet longer than
they should have been.-St. Louis Re-
public.
