You have here a young man, Jesse
Overstreet, who represents this district in
Congress. The Republicans say they want
a campaign of education. So do we. and
the best way to educate the people is to
discuss these matters before them. and I
here now challenge Mr.. Overstreet for ten

William T~hrelkeld. of Johnson. then
sprung a sensation by Offering q resolution
for the appointment of a district commit
teeman who should have full charge of the
congressional campaign with power to APP
point an assistant in every precinct. He
explained that this was the result of a con-
ference among the friends of silver from
both counties. who felt that they should
exercise the utmost vigilance. Taggart un-
derstood the insult and as soon as Threl-
keld had finished he was upon his feet. but
the Chair recognized Il. T.. Johnson, one of
the prime movers in the scheme to GUST
Taggart. and he tried to smooth matters
over a little by declaring that it was not
the intention that this committee should in
any way interfere with the regular organ
iZation.
Then Taggart let go. II want to saw
just a word" he cried. 1T has always
been the rule of the Democratic party that
the district chairman, who is a member of
the State committee, should have charge
of the congressional canvass and IL is his
business to organize as closely as he can.

This did not seem to greatly terrify the
convention and part of the crowd kept
calling for a speech from Galley, but one
man moved TO table the resolution. In the
meantime w. r.. Atkinson appeared in be-
half Of the Populists and asked that Coop
er be sent over TO talk TO them so they
could size him up. After he had gone
the motion to cable Threlkeld's resolution
was put and carried. Bailey was then
called out and declared his allegiance to
the ticket and after listening TO some
twaddle from Moon and Stuart, the con-
vention adjourned iE time 10 catch the

The Old Mules One Experience at Sled
ding Was All He Wanted.
One day last winter when the snow
was hard the boys in our part of the
town had fine time coasting down a
long hill. For a change they decided to
capture Ned ana make him draw them
through the streets.
Ned was an old donkey owned by no
one. He lived by picking up what stray
bits he could find ON the streets and
sheltered himself in an old shed. After
some hunting they found him taking
his lunch from an ash barrel. They let
him eat what he wanted so that he
might be as good natured as possible.
One boy ran home and brought some
pieces of old rope. Then they made
rough kind of harness.
Ned was kind enough to stand still
while they harnessed him. Then they
fastened their sleds together, with Joe
Browns in front, for he was to drive
Joe took up his cord reins and gave
the word TO Ned to get up. F" The dom
key only turned and looked back at the
dozen or more sleds to which he was
tied. / think he decided that the load
was too much for him. Joe used
switch ON him, but he hung his. head
and stood quite still. After waiting
some time the boys grew tired and be-
gan to unite their sleds. Ned looked
back and then made sudden start. He

that the boys had quite chase to get
on.
Ned found it easier than he expected,
or else he wanted to make up for lost
time, for he drew them up one street
and down another for half hour. Then
he began to slacken his pace, but Joe
urged him ON with his switch. Poor
Ned thought there was to be no end to
his task. An idea seemed to strike him
suddenly, for he rushed down the street
at a great rate.
On one side of the street was deep
ditch When Ned came to it, he leaped
across it, dragging the sleds at such an
angle in such way that they all tipped
over, leaving the boys in the ditch
Ned then started ON with the empty
sleds, making straight for his old shed.
| The boys found him there eating a whisp
Of straw. They took his harness off and
hung it up in the shed. But that was the
| first and last time they used it, for Ned
would never let them put it ON again.
To this day, if any one goes near him
with piece of rope, he will take to his
heels Our Little Ones

His lower limbs are paralyzed, and the

Yes" said the little fellow. II
might like it. but I'm happy where |

Justice Baldwin continued the case

The air is full of vague rumors but
in reality not much is known of the
actions of Sam Hall on Thursday after
he left Hiliger's. Geo. Boyes says
positively that he saw hin in Lancas-

La the afternoon he was in Fennimore
and inquired OF druggist Niehaus the
price of Rough on Rats On being
told Is cents, he asked if he couldn' t
buy it flor 10 cents. Receiving a
negative answer he left the store. He
was in the village of Fennimore as
late as 5 O'Clock. All trace of him
from that time until he came
to Tom Emery's is lost. Whether he
was alone and on the road from Fen
nimore home all of that nine hours OF
whether he was with anyone from
whom he could receive poison is a
matter of conjecture, 1t has not been
learned that he ate meal anywhere
after breakfast Thursday morning.
He bought crackers and ginger snaps
at Sitter and also at Fennimore. An
examination of his vomit at Emery 5
showed the presence of apple skins.
Where he got apples on that day the
district attorney has not as yet Ebeen
able to discover.
The coroner's jury meet this We'd
nesday evening to hear additional evil
dence and they will probably render
a verdict at that time.
The evidence thus far presented to
them shows death to have been caused
bv poison but throws not much light
on the theory OF suicide and the mys-
terry of Sam Halls conduct the last
dav of his life.
