the ticket. Ii was also made in the teeth
of an opposition SO bitter that after the
convention adjourned some of the radicals
held trump" convention. The last ses-
sion of the convention, which lasted
from 8: 30 Saturday morning until almost
o'clock that afternoon, was marked by
scenes of turbulence and noisy excite
ment which several times bordered on
actual riot and which almost precipitated
personal collisions. One fist fight did
occur. A Rhode Island delegate was
elected and West Virginia delegate, i'm

The Bugle on Men-of-War.

Many of you know what an important
part the bugle plays in military opera
tions on shore; how it assemblies vast
bodies of men, deploys them for battle,
regulates their fire, and sounds the
charge which even dumb animals un-
derstand and obey, in a desperate rush
for victory. The voice of the COM
mander gives the order; but since his
voice can reach only those near him..
the bugle takes it up, and carries it in
piercing notes to the most distant ear
So, too, on board of a man-of-war the
bugle is used to make an order pene-
trate the uttermost parts of the ship
from deck to hold, from stem to stern-
and from quarterback to masthead.
From morning till night it is calling
officers and men to routine duties, and
in battle it is directing nearly every
movement and inspiring them to their
utmost endeayor.-St. Nicholas.

Rats Ate Live Cows

Farmer J. r. butcher, of ParksyilIe
N. Y, few days ago noticed that his
cows were growing languid and worn: +:
then the hair in various places disa1-
peared, and what seemed to be sores an
peared. The sores grew larger and each
morning when he entered the stable he
noted new and large ones, some as large
as a mans hand, with blood trickling
from them. Monday it was discovered
that rats were the cause of the misfor-
tune. The rats had become so starved
that they would attack the COWS and
eat into the flesh of the defenseless ami
mails, which were fastened in the sta
BILE by stanchions, which did not per-
NIT COW to bring it's head in contact
with any part of the body. Mr.. butcher
dispensed with the stanchions. and
since the change the rats have had to
dispense with a beef diet.

Boy Mysteriously Shot.

A very mysterious case of shooting oc-
cured the other morning upon the farm
,f John Hobschidt, near Plattsmouth,
wherein young Vogtlman, a recently re-
:eased inmate of the reform school, played
the principal part. Vogtlman and a
young son of John Hobschdt were in the
.ornfield and the other members OF the
family were at work elsewhere on the
farm, when the report of pistol shot
was heard. Upon investigation young
Hobschidt was found lying in the corn
with bullet wound in his thigh. Upon
inquiry he said that Vogtlman had shot
him, but either wouldn't or couldn't give
any further information. Vogtlman re-
fused to volunteer any explanation what
ever, and the cause of the shooting is at
present mystery. The boys wound was
found to be dangerous one, the bullet of
a 22-caliber having gone right through
the limb. A physician was summoned
and the wound dressed and as yet nothing
has been done with the boy who fired the
shot,

TWENTY-TWO DEAD.
Victims of the Terrible Cloudburst
in Colorado.

Victims of the Terrible Cloudburst
in Colorado.
At Morrison, in the foothills seventeen
miles from Denver, Col, where twenty
two persons were drowned in the food
Friday night, people were terror stricken
when they saw the second storm ap-
preaching Saturday afternoon. The
storm con tinued with steadily increasing
force until o'clock, when black cloud
of unusual density began to gather in the
vicinity of Mt. Vernon, few miles from
Morrison. There the cloud burst, and in
an instant wall of water came down the
gulch six feet higher that was ever seen
before. Everything in its path was
washed away. The raging torrent carried
along with it houses, barns, trees and de-
bris of all kinds. The flood in the gulch
the evening before was light compared to
this. 1t is hoped that the residents and
campers in the gulch, realizing their dam
ger, had all escaped to places of safety be-
fore the flood came. Every house in Nor
riSon is flooded, water having spread all
over the place.
Below the town there have been search
ing parties along the creek seeking for the
uncovered bodies of the dead in Friday
nights disaster. There are fears that
members of these parties have been
caught in this last flood. Families at.Mor-
rison are afraid to occupy their homes,
not knowing what time they will be over
whelmed in flood. OF the twenty-five
persons drowned at Morrison, only thir-
teen bodies have been recovered.

TRADE STILL LANGUISHES.
The Week Begins with Depression,
but Rallies Later On


but Rallies Later On.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: The week began with ex-
treme depression in stock and speculative
markets, owing to the heavy outgo OF gold
and the fall OF the treasury reserve below
the minimum. Then came a sharp recov-
cry, with the union of the banks to turn
$40, ,000, 600 gold into the treasury and the
efforts of International bankers to control
foreign exchange. The gold reserve has
been quickly lifted above the $l00, 600, 900.
Wheat receipts at western points have
been 1925, ,257 bushels in three weeks,
against 4, Ass, ,443 last year. Atlantic ex-
ports for three weeks, -four included as
wheat have been 4, ,663, l47 bushels, against
2,522, ,053 last year. In spite of contradic-
tory accounts, the impression grows that
the crop may as much exceed official es-
Inmates as it did last year.
Wool sales at the chief markets for the
week are the smallest ever known, being
only 1870, ,450 pounds, of which 842,050
were domestic. against Ia, ,S01 ,250 last year,
of which 6,231, $50 were domestic. Prices

Failures for the week have been PSI in
the United States, against 202 last year,
and 90 in Canada against q last year.

The Age of Fish.

'The age of fish is almost unlimited"
observes an official of the fish commits
sion, in reply to a question. Professor
Baird devoted a great deal of time to
the question as to the length of life of
fish, and he found that the ordinary
carp, if not interfered with, would live
500 years. In his writings ON the subject
he stated that there are now living in
the Royal Aquarium in Russia several
carp that are known to be over 200
years old. A gentleman in Baltimore
has had an ordinary goldfish for sixty
three years, and his father informed
him that he had purchased it over forty
years before it came into his posses

BOLD HOLD-UP ON A TRAIN.
Passenger on orthwestern Limited
Robbed ut Omaha.

The Northwestern officials notified the
Omaha police that one of their passengers
on train No. 2, the Chicago limited, had
been held up and robbed while the train
was leaving the city. The particulars
furnished the police headquarters are
rather meager. 1t is only known that the
passenger in going from one coach to an
other encountered two men on the plat
form who covered him with their revol-
yers, getting his ticket, baggage checks
and about all the money he had. After
robbing their victim they swung off the
train before it got fairly out of the yards.
The passenger went on to Boone and re-
ported the affair to the division officers at
that place and they notified the Omaha
police by wire. 1t was also stated that
the passenger would return and endeavor
10 assist the police in capturing the ban
dts. The passenger returned ON one of
ihe later trains and gave the name of j..
Silver. and said the highwayman got $40
ii money, two baggage checks and his
railroad ticket.

Blackmailer Confesses.

A few years ago Ed Marty, young
farmer of Dodge County, was acquitted
IN the district court ON the charge of
criminal assault on one Rose Copeley.
Interest in the case has been revived by a
letter written by the Copeley woman to a
friend at Fremont, in which she says she
iwore falsely on the trial and that Martin
was justly acquitted. Public opinion at
the time was strongly in his favor and his
friends regard this letter as a further
vindication. The Copeley woman says
the charge was made for the purpose of
eXtorting money from Marty,
