Senator Teller, of Colorado,
has written letter Of cougratu
lation to Mr.. Bryan, the Demo
cratic nominee for the Presi>
dency, III which he says:
I will not offer any suggestion
to you, save to advise you that as
you were nominated without
pledges of favor or privilege to
any one, that you maintain that
position and make no pledges OF
promises, so that YOU may 60
into the great office of President
of the United States without
the embarrassment that follow
pledges and promises, even II
they are such as may properly be
carried out.
This is excellent advice that
the Colorado Senator gives Mr.
| Brayan. NO man ever secured
| Presidential nomination free1
from pledges and promises thar
the present Democratic candidate
and while there has been some
talk that certain leaders of the
Populist Party would require
pledges of him before they would
lagree to give him their support
he can very we'll afford TO rejec
all such overtures, as from pres
eDt indications the Populls
leaders will be powerless to pre-
vent the masses of that part
from voting for hin.-Norfol]

SERIOUS CHARGE.
A Wife's Complaint Against Her
Husband.

Fred w. Needlein, a carpenter, with
q wife and four interesting children.
was arrested last night by Captain Ash
and Officer Taylor on a charge Of
threats to do great bodily harm.
The complainant is his wife, who ap-
piled to Chief Drew early in the even
ing for protection, saying that her hus-
band had threatened to kill her and
had really made an attempt to do so.
She exhibited some ugly bruises and
decorations on her neck in evidence OF
IN assault she says he made last even
ing.
Two responsible citizens who are
neighbors OF the family escorted Mrs.
Needlein to the Police Station. They
said that her husband had her down
on the floor and was apparently trying
to get at his pocketkntfe when the
neighbors interfered. They also said
he had, in the presence Of a score of
witnesses. sworn to take her life. He
had also frightened one of the children
by his threats Of violence.
Mrs. Needlein told Chief Drew that
she had been subjected to brutal treat
ment for several years, until at last she
had become actually afraid her hus-
band would kill her.
Needlein was not drunk when taken
to the Police Station, still he did not
seem to be just right. Whether he was
partially under the influence Of liquor.
or whether he Is naturally excitable
and eccentric" remains to be deter
mined. He told the officers his wife
was to blame. but the neighbors speak

cause he has been remarkably efficient
during his first term in advancing all
the interests Of his district. He has
begun the work Of securing for the
state the payment of it's claim Of 81
OuO,OOO against the general Government
and has carried 1t so far that success
seems within reach and should be sent
back to complete it. This amount will
be a boon to the taxpayers, and If a
new member is returned, stranger to

he cannot hope for success as Mr. John
son can. The Sacramento Record
Cnion," writing on this subject, says:
For more than a quarter Of a CEN
tury our Congressman have wrestled
with the claim fruitlessly. It remained
for Congressman Johnson to devise and
start to success a plan of getting the
money; a plan that has already re-
ceived the approval of that department
OF the Government that has heretofore
proved the insurmountable- obstacle in
the path of success"

charge and we'll In hand 1t should not
be committed to the care of a new
member who cannot be expected to
understand it as the author does and

RIDING UNTAMED CAMELS.
Methods of Evincing DispIeasure That
Are Convincing.

The last communication from Pro-
fessor Elliott, of the Field Museum ex-
pedition in Africa, dated April 9th
gives a humorous account of the pro-
fessor's men breaking camels.
You can imagine" 1t reads, 'fthat
there's a circus around here while the
instruction is going on. When the un
tanned camels arrived I heard a tre-
mendous growing in front Of the door,
and on going out I saw one of these
amiable beasts being led by his keeper,
but walking along with every express
sion of disgust, both in his counte-
nance and his voice. The man stopped
ditto cameD and attempted to tie the
beasts forelegs together, when it
reared, and striking out with its fore
feet, landed on the keepers stomach
and head, sending him flying through
space as if shot out Of a cannon. The
man picked himself out Of ditch with
hand on each bruised part, and the
camel, which had never ceased roaring
was taken in charge by two other and
more robust natives and led to the
tents, or rather induced to go by the
energetic assistance of very sharp
iron rod applied In most vigorous and
miscellaneous manner. Similar ex
hibitions are being conducted daily
and we are now ready to lead the re-
Gently broken camels. Within three or
four days they are said to become
tractable. 1 formed my opinion of a
camel forty years ago when / rode
across the Arabian deserts, and I see
no reason to alter it in any way. The
creature has so many talents aIAl SO
many ways Of exhibiting them And
to begin with, 1T can kick harder
higher, swifter and oftener than a Vir-
ginia mule, and can use all four feet
at one time in kicking match. Then
1t can bite worse than vicious horse
and buck in a way to make a broncho
blush with absolute shame. No cowboy
ever lived who can stay on that perch
seven feet from the ground during a
cameps exhibition Of gymnastics. Then
he can run away whenever he feels like
l., and he Is often seized with a desire
tc slope. Upon an occasion of this
kind his rider experiences a sensation
between being blown up with dynamite
or struggling against the throes Of an
earthquake until all his joints are dis
located, and he drops, a limp, inert
mass to the ground.
Then this sweet creature has a way
OF evincing his displeasure that is at
least effective and convincing He
twists his snake-like neck into a cir
Gle, and, poking his ugly nose in the
face Of the rider, opens his cavernous
mouth and lets out a roar Of disgust in
such fetid breath that the elevated
human victim is fairly blown into the
middle Of the coming month "a week
being too short a distance). And yet,
with all these high recommendations,
which some people might consider OBJ
jectionable, these are the dear animals
am yearning for."-Chicago Times

LUCK IN MINING.
A Man Missed the Chance of Taking a
Million.

gram from Denver had not announced

knife on my baby boy for hernia lost
more than 81 ,OOO.O 600 but stopped the
knife. and my boy is healthy and
rugged"
These were the words of a gentleman
seated with a group of prospectors a few
evenings ago. which led up to a number
Of stories relating to similar incidents.
Il knew a man more fortunate than
myself. however, who grasped his OPP
portunity," continued the speaker
Dave Brown Of Aspen gave prospect
or $50 worth of lumber and one-fourth
of the Aspen mine. Brown was then
stock clerk. He is now a millionaire,

TITS not always mama cement that Sc
cures a fortune" ventured another Of
the group. 1T was luck, pure and SIM
pie, that made Dick Swiclxheimer a mill
ionaire. He knew nothing about MIN
ing, but a miner told him to sink, and he
did sink. He ran out of money several
times, but others, who were interested
In learning what greater depths he
would encounter on Dolores Mountain,
loaned various sums, and at last a lucky
lottery ticket drew $4,000, and this
money reached the ore in the Enter
prise mine"
Yes, luck has great deal to do with
it," said the third speaker. Several
people in Durango had an opportunity a
few years ago to get into the Columbus
mine in La Platte for few dollars,
when the Dutchman who located it
owned it. I knew one Durango man who
had a good chance to buy the mine for
less than $500, the price received, who
had spent twice as much in trying to
find something like the Columbus"
Chances Nike those are often over
looked in Durango said another of the
group. There was a little fellow down
there from McQuiety a couple of years
ago showing some good-looldng ore
from claim, which he offered to trade
a quarter of for rife. He went to the
gun store and all over town trying to
trade for rifle and the kind of gun
he wanted was selling secondhand in
stores for So or Sc, but the little fellow
couldn't get rifle. saw the property
last fall that he offered to trade, and
saw some of the ore roasted in a black
smith forge. Gold boiled out of 1t very
freely, and I doubt If all the guns in San
Juan County would buy a quarter inter-

EFFECT ON THE DRAMA.
Why Hermann Would Not Accept a
Mexican Managers Offer.

Albert Lewis, the agent for one Of
the principal theatrical circuits Of Mex
leo, is at present in New York on a
booking expedition. Yesterday he called
on Hermann. the magician, and the
Fne egotiations between the American
Snowman and the Mexican manager,
while they came to naught ofar as they
are concerned expose the helplessness
OF the silver dollar when attempting to
stand alone on its own legs. Mr.. Herr
mann has been to Mexico before, and
came therefrom several years ago with
much profit to himself. He was willing
to go again. and agreed upon a route
with Mr.. Lewis for the season Of 1898
Fand 1899.
Il will give you 70 per cent" said
Mr.. Lewis. Hermann was satisfied
and the Mexican rose to go, saying:
'|Of course, when 1 offer IS per cent.
It is understood that the settlement is
to be made on a gold basis"
WELL" replied Hermann, in aston
ishment, you are the first individual tc
my knowledge who has ever attempted
to adopt a private financial system by
which to transact an international
business. You like to rise above the
Inconvenience of your own laws, Ell? ?"
1T seems to me only a fair PROPOSE
tion," said Mr.. Lewis. when you play
in Mexico you will double the price of
your tickets. When you return tc
America your Mexican money is ex-
changed for American money, and of
course, shrinks in the exchange Now,
I merely propose that we take the gross
receipts and reduce them to a gold
value theoretically, and that give you
70 per cent. Of that value
"In gold?"
In whatever money is taken in at the
box office"
We'll, | am OF such fool as I look, /"
said Hermann, and the Mexican man
ager went away in sorrow.
When he had departed Hermann re-
marked: "If Bryan was in the dramatic
business or any other business, for that
matter, he would not be 50 anxious tc
put this country on a silver basis. There
Is one point that has never been brought
out in all this discussion of the effects
of a silver victory. If America adopts
silver standard every European at
traction that comes here will demand
just double the amount Of the present
prices for seats, and many of them will
not come at all."-New York Tribune.

HELPING l IN 100000.
Free-Siiver Idea Expounded for the
Benefit of the Weaker Sex.

She-I don't just understand this free
silver business; what does 1t mean, any
how?
He-It means, my dear the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at ratio
Of 16 to /, which gives uncoined silver
the same value the Government sets on
coined money-a value about 30 cents
per ounce greater than the actual value
Of silver as a commodity. For instance:
Suppose I found a silver nugget; in
stead Of disposing of it for a paltry go
or 65 cents per ounce I can take 1t to
the mint and get 81 16 in nice new silver
dollars for it,
She-Who pays you this extra so cents
per ounce?
He-The Government.
She-But isn't the Government the
people?
He-Of course
She (doubtfully)-Well then, if the
people pay the man who finds the mug
get fifty cents an ounce more than it is
worth what do the people gain?
He-They gain the. everlasting graft
tude Of the man who finds the nugget
She (perplexed)-But I don't think
that would be a good law.
He-Oh, yes, it would-for the man
who found the nugget.-Puck.
