LEAP YEAR clubs are forming in many
parts of the country. The general idea
of the clubs is to give private social
Tarties at which the girls take the part
usually taken by men. They invite the
young men, call for them and escort
them to and from the place where the
function is held, and, it is alleged, foot
the bills.

The convention will assemble at noon
and after the address of senator Cor
nelius r. Parsons, as temporary chair
man, and the appointment of commit
tees a recess will be taken, probably
until p. m. At the evening session,
after the report of the committee on
contested seats, the permanent organi

Dental electors will be nominated
The business of the convention will oc-
cupy but small part of the evening,
but after it is concluded the conven-
tion will be resolved into ratification
meeting, and the enthusiasm for Nor
ton will be given full vent.

LET IT WAVE.

The following letter brings All impor-
tant matter to public notice:
EDITOR TELLER-Dear Sir: Al the
exc, cises of Il. 4. r. at Masonic Hall,
last Tuesday, reference was made by
one Of the speakers to the flag on all
Public Schools, and the exercises con
nected with it, to instil into the minds
Of the children loyalty and love for
the flag.
1t seems to me that Lewiston chill
dren have more loyalty than their par
ents, when the school flag, bought
with the children's money four years
ago, has been stored in the Court house
ever since, for the lack of "a flag staff,
which a few dollars would buy.
Mr.. Editor. is another Fourth OF
July to pass without the flag in It's
proper place over the Public school.
Will you bring this matter before
the public through tn. columns OF
your paper.
Yours truly,
r. w. EDMUNDs.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE TREES.

Why tear us grand old popIars down:
Long have our branches waved,
And many breeze has stirred our
leaves,
And many storm we've bravcd.
Our branches tow'ring to the skies
Have made for all crown;
And we have shaded those who crowd
ed nigh
TO see them tear US down.
Without mercy, down the sun will beat
Upon the streets of our fair town,
And people feel the brOiling heat
And compilations will be brown.
And then they'll wish us back again,
But well never more return;
Though We'll watch unseen, from tree
land green
Yes, watch those people burn!
That's how we'll wreak our vengeance,
And perhaps you'll call it cruel;
But tell me If it's not as bad
To burn us up for fuel.
They'll break our noble branches
And cut us up for wood,
When they might just as well leave us
To do the world some good.
We beautify this city
AS all who've looked have seen,
And tourists saw we're beautiful
And we look like bower green.
The children play meath our branches
From our tops the song-brds call
But the children and birds desert us
Wher they see us tOtter and fall.

MONTANA
Comparatively, We Have Mild Weather
in Wyoming.

Helena, Mont. Nov. 26.-It has been
showing here constantly since 3 O'Clock
Tuesday morning. and is still showing
with no signs of abatement. The snow
is unprecedented for Montana for No
vember. Since election day it has
showed almost every day. and tonight
there is almost two feet of snow. In
higher altitude the snow is from five
to eight feet deep. The storm is gen.
eral throughout Montana. The rail-
roads are commencing to feel the eff
fects Of the storm, as they are unable
to run on schedule time, being several
hours late, while the stock on the
ranges is in a serious condition. Losses
Will probably be large if a let up does
not come soon The sheep throughout
the state are mostly in, and no appre-
hension is felt for them.
In Helena but one electric car line
is running, and that on no schedule
time. Old-timers say it is the worst
November for cold and snow within
their recollection. The thermometer
has not risen above 10 above zero for
over a week in Helena. and has gone
as low as 10 below. Throughout the
state it has been considerably colder.

IT A NOTHING.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The attention
of a prominent war department official
was tonight called to the reported
statement of Col. Alternately Of the
Fourth New Jersey National guard.
that he had received orders to report
to the department on condition and
equipment Of his command, and that
his regiment has been selected to hold
itself in readiness to move to Florida
en- orders from Washington. The Off
cial referred to knew nothing of the Or
ders. Every year the secretary of war
in his annual report makes a state
ment concerning the strength of the
militia. 1t 80 happened the informa.
tion required by the department from
the secretary's report this year was
lacking from some of the states. and
it may be that New Jersey was one OF
them. in which cast the request for the
data has been sent in the regular way.
The same official also pointed out the
extreme improbability of the militia OF
state being sent into another in
time of peace.

TAKEN FOR 4 LION.


\ special to the Denver Republican
from Craig. Routt county. Colorado.
says
While hunting mountain lions last
Saturday Willard Hauck was acciden-
tally shot through both legs by a COM
pan!cn named Carl Monroe.
The accident occurred about II
O'Clock in the afternoon and the young
man did not receive medical attention
until neon of the following day. the
scene of the shooting being on Will
inns Fork. about 80 miles from Craig.
The nearest surgeon was DR.. jefferson
of Hayden, who responded to the call
and did all in his power to relieve the
sufferer. II is feared that Hauck will
have to have both legs amputated. The
ball. a i5-ca!iber. 3%OO-grain. entered the
left leg above the knee. passed through
and crashed into the right leg. causing
very dangerous wounds.
The young men had trailed a noun
tain lion into thiCket and were endeav-
Oring to roUt it from its hiding place.
Hauck proceeded around the thicket
while Monroe kept watch. Hauck sue
ceeded in reaching the opposite side
sooner than Monroe anticipated and
was sanding on a log with only his
legs exposed to view. Monroe mistook
Hauck's legs for the mountain lion and
fired his rifle, with the above results.

WE'RE WITHOUT PROVISIONS.

Havana, Nov. 26.-It %transpires that
at an engagement fought in the Rubi
hills between Spanish forces under
Captain General Weyler and the in
surgents under Maceo, the Spanish
ccmmander-in-chief and his staff were
without provisions for SO hours. The
train with the supplies on board was
detained, but Gen. Weyler would not
wait its arrival and urged his troops
onward regardless Of the absence OF
the provision train.
Col. Zamora, in command of Carde-
mas district Of the province of Matan.
zas, has caused the arrest Of DR.. Pedro
Hevid, Benito Jose Maribona, a lawyer,
and Laurico Orbek, an employee of the
Cardenas railroad. These arrests were
the result of disclosures contained in
the letters recently found upon the per-
sons of some captured insurgents. Ad-
ditional arrests are expected.
Captain General Weyler has issued
orders to the farmers In the provinces
OF Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas
to carry the crop Of corn to the gari,
scned towns and the railroad officials
have been Instructed to provide the
farmers with cars and mules with
which to facilitate the transportation.
The corn will be sold to the soldiers OF
the Spanish columns and will be used
for military purposes.

Fishes.

1t is not generally known that fisi
yawn. The writer saw a turbot yawn
twice and IL cod once, the latter being
one Of tho widest yawns accomplished
by any animal Of its size. The yawn Of
IL turbot, being something not common
ly seen. deserves particular description.
A turbot's mouth is twisted on one
side, rather n if it had belonged to u
round fish which some one had accident
ally trod III and squashed half fiat. The
yawn begins ut the lips, which opens AZ
if to suck in water. Then the jaws be-
come %distended, and it is seen that this
is going TO be q real. genuine subma-
rine tish's yawn. But the yawn goes on,
works thrC ugh the back Of its head, dis
tending the plates of the skull and
comes out at the gills. which open. show
tho red inside, are inflated for a mo-
ment, and then, with a kind of stretch
ing shiver Of its back, the fish flattens
IL again. until, if unusually bored, it
relieves itself by another yawn.-Pear-

T FORTY YEARS.

Lagrange. Ind, Nov. ga strange
story has developed near Center, a lit.
tile settlement in Steuben county, by
the reuniting Of husband and wife aft.
er 40 years separation. William Weld.
ner disappeared from st. Joseph coun,
ty. Michigan. which was then his home
in 1856. His wife did not give up hope
of his return until 1864, when a letter
alleged to have been written by her
husband or his dying bed solved the
mystery. The letter came from Los
Angeles, Cal, where Mrs. Weidner be,
lieved her husband died. Mrs. Weld.
ner donned widows weeds and mourn,
ed her husband as dead. She subse-
quently married John T%ompkins, and
to this union six children were born.
Tompkins died in 1886.
Yesterday Weidner returned to find.
il possible, his family. little believeine
that his wife was alive. He found in
g~ray-headed Mrs. Tompkins the bride
Of his youth. and as husband and wife
they will live together again. Weidner
went to tine cosat to speculate. and sev
erul fortunate business ventures have
given him possession Of a comfortable
fortune.
The theory Is advanced that the let.
ter sent Mrs. Weidner was part OF a
conspiracy to murder Weidner at the
time, as he was the owner Of severa,
valuable mining claims.
