THE BRYAN TElEGRAMS.
Were Not Made Public for Fear of Split

NAu6 s"C
ST. Louis. July 27.-The Bryan lead
ers of the convention consulted all the
evening concerning the kilograms
which have passed between Candidate
Bryan and Chairman Jones of the
Democratic national committee and
which are in the possession of Tom Pat
terson and are to be used when the
Bryan leaders deem best. Many Bryan
men have been informed of the sub.
stance of the dispatches and have been
much disturbed about them, as they
fear that Bryan's determination rot to
accept the nomination unless Sewall is
also nominated will not be reconsidered.
The reason given by those who urged
that the kilograms be not read was that
The Temper of the Delegates

At the evening session the sensation
Of the convention was sprung. The
Democratic managers had consulted
after ii had become evident that Sewall
could not he nominated and Mr.. Bryan
had been communicated with by tele-
graph. They decided that Mr.. Bryan
could not be induced to desert his rum
ming mate. and word was sent to the
leading Bryan managers in the conven-
ton that the Silver Knight eff the West
Would Not Accept a Nomination
unless Sewall was nominated. The con-
vention for five hours listened to NOM
mating speeches in profound ignorance
OF this fact. Tom Watson Of Georgia,
Congressman Skinner of North Caro-
lima, Mimms of Tennessee. Burkitt Of
Mississippi, Page Of Virginia and Sew
all OF Maine were nominated. About II
o'clock the Bryan men decided to
spring the sensation. Senator Stewart
Of Nevada was selected to make the an
nouncement, coupled with & plea for
uniting the silver forces. But the anti.
Sew"ll crowd were in the saddle. They
howled dCwn the venerable senator,
and. after a hurried consultation, the
leaders decided not to permit the an.
noUncement to be made at that time. 1t
seems undoubtedly true, however, that
Bryan would not accept the presiden-
tlal nomination unless Sewall is also
nominated.

Robert Smartwood, a wealthy csttleman,
who arrived at Topeka the other night from
Beaver City, No Mans Land, bordering Ok
lahoma on the west, confirms the brief press
dispatch announcing the corporation of a
company by seven young woman school
teachers for the purpose of raising and graz
ing cattle in that country.
No Mans Land, once the refuge of Grim
inals in the southwest, because hone of the
surrounding states or territorial courts had
jurisdiction over it, has been changed into a
rich agricultural and stock country.
This reformation is due largely to 40 reso-
lutte women, who are now in charge of the
50 public schools Of Beaver county. Seven
of the sc young women teachers met in Beaver
City recently and organized the Panhandle
Cattle company, the intention being to in
vest their surplus earnings from teaching in
the cattle business. Captain Smartwood
says the A. young women in that territory
will join in this enterprise. He says over
80 of them have taken claims of 100 acres
each on the Beaver river, and will till the
soil in summer and teach in winter. The
women receive $50 per month for teaching
a six months term.
The 40 teachers will earn $7,2co per
year. One half of this amount is to be an
nually invested in cattle for the range,
which is the finest on the continent. The
women engineering thi, scheme have
pledging each other not to marry within five
years.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Natural soft Soar.

A party of gentlemen from the east, who
have been hunting and fishing during the
past month in the Big Horn mountains and
basin, met while there with a pertinent
illustration of the natural marvels Of the
great central west, says the Denver News.
This was nothing less than the discovery of
q series of pits or watts of natural soft soap,
the excellent quality Of the product showing
that old Dame Nature is well competent,
when in the mood, to hold up fully the end
of her string as a housewife.
These natural soft soap pits, seven in
number, and having al average capacity Of
1000 gallons, are scattered over an area OF
two or three acres Of alkali land, situated
just below the mouth of half a dozen no
springs and two large springs of practically
pure lubricating oil. The water from the
hot springs and the oil drainage combining
with each other and acting on the alkali de-
post, constitute a natural soap manufactory,
the product Of which is gathered in the ad-
jacent series Of earth cavities or pits. Just
below the pits themselves is 4 wide tract of
spongiest marsh soil, in. whose depths the
soft soap surplus is absorbed. The product
is perfectly marketable, and in the coming
commercial development Of the, Big Horn
basin there will doubtless be q natural soft
soap syndicate.
