Beating the Record of the Cat That
Came Back or the HOming Pigeon.
The late Joseph MiIlward, father of
the present Joseph U. Millward. told
the following story of a. pig to Colonel
William A Gum, who is our author
ity. 1t is a IIttle incredible. but it is
so we'll authenticated that we believe
it, for no man in his day in Lexington
stood higher for veracity and integrity
than did odd Joe" MiIlward. as ne
was known to his acqualntances:
Many years ago he vas at a far
mer's house to dinner. and while they
were eating little pig came into the
dining-room, and the good woman Of
the house remarked to her husband
that she couldn't keep it out and she
wished that he would kill it," Mr. Mill
ward said:
Don't do that, but send it to town
TO me-"
The farmer replied that he would
1t was in the days when wood was
burned in Lexington for fuel, and in
a day or two the farmer sent in load
of wood and put the pig in a basket
and hung 1t on the c0upIing-pole of
the wagon, and in this way brought il
TO town to Mr. Millward. 1t was a.
very rainy time, and the roads were
muddy and wet. In a night or two the
pig disappeared and Mr. Millward sup
posed some negro had stolen it. A
few days afterward he met his farmer
friend and told him that someone had
stolen his pig. The latter remarked
that the pig had come home and that
he intended to keep it, The pig had
crossed over town, took the Newton
road and got to Elkhorn creek, which
was very high. The miller at the creek
told him that he had seen a little,
muddy pig come TO the creek and take
d peep at the high water, and at last
he plunged in, and the swift current
swept him down and over the dam.
and the miller thought it was drowned;
but after little time he saw the pig
coming up the opposite bank, and when
he came to the road he took UP the
hill and disappeared toward home

U4REwARDED HONESTY.

Everyone around the Illinois Central
city ticket Office was talking about the
finding of the $50 gold watch and Hon

ley was getting a good deal of praise
for his honesty, but he remarked that
he would have preferred a half dollar.
This case reminds me of a similar one

said one of the old-timers. TT was in
the early days of Pat Hill, you know,
everyone remembers Pat. In fact, a
short time ago he was still breaking on
the Louisville & Nashville between
here and Mobile. Well, he was riding
on my train and he found by the end
of his seat a roll of bills amounting to
$1,000. Pat was too honest to put the
money in his pocket, so he hunted
about until he found the man who had
lost it, and returned the money. The
owner handed him a half dollar

DIGNITY OF EUROPEAN LEARNING.

One cannot have had any experience
of instruction of European boys and
girls without being conscious of the
radical contrast between the spirit of
the elementary school room abroad and
in this country. There is among the
little people abroad a. peculiar sort of
application of which among American
children you will not find the slightest
trace. 1t is not a question of industry.
The juvenile American is as willing to
learn and as quick about it as any
other. 1t is a. matter of mental atti-
tude. The school room where Euro
pear children acquire the rudiments of
educa- zion is, in some unanalyzable
way, a quieter. remoter spot; one more
shut off from the distractions that
come from without, and, notably. more
serious. Learning may look to the
youthful minds within those walls TO be
a dull thing, but it is certain, without
their being aware Of it, to seem a dig
nified thing. And the routine has a re-
pose that gradually acts upon the jul
venile scholar until it shapes him to
this application-to a mood of patient
effectiveness and a sort Of Illuminating
receptivity that, so far as ultimate
frutfulness is concerned, may. in ev-
cry instance, be safely preferred to all
the precocious personal brightness
and "alertness'' in the world.-Scrib-
ner'S.

His life has been fulf1lment rather
than mere promise. We know his high
character and great fitness for the
great office Of president He is our
neighbor and we are not deceived in
him. If elected he will be the create
man that has occupied the White
House since the days of Lincoln, and in
his broad and genuine sympathy for
the masses he more nearly resembles
Lincoln than any public man we can
recall. The nomination of a third ticket
would be the exact equivalent of a
genuine endorsement of Mckinley, the
single gold standard, the abomina bic
high tariff tax, continued gold bond
issues and perpetual national debt,
cruel and heartless corporations for the
west for four years and possibly for all
time. If elected president, Mr. Bryan
will know no Democrat, no Populist,
no Republican. There will be no step

WANTS. A MATCH.

LONDON, July 20.-Tom Sullivan is
agent for James Stanbury, the cham
pion sculler of Australia, in the nego-
tiations for d match with Jacob
Gaudaur of Canada, and he says that
a dispatch was sent today accepting
Guadaurs counter proposition to row

race on the Thames river early in Sep
TENDER. Gaudaur will be allowed ELS
for expenses. Early in September is Sc
leoted as the date of the contest be-
cause Stanbury must return to Aus
tralia Immediately after that time.
Sullivan said today: 81 hope that
Gaudaur will accept. Should the mem
meet there would be a fine race.
Gaudaur is a fine sculler and much
faster than Harding. Gaudaur may be
assured that he viii have the fairest
treatment. Stanbury is anxious to meet

ALONG THE WEBER.
General Rejoicing Over the Action
of the Chicago Convention.

of the Chicago Convention.
KAMAS, July 2O.-Every one, or
nearly SO. seem well pleased with the
action taken at the Chicago conven-
ton. Many Republicans declare they
will support Bryan and Sewal and the
platform upon which they stand. Some
Populists are waiting to see what ac-
ton their party will take on the 22nd.
while some declare they will not vote
for Mckinley nor neither will they vote
for Bryan, because he is not of their
party or of their party's nomination.
However, we think they will step into
line after the convention. Many of our
citizens would have been pleased to at
tend the ratification on Saturday eve
ming, but as haying is crowding and
crops need attention it made it impos-
sible to artend. However, our hearts
and souls were with you in, the good
work, and will continue to be, not only
until we put Bryan and Sewall in the
white house, but as long as Democ-
racy has a name and representation
on the soil of free America. Long live
Democracy!
We have been visited of late by some
very severe storms for this part of the
country. Though not nearly as severe
as in southern Utah, they were quite
severe enough for us.
Our streams are alive with pisca-
torial artists from different parts of
the state and all are enjoying them
selves nicely and are catching a nice
lot of the speckled beauties. at least all
they can eat, and that is saying a
great deal for some at least.
Crops are looking fine, in fact better
than for years past at this time of the
season, and barring late frosts, we will
have an abundant harvest. Hay crops
indicate a larger tonnage than for
years past: all are making preparations
to commence Immediately after the

PADUCAH, KY, July 2O.-The Popu-
list state convention today, by a vote
Of 24e to 1O7, adopted a platform
strongly opposing the plan to have the
national convention of the party en-
dorse the Chicago ticket and platform.
The proceedings were hurried to enable
the delegates TO take an early train for
st. Louis. Owing to lack of representa-
ton from two districts. seven, instead
of four delegates at large We're elected
in order to make the delegation to St
Louis complete.
The platform adopted contains the
following: The Peoples party of Ken
lucky is unalterably opposed to the en-
dorsement by the national convention
Of the Peoples party at St Louis os
the Democratic platform and ticket
nominated at Chicago.
We are decidedly opposed to nom
mating any man for any office who will
not endorse and advocate a straight
Populist platform
We favor a union of all reform
forces on an honorable basis. if one
preserving intact the organization and
principles Of the Peoples party can be
devised. This may be done by an
equitable division Of electors, and not
by surrender or fusion"

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..
Eighth Statistical Report of the
Commission.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The eighth
statistical report of the interstate COM
merce commission, prepared by its sta
tistician, for the year ending June 80,
1895, has just been submitted. Refer
ence is made to the effect of the con-
tinued business depression and the
large number of receivership. On July
so, 1895, 1863 roads operating 1880 miles
were reported in the hands of receivers,
showing a net decrease of % roads and
1858 miles of line. The railway capital
represented by these roads was nearly
81, 800, 000,000 or about 22.2 per cent of
the total railway capital in the United
States. The total railway mileage in
the United States on July 80, 1895, was
1S0,657 miles, The aggregate length of
all tracks in the United States ON June
80, 1895, was 236,94S miles.
The number of men employed by
railways shows an increase of 5,426, as
compared with last year. The statiS-
tics on this point show that the effect
of commercial depression upon the pay
roll of railways fell most severely upon
the groups comprised under the de-
scription maintenance of ways and
structures, and next to this upon
maintenance of equipment
The amount of railway capital on
June 4, 1895, was 10,9S5 203, 125, or $685.
$50 per mile of line, an increase during
the year of $1SS.729, 912 Current liabil-
tiles amounted to 1880 55. Of the
capital stock outstanding 1853, OH, t7S

SILVER CAN YIN.
Its Friends, However, Must Not Be
Divided.

Divided.
ST. LOUIS, July 20.-The national
committee of the American Silver or
ganization held a meeting tonight
which developed as expected into a
Bryan ratification. Among the promi-
nent arrivals tonight were Senator
Jones and Representative Newlands of
Nevada and Judge Scott of Kansas.
All attended the meeting and were
called upon to make addresses. Judge
Scott said he had always been Re
publican and had never voted anything
except a Republican ticket but he
would this year use every effort to Sc
cure the election of Bryan. 1t was
agreed by all present that silver could
win, if the silver men unite on the
Chicago ticket, but q. split would be
dangerous. There was some prelimi-
nary discussion as to the procedure of
the convention but the details will be
arranged at a meeting tomorrow.
The committee did not adjourn until
near midnight. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the Populists
with the object of having a single sill
yer ticket in the field.

First Part of the Brief Prepared by
Eminent Attorneys.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The first
part of brief prepared by John J.
Storrow of counsel for Venezuela, in
conjunction with Mr.. Scruggs, the
legal adviser of that government, has
just been completed and submitted for
the consideration of the Venezuelan
boundary commission. The brief is
framed as an answer to the general
summary of the British case as set
out in the British blue book devoted
to the Venezuelan dispute, and like
that is an argument based upon the
evidence collected by the agents of
the government interested! The brief
is regarded at the state department
as most important contribution to
the British-Venezuelan question as Mr..
Storrow is a Boston practitioner on
whom Secretary Olney places much
reliance
Mr.. Storrow devotes much of his brief
to an attempt to combat what he re-
CARDS as an attempt to extend the
claim beyond actual occupation, and
/ applying the laws and facts as he
finds them, he declares that they give
no support to the British claim. but
are specifically and affirmatively fatal
to it.
