1t is the intention of the silver Re
publicans in the house to keep a distinct
organization in the future Unless it is
decided to change their tactics the silver
Republicans intend TO hold a caucus
when the next congress- meets and to
vote for nominee for speaker. The
Populists will do the same thing. and
the outlook is that there will be four
full fledged nominees for speaker Of the
next house. Several silver men in the
house said TO q reporter that either Rep
resentative Newlands of Nevada OF Rep
resentatiye Hartman of Montana will
be selected as the nominee. OF course
they understand that the vote will be
simply complimentary, but they intend
to cast it.
Representative Bell CT Colorado was
referred to in the house the other day as
the Populist nominee for speaker The
Populists will. decide this in caucus.
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Skinner are the men
now spoken Of. The Populists viii not
meet often in caucus with their late
allies. They will caucus by themselves,
The talk about the silver Republicans
is significant as showing that they will
not tic themselves to either the Demo
cratic or Populist party.
The Republicans will nominate Reed
for speaker. and the Democrats will
have a hot little contest to decide who

WHEREAS, 1t is with feelings of the
profoundest sorrow that the mem
bers' of Juliet Lodge No. 6, Knights

ly death of the beloved wife Of our
highly esteemed brother and faithful

with which he has been visited in

Second, That we bear sorrowful
testimony of the many loyable traits
of heart and mind possessed by the
deceased, and express the hope that
the gloom of the great shadow that
has fallen on tbs once happy home

time be rifted and his grief in part
assuaged by the comforting retlec-
ton TINT the memory of the pure and
beautiful life of the deceased is a
priceless heritage to those who knew
and loved her best, and that
1T is not all of Life to live,
Nor all of Death to die.
