FRANKFORT. KY. June 1.-The silver Demo-
cratic State Convention, to nominate n can
didate for Clerk Of the Court of Appeals, as
sembled to-day at noon. The convention was
conspicuous for the absence of the old leaders,
mainly Senator Lindsay, Col. Breckenridge, and
others who have espoused the cause Of gold and
were mainly instrumental in the defeat of the
ticket at the last two elections. Senator Black
burn was the hero OF tho occasion, and at every
mention of his name the crowd went wild.
Senator Blackburn's speech was one OF the
features of the occasion. He was severe in his
remarks on the gold Democratic leaders, who.
he said, should b. driven from the party. They
were only lit for the guillotine or the gallows.
He said that for the rank and file who had fol-
lowed the leaders,, though misguided, he had no
unkind words, and they were invited to return:
Ex-Congressman McCreary, whose support OF
Bryan was lukewarm, mado an enthusiastic
speech, coming out squarely In support OF the
issues before the convention and predicting the
election OF Bryan in 1900. w. II. yanseHden,
private secretary of Secretary Carlisle. was a
conspicuous man In the convention. He said he
was for free silver. -
The resolutions indorse the Chicago platform
In strong terms as representing true Democ-
racy. They also indorse William j. Bryan an
the candidate for President in 1900. and APP
prove the course OF Blackburn. The cow enti5n
showed such spirit as to repel the return of the
gold Democrats. " '""

Luis Jackson. a member of the great

the responsible position of industrial
commissioner for the Chicago, Milwaukee

a conference with Major Downing. the
commercial agent at this point.
Mr.. Jackson's field of duty is as fol-
lows: The road with which he is con-
nected believes in building up enter
prises along its lines. 1t has all its ter
fitory for manufacturing, etc, and when
1t sees e good thing it takes advantage
of it, For instance Mr.. Jackson was sent
TO Wisconsin in a district where there
were vast quantities of hemlock trees.
The settlers wanted TO cut this timber.
Jackson went to Pennsylvania and talked
TO some tanners. They could not ship
the bark all the way to Pennsylvania, but
they moved a tannery out there and used
the bark. Jackson rustled on westward
along the line and told the farmers and
stock growers about the tannery and they
sent their hides there. Then Jackson in
formed the shoe manufacturers along the
road he could get them leather at this
tannery and they bought leather there.
And everybody interested made some
money, even to the railroad, which hauled
the freight.
Mr. Jackson is here to see if there is
anything he can do in that line in Utah.
He he's heard there ara many resources
here and wishes 10 see if some of them
can be utilized by people living along the
line OF the Milwaukee 81 St. Paul.

Poor Judge of Hogs.

usual they all took to guessing on its
weight. 1t is a custom in some rural
communities and fun always follows
Finally. far UP the road they saw the
dust arising from a coming horse and
wagon and in a few moments our friend
of the long ears appeared in view.
Here comes Jack said one of them.
It's no use to guess any longer. He can
tell us just what the hog will weigh be-
fore the curl is taken out of his tail and
after. We don't need the scales. He will
settle it,
Hello. Jack said the owner of the
hog. We've killed pretty sizeable pig
here, and we want you to tell us exactly
what he weighs. Now here you sol Look
him over and say your say
The man looked the hog over. He eyed
him fore and aft, and then he stepped
back. Here were his townsmen and there
were the memorable scales to call him to
Judgment. His reputation was at stake,
and he showed his uneasiness under the
ordeal. A silence followed and finally he
said. well, I tell you boys, what it is.
I-I-well, 1 must say that for man that
knows as much as | do, I'm the damdest
poorest judge of the weight of hogs in
the whole town of Solon.''

how everybody liked him. We all stood
