BOIES IS GAINING.
Indications Point to His Nomination
by the Combined Silver Forces
of Iowa.

Des Moines, June 22.-The Democra IS,
silver Republicans and Populists, who
are to hold their state conventions in
this city tomorrow have commenced as
sembling The candidates with their
hackers are nearly all on the ground.
There is much speculation as to how
the conventions will be merged into one
policy and one set of candidates. There
are slight differences which may be-
rome acute. The thermometers have
their hands full. The leading candi-
dates for governor just now are: Judge
White of Webster, Ex-Governor Boies Of
Waterloo and J. R. Burgess of Ottum-
wa. Mr. BOies has been gaining and
Mr.. White losing today.
For judge of the supreme court there
is some opposition to Chief Justice
Kline, who has almost been conceded
the nomination. The dissatisfaction
grows out of the fact that while he vo-
ted for Bryan he has not recanted on
gold. The triple convention will be one
of the largest gatherings ever held in
the state. The platform will be for sill
Yer, 16 to 1, without doubt with strong
local flavor

from either side. By decorating the
central screen, on both sides, where is
now shown the storl1, and leaving open
the space where the vases are seen in

taste of the owner.

The avowed and final cuban policy of
the Liberal party is now complete. It
guarantees autonomy sincere and thor

humane civilian government The news
papers are busy looking up the speech,
which it is alleged General Woodford
made years ago, favOring the Cuban
rebels and drawing inference there
from.
They also echo the statement publish

Liberals are Disappointed.

London, June 22.-The Times and all
the morning papers contain long tele-
grams from the colonies describing the
enthusiasm in connection with jubilee
fetes. The editorials express a rather
quiet satisfaction over the jubilee hon
ors though the Liberal organs betray
some measure of disappointment. Lit
erature is practically ignored. There is
unanimous approval, however. of the
honers conferred upon colonial states
men, and this is especially keen in the
case of Mr. Lau-ier.

She Kissed Thirty-Four Ruffians.

From the Stockton, (Kan.) News.
 The pops of Phillips county have nom- mated for county treasur+r the man who first held that office after the or ganization of the county. Ii Is told of him that for several years he ran the county business without books, keeping the accounts all straight on the walls of his office. For many years aftsr his term of office expired he lived on farm near where the writer was living and patched and farmed, tending as high as 120 acres of corn some years. He soon became quite wealthy, and began to buy up all the land adjoining him. He had large cribs of corn, large pens full of hogs and pastures full of cattle About this time a handsome young lady came to Phillips county and settl:d with her parents on a tree claim south of the river. She soon saw his cattle and hogs and horses and his broad green pas lures, and after learning that he was quiet, Christian gentl man. who would provide well for a wife, she consented to occupy the farm with him. They marris d. Thirty-four young border ruff fans from the adjoining country went with guns and bells and tin pans to serenade the nswly married couple. They made night hideous for while but at last the gentleman got out ef bed and rolled a sack of applss out at the door to the yelpers outside. But this wouldn't do. Thy must see the bride Seeing no way of escape, he called to Sadie to get up. Pres antly she came out. She was introduced to the motley gang, each one i'm turn kissing her much to th= delight of the new husband who saw plainly that he was not the only admirer she had. After this the couple were among the most prosper ous people in that section. NJ. Thomas Cox, as his name is, may be elected, but it will bs an unfortunate thing for him if he should be. He is now at busi- ness that he is highly qualified to carry on, and the office of county treasurer of Phillips county, which has ruined number of good men, might also ruin him.

MASCOT OF THE RAIL.
An Engineers Pet Cat Equally at Home in Cab
 or on Pilot.

From the New York Press.
 Susquehanna, Sept. 9.--An enginser on the Delaware and Hudson road has a cat with which he would not part for love or money. It belonged to his wife, who is now dead, and for a ysar past it has been his constant companion in the cab. The cat loves its life on the rail and has grown sleek and fat
 Ordinarily 1t sits perched up at the cab window before it's master, but oc- casionally it strolls out to the pilot, where it will rids at stretch, winking knowingly at the dogs which bark at the train as it thunders by the cross roads.
 Sometimes when the train is ap- preaching a station the adventurous animal climbs to the top of the sand box and calmly roosts there, undeterred by ths shriek of the whistle or the clang of the bell. The locomotive has had good luck ever since the animal became an occupant of the cab, and the trainmen look on it as a mascot.
