Hon. A. L. Hager has been accorded
the very distinguished honor of an invi-
tation to deliver the Memorial day adj
dress at Gettysburg this year, which he
has accepted. During all his public ca
reer Mr.. Hager has been an admirer of
the veteran patriots and has proved his
consistency by working diligently and
effectively in their interests. His ad-
dresses before Grand Army associations
have been brilliant with the fire of pat
riotism and forceful eloquence and his
Gettysburg Grafton will be an honor to
this national occasion. The people of
the ninth district have additional cause
for pride in the honors that have come
to their representatives in Compensation

AN ABLE POLICE HORSE.
He Can Count Up to Six and Perform
Other Feats.


He Can Count Up to Six and Perform
Other Fcats.
The cleverest horse on the New York
police force is Pompcy, whose register
ed number on the books of the depart
ment is 1873. Let any horse or police
man who disputes this statement step
forward and prove to the contrary.
Pompey gave an exhibition of his tai
ents for the benefit of The Sunday Jour
nal. He can count and understands Or
binary conversation. He is, in fact, al
most as intelligent as a policeman.
He is the steed and inseparable COM
panion of Roundsman Redmund p.
Keresey of the Thirty eighth precinct,
which is in the annexed district. Pom
pey is remarkable not alone for his TIL
ents; he has also history, which is
full of human interest.
His intelligence developed SO rapidly
that Keresey began to teach him few
tricks. He would tickle him under the
right fore leg with a straw and say,
"Pompey, give me your right hand. T"
At first the horse would raise his leg to
avoid the tickling, but soon he learned
to do the same thing merely when he
heard the words fright hand''
The same process taught him to offer
his left foot when politely asked to do
so. His education went on steadily, and
he learned to raise his right or his left
hind leg at a mere word from his mas
ter. Keresey made the horse understand
that when he used the word papa in
conversation he referred to himself
Keresey. Thus the policeman would
say, "Give papa your right hand" and
the animal would understand perfectly.
The horses name also was varied occa-
sionally to "Papa's Boy
An interesting feature of Pompey's
education was the rapidity with which
he acquired knowledge. In two weeks
he raised his right foot when told to.
His teacher had fewer difficulties than
most men who train animals. Dogs are
usually found to be inattentive and IN
duly exuberant. The superiority of the
horse lies not in greater intelligence,
but in greater docility. .
The next stage was to make Pompey
say eyes" or "No." A tickling on the
side of the neck caused him to move his
head sidewise. This was accompanied
by the command, "Say no." Finally
the tickling could be omitted A titilla-
tion of his chin taught him to move his
head up and down, which meant yes.
After this Pompey began to learn to
count A light whip was placed on one
Of his forelegs near the ground. He
raised the leg to avoid the obstacle
and tapped the ground lightly. Keresey
at the same time said, Count one"
Then he counted one without the use Of
the whip. This process was continued
until Pompey was able to count six,
which is his present state of proficiency.
.'Say, it's O'Clock, time for relief"
says Keresey, and Pompsy gravely
scrapes his fore foot six times on the
ground.
He takes two steps to the right or left
when told to do so, and in fact has so
many accomplishments that they can
not all be enumerated here. New York

Candidate For Governor.

The Atlantic Telegraph in its issue of
Saturday, May 10, brings forward the
following announcement of the candi-
dacy of Hon. Silas Wilson, of that city.
for the republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton:
Two years ago. when the canvass for
the nomination for the office of governor
was made, it was pretty we'll understood
IN this part OF the state that if General
Drake should receive the nomination at
that time, that he would be satisfied
with one term; and the principal reoson
he wanted the Office was to round out
his career as a public man with the
honors OF the governors office, and that
was used as an inducement to secure
votes for his nomination at that time.
While General Drake has made a good
governor and would no doubt feel hon
ored by renominotion, many republi-
cans in this part of the state feel that
they would like to have a candidate this
year more closely identified with the
farmers and agricultural interests of the
state. And i'll this connection the name
OF Hon. Silas Wilson. of this CITY. has
been freely mentioned and commented
upon as man eminently fitted in ability,
interests and surroundings as such "a
candidate.
Mr.. Wilson is the leading nurseryman
of the state, having been a prominent
figure in horticultural work for twenty
five years, and his business brings him
In very close connection with the farm
ers and business men of the state. He
is we'll and most favorably known in all
parts of the state; has had wide exper-
fence as prominent legislator as a rep
resentative from Cass county in the
Twenty first, Twenty second and Tween
ty-third General Assemblies, and at the
time of the deadlock was the unanimous
choice OF the republicans for speaker,
Last year he was a delegate to the re-
publican national convention at St. Louis
and is now the president for the second
time of the National Association of Nur-
serymen. He has been tried in posi-
lions of trust and responsibility, and has
ever been found faithful and efficient In
all OF them, conservative and able. He
was a faithful soldier, going into service
when sixteen years of age, and was
severely wounded in battle and taken
prisoner
The western part of the state has
never been honored with governor,
and the republicans of this section of the
state feel that it is about time for them
to haqe'a representative in the executive
chair, and no man more fit to fill it can
be named to represent the interests of
the state, agricultural and business. than
Hon: Silas Wilson, Of Cass county. The
republicans of the western half of the
state will be enthusiastic in his support.
Silas Wilson has many friends in this
county who will gladly further his can.
didacy by every possible effort. Mr..
Wilson is competent man and good
one too, who would fill with honor and
ability the Office of governor of Iowa.
