THE BRYAN PARTY.

The much looked for arrival OF the
Bryan party, eliminated in fruition on
Saturday morning, the oath, on the ar
rival of the morning train from the east.
Many of the farmers and their fami-
lies, of Lincoln county, had arrived in
the early hours of the morning, and the
Wood river country was represented by
about two hundred citizens who had
come down on the branch road Friday
evening, which made quite large
gathering of people who had come to
meet the champion OF the silver cause.
The party consisted of w. ]. Bryan,
Mrs. w. J. Bryan and their three child
rem, Miss Walch of Lincoln, Neb., Mr..
Frank Stephens, the well known attor-
ney of Salt Lake and his wife and Mr..
Virgus, who is the western manager Of
the Press Dispatch Association.
The party, under the escort of Judge
Waters. who had gone to Pocatello to
meet them, were taken to the New
Columbia hotel, proceeded by trio OF
lads each bearing a banner containing
appropriate, sentimental Inscriptions:
viz. "Our Choice for 1900," Mutual
Friendship" and "Wslcome."
After breakfast had been served IN a
manner very creditable to the proprietor
of the Columbia. the party repaired 70
the Pavilion, where the crowd had pre-
ceeded them. The Pavilion had been
profusely decorated for the occasion and
was a very appropriate place for the
gathering.
Judge Waters introduced Mr.. BRYAN
in his terse, inimitable style and Mr..
BRYAN addressed his appreciative audi
ence for half an hour in most pleasing
manner. From his standpoint, his
speech was excellent and many were
the expressions OF praise.
To see and hear Mr.. Bryan speak con-
firms only what thousands have said:
HE is versatile, convincing, pleasing
and strong advocate OF his cause.
After the speech was concluded, Judge
Waters arranged for those who desired
TO meet Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan to pass

that her parents reside in Custer county.

FROM w. j. BRYAN.

Shoshone, Idaho, May 25th, 1897.
EDITOR JOURNAL Thrice blessed be
the man who planned the trip to Sho-
shone Falls and Ranch Perrine 1t has
been delightful trip in all details.
Oul driver, Capt. G. C. Haynes, was
so experienced and his six horses so fast
that the % mile coach ride across the
lava covered plain was made in less
thar four hours, and neither tiresome
nor unpleasant,
The ranch OF Mr.. I. B. Perrine, walled
in by mighty cliffs, and yet as green as
a Nebraska farm in June, is in itself sui
ficiently interesting to repay visit.
His orchard and gardens illustrate the
possibilities of irrigation and testify to
his intelligence and industry. 1t would
be difficult to conceive Of rarer COL
lection of beautiful views than that pre-
sented at Mr.. Perrine's ranch. The
The great spring issuing from the side
of the hill, the stream rushing down
through series Of falls to the river and,
prettiest of all, Blue Lakes-so clear
that one can see the trout rise from the
rocky bottom and enter into a contest
for the bait; these must be seen to be
appreciated.
Shoshone Falls have been written
about so often and seen by so many that
further description is unnecessary.
While the volume of water passing over
is not so great as at Niagara, the fall is
greater and the sight and sound are awe
inspiring. We are under special obliga-
ton to Judge Waters and Mr. Perrine,
who looked after our comfort en- route
and to Mr.. McFall of the New Columbia
hotel at Shoshone, Mr.. and Mrs. Fletch-
er of the Shoshone Falls hotel and Mrs.
Perrine, who divided the task Of provid-
ing food for our party.

guests at the Dill House.
Rev. r. V. Williams will deliver
lecture on Robert Burns, Sunday eve

will render some choice selections.
G. Hanson and E. J. Andrews are
building large blacksmith and wagon
shop on the opposite corner to the Dill
house. They will be ready for business
in short time.
w. ]. Bryan will be the guest of his
old friend, Mr.. G. J. Bassett during his
visit to the Yellowstone Park. Mr.. Bas
sett is a first cousin of Mrs. r. V. Will
ans of this place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan expressed them
selves as highly gratifed with the re-
ception given them by the people OF Sho
shone and vicinity. Mr.. Bryan regret
ed that they could not visit HALEY and
the Wood river country.
1t is said that the phrase, "He isn't
in il" was first used by an editor of
weekly paper who died and went to
heaven and looked around for a man
who took his paper for three years and
then refused to pay for 1t.
The people of our quiet burg were
surprised to learn that Charlie Wern-

day last and was ready and willing to
solder uD any thing from the hole made
by the Hoosac tunnel to a small leak

that he will fire up again in about 90
days.
The school board have let contracts
for repairing the school house, which
will be done during the coming month.
A high board fence will be erected be-
tween the girls and boys play ground
clustering, painting done. The board
evidently know what's needed and will
see that it is supplied.
The people up the river like to see all
the big attractions, but hate to have to
come to Shoshone to do so, and conse- |
ouentlv the numbers to come down to
the circus and see w. J. Bryan, was
small. The large shows and noted men |
only visit the more important cities, so
if the Wood river folks wish to see and |
hear the latest, they will have to give
I'D. and come to Shoshone.
A practical woman remarked the |
other day that she read the advertise
ments in newspaper more closely than
any thing else. "And long ago." she
said, 81 quit buying of those who did |
not advertise. 1t always seems to me
that the merchant who advertises invites
me to trade with him, while the one
who does not advertise impresses me
with the idea that he doesn It care enough |
for nv trade to ask for it. Then, too,
I have found that the merchant who adj
vertises has fresher goods for the reason
that he sells more.

His Criticism.

A good story is told concerning Presi-
dent George B. Roberts of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in connection with an
inspection tour over the lines of the
company. The inspection party was
riding over one Of the branch lines Of
one of the numerous divisions of the big
system, accompanied by the superin-
tendent of the division. The branch
happened to be an exceptionally crooked
one, and as the superintendent was
chatting with President Roberts the car
made a sudden lurch going around one
of the sharp curves, which led the su-
perintendent to remark to his chief that
1.-THE engineer who built this branch
knew d---n little about engineering. ="
With a merry twinkle i'll his eye, the
president replied, Eyes, that is so. But
1 was very young when 1 located the
road, and know better now. " The su-
perintendent was completely discounted
by this reply, not having been aware
that the then president of the Pennsyl
vania railroad had when quite a young
man located and done the engineering
work thereon. President Roberts, on
the other hand, took this somewhat Sc
we're criticism on his early work as a
good joke. -Philadelphia Record.

Curious BooRmarKs.

1 am keeping collection of curious
bookmarks, says a well known librarian,
and was first induced TO do so by a
rather humorous incident which hap
pened here. There were three very
charming young ladies in the library
one afternoon, and was rather surpris-
ed to see one of them, after glancing at
me, say something to her companions,
who Immediately turned round. and
looked, and then they all started gig
Cling l felt that in some way was the
cause of their mirth, and after they had
gone was surprised to discover tress Of
golden hair lodged On the back of my
coat. l remembered q short time before
placing a book on the shelf which had
been returned by reader, and presume
the lock must have fallen from it.
The best part of this incident, how.
ever, was the sequel. Two days after,
ward young gentleman called, and,
in a somewhat confused manner and
with a red face, asked my permission to
look through the pages of a book which
at that time was very popular and IL
which occurred some very pathetic love
passages. His dismay was great when
he found that his bookmark was gone,
and, after hesitating for some time, he
plucked up sufficient courage to ask me
whether had seen anything of a lock
of hair. could hardly keep from smil,
ing as l returned his property, and
without waiting to thank me he prompt,
ly bolted from the place and has never
returned again.
Since then l have kept the curious
articles have taken from books return.
ed and have now nearly a desk full.
Small paper knives, paid and unpaid
bills, rate and tax bills, and even love
letters are used as bookmarks by the
score. On two occasions | have found
postal orders.-Happy Thoughts.

The Java Python.

No creature Of the jungles Of Java is
more feared than the terrible python A
hunter tells Of his experiences with one
of these huge snakes.
, Cunning one day near the WASH
river, in the interior of the island" he
says, II watched number of wild hogs
coming to the water to drink Suddenly
the head of a snake rose above the grass,
and hog squealed. A python had seiz-
ed a full grown one, easily three feet
high at the shoulder, and thrown two
coils around the body. Under the ire
mendous pressure the hog seemed to
lengthen, and when the snake uncoiled
I saw only strip of meat, nothing dis
tinguishable but the head. 1 shot the
snake. 1t was ~ feet long and over 7
inches through, and yet its coils had
crushed the bones of its prey like chips
There is no doubt that hidden away in
vast swamps of the interior are many
anacondas of enormous size. Parties
have been made up to hunt them, but
the malarious climate drives them
back. Chicago Record.
