Thought He Shot an Angel.

An engineer running over the Panhandle
branch of the Santa Fe IS somewhat su-
perstitious and believes in warnings, says
the Topeka State Journal.
One night he was rolling along at a
good rate of speed when he saw a clear,
white light. like a will-o -the-wisp
dancing around just over the track a few
hundred feet in front of him. He shut off
steam and came to a stop as quickly as
he could. The conductor and train crew
came running up to the engine to see what
was the matter.
There is some one swinging a lantern
across the track said the engineer, and
the crew went ahead to investigate.
I'VE can't find any one" reported the
rear brakeman, and the engineer pulled
out again, but he went slowly, and in a
few minutes he stopped again. The crew

who was a good shot, drew his revolver
and at the second shot he made at the
mysterious light there was a crash, and
the light went out and something white

The Currency Reform Bill.

Very little attention is being paid TO the
bill to reform the currency which was in
troduced into the House recently by the
committee on banking and currency, al
though friends of currency reform are
trying to get the House to act upon il. 1t
is quite different from the bill proposed by
the commission appointed by the Indian
apolis sound money convention. Never
theless, the members of that commission
are supporting the pending bill. They are
inclined to think that in some important
particulars Il is superior to their bill.
AT first thought it would seem to be
waste of time to urge the House to act
upon the bill at this time for the reason
that adjournment, in all probability, is
close at hand, and because, also, if it
should be passed by the House it would
be defeated or pigeon-holed in the Senate
but nearly ali great measures, such as
this currency reform bill is have to be
considered long time before action upon
them can be had. II viii do the bill no
harm to keep it before the people. The
only way to make them acquainted with it
is to continue 10 explain its different feat
ures day after day. BY discussing it and
reiterating its advantage the people will
be led to think of it, and finally, to be-
lieve in it,
If it's friends should say nothing about
IL the majority of congressman and pretty
nearly all the people would forget it. The
only hope of getting action upon it is in
keeping it in the minds of the people and
of congressman.
The Senate, as it is at present consti-
tuted, would not. of course, pass 1.-THE
Senate being in favor of free silver-nnd
the House would not even discuss it al
this time for fear that something might
be said which would jeodardize the sue
cess OF the party in power In the fall cleo
tons. The people, however. will become
acquainted with the bill through the ef-
forts of it's friends and when they have
made up their minds in regard to il Con-
gress will be prepared to act upon il.

Fortres. TakeR by one soldier.

1t doesn't always take whole army to
capture fort or man-of-war, says the
New York World. The Earl of Peterbor-
ough took Barcelona, with garrison of
400 Spaniards, with the aid of one man.
Leaving his army besieging Madrid he
rode with an aid-de-camp right up to the
gates of Barcelona and commanded the
Spanards to surrender or he would raze
the town to the ground within eight hours
This threat was absurd, as his army had
more than enough to do already at Ma
drid. But so great was the fright of the
garrison at seeing the grim Earl before
their gates that they capitulated and
marched out of the town.
Another strange capture of a fort was
accomplished by an intoxicated sailor dur
ing Englands war in India. The British
army had been all day be-
sieging very strong fort on the
River Hooghly, and they would have had
to spend many more days before they man
aged to take &C. as The inhabitants had
plenty of food and ammunition During
the night a sailor named Strahan strayed
from the British camp up to its walls I'M
perceived and rolled inside through a
breach. On seeing the enemy he became
suddenly sober and shouted for his com
rades. The British sentries gave the
alarm and his comrades rushed into the
garrison.

In ElY Time.

The New York Sun notes a scarcity of
flies in that metropolis The Washington
Post has heard no complaint of a short
age in the crop. at the capital. Senatorial
somonlence and flies are coordinate char
acteristics of Washington in summer
They seem to exist together as naturally
as if each were called into beings by and
for the other. The sleepy buzz of the

Of the flies upon the polished dome of
thought which is the trade mark of the
resident, permanent or transient. of the
District 1t can be seen, therefore. that
nature makes a wise provision in sending
flies to the national capital; and this sea
son nature has not been remiss in her
duty. The fly is doing business at his &c
customed stand, and preventing legislation
from stagnatlng.
Why there should be a shortage of the
/ fly population of New York this season
is matter beyond mortal comprehension.
New York is usually a pretty fly town.

Flies are supposed to flourish under con-

However the fly may be called an In

Not Like the Old Times.

those happy. halcyon days of yore the
octopuses and other representa- ives Of the
money power were targets for hours and
hours at a time of the thunderbolts Of
speech OF populistic orators. Talk was
unlimited. The delegate who could wag
his jaw the longest and say the most hard
things about everybody not in the move
ment. stood the best chance for prefer
menL But how changed things are now!
Al the Populist meeting in Omaha a few
days ago the time of each speaker was
actually proposed to be limited to five
minutes!
There were also several other things
missing from the Omaha meeting besides
characteristic Populistic verbosity. Chief
among those features which We're not was
Tom Watson Of Georgia, and next the rep
resentation of nineteen states. And then
PETER ana Cyclone Davis were not there.
The absentees, indeed, were very conspic-
uous But Butler was there-Butler who

own state aud MARY Ann" by the big
gest Populist that ever was, who was sold
out by the aforesaid Mary Ann" and
came not within a thousand miles of the
Vice Presidential seat.
Butler tried to impose a bogus sensa-
ton upon the meeting by way of impart-
ing to it some of the old-time snap and
vigor He rushed over from Chicago with
a salty tale about Mark Hanna trying to
bride the Populist delegates 1t would APP
pear, TO judge from Buffers story, that
Hanna had a train load of gold some
where on the way to parcel out among
the delegates in exchange for their votes,
and that it depended upon Butler to stop
the deal When there is any bargaining
to be done, Butler wants to do il himself
He has won the reputation of being one
of the most expert political traders in the
business. He has beaten both the Demo-

last national campaign, as will be very

friends. The idea that Hanna wanted to
make a trade, without his consent, caused
Butler to work himself into a fury of
righteous indignation. He said nothing
about the alleged dishonesty of the dele
gates, who according to his own story he
was willing 10 believe would welcome
bribery but he lambasted Hanna to the
extent of fun column of small type.
1t was Buffers story that Hanna want

lists and the Democrats in the congress

dental campaign of 1900, and that he was

it, Now, Senator Hanna may or may not
be corruptionist in politics, but there is
no question that he is a long-headed bust
ness man. As such he would not be apt
to spend good money for something which
is more than likely to be without value al
the time for its delivery. The Populist
party is an extinct volcano; dead duck;
spoiled herring. Senator Hanna knows
it, and the meeting at Omaha shows it.

The regular service rifle Of the United
States army is the Krag- Jorgensen. The
effective range Of this weapon is 1000
yards, and the muzzle velocity of the bull
let is 200 feet per second. The regular
rife of the Spanish army is the Mauser;
range ECO yards, and muzzle velocity 2,2S5
feet per second. Both Of these are maya
zine guns. They are practically of about
equal effectiveness, when placed in the
hands of marksmen of equal expertness.
All of the Spaniards are armed with the
Mausers, but only a few more than the
regulars of our army have the Krag-Jor-
gensens Most of our volunteers are armed
with Springhelds. These rifles are single
shot, their effective range is 100 yards
and their muzzle velocity ,S15 feet per sec
ond. Thus a Spanish force could stand 800
yards beyond the effective range of the
guns of our volunteers and pick them Off
without themselves running any risk. This,
of course, is supposing the Spaniards to be
as good shots as the Americans. The evil
dences, however, go to show that the
Spaniard is not an expert marksman while
the American is, hence the probabilities
arc that good shooting on the American
side will more than counterbalance supe-
riority Of rifles on the other.

arms would triumph This is. of course
on a par with the stories recently told by
the Bishop of Manila, to the effect that
the YANKEES were coming for the pur-
poses of committing all sorts of terrible
outrages. 1t is monstrous that the cloak
OF the church, in these enlightened days.
should be used to cover such falsehoods.

are civilized people at the end of the nine

superstiuous as TO swallow such silly
yarns merely because they come from
wearers of the cloth.
