THE WAY"IT DIES.
Enthusiastic Crowds Can SIN Linten
to silver Speeches..

Enthusiastic Crowds Cnn SIN Linten
to silver Speeches.
Let me tell you the way 1.-THE silver
craze" is dying" in this part OF the
country.
At Cloverdale, recently, there was an
immense crowd, nearly 10000 people,
assembled to hear n money talk. Hon.
w. V. Rocker, n silver republican, ex-
Gov. Matthews, ind Hon. II. c. Bell, ex-
deputy commissioner of pensions, were
advertised to speak. Mr.. Bell led off
IN speech of an hour and half. Mr..
Rocker followed, speaking another hour
and half. Gov. Matthews could not
come. But, rs the vast assembluge was
hungry for more free silver talk, Mr..
Bell was called on to make second
speech to the same audience. He made
1t. and 1t was n lively one. For On hour
he poured hot shot into the ranks Of the
goldbugs, and heated the blood Of the
silver men to the boiling point. They
were very enthusiastic over his fret
speech, but went wild" over the Sec
ond. 1t was something ncw-two free
silver speeches the same day, from the
same fellow, to the same crowd. And
those men will vote us friend Bell
talked. No mistake about it.-Silver
ight-Watchman.

A New Fire Company.

The recent fires in town have made
n fire company necessity. Last
week new company was organized
with about twenty members. Mr..
w. b. L. White, of Central Hotel was
elected CAPTAIN, and will hereafter
keep both eyes open in the day time
and one open at night. Will is the
right man for the place. He will
overhaul and oil up the oldfire truck,
and SEQ to it that it can be unlimber
ed without delay.
If we are to be dependent upon q
fire company to fight our fires we
should have good one, and they
should be, in some way, compensated
for their trouble. The old bncket
brigade manner of the past was
much more effective than q poorly
organized and equipped fire compa.
ny. MIR. White should have all the
help he needs in making the new
company effective. Fighting fire is
no childs play.
Since writing the above a fire com
pany has been organized by the
colored people, with b. NJ. Holly
CAPTAIN, Sidney George Lieut.. and
Chas. Dempsy Sargant. The compa-
ny numbers 20 members.
The new hose and reels have
come, and Capt. White was testing
them on Wednesday. There is 600
feet of new hose, on two nice reels.

attempt to shoot 10. Peery, who was
standing on the street with Cline
and probably several Others. Peery
knocked the pistol up and it fired in

on young Cline and fired, inaicting
a painful though not serious wound
in the abdomen. Philips ran, after
the shooting, and has not been seen

is to severely punish the aggressor.

There is a story told among the
peasantry OF Schleswig, the former
Danish province annexed after the war
in 1864, of how Prince Bismarck was
COMPOUNDED by tongue of shepherd
lad. Shortly after the close of the war
Prince Bismarck went on an inspec
ton tour through provinces, as he de .
sired to study the feelings and senti
.ments among the people. He talked
with the peasants. getting valuable
though not always agreeable informa-
ton. For days he was annoyed by
constantly hearing dogs called 'Bis-
marck." Desiring to know what it
meant, he called out in a grun voice
to a shepherd boy who had uttered the
dreaded chancellor's name in connec-
ton with his dog: Are all dogs in this
country named Bismarck" ZACH,

FREQ Mustard.


James Russell Lowell said, "All dea-
cons are good, but there nre odds in
deacons," and 1t may be added that
there ars odds in other varieties OF
men. Squire Blank, according to Har-
per's Bazaar, was not only the richest
man in his village, but the stingiest
as we'll. Nothing gave him such
keen delight as to get something for
nothing. One day he and several of
his neighbors had been in conference
with a manufacturer who contemplated
establishing mill in the town. The
conference was held in the one store OF
the village, and at it's close the manu-
facturer stepped up 20 a showcase con-
tanning cigars, ana said: Have a CT
gar, gentlemen. All the men select
ed a cigar except Squire Blank. He
did not smoke. Therefore he said:
THANK you, sir, but don't smoke;
but as the cigars are a dime apiece, I'll
take a dimes worth of mustard If you
say So" OF coursee the astonished
gentleman ''said so,'' and the squire
went home jubilant over "a hull half
