SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
CONTINUED from First Page.1

ing 1t by the tactics pursued by
some OF it's most prominent expo
nents, one can scarcely doubt the pos
sibility that you r on the right
track.
II you say that to endorse Senator
Mantle is to endorse the Chicago
platform and Senator Mantle Is q
gold bug then we must conclude that
you think the Chicago platform is a
delusion. On the other hand, II it IL
not a delusion and Senator Mantle
Is a gold bug In what way would
the Republicans profess to indorse-
ing the Chicago platform by indoors
ing him?
If Senator Mantle is not a gold
bug now and was one a month ago,
will you please tell your readers
when he had the change OF hearts
And if he was not a gold bug then
will you please be kind enough to ex'
plain in what way you justify your
duplicity?
These are very impertinent ques
tions, Mr.. Johns, 1 know, to bt
asked Fergus county's most promi
nent political and moral reformer
but l am interested, you know, and
to answer these questions myself
satisfactorily to my own mind, II
beyond my ability. 1 therefore ap
peal to your brilliant intellect anC
aptability to solving mysteries tt
help me out.
Now explain yourself or stand w
like a man and acknowledge you
have lied without any justification
If there is a spark of manhood lef'
in you you will do one thing or tn,
other.
While patiently waiting your re
ply, 1 remain, respectfully,
BRECK ORNBAUN.

Timed and Photographed at Once.
An English inventor has contrived an
instrument, which he calls the 'dromo-
graph" intended to record the time and
photograph the finish of a race, whether
of horses, athletes or bicycles. When,
at the start, the contestants break a
core an electric bell rings and a chrome
graph begins to record the time. The
breaking of the string at the finish
stops the chronograph and at the same
instant exposes a Photographic plate,
on which the position of the contestants
at the end of the race is recorded.-N.

Secretary Moore of the American
commission puts it this way: The
Spaniards accepted our conditions IN
reservedly, and a draft Of treaty viii

The Spanish commissioners were
gloomy and depressed at Mondays
meeting. There was no interchange of
the usual compliments and ciyilities.
They were performing an ungrateful
task under compulsion. 1t is known
now that Senior Montero Rios asked
Premier Sagasta. to accept their resig-
nation from the commission rather
than force them to accede to the sur
render of Spain's colonial empire. But
Sagasta appealed to them to fulfill
their mission in the interest of the
dynasty.

A MATCH FOR GEORGE DIXON
WAS UNABLE TO STOP '.THE
OMAHA KID"
Fought twenty-five Rounds and Dig
or Got the Decision, But the Crowd
Called It Draw.

New York, Nov. 29.-George Dixon,
the colored featherweight champion pu-
gilist, fought twenty-five fast rounds
with Oscar Gardner, 1.-The Omaha
Kid" before the Lenox Athletic club
tonight, and Referee Dick Roche de-
cided in favor of the champion. The
decision did not please a great many
of those who witnessed the fight.
Dixon did nearly all the leading, but
Gardner met him cleverly and coun-
tered very forcibly nearly every time
they came together. Dixon found Card
ner very awkward opponent to get to
and many of his well-meant blows
failed to land, through the clever dodg-
ing of the Omaha Kid.
1t was one of the cleaneSt and clev-
crest bouts ever seen in this or any
other club, and if the referee had not
picked a winner, but called the bout a
draw, every one would have been sat
isfied. The attendance was 1900. The
men scaled 122 pounds at 8 o'clock this
afternoon. Dixon was the favorite in
the betting at 100 to &c. Tom O'Rourke
and Tom Sharkey were in Dixon's cor
ner.
They were sparring in the middle of
the ring when the gong sounded and
the referee awarded the bout to Dixon.
The announcement of the referees de-
cision was hailed with mingled cheers
and Kisses.
