considering them before they were
adopted. II a convention ever clearly
expressed the wish Of the majority of
the delegates in the matter of resolu-
tions, it was the last Populist State
convention.
According to the Emporia Republican
a meeting of the Populist State commit
tee was held in Topeka last week at
which it was agreed that Harvey, Allen
and Stryker should be withdrawn, their
places to be filled by Democrats, but the
latter would not take the dose in that
form either and have decided to nomi-
nate a complete ticket headed by Tom
Moonlight. With the exception OF tho
fact that a few fellows who pretend to
be Democrats may name a ticket there
is not word of truth in the above story.
No such meeting of the committee was
had.
Three elements who can contribute
literally to the success of the present
State ticket will undoubtedly be all right
this year. The middle-of-the-rOad Pop
ulists can have no possible ground for
complaint. The platform is as broad as
he would make it himself, the candi-
dates stand squarely on it and no charge
of giving the Democrats control can
truthfully be made. The silver Repub-
lican can find no possible excuse for de-
clining to stand with his natural ally.
The gold Democrat finds that in return
for his efforts to beat Bryan and elect
Mckinley he has been given the most
Objectionable tariff law imaginable. He
finds that the present State government
has been the best the people ever had,
and that the Republican ticket offers no
hope to the people. He will vote for
Leedy.

Peace Prospects Not Bright.

Washington, June 3O.-In diplomatic
quarters 1t is stated that no steps have
been taken thus far in the direction of
peace overtures from any quarter, and
that It is not likely that such overtures
will come either from one power, or
from combination Of powers until the
military situation materially changes by
a decided victory or decided defeat.
Just why this should be awaited is not

much the same thing. After leaving col

PRESS AGENTS ROUND TABLE.

To those who do not know Jimmy
Barrows it may be something Of sur
prise to learn that in spite of his pract1-
cal appearance the actor is something OF
a sentimentalist He is fond of taking long
walks into the country and plucking wild
flowers and other things of the sort Not
infrequentIy he stops TO admire the seen
cry and TO think over the historical in
cidents which he knows to have taken
place near. At times it is said that he
even writes verse and his fOndness for
that branch of literature got him into
trouble the other day. The story teller
says that Jimmy" had spent the entire
afternoon roaming about near the river
and had made numerous mental photo
graphs of the beauty of the view when
his attention was taken by something
startling in a field near by. Upon ap-
preaching the object the actor found it
to be a grave-a deserted. bare. unmark-
ed spot, but still plainly a mound where
the remains of some unfortunate had
been inferred.
BarrOws walked reverenually 10 the
place and took of his hat. Then he stood
a moment in the broiling sun and thought
He remembered pathetic incidents in MS
him. Then his mind came back To the
lonely mound before him and he wondered
how il came 10 De 50 FAR out Of the reach
of human sympathy lie noticed a crumb-
ling and empty cabin near and wondered
again if the inhabitants had not some in
terest in the uncared for grave and if they
had not left il. Then ne put together a
sad little tale about dlrk-eyed girl who
loved the solitary sleeper before him and
who hed taken up her abode in the tuC5le-
down house that she might be near him
in his last resting place. And then per-
haps another man had come along and
she had forgotten her dead love for 4
living one and quilted the cabin and
the little mound by the river. Jimmy
wiped away tear and sadly laid upon
the earth the bouquet of daisies he had
brought with him and which he had in
tended to place in q vase on his desk
That done he determined that the sleep
or should at least have some mark above
him and so he whitfield his nand full OF
blisters cutting a headbOard with his
pocketknife. This ne planted carefully
having first written some pretty lines on
it about the unknown wanderer resting
there and the unknown passer-by who
had sympathized with him. And then re-
him all that night ard on the following
day he returned to take another view of
the place his heart had MADE holy Every
thing was as he had left it with one ex-
ception-Some SacTiligiOuS hand had
scFawIed an answer to his verse on the

1t was derived and put in excellent dra-
matte form by that master Of stagecraft.
William Gillette, will be this weeks test
OF the versatile talents of the Columbia
Stock Company. In some respects it will
be different from any bill it has given
us this season, although the repertoire
has ranged from military meIodrama to
satiric comedy. ''Esmeralda" is a rustic
idyl, and reveals one of the prettiest love
stories in stage literature, together with
some delightful comedy and quaint bits
of character work.
The plot, in brief. tells how Esmeralda,
daughter Of an old North Carolina far
mer, Elbert Rogers, becomes an heiress
Through the discovery of valuable coal
deposits upon her fathers land She
aoves Dave Hardy, a simple mountaineer,
but with wealth her mother becomes am
s5itious of great match" for Esmeralda.

scienceless fortune hunters, chief among
