beak she would deliver a character

Her master became curious to learn
the cause of the labor of his bird. 1t
was labor, for the magpie gets about
with considerable difficulty. The
owner made pilgrimage out into the
garden while the bird was after an
other stone. There he saw poor
battered toad at the bottom of the
hole. The malicious bird had found
the toad a prisoner and for an in
definite time had been amusing her
self stoniEg it. The owner called off
the bird and released the toad, not
without audible and angry protests
from the magpie, however.

he calls it, on schedule time, and has
never during the yeur he has acted as

something not very many grown-up
people in the government service can

this little boys trustworthiness be-
come that the government officials at
Washington have heard of IL, and think
the little carrier at Audalusia Is some
thing of n Juvenile marvel. In big,
round handwriting Albert has written
very boyish letter telling what he does.
1t is not very long, but greatly to the
point. This Is what he says:

post Office five times n day, and go to

ton at Springfield.

ton. Perry o. Silver of Freeport.

Chicago.
The convention opened in the Expo
sition building at the state fair
grounds at 1880 p. M, and continued
in uninterrupted session until 5:07 p.
m. William Prentiss, of Chicago, was
both temporary and permanent chair
man, and A. c. Bentley, of Pittsfield,
was secretary. The chief incident of
the convention proceedings was bit
ter fight over the appointment to the
state central committee of two men
prominent as gold democrats in 1896
Ben I. Cable, of Rock Island, and Roger
C. Sullivan, of the Fifth congressional
district. After a bitter fight the choice
of both Gable and Sullivan as commit.
teemen was ratified.
Ex-Gov. Altgeld addressed the con
vention at length.
The platform declares for the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and gold
at the present established ratio of sixteen
to one, by independent action of the United
states, without waiting for the consent or
permission of other nations; the reduc-
ton of tariff duties to point which will
provide only a sufficient revenue for the
without IpVvinp
extra tax upon the consumer for the pur-
pose of enriching the already wealthy: the
adoption of a fair and equitable tax on in
comes, and an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States, If necessary, to
accomplish this purpose; the enactment of
appropriate legislation to more clearly de-
fine the duties and powers of courts in the
issuing of writs restraining citizens of
their rights without trial by jury; the adop-
tion of national and state laws that will
abolish pools and trusts; reaffirms the
Monroe doctrine, and recognizes William
j. Bryan as the logical candidate for pres
ident in 1900. 1t declares that the repub-
lican party has failed to keep it's promises;
denounces the Allen bill and calls for its
repeal declares for the municipal owner
ship Of public franchises; favors the In
itiative and referendum; condemns Gov.
Tanner for calling a special session Of the
legislature last December; denounces the
new revenue law Of the state; denounces
the civil service law of the state and rec
ommends that the question of it's repeal be
submitted to the people. Both ex-Gov. Alt
geld and Mayor Harrison are Endorsed.
The war plank follows:
1--WE pronounce the present war with
Spain justified by every consideration of
justice and sound national policy. We con-
graduate the democratic minority in con-
gress for their firm stand in demanding
the redress of our national honor. indorse
the declaration Of war on Spain, and de-
mand its energetic prosecution in the cause
Of humanity"

Germans Assist Spaniards.

London, July lathe Hong-Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
Gen. Aguinaldo declares that both the
Spaniards and the Germans have made
overtures to him, though he declines to
divulge their import. United States
Consul Wildman asserts that Admiral
Dewey could compel the surrender of
Manila tomorrow if he liked. He says
his dispatches show that the Germans
continue to interfere, their action caus-
ing much anxiety, as it is said they are
assisting the Spaniards by landing flour
and other supplies, and moreover that
the German officers have been seen in
the Spanish trenches.

into a hole which had formerly held
