Some time between Nov II and 16
there is predicted shower Of stars
and the astronomers from their calcu-
lations expect it to occur on the 18th.
Every SO years myriad of stars are
due To fab and those who have seen
them say they resemble snow storm.
On Tuesday next the time is ripe for
another fall of the gems that deck the
heavens, and we hope there will be no
mistake about the date as great cal
culations are being made by our large
observatories to keep ia o on the scene.
Postmaster Cordiner has finished the
task of weighing the mail matter
which originated in this office for the
thirty days ending last Monday and
found that in that time he had re-
ceived for transmission 5,679 pounds
and twelve and one-half ounces, or a
little over 120 pounds per day. The
mail received at this Office for local
distribution, is fully four times as much
so one can form something of an idea
of the amount of mail handled here.

4 BOLD PLOT UNCOVERED

KEARNEN. Neb., Oct. IS (Spe-
cial)-"Why did Juan Boyle resign
craftsmanship of the democratic o
grcssional committee for the Sixth
district?" That Is the question that
has been frequently of late PROFOUND
ed Ivy the Rec, but no f%usionist of
the district has rushed into print with
the explanation sought.
1t will be remembered that when
the %populists and democrats met in
two conventions some weeks since at
Lexington to nominate IL candidate
for congress to tih thVaoancy in the
sixth district created by the death of
the late w. l.. Greene last winter in
Omaha, the efforts of the fusion con
spiratOrs to secure a combination up

n result two candidates were placed
in nomination. The democrats pro

liam Neville of the same place. At
the time both parties were obduratc
and considerable bitter feeling was
e%ngendercd by the unavailing conten-
ton.
No sooner was the result Of the con
vcntions heraldcd broadcast than the
leaders of the fusion machine, who
conveniently find Judgement in both
parties and manage to act Ms bell
wethcrs to the n~cighborly herds OF
confiding voters, began to clamor for
the withdrawal of Harrington. For a
time Harrington and his friends put
on a determined front, protested that
the democrats were entitled to the
nomination and that he would GER
tainly make the race. This apparent
ly dauntless determination of Har-
rington to hold to the nomination re
manned mistaken until the gathering
of the fusion clans later at Omaha for
the triangular state convention, when
it went out with a suddenness akin

II was also undoubtedly in pursu-

meeting that Harrington at once

committee, in order to Justify his
withdrawal. His letters tO iiONlC af-

to that which marks the extinction of
an electric light tickled by a broken
circuit.
OF course Colonel Bryan was in
Omaha at that time and from his
room in a hotel was directing the OPP
erations of the three conventions
through his lieutenants in each much
as one would marshal the pawns up
on the boards in a three-cOrnercd,
one-sided game of chess.
Noon OF the day of the conventions,
before they had been called to order,
saw a rush of Sixth district fusion
statesmen toward Bryan's room.
Among them was NJ. G. Harrington,
and it was given GU that the ROW
in the Sixth district was about to be
Strengthened out" Just what occur
red in that room during the secret
conclaye that followed may never be
definitely known To those not actually
present, but, Judging from events
that Immediately followed, a plan was
agreed on that contemplated the
election Of a populist to congress
from the Sixth district by the aid of
deception and perjury, the conspira-
tors being moved to this sacrifice by
the consideration and understanding
among themselves that
after 1900 there viii be no neces-
sity OF a third party and by u many
sacrifices we will win over nearly
all the populists TO our party"
1t is not merely surmised hat this
was the moving consideration that
prompted the participants in that
meeting. 1t is absolutely known that
Mr.. Harrington came out of the meet
ing imbued with that conviction, as
it appears in his correspondence sub
sequently had with Juan Boyle, the
chairman of his congressional COM
mittee. Whether Harrington sudden
ly conceived this idea or imbibed it
from Bryan is not stated, but some
thing new must have been presented
to him during that meeting by his
doughty leader which prompted him
to ~relinquish his nomination, as that
is the reason he assigns to the chair
man of his committee for giving UP
his fight. 1t must nave been Bryan
