withdrawal of John l.. Webster of

meeting of the caucus G. NJ. Lambert
son had informed one of Judge Hay
wards managers that he was ready to
throw his few votes and his influence
to Judge Hayward. About the time
that Mr.. Lambertson was delivering
this cheerful message, Judge Hayward
himself was in consultation with ten
or eleven members of the legislature
who had agreed to vote for him when
ever they could nominate him. A
meeting of Gage county members was
held about the same time for the pur-
pose of taking steps to go into the
Hayward column, so all things consid'
cred there were several causes that
appeared To be working toward the
nomination of the leader. The nomi'
nation appeared to be inevitable. The
first ballot in the caucus showed forty

in the joint convention.

Both the motor and trail car were
crowded with shivering people. The
mercury was away down In the vicin-
ity OF GAINESVILLE. The windows had
been finely decorated by Jack Frost.
and the stoves were bits OF Little Con-
solidated irony. The train reached the
vladuct and the passengers pulled their
APPS down over their ears and took
fresh grips upon the brass rails to
avoid being blown into the river. At
last the hollow rumble under the
wheels Indicated that the cars had
reached tho easterly division Of the
big bridge. and a moment later the
trolley man. knowing that he had regu-
lar passengers who alighted at Water
street. stuck his head into the trail car
and yelled: water" This was too
much for a stout man who had just
prepared to jump into the snow drift
that was heaped up along the track.
No water here" he said. 1t passed

you might bring 1t back to water again,
but not otherwise. Then he looked
back to see whether anybody was
laughing or not. The other passengers
were too busy shivering to laugh. so he
permitted a look OF disgust to over
spread his c%ountenance and Jumped

ployed and the annual pay roll amounts
to about sixty thousand dollars. The
output of last week was eighteen hun
dred cuts averaging sixty yards to

years, only stopping when repairs
were to be made or a general cleaning

ha, was burned to the ground recently,
entailing q loss of nearly $780, 900, on

says: "My house was u modern sand
stone structure of three stories, TWEEN
ty rooms, with a broad piazza extend
ing half way round the building and
an observing tower on the northeast
angle that was my JOY and pride. All,
yes; it is a pretty severe blow to be
burnt out of such a house and home AT
my age of life, and especially when
