HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago Girls Travels Recorded
by Photographs of Herself.

The Chicago girl that knows her
business-and where is there one who
doesn't?-has an album or card case
devoted exclusively to q collection or
pictures of the one person whom she
thinks more of than anybody else In
the world-namely, herself. There are
several laws regulating the collection
of a personal gallery of this kind In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what is equally important, no
two shall be taken in the same town.
From a glimpse at this second condi-
ton, it is obvious that the young wo-
man who has a popular collection of
her own photographs must be some
thing of traveller
In order to give added interest to
this pursuit of herself in miniature,
each photograph is stamped in violet
ink, with the name of the town where
taken, the name of the artist and the
Fate of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Incl
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
note.
In this way the business of photo
graph collecting is kept on n system
attic, methodical basis, and the book of
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history of travels in an in
definite number of chapters 1t is
evident that the more pictures it con-
tains the more comprehensive will be
the text, hence the ambition Of every
young woman possessed with the craze
to become globe trotter.
There are n few standard towns that
are absolutely necessary to the reputa-
ton of any album, such as Chicago,
New York, Niagara and the prominent
intermediate points. Beyond these,
the more distant and romantic the
places the greater the interest attach
cd to these pictorial histories of the
world as seen through n maiden's eyes.

a Clever Little Dog.

A curious illustration of canine intel
Iigence-and it's limitations-was OBJ
served By Il writer in The Outlook a
few days ago. Passing down street
he saw a fine Airedale terrier lying
down and with both ,forepaws and
muzzled nose scrubbing the surface of
an iron grating with Il bone, as if to
bring it to 4 high state of polish. The
owner saw and explained. The graf
ing is just over n cellar in which the
terrier sleeps. His muZzle prevents
him from attacking bones to advan-
tage by day, SO he brings the bones of
his finding to the grating, hoping to
push them through and gnaw luXu-
riously when unmuzzled at night But
the little chap had but the vaguest
ideas of the size limits of the grating,
and, as the ordinary sizes of bones go,
he must have had at least two failures
to every success. Yet, with real ter
rier ingenuity, he turned even his fail
ure to account, for after vigorously
trying every hole in the grating he
would quietly stop. lick the entire
grating clean of the grease and meat
Juice rubbed off the bone. then rub of
another layer and repeat the licking.

HARMONY was preserved

HARMONY was preserved in the
ranks of the Chicago democracy yes
terday through the pacific and judic-
ious course of w. j. Bryan. The dis
turbing element in the national COM
mittee, p. j. Devlin, was discharged,
from his position as head of
the press bureau, and all in
all the better judgment pre-
vailed in everything that charac-
terized the proceedings of the nation
al COMMITTEES, and the work of the
day. Bryan exhibited good taste in
his address at the Auditorium meet
ing last evening. His remarks were
in all respects characteristic, not only
in the discussion of national issues,
but in his reference to the situation in
Chicago. of which he said: "All Chi
cago platform democrats look alike

of the democratic party any professed
believer in the Chicago platform, but
to so impress upon all democrats the
Importance of the principles at stake

gotten in the determination TO carry
this government back to the founda-
tions laid by the fathers. When Lin
coin was appealing to the people of
the country in 1858 he gave utterance
to n sentiment that must be the senti-
ment of every one who realizes the
magnitude of the struggle in which
we are engaged After paying a trib-
ute to the founders of the country and
to the declaration of independence,
he used these words: i charge you
to drop every paltry and insignificant
thought for any mans success; it is
nothing; am nothing; Judge Doug
las is nothing; but do not destroy that
immortal emblem of humanity. the
declaration of independence So in
this country today we find some dis
GUESSING persons, some discussing
whether this man or that man or some
other man is the best representative
of democratic doctrine. l appeal to

paltry thought about any man and

ed by the democratic party in 1896

THE ONLY WAY.

Because I've been unhappy all the gay
i call TO you little in the night
Quite softly, so should not hurt your rest,
And not with any cry OF soTroT, lest
Ny darkness should break in upon your light
Yet can sadly, for my heart is sad
But then ] think you are 50 far away,
So very far that my voice draws near
The sorrow Will be lost, and you Will hear
Just murmurings, not the sad things that say

To let my heart forth, tell you all my pain!
And now the passionate tears begin 10 flow,
And sobs come-nay, sorrows too strong, and SO

THE latest rumor is to the effect
that Mark Hanna will make it point
to meet Admiral Dewey in Europe be-
fore his return to this country and
offer him the tail of the Mckinley
ticket in 1900, exacting the condition
that Dewey is to proclaim himself a
republican, and promising the condi-
ton that four years hence Dewey is
to be given the presidential nomina-
ton. If the boss president maker
boards Dewey's ship with any such
impudence he will probably be thrown

Hesley said that his life was in
danger from Currie while he was chas-
ing the latter down the street with
club, and the lives of his wife and
children were in danger but he did
not explain how. He swore positively
that the chase was not interrupted at
any point. He said also that he only
struck one blow and did not know
where it landed. He did not realize
what power there was in the blow,
or what he had in his hand. After
striking Currie he had said he would
kill him If he came around his house.
His reason for fighting Connors on the
way back to his house was because
Connors was hanging about the neigh

Was Successful Affair Worthy of That
Splendid Organization.
No less than one hundred and fifty
people we're in attendance at the W.
G. 7. U. reception given in Odd Fellows
hall Friday evening and the entertain
ment was in every way worthy of that
grand organization. The interest in
this social event was not centered in
the supper which was served, though
large variety of good things, tastefully
prepared, were provided and supplied
in abundance. The chief attraction of
the evening was the program and it
was excellent from literary stand
point.
On this occasion the husbands of the
W. G. T. U. ladies were invited to be
present and they took advantage of the
invitation. Mrs. c. E, Hager, assisted
by an excellent committee, had general
supervision of the affair and every
feature was in the nature of q happy
surprise.
Rev. D. r. Tomlin responded in q
happy way to the toast "W.C T. u"
giving several Interpretations of those
cabalistic letters. His speech was a gem.
Rev. A. G. Stevens toast WAS "The
New Woman" whom he described as q
wonderful evolution. He likes her and
believes in her. The awakened and
enlightened mothers of this generation
are the new women, ideal in their
aims, consecrated in their work.
Mrs. Anna Simmons spoke on "Our
Voters" and in her own charming way
rovesled many interesting facts con-
cerning the woman voter. Mrs. Sim
mons has travelled over the state and
has spoken frequently on the enfran.
chisement of woman. L. W. Seaman
aud J. T. Morrow entertained the audi.
ience with some numerous extracts
from their experiences at Pierre
during the legislature. DR.. W. I.
Graham discussed "The New Man.
which subject he handled as complete
master, and though vein OF humOr
ran through his remarks it was plain
to see that the DR.. had g. grand ideal
of man in his thoughts. Mrs. A. c.
Stevens as usual delighted her hearers
with a beautiful vocal selection and
Miss Lee gave an organ solo acceptably
Miss Stair favored the gathering with
a recitation, Miss Daniels rendered
Kipling's "White Mans Burden" and
Miss Brown recited the parody, en-
titled, "The Brown Mans Burden.
These young ladies showed fine train
ing. The W. G. T. U. ladies' are YER,
proud of the organization and of tn,
great strength in mem bership it ha
recently acquired.

NOT GRANITE OR QUARTZ1TE.

Specimens of Rock From the Artesian
Well Sent Away for Examination.
After reaching depth of 57S feet in
the artesian we'll, which is number of
feet deeper than any other we'll in the
city, Messrs. Mahanna & johnson con-
cluded to haye the rock examined and
ascertain just what it was, if possible.
There has been suspicion held by
some all along that the rock at this
depth was granite, but the contractors
didn't have much faith in that, still
they we're puzzled. A sample of the
crushed rock was sent to the chemist at
Brookings college, Prof. James h.
Sheppard and to Prof. J. E. Todd,
geologist at the state University at
Vermillion, for their examination.
City Auditor Smith received reply
from these gentlemen few days ago.
Prof. Sheppard stated in substance that
it WAS his opinion that granite had not
been encountered in the we'll, but that
the rock submitted to him was sand
stone, cemented with silica which
made it very compact and likely to
dull tools in boring. He thinks it pos
sible that softer strata of sand rock
may be encountered in which will be
found water, although it is not certain.
From the analysis Mr.. Sheppard made
be is satisfied there is no granite
in the rock sent him. Prof. Todd
made an analysis from the same sam-
pie and in his letter stated he could
find no trace of quartzite or granite.
"It consists" he said, mostly Of coarse
water quartz sand, with little sign of
concentration. There are small con-
cretions of pyrites in the sand"
From the deductions of these two
gentlemen there seems to be great hope
of getting through the rock in which
the contractors are now drill
ing. AT present they are down SIS feet
and have been bothered to some extent
with sand, but are gradually shutting
it off by driving the pipe. The con-
tractors have shown strong staying
powers since they commenced on the
we'll and ought to be rewarded with
gusher
