probably saved the life Of Alice Pedro,
a 6-year-old Chicago child, the other

companied by the dog. AS they came
out the child ran ahead, followed by
the dog. She stumbled on the tracks
and fell. A south-bound Clark street
car was approaching rapidly, and the
motorman did not see the child, but
his attention was attracted by the dog,
which was standing between the rails
facing the car. barking loudly.

Within a year a new poet has re-
vealed himself to the world. He is
famous now-as he deserves to be. To
one who inquired if his sudden fame
was not oppressive he answered: In
the old days obscurity did not distress
me; in these days notoriety does not
disturb me. l have tried to build my
life upon a foundation deeper than
these chances and changes of time.
Praise always humbles me. Man is but
an organ through which a Higher
Power acts. If man does good work
the joy of it is his, but the glory is

DIES MONIES, Aug. 31.-The feature
of the middle-of-the-road populists'
state convention in this city yester-
day, was the address by Prof. Geo. d..
Heron, of Iowa college. DR.. Heron
gave himself free rein in the declara-
ton of his convictions and reviewed
with caustic severity the defects.
While he denounced trusts and mod
ern cold commercialism, which he
branded as inhuman and brutallzing
in their effects upon mankind, he
frankly told his auditors that he did
not lay the blame at the door of the
so-called captains of industry, but
charged it to a system which an en-
lightened Christian sentiment would
not permit to linger on the threshold
an hour, if clearly understood. He
denounced the war in the Philippines
as criminal and a violation of the con-
stitution. The convention named a
full ticket as follows: For governor,
Charles A. Lloyd, of johnson county;
lieutenant governor, S. NJ. Harvey, of
Polk county; for chief justice of the
supreme court, L. II. Weller, Of Chick
asaw county; for superintendent of
public instruction, DR.. c. Wirth, Of
Benton county; for railroad commits
soner, Robert Dunning of Wappelo
county. The resolutl ons reaf1irm the
national platform adopted at Omaha
in 1892, declare for the free coinage of
silver at a ratio of &c to /, demand di-
rect Legislation and proportional rep
resentation; denounce trusts, and
urge that the Filipinos be accorded
the same treatment as the Cubans.

( Fifteen Chicago men, bankrupted by
the expense of gold hunting in the
Klondike, are reported to be stranded
in Seattle, Wash, while several other
Chicagoans have died of hunger or by
drowning while pursuing the elusive
yellow metal. Gold-hunting appears to
be a business in which the chances Of
a failure are extremely large and the
profits more or less Of an imaginary
character. A careful computation
would probably show that all the gold
taken out of the Klondike in the last
two years would fall far short of equal
