4 WISE APPOINTMENT.

Austin, ex.. Dee. 13-When asked to-
day by an Associated Press correspond
ent as to what he thought of Mr.. Aliens
appointment as Senator from Nebraska,
Mr.. Bryan replied:
Il think the appointment Of Mr.. Allen
ought to give universal satisfaction lie
made good record in the Senate ana
last year had the unanimous support OF
the Fusion members of the Legislature.
/ think that in making this appointment
the Governor acted wisely. There are
several Democrats i'm the State who
would have filed the Office acceptably,
hut the fact that Allen was last year the
choice of all three parties makes him the
logical man for the place. | have no
doubt that a Democrat will be chosen
next year to succeed Senator Thurston
and that will give our State Populist
and a Democrat in the Senate.

q large mastiff on the street late last
night.
At about 1890 last evening, AIR.
Clarke was walking along Washington
avenue in the direction of his home.
When he reached the corner of Pine
street, he saw a very large yellow mas-
tiff standing on the corner. AS he
passed he snapped his finger at the
animal and made some kind of re-
mark.
Without even growing the dog
sprang at Mr.. Clarke's face and fas-
tened its teeth in his right cheek. Mr..
Clarke knocked him away but the
brute sprang at him twice more but
finally turned and ran after being
kicked.
The injured man hurried to the office
Of DR.. S. p. Longstreet where the wounds
We're cauterized and dressed. There
were two very deep gashes in the cheek
one very near the eye. The facial ar
terry was severed and it was quite an
undertaking to stop the flow of blood
The doctor said that if the dog had bit
him a few inches lower the carotid ar.
terry would undoubtedly have beer
severed and fatal results have ensueG
before assistance could be obtained
Mr.. Clarke will make an earnest ef,
fort to locate the animal today and 4
he does so will have it shot.
