A correspondent of Chicago news
paper finds peculiar significance in
the fact that the call for the Demo-
cratic National Convention does not
mention the financial issue at any
point. This is the merest mares nest.
The call reads: "All Democratic
conservative reform citizens OF the
United States, irrespective CT past pO.
litical associations and differences who
can unite with us in an effort for pure,
economical and constitutional govern
ment, and who favor the republic and
oppose the empire, are cordially in
vited to Join us in sending delegates to
the convention" The only change
from the historic form of the call Is to
be found in the insertion OF the word
" reform" after conservative, and the
phrase "who favor the republic and
oppose the empire" 1t is never Gus
tomary to outline issues in the call Tor
the convention.

TOWN LOTS FOR POKER CHIPS
How Mrs. Dewey May Inherit Fortune from
Her First husbands Sporting Habits.

How Mrs. Dewey May Inherit 4 Fortune from
Her First husbands Sporting Habits.
Deeds for town lots were used as
poker chips in the "boom" days of
Wichita, Kan. 1t was then that Gen.
Hazen, the first husband of Admiral
Dewey's present vile, won fifty or
more lots, fully third of the town as
it then existed. Mrs. Dewey now
wants to sell the lots, but is having
trouble to prove title.
Harvey Fleming. now editor of the
Kansas City Journal, and Charles A.
Edwards, correspondent of the Hous-
ton Post, were in Wichita in the early
sos and knew about the town-lot
game. Mr.. Fleming said:
"Gen. Hazen was in Wichita taking
observations. The town was filled
with real estate agents, boomers and
spectators. Gen. Hazen was q
lucky poker player AMI was regarded
as dangerous opponent at the week.
ly sittings.
"The game in which the town lots
were won was wonder. 1t was FIVE
handed, the players being Gen. Ha-
zen. Dave Payne, Oklahoma Harry
Hill, Capt. Crouch and Dare Ban
croft. Payne, Hill and Crouch were
all interested in the opening for settle.
ment of Oklahoma.
"Cash was played for when the
game began, as Gen. Hazen was averse
to putting up real money against the
fictitious values of town lots. After
Gen. Hazen had secured most of the
cash in sight the other players, to
continue the game, reached an agree
ment of an upset price on all town
lots. This was satisfactory to Gen.
Hazen.
"The game went on. First one
man would own an entire section of
the city, and then another would hold
title.
"a stack of blues would often rep
resent an entire subdivision. Gen.
Hazen was great hand at 'blufing.'
A jackpot came around, with only
Gen. Hazen, oklahoma Harry Hill
and Dave Bancroft playing. Bancroft
opened. Hazen drew three cards,
Hill one, and Bancroft stood pat
Bancroft bet few city lots and
Hill dropped out. Gen. Hazen raised
the bet and Bancroft, believing he
was blufing, tilted it again. Gen.
Hazen saw the raise and went him q
few lots better. After another raise
Bancroft called and Gen. Hazen laid
down four kings or queens, 1 don't re-
member which. Bancroft had q jack
full. In this way Gen. Hazen became
the owner OF the fifty town lots.
"Nearly every one who participated
in this game is dead. Capt. Crouch
was shot in Oklahoma shortly after
the territory was opened; Oklahoma
Harry Hill was kicked in the head by
a mule in Texas and died; Gen. Ha-
zen is dead. l don't know how Payne
died, and do not know that Dave Ban
croft is in the land OF the living.
"When the bottom dropped out of
the Wichita boom the values OF prop
erty rapidly decreased. Property is
now going up. and if Mrs. Dewey can
prove title she has fortune there"

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTOM FRIDAY EVENING" APRIL o. 1900

the British imperialists and jingoes to
believe that we are arm in arm with
them for grand Anglo Saxon coat
trailing promenade in the far East.
The American people may we'll be
alarmed at this outlook. Not because
they are hostile to Great Britain in
the East or elsewhere, nor because
they are averse to friendly relations
with her, as with all other nations, so
long as American honor and interests
are not threatened by them. But
they are decidedly opposed to the
abandonment of the old American
policy so clearly defined in Washing
toms farewell address. They still have
faith in Washington's wisdom in ad.
vising them to have with foreign ma.
tions "as little political connection as
possible" to steer their course entire.
ly clear of the interests OF Europe and
not to "implicate ourselves by arti-
fetal ties in the ordinary vicissitudes
of her politics or the ordinary combi-
nations and collisions of her friend.
ships or enmities." Hence in the
coming national campaign one OF the
largest questions that will have to be
answered will be that which Washing
ton put in those memorable words,
"why quit our own to stand upon for
eign ground? Why, by Intervening
our destiny with any part Of Europe,
entangle our peace and prosperity in
the tolls of European ambition, rival
ship, interest, humor or caprice"
This is the great Asiatic riddle for
the champions OF the imperial policy
in the Philippines and elsewhere to
answer. Why exchange our absolute
independence as nation for an inter-
national partnership with Great
Britain or any other foreign country? =?

Opinion of the late Guy v. Henry,

A team hitched to a milk wagon,
belonging to Cauthorn s. Ackman,
ran away Saturday morningat s O'Clock
and one horse was so badly crippled
that he had to be killed; his leg being
broken. The team started from the
Planters Hotel and ran north on Clark
Ave. to Monroe St, where they turned
west and ran two blocks where, in
front of Sam Morris residence, they
collided with a tree, one Of the horses
having his leg broken. 1t was necessa-

Catarrh is systemic disease, durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does. Perunaimmediately
invigorates the nerve-centers which
give vitality to the mucous membranes.
Then catarrh disappears. Then eatarrh
is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever lo-
Gated. Peruna is not a guess nor an ex-
periment-it is an absolute scientific
certainty. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.

EX-GOVERNOR W. j. STONE is home
from New York City, where he has
been for some two or three months in
charge of the Democratic campaign in
the east. From an interview, published
in the st. Louis Republic, we clip the
following: "Mr. Stone reiterated his
statement that he had high opinion
of Mr.. Bryan, and declared that,
although he might not be nominated
for President again, he would exert a
good influence. There is belief that
16 to as a ratio, having been the lead
ing question in 1876 and a prominent
issue in 1900, with large popular vote
against it both times, should be dis
continued. / have never attached
great Importance to the ratio. | have
been an advocate Of bimetallism. y
