weakest sister of any party in the
Sixth district, by about the same plur-
ality by which Mccormick was elected
in 1896.
Reeder's election opened the eyes of
more than One-third Of the POpulists,
among whom was J. 3. Dykes. They
said: I'VE must have the Democrats
with US in 1900; we must capture them
before they get to thinking for them
selves But alas for procrastination!
The Democrats realized their advantage
early in the year. Nearly every county
demanded the nomination of a Demo-
crat to oppose Reeder More than one
third of the Populists shared with the
Democrats their righteous demand for
a Democrat as the Fusion nominee and
naturally the Populist eye was focused
on fully Scott, the man, who by his
nagnanimity in withdrawing in $780,
paved the way for four Populist con-
gressmen in this district in succession
q record equaHed by no other district in
the state.
DR.. Dykes started out in his campaign
for the Fusion nomination by making
the point blank statement that he want
ed the nomination for congress in oppo-
sition to Reeder but that if he could not
get the Democratic nomination he would
not accept the nomination from the Pop
uiist convention. DR.. Dykes came to
Lincoln early in February accompanied
by r. H. Hanley of Mankato, and J. d.
Van Hook of BelOit who came along
to vouch for Mr.. Dykes early-day De-
mocracy. VanHook and Hanley were
present when Dykes stated to a gather
ing of Democrats comprised of J. r.
Logan, presidential electOr in SO; Geo
d. Abel county attorney; James ScheI-
linger, assistant cashier of the Saline
Valley bank; L. 2. Stewart, dentist; J..
B. Ryan, stockman; J. D. Brockett,
councilman and the writer that he was
as good a Democrat as any Of the
gathering; that he was a Tennessee
Democrat and that he always had been;
that he would not accept a nomination
for congress that did not bring with it
was chairman of the Populist county
central committee of Smith county, and
had been for six years, but that meant
nothing except that he would eventually
herd the Populfsts of Smith county into
the Democratic fold" Next morning,
when escorted about Lincoln by the
writer, and introduced to Democrats
like Councilman J. r. Hunter J J. Nc
and others of equal prominence, he re-
peated the story told previously.
Three days before the Democratic
congressional convention convened the
writer of this received a letter from
Dykes practically repudiating his state
ments to the Democrats of Lincoln, say
ing in substance that after a careful
sizing up the situation he was con
WINGED that the Populists were going to
demand the nominee for congress- and
that If it would not stretch the con-
sciences of Lincoln county Democrats
too much he would like their support
just the same as though he was a Dem
ocrat.
The Democratic convention was held
at Colby, April 2-3. DR.. Dykes name
was not mentioned in the convention:
he received not a single vote on the in
formal ballot: his own duality to the
Democrats entitled him to none He
could not have received the Endorsement

DIED FROM HEAT.
Trying Experience of the Signal
Corps on March to Pekin.

Corps on March to Pekin.
Washington, Oct. 5.-A private letter
has been received by an officer in the
war department from Lieutenant Stan
ford of the signal corps, which gives a
brief but interesting account of the work
OF the signal corps, on the way from
Tien Tsin to Pekin. He says that ow-
ing to the lack of transportation, the
work of the signal corps was very diff
cult. General Chaffee found it neces-
saTy to take every wagon and cart that
had been shipped from the Philippines
in order to carry the supplies he needed
for his army, consequently the signal
officers had to sl1irmish for transporta-
ton. Lieutenant Stanford says he
picked up teams and carts from any
nation that could be induced to part
with them and sometimes few questions
were asked as to the real proprietary
interest in the transportation outfit He
speaks of the very hot weather which
was encountered, 50 hot that men who
were accustomed to excessive heat, suf-
fered severely One day two laborers
with his party dropped dead from the
heat.
Notwithstanding all of these difficult
ties the signal corps pushed along and
though General Chaffee was in advance
some times during the day. the wire was
nearly always up with him at night
Lieutenant Stanford's party consisted
of himself and twelve men of the corps
THE Japanese said he, were a. few
miles behind us with 100 enlisted men
and 20 carts for transportation, but I
was determined that they should not
beat US into Pelxin and they did not

to have had the experience, but he
would not go through it again, if he can
avoid it,
