Largest Towboat Afloat.

The new towboat, ]. B. Finley, the
largest and most powerful towboat
ever constructed, arrived here yester-
day morning on her first trip,and Cap
tain Charles Menges gave her thirty
one empty ccal barges for her first
tow. When she entered the harbor
yesterday morning she was saluted by
all the steamboats, blowing their whis-
ties and the chorus was augmented
by the noise OF the whistles OF all the
coal elevators, steam coal diggers and
many of the factories along the river
The noise was deafening. and il
brought hundreds, il not thousands, OF
persons TO the river front The ]. b
Finley was built by the Pittsbure
Transportation Company, which wa
absorbed by the Monongahela River
Consolidated Coal and Mining Comp
any, and il was part of the contract
OF the former company to finish tbs
boat, which was then building, and
which was named the Transporter, be-
fore turning her over to the combine.
The boat is named in honor of the
President OF the Monongahela River
Consolidated Coal and Mining Comp
any. She is not only the largest tow
boat ever built, but she Is the most
powerful. She has compound engines
Her steam is generated by eight steel
boilers, and all the water she uses for
making steam is filtered before it goes
into the boilers. 1t is expected that
she will be able to make trip from
Cincinnati to New Orleans and returl
without having to stop TO clean boil
ers. All steam except that which Is
used to blow the whistle is condensed
after being used. She cost 100000,
Captain Menges was delighted with
her yesterday. and says she handles"
like a pool boat. She makes steam
very easily. and does not use much
more coal than the harbor boat Re-
lief. Her officers are: Master. Wal
ter Carroll; Pilots, Jos. w. Gould and
Bentley Clark. David Longwell, the
veteran engineer, has charge OF her
engines. She started up the river yes
terday afternoon with 81 empty barges

Had blackberry Dnmplings for M,
Midday Neal. lie Made Elm Himself
at Farmhouse Over In Nicholas
County, rs the Housewife Didn
Know How.
Over in Nicholas county few
days ago a strange man travelling a
country road appeared at the door
of a farm house and asked il he
could stay for dinner. The far
mer's wife said that she didn't have
much TO eat, but that if he would
be satisfied with what she had he
was welcome to stay. With true
gallantry he told her that what was
good enough for her was good
enough for him, and she asked him
in. Seeing basket of blackberr-
les. fresh out of the patch, the
stranger remarked that there was
nothing he liked better than black
berry dumplings and that if she
would only give him some of them
for dinner he would not ask for
anything more. The woman said
she did not know how to make
them.
"Well, you bring me some flour
and berries and few other neces-
sary ingredients and l will show
you how to make a dish fit for a
king" said the man. With his
sleeves rolled up and his hands in
the flour, he was soon engaged in
the art of making dumplings. The
man was John II. Holt, the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor, and
he had his dumplings for dinner.
King Alfred, when he was left to
watch the cakes, permitted them to
burn and got scolding for it.
Judge Holt made his dumplings and
the housewife told him when she
tasted them that she thought he had
wasted lot of good flour and ber
ries. Just before he left the woman
found out who Holt was and told
him that if he would practice some
on his cooking she would come and
take dinner with him some time af
ter the fourth of next March in the
Executive Mansion.
That is the kind of campaign
Judge Holt is making. He is going
into the mountains and valleys and
before the election he will know
personally nearly every man, woman
and child in the State Playing the
fiddle where it is wanted, making
dumplings to help the housewives
with their work, riding the babies
on his back, whatever he does he is
making friends and the result is that
ne IS gaining ground day by day
and the Indications wherever he has
been are that he will poll a tremen.

SWEETHEART
Wagered on the Result or the Presiden.
tiaI Election.

TorEEA, KAN, Aug. 25.-James
Bradley has wagered his sweetheart.
Miss Mary Kinkaid, on the result
of the election with Willis Wilker-
son. Bradley is Republican and
Wilkerson is a Democrat. They
live in Dudley Township, Haskell
County, in the western part of the
State. 1t is a small township and
contains only six qualified voters.
In 1896, it was the only township
in the United States which gave a
majority for Palmer and Buckner.
They got three votes, Mckinley two
and Bryan one. The wager is on
the election in the township. There
being no Gold Democrat ticket this
year Wilkerson hopes to get all
three of those votes for Bryan and
thus win a bride. The two men
have been counting Miss Kinkaid
for over year and both have re.
peatedly urged mstrimony. Being
unable to make choice she sug-
gested that the question be settled
BY the election in Dudley Town
ship Her suggestion was adopted.
She enters into the compact and
agrees TO mary Bradley if McKin.
ley receives the majority Of votes in
the township, or Wilkerson If Bry.
an receive a majority. The idea
was probably suggested by similar
wager made in that county last
week. J. b. Johnson wsgered hi.
