DEPENDS ON THE ELECTION.
Kansas Comes to the Front With
Another Unique Bet.

Miss Mary Kincaid is the prettiest
girl in Dudley township, Haskell,
county, Kan. Miss Kincaid has two
ardent admirers, and she has been try
ing for more than wear to decide be-
tween them, says the Chicago Trib-
une. She likes them both, and, as
nearly as she can determine, she likes
them equally. The other day the
three. James Bradley, William Will
kerson and Miss Kincaid, were talking
together about the coming election.
Bradley is republican and Wilker-
son populisU. Suddenly, as the two
men discussed the claims of their re-
spective parties, bright idea struck
Bradley.
~ tell you what" he said, suppose
we let the result of the election in
Dudley Township decide which one of
us shall marry Nary"
Wilkerson agreed, AMI Miss Kincaid
also gave her consent. The PROPOSE
ton was put into writing and all three
township Bradley is to lead Miss Kin
caid to the altar. If Bryan gets a ma
iority of the votes Wilkerson is to take
his place as bridegroom. In case of a
tie the two men are to draw lots for
Miss Kincaid's hand.
Dudley township is the only town
ship in the United States which went
for Palmer and Buckner in 1896 At
that election only six votes were cast,
three for the candidate OF the gold
democrats, two for Mckinley and one
for Bryan. Since that time two new
voters have moved in, one a Swede
who announces that he will vote for
Bryan, and the other a negro who has
proclaimed his allegiance to the repub-
lican ticket:
Bradley and Wlkerson will devote
most OF their attention 10 the three men
who voted for Palmer and Buckner
four years ago.

BRYAN'S BRILLIANT PER0RATlGN.

After laying bare the dangers of i'm
perialism in his speech of acceptance,
Mr.. Bryan closed with the following
tribute to our republic:
81 can conceive of Il national destiny
surprising the glories of the present
and the pasta destiny which meets
the responsibilities OF to-day and meas
ures up to the possibilities Of the fu-
ture.
Behold a republic resting securely
upon the foundation stones Quarried py
revolutionary patriots from the noun
tain of eternal truth-a republic apply
inc in pratice and prOclaimin@ to the
world the self-evident propositions
that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed with inalienable
rights that governments are institute
ed among men to secure these rights
thai governments derive their just
powers from the consent OF the gov
erned.
Behold a republic in which civil
and religious liberty stimulates all to
earnest endeayor and in, which the law
restrains every hand uplifted for
neighbor's irjury-a republic in which
every citizen is a sovereign, but IN
WnlCl no one cures W WCol a VI IL
Behold republic standing erect
while empires all around are bowed
beneath the weight of their own ar
maments-a republic whose flag is low
ed while other flags are only feared.
Behold a republic increasing in
population, in wealth, in strength,
and in influence, solving the prob
lens of civilization and Fastening the
coming of universal brotherhood-a
republic which shakes thrones and
dissolves aristocracies by its silent eX-
ample and gives light to those who sit
in darkness.
Behold a republic gradually but
surely becoming the supreme moral
factor in the worlds progress and the
accepted arbitrator of the worlds dis
putes-a republic whose history, like
The path of the just, lis the shining
light that shineth more and more I'M
TO the perfect day"

THE RATTLESNAKE'S MASTER.
South Carolina College Has Weed Which
Is Sure Death to the REPTILE Poison.


Is Sure Death to the Reptiles Poison.
a dispatch from Charleston, S. c.,
says: The horticultural department at
Clemson coliegel the state agricultural
and mechanical institution, is making
an experiment with weed which is
said to be a sure death to poison result
ing from the bite 'Of a rattlesnake.
The weed is known as the rattlesnake's
master. 1t is a communicating weed
with nothing to distinguish it. 1t
brings a white blossom once year.
Reliable persons who had the college
take the weed and grow it for expert
mental purposes say its good offices
cannot be questioned or doubted, and
it is said that part of the weeds root,
when applied to the wound made by
snake, has an immediate effect. The
poison is quickly thrown off, and the
use of the weed does not leave and bad
results.
A prominent citizen who has been
identified with Clemson college is au-
thority for the statement that the weed
will never fail when properly used.
Some years ago, he says, he went up
into the Blue ridge mountains, carry
ing some of the root with him. On
the road was found a rattlesnake. To
test the properties of the root a part
of it was fastened to the end of Il pole,
and this was showed near the snake,
which had just coiled itself as if ready
for an attack. The action was instan-
taneous, but instead Of showing more
fighting signs the RATHER moved about
and was preparing to run away. The
pole was showed quickly to head him
of, and when leased to the maddening
point the snake endeavored to bury its
head in the earth. Failing in this,
and when rushed by the plant, the
snake drove its fangs in it's own body
and in short time was dead,

$1,000 FROGS IN CHICAGO.
lust One Days Business. Department Stores
Keeping Frog Tanks.

A Chicago dispatch says South
Water istreet merchants report that
more than $1,000 frogs were sold yes
terday in Chicago This is much big
ger than the average Saturday sale,
which is $4,000. More than 300, 600 are
sold each week. Almost al the de-
partment stores sell frogs at retail.
The frogs are shipped into Chicago
from all the nearby western states.
They are raised in frog farms, except
in low and marshy localities, where
the frogs raise themselves without cul-
tivation. The croakers are caught by
small boys and put into boxes full of
wet grass.
The department stores have their
frog tanks upon the top floors. The
frogs are hardy creatures and manage
to exc out an existence in their city
homes in the department stores for a
month without being fed. The demand
for big, fat frog legs for the table is
away ahead of the supply.

Progress and Retrogression.

In the world of matter, as well as in
the world of mind, there are two general
principles constantly active, working in
opposite directions.
Life itself consists Of action and re.
action. The centrifugal and centripetal
powers keep all the astral bodies in their
orderly motions. And in the world OF
mind and all the respective walks of hu-
man life, the corresponding principles of
action and reaction, or Of PROGRESS and
RETRoGREssIoN, are constantly at work,
for good and for evil.
In our national household we had al
ways two dominant parties, represent.
ing and defending these two general
principles or tendencies. The names OF
these parties have several times been
changed in the course OF time, as well as
their general tendencies, but the deep
and constantly running streams of pro-
gress aud retrogression have always been
active, as they are at the present time.
The Republican party Of Lincoln has
so radically been changed that only its
name has been left; because the prin-
ciples which it now defends are re action
airy. Whether you call it IMPERIALISM
or moneyed OliRarchy, it is all the
same tlHng. Republicans may deny the
charge of imperialism, but the facts OF
that Oligarchy stare every thinking man
in the face, wherever he looks. This
Oligarchy is now hard at work to set at
naught the government of the people,
by the people, and for the people," The
party of Lincoln now looks very much
like the party Of Bryan, VOTER.

Two characteristic anecdotes Of

Bright was supposed TO be total all

having TO make an important speech In
the house. Bright said:
"Well. Mall. II l were you, I'd for
once go and have n pint Of cham
pagne."
Mr. Mail did as he was told, and the
result may be judged from the narra-
tors comment that champagne on an
unaccustomed interior Is not always Il
curative or a tonic"
Bright rarely had any difference
with his wife" but occasionally they
were not at one about the children.
When they came TO point Of absolute
disagreement. he used TO say:
"Now. tell thee, II thou doesn't do
