ory again returned to the subject, un-4
til John, in his perplexity, got the idea
that propriety demanded that he
should have q housekeeper against his
daughters coming, and then he did go
and do, in his masculine stupidity, just
exactly what they wouldn't t have had
him do for worlds invite a woman, Of
whom none of their number had ever
heard, to come from Omaha and take
the domestic management of hishearth
and home. All he knew of her was
what he heard there She was the
widow of a volunteer officer who had
died of disease contracted during the
tute, accomplished, and so devoted to
her church duties. She was interest
ing and refined and highly educated.
He heard the eulogiums pronounced
by the good priest and some of his
flock, and Mrs. Fletcher, a substantial
person of some 40 years at least, was
duly installed.
Fort Emory was filed with women
folk and consternation-mos of the
men being afield. The seething ques-
tion of the hour was whether they
should call on her, whether she was to
be received at the fort, whether she
was to be acknowledged and recognized
at all, and then came, mirabile dictu, q
great government official from WASH
ington to inspect the Union Pacific
and make speeches at various points
along the road, and Mrs. Fletcher,
mind you, walked to church the very
next Sunday on the honorable secre-
tary's arm, sat by his sidewhen he drove
out to hear the band at Emory and re-
ceived with him on the colonel's veran-
da, and that settled it. Received and
acknowledged and visited she had to
be. She might we'll prove a woman
worth knowing.
Within a fortnight she had made the
new homestead blossom like the rose.
Within month everything was in per-
feet order for the reception of EEnor
and her school friend-a busy, anxious
month, in which Folsom was fitting to
| and fro to Reno and Frayne, as we have
seen; to Halls ranch in the Medicine
Bow, to Rawhide and Laramie, and the
reservations in northwestern Nebras-
ka; and it so happened that he, was
away the night Maj. Burleigh, on his
way to the depot, dropped in to inquire
| if he could see Mr.. Folsom a moment on
important business. The servant said
he was not in town-had gone, she
thought, to Omaha. She would inquire
of Mrs. Fletcher, and meantime would
the major step inside? Step inside, and
stand wonderingly at the threshold Of
the pretty parlor, he did; and then
| there was a rustic Of silken skirts on
the floor above, and as he turned to
listen his haggard, careworn face took
on look something like that which
overspread it the night he got the let
ter at Reno-something that told Of be-
wilderment and perplexity, as quiet,
modulated voice told the servant to tell
the gentleman Mr.. Folsom might not
return for several days. Burleigh had
no excuse to inger, none to ask TO hear
that voice again; yet as he slowly de-
scended the steps it's accents were still
strangely ringing in his ears. Where
on earth had he heard that voice be-
fore?

CHAPTER v.

Mid June had come, and there was
the very devil to pay = so said the
scouts and soldiers up along the Big
Horn. But scouts and soldiers were
far removed from the states and cities
where news was manufactured, and
those were days in which our Indian
outbreaks were described in the press
long after, instead of before, their oc-
currence. Such couriers as had got
through Frayne brought dispatches
from the far-isolated posts along that
beautiful range, insisting that the
Sioux were swarming in every valley.
Such dispatches, when wired to Wash
ington and referred" to the depart
ment of the interior and re-referred to
the head of the Indian bureau, were
scoffed at as sensational.

THE IOWA REPUBLICANS.

the Philadelphia convention: Cover
nor Leslie NJ. Shaw, Htnry French, DR..
T. H. Smith. Lafayette Young. Con-
gresham Cousins was the temporary
chairman. His speech was greeted
with enthusiastic applause.
Mr. Cousins devoted some time to a
comparison Of the nations finances
under the administrations Of Cleveland
and Mckinley. He then compared the
foreign trade Of the United States un-
der the present and the preceding ad-
ministrations, showing that the bal
ance Of trade in our favor during the

conduct Of the war and its treatment

declaring absurd the claim that the
constitution of its own force extends

Puerto Rico. needing the suggestion Of
the president, congress dealt with that
island on the most liberal and loyal
terms
Congress removed So per cent Of the
tariff duties and by the same act en-
powered the legislative body Of Puerto

ing free intercourse at their option,
and in the meantime giving for their
benefit every dollar Of all taxes that
have been or shall be collected. The
history Of our world reveals no such
magnanimity to any outlying territory,
people or possession as has thus far
been exercised by the United States
toward Puerto Rico" In closing he
said: THE nineteenth century has
been made the most illustrious century
Of time by three unparalleled achieve

we will crystalixe the voters who are
opposed to the policy and methods of
the republican party into a grand. in
vincible phalanx, which viii move on
to victory at the polls.
Fortunately for us. We have in our
ranks men who measure up to the re-
Quirements Of the occasion. And am
proud Of the privilege to name, in be-
half OF my state, one Of her citizens,
whom we offer as a candidate-a man
lpre-eminently qualified in all respects
to stand beside the matchless Bryan
as his running mate in this great race
for liberty and human rights. The
man whom l have in mind was born
and reared In the state Of Michigan.
As member Of congress and a noted
leader in politics. Minnesota is his
adopted state.
In 1884 he ran as an anu-machine
candidate for congress on the repub-
lican ticket, and was elected by 10.40O
majority, overcoming an opposition
majority of 500 votes. He was then. as
now, pronounced advocate Of bl-met-
alism, which was a cardinal tenet of
his party's platform in that district.
He had the honesty and courage to
adhere to his convictions, and when his
party in convention at st. Louis. in
1886. turned its back upon bimetalism.
he. with Senator Teller and other
great leaders. walked out Of the con-
vention and adhered to the cause OF
the people and supported the allied
ticket and cause in that ever memoir
able contest. In 1896. and again in
1898. ne was the fusion candidate for
member OF congress in the sixth Min
nesota district, and in both contests
came within a few hundred vots OF
being elected. although he was made a
special target Of Mark Hanna and his
methods.
Such courage as he has displayed
N turning his back upon preferment

powerful party and following his hon
EST convictions. TO meet defeat and a
bitter struggle for his very existence,
has proved his title to our confidence

COMING WHEAT CROPS.
Winter Cold and Hessian Fly Reduces
the Average in Many States.

WASHINGTON. May 1O.-The month
ly report of the agricultural depart
ment is as follows:
Returns to the statistician OF the
department Of agriculture to May /
show the area of winter wheat in cul-
tivation on that date to have been
about 26,5S5,OOO acres, or 11.S per cent
less than the area estimated to have
been sown last fall. The reduction in
acreage in the principal states is Ow-
ing to the winter killing and the raw
ages Of the Hessian fly.
For the area remaining under culti-
walton the average condition on May
LIST was 8S.9 points. This average is
6.2 points above the mean of averages
Of the last ten years and has been
exceeded only three times in fifteen
years.
