Governor Roosevelt Given a Tremen-
dous Ovation at Lincoln.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.-The census
just taken gives Lincoln's population
at forty thousand. From the appear
ance of the crowd at the station and
along the streets. in the windows, Oh
the balconies and in the state house
grounds. it would seem that the ponu.
lation was all at home today; that
they had invited their neighbors from
all the surrounding country, and that
they had all turned out to join in the
demonstration.
Nothing equal to it has yet been
seen during the progress of his jour
ney. which has now extended some
5000 miles and covering a period of
thirty days.
For some days preparations have
been made for a monster demonstra-
ton in honor of Governor Roosevelt,
the republican candidate for vice pres
ident, at that place, the home of Mr..
Bryan and the capital of the state.
The line of march of the carriages
from the station to the state house
square, something over a mile and Il
half, was lined with people every
where, and the wide streets we're fill
ed almost the entire distance to such
an extent that in many places it stop
ped the passage of the carriages and
the mounted escort.
Arriving at the state house square,
the governor was conducted to a re-
viewing stand on the street, and a
grand procession passed in review.
taking more than an hour.
There were unique and amusing
features in this parade. One was the
number of women on foot that took
part in it. First came about forty
young ladies of the city, in uniform
Of blue, occupying a place in the col
umn of march. At long intervals
came two other troops of ladies in uni
form.
The Ida Mckinley club, numbering
about so women, wore an outer gar
ment of stars and stripes, the stripes
forming the skirt of the dress, and the
blue background and the stars form
ing a shirt waist.
Some of the banners displayed were
amusing and others were significant.
One marching column pore this ban
ner: Third Nebraska: Oh, Billy,
why did you leave us?"
The Union Veteran Republican
league of some $50 members was car
rying a horseshoe forluck. They had
a banner bearing this inscription:
I'VE helped Abraham Lincoln in
1850. We are helping Mckinley now"
Another banner read: -Four gen
erations for Mckinley and Roosevelt;
father, son, grandson and great grand
son."
Another read: For Sale-An en-
larged front porch.-W. ]. B."
A German club passed bearing aloft
a full dinner pail, with bread and sau-
sage.
The Lincoln travelling men, 800
strong, bore this banner: Vim, Wig

Another sand: Eight more years

ed-No Watchmen Have Been
Ehployed-Mr. Brands on the

The city council discussed the
health of the city last night and some
of the statements made were alarm
ing in their nature. 1t was said that
eases is not being maintained and sev-
eral remarkable cases of its being ig-
nored were brought into the discus
sion. Flags have been taken down
from infected houses toe soon and the
proper precautions against the ON
ing and going OF persons likely to
spread c%ontagion have not, it was de-
clared, been taken.
One member of the council asked
whether watchmen had beer set over
the houses infected and the answer
was that not since the last diptheria
epidemic have any watchmen been
employed. Several doctors havecom-
planned to city officers of the insult
ficient protection afforded the city
against contagion and it was the opin-
ion of the councilmen that much of the
spread of disease lately has been due
entirely to carelessness in these mat
tiers. Several particular cases were
discussed but in the end no steps were
taken to remedy matters, except that,
the discussion having led up to this,
complaint will be made in a few days
against the owner of a certain bust
ness block because he has not had his
building connected with the sewer and

Strange Monsters.
Riding was the only alternative to
walking at the beginning of Eliza
beth's reign, and "A lady never rode
without six or seven serving men to
carry attire suitable to all contingent
cies, and the means to repair a toilet
which might suffer on the journey. To
diminish this cost coaches came into
use. They were introduced in 1000 by
a Dutch Goodman of the queen; but
We are told "a coach was a strange
monster in those days, and the sight
Of it put both man and horse into
amaZement; some said it was a great
crabshell brought out OF China. and
some imagined it to be the pagan
temples in which the cannibals wOr
SHIPPED the devil" But at length these
doubts were cleared and coachmaking
became a substantial trade. So rapid
was the increase of coaches that in
1901 an act OF parliament was passed
ito restrain the excessive and super
luous use OF coaches within this
realm" In spite of his innovation
no method could be devised which
made locomotion pleasant through
streets which were alternately tor
rents of dirt finding their way to the
Fleet ditch, and thick deposits of black
mud, which furnished a ready weapon
to any one who wished to express dis
appreciation. 1t is difficult for us to

or omnibuses.-Bishop of London. in

A Joke on Reed.

\ good story is told in West Vir-
ginia involving two of the congress
men from that snug little state and
Thomas b. Reed, the gigantic speaker
of the last house. The two West yir-
ginians are Blackburn b. Dovener and
Romeo Hoyt Freer. Both are small in
stature and wonderfully alike in their
general appearance. Together they
went up to the ponderous Maine man
to be introduced.
"Humph!" said Mr.. Reed, lis that
the best the Pcrsimmon state can
do?''

Freer.

ponies and the persimmons all

CHAPTER XVII.
THE PASSAGE OF THE BAY.

Now for some time after this no sound
came from within, and l stood by the helm

other on the cabin. As there was now no

bow, stern, or broadside, / sent Ames for

outbreak from below.
Still on the cabin house sat the young
lady, apparently unmoved by what had oc-
cured, and certainly unmoving, as her form,
which was just to be made out from my
post, was as quiet as the schooners figure

her state somewhat marveling at her self

great main boom with its furled sail. She
had greeted me with touch of her hand,
the first she had ever vouchsafed me, while
the quick turn of her eyes and the gleam of
her teeth (Which was all / could see of her
face) showed me that she was alert and still
self-contained. But not whisper of ques
tion did she bother me with, though for that
matter she had spoken not word since

| for the reason that through gratitude she
| would save my feelings, and the thought
was not comforting.
Dropping her hand, therefore, with the
word that all was going well, returned to
my post. In my expectancy and dread of l
knew not what, the minutes seemed to

a Boys Essay on Hornets.

A hornet is the smartest bug that
flies anywhere. He. comes when he
pleases. and goes when he gets ready.
One way hornet shows his smartness
IS by attending to his own business,
and making everybody who interferes
NTH him wish they had done the same
thing. When a hornet stings feller he
knows it, and never stops talking about
i as long as his friends will listen TO
him. One day 4 hornet stung my pa
(my pa is a preacher) on the nose, and
he Gid not do any pastoral visiting for
month without talking about that
hornet. Another way hornet shows
his smartness is by not procrastinating.
If he has any business with you he will
attend to it at once, and then leaves
you to think it over to yourself. He
don't do like the mosquito, who comes
fooling around for half an hour sing
ing: Cousin. cousin and then when
he has bled you all he can, dash away
yelling: NO kin" \ hornet never
bleeds you; but if he sticks you, you
will go off on a swell. l don't know

the instant, and before l realized that some
thing untoward had happened below, seem

hoarse voice shouted:

adrift and almost on US! Did We see that

'Ay! Where away is she?'' came an an

Hitherto my policy had been silence, but
Low it instantly struck me that to pay no
sttention to the hail would be but to pre-
cipitate ruin while yet there was forlorn
hope. If we came in collision, unless | an
swered they would board us in the twinklng
of an eye, while if we missed they would
be suspicious and start search, which,
blind as it would be, might end by their
running across US. Therefore ! at once sent
my voice back with all my power and with
out the least hesitation:
"Ay, ay; we've parted shackle and are
| losing ground. Will bring up in couple of
cables lengths if we clear you. Stand by
to take blow. What ships that:"
His majesty's sloop-of-war Ajax What
