Sir Reginald had never forbidden my
visits-he was too wise a man to tempt
fate in such a manner; he had merely
taken care that had no chance Of
solitary speech with my dear lady. l
knew now that the Lady Eleanor
Blewett, who filled, as best she might,
the place of the dead lady of the man
or to her daughter, Mistress Marget,
favored not my suit, SO I sought not
to have speech with her or with my
lady. Old Simeon I had been friends
with ever since, as a child. l had
played in the gardens with sweet Mis-
tress Marget. I knew he was my
friend and would help me. l knew also
that he might speak with his lady
when I might not unmatched and un-

story, and trusted him for his aid.
And there was the chink of gold
between us when we parted, albeit nv
lack of gold was the reason why Sir
Reginald had said me nay. upon nv
/. asking for his daughters hand. And
for gold-next to his love for pretty
Mistress Marget-old Simeon would do
more than most of us would do for the
sake of life.
That evening 1 happened to be
walking in the lane just as old Simeon
also came out to take the air. And a
note passed between us. Old Simeon
also instructed me as to where I could
find certain implements and tools-a

which l might need later on, per-
chance. And I gave to Simeon the

Varieties of Wheat.

The comparison of new and standard
varieties of wheat begun by the Penn
sylvania experiment station in 1887
has been continued through the pres
ent season. ALI the varieties were
badly injured by winter killing and
the Hessian fly. The yield was there
fore very low in comparison with other
years. The five varieties giving the
highest yield were:

The poorest variety, "Fultz Medi-

average of II bearded chaff varieties
was 14.41 bu., and of II smooth chaff
varieties, 12.47 bu., which accords
with the general belief that smooth
chaff varieties are affected more by
the Hessian fly than bearded chatf
varieties. The late sown wheat was
less affected by the fly than the early
sown. Four plots sown Aug. 81 and
four sown Sept. % gave an average

Democrats Have Reached the
Point Where They Must
Be Counted.

Washington, June 24.-With the Re-

Democratic party. The administration
people want to know what they will have
to go against, the opposition is figuring
on the best way to beat the Republican
games.
AS to the nomination of Bryan there
appears to be no more uncertainty than
there was Of the nomina ton of Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
The speculation all centers in the vice
presidency, and the talk at present is all
of Charles A. Towne and David p. Hill.
The former is the nominee of the Popu-
lists, having been selected at their con-
vention held at Sioux Falls, S. D. about
a month ago.
The question which promises to divide
the Democratic convention next month is
whether it will be better to accept the
Populists nominee or to come to New
York and by selecting Hill make work

The talk of Hill is very general, and
the nomination OF Roosevelt has made
strong argument to the appeals OF the
Hill advocates. They are now saying
that it is imperative that man be Sc
lected from the east preferably from
New York, to contest for the thirtysix
electoral votes OF that state.
The Democratic leaders profess to be-
lieve that the selection OF Roosevelt was
dictated by the administration in conse-
quenoe or fear lest New York go Dem
ocratic.
In order to conceal the real motive,
they say, the managers manoeuvered 80
it would appear that the demand for
Teddy came from the west and the action
of Kansas in getting first into line was
the result of quiet tip from tho inside.
This alleged apprehension for New
York will be an important element in
determining the action of the Democrat
ic convention.

Atlanta, June PA passenger train
on the Macon branch of the Southern
railway ran into a washout one and one

last night and was completely wrecked.
The wreck saught fire and the entire
train with the exception of the sleeper
was destroyed.
Every person on the train except the
occupants OF of the Pullman car perished.
Not member of the train crew escaped.

A cloudburst broke over that section
of the country at 6 O'Clock laet night and

Distinguished Visitors.

Darwin P. Kingsley, OF New York
City, accompanied by his wife will ar
rive in this city tomorrow. Mr.. Kings
ley is the third ice-president Of the
New York life insurance company and
enjoys in that position princely salary.
Mr.. Kingsley was formerly resident OF
this city, coming here in the early days
and associating himself with Edwin
Price in the publication of the Grand
Junction News.
While here he was the nominee of the
republican party for state auditor and
was elected. In that position in 1886
he made for himself sush a reputation
with the eastern insurance companies
that he at once secured very important
and responsible position with the New
York life insurance company, becoming
superintendent of state agencies and
from there being elected to the third
vice. presidency Of the company.
Several years ago Mr.. Kingsley mar
ried the daughter of the president of the
company, Miss Mccall. He now stands
in line to become the president OF the
company.
AS the vice-president Of tho company
he enjoys handsome salary, but as its
president, which he will in the future
doubtless become in the ordinary course
of events, he would enjoy princely
salary, almost il not equaling the salary
of the president OF the United States.
Mr. Kingsley was always regarded in
this state as one Of the keenest and most
incisive writer's in the states editorial
fraternity. he had the reputation of
having the courage oil his convictions
and was not slow in expressing them.
Many old friends OF Mr.. Kingsley will
be glad to welcome him back to this city
as visitor and as a friend of former
years in the city's early struggles. He
will be the guest with Mrs. Kingsley Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Price, DR.. Bull
and others during his stay.
