Cartoons for Mckinley

For the first time the illustrated pa
pers are almost solidly united in sup
port of Mckinley and Roosevelt. Har-
per's Weekly and Puck, which in pre-
vious campaigns have not shown
much friendliness towards republican
candidates, are now throwing the
whole of their influence for them.
Judge, which has always been repub-
lican, is more republican than ever,
if that can be possible, while the
.sprightly and spitful little Life, which
at the beginning of the campaign had
not a good word to say for Mckinley
n Roosevelt, is now swinging round
rapidly to their support. 1t has not
an overwhelming regard for Mckin-
ley. but it has no regard whatever for
Bryan, and, finding itself at the part.
ing of the ways, has decided to take
the republican road. The unanimity
of the illustrated papers is significant.
Every one car understand a cartoon.

Nets as Wave Breakers.

The plan of using floating nets to
reduce the force of waves at sea or
at the mouths OF harbors. is being
tested in Paris. Such nets form a
crust over which the waves can not
climb, and under which they become
much 1attened out. A net lately made
is 30 feet long and fifty feet wide, with
square meshes Of one and a half
inches, the material being waterproof
hemp and the weight less than half
an ounce per quare foot. This was
anchored at the port of Havre to pro-
tect some unfinished hydraulic works
from a heavy surf.

Jack, you don't know Mrs. Traine."
However, my professional duties
were not so arduOus that | did not find
time to notice a trim little figure that
fitted in and out through the big en-
trance door, dressed always exquisite
ly, but quietly.
My interest in Mrs. Traine deepened
when l heard her story. Her husband
had been killed in a railway accident
three years before. The insurance
money was almost gone, and the little
support herself and invalid mother by
giving music lessons to a few wealthy
girls.
A daintier little rosebud of a woman
it would have been hard to find. Soft
brown hair, tossed in truant curls
about the low forehead, a voice thai
spoke always gently, blue eyes full Of
mirth, and a complexion that looked
like it had been bathed in the morning
dew.
Once or twice l held the big door
open for her to pass out, and bowed in
response to the low thank you" Ear
ly after my coming to the building a
boy on the top floor had been accom-
modating enough to get hurt in the ele-
vator, and | had been called in as the
most available physician. Luckily, I
brought the boy through so well that
his parents, as well as the youngster
himself, sounded my praises so loudly
that l found myself with quite a repu-
tation and incidentally a practice in
the n~eighborhood. Still, I had not met
Mrs. Traine, and | was beginning wick
eddy to hope that some accident-ever
so slight a one, of course-might hap
pen to her, a sprained ankle or wrist,
that l might have the joy Of caring for
her. However, the fates preserved Mrs.
Trai2e from accident, and ! continued
to watch for glimpses OF her from my
office window.
l had bowed the last patient out for
the evening and settled myself for a
smoke before bedtime. My medita-
lions, mingling with the blue curling
smoke, were interrupted by a piercing
screams, and then another. ] rushed
into the hall. The scream came from
the Traine apartment above. In another
minute l was knocking on the door,
which was opened by Mrs. Traine her.

gasped, catching hold Of my arm.
We've got him-out therein the pan

"Who?" l asked.
THE burglar. He hid in the dining
room-mamma saw him, and he ran
into the pantry-and locked the door
and-he's trying to jump out of the
window"
l heard a noise as of some one try
ing to push up a window, and opening
the pantry door there he was, a sure
enough burglar, evil-browed and sui
len, who dropped the window and
turned to face me.
You cant make a jump from that
window, my man." I said. You had
better be quiet"
l turned the lock again, but Mrs.
Traine, divining my purpose, chung to
my arm. Don't CO." she cried fran.

minute" Then, to my relief, the same
small boy who had served me so well

to quiet two hysterical women.

The Rustic for an Issue

The Rustic for an Issue
The paramount people were sud
denly stunned by the publication of
the full instructions to the Taft COM
mittee of the Philippines. They had
charged that these instructions would
not be published, because of some i'm
pcrialistic tendencies which were sup
posed to exist in them. But o so.
What did the publication disclose? A
bill of rights" identical with that of
our own constitution. Mr.. Bryan's
first paramount issue having been
pretty thoroughly exploded, he has al
lowed his "impe' l!ism' to fall back,
and is bringing up his trust issue as
the biggest kick" he has on the adj
m~inistratiOn. AS a paramount issue
hunter Bryan is an adept, but his
great difficulty seems to be in finding
one that will wear. Like a cheap
piece of cloth, the threads all run one
way. The warp may be there. but
there is no filling.-Guernsey Ga

Nothing in Common With Bryan

Wyoming has nothing in common

The Gallant Teddy

People who were in the crowd at
Rock Springs last Saturday night on
the occasion of Teddy Roosevelt's Wis
it saw an incident which illustrates
the quick determination of the man.
The doors of the opera house where
the meeting was to be held were not
opened until after the arrival of the
Roosevelt party. By the time the car
riages reached the entrance probably
500 or 1000 people were packed
around the entrance. Roosevelt had
to be lifted over the shoulders OF some
of the men in front in order to get in.
The moment the doors were thrown
open the crowd began to surge in and
the crush at the entrance became
something tremendous. Women
screamed and children cried. For a
moment it looked like there would be
a panic. Two little children became
separated from their parents, and
they were in great danger of being
trampled under the feet Of the excit-
ed people. Governor Roosevelt, see
ing their imminent danger. caught
them up in his arms and carried them /
the crowd into the opera
house to a place Of safety.-Rawlins

Prior to the year 19OO mol levies were

Prior to the year 1900 no levies were
made for the purpose of payment of
county funding bonds now about to
mature. The tax levy for the present
year includes for the purpose Of pay
ment of county bonds in the several
counties hereinafter named, levies as
follows:
Converse county ...........3 mills
Fremont county ............3 mills
Sheridan county,. ......1k mills
Sweetwater county .........1 mill
From the above it will be seen that
the total of the tax levies for the sew
eral counties is less in 1900 than it
was in 1894 by 1875 mills, notwith.
standing the fact that Big Horn was
organized since 1894 and this year
levied 10 mills for general purposes.
Adding this to the 1875 mills, we have
26.575 mills less taxation for general
purposes in the several counties than
in 1894, the year when democracy was
paramount In Wyoming.

PHILIPPINE RELICS.

Mr.. c. A. Richardson, who was Sec
ond Lieutenant of Company X in the
famous First Tennessee Regiment
which distinguished itself at Manila
and Iloilo, has made an exhibition at
Jackson of some priceless relics of his
stay in the Filipino country.
One of the principal objects that
catches the eye of the observer as he
stands IN front of the show window, is
a massive Japanese execution sword
which is estimated to weigh not less
than twenty pounds. The scabbard is
gold mounted and the engraved work
on the glittering blade is the highest
type of japanese art. The sword was
secured at Yokohoma when the First
Tennessee was returning home, and ev-
identity belonged at one time to Jap
anese military officer of high rank.
Crossed with this sword is a handsome
United States army sword which was
presented to Lieutenant Richardson
by Maj. John G. Mcclure, the command
er of Company KS battalion. An
other fierce looking weapon in the win
dow is a Filipino bolo, which has quite
a history attached, having been picked
up on the battlefield after the massacre
at Ell PadO in the island of Cebu in
which Lieutenant Richardson's com
pany participated. Several dark stains
on the blade of the weapon indicate
that it has seen bloody service.
The cash value of the display is
placed at S1200: but it could not be
purchased for that sum.

.SAM JONES on DENEN.

The Rev. Sam Jones has been devot-
ing some thought to the uXorious adj
miral, and he expresses some of his
nominations in the Atlanta Journal;
Admiral Dewey was hero. What
is he now? Admiral Dewey never said
or did an unwise thing, so far as the
public knows, before his recent mar
riage; if he has done or said a wise
thing since said marriage the public
has been left in profound ignorance.
Funny John Allen, of Mississippi, said
this country could not afford to make
Dewey president. He was asked why,
and replied: Because he would give
it to his wife the next day Markus,
or Mckinley Hanna said another good
thing the other day on Dewey's candi-
dacy, when he said the battle for the
presidency would be fought on land
and not on the water.
"A man can afford to be a young
fool, but no man can keep the respect
of the community after he gets to be
an old fool.
Henry Grady died at the very acme
of his career, Lincoln was assassinated
when he was standing on the pinnacle
of his glorious career; Garfield died at
the hand of an assassin also surround
ed by millions of sympathizing friends;
Grant outlived his fame; Blaine did;
Cleveland has. Oh! the fckleness of
business. Whenever the public gets
through worshipping its idol then it
hollers, cruelty him Dewey was a
great admiral; Dewey is very com
mon citizen, and in politics, as the boys
put it, he isn't in it at ALL"

The Supreme Court last week rem
dered decision which vitality affects
the State Board of Health, and which
will be of profound interest to the rail
roads and travelling public. The de-
cision in effect denies the power of the
Board of Health to restrict railroad
traffic between noninfected points, and
declares that the companies are not
bound by the orders of the board in
such cases. The case was that of Os-
car Wilson against the Alabama Great
Southern Railway Company. Wilson
was in Meridian during the last State
quarantine. Acting under a general
order of the State Board of Health,
which prohibited travel from point to
point inside the State, the company re-
fused to allow Wilson to board their
train. Wilson brought suit in the
Circuit Court of Lauderdale for dam
ages.

HON 4. C.. MN1IR NOT IN IS
pIR1NT FOR CONGRESS-
IONAL HONORS.

The action of the congressional DIS
trict executive committee is expected
to bring a large crop of candidates
into the field. Hon, Pat Henry, the
present Representative Of the district,
strongly favored a primary election,
and his friends on the committee
fought hard to secure a primary, and
it was generally understood that a
competitor would have but little
chance against Mr.. Henry on a direct
vote Of the people With a conven-
ton, however, men who are strong In
one or two counties will be encouraged
to come out and bring their county
delegations up to the convention in the
hope of being able to make the lucky
combinations which might eventually
result in success. Since the commit
tee adjourned there are already rumors
out about new probable candidates:
Prominent among those mentioned
are Senator Chas. Lee OF Madison,
Hons. Ben II. Wells, r. H. Henry and
Il. Wharton of Kinds, McNair of Lin
coin, and VIM. Williams. of Copiah.
Each county is left to select its dele
gates in its own way, provided,
however, that all the counties must
act on the same day. There is scarcely
doubt that there will be a deadlock
when the convention meets and Mr..
Henry has hard fight ahead of him.
