CHAPTER I'LL.


1t seemed to be generally acknowledge
ed by the Daintrec family that if Vera
would consent TO yield to the solicitations
of the Rev. Albert Gisbulne, and trans
fer herself to Tripton rcctory for life,
it would he the simplest and easiest solu-
tion of Il good many difficult problems.
Vera Ncvill WAS an homogeneous ele-
mcnt i'll the Daintrec household. In that
quiet. humdrnm country clcrgyman's life
She was as much out of her proper place
as Il bird of paradise in Il chicken yard,
or IL Gloirc de Dijon rose in n field of
turnips.
On the day after the scene we have
described She was walking drcamily along
under the trees in the lane beyond the
garden; she swung her hat idly In her
han for ii was warm for the time Of
year,. and the gold-brown leaves iuttered
down about her head and rustled under
The dark. trailing skirts.
About half Il mile UP the lane, beyond
the vicaragc, stood an old iron gateway
leading into n park. 1t was fanked by
square rcd-brick columns, upon whose
SUBMITS two stone grihins had looked
each other in the face for the space of
some two hundred years or so, pecring
grimly over the tops of the shields upon
which all the family arms and quarter
ings of the KynastOns had become softly
coated over by an indistinct veil of gray
green moss.
Vera turned in at this gate, nodding to
the woman at the lodge within. 1t was
her daily walk, for kynaston was unin-
habited and empty, and anyone was free
to wander %unreprovcd among its chest
nut glades. Vera did so often. The
square, red-brick building, with its stone
copings, the terrace walk before the win
dows, the peacocks summing themselves
before the front door. the fountain plash-
ing sleepily in the stone basin, the stat
ues down the square italian garden-all
had a certain fascination for her dreamy
poctical nature. Then turning in at the
high, narrow doorway, whose threshold
Mrs. Eccles, the ~housckeepcr, had long
ago given her free leave to cross, she
would stroll through the deserted rooms.

Attorney Irwin Gordon was up
from Nevada Wednesday, He filed
Il motion for the reinstatement OF
the o. X Caldwell cases on the cir
cult court docket. and this being
done, moved TO have them perma-

Although served with a notice. the
states attorney OF Vernon county
was not on hand TO contest the mo-
ton. and it was granted by Judge
Graves
Caldwell was the cashier of Neva-
da bank that failed in 1891, and
seven indictments werefound against
him. First a change of venue was
ia ken to Henry county and then he
was seized with a lung malady that
made Missouri air dangerous to his
life. For a while every term of court
he would have a physicians certifi-
cate setting forth his perilous condi-
ton. Finally the case went off the
docket with leave 10 re-instate: and
now they are permanently disposed
of. Caldwell is still out west: but
his malady will doubtless rapidly i'm
prove now so that he can venture
back whenever he SO desires.

the new chairman of the state popu-

to-day in this city and will cooperate
with the state democratic committee
in conducting a vigorous campaign.
He returned this morning from st.

with Chairman Seibert and the dem

were agreed upon which resulted in
Chairman Cooks taking charge at
once of the state campaign in so far
as the populist party of the state is
interested. The work and the re-

the democratic committee, but really

THAT Joint DISCUSSION.


J.B. Schmedding, chairman of the
popuIist committee for the 9th con-
rressional dist. sent a challenge to
Pevton A. Parks, chairman OF the
democratic committee to have W. ..
Atke9On and ID. \. DeArmond meet
in Joint debate Mr.. Parks, in an
swer to this defy, said, among other
things:
Il beg 10 say that in the
Judgment Of the committee there Is
no occasion for the Joint discussion
proposed. since both the democrats
and populiSts are earnestly support
ing BRYAN and Stevenson. ana near
Is all the great leaders OF the popu-
lists are III the field. battling side by
side with the democrats Tor their
election. and for the republic against
the empire. Most OF the local leaders
OF the popuIists are doing likewise.
and the rank and file, with but few
exceptions, are heartily engaged i'll
the same good work.
Under these circumstances. it would
seem that all pOpulists as we'll as
democratic speakers might find their
grestest opportunity for doing good
in opposition 10 the common enemy,
Hanna republicanism.
\ very wise, truthful and fair pre-
sentation of the matter True pOpu-
lists are standing by the actions of
their national convention and com
mittee and are supporting Bryan
and Stevenson earnestly and enthu-
siastically. No one denies that fact
except Atkeson, and the small Off
shoot he represents, who contribute
largely to the cause of true pOpulists
supporting the full state, congress
sional and county tickets.
Mr. Parks was clearly right in re-
jecting Mr.. AtkesOn's proposition.
All forces opposed to trusts, imperi-
alism. militarism. bank monopOlies
to control the currency issue. gold
bugism, Hannaism, etc, should
unite In common cause, and those
who work to divide these forces are
enemies of reform.
We DO not desire to be personal,
but it is the history of Mr. Atkeson's
connection with Bates county politics
that he invariably Joins withrepubli-
cans against democrats. The only
way he ever attempts to Justify his
course in that respect is that 1.-THE
democrats are in power in this cOun-
ty and therefore he could expect
nothing from them, admitting there
by that 1T is for persOnalaggrandize-
ment alone that he labors and not
for the great causes of reform. for
which he makes such great pretenses.
He invariably secures the nomina-
ton for some office and then makes
open and notorious dickers which
would disgrace any one else but At
keson. These things are not pleas
ant to relate, but go to make up the |
political history of the county.
We repeat that true populists are
DeArmOnd and he will be |
elected by the largest majority he
has vet received.

BRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Results OF the Deposit Of Immenss
0uantities Of Debris By the
Mighty Yukon nver

Prof. W. j. MCGEE, Of Washington.
declares that two slow but interesting
shanges are taking place in Behring
sea. The immense quantity of debris
that is borne down the Yukon from its
sources and sides is being deposited in
the sea beyond the mouth Of that
mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea &c subside. A cor
responding rise in the earth's crust is
produced along the chain of the Aleu-
tan islands. Now, not only are the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
of the water but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result Of the rise, and in others
they are the result of volcanic action.
Most of the Aleutians are Of volcanic
origin, and they mark the position OF
a fold in the earth's crust that is pre-
disposed to eruption. In time, Prof.
MCGEE says, there is likely to be a nat
ural bridge from America to Asia along
;his route. bet he admits that nobody
