recruiting these men Is necessary, as the

DR.. Wills in "The Land of the Lion

Wills relates that he was conversing

OF courtiers and priests filled the room.
The prince narrated his exploits in
Hunting the antelope the previous day,

'"I leant forward. and unclasping my

Some Gossip About Judge Henry Clay
CaldNall. Of Arkansas.

Warrington Post: Comparatively lit
tie talk 10 heard among the members
Of the committee regarding the vice
presidential nomination. There was
naturally some discussion Of the state
ment OF Senator Allen, OF Nebraska, to
the Popullst national committee. report
ed in the Post yesterday, that Judge
Henry c. Caldwell, Of Arkansas, would
be acceptable to the Democracy II
named BY the PopuliBts.
II do not believe" said Senator
Jones, OF Arkansas, the chairman Of
the Democratic national committee,
"that Senator Allen said tina! the DEM
ocrats had agreed to nominate Judge
Caldwell. because, as q matter OF fact,
no such agreement has been or could be
reached. Judge Caldwell is fine man.
In every sense Of the word, and Ii very
popular IN the west"
Little known as Judge Caldwell Is in
the east, Inquiries yesterday developed
the fact that In the west he has made
a very considerable name for himself.
He IL an Interesting character. He
lived in Iowa when the war broke out,
and Joined q cavalry regiment In Iowa,
eventually reaching Arkansas. There
was SIN mud on his boots. when. at the
close Of the war he was appointed by
President Lincoln q Judge OF the Eighth
judicial circuit Since that time he has
been on thu bench, and as the circuit In
cludes Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, the
Two Dallotas. Colorado and the states
and territories as far west as the
Rocky Mountains he has Travelled over
q wide range Of country. He Is a man
Of slxty-tWo or slxty-four years OF age,
OF fine presence. smooth-shaven face
and commanding features.
Judge Caldwell Is especially popular
with the laboring element In the west.
because Of the decision he rendered IN
the suit Of the Union Pacific railroad
employees to prevent the reduction OF
their wages, In violation OF an agree
ment. Since that time he has been
noted for the advanced position he has
taken in matters concerning the relation
Of capital and labor. and 1t is seid that
the organised labor Of the west regard
him as their friend in every sense of
the word. He supported Bryan with
considerable vigor in 1886, and Is now
regarded as q ftlll-hedged Democrat
