Old Timers.

Fred Carlisle, of Brookings, was a
guest at the home of his brother, M.
G., the day our ball teams light went
out. Writer had a brief chat with
Fred, the first for a good many years.
He recalled the first game of ball
writer saw after landing in Dakota
territory. 1t was between De Smet
and Brookings teams, in 1882, at
Brookings, and hot one from start
till train time. The ball tossers were
politicians in those days. and De
Smet's boys had to get home that day
in time to attend a convention.
There are some left in the state who
will remember that day, among them
Secretary Of State Roddle, Banker
Fishback, B. F. Roddle, Charley Ash,
J. V. Walker, and we don't know how
many more Brookings men. Fred
Carlisle played with De Smet, besides
such old timers as c. l.. Dawley and
Frank Jolley, Jake Hopp, Marsh Tod
hunter, Billy Skinner. Walt Kermott,
and others of the old-timers are dwell
lers in other lands. Ball tossers didn't
wear as much harness in those days as
they do now, but they looked fully as
graceful and played just as good bali.

Monday morning, while hauling sew
eral barrels of water, Harvey Stevens
met with another serious accident.
As he started up the incline to the
alley at the rear of A. L. Binford's
residence on Allison street, the reach
pin broke. letting the wagon down in
the middle, spilling the load and in
some manner catching Harvey in the
mix-up so that he smashed the toes of
one of his feet. 1t was painful acci-
dent and he has since been laid up for
repairs.

"You shall have the most magnificent

or two? It's 80 deucedly dark in here

Mortimer obeyed and threw the light
in a complete circle around us, but dis
closed nothing save the stems of the
palms. Their spreading tops formed q
perfect canopy. A sea breeze had be-
gun to blow. and the leaves rustled
sadly. We heard a whistle on the Wal
kiki road. Quick as a fash Mortimer
turned out the light, and we sat on the
log, our pulses humping. We heard
another whistle farther up the Waiki-
ki road, and Mortimer ejaculated:
''The spies again! We have been
watched and followedv'
A third time we heard the whistle,
but farther up than ever.

"Do you think that we're really fol-

the whistle again.
'Ive no doubt Of it." said Mortimer.
''Then." said Conway, 'ff it comes to
the worst, you must die like men and !

Roman found life no longer worth liv-

"I'ye revolver at the hotel, but there
was no pocket for it in this confound-

'At least we ought to make some eff
fort" said Mortimer. Let's creep to
the edge of the grove and play the spy
ourselves. Perhaps we can escape even
yet. We'd better hold to each others
hands. so we won't lose anybody in the
darkness"
There was comfort in the suggestion,
and we adopted it. We thought it bet
ter to bear away from the Waikiki
road, where the spies seemed to be, or
at least the majority of them. We bent
our course toward The sea, stepping
very slowly. Suddenly l heard the
swish of something like a whip lash,
and Conway uttered cry. l thought
we were lost. but Conway said be-
tween British oaths:
at was the bough of a bush that
slapped me in the face. I'm sure it left
a prodigious welt, which won't help my
dignity when people see me tomorrow"
Never mind about that now," said

DR.. Miller, they went out and reduced
the fracture. At last accounts the

ed throughout last night and again this
morning one of the most remarkable
struggles that has ever racked this he
roic party.
On the one hand the influence of Bry-
an and the devotion felt toward him and
the cause of silver with which his name
is inseparably linked. On the other hand
were many Of the patriots of the party
mon like Daniels Of Virginia, insisting
that the very life of the organization was
endangered by changing It's old issues
based on new and vital events
Out of this fierce strife, the adherents
Of Bryan, advanced Scared but victor
ious They have written the platform in
their own way, with 16 TO l. But it was
a victory by scratch for a single vote
would have turned the scale. And it has
not been a victory without concession,
for in the final draft silver is no longer
paramount, it is far down in the platform
while in the very forepart is the declara-
tion that imperialism is the paramount is
sue of this campaign.
There remains only the choice of a can
dldate for vice-president and the work Of
the convention is over. There is every
evidence that this choice will be quickly
made tomorrow morning, although there
is still doubt as to who the nominee will
be.

AFRAID TO BOOM.
Mangum Soon to Have the Rock Isianc
Railroad

Mangum Soon TO Have the Rock Island
Railroad.
The Greer County Monitor editor is
scared. He anticipates that Mangum
will "boom" when the Rock Island
enters it's corporate limits. He hawks
the tocsin Of alarm editorily as fol-
lows
That Mangum will get the Rock
Island is generally conceded. SO much
SO that prices on real estate have ac-
tually doubled and trebled in the last
ten days. Lots in some instance are
held at prices which would buy first
class property in Oklahoma City or
Guthrie.
This trend of affairs is to be deplor-
ed by the conservative business men
of the town who labored so earnestly
and diligently to secure the road. De
plored because close in the wake of
those fabulous prices and inflated
values follow financial collapse and
business stagnation, conditions which
are the ruin of some md the perma-
nent iniu'y of every legitimate busi-
ness enterprise in the town.
There is no reason why, with the
road, Mangum should not be one of
the leading towns Of the southwest,
il property is held at such prices as
will induce substantial business men
from abroad to put money into it as a
permanent investment.
No one would be mare pleased aside
from a pecuuiary interest, to see Man
gum become city than would the
writer, but the country from which
she must draw her support is yet in
it's swaddling clothes, and mush-
room growth beyond that which her
surroundings warrant is. above all
things, to be avoided.

matte emphasis that the candidate would
have the support of his party--a united
party-there was tremndous applause at
the suggestion Of democratic unity. Aside
from the brilliant eulogy Of Bryan, the
speech Of the New York leader was chief
ly significant and attractive in its strong
plea for unity. "It is a time for unity
not for division" he exclaimed. to the
rapturous approval Of the great multitude
facing him. "The eloqeunt Daniels Of Vir-
ginia added his glowing tribute to tn
candidate, while former Governor Patti
son, of Pennsylvania, spoke for his state
and for the East; Governor McMillin Of
Tennessee, voiced the wishes of a state
which had furnished three presidents;"
Hawaii, through its nativ delegate, John
II. Wises, made its first seconding speech
in a democratic national convention, and
finally a sweet-voiced, and pleasant-faced
woman alternate from Utah seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan in behalf Of the
state of Utah.
Then came the voting. State arter state
recorded it's vote for the Nebraskan. The
convention managers had already agreed
that this was sufficient work for the day
and the vice-presidential nomination was
allowed to go over until tomorrow
Next to the demonstration for the party
candidate. that greeting the announce
ment that imperialism was to be the
paramount issue of this campaign was
the most spontaneous and significant of
the day.
Senator Tillman read the platform. and
with measured force brought out the fact
that Imperialism was now given the first
and supreme place among the issues of
the party. That the delegates were in
complete sympathy with this expression
was shown by the terrific and long sus-
talned applause lasting over twenty-five
minutes and exceeding the ovations usu-
ally accorded the favorites of the party.
Following this the announcement that the
16 to idea was retained the platform re-
ceived only faint and illy-sustained rec
ognition, the applause being limited to a
few minutes It was regarded as a sig
nificant showing on the sentiment of the
delegates, quite as convincing as the
terms Of the platform they had put for
ward.
Another stirring event of the day was
the appearance Of Webster Davis, former
ly assistant secretary of the interior un-
der President McKinleys administration,
in a speech severely arraigning the re-
publican party for it's lack of sympathy
for the Beers and formally announcing
his allegiance to the democratic party.
But the great battle of the convention
has not been fought under the eyes of
cheering thousands, but in the privacy
of the closely guarded quarters Of the
committee on platform There was wag-
