When the b. IL o. passenger train to
which the Pullman car .'Monroeville" is
ATTACHED comes putting and painting into
the city of Philadelphia, this morning, it
is expected that everything in the City of
Brotherly Love will stop going. 1t will
be IN important event in the history of
the Quaker town.
The special sleeper carries to the con-
vention city thes Vice Presidential boom
of Senator Sterhen B. Elkins. 1t was
hitched in a Iittn political incubator over
in Washington. and godfather Nathan
Bay Scott imme diately rushed to a tel
egraph office and wired Col. Morris
Horkheimer of Y-he fact. Boom Elkins
for Vice Presideat. Come shouting" the
telegram read. Then the little boomlet
was sent here and placed in the nursery
"Monroeville,'' where it received ender
care and attention last night. 1t may be
big enough and. noisy enough to attract
notice in Philad dphia, and then again it
may take the collie. There were plenty
of willing bottle holders in the nursery,
for it is not half a bad idea to be on the
soft side of steve who handled a gem
erous portion OF the Federal pap.
The crowd THAI assembled at the sta
ton to witness the departure was very
much interested in what transpired. Col.
Horkheimer acEed promptly upon the
hint from Senator Scott. Beautiful Elkins
badges were pinned on all the members
of the party, ami gay streamers inscribed
Mckinley and fElkins," were attached to
the sides of the car. 1t would be a burn
ing shame if the circus campaign at
tracted no notice in Philadelphia.
The Elkins 'aooters'' VIII have a suf-
ficient amount of throat wash to help
their ''hollerin' apparatus in active SER
vice. In all sections of the car were
stored away be tiles with ''Schmulbach''
and "Reymann~ labels, and different
shaped bottles labelled Fort Henry and
Hunter" To the uninitiated this is
enigmatical, but those who are next
understand that the crowd won't be dry
en- route. Theretwas a lovely placard in
one end of thef car, inscribed: If you
want anything ask John Schellhase for
it. He is the commissary."
The train had not left Benwood juno
ton until the secretary of the Water
Board was one of the most sought after
individuals in the State of West Vir-
GINA.
The rank and file walked down to the
train, but Capt. Blackburn b. Dovener,
faultlessly groo ned, stepped out of a car
riage and exter ded the glad mitt to the
boys, many of whom whooped 'er UP for
him at Weston last week.
Feel here, and see if I've got any flask
on me-" he said, to the Register man, as
he elevated the tail of his Prince Albert.

animation, and is happy to inform the
Captains constituents that he found
nothing.
VIM. Mccormack was one of the faith
full who called TO bid adieu to the party.
Pin a badgel on him, Colonel suggest
ed somebody to Col. Horkheimer.
mot by a darn sight" was the reply.
From WHICH it is inferred that the ex-
jailor is not hand in glove with the pow
ers that be in, Ohio county politics. Nc
Cormick somehow has developed the fac
ulty of doing his own thinking, and act
ing accordingly. which is a heinous crime
in the eyes of the bosses.
Just before the train pulled out a col
ored porter handle Harry Mcclure two
boxes of red, white and blue ivory circu-
lar checks. Yes, gentle reader, they
are the same articles tina are sometimes
used in the festive game of draw poker.
But they were not intended to be used
for that purpose in the nursery of the
Elkins boomlet. Oh, dear, no! They
were selected because of the patriotic
color combination, to be used in keeping
tab on the vote for Elkins for the Vice
Presidential nomination. Every time a
State delegation votes for Elkins. checks
will be dropped into a hat. The blues
will count ten, the reds five and the
whites two. Happy thought, wasn't it?
The members of the party were as fol-
