GEO. W. NICHOLS,
Unanimously Chosen to Lead the
Reform Forces,
In the Municipal Campaign Now On
The Ticket to be Completed
Friday Night.

Pursuant to notice published in the
Herald the advance guard of the Re-
form Party met Tuesday night in
the lodge room over the Maury
National Bank for conference or
ganization and work. Mr.. o. p.
Rutledge was called to the chair,
and Mr.. 7. N. Figures, Jr., was
elected secretary. 1t was moved to
make the temporary organization per
manent. but Mr.. Rutledge said that
he would change his residence soon, so
on motion DR.. O. j. Porter was made
permanent chairman, and Mr.. Figuers
permanent secretary.
The meeting resolved itself into a
committee of the whole and gen
eral conference was held as TO the best
way to proceed. 1t was suggested that
a committee on platform be appointed,
but after some discussion W. S. Elem
ing, Esq, suggested that the platform
consist Of these four words; Law,
Order and Economy" and on motion
that was adopted.
The discussion then was as to candi-
dates-how and when to choose them.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
very much depended upon the head of
the ticket. There had been a move
ment on foot for day or two to induce
Mr.. Geo. W. Nichols to run, but he
had announced positively that he would
not. Several other names thought to
be available, were mentioned. Finally,
without any nominations being made.
a ballot was taken and every man re
quested to vote his choice. In the face
of Mr. Nichols positive declaration
that he would not run, he led the van
in this test vote. Then some who had
voted for other men began to urge him
to accept. But he still said no. Then
a vote was taken by reclamation,
whether or not he should be nomi-
mated, and they all said yes, except
himself, and he said no. Following
this some of his friends talked to him
! privately and some made public
speeches at him, and finally on motion
to nominate him without his consent, a
rising vote was taken and every man
in the house except Nichols stood up.
Then when the others were seated he
stood up, and like man said that he
would not shirk duty that some one
must perform and that so many seemed
to think should be borne by him; and
now that he had been nominated
against his will and without his con
sent, he not only expected but demand
ed that the party go to work and elect
him.
His remarks, though few, were force
full, strong and pertinent, and were
loudly applauded
After that the Chair was instructed
to appoint committee, consisting o.
two from each ward, to suggest to I
meeting to be held Friday night the
names of suitable men for aldermen
for the several wards, who would con
sent to the use of their names; an(
from these names nominations will be
made at the mass-meeting tonight
in the same hall.
The meeting then adjourned, feeling
mighty good over the progress the!
had made.

Death.

The fat of nature is memorable.
There is no appeal fol- relief from the
law that doOms us to dust. We flourish
and fade as the leaves of the flower that
withers in day. Generations of men
will disappear as the grass, and the
multitude that thrOngs the world will
vanish as the foot steps on the sand.
Men seldom think of the event of death,
and it casts its shadows across their own
pathway, hiding from their view the
faces and forms of loved ones that we're
the sunlight Of their existence. Death
is the antagonist of life, and the cold
thought of the tomb is the skeleton of
all fears. We do not like to go through
the dark valley, although the dark val
ley may lead to Heaven. We do not
like to lie down in damp graves with
even princes as bedfellows. 1t cannot
be that earth is mans only abiding
place. 1t cannot be that our life is
only bubble, cast upon the ocean OF
eternity, to float for moment on It's
waves and then sink into nothing; else
why is that these glorious aspirations
that leap like angles forms in the tenn
piles of our hearts, are forever wander
ing around unsatisfied. In the beauti-
full drama of Ion, when the young Greek
is about 20 offer his life, Clemanthe asks
him, Shall we meet again?'' And he
replies, Il have asked that question of
the hills that look eternal, and of the
stars among whose azure fields my
raised spirit has walked in glory. All
were dumb but when l gaze on thy
living face feel there's something in
the love that mantles its beauty that
cannot wholly perish. Yes, we shall
meet again. Geo. D. Prentice

before the hunters were ready to take
the next step. In the side of the bank
was found hole where solitary old
beaver, scorning to live in house with
the majority of the families Of his
tribe, had built himself bachelor quar-

where the water line had been, and
the cavity ran upward and backward
into the bank for an unknown dis
lance.

ment was placed over the entrance to
the hole, and two men were charged
to hold it in place. The rest OF the
party went back number of feet and

American Horses In Germany.

Germany is one of the countries in
which American horses have obtained
footing, and the effect upon horse
growing there is described in the Ham
burger Nachrichten as follows:
Importations from America have
caused the horse raisers of Holstein
to suffer much Of late. A stock COM
pany has just been formed in Berlin
for the express purpose OF Importing
horses from the United States. The
Americans have succeeded in breeding
horse which compares favorably in
every way with the Holstein animal,
especially in those points SO highly
priced in work horse-namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Thuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late. owing to American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped drove of eighty through
Hamburg en- route for Milan, Italy,
where they are to be used on the tram
ways. Almost every week a long
freight train filled with American
horses leaves the Berliner bahnhof for
various parts of Germany In spite Of
expensive freight and tariff of 81
per head, the Americans have built up
a respectable competition in the Ger
man market.
Reports from American consuls, both
in Germany and elsewhere in Europe,
Indicate that the conditions described
in the foregoing extract are becoming
the prevailing ones in many other for
eign markets, as we'll as those of Ger
many.

proper time threw it. The moose set
tied down over the goats neck and
Slim" gave yell of triumph. AS
for the goat, it looked up at its captor
for moment with look of injured
surprise on its solemn face. Then it
gave leap down into an apparently
bottomless abyss, taking the rope with
1t and leaving Slim" clinging with
hands and feet to the slippery edge Of
the ravine. Somewhere out In the
Rockies there is supposed to be still
a big mountain goat with 60 feet of
good rope trailing from its neck.
Catching deer and antelope is easier
work. They are always caught when
young, and the problem is simply to
find them. A man who has never seen
how close young fawn will lie to the
ground and how hard it Is to tell it
from the gray and brown rocks and
sage brush which surround 1t would
never believe the tales the old plains
men tell. A tenderfoot, they declare,
might step on young antelope before
he would see it. and the oldest guides
and hunters use dogs to help them To-
cate their game. 1t is the same in
stinct which leads the young of all
