"The story IN the Sunday Nees-

calls my mind TO a scheme once played
ON a friend OF mine out Vest said a
local mining mar yesterday. "He was
negotiating for a gold property and
feared some trick. When be came to
make the examination, however, the
owner was very frank and open Ia
every way. Everything was IN good
shape 10 facilitate the examination
and great pains were taken TO giye full
information. After the mine had
been well gone over the owner said;
Now, 1 want to satisfy you that
this mine is all right. You are not
only at liberty, but are requested TODD
all the blasting you wish on the ore
body 50 rs 20 show that everything IS
as 1t should be-
"My friend put in a fairly liberal
number Of shots and took out several
feet Of rock that never had been expos
ed u air Or eye since nature made It.
The assays were very satisfactory and
5000 was cheerfully paid over. That
cash was wasted, for work that follow
ed showed the property vas worthless
and that the purchaser had been woe
fally swindled.
'How was the mine saltedY The
swlndlers put the gold dust into the
dynamite beforehand and every blast
peppercd good values into the rock.
The more shots put IN, the more the
mine was saltcd."

R~EPUDIATEs THIRD PARTY.
Eebraskan Declares Nations Best
Hope Lies With Democrats.

LINCOLN, NEB., Oct. 3.-Mr. Bryan
strongly d~isapprOyes Of the third
party movement recently begun at
Kansas City. He believes that the
nations best hope to-day lies in the
Democratic party. He says: THE
platform ignores a number OF ques-
lions which are Of immediate and vital
importance and enlarges upon some
which have not been discussed or con-
sidered by a majority Of the people.
at is the duty Of a political party
to meet conditions and to put into
practical form the issues upon which
the people are ready to act.
"The reforms demanded in some of
the planks are substantially recog-
nized in the Kansas City platform.
The Populist party goes still further
and indorses some other planks. What
necessity is there for a new party?
ut takes time to bring about a
great reform, and remedial legislation
Is often delayed by divisions among
the reform forces. The time Is ripe
to secure the election Of Senators by
direct vote Of the people, and yet Just
as this reform comes within reach, a
movement Is started, which, II 1t has
any influence at all, win delay, II not
defeat, this effort 10 bring the govern
ment nearer TO the people. Reforms
are secured through representatives,
and representatives must be elected
before they a act officially. A unit
cd and compact minority may, as IL
often has, defeat a divided majority.
ENDORSES KANSAS CITY PLATFORM
THE Kansas City platform placed a
large body Of men and a national
organization behind a number Of i'm
portant reforms. While the party
stands true 10 its position ii affords
the best hope that the masses have Of
obtaining relief, and the new parties,
however well intended, viii retard
rather than accelerate progress. The
third party, in 50 far as IL draws from
the Democratic party, will encourage
reorganizers by ~lessening the number
Of reformers in the party. The re-
organizers, on the other hand, are en-
couraging the third party movement
by boasting Of their purpose TO Re-
publicanize the Democracy. The
Democrats who believe in Democratic
principles, standing between these
two extremes, must make the Demo-
cratic party effective in applying
Democratic principles to conditions as
they arise

N LOSERS.

When men achieve success they try
To let the world become aware;
The winner holds his head up high
And passes with a splendid air.
When people fail they do not shout
Their failure to the world, but strive,
While keeping men from finding out
To still, somehow keep hope alive
Men win, and proudly tell it, while
The ones who fails still bravely
smile,
And God be thanked that this is 50,
Else as YOU hurried through the
street
For each proud man that you should
meet
A thousand would be pale with woe.
