The youngster came over from New

made it impossible for him to hunt IN

He said that the only true story pub

that OF his catching twenty-five pound

he caught that fish. It would be poor

New York Sept. 13.-It has Just leaked
out that Senator Clark Of Montana has
casually bought few rugs for $780, 900.
In art circles the purchase is looked upon
as one of the most remarkable events that
has taken place recently. ~.
The sale has been kept very quiet, be-
cause 1t fas made by a house which pre-
fers to be known only as selling famous
art collections at auction. There prob
ably are not more than q dozen rugs in the
collection, so that the purchase price
makes an average of about $21,00 each.
Some of these rugs are of such wonder
full weave and so beautiful that in Sena-
tor Clark's new palace-like home in this
city they will be put under glass and
framed like rare old masters. This was
done by the late Henry G. Marquand with
few similar rugs, which he owned. -,

Judge Kerr Stirs Things.

Judge w. A. Kerr said that the first
thing he thought of on entering the hall
was that two campaign lies had been
nailed. The great audience before him
showed that the people were interested in
the exercise Of their franchise under the
primary law, and that all wisdom and in
tellect were not centered in the Fletcher
headquarters.
The responsibility of the republican
party, said Judge Kerr, was greater than
at any time since the war; and the people
Of this district should take part in it.
They should not bow to superstition, and
because a man was has been,
make him an 'is-to-be." The repub-
licans had not only to nominate, but to
elect congressman. The nominee must
be able to meet Lind on the stump. do
you ask which is the better man for that,
Fletcher or Hay?" asked Judge Kerr.
'Have you seen them both on the plat
form?''
G. S. Cairns said that from the way
things had been coming the past week,
and from recent reports received from
every section of the district Mr.. Hay s
nomination seemed assured. It was only
necessary for Mr.. Hays friends to do
their duty for the next four days.
