BRYAN is THE MAN.
Senator Allen Says He Alone Can
Save Fusion.

Lincoln, June 4-Ex- United States
Senator Allen is authority for the dec
laration that Mr. Bryan, in order to
save fusion in Nebraska, must accept
the nomination for governor at the
state convention, i'll Grand Island,
June "a Two years ago the demo
Gratis, for Mr.. Bryan's sake conceded
the gubernatorial nomination to the
populists.
This year they demand it as right,
but the populists refuse to concede it.
As matters now stand the two con
ventiops are almost certain to be dead
locked, the populists with Ex-Congress-
man Strutherland and the democrats
with former Attorney General Smyth
as candidates.
A conference of leaders of both part
les was held here, and the almost un-
ahimous opinion was that Mr.. Bryan
should run.
He has declined to consider the mat
ter, when broached heretofore, assert
ing that he has no aspirations along
that line, would not block the am
bition of any of those who had Loyalty
supported him in the past Only the
most strenuous demand and long con
tinued deadlock in convention is like
ly to affect his determination.
Mr.. Bryan is the only man, ;" says
Senator Allen, upon whom an agree
ment can be made. He owes it to
both parties to take the nomination.
If he doesn't, it ends fusion in Neb-
raska, and that means nationally.

SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Pueblo Greeks Quarrel Over a Wo-
man.

Pueblo, June 4-Three Greeks with
unpronounceable names, who can I
speak English, became involved in a
fight about l0:3O O'Clock last nigth on
Arroyo avenue, near Elm street, and
as IA result two Of the trio have sever
al bullet wounds in their bodies. 1t
is said that the fight started over a
woman and, had not the policemen
interfered, several deaths might have
resulted. The two wounded men were
taken to the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company's hospital, where their
wounds are not regarded as serious.
Six arrests were made by the police
but not one of the prisoners will say a
word about the shooting. All involved
in the battle are employees of the c.
f. & |. company.

Common has received message from

that only suitable reward can re-
compense.

FREE DELIVERY
FOR FLORENCE
Three Carriers to Go on by
October I.
Postoffice Inspectors Here Today
and Decide to Make the Re-
commendation-Appoint-
ments Made Soon.

Florence is to have free delivery.
This was announced today by Post
office Inspectors Fredericks and Small
who came down from Denver for the
express purpose of investigations
They will recommend this change to
the postofiice authorities who will act
favorably upon it. The new delivery
will be in operation by the first of
October and possibly sooner.
Several requirements are exacted of
town by the government before such
change can take effect The town
must be thoroughly lighted, houses
must be numbered and sidewalks must
be in good shape All these conditions
have been met and will be carried out
according to promises made the de
partment
Three carries will be utilized and
application for appointments will soon
be in order. The town is to be divid-
ed east and west, with one carrier for
outlying districts. The carrier having
the business section will be given a
shorter run than the others in order
to more completely cover his territory.
Some protests have been heard
against the new plan but it will un-
doubtedly meet the cooperation of
the majority of citizens who realize
the added Importance given town
with free delivery in the eyes Of other
communities. 1t is claimed by some
that those living some distance out of
| town do all their shopping with the
big department stores by mail, thus
working to the detriment of the town
merchants. With Florence it is differ
ent, the loyalty of her citizens and
comparatively few living far from
town would cause the merchants little
anxiety.
1t may be possible to install the
free delivery before October /, the
date set by Inspector Fredericks. The
new postoffice will probably be ready
in another six weeks and there should
be little difficulty in obtaining car
riers and making necessary arrange
ments. Either 300 or 100 boxes will
be placed in the new building for
rent.
Mr.. Fredericks in speaking of
kicks against the system said that
in 1897 he established free delivery
at Tempe, Arizona. Three months
later he returned for inspection, found
the men all up in arms and sober ms
judges The town is very scattered
and the farmers had been in the habit
of driving into town each day, ostensi-
| bly, for their mail but in reality to
have "a little something" with "the
man behind the bar. - All this had
| been stopped by the carriers bringing
out the mail and farmers found no ex-
cuse for visiting town

POULTRY POINTERS.

Game chickens have more meat in
proportion to their height than any
other breed Of fowls. -
When the chickens are growing fast,
it is a good plan to mix a little bone
meal in their soft feed.
Smearing whole wheat with kerosene
or turpentine and feeding it to the
chickens is good remedy for gapes.
Adding some carbolic acid and put
ting on hot will secure much better re-
suits from the embarrassing of the
poultry house.
While it is at no time advisable to
keep food Of any kind before the fowls
all the time, it will be an advantage to
keep milk where they can drink all
they want.
Fowls do not run together in large
numbers. They will always divide into
flocks of small size and will select diff
ferent feeding grounds, always pro-
vided they have the opportunity.
A growing chicken, like a growing
animal, requires plenty Of good, whole
some food supplied literally and often
in order to enable them to grow and
mature rapidly and to develop proper

The Folks Who Paid For the Dis
course Got What They Wanted.
Many Maine people who live in q
certain part Of Cumberland county will
well remember one Abner-so he was
always called in his town. Abner was
the wit of the village, and he was
commonly selected to take charge OF
funerals because he was about the
only man in town who had time hang
ing on his hands. A citizen died, a man
who never amounted to much, who
was never positively wicked, because
that would have required more of an
effort than he was willing to make.
He was, however, far enough from be-
ing a good citizen, and Abner knew it
as well as anybody else.
Abner was requested to ask certain
minister to conduct the service, and he
hitched up his old horse and drove to
his house. The minister said he would
attend and then tried to get little in
formation concerning the late lament
ed.
"What sort of a man was he?" he
asked.
"Well, about the same as no sort of
, man at ALL" replied Abner frankly.
81 suppose his loss will be deeply
felt in the community" said the min
lister.
'They're all bearing up we'll under
it." said Abner slowly.
"Was he a Christian?" asked the
minister.
eff he'd been accused Of it, the YER
dict would have been notiguilty and
the jury wouldn't have left their Seats"
replied Abner cheerfully.
did he attend church" asked the
minister a. bit anxiously.
81 never heard of his doing it," said
Abner.
How did he dieY' continued the
minister.
"Just the same as he lived, sort Of
naturally" said Abner.
81 don't see how Pm to preach much
of sermon under such circumstances"
said the minister.
'The neighbors all said they didn't
think they wanted much Of a sermon,
and so they sent me over to see you,"
said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath and
a five dollar bill, and after the funeral
the satisfied Abner said, 'Well, we got
Just what we wanted, b'gosh. "-Lew1s-
