THE BUFFALO LAND OFFICE.

The Buffalo Bulletin comes to the
defense Of Mr.. Smock. ex]-receiver Of
the land office at Buffalo, and alleges
that MIR. Smock has always been a
worker for the party and had repeat
eddy informed the members of the wy
oming delegation that they could have
his resignation at n time they
thought 1t would be for the best inter
ests OF the party to ask for it. Per
haps they think it for the best interests
OF the party to fail to appoint Mr..
Smock. but time will tell whether or
not their action was for the best"
There is an implied threat in the
above that comes with exceeding poor
grace from the editor of the Bulletin.
The Republican has heard from the
lips of northern Wyoming men some
thing OF the condition of affairs in the
Buffalo office during the past three or
four years. The register, Mr.. Gatchell,
as we are informed, was the man that
did all the work. and 30 far as the pub.
lie was concerned 1t was believed that
he was a competent, prompt official. 1t
appears there vas one branch of work
IL the once he neglected. the contest
business. and repeated demands from
the commissioner Of the general land
ONCE were UNDECIDED. Report of this
condition was made to the secretary of
the interior and Mr.. Gatchell was
promptly removed by the president. To
shield himself. Mr.. Smock threw the
entire responsibility upon the register,
although he was equally responsible.
The mail to land ofices from the gen
eral land office is addressed to the
register and receiver" Mr.. Smock
alleges that he did not see this mail
and hence ought not to be blamed. He
was entirely willing that his colleague
in once should do all the work, and
then when trouble arose he lacked the
stamina to stand squarely forth and
say, Il vas equally responsible with
Mr.. Gatchell. 1t is true I did not see
the letters from the general land Of
fee. but that is my fault, as l could
have seen them at any time had I tax.
en- the trouble to attend strictly to my
business. Having thrown the entire
burden Of the ofice upon my colleague,
I will at least bear my portion of the
responsibility"
There is not . chair far enough back
for Mr.. Smock or the editor Of the Bull
letin to occupy.

died round about and through the
darkness. over the sage brush and the
cactus. the cry sped on its way until
at last 1t fell into the ears Of one who
lay prone upon the sand-one who had
lain for hours, a pain within his heart,
his mind oblivious to all surroundings.
He raised his head and listened and
in his ayes the vacant stare gave place
to the light Of reason.
Again the voice came to him: God!
Save me; some one save mel"
He sprang to his feet and, with a
cry Of Nina! Nina!" he sped like a
coyote towards the red glare that
seemed reckoning to him through the
darkness.
With the woman's name still upon
his lips, he sprang into the midst Of
those huddled upon the sand and seiz-
ing an axe, leaped desperately into the
burning wreck.
Fercely rose and fell his axe; the
flames Tapped his feet and climbing up
and up. fed hungrily upon his gar
ments and his eyebrows and his hair.
But still he worked; still his axe rose
and fell; still the name Of Nina"
came from his parching lips.
And then, with his flesh blistering
in the fire; with his muscles quiverinE
from the red-hot kisses Of tn. flames,
he reached a wcman's hand and
dragged her from the reach Of the de-
~vouring element.
Tenderly he lifted her and laid her
on the sand, then he reeled and sank
upon the ground, a quivering mass Of
scorched humanity.
With the dawn a relief train came
and among those on board was a tall
young man who went eagerly from
cabin to cabin, where the injured lay,
searching for one he loved.
And the woman for whom he
searched vas sitting beside a rude
bunk, on which a man lay dying. The
man had hold Of her hand and was
drinking in the light of the woman's
eyes.
II am glad you were not badly in
jured, Nina" he whispered, then
pressed his lips tightly together to
Stlue b BUD Oh pain.
The woman smiled family and laid
her hand upon his pillow, pityingly.
II thought I-hated-you," he fall
tered, after a rause. But God-Nina!
I DON'T dont-I can't-I-love-"
"Hush," the woman said, firmly, but
kindly lowering her eyes before his
gaze. He watched her In silence, and
when she raised her face again to his,
he said, with a painful effort:
Il was to blame-Nina-I thought
thought you didn't care for me-. But
you did-didn't you-Nina?"
His eyes were fixed upon her with a
wild intensity. and she trembled.
Eyes, John, l did care for you," she
said, quite low. And the man smiled
and closed his eyes.
Then 1t was that the tall young man
came softly into the cabin and saw
the woman weeping beside the still,
white face Of the dead.
He spoke .he- name and a CLEAN Of
Joy came into his eyes. but she held
up a hand and he paused. wonderingfy.
For a moment she gazed sadly upon
the face Of the dead, then r~everently
she covered 1t with a sheet, and
walked softly out into the sunshine
where the tall young man WAS wait
ing for her.
Il thank God for sparing my wife to
me-" the tall young man said, happily,
as he stopped and kissed her.
And the woman sighed.

FIFTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS.
Many Candidates VIII Oppose BeasIey
for the Nomination

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. LIT is be-
coming evident that the Democrats in this
city, as well as in other parts Of the Fifth
congressional district, intend that the pro-
gramme of handing the congressional NOM
ination TO John 7. Beasley on a silver plat
ter shall not be carried out. About the
time that ne decided to accept the nomina-
ton the convention was called. and coin
cident with the call q newspaper friendly
to him announced that he was 10 be nomi-
mated and that he would make the race.
The other faction in his party in Terre
Haute did not relish the manner in which
he was put on a pedestal, as "the strongest
candidate in the district" Prosecuting At
to-ney Beal is now announced as a probable
candidate, and Democrats Of other coun-
ties, such as McNutt and Mitchell. Of Mar
tinsville. and Judge McGregor. Of Brazil,
are again under discussion with assurance
by opponents of Beasley that any one OF
them would accept IL nominated.
The point Is made against Beasley that
he is not only a corporation lawyer. but
that he has been a poohbah for corporation
interests. The labor unions for this reason
are especially opposed TO him.

LEBANON, Ind, Aug. 14.-Judge L. J.
Kirkpatrick, of Kokomo, was nominated
to Congress this afternoon by the Demo-
Gratis of the Ninth district, and Elmer Cox,
of Elwood, was nominated for joint repre-
sentative of the "Shoestring' district, COM
posed of Madison, Hamilton. Boone and
Montgomery counties. Kirkpatrick's NOM
ination to Congress was by reclamation.
Only one ballot was necessary 10 nomi-
nate a candidate for joint representative,
Mr.. Cox, of Madison county. winning easily
over Eli Armentrout of Montgomery. 1t
was the intention to have held the con-
gressional convention first, but the commit
tee on resolutions got into a wrangle over
certain planks in the platform, and owing
to the delay thus occasioned it was decided
to proceed with the joint representative
convention first.
NJ. E. Foley, of Charlottesville, was per-
manent chairman of both conventions, and
James Fippen, of Upton, was secre-
tary. The proceedings were long drawn out
and uninteresting, with the single exception
of the wrangle over the platform in the
congressional convention. When the COM
mittee, which had held a protracted secret
session, adjourned, there was plenty of evil
dence that the harmony for which so many
earnest pleas have been made was absent.
Two reports were submitted by the COM
mittee to the convention. The majority re-
port was presented by Captain ID. +. Allen,
of Frankfort. The resolutions reaftirmed
the platform adopted by the state conven-
ton of 1902, and then said: Further. as
the representatives of the rank and file of
the Democracy of the Ninth congressional
district of Indiana, we refer with just pride
liam j. Bryan, in the two last presidential
campaigns, and believe that even In defeat
we have achieved a victory for the people
the declarations in our national platform
Of 1900" This paragraph was offered as a
compromise to those who were insisting on
form. 1t was pointed out, however, that
this compromise plank meant nothing and
would not be satisfactory to the free silver
Democrats. The minority report was pre-
sented TO the convention by Edgar l..
Names, of Boone county. The plank con-
corning the Kansas City platform reads as
follows: Resolved, That we indorse the
platform adopted by the Kansas City con-
vention of 1900 and of the Indiana Demo-
cratic state convention of 1902" The ques-
tion of the substitution of the minority re-
port for the majority report called forth
fiery speeches., but the majority report was
adopted.
The convention was brought 10 a close by
a speech by Frank Burke, of indianapolis.

HAD WORKED CAREFULLY.
Acherman's Plan to Blow Up Infrm-
airy Buildings Was Elaborate.
/ to the indianapolis Journal

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Ind, Aug. Alt has been
learned that still more careful plans were
laid by Charles Alderman, the inmate Of
the county %infrmary, who attempted to
dynamite the infirmary buildings and to
kill j. r. GRADER, the superintendent of the
institution, and the forty-four inmates,
than was at first supposed. Re had made
wire hooks and had placed them in the
basement along the water pipes to the
place where he intended to set the dyna-
mite. a hole in the floor of his room led
TO the basement. The bombs were made
by Alderman with plumbers tools which
he secured and used during the night. One
of the bombs has been opened and was
found to contain three pounds of dynamite,
a cap and fuse ready for the match. At
ter being constantly questioned by the Of
hcials. the following statement was OBJ
tanned from Alderman:
II found the dynamite in the garnet of
one of the old buildings and. thinking some
OF the other inmates, who are weak
minded, might do some harm with il, / hid
1t in my room. AS to the fuse. l made that
as an experiment. Even If the dynamite
had gone off there would lave been no
loss. I'm no good and GRADER isn't either.
The other inmates are also worthless"
The infirmary buildings are the finest Of
the kind in the State and were erected at
a cost of SA. 900.
