committee, have been on an eastern
tour. Although they decline to out
line their itinerary, it is stated on
good authority that they visited at
Buffalo Norman f. Mack, member of
the national democratic committee,
and later with Richard Olney at
Boston and David b. Hill at Albany.
1T is expected that ex-senator Hill
will be urged to open the democratic
state campaign in Illinois either at
Springfield or Peoria. Mayor Tom
johnson of Cleveland also will be eX-
tended a personal invitation to speak
at the opening of the fall campaign.
Democratic politicians figure that
should events so shape themselves
that Mr.. Hill should be reelected gov
ernor of New York and Tom l.. John
son be elected governor of Ohio these
men would be in democratic national
politics two years hence. 1t is de-
MED, however, by the friends of Chair
man Hopkins, that there is any inten-
ton of booming for presidential hon
ors any particular orator at the op-
ening of the fall fight in this state.
Chairman Hopkins also may extend
a personal invitation to Ex-Governor
Pattison of Pennsylvania to join the
Illinois love-feast. Mr.. Pattison is
the democratic nominee for governor
in his state this year, and apart from
the fact that there is every prospect of
his reelection, he is regarded as
strong man and has the prestige OF
having already been twice elected gov
ernor of Pennsylvania as a democrat.
1t is probable that Hill, Pattison
and Johnson can be induced to make
a trip west, in which event their ut
terances at the Illinois opening would
be given national prominence.

OLD TIMES IN TENNESSEE.
When Pelts Were az Plentiful m
Pennies In the Suite.

when Pelts Were az Plentiful IN
Pennies In the stnte.
Probably few people know that the
original name of the state of Tennes-
see was Franklin or that in 1TSS the
salaries of the officers of this common
wealth were paid IN pelts, but the fol-
lowing is correct copy of the law:
"Be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of the state OF Franklin, and it is
hereby enacted by authority of the
same, that from and after the LIST day
of January, 1888, the salaries of this
commonwealth be as follows-to wit:
"IIis excellency the governor, per an
mum, 100 deerskins.
"His honor the chief justice, 500
deerskins.
1.-THE secretary to his excellency the
governor, 500 raccoon skins.
County clerk, 800 beaver skins.
CLERK of the house Of commons, 200
raccOon SklnS-
Justices fee for serving n warrant.
one minkskin." 4.
At that time the state of Franklin
extended to the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi river, and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
of Louisiana. 1t was then terra in
cognita," save a few canoe landings
and Indian trading posts on the river
banks. 1t was known as the district
of Louisiana and in 1905 was made
the territory of Louisiana.
The state OF Franklin, (which be-
came Tennessee in 1796, was almost
as little known. The now great city
of Memphis was a mere trading post
and was not laid out as a village until
1920.
Pelts were as plentiful in those days
as pennies and much better distributed
for purposes of currency and barter.
The pioneers were perhaps as happy
and as well contented as is the average
citizen now.-Arkansas Gazette.

Kick Kills an Old Character
Lay in AGONY Alone for HOurs

Johnny Ward, one-of the oldest and

died in st. Mary's hospital late yeste. =
day afternoon. The deceased was so
years of age. He was manager of the
first gas house ever operated in the old
pueblo, and was Familiarity known as
Gas House John" He was a widower
and leaves no children.
The circumstances surrounding his
sudden death are peculiar, and, to say
the least, heartrnding. He had been
living alone on his ranch, which is 10
Gated about five miles north Of town.
Some time during Monday he went
out to his barn to look after his horses.
TAs he approached the stalls he gave one
horse slap on the back. The animal
was tsFen unawares and, becoming
frightened, kicked out with both heels.
Mr.. Ward was unable to avoid the sud-
den kick, and received one hoof full in
the pit of the stomach. The blow
felled him and he was unable to move
for hours, suffering intense pain all
the while. He finally managed, by a
superhuman effort, to drag himself to
the house. Here he lay for twenty
four hours without food or water and
in helpless condition.
Two of his friends strolled out to the
ranch yesterday to see him. and thus
he was found on the floor of his cabin,
in intense agony. A carryall soon
brought DR.. Purcell to the scene, and
the dying man was taken to the hos
pital He fingered along until the
afternoon, when death came as a relief
to his suffering.
