New York Populist Meeting.

of Georgia, presidential candidate,
and of Thomas II. Tibbles, of Me-
braska, vice-presidential candidate,
OF the peoples party, are in jubi-
liant mood today over the hearty ova-
ton accorded the two standard bear
ers of their party at the notification
meeting at Cooper Union last night.
The entrance of the candidates was
the signal for cheering and waving OF
banners, which lasted for several min
utes.
The big hall, crowded to It's doors,
presented q most animated appearance
as it audience, among whom were
many women, arose AMI, with thous.
ands of Fl lgs waving, cheered and then
broke into the national anthem.
At every mention OF Mr.. Watson's
name by Judge Samuel w. Williams,
who made the notification speech, the
applause aud cheering were renewed.
In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Watson held the audience fairly en-
thralled to finish. Mirth, pathos,
anger, scorn, ridicule and the keenest
shafts of sarcasm succeeded one an
other in rapid sue :ession. And at the
conclusion of the speech the immense
audience, as If by common impulse,
gave q gasp of admiration and then
shouted and hurrahed for fifteen min
utes.
One OF the most telling points of the
speech was 8 reference to the republi-
can party in these words:
"Every class legislation for every
trust feels at home at the freside OF
the republican party"
This elected laughter. But q refer
ence to Grover Cleveland provoked
Kisses and groans, and when the
speaker asked, "And what is Cleve-
land doing now?" q stentorian voice
in the audience shouted:
"Driving good democrats out of the
party"
In another part of his speech, after
drawing q glowing picture of the CON-
radeship between the Bryanites and
pOpulists during the past two cam
paiRns, Mr.. Watson asked, with pas.
sionate vehemence:
"Where are you now going, Bryan
democrats?"
"With you'll" came q thunderous re-
ply from various parts of the house.
In the beginning of his speech Mr..
Watson referred to tie late Henry
George. The name brought most OF
the audience to their feet, and three
hearty cheers were given. Mr.. Wat
son next referred to William Randolph
Hearst, and again the audience rose
to it's feet cheering.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Watson's
speech Mr.. Jay w. Forrest, of the AL
bany County Democracy, made the
speech notifying the Hon. Thomas II.
Tibbles, of Nebraska, of his nomtna-
ton for the presidency on the
same ticket with Mr.. Watson. He
won the audience at the start with q
reference to William J. Bryan, and
declared that the man who followed
the leadership OF Bryan and fought
with him In his two campaigns could
never support ticket begot by eau
gust Belmont, the subway crook, and
crooked Dave Hill, of Albany" -New

WANT SECOND DIVORCE.
The Thorntons Have Troubles OF Their
Own and ask fer Decree.

Luke Thornton and wife, former
residents OF Corvallis where they
are remembered by mans, have
again sought the divorce courts for
a settlement of their domestic dif-
fculties, according to the statement
of the Oregon Journals cores
pondent at Oregon City. Tie
writr tells the story thus:
In the answer of Luke Thorn
ton that was fled in the circuit
court docket on Saturday in the
ca of I hornton against ? thornton,
litigants for divorce, it is alleged
by the defendant that Mrs. Mar
garet Thornton has resolved to
"rule or ruin" in her endeavor to
have her way about things. The
answer to the plaintiffs complaint
covers II pages, and in it every
sort of known allegation is denied
that could by any possible means be
found in the divorce complaint.
"Both parties to the suit are
well known Oregon City people.
and when there was peace between
them they operated the New Eng
land Home boarding house. Mrs.
Thornton still operates it. They
were married in Ray county, Mis-
souri,, in 1872. Several children were
born to them as an issue of this
marriage. TIL y moved to Oregon
City and commenced the lodging
house business, and as things did
not go happily divorce was Sc
cured. It is often said that first
loves are strongest, and this case
was no exception, and little more
than year after their separation
Mr.. and Mrs. Thornton were re-
welded.
''But they fell out again, and
according to the woman's story, it
was because she was accused by
her husband of being intimate with
other men and threatened with the
penitentiary unless she deedsd her
property over to him. Mrs.
Thornton alleges that her husband
failed in the support of herself and
family and that when they were
married the second time it was her
efforts that kept the entire family
alive,
Thornton asks for the custody
of the children and for the property
that ha claims to be his and which
Mrs. Edna F. Forbes is trustee of
He also asks the court for an or
der preventing the disposition of
the disposition Of the property be-
fore the trial. The property is 1c-
Gated in Greg II City and in Sell
wood, to the amount of So 400 and
improvements amounting to 81 100
more"

This is no dream. though the
parties corcerned may have been
dreami' g. They started from Hal
ssy at 10 p. m. intend 'ng to drive
to Corvallis. They took the left
hand road at each turning point,
and at two o'clock that morning
they entered little burg that they
thought was Tangent. 1t proved
to be Halsey, however, the place
from which they had started four
hours before. It was about seven
O. o'clock the nextmorning when they
reached Corvallis, and swofe all
their friends to silence regarding
the adventure,-a silence long since
broken. Moral Secrets shared

EVOLUTION Of the whistle.

Here is the story of the evolution
of the locomotive steam whistle.
II was invented because of the
destruction of a load of eggs.
When the country roads were fer
the most part crossed at grade the
engine-driyer had no way of giving
warning of his approach except bv
blowing tin horn. The horn as
far from being sufficient warming.
One day in the year 1928 farmer
was crossing the railroad track on
one of the country roads with a
great load of eggs and butter
just as he came out upon the track
train approached. The engine
man blew his horn Justify, but the
farmer did not hear it. Eighty
dozens of eggs and fifty pounds of
butter We're smashed into an in.
distinguishable macs. The railway
company had to pay the farmer the
value OF his butter, eggs, horse and
wagon. Adirector of the company.
Ashlaud Baxter by name, went to
Alton Grange, where George
Stephenson lived, to see if he.
could not invent something that
would give warning more likely
to be heard S'epheson went to
work, and the next day had con-
trivance. which. when attached to
the engine boiler, and the steam
turned on, gave ont a shrill, dis
oordant sound. The railroad
directors, greatly delighted, order.
ed similar contrivances attached to
all the locomotives. This has de.
veloped into the locomotive whistle
as We know it.

Good Reads in Georgia ,


In improving it's highways the
State of Georgia now leads the rest
of the South Nearly 1000 miles
of graded roads have been built in
the State within the last ten years
and under law passed in 1891,
the various counties now raise
100000 annually for road making
and mending.
The State law permits the EN-.
ployment of chain sgrngs. of mis-
demesnor convict on road making,
as relief from hired free labor.
The conyicts are quartered in
movable camps and during the
winter in ooRnty barracks which
have all the convenienoes of a we'll
