THAT REPUBLICAN SLATE.

THAT REPUBLICAN SLATE.
The preparation of n state for the
Republicans of this state to support
is accepted by the Republican press
with mixed feelings. 1t appears ,hat
two states have been prepared. the
first being known as the Swisher
slate. which was composed of C. w
Swisher for governor Mont Topping
secretary OF state; j. Sherman Darst
auditor; Newton Ogdin, treasurer:
w. G. Conley. attorney general. anc
y. NJ Sharkey. superintendent Of
schools. This slate was the child o.
Republican bossism in West Virgin
Ia, which the same leaders now dis
own, and have substituted the fol
lowing instead: Elliot Northcott.
for governor; Stuart r. Reed. sec
rotary OF state; James K. Hall al
ditor; NJ. c. Lough, superintendent
OF schools.
The latter slate was the result
of meeting Of politicians at Ell
kins last week.
The Parkersburg Dispatch News
is somewhat dsgruntled over the
slur made at Elkins. 1t had no pa
thence with the first slate and as
little with the present. 1t SAYS.
The head of the ticket now bears
the name Of Elliott Northcott. who
heretofore has gone in for positions
which required no sanction from his
fellow citizens in Cabeu. James K.
Hail has been substituted for Mr.
Darst; Stuart Reed has put Col
Mont Topping back in the ranks. anG
VI. c. Tough has taken the place a e.
superintendent Of schools, which Mr.
Shawkey occupied for couple Of

CONGRESSMEN WILL
RETURN IN MONTH

From news received here yesterday
on the Sherman it is expected that the
Congressional party, which stopped
over here about two months ago, will
be back in about thirty days. Whether
they will come on transport or will
take one of the regular liners is un-
certain as yet but the chances are
that they will come by one of the
Pacific Mail vessels. Congressman
Mckinney, Cocks and Reynolds, COM
pose the party. Congressman Higgins
who came to this city with the other
three, passed through here on the
Sherman homeward bound. Captain
Babcock of the Sherman stated yes
terday that he never met men who
were pleasanter to travel with than
the Congressional party, and that they
made friends out of everyone on board
the vessel.

The Cheyenne and Arapahoes are
holding their annual squaw dance at
this place. More than 5000 Indians
are ercamped at the city park. The
dance is a continuous n day and
night and will last for several days.
The bucks and squaws all take part
IN these festivities, and the little
ones can be seen Initiating their elders
by dancing around all the time the
tomtom is pounded. The garments
worn by some Of the tribe are things
of beauty, bedecked as they are with
feathers, beads and other ornaments.
Some have bells on their wrists and
ankles and the movements made by
them seem to be for the purpose OF
getting as much noise as possible out
of these things.-Watanga Herald.

Butchers Inference.

One day Emperor Francis Joseph
was entering a village in his domain
on horseback and was met on the out
skirts by a butcher who had gone out
in hope of catching an early glimpse
Of the Austrian kaiser. The emperor
asked the butcher the way to an inn,
and after directions had been given
the butcher in turn inquired: Have
you seer the kaiser?" Very recent
ly," answered Francis Joseph. Are
you sure? Do you know him certain
ly?" asked the eager butcher. We'll.

TEARS OF THE CROCODILE.
Belief Said to Have Origin In an
Ancient Fable.

The phrase crocodile tears" owes
Its origin to the imagination Of some
Of the old travellers, who invented the
fable that the crocodile weeps over its
prey. One of the earliest English
globe-trotters to mention this fiction
was Sir John Vaudeville, who in his
travels" G499), speaking Of "Aethi-
op," "Ynde" and an lyle clept Silla,"
says: THAT Lond is full of Serpents
and of Cokadrilles. THESE ~Cokadrilles
ben a manner of Long Serpents, "a
lowe and rayed aboven, and had 4
Feete and schorte Thyes, and CRETE
Nayles as Clees or Tallonns; and

Used Pillow on shipboard.

A common, everyday farm pillow was
used in unloading the cargo of the
Ammon at San Francisco. The entire
hold was filed with 1900 tons of inter,
which had frozen into n solid mass
and very hard. Explosives could not
be used, and picks and shovels were
too slow. AS a joke q bystander sug-
gested they better use a pillow. The
captain, however, decided to try the
plan. and bought a good-sized pillow,
and by means Of a block and tackle
and steam winch pulled 1t back and
forth the length of the hold. The
plow loosened the inter al fast as a
big gang could shovel it into the steel
buckets. This is probably the only in
stance on record where a ships cargo
was discharged in this way.-Popular
Mechanics.
