ABsENr-MINDED CLERGYMAN
Forgot Having HIs Key and cllmbsd
to the street In He Can

Some years ago q minor canon OF
Norwich (the Rev. Ozias Lindley) met
with an amusing experience. On .
certain day he was to preach IN the
cathedral. He was aware 81 his own
infrmity Of Observation-Disclosures, apq
therefore gave the key Of his study n
the close to his landlady, with In
situations to lock him In and to let
him out juSt in time for service.
She did not wish to take respond
bility, and finally gave him back the
key, but he remained under the impreN
sion that she took It % 10 desired.
He read his sermon over until the
bells began to ring. Then he put on
his surplice and waited. OF COURSE,
NO landlady came to release him. He
grew uneasy as he saw the congregar
zion assemble, Then the great bell
began to toll for the assembly Of the
dean and chapter. Still no one came
to let him out.
At last, In despair, Mr.. Lindley
threw open a window, and by the help
OF water-butt and spout he climbed
in his full canonlcal robes, into the
street. Fortunately for his dignity, y
was so late that almost everyone was
in the cathedral and few saw him, but
the two or three privileged ones who
witnessed It enjoyed the performance
hugely. On his return home Mr.. Lind
ley mechanically put his hand In his
pocket for the key, found Il, and had
opened the door Of the room before
he realized that his difficulty had been

Omaha, Aug. 15.--Next Tuesday the

be held. The campaign for nomina'
lions on the Republican and Demo
cratic tickets has been very spirited
and the candidates numerous. The
temperance issue as involved in the
proposition to substitute county op'
ton for the present local option law
has split both parties, and the situa'
ton has been further complicated by

the personality Of William J. Bryan In
the Democratic party.
Full state and county tickets are to
be nominated as well as candidates
for members of congress, and, nnder
the Oregon plan" party candidates
for United States senator to succeed
Senator Elmer J. Burkett will be chos'
en-. Many candidates for places on
the senatorial and legislative tickets
of the different parties have pledged
themselves to abide by the decision
of the voters on this question at the
primaries
The question of county option was
brought before both state platform
conventions. Although opposed by
most of the leaders Of what is known
as the regular" faction Of the party.
It was adopted by large majority
of the Republican delegates, On the
other hand in spite Of the vigorous
support Of Mr.. Bryan, who made one
Of the strongest fights of his career,
the Democratic convention declared
against It.
