Two nuaIs.

At Edinburgh two Italians met at midnight to settle dispute. Having but one pistol, they drew lots to see which one should shoot first The win ner fired and missed and then politely handed over the pistol to his adversa- ry. The second shot likewise proving abortive, the bloodthirsty combatants fell upon each others necks, then quit the field arm in arm.
 First shot was decided by lot also in duel between M. de Girardin, father of the author, Emile de Girardin, and a stranger whose skill with the pistol was being Haunted in a gallery. ''Yes, he shoots well," remarked De Girardin indifferently, 'but it's quite another thing to hit man in duel" A chal- lenge was inevitable. The marksman fired first, his shot going wide. Why don't you shoot?' asked the second of De Girardin, as the latter calmly walk ed away. "There is no reason why should kill this gentleman" was De Girardin's reply. "He must now be convinced was right"

 OVATION OF LINCOLN PEOPLE

Lincoln, Neb., July 5-William J. Bryan's home coming from Baltimo1 e today was more than a greeting-lt was an ovation. Welcomed at the railway station by band, and a thou sand neighbors, the commoner was escorted in an automobile to the bus mess district where he spoke to an audience that filled the street from curb to curb. For a half hour or more the distinguished Nebraskan dis cussed the Baltimore convention, pre- dieting the triumphant election of Governor Wilson in November and praising the party for it's platform and firm stand for progressive Demo- cratic principles.
 Bryan said: @T transferred my vote to MT Wilson because I became con- vinced that MT. Clark could not lead a winning fight on behalf of progress siVe principles. MT. Clark's manag- CTS chose ito allay themselves against progressive sentiment in the selection of a temporary chairman"

London, March 27.-The British
owners. after a prolonged meeting
afternoon, resolved to accept the
mum wage bill.
This means that all the mines VIII ~e
opened to the men as soon as they de-
sire to return to work.
The governments minimum wage
bill, the object OF which Is to put q
stop to the coal miners strike will be
the law OF the land within twenty-four
hours. Thus far. however the end OF
the strike and Of the distress and suf-
fering it IL causing to 100000 miners
and 100000 other workers and their
families and DEFENDANTS thruout the
country, Is not In sight.
The cabinet hopes the miners will
seize the excuse afforded by the enact
ment Of the minimum wage bill for re-
turning to work. Even II this hope
should be realized 1t will be necessary
to take measures to relieve the great
distress and 1t is understood the gov
ernment already has decided upon an
effective method OF carrying this out.
sumo work, also must be provided for
and 1t Is thought this would necessitate
the calling out Of the army reserves.
At a full meeting Of the miners fed
Grafton today it was decided to take
an immediate ballot among the men as
to whether they desire to accept the
governments wage bill and return to
work

| ARoad Roller ca'r.,s Split.
f "Road roller" methods as they were
described by Chairman Lee, of the
Roosevelt forces. were practiced by the
Taft leaders in the convention and
caused the split that resulted in the
election Of the contesting delegation
The Roosevelt leaders charge that
the control of the convention was
wrested from them by unfair unseating
of their members on the credentials
and other committees.
While the battle for control OF the
convention was absorbing the attention
Of the delegates a proposition was made
to Harry S. New by Horace Stillwell to
split the "big four" in the interest of
harmony equally between Taft and
Roosevelt. Mr. New rejected the pro-
posal which previously is said to have
been turned down at Washington
In explaining the action of the Roose-
welt followers, Chairman Lee, Of the
colonel's campaign organization said:
