HOGG SUGGESTED
FOE SECOND PLAGE
Ex-Governor Boomed For Running’
Mate of Bryan.
NEBRASKAN IS DELIGHTED
Proposition Made In Speeches at
Elgin, Texas.
A special from Austin, Texas, says:
While William Jennings Bryan and
ex-Govemor Hogg and other politi¬
cians were making rear-end train
speeches at Elgin Thursday afternoon
a boom, was started for ex-Governor
James Hogg for second place on the
national Democratic ticket, and Mr.
Bryan warmly applauded the proposi¬
tion.
Mr. Bryan, accompanied by Govern¬
or Sayers, ex-Governor Hogg and At¬
torney General Smith, left during the
afternoon for Waco, where Mr. Bryan
was to speak Friday. They went via
Elgin, a small junction of some five
thousand inhabitants, a few miles to
the south of Austin, to make the Waco
connection.
Arriving at Elgin, the party was re¬
ceived by almost the entire population
of the town and a perfect ovation was
tendered them.
The crowd demanded that they
should have some speech-making.
Mr. Bryan was the first to respond to
the clamor and addressed his hearers
for some ten or fifteen minutes.
He reviewed the past war briefly
and laid special stress upon the fact
that this republic did not want, nor
would they tolerate, the saddling of a
large standing army onto this nation.
He spoke most cheerfully of the cam¬
paign for 1900. He assured his hear
ers that he was down in Texas to re¬
cuperate and prepare himself for the
coming campaigu and announced that
the Democrats of the country would
find him as loyal to the 16 to 1 theory
as ever, and that it should have prece¬
dence over everything else if he had
his way.
Upon the conclusion of his address,
ex-Governor Hogg spoke briefly along
the same lines. Governor Sayers fol¬
lowed in a like manner, and then the
surprise was sprung ou the crowd by
Attorney General Smith. He extolled
Mr- Bryan as a great leader and as
owoj audience that lie would be
elected president in 1900. While the
audience was enthusiastically cheering
this statement, he added that he hoped
t§ see, and knew that he would see,
^Governor Hogg occupying the sec¬
ond place on the national ticket, as he
would make an excellent running mate
for Mr. Bryan.
This created great enthusiasm and
Mr. Bryan applauded heartily with
the remainder of the crowd. Cries
for Hogg brought him to the front
again, and he announced that the
honor sought to be thrust upon him
was more than he expected; that he
did not want any office and was not
looking for any; that he thought the
vice presidency should go to a western
man. The ovation tendered the quar¬
tet was most flattering and the train
was permitted to depart only after
considerable delay.
Secretary Mortimer, of the company, of be¬
said that this means a salvage
tween $100,000 and $150,000. With
these plates saved, the loss of the con¬
tents of tbe building may be rightly
estimated at $300,000. The building
is valued at $150,000.
FATAL COLLISION.
Trains Crash Into Each Other and
Result In the Death of
Six People.
A new York special says: The east
bound Buffalo express on the Dele
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road, while standing outside the sta¬
tion at Paterson, N. J., Wednesday
night was run into by a swiftly mov¬
ing accommodation train bound from
Phillipsburg, N. J., to Jersey City.
At least six people were killed, and
there are now twenty injured at the
hospital in Paterson, of which number
some will probably die, while some of
those seriously injured were able to go
to their destination.
Masonic Centennial Near.
A Washington dispatch says: Ar¬
rangements for the Masonic celebra¬
tion of the centennial of the death of
Worshipful George Washington on
December 14th, are about completed.
Large numbers of Masons from all
over the United States and from
Canada arc expected to attend.
Press Inventor Dead.
Charles Potter, Jr., the printing
press inventor, died at his home in
Plainfield, N.J., Saturday. Mr. Pot¬
ter made several improvements on
printing presses, and finally invented
the press which bears his name, and
from, which he amassed a fortune. *
The
Whole
Truth!
There’s nothing
so bad for a cough
as coughing.
There’s nothing
so good for a
cough as Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral.
The 25 cent size is just right
for an ordinary, size is everyday cold.
The 50 cent better for the
cough of bronchitis, croup, grip,
and hoarseness. The dollar size
is the best for chronic coughs,
as in consumption, chronic bron¬
chitis, asthma, etc.
Difficult Test
One of the hardest tests given appll
cants who go before the civil servict
commission boards of examiners Is lc
the form of printed matter which is to
be copied without a single change. It
Js said to be surprising to find how
many intelligent people find it impossi¬
ble to properly stand this test. They
can frequently correct errors in lan¬
guage which they cannot copy ver¬
batim.
There was lately an applicant who
showed his aptitude for this work. He
was given a printed page and told to
copy it.
"Want it just like this?” he asked.
“Without a change,” the examiner
replied.
The man labored. The printed mat¬
ter was on a white sheet that was spot¬
less, with the exception of a fly speck
on one of Its corners. The sheet the
student had was minus a blemish in
that particular spot, but when it was
turned In there was a well-imitated fly
speck. There was not a flaw in the
work, and he received a rating of 100
on that portion of his examination and
to-day is one of the best and most
trusted employes in the service of the
commission, where he was detailed
shortly after taking his examination.

Date-Qrowing in the Southweat.
If present advices are correct anoth¬
er important industry, that of date
growing, .will shortly be inaugurated
in this country. Through the efforts
of our Agricultural Department the
date tree of Algiers has been success¬
fully transplanted and successfully ac¬
climated in Arizona, and the beginning
of another profitable industry has thus
been made. It is predicted that in a
few years American orchards will
supply the entire home demand for
dates. It would seen that not only
Arizona, but New' Mexico, the “staked
plain” region of Texas, and consider¬
able patches in California and the In¬
dian Territory afford the peculiar con¬
ditions of soil and climate necessary
for the date. It does not appear to
thrive in regions where the humidity
is so great as in our Gulf states. A
single tree yields from 100 to 400
pounds of dates per annum.—Brad

AMERICAN BLUFF WON.
Yankee Tourist Didn’t Propose to Be Left Out
la the Cold.
"Here at home a bluff doesn’t count
for much,” said a globe-trotter, "but
I’m telling you that a good, stiff bluff,
with a cheeky American behind it, is
worth a lot of money in Europe. When
I got around to Nice last year the best
hotels were crowded, and I had to take
up With a small room. On the 6ame
floor was a German who was occupy¬
ing a suite, though not spending much
money or putting on any great style.
One day there was a great row. The
landlord had asked him as a particular
favor to vacate for a newcomer and,
of course, the man didn’t propose to be
turned out. The landlord coaxed and
argued, and the German growled and
muttered, and I followed them down
to the office to pee how It would come
out. At the desk was an American I
had run across in Venice—a buyer for a
Chicago dry goods house. When the
landlord and the German began to gab¬
ble In chorus the buyer pulled a blank
check from his pocket and reached for
a pen and said:
44 4 All this talk Is of no use. I want
rooms here. I will buy the hotel and
select my suite. Sir, what is your cash
price for this hotel?
44 4 You would buy the hotel?” ex¬
claimed the landlori, as he threw up
life hands in surprise.
44 4 Grounds and all, and I want It to¬
day. How much—a million—three or
four? And what name shall I fill in
on the check?"
“Say, now,” laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to have seen that thing
work! The German had determined to
be ugly about it, but when he bumped
up against nvman who had as soon pay
four millions as one for what he fan¬
cied he felt awed and humbled and
ready to quit. The landlord figured
that to turn away such a Croesus
would ruin his house, and It wasn’t
half an hour before the bluffer was In¬
stalled In the suite and the German
was chucked Into a dog hole on the top
floor. And that wasn’t all, mind you.
When they sent the buyer a bill based
on his supposed millions he got up and
threatened to buy up the town and
start six soap factories to running, and
they cut every item in two and begged
bis pardon to boot. I don’t believe that
chap had $1,000 to his name, but be
just walked over everything and every¬
body for two weeks, and it was current
gossip that he owned the whole of Chi¬
cago and a good share of St. Louis and
Cincinnati. Nothing but cold bluff,
which wouldn’t have taken him Into
an American dance hall as a deadhead,
but it was tsjual to a letter of credit for
$1,000,000 over there.”—Seattle Times.
Mild Sentence in the Transvaa
A recent issue of The Transvaal
Critic" contained this suggestive bit of
news: "The man Uys who thrashed
two native servant girls to death in
the Wakkerstroom district some
months ago has been sentenced to two
years’ hard labor. Mild as the sen¬
tence will appear to those who cor¬
rectly estimate th$ value of human
life, it has astounded the relatives and
friends of the accused. It says a good
deal for the jury tliqt they did not de¬
cide on an acquittal, seeing that the
State Attorney stated in the Road not
so long ago that to thrash a native
servant to death was not a dishonor
lng crime.”
