T, 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. Washlngton Star. 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 street's. Tommy’* Question.

"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.” Wanted Two traveling salesmen In each Southern State. $55 and - expens-s.
