Fagg, for many years employed in the registry branch of the Kansas City, Mo., postoffice, was arrested by postoffice proper moment in the interests of harmony. It is now feared that the antago- nism of Bryan and Hearst combined would make the nomination of Judge Pe rker a suicidal movement.

(A week — the Scntanan 0.3, ae, sate suggestion of McClellanand Williams asa likely ticket evoked considera- ble enthusiasm. However, people of the south argue that Representative Williams is not of presidential size, Then, too, the question arises of the strength of McClellan in the west. AsSenator Gorman sizes up the situation, Towne is the strongest man yet mentioned. Bryan is his personal friend and warm supporter, and there is no doubt the Nebraskan would rally all nis friends under the Towne banner. It is held that Towne would be very strong in the west and northwest and that the south would give him its solid support. Furthermore, since he has mixed in with the moneyed interests of the east he has secured a foothold there, and Senator Gorman believes he would carry New York. The Mary- land seer predicts that when the Democrats meet in St. Louis no one faction will be in coutrol of the con- vention, and, after wrestling with animosities fora day and exhaust- ing themselves the Democrats will realize the need of a “get-together” policy and seek a man upon whom all the factions can combine. So far as he can peer into the future at this time, Charles A. Towne seems the most likely candidate. That ‘Meat Trust We are unalterably opposed to. Not only Sure Enough Old Socks. This story is told: of an old bach- elor who bought @ pair of socks and found attached to one a paper with these words: “I am a young lady of twenty and would like to correspond witha bachelor with a view to matri- mony.” Name and address were given. The bachelor wrote and in a few days got this reply: “Mamma was married twenty years ago. Evi- dently the merchant whom you bought those socks of did not adver- tise, or he would have sold them long ago. My mother handed me your letter and said possibly I might suit. T am eighteen.” —Ex. Must Produce Contracts. Washington, April 30.—Backed by the supreme court of the United States, the interstate commercecom- mission will demand that the local barons produce contracts and give the evidence which they refused to give the committee on the suit for the dissolution of the coal trust filed by William &. Hearst in November, 1902. The coal barons will be summoned to appear before the Interstate com merce commission in New York May Great flocks of sea gulls are said to be on the back waters of the Marias des Cygnes. They probably came up the Mississippi from the gulf and then up this river. These birds no doubt think they are still on the ocean, the river being about four miles wide. Such fowls, however, are searcely ever seen 700 miles from the coast.—Rich Hill Review.
