Thky say that Postmaster General

permission of congress to adopt a con

to bo present in tho United States sen

Mo To is president of one and incident

The Sedgwick Reeso campaign for tho
supreme judgeship nomination presents
one of the most unique situations in tho
history of Nebraska politics from tho
Republican view - point The line - up
indeed reminds the writer of tho famil
iar stake and rider fence of the Hills o
Somerset Pennsylvania To tho lay
man it is tho least easily decipherable
of recent political maneuvers in tho
Prairie state being replete with situa
tions apparently contradictory and in
harmonious Contemplate Will Dayton
of the York Republican supporting the
brother of his arch enemy Tim Sedg
wick of tho York Times Other in
stances might bo cited without end
Whilo Sedgwick is evidently not dis
tasteful to tho railroad elements seeking
to continue its control of tho state ho
apparently has the earnest and active
support of some well known anti-railroad
people And vice versa In the gen
oral mix up we find tho Republican state
organization backing Reese the State
Journal supporting Sedgwick for well
known personal reasons And so on ad
lib It is admitted that the railroads
brutally defeated Repse in the Hastings
convention of proxy infamy Members of
the press gang are actively backing each
but the people are not being taken into
their confidence the animus is lacking
motives are obscure The only thing
that appears to be reasonably certain in
the case is tho fact the railroads inter
ests are backing Sedgwick We leave
the reader to assume why
CUNNING COYOTES
Their Patience and Some of Their
Other Peculiar Traits
This Is the coyote with
all the syllables to the Mexican who
named him kiote merely to the
American wanderer who has come and
gone so often that he at last regards
himself a resident stockman and
farmer
It Is this little beasts triangular vis
age his sharp nose fitted for the easy
Investigation of other peoples affairs
his oblique green eyes with their
squint of cowardice and perpetual
hunger says the Outing Magazine that
should have a place in the adornment
of escutcheons It Is notorious that
the vicissitudes of his belly never
bring to him the fate upon whose
verge he always lives and that nothing
but strychnine and not always that
will bring an end to his forlorn career
As his gray back moves slowly along
above the reeds and coarse grass and
he turns his head to look at you he
knows at once whether or not you
have with you a gun and you cannot
know how he knows Once satisfied
that you are unarmed he will remain
near in spite of any vocal remon
strances and by and by may proceed
to interview you in a way that for un
obtrusiveness might be taken as a
model of the art
Lie down on the thick brown carpet
of the wilderness and be still for twen
ty minutes and watching him from
the corner of your eye you will see
that he has been joined by others of
his brethren hitherto unseen He
seems to be curious to know first If
you are dead and second if by any
chance and he lives upon chances
there is anything else in your neigh
borhood that he might find eatable
If you pass on with Indifference
which is the usual way he will sit
himself down upon his tail on the
nearest knoll and loll hrs red tongue
and leer at you as one with whom he
Is half inclined to claim acquaintance
He looks and acts then so much like a
gray dog that one is inclined to whistle
to him Make any hostile demonstra
tion and he will move a little farther
and sit down again
If by any means you manage to of
fend him deeply at this juncture the
chances are that he and his comrades
may retire stfll farther and then bark
ceaselessly until they have hooted you
out of the neighborhood That night
he and some of his companions may
come and steal the straps from your
saddle the meat from The frying pan
and politely clean tho pan and even
the boots from beside your lowly bed
The First Rose
According to a very ancient legend
the first rose appeared upon the earth
at Gulistan The lotus had long reign
ed alone but the flowers became dis
satisfied because their drowsy queen
could only keep awake by day They
wished for one who would be as fair
In revels under the moon as In the
garish day It was then the rose ap
peared and was chosen the queen of
flowers She sprang into being at the
song of the nightingale and was purest
white until colored with the blood
from the nightingales breast As
earths sweetest singers are those who
have felt the thorn so It Is said the
nightingale Bings his exquisite music
to the rose with his breast upon a
thorn CSrc J
THE TRAIN BELL ROPE
How It and the Conductors Supremacy
Came to Be Established
Although there does not seem to be
anything in common between pugilism
and railroad rules yet the adoption of
the familiar bell rope that stretches
through every car of the modern train
was the result of a fistic encounter At
the same time and by the Issuo of tho
same combat the supremacy of the con
ductor In railroad travel was ordained
It was Philadelphia which gave both
to tho world
One of the oldest railroads in the
country Is the Philadelphia Wilming
ton and Baltimore now known as tho
Philadelphia Baltimore and Washing
ton which was opened in 1837 The
terminus in Philadelphia was at Broad
and Prime streets Prime street now
being known as Washington avenue
and after crossing the Schuylkill river
at Grays Ferry the route ran along the
Delaware river on what is now the
Chester lino of the Reading railway
The first schedule contained ono pas
senger train which went to Baltimore
one day and came back the next which
was considered a remarkable feat in
rapid travel When a train a day each
way was placed in service the people
of the two cities served concluded that
the acme of convenience in transporta
tion had been reached
Next to the president of the railroad
the most important functionaries were
the engineer and conductor It was a
question whether or not the head of
the line was not considered a subsidi
ary officer in popular estimation to the
men who ran the train but Robert
Fogg who pulled the throttle and
John Wolf who collected fares won
the deference of the public because of
their high and responsible duties
Fogg an Englishman had all the
tenacity of opinion of his race Wolf
an American had the ingenuity of the
Yankee and seeing the need of some
method by which he could communi
cate with the engineer devised the
scheme of running a cord through the
cars to the locomotive As the engine
was a wood burner Wolf fastened one
end of the cord to a log which was
placed on the engineers seat and was
pulled to the floor when the conductor
desired to signal for a stop
Fogg resented what he considered an
interference with his rights on the
platform of the locomotive and on the
first run out from Broad and Prime
streets with the new device paid no
heed to the displacement of the log
from the seat when the conductor de
sired to take on a passenger from a
farm near Grays Ferry but sped on
over the bridge and did not deign to
bring his engine to a stop until Blue
Bell station on the south side of the
Schuylkill had been reached Then
he demanded to know of Wolf why he
had been jerking that log all about the
locomotive
Wolf hotly declared that he had sig
naled to stop but Fogg retorted that
he would stop when and where he
pleased and that too without any ref
erence to orders from the conductor
whom he did not regard as his superior
In the management of the train The
altercation grew very heated and Wolf
invited the engineer from the cab to
settle the matter and the challenge
was quickly accepted
Passengers and a group of men who
had gathered at the station to see the
train come in formed a ring about the
combatants but the fight did not last
long as Wolf proved by far the su
perior artist with his fists and with
a few blows made it almost impossible
for the engineer to see sufficiently to
complete his run but Fogg admitted
that he had been fairly beaten and the
supremacy of the conductor on a train
was settled for all time
As the log signal was crude and in
effective Wolf devised the use of a
bell on the locomotive and this method
was soon adopted by all of the Amer
ican railroads Then a code of sig
nals was adopted and these remain
practically to this day The only
change in the bell cord is that by use
of the air from the brake system a
whistle has superseded the bell in the
locomotive cab Philadelphia Ledger
Clays Ready Wit
When Henry Clay was stumping
Kentucky for re election at one of his
mass meetings an old hunter of wide
political influence said Well Harry
Ive always been for you but because
of that vote which he named Im
goin agin you
Let me see your rifle said Clay
It was handed to him
Is she a good rifle
Yes
Did she ever miss fire
Well yes once
Why didnt you throw her away
The old hunter thought a moment
and then said Harry Ill try you
again
And Harry was elected
Hard on the Reporters
I had a strange dream the other
night said the major
What was it asked the young
thing
I went to heaven and as an old
newspaper man was interested in their
journal up there It was a miserable
thing not a well written story In it
and I told St Peter so
What did he say
He said Its not our fault We
never get any good reporters up here

precinct where Mr Skalla has lived for
the past eighteen years ever since his
boyhood As the republican vote in

such a splendid endorsement
