This morning at 3:H0the residence
of Charles Vandeveiiter was dis
covered to be on Pre. The baby
awakened Mr. Vandeveiiter by cry
ing, and when lie arose he found
the house to be a sheet of flames.
The house burned to the ground,
and most all of the furniture went
with it. Mr. Vandeveiiter and fam-
5 ily had time enough to get out of
the house and to save a small por
i tion of the furniture.
3 The house was valued at $1,500.
The house and furniture were in
sured, but the insurance will not
I cover the loss. The origin of the
j lire is a mystery, but it is the sup
I position that lightning was th
l cause. The house and content
J were insured in the Home Insur

A Dramatic Scene.
This forenoon a couple came from
the Iowa side for the purpose o
procuring a marriage license and
''having the matrimonial knot tied
.upon the Nebraska side. The pros
pective groom was from Fremon
'county and his occupation that of a
.farmer and his age 22 years, while
'n. . a . a t
jine prospective orme nveu in iims
county, ana gave ner age as is, ai
ho ugh she was undoubtedly
tew years older. lhe young
man left his blushing partner be-
ow whtle he went up to ask
;he stern judge for a permit to
'.ved. After the permit had been
rrauted and arranirements made
with Judge Ramsey to perform the
eremony, he went down stairs to
jet his prospective bride. They ar
jived at the judge's office and he
old them to join their right hands
;-he then stepped into another
Loom to get the license and when
le reached the room he was some
what surprised to find that the
ride had fainted. Two young lad-
?s who happened to be present ran
br water and a camphor bottle
rhich happened to be near at hand
nd the prospective bride was soon
estored to consciousness. But the
'eremony stopped short, some
nought that the couple had run
way and at the last moment
le young lady had repented,
hile others seemed toth'nk that
lie really did faint. Judge Ram
?y was anxiously awaiting their
sturn, but up to the time of The
(EKALD going to press they had
iled to put in an appearance.

Taken In.
A woman with a baby in her arms ap
proached an innocent looking young
man who was sitting in Central park
yesterday. She asked him to hold the
baby while she went to look at the
menagerie. As she did not return the
young man thinks she must have been
taken in by the boa constrictor or
the rhinoceros, but the sparrow cop to
whom he confided his suspicions is of
the opinion that .it was the young man

Upon a crimson cloth the chamelon
becomes almost 'crimson; move it upon
a gray surface and the bright tints will
quickly subside. But at night, whether
disturbed or not, it invariably assumes
its palest tints. Two which I caught in
the Cape Town garden, which were of a
very brilliant metallic green, were splen
didly decorated. On the back or sides,
sometimes Baddlewise and sometimes
lengthwise, were slashes of red. The
markings vary in the individuals. The
crest and decorations on the head and
back are like fretwork, the whole body
and limbs are dotted with very fine

warts or tubercles like shagreen, and
when angry all these distinctive fea
tures are exaggerated, the gills and

mouth wide, displaying the yellow,
fleshy interior, and closing its teeth on
your finger should you provoke it to do

Judge Gresham has at last been
heard from and has defined in his
own peculiar way his position if
regard to the presidential nomina
tion. Hon R. S Scott, chairman on
the Iowa state central committee of
the people's party, yesterday sent
Judge Gresham the following tele
gram.
"W il you stand as the candidate
of the Omaha convention for the
presidency on the St. Louis plat
lorm. K. s. scott
To this telegram Judge Gresham
last night replied:
'I stand by my interview of a few
days ago on the subject. My name
will not be presented to the Omaha
convention." WALTER O,. GRESUAM
The interview to which Judge
Gresham refers was one in which
he stated that he agreed with the
people's party on a great many
things, but that he did not agree
with that party in all its declara
tions. Thus the telegram received
from the judge is interpreted as
meaning that he cannot stand as a
candidate on the St. Louis platform,
since in his interview he stated that
he did not agree with that party in
all its declarations. The announce
ment that a telegram had been re
ceived from the judge caused con
siderable excitemeut late last eve
ning, and when its contents became
known it was generally accepted by
the more conservative as clearly
indicating that Judge Gresham did
not desire his name to be longer
mentioned in this connection
Considerable stress is put upon his
closing sentence: "My name will
not be presented to the convention.'
This is accepted as being the ex
pression of his sincere desire in re
garu to tne matter, mere are a
few of the more enthusiastic
Gresham men, however, who are
still disposed to believe that the
judge will accept the nomination if
it be tendered him, but these gen
tlemen appear to be in a hopeless
minority, and the indications are
that this telegram will be accepted
as authoritative and final, and that
the Gresham boom is a thing of the
past.
The national convention of the
people' 8 party will convene under
inspiring circumstances. The pas
sage of the free silver bill by the
United States senate yesterday is
accepted by the delegates to the na
tional convention as a vindication
of their organization's demand for
a greater circulating medium. The
leaders all agree that nothing could
hevebeen done at this time that
could have been more propritious
for the people's part3r hopes.
The national central committee,
composed of 150 prominent mem
bers of the people's party from all
sections of the union, was in session
when the senate took the
final vote on the passage of the sil
ver bill. Thirty seconds after the
result was announced by the chair

A 1 , - .

Nearly every member jumped to his

the United States senate, and it was
brawny Terrell of Texas who shout
ed: "Now let the people's represen-
iatives, the lower house of congress,
do the people's bidding and likewise
pass the bill."
There was a feeling that the
house of representatives will hardly
dare adjourn without giving the
measure its consideration. Tele
grams of congratulation have
flashed from Omaha to Washing
ton congratulating Senators Kyle
and Peffer and all other people's
party legislators for the first ray of
hope that comes in the passage of a
free coinage bill by the United
States senate.
