fused to endorse tho nomination and
adjourned ex pre;-6i n g their determi
nation of having Samuel Maxwell, tho
present incumbent, run independent.
The plan provided by trie fusion
busses called for a joint con vuntion of
tile three parties when the time of
balloting should arrive Numerous
con foreiio com m ittees were appointed
and much time consumed in prelimi
naries after the three conventions had
each been organized in separate halls,
and majority and minority reports re
furred to the convertions and much
wraiiifline-, and considerable bitter
ties resulted. Tho latter was partic
ularly noticablo in the free silvor con
vention. Tlm democrats and populisms
finally met in joint convention, aud
tho nomination of John S. Itobinson
was the result. Tho delegations of
two counties, Dixon and Cedar, de
clined to vote on roll call, but never
theless the p'an of the loaders as
mapped out in advance was carried
through.

The rain last night was a very good

OUT OF THE FIRE.
One Home That V.'a Xot rnnic Stricken
When His IMaMter VViit t liefiouo Iliiu.
The common helii f that horses iu a
burning Luildir.g aro always j'aiiio
stricken and refrui-tory, m.it D-c-ogniziiig
their friends and lvl'u.-ing ohedience to
those who would rescue them, is not
strictly true, as is provt d hy nn incident
related hy a Companion contrilmtor.
The governor had a fine black driving
horse called Dexter. Although strong
and spirited, Dexter waa docile and obe
dient and wa.5 petted and made much
of by his master. As the governor kept
no other horse, Dexter had the stable
all to himself, with a clean stall and a
full manger.
The stable va3 near the hnu?e. and in
addition to Dexter's st:ill and harness
room contained a large carriage room,
au oat bin and a haymow over the stall.
One night, when the family and the
servants were away from home ami the
governor was in the house ah.no, he
was awakened 1 y au ominous crackling
and a bright glare on his chamber win
dow, and before he could collect his
sleepy wits he was startled by a cry un
like any sound he had ever heard. As he
tpranoc out of bed the cry came again,
and hastening to the window lie learned
the cause. The stable was all ablaze,
and out of the smoke and flames Dexter
was calling his muster to his rescue.
Pausing only to dou coat and slippers,
the governor rushed out. The outside
3oor of the stable leading into the stall
was already blocked by the flames, and
the only entrance to be had was through
tho carriage-room, the harness room aud
a narrow entry leading oast the cat bin.
These rooms were on fire overhead, and
burning wisps of hay and shingles were
raining down in showers.
Blinded by smoke, the governor stum
bled along the roundabout way and,
reaching the stall sooner than he expect
ed, fell headlong Clown the steps against
the excited animal, who was vainly
tugging at his halter. Thinking some
new danger threatened him, Lvxter
gave a mighty kick that sent his master
sprawling and lamed him for a month.
"Whoa, Dexter!'' shoao-d the govern
or. "Don't you know me, sir.- Mea-iy
now, cLl fellow, and we'll g.t out of
this."
Rt cognizing his ma-t r's voice. Dex
ter turned Li.- ia ..d in ward the pre-liate
man and utteTed a coaling whinny quite
unlike his previous loud cries of alarm.
Knowing he need fear no more kicks,
the governor crept up and cut theh.iltei
and, calling Dexter to follow him,
limped blindly through the smoke tilled
entry aud the two blazing rooms be
yond, aud close, after him went D-xtcr,
his uosu 'pressed agaiu.-t his ma.-ier f
shoulder, uau and horso reaching the
safe- outer-air together.
"It was Dexter's obedience thr.t saved
him," said the governor. "I could n ,t
lead him, and had he shown the lca.-t
obstinacy or any less r a liuess to fal
low at a word through all that roaud
about, unaccustomed way I must have
left him to perish in the liames, but he
followed like a well trained soldier, and
wo escaped from our burning, fiery
furuiico almost as safely as tihudrach.
