THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. Auff. 27, 189b. HON. TH0S.E. WATSON. WHAT TUB NBw YORK WORLD SAYS OF HIM. I riaty Debate ul Maa f OrMI C"-Wh1 Hooar taa Offlce ef VfePra!dest m Km Other Coald b id VUW Xaaae. v Tht populist eandldata for rice presl lent. Tom Watson, of Thomson, Gs, Is Marly forty yean old. It would mir prist him to bs called Thomas E. Wat on. Bm la rather below the medium n. thin, welching 140 or 160 pounds. HI angular, freckled face la always Hrfooth-ahaven; his well-shaped head Is eomed with a thick crop of hair of a color hla friends call auburn, his enemies red. He has a good flow of language; tears In his voice when he wishes to touch bis hearers' feelings. Bat he Is a fiery debater. No one has doubted his personal courage. No one doubts that, whether he Is right or wrong, Tom Watson believes he Is right Mr. Watson was born in Columbia county, Georgia, Sept 6, 1858. He was educated in the public schools and was then sent to Mercer university, at Ma con, Oa. He was too poor to go through college and left at the end of the sopho more year. Then he taught school for two years. He read law under Judge W.R. McLaws at Augusta, Oa., and was admitted to the bar. He began to prac tioe law In November, 1876, at his old home, Thomson, Oa. He made a small fortune for Georgia 140.000 or 150. 000, at his profession, the larger part of which has been expended In legiti mately furthering his political ambl uoa. Beside the law Mr. Watson has bean and Is Interested In farming. Scarcely had Mr. Watson been elected to the Fifty-second congress when he wrote to Charles P. Crisp, a democrat or bis own state, and a candidate for speaker of the bouse: "I feel bound to vote for that demo crat who has been the most active and radical in his demands for tariff re form and who stands nearest to the Ocala platform of the Fanners' alliance. I hare no hesitation in saying that the Ocala platform meets my hearty en dorsement and that my chief hope for any real reform, beneficial to the mum, rests upon that order." Mr. Watson soon showed that he was a populist, not a democrat He in grafted himself with the Farmers' alli ance. He at once became identified with the extreme, or third party ele ment, as opposed to the conservative, or democratic alliance, of which Con fnssman L. F. Livingston was the head. When the lines were drawn more closely and the alliance declared openly for a new party Livingston was repudiated and Tom Watson became the idol of the farmers. His influence was strong because it w&a based on the belief that he was sincere. In passing it may be said that Wat son has publicly announced that he is fond of his wife. In a campaign speech Mr. Watson made at Augusta, Ga., when his third-party constituents gave him a rousing recentlon. Mr. Watson "I thank you not only for myself, but ta (he name of my good little wife, who has shared every hour of my toil, and without whose company I should have been weak Indeed. If I have been able to be true to you, which I think I have; it I have been able never to for get that down in the old tenth district were the warm hearts of the people nrhoee place I represented in the na tional halls who wished their views put : before the country; it was very largely to that part of the firm of Watson and wife which was the better member of the two." (Cheers for Mrs. Watson.) j Insurance Department. Ooadncted by J. T. H. 8w1grt. Correspondence solicited. STATE FAIB.

Mr. Hibner is a logical and convincing speaker. By the time he got through talking most of his audi ence was convinced of the injustice of the gold standard and were enthusiastic supporters of Bryan and Sewell. The meeting was held in the open air, as no building large enough to hold the crowd could be found in the town. Mr. Hibner reports a remarkable growth iu the silver sentiment in Seward county. The Modern Woodmen of the eastern half of Nebraska are holding a "log rolling" at Beatrice today. Among the notables in attendance is Head Counsel W. A. Northcote.

If she would see herself in the deceptive mir ror as others see her with the eye, or as nearly as possible, lot her hnain to a dry goods shop and buy a Quantity of soft, pure white material, guaze, if possible, if not, Swiss or India muslin will answer very well. Be sure and have it pure white, and after polish ing the surface of the mirror eather the material at the center of the top, and bring it down softly at either side, framing the glass in folds of pure white. When this is done to artistic satisfaction peep In and see what a transformation! The true tints of the complexion, the expression of the conn, tenance and eyes, the correct color of the hair, will be very accurately re flected. This is one of the milliner's oldest secrets. Many of them drape the glasses on opening day in the softest drapery of pure white. It is done with the view of giving the fair patronesses the best view of themselves possible, adminletering in this way a little sub tle flattery, thereby disposing more easily of a greater amount of goods. Then the white-draped mirror, the lace-covered toilet table, make a dainty spot In any girl's room. MME. CALVE PRAISES AMERICA. Says She Would Prefer It to Any Coun try bat Bar Own. Harper's Weekly: Mme. Calve is as loyal to Americans when she is in Paris as they are to her when she is In New York. She has been talking to a Parisian reporter about L'Ameri que, and assures him that it is an en chanted and dreamlike country, to which, if she were not French, she would wish to belong. She brags hand somely to her countrymen about our vllles manifiques, with avenues as wide as Champs Elysees, bordered with structures two or three times as high as the buildings in Paris, and brilliant with electric lights. Even more warm ly she praises the remarkable develop ment of our artistic instincts, which encourages artists to give full swing to their true temperaments, and to inter pret the masters according to their own ideals. Melba, it seems, has told a Parisian interviewer that after singing in opera in America she hardly dares to risk herself on a Parisian stage. Calve says she sympathizes with her, and, fond as she is of the Parisian public, looks forward with trepidation to appearing before It again. She does not expect to make the experiment for another year, when she will return to Paris in May, "pour creer Sapho, de mon cher maitre Massenet" . The FhUoeopblcal Han.

Chicago, UL Bald Sr .rs kneads Dont You Know That there is nothing to the av erage conception of humanity thatia more unbecoming than a bald head? Tet many careless young men will oomb out a nice head of hair and be content to be bald the remainder of their lives. It if a burning shame. Would they pause for a mom ent's reflection they might well know that the crowning beauty of any person, as nature so in tended, is a nice head of hair.
