The wind would have to be very
strong indeed if it were to perceptibly
accelerate the speed of a fast train, for
even iD the most violent gales it does
not blow at so great a rate as fifty or
6uity miles an hour, except in brief
gusts. If it did, scarcely any buildings
could withstand its force. It stands, of
course, to reason that for a train to be
helped by the wind to any material ex
tent it would be necessary for the wind
to proceed at a greater rate than the
train.
(Iex. O. O. Howakd is preparing to
write a life of President Zachary Tay
lor and has been at work for nearly a
year gathering material therefor. Re
cently he was in Louisville, where he
went to consult Gen. Thomas Taylor re
garding the disputed date of '"Old Rough
and Ready's"' marriage. He found the
court record fixing the date of the cere
mony June 10, 1S10, and found also the
log house on the bank of Harrod's
creek, where the ceramony was per
formed. Mr. George V. Cable, the American
-author, was at one time a book-keeper
in a counting housein New Orleans. He
had to work from carry morning till late
at night for a miserabby inadequate
wage. While he was there Scribner's
accepted his first story of Creole life.
His opportunities for writing were very
few, and it was eight years from the
time that Mr. Cable first wrote for
Scribner's before he began his first
serial. He is in very different circum
stances now.
TnE celebration of marriage, partly

in 1190. All the ancient missals direct
that toward the conclusion of the serv
ice the parties shall enter.the church as
far as the step of the altar. The great
er portion of the ceremony was thus
performed in the south porch, still often
called in country districts the "wedding
door." It was only in the reign of
Edward VI. that the whole of the cere
mony was allowed to be performed in
the middle of the church.
Dr. Livixgstoxe once said he had
walked for weeks through a region in
Africa where a lake ought to be, ac
cording to the maps. Joseph Thomp
son reported when he returned to En
gland awhile ago, that, if the maps
were accurate, he had been sleeping in
the middle of Lake Bangweolo; and
now Mr. Fortin writes that there is
something wrong with the big island
mapped in the Gulf of Paria, on the
northeast coast of Venezuela, for he
has walked all over it, and is unable to
find where it is detached from the main
land.

Harold, his thirteen-year-old son. had
his arm broken in two places recently

that have befallen him. He broke his
right forearm in two places by failing
on a sidewalk in Washington, and prc--vious
to that broke his right leg while
driving in New Orleans, and also his
shoulder-blade. Mr. Nelson's first boy,
who died at the aga of five, had six of

Tlie democratic state invention to
choose delegates to Chicago met at
Omaha on the ISth. The opening
scenes were quite stormy, thcte being
two sets of delegates from Douglas,
Cheyenne, Cuming and Hitchcock coun
ties. After the convention assembled
Judge Batty was made temporary chair
man. After the committee on creden
tials had been appointed the contesting
delegations took their case before it
and the matter occupied the attention
of the committee nearly all night, pend
ing which the convention after hearing
several speeches adjourned until morn
ing. Upon reassembling the report of
the committee on credentials was favor
able to the Boyd delegates and they
were seated. The delegates from the
various congressional districts selected
the following district delegates to the
Chicago convention: Robert Clegg,
N. S. Harwood, John Creighton,
Charles Ogden, J. P. Latt, T. Hale.
Matt Miller, C. F. Cook, R. A. Batty, F.

made eliminating the instructions of
the delegation, and the resolution was
then passed. The convention ratified
the district delegates chosen and se
lected Gov. Boyd, Tobias Carter, Judge
W. II. Thompson and Milton Doolittle
delegates at large. The resolutions de
clare adherence to the national demo
cratic platform of 1SS4 and the tariff

A Heavy Snow Storm Interferes With the

the ItUKtlers.
Douglas, Wyo., April 21. A severe
snowstorm, which has raged without
intermission since Sunday night, has
killed hundreds of young calves and
man- weak cows and sheep. Cattle
men pronounce it the worst since the
spring of 18SG and the end is not yet,
for it was still snowing last night Col.
Van Horn, with three companies of
cavalry, are en route for Douglas as
guard to the cattlemen captured at tlie
T. A. ranch a week ago.
A stage driver just in from the north
and private letters received here from
Buffalo last night state that the troops
left Fort McKinney Sunday morning.
Howard Roles, deputy sheriff of John
son county, is in charge of the prison
ers, who, therefore, are really in the
hands of civil authorities, under mili
tary protection. Col. Van Horn, when
he left Buffalo, expected to reach Doug
las by Friday, but the severe storm,
coupled with the terrible condition of
the roads, has undoubtedly made
it impossible to make tlie trip
in that time. The expedition
camped Sunday night at Crazy
Woman's crossing, and were to make
Powder river Monday night They prob
ably got as far as Seventeen Mile stage
station Tuesday night, and were at Sand
creek, about sixty miles from here, last
night They cannot possibly reach
Douglas before noon Saturday. They
may send a courier ahead, however, and
have a special train meet tliera at old
Fort Fettennan, ten miles north of
here, where they will probably drive ,
Friday night. In that case the prison
ers will reach Cheyenne Saturday morn
ing. The fact that Deputy Sheriff Roles is
with the party is believed here to guar
antee them from ambush or attack en
route. It is believed that the so-called
avengers have decided to let the law
take its course and will make no hostile
demonstrations.

to this county that the rival colonies ol

dead. It was a struggle for possession
of the town, the stories said.
