Senator Penrose. of tin republican national committee , who also will lie one of the delegates from Philadelphia will be one of the towering figures of the convention , not only In the cense of a party leader , but also from the lac ) that he is six feet two inches in hcinht.

He went by way of Mobile , Ala. , and shipped in a fruit steamer , | whose captain is a brother-in-law of ex-County Treasurer Chris Schavland . In an interview in the Madison Star Mail the following account of the trip is given : From Colon the doctor took the train for Panama ou the western ' coast. This road parallels the ano ! and on Its line are located about twenty-live stations It is .1 broad gauge road and Is operated with mod ern rolling stock. The trip from Colon is made In about two hours and thirty minutes. The stations along Its route are occupied for the most part by the forces engaged In work on the cnual. 'Phe re are seven trains n day on this road and two more are to be added at an early date. The chief engineer who has charge of the work on the canal has n special car and puts in most of his time running back and forth over the route- viewing the work and keep ing things in motion. 'Phe doctor says in his opinion the dinging of the canal is a stupendous undertaking and fiat he had no idea how long it ! s going to take to complete it. He states that acres are covered with machinery of all Kinds consisting of dredges , shovels engines , dump cars , etc. , which were abandoned by the DoLesseps of the French company which first started to dig the > canal. This machinery la rusted and rotted nnd for the most part is a pile of junk , but I'ncle Sam's forces have resurrected some of the more Important tools and are putting them in shape for use. Panama City Is quite a modern city and contains about 50,000 people which consists of a cosmopolitan class of Inhabitants having many fine public buildings of marble with a number of very fair mercantile houses , residences etc. The city Is also the seat of the Panama government and hero the president makes his home. The ex ecutive mansion is constantly guard ed by soldiers with fixed bayonets for there is no telling when an Insurrec tion will break out and the president's life Is constantly In danger. He Is rarely seen on the streets and then only when accompanied by a heavy body guard.

Kansas City Star : It was announc ed last week that three new detectives had been employed at the Union de pot. Yesterday afternoon V , I.

"It's em account of the home-coming of the college boys. A college youth simply cannot resist 'hooking' all the signs he has an oppor tunity to get. They tell me that's the llrst thing a freshman 'learns. ' "Now , the signs at the depot here are not very attractive but hanging in a boy's room , 1 imagine they'd look very weird and unique. For instance , wouldn't the yennig man's mother be horrified to sec that one ?

Dr. Mackay Regrets That There is No Byron to Sing its Praises. Norfolk , Neb. , June II' . Editor News : There is no Byron to sing a hymn in the vale e > f the Elkhorn. yet at our door lie scenes of wondrous beauty , nnd opportunities for outdoor recreation unrivalled anywhere. What are the Alive and Arviron , that Byron immortalized , but blatant mountain torrents fiettlng a pathway through the granite tombstones of a land whose soil has heen sepulchred for ages on tile depths of the ocean ! What , in deed , is the lure of the mountain but a fatuous thing that dissipates energy in surmounting bleak ocks In a land of shivering desolation. Perchance you would seek surcease from the dp- mentitt Americana in the Utopian north woods. There , the black files are a torture by day and the mesquites infest the tilth t like scourging de mons. Dismal , In s-omber garments , the spruce and juniper fill the gloomy aisles of the woods and drip moisture all the day. Torpid and sable , through a pathless .stagnation of ooze and rotting vegetation , the sluugish streams , vit-led In miasmatic vapors , percolate from swamp to swamp in an interminable wilderness where the winds are ever held in leash by the wooding Inertia of the seiliiudes. The kingdom of health is not there. Where the breezes riot over fertile prairies , censers e > f the Incense blown from fields of corn and new-mown hay , the Elkhorn Hews in serenest majesty , through sheltering thickets , between green banks , festooned with vines and enameled with wild llowers , an emblem of peace , rest and strength. Without noise , without hurrying or loitering it rolls over its bare of smooth , white sand , a symbol of the land through which it llenvs a symbol of vastness , of endurance aud power in reserve. Here nature outspreads her noblest panorama , the very es sence of her spirit in groves and or chards. In happy homes , scattered far and wide over illimitable meadows and fields of waving grain. Truly this is nature's Biibllmest spectacle a vast multitude being fed and comfort ed and cattle grazing on a thousand hills where once the desert held su- premost sway and wild beasts and savage men roamed Its solitudes. Amid such scenes man reaches his highest harmony with nature. There Is that delightful segregation of the home and Individual Inimical to the pollution of urban gregariousness. The gyve's of habits , the- contempt that familiarity between the sexes Inspires the craving for unnatural gratification of nass-iniis an- unknown where blue skies , and not brick w.ilU , enclose- the horizon of life And withal , there Is no iseilaMon no mountain barriers or swampy moats to contract environ ment or pervert communication. tnuerse'd the north weMds until 1 learned ( lie delights of camping In other than the pathless places of the uirtli , and without wnste of time , fatigue of body or vexation of mind. 1 now pitch my tent near some thicket on the Klkhorii 1 can have a square mile without a neighbor and that I * olltude enough The Immediate pathway of the river IK as primeval aw when It first cut KH channel through Nebraska pralrles In the ( HUIH when the stai'H llrst sang together In the firmament above.
