C \Ntnv. 0. . Sept. 12. ( Special Corrct-
EpuiidfMt i ) of The Bee. ) It waa a monster ,
Its IMO-MI enat fairly bUMtlng from excess
of sni v > r\ \ lira within , and the second of
its kind that the vlslj r had cheerfully nt-
tackwl To bo sure , potatoes are n common
enough dish , but so often disguised by bad
cooking nnd slovenly treatment that they
CIAEO to 'onimand the respect that they dc-
servo a ? the staple vegetable of the dinner
table.
These potatoes , how ever they ought to be
spelt with a capital P wcro so whlto. HO
floury to delltato and flno In flavor that ,
with a suggestion of salt nnd a broad hint
of freah butter , they \\rro worthy of Done-
pal or Tlpperary. The visitor broke Into
something like blank verse on the subject ,
but the in/ijor Interrupted , "All apostrophes
on polaft" s must bo nildio&srd to the farmer
of lln > f nuly. ' and bo nodded gayly toward
Mrs M' K tiley , who sat , as she invariably
Ones , at his side.
"Ven " s.ild Mrs. McKlnley , not without a
tonsil of pride , "all the vegetables , butter
nnd erf-am wo use come from my own farm ,
nnd it does please me to have our friends
appreciate them. You Bee , " she went on ,
Vrlth n tois of her shapely head , "I'm a
farmer by heredity as well as Inclination. "
"Ilo\v Is that ? " asked the visitor , who had
ft vague notion that Mrs. McKlnley's grand
father was u famous editor and her father
n prominent banker.
"Well. " said Mrs. McKlnley , "my grand
father loved the soil , and my father , who put
most of his tlmo Into the banking business ,
had a heart that turned constantly toward
farming. 'Man's noblest occupation , ' ho
used to call it , and when asked by strangers
what his business was , ho Invariably re
plied ' 1 am proud to say I am n farmer , '
During his life ho owned n number of
farms In this part of Ohio , which , rich ,
fertile and beautiful , were a constant source
of pit-actto. ! On his death , ho left six ot
these to be divided among his children.
Jly own hna been a source of happiness , and
when tribute Is paid to my vegetables , I
may add of pride , to me- , and , though It Is
a ilrlvo of quite sixteen miles , we often
visit the farm and see that things are
properly kept up by the occupants of the
old farmhouse. "
As If to punctuate her sentence , the front
doorbell gave a sharp , decisive ring , and a
moment later , a servant entered nnd an
nounced In rather hesitating tones : "Some
ladles In the hall , ma'am , with their arms
full of flowers. "
"Show them Into the sitting room and see
that they are comfortable , " replied Mrs. Mc
Klnley , with a touch of rebuke In her gentle
volte.
A PICTURESQUE GROUP.
A few momenta later the family left the
cheery dining room , the major , with a quick
endearing word to his wife , went off to his
library with Its pyramids of mall , and Mrs ,
JIcKlnloy ; went to rceelvo her callers. The
afternoon was bright , and sunshine poured
through the box window Into the room and
illumined o group of figures John Rogers
would have delighted to perpetuate. All
were standing nnd evidently a little at a
loss what to do.
The group consisted of a sturdy , mlddlc-
nged woman , whose rugged features fairly
shone with soap and honesty , and whoso
gray hair was combed back yllh painful In
tensity of neatness. On her head was un
uncompromising straw hat , wide of brim ,
stiff of crown , and with no nonsense about
It In the way of ribbons. Her gown of
calico was sparse. Immaculately clean and
partly concealed by a long , mllk-whlto
apron. Something was concealed under the
apron , for whllo the woman herself bore a
hugo bunch of flowers In her right hand ,
her left disappeared under Its folds and
evidently held some heavy and awkward ob
ject. The visitor thought of the Spartan
mother , but Hiiro aio no foxes about Can
ton ( the grape * are sour ) , and so wo had to
wait developments. Next to her stood a
younger woman , whose small , pale features
were well nigh obscured by a straw shaker.
Tall thin , with drooping shoulders and nar
row chest , she resembled her companion only
In the absolute cleanliness of her person
nnd scantncss of dress. She , too , carried a
generous bunch of blossoms.
The other visitors were small , scared chil
dren , a boy of 5 and a girl of A. As soap
advertisements they would have been a shin
ing success , llarcfooted and sllmly clothed ,
they convoyed the Impression of having been
scrubbed within an Inch of their lives. In
deed the visitor wondered how much of them
had gone oft In "suds. " Even their hair
suggested In color that famous brand of soap
"warrantiNl to clean the hide of an elephant
or polish your family silver. "
BROUGHT HER SOME POSIES.
Mrs. JlcICInley took the Initiative with a
smllo ot welcome. "Why. Katie , Is that
your I thought It was time for a visit.
And who are these friends' ? " she said , to
the middle-aged woman.
"La , MUs McKlnley. " said Katie , with an
answering smllo that softened her rugged
face Into comeliness , "La , now , this here Is
my niece. Kittle , she's my namesake , and
these two young uiiri be her children. Kit
tle , now , she was kind o' lonesome like
her man's away to see you and sez I , get
on your duds and we'll take the children
along and go and see Ma McKlnley , and we
brought you some posies along , too. "
"Sit down , all of you , " said Mrs. McKln
ley , and with the tact born nt good breeding
she said to the visitor , "ICatlo lived with
us for twelve years ami always took good
care of the major and myself. " At this
Kntlo smiled a smllo that put the ounshlno
out of countenance , and , advancing , pushed
a bunch of ( lowers in Mrs. McKlnloy's hand
that would delight "ye lovers of nn olden
< garden , " There were stocks and verbenas ,
larkspur and sweet wllllams , nasturtiums
and marigolds , balsams and mourning
brides , mignonette and four o'clocks , gllll-
( lowers nnil snapdragons. "And all my own
ralaln' , " sliu said with pardonable pride
"Now , Kittle , don't you get IHimimuusl ;
give Miss McIClnliiy yourn. " Kittle came
timidly forward , but her powers of speech
failed , and she stood with extended arm
stock ( till.
"Aro these from your own garden ? They
arc beauties , Kittle , " said the hostess , as she
Kcntly unclasped thc > young woman's rigid
fingers and took the flowers.
Oh , magic of praise. A rose danced Into
each palo cheek , as with a look of Intense
admiration nt the delicate face turned toward
her , Kitty responded glibly : "Vrs'm , In that
there nrc twelve kinds of phlox and 1 raised
them every ono myself. Cncle Ike , he said
they'd a taken the prize at the state fair ,
he did. "
"Now , Sammy and Minorvle. " and with
this she pushed forward the children who.
with undismayed faces , dropped their com
part little offerings of sweet peas and ger-
ranlums Into Mrs. McKlnlry's lap and pre
cipitately returned to their seats. The
brlght-nycd Emma went for vases nnd watfr
and the humble visitors grew animated with
pride nnd Joy as they saw their tributes of
affection put In plaeffl of honor. Mrs. Me-
Klnley chatted with them about their home
affairs nnd Interests , but finally became
aware that her old servant was fidgeting with
the mysterious something under her apron ,
nnd asked , laughingly , "What have you got
In hiding there , Katie ? "
PRESERVES FOR THE MAJOR.
At this Klllo rose , a little red , and drew
forth from under her apron two goodly
sized jars , remarking. "Now , Miss MoKlnley ,
don't you get mad ; I don't want you should ;
but when 1 was puttln' up I sez to myself.
Now , there's Miss McKlnley ; I don't bleovo
that colored cook of hern knows n mite about
puttln' up ; likely enough they won't git
shelf-full , nnd the major that set on sauce as
he Is. So I brought Vm along for you to
tnsto nn. " and with this , Katie , redder and
finite defiant , deposited the big bottles In
Jlri MrKlnley's lap.
"Thu contents nro ns good as they look ,
I know , Katie , " said her former mlstiess.
and she added , with n mischievous smile at
a ceitnln weakness detected. "Don't you Im-
Hglne for a moment we could find a rook ,
black or white , to put up such preserves ns
yours. I shall keep these for my best com
pany. " At this Katie almost snorted with
satisfaction , and to conceal her sentiments
rose to retire. Just at this moment , seized
with n kindly thought , the gentle hostess
said to the small and silent Sammy :
"Wouldn't you like n McKlnley badge , my
dear ? "
The boy understood nothing except that
something was offered him , and , of course ,
piomptly assented. Now. It chanced that
Mrs. McKlnley's taper fingers fell upon a
badge made up of gorgeous ribbon and n
tiny photograph ot the famous candidate ,
but so badly tinted that the face was almost
black. This she proceeded to pin on the
unfledged republican , when ho suddenly
broke Into n howl of dismay. "I ain't goln'
to wear no nigger's picture ; I ain't , " and
with that he tore himself away. Everyone
ono laughed , excepting the palo mother ,
shocked with her offspring's rudeness , and
Mrs. McKlnluy , overcome that any human
being , however small , could object to the
picture of the major , however black H might
bo painted. For a moment a slight frown
contracted her fair forehead , then she Joined
In the general amusement , remarking : "I
shall send that badge back to the makers ,
with Sammy's criticism. "
BRING THE MAJOR ALONG.
A tin-plate badge , showing the major with
a beautiful cherry blossom complexion , was
brought forth and harmony restored , not ,
however , without Mrs. McKlnley'a remark
ing , sotto voce , to the Irrepressible Sammy ,
"I wouldn't say nigger if I were you ; there
Is no such word. "
Katie and Kitty and Sammy nnd Mlncrvle
now nroso to go In earnest ; Katie asking ,
with anxious hospitality : "When bo you
comln' to see us. Miss McKlnley ? "
"You know , Katie , I never go anywhere
without the major , " said her old mistress ,
a trlflo evasively , perhaps.
"La sakes , bring him right along. Don't
you s'pose we'd bo glad to see the major
most any tlmo. Why , ho wouldn't mind If
I took my hands out o' the suds to shake
with him. Well , now. It's past 2 , sun time ,
and the clothes Ml bo ready for Ironln' ,
and I guess wo bettor be movln' on , " and
with this Katie deliberately advanced and
Imprinted upon Mrs. McKinley's cheek a
hearty smack. Kittle followed with n
feebler edition of the same thing , and
Sammy and Mlnervle wound up by offering
their healthy red llus to bo kissed. Then
they filed out Into the hall and caught a
glimpse of the major hard at work. Katie
paused to remark , "Just run In a mlnlt
to see Miss ( McKlnley ; glad to see you
lookln' so smart , major , " and the major
glanced up with a smllo and his Inimitable
wave of the hand to respond , "That's right ,
Katlo ; wo always want you to look after
us. "
The front door closed on this little epl-
sOdo , which could only have occurred In
the ono country where master and man
acknowledge their common brotherhood.

The people have promptly ratified the official

Cant- on Trial ,
LINCOLN , Sept. IS. ( Special. ) The hear
ing of Judge Jefferson II. Ilroady's case was
commenced today before the secretary of
state. This Is an action Involving tiio valid
ity ot certain certificates of nomination for
congress from the First congressional dis
trict filed by Judge Hroady. In the three
certificates filed by him It Is set out that he
received the free silver democratic nomina
tion , the populist nomination and n nom
ination by what Is called the "fret ? silver"
party , all at Tcctimseh , Johnson county , Au
gust 11. Against the filing of two of these
certificates , the free silver document and the
populist certificate , II. M. Ilushnell , chair
man of the First district congressional com
mittee , filed a protest. The case was set
for a hearing today. Attorneys Ames and
Sterns appeared for Mr. Ilushnell nnd Judge
Tib hot Is and Judge Hroady appeared on be
half of the latter. Messrs. Ames and Sterns
offered to submit the cnso on the record ,
but Judge Hroady wanted to present proof
anil examine witnesses. The free silver cer-
tlflcato was not Insisted on and the hearing
so far Is on the merits of the alleged popu
list nomination by the so-called Joint con
vention nt Tecumseh. A point railed by the
Protestants was that no populist convention
joined with the democrats In the nomina
tion of Hroady. In support of this an affida
vit was filed by Mr. Ilushnell , sworn to by
J. C. Cummins , janitor of the Johnson county
court house , in which he states that the
populist convention convened at the courl
house nnd adjourned. He further alleges
that It did not acaln reconvene at Seaver's
opera house , the place where the free slher
democrats were In session. E. P. Ingersoll ,
chairman of the populist congressional dis
trict convention , was sworn. He testified In
direct conflict to this statement , saying that
the populist convention merely first met nt
the court house , took a recess and , without
any adjournment , reconvened nt the ( opera
house In Joint convention with the dem
ocrats , and assisted In the nomination of
Broady for congress. A copy of the record
of the joint convention was exhibited show
ing changes m.ide In the handwriting of
Judge Broady nnd admitted by him. It was
explained that these changes were made to
make the record correspond with the origi
nal minutes kept by the secretaries of the
con\cntlon. Secretaries Mary and Allen of
the joint convention corroborated the testi
mony of Mr. Ingersoll. The latter was a
trifle vague in his testimony and once or
twice talked of the "adjournment of the
democratic party. "
The evidence having been nearly all sub
mitted , It yas agreed to postpone argument
for the present and the case was adjourned
until 9 o'clock Monday morning , when argu
ment for both sides will be presented.
FRBB SILVER MEN FEEL , GLOOMY.
The great republican victory In Maine was
hailed with delight by all sound money citi
zens of Lincoln regardless of party ties. The
over-confident had estamated the probable
result at 30,000 , but when thu news came
over the wires It was hailed with delight.
The fact that the homo of the free sliver
democratic vlco presidential candidate had
given the largest majority known in Its his
tory seemed too good to bo true. The coun
tenances of all free sliver advocates In Lin
coln today wear a look of Intense gloom.
The general verdict In the Ilryan ranks Is
that Maine is the home of plutocracy and the
"people's causo" has no fair show there.
Chairman Post of the republican state cen
tral committee expressed himself as greatly
pleased and not a little surprised over the
great victory. Ho expressed the sentiment
that Indications pointed to a conclusion that
Bryan will be as badly defeated as was
Horace Greeley In 1872 , Tills belief is now-
shared by Lincoln sound money men gener
ally.
Certificates of nomination for office wore
filed today with Secretary of State Piper as
follows : Samuel Maxwell , for congressman
from the Third district , people's party nomi
nation ; George W.Voodby , for congressman
from the Second district , national party nom
ination ; Hampton E. George , for congiess-
man from the First district , national party
nomination.

afternoon the boys went to work on the guns
and caUsons and soon had them In first-
class shape , ready for the closest Inspec
tion , This morning the magnificent band of
the Twenty-second Infantry , U. S. A. , ar
rived on the ground and added considerable
to the attractions of camp life. The
weather broke threateningly , but so far to
day no rain fell. Throughout the day the
scene was one of activity. The grounds are
much moro passable and the number of
visitors has consequently Increased. Prom
the four companies of regulars on thu
giounds tlio guards received a practical les
son In campaigning. So far the discipline
of the camp has been excellent , only three
National Guards and ono regular uoldior
having been assigned places In the guard
house. The guardsmen Indulged In a ftght
and the regular was punished for a breach of
discipline In not promptly obeying an order.

BENKELMAN , Neb ! , Sept. 15. ( Special. )
Judge Norrls adjourned district court litre
at a Into hour this evening. He has gcno
over considerable business , which consumed
the entlro week. The most Important case
In this term of court was that of Bond and
Van Busklrk against the B. .t M. for dam-
aies. Charles P. Van Busklrk and Maud
Bond were Instantly killed by passenger
train No. 3 at the railroad dossing three
miles cast of hero on the night of December
2S. 1S95 , and the plaintiffs asked damages
In the sum of $5,000 each. The jury was
out almost twenty-four hours and finally
brought In a verdict assessing damages at
$1,500 for each.
Charges are openly made of the Influenc
ing of the jurors by the pass holders of the
11. & M. here , and It Is Intimated pretty
sttongly that certain parties here who are
favorites , supplied with free transportation ,
exercised their Influence and acted as go-
betweens for the corporation. The fact that
the Jury was permitted to go around during
the trial free and unguarded leaves room
for suspicion. . . *

Because of the economy there is in buying it.
Because of its low price. It's the kind the rich
men chew because of its high grade , and the kind
the poor men can afford to chew because of its
great size.
A 5-cent piece of " Battle Ax " is almost twice
the size of the JO-cent piece of other high grade
