a coil of rope lyiiifr in 'he bottom of the

Tie tho rope to the after thwart and
give a aurU'M of jerk" iu a direction par

to move forward, lowly indeed, bnt

Tho tug on the rope contract the length
of tho boat and make it (ride bnlge

and in o doing there ' i a pnxh of the

on the wholo, with each jerk there ia
a alight pmgremi forward. By continu

boat may be brought to shore. A speed
of two or three utile per hour can be
obtained by this means. Try the experi

St Louis, Mo. The first day's ses
sion of tbe Populist national conven
tion was not marked by any unnsual
occurrences. Permanent organization
was effected, and Senator Butler, who
had been chosen as temporary chairman
by tbe national oommittee, was seated.
He addressed the convention, and in
the oonrse of bis remarks said he fa
vored a plan to harmonise the foroea of
free silver by adopting a Populist plat
form and nominating upon it Bryan,
with a Southern Populist for vice-
president His speech strongly upheld
the demand for the perpetuation of the ,
Populist organizaiton, which he de
scribed as having driven the Repub
licans to gold and the Democrats to
silver. To be swallowed np by the
Democrats, be said, was a danger only j
equaled by the danger of being made
the direct allies of the Republicans in
the present campaign. Ignatius Don-
nelly made a middle-of-the-road speech
in reply to Governor Stone's address of
welcome. There was no night session,
owing to an accident which destroyed

resulted in a roll-call of the states being
ordered upon tbe question as to whether

be made prior to that of president, and

to give the vioe-presidential nomina

Tbe visitors, who represents great

Thenoe they go to Portland for a day,
