He baa long been considered ope of the leading lawyer of the middle west He has served a term in congress .and has also been commissioner of pensions.

McGulre, Oklaho ma's new delegate to congress, waa not only one of tho nerviest cowboys and broncho busters on the plains before he became a lawyer, but In his early days be made a reputation also as a wrestler which still sticks. There would not be tnach difficulty now In persuading him to participate in a bout provided it could be done so secretly as not to in terfere with tho dignity essential to his eongresstonfal position. In 1884, when young MoGulre was a student ot tho State Normal at Empo ria, Kan., he was In the height of bis athletic glory. Ho could throw and outbox everybody In school, including bis roommate, the now governor of Ok lahoma, the Hon. Tom B. Ferguson. He practiced this sport for several years after he left school and soon be came known as the best man In Chau tauqua county and In all southeastern Kansas. In 1880 McGulre met and defeated at the county fair at Sedan, Kan., a pro fessional wrestler of tho name of Web er. - McGulre acquired great fame from this encounter and afterward received challenges from professionals through' out the land. Tho notoriety of it im pelled hlro to give up wrestling. Optimistic Mr. Cockron. W. Bourke Cockran, the famous Irish- American lawyer and orator, has re cently returned to his home in New York from an extended visit to Ireland and England. In an interview the oth er day Mr. Cockran gave expression to the most optimistic opinions regarding the future of Ireland. "Ireland is saved to the Irish," said he. "An era of pros perity is about to set In following the . . W. fiOCBEVB OOOKBAM. passage of the Irish lund bill by parlia ment that will pat tne "oia sod' wnere It has belonged for years." Tho hill referred to by Mr. Cockran was Introduced by King Edward him- self, and tt la thought that the Influence of tho brilliant Irish-American visitor qpon those high In English counsels hod Something to do with the adoption of . the measure. While enthusiastic over the benefits which will accrue to the. Irish people through tbe new land bill, Mr. Cockran modestly denies that he had a share In securing Its adoption. : David WllcoK, the railway magnate and lawyer, ha always been noted tot hla urbanity, and from' time to time he Indulges himself and hi colleagues in a little philosophizing on tho value of tho "smile that won't come off." - like other big railway presidents, ho baa a pass over the Mew. York elevated system. While entering through the Fifty-eighth street station recently a companion noticed that he lightly touch ed the brim of his hat and nodded In hi wonted smiling wny to the gateman. , "Tour smile seems as Irresistible with ticket choppers aa It Is with rail road directors, and aa it used to be With Juries," observed a friend, t. "Let me toll you," was the reply, "that I'd have to show my pas to that gateman every time I went by if 1 didn't offer tho salute. And it is a safe rule of life give a man a smile and be much leas inclined to give yon th Taiha.'" . OAOTOntA Bvuithi Tin Kind Yw Haw Him ta. fM.mmlm.i RALEIGH. New Mali Wagon Service.

Copious rain hay fallen in all this section of North Carolina and will no doubt be very beneficial to crops. John W Thompson of this city hu returned from Florida where he attend ed the convention of turpentine opera tors at Jacksonville. He jtay . a great many of those present were natives of North Carolina. Mr Covington former ly of Monroe, presided, and J A Hollo man formerly of Wake, now editor of a leading Florida paper is secretary. Mr Thompson says he sold a $28,000 turpen tine and creosote plant at Waycross and that the plant which his company built at McBee, S'C, as an experiment, will be probably enlarged. Mr Thompson saw ex-sherlff Munger of Moore county, In Florida, where he Is a travelling man and doing well. The Supreme Court allows the peti tion for a new trial In the case of Mc Neill against the railway, this being the case in which the court at lut term held that a man who was riding free could not sue a railway for negligence, Tbe case comes up from Moore county and will be argued among the seventh dis trict appeals.

The governor is absent and private secretary Pearsall notified the commandant of Fort Caswell the mayor of Wilmington and the com manding officers of the Wilmington na val reserves. James H Pou who has returned from a three weeks visit to New York and vicinity says there is now far more talk in the North about politics than there la here. He says he Is willing to bet any amount that the Low administration will be beaten in New York. He says it Is entirely plain that If the Democrats would vote for Cleveland they could easily elect him and defeat Roosevelt, but he does not believe they will vote for Cleveland. The independents In New York and elsewhere are saying very plainly that If tbe Democrats put up Cleveland they can win, but as Mr Pou says "Our people it seems would rather be beaten than vote for Cleveland, It looks like Gorman will be the nominee. It will be several days before the audi tor will know the total member of pen sioners uader'the new application. Hel will give out the ngures ana also snow thelncrease.
