Congressman John L. Heard Selves Away
the Secret of His Success.
st. louis Post Dispatch.
Congressman John e. Heard, of Sedalia, who
is credited with being one of the most successful
of Missourls national representatives in obtain
ing federal appointments for his constituency
speaking to q Post-Dlspatch reporter who had
requested him to indorse his application for a
consulate, said
Now, see here, my friend; let me tell you
something that will let in ray of light on the
manner in which majority of the appointments
are made. In applications for the minor posi-
tons in any of the departments the only in
dorsement necessary is that of the representa-
tive of the district from which the applicant
halls. OF course, a long string of mayors, colo
nels, judges and other prominent men of the
State tackled en- to the petition will not hurt
in the least bit; at the same time
it will not do the least particle of good
if the of the congressman is omit
ted. For instance, several weeks ago handed
Mr. Villas a list of the names of young men re.
siding in my district who desire positions in the
railway mail service, placing the name of the
most deserving at the top of the list They had
no other Endorsement but mine and did not need
any AS soon as a vacancy occurs in that
branch of service to which they aspire they are
appointed, preference being given to them in
the order in which their names appear the list.
it is a simple business transaction, and runs
very much upon business principles. The de-
partment understands that a congressman would
recommend no who is incompetent, and the
Endorsements of half hundred more prominent
citizens are very little assistance"

The Rogers Murder Trial.

gpecial TO the Indiailapo1is Journal
COLUMBUS. May 25.-The case Of LAMA
Rogers for the murder of Henry Brehm, is on
trial in the Circuit Court to-day, and attracts a
large number of spectators. Old man Brehm
died of poison, some six weeks ago, but whether
it was taken by mistake, with suicidal intent
or given for the purpose of murder, is a ques-
tor. He lived alone but Miss Rogers, girl of
loose morals occupied a room in his house. The
ease creates much interest, but the pretty pris-
oner, for she is decidedly handsome, appears as
little concerned any one as she sits jauntiy
beside her attorney or poses on the witness
stand, and slibly answers all questions. There
is a strong chain of circumstantial evidence
woven around her, but scarcely enough to con
Wet, and it is the general impression that she
will be acquitted.
