TIE wALkUP CASE.

Although the interest In the Waikup
case still maintains its place as the lead
ing topic OF discussion, the excitement
has somewhat abated and other matters
are beginning to receive their due pro-
portion of consideration. Little that is
new is heard on the street to-day, and
conversations In reference to the Walkup
case have been confined to facts
recently developed. There have
been two rumors on the streets to-day
in reference to Mrs. Walkup's imprison-
ment, one to the effect that she remained
with the sheriff's family with all the
privileges granted her from the date of
her removal from the WaIkup residence.
Another rumor had 1t that she had been
locked up in the room upstairs recently
retitted and prepared for her, and
which until last evening was
used as her wardrobe. Sheriff White
aftirms that the latter report is
correct and that Mrs. Walkup now
occupies the strong room described fully
in recent issue OF this paper. Notwith-
standing the fact that the advances made
in the case within the past few days
have been very detrimental to the young
woman, she continues to manifest her
Characteristic bearing of confidence and
GOODNESS. Mrs. Walkup's lawyers are
busily engaged preparing for the trial
and strong defense will be presented
Mrs. Wallace having satisfied herseli
with knowledge of the circumstances
which surrounds her daughter, is max
ing her arrangements TO start to New
Orleans, and take with her William
Willis. the boy who was locked In jai
on suspicion of being an accomplice il
the affair. Z. Finley and Judge Hous
ton will remain until after the prelimin
airy trial next Monday morning.

O sudden squat, the other night, says
the New York Herald, and compelled
to stop over at one of the small hotels
at Rockaway beach. One of them,
late arrival, was greatly exercised over
the discomforts of the place, and COM
planned bitterly about the lack of ele-
gance in the fittings and the made
ouacy of the menu to satisfy a refined
palate. A member of fishing club.

" gave up his room to the foreigner,
and shared the bed of one of his
companions. But in vacating the
apartment he left behind his fishing
tackle and basketful of the crabs he
had caught.
The Frenchman sought the chamber
rather late, and retired at once. Dur
ing the night he awoke, and fancied
he heard noise that was not the muir
muir of the surf on the beach beneath
his window. He sat up and listened.
Yes. He was sure of it then. A
strange, scratching sound In mo-
ment he was out of his bed, for 1t came
from the floor underneath his feet, and
from different parts of it, too. In
fright he CROPPED for his matches and
struck light Then with a yell he
made for the door. The basket in the
corner had tilted over and released the
crabs, which were struggling about al
over. In the gloom the frightened for
eipner could hardly make out the ap
pearance of the misshapen creatures
and he never stopped to investigate

and dancing. 81 can't help II, sir; !

But don't exult over thy seniors who
have not found the elixir of life and are
growing old and past their usefulness

am tired, and a pile of unanswered let.
ters are before me this morning, so
can only say: God bless thee. Ever thy

The Chicago Tribune says: In pur-
suance Of q custom which has prevailed
tor several years. Senator John Sherman
yesterday opened the Ohio campaign in
. formal speech. There Is hardly an
other man in the country who has had
such an extended experience IN public
life as Senator Sherman. He was q
prominent member of congress before
the war, and first became noted for the
active part he took in the Kansas Ne
braskA struggle. Since then he has beer
in continual service either In congress OF
In the cabinet, and this long experience
has qualified him TO rank as an authority
on many Of the most intricate questions
of governmental policy. His utterance
on public questions command great re
spect even. from those who dispute hi
conclusions In whole or in part.
