mother dres<. AnnIyxlne thio' wheel in politics, he found [ repub lican hub, republican spokes, repub. lican felloes, mad very th,n tire Of democracy. This analysis brought the house down in storm of ap plausc. The ssto do" which this wheel was making in politics re- minded him of the old mans load of hay which had capsized on him. His son was hollowing and CT, ing at n terrible rate when some neighbors came up and consoled him and told him not to take on that the wagon would be righted by and by. But says the boy: dads under the hay" This, the speaker said, was what was the matter with the wbeel-the re- publican party was underneath, and was paving dirt to get out, if possi bic. The position of the democrats in the wheel fighting the democracy, he illustrated by the fable in which the man was found blowing hot substance to cool and blowing cold substance to warm it, in other words blowing hot and cold out of tho same mouth. What do you think of the man who, while he is protesting friendship for you, is stabbing you in the back with all his vengeance. ]" This is the case with the wheel dem ocrat, who while he professes to be democrat, is fighting democracy with all the venom of republican. What more can republican do than fight democracy and democrat who fights democracy, how does he differ from republican in the same busi- ness? In regard to the railroad question he said if he was elected he would carry bill in his pokcet to Little Rock to reduce freight and passenger rates to such low figure as to absolutely forbid these abomi nsble discriminations. He agreed with his opponent in matters referred to by him. As touching the temper ance question he was emphatically in favor of keeping all the legisla tion we have on this question and getting all we could. In response to a question as to whether he was in favor of maintaining and perpetual ing the three mile and local option laws now on the statute books he answered most emphatically in the affirmative. MT. Sibley rose at this point and desired to state that he was heartily Tn favor of maintaining and perpetuating the status of our present legislation on tue temper. ance question.
 After passing very high com pliment to the ladies present Mr. Eggleston took his seat.
 The utmost good feeling and the best possible understanding between the candidates held all through the discussion. Not jar, or discord. The entire absence ofs1Ipn one sylla- lable in the direction o(&crimony or mud-slinging was noted with pleas ure, and both candidates express a determination to keep it thus to the end.
 Thus opened the canvass for repre- sentative from Pope on the 24th of June, and end which way it may, a man with clean hands and solid in tegrity, will stand at the head of the democratic column in the race for representative after the choice of the county democracy has been made.

QUITE MYSTERIOUS.
Jacob NEicheI's Friends Confident
He Is Still Alive.

kze Is SUN AEIVGs
The theory advanced in Yesterdays
GLOBE that Jacob Michel, who leaped from
a boat into Lake Calhoun. was not drowned
was very generally accepted yesterday.
That portion of the lake has been thor
Oughly dragged and every explosive device
exhausted without finding the body, and
those conversant with such business are of
opinion that the body. if in the lake, would
have come to light. Mr. Michel, the father
of the young man, and Paul Schmedemann,
who knew him well, are both of the opin-
ion he is still alive, and at all events will
not believe in his death until they see the
corpse. Inquiry at Calhoun yesterday de-
VelOped the TACT that when Michel got the
boat he shook hands with Moon and KIM
ball, saying he might never see them again.
A few moments later he explained this bv
saying he had been appointed revenue
agent and was going to Kentucky to hunt
moonshiners, and the chances were against
his returning alive. 1t has also developed that
he was addicted to the morphine habit to a
considerable extent and his mind was more
or less unsettled. He even used the NOR
phine when being shaved, injecting it into
his arms. The mysterious part of the affair
is how he managed. if alive. to escape and
get into the woods without having been OBJ
served. That part OF the lake forms bay
or indentation OH the West SIDE and it is
possible that the boat may have screened
him sufficiently to permit of his escape
For the present the search has been given
up, and his relatives and friends will not be
surprised if he should walk in upon them
at any moment.
Mr.. Michel last night offered reward of
5000 for any information of his sons body
or Whereabouts.

HIS HEART BROKEN
Because He Couldn't Keep Saloon,
and Killed Himself.

Some men employed by the street COM
missioner early yesterday afternoon dis
covered the lifeless body of Bernhart
Fitting. a saloonkeeper. suspended from "a
beam in a barn in the rear OF his residence,
at 1901 Marshall stree6 northeast.
He was missed by his family
Tuesday evening, and from appearances
it is Surmised that some time during the
night he threw the rope over the beam, and
adjusted a moose around his neck and
kicked away the barrel upon which he
had stood. Death by strangulation ensued
as a matter of course. The deceased was
German, H years old and leaves wife and
eight children in fairly comfortable crcum-
stances. When the city council extended
the patrol limits Fitting obtained
license to sell liquor Oh his
premises. Mayor AmeS, however, vetoed
the ordinance extending the limits. and re-
voked the license. The money was re-
funded by the council, but because he
couldn't keep saloon, it is thought Fitting
committed suicide. Coroner Hill viewed
the remains. and decided an inquest would
be unnecessary. as the man undoubtedly
took his own life

Sullivan lost his life at the Washburn B
mill. William Betters testified that he re-
celved orders to switch five cars on the
track nearest the mill, and that afterwards
he was told to put four cars on the middle
track and two on an inside track. He did
not witness the accident, being on the
Tenth avenue bridge. George Cutter, who
helped Betters in switching, testified that
the five cars could have been pulled up with
the brakes set, but it was not GUS
Iomary to do so. Ole Larson, employed
in the mill. said he was on one side of the
plank and Sullivan On the other when the
cars struck Sullivan. Two other witnesses
testified that they saw the cars, but did not
see any brakeman on them. The jury re-
turned verdict to the effect that the cause
of death was accidental. The funeral of
the deceased took place at 231S Eighth
street south yesterday afternoon.

Dive. Cannot BE Found.
In the district court yesterday morning,
before Judge Young, Ida Dorsey, the
mulattO woman charged with keeping a
house of ill-fame at 125 Second street
south. appeared with numerous friends and
the trial began. There were fourteen wit
nesses for the state sworn, all of whom tes-
tilted to the bad reputation of the place.
One OF the principal witnesses,
Fred Sanders, sWore that he
could not remember all that took
place at the house The evening he was
there. Officer Sandy" Kennedy acknowl-
edged that he had seen the can-can danced
at the place, but blushed like girl when
asked to describe the dance,
''Oh, now, sure and yees wouldn't be
askln' an old mon lOike me to tell yees
wat koind of dance it is" said Mike. as
he twisted uneasily in his chair, and his
round face became almost purple with sup
pressed laughter. On being urged the Of
ficer described the can-can in a lurid and
at the same time ludicrouS manner, while
suppressed laughter sounded through the
room. That the place was an immoral one
was proved to a certainty, but when the
question turned as to who was the keeper,
the problem became knotty one. When
Miss Dorsey was placed on the stand she
swore she was not the keeper. Her duties
were to keep the books and see that things
ran smoothly. All the inmates of the
house declared that ''Nfiss Mollie'' was the
keeper, and that Miss Dorsey had nothing
to do with it. To almost every question
that was asked the response Miss Mollie''
was sure to be returned, and it seemed to
please the audience greatly. Deputy Sher-
itf Baxter now and then brought his gavel
down with resounding thump, but his
face was far from straight. Just who
Miss Mollie" is is not definitely known,
but the inmates say she is a big, dark wo-
man, and that she fled to Chicago just after
an evening paper wrote up her place. The
case will be continued to-day.
