Three or four years ago young

spent about $4,000, and didn't dare
ask for more money. So he wired overt to
the governor that he had a great chance
to get some new attractions for the
show, He sald that he could get two
monkeys that were larger than horses
for $4,000. The governor congratulated
himself on having spch a smart boy,
and cabled him the money. He was

Of the mayors court last week appears the
arrest of Arthur Webb, Sarah E. Webb,
his wife. and Anna Ansel, his stepdaugh-
ter, on charge of cruel and inhuman
treatment of child in the family. The
case against the father and stepmother
was dismissed, but the girl Anna was con-
victed aud sentenced to thirty days in Jail,
but sentence was suspended, owing to her
being in delicate condition The child
was in court and showed many marks OF
abuse. After the trial she was left among
the human hyenas, and il afforded an OPP
portunity for the women of carrying their
threats of taking the little ones lifa into
execution.
Beat the Little One to Death.
On Friday evening the child was given
a beating by one of the women and soon
after became insensible and died Sunday
morning Coroner Bennett was at once
notified and proceeded with the inquest.
An autopsy was held by physicians, who
found that death was caused by the blows

death was the result of severe and inhu-

IT WAS JUST THE OTHER WAY.

Jay Gould's Opinl on of the Fire in the
Western MON Building.
NEW YoRY, July 22-For the first time
since the fire of Friday Jay Gould was
yesterday morning at his offices on the
third floor of the Western Union build
ing. mo" said he to United Press re-
porter, II was not connected with the
company when this building was erected,
but believe it was understood to be as
nearly Lre-proof as it was possible to
make it. The floors, walls and stairways
are all indestructible. 1t must
be said. however, in view of the probable
origin of the fire, that had it broken out
at any other time IL would almost certain
ly have been exiting uished at once.
The Fires Best Opportunity.
"The men usually on hand at the point
where the fire began Friday morning
were not there at that time to check the
spread of the flames, which were not dis
covered until they had made some head
way. Thus, instead of saying
that at any other hour the fire would
have probably caused great loss of life, it
is doubtless proper to say that at any
other hour the Western Union building
would not have been destroyed
VIII Make T. Safe Next Time.
"As to the means of egress," continued
Mr.. Gould, I'VE believed that they were
sufficient for any demand that was likely
to be made upon them. 1t is possible,
however. that loss of life might have re-
suited from a panic in crowded build
ing. We fortunately escaped that, and
now nothing will De omitted in the new
arrangements which are to be made here
that can possibly add to the safety of the
building and the pc rsons who are daily at
work here

The nomination of W. F. Crawford
for state senator by the republicans last
week was mistake, If we are to believe
what we read and hear of the man. The
republicans have the choice of who shall
be state senator. and in making their
choice they should take no man because
of bargain unless he be fitted-and
well fitted toto fill the position with
honor to the party and his constituency
In opposing the nomination of Mr.. Craw-
ford in the recent convention we believe
that the opposition of the Henry county
delegates came from the conviction that
he WAS not the man for the position. He
has opposition in Rock Island county
as well as in Henry, and honest oppOsi,
ton. The mistake was due TO too strict
observance of political agreement. 1t is
TO be regretted that the Henry county
delegates lacked the necessary strength to
nominate better qualified man for the
important position of state senator, but
the misstep was made by the Rock Island
brethren. orion Times.

WASHINGTON CITY, July GA special

The town of Pocahontas was thrown into
a fever of excitement Sunday evening
when party of men from Mcdowell
county, West Virginia, rode into the place
and began firing their guns promiscously
in the streets. The town sergeant sum-
moned posse and attempted to arrest
them, when the invaders opened fire on
them, wounding several of the sergeant's
force. After quite battle the officers
succeeded in arresting two of the mob
and lodged them in Jail. The rest of them
escaped by riding over the state line
The Military Ordered Ont.
Later in the evening the rumor was cur

rescue the prisoners, and much excite

no such attempt had been made, but the
