CHIEF MURPaY's LITTLE JOKE.
Charley Dayton WAS the Victim and It
Broke Him All Up.

Charley Dayton Was the Victim and It
Broke Him All Up.
It is seldom that Chief of Police
Murphy, whose Intricate and important
duties of necessity give TO his well
trained mind sincere and practical bent.
condescends to countenancing the perpe-
tration Of a practical joke. But the most
practical mind, says 8 we'll known
writer, is just the one that can thoroughly
appreciate a real good joke.
Charley Dayton is one of the hondsom-
est as well as one of the most generous
hearted newspaper reporters in the city
Charley was recently bounced from a
journal printed for private circulation for
doing what any 1--we newspaper reporter
is expected TO do. His misfortune was
the result of a mistake on the part Of a
city employe in footing up the returns in
the recent election.
Had the clerk been correct in the addi-
ton Charley would have scored brilliant
beat on his rivals in the journalistic pro-
fession. He is now representing the As
sociated Press of New York Charley
was great favorite with Chief Of Police
Murphy. Charley is a favorite with
all the girls Of note in the city.
A few nights ago Chief Murphy was
hurrying from his home on Fourth street
to Police Headquarters. He espied
Charley sanntering leisurely along
ahead or him, sandwlched in between two
of the lovliest and sweetest OF the girls
who reside in certain aristocraric por-
ton of the city.
What was it that possessed the prac-
tical Chief of the Police Department.
Certain it could be nothing but feeling
OF friendship borne of long acquainf-
ance with one OF the brightest reporters
that sought a story at the threshold of his
sanctum. Yet for several days he PLAYED
havoc with s'Charley's" aspirations.
Approaching him and giving him a
quiet tap on the shoulder, the Chief re-
married. Charley, excuse me, but your
wife asked me TO inform you that she
was waiting on the corner below
s'My--Ini-wifel' exclaimed the hand
some Charley in amazement "Oh ex-
cuse me, Chief, / see it's all joke, said
Charley, with q reassuring smile.
But the girls didn't think it q joke.
They looked at the Chief They knew
the Chief. Then they looked at Charley.
They thought they knew Charley.
Then. like two frightened deer, they
skipped off with the grace and speed OF
gazelles, and it was several days before
Charley" could explain it was but a
practical joke put up on him BY Chief Of

PECULIAR OFFER.
Vandalia Has an Unusual Offer
From Saloon Men.

The City Council will meet in
special session Saturday night to
pass upon an application for a dram
shop. They will be met with a
unique proposition. The appli-
cants offer to give bond to the city
in any sum they may require, sign
ed by men Of unquestioned solven-
cy, obllgating themselves to build
and maintain free of any cost to the
tax payers, an electric light plant,
and place five arc lights in the
public square; and they further
agree to keep the public well en-.
gine running free OF cost when it is
desired. That electric light would
be a great boom for our city, all
admit. The granting of a saloon
license is a question that deserves
thought and study. The local op.
ton law was admitted a failure; it
did not stop the sale of whisky; no
effort, or no pretense of an effort,
has been made to enforce the drug
law, and..whisky has been sold here

T. asex1co Mining and Manu-
featuring Coupany-A Good
Organization.

The Mexico Mining and Manu-.
featuring Company was organized
1887 with a paid up capital of
$4,000. It's officers are Rufus
Hisey, president; J. c. Bassford,
vice-president; A. c. Barnes, Sec
retary; J. F. Llewellyn, treasurer.
The above gentlemen, with II. A.
Ricketts, and c. F. Clark, compose
the Board.
The company has expended al
together, in sinking well and in
litigations that followed, about
S., 500, leaving surplus of 81, 800.
This statement is made from the
tact that several OF the stockhold-
ers have been making a ''stub born
kick to know who the Of
fcers are, and as to where the
money has gone. There seems to
be mistake prevalent among
some of the stockholders as to
what amount has been expended
and for what cause.
This company was organized for
the purpose of aiding any and all
manufacturing establishments that
wished or desired to come to this
city. The books are always open
for inspection to any of the stock
holders in the company, and those
who have any doubts as to the cor.
rectness of the books are invited to
make an inspection for themselves.

case as serious, his death was
quite unexpected. He was born
October 10, 1917, in Fleming coun-

settling near Concord, where both
his parents are buried. He engag-

Almost in the exact geographical
center of Wyoming is mountain
of solid hematite iron ore, with 600
feet of it above ground, more than
a mile wide, and over two miles in
length. Besides the iron, the
mountain contains a bed of Ignite
coal large enough to warm the entire
world for a century, a dozen dried
up lakes of soda, where the soda
is deposited to depth of over 800
feet, some of the lakes being over
600 acres in extent. In a noun

Out of some of the springs pure

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
It's Principles Almost ldenti-
cal With Democracy.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

The principles OF the Farmers
Alliance, stated in the synopsis Of
its platform made by President
Polk, are nearly every one Demo-
cratic or deducible from Demo.
cratic precedents. Here they are:
GA bi-metallic currency with free
coinage of silver and gold on an
equal basis (Democratic); the issue
of all government currency direct
to the people (Democraticl; equali-
zatlon of taxes (Democratic); pro-
hibition of alien ownership of land
Democratic if done by the State);
ownership and control oftransporta-
tion lines by the government (super-
vising control Democratic; owner
ship un- -Democratic); limit of pub
lie revenues to the necessary expen.
ses of government (Democratic);
graduated taxation of income
| democratic if necessary and the
election of United States Senators
by direct vote ofthe people Demo
cratic)." The only proposition
seriously out ofline with Democra-
cy in this whole list is the minor
one of government ownership OF
railroads. Democrats are afraid
for the government to own the rail
roads, lest it should use that i'm.
mense patronage to control the peo.
pie. They want supervision oi
railroads, and they are getting 1t to
! such AZ extent that the average
railroad tariff per mile has bee:l -
! mensely reduce al me last q
years "a period during which the
/ government tariff has steadily
advanced. The railroad fight is
virtually won already, as railroad
rates, If too high, can be lowered
by the peoples action. The great
struggle for reform in taxation ano
the management of the currency
has just begun, and the Democratic
movement and farmer movement
are identical in their relation to it
1t is possible to grow double the
quantity of wheat in this country
that is now produced. The time
will come when a smaller area o
, land will be used and larger crops
grown per acre. AS the farm be
comes restricted in area more ap
propriate fertilizers will be appli
ed. Farmers are rapidly learning
the fact that different kind of crop
, require different foods, and saving
of expense by the use of specia
crop fertilizers will be anothe
source of gain.
