27. Mrs. KEENAN, had been ill tor
some time, in fact had not had good
health since her daughter died SO ne

A WHiTE-6OMNEG WOMAN
a spectral Figure That Haunt, the
chicago and Alton Railroad.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Demoera,

~ INC NflpuS Democrat
MENIco, Mo-, Nov. 26.-At Lad.
donla, a village east of here, in thi.
county, a vertiable ghost is said te
have been roaming around at the
dead hour of night. City Marsha,
Ed. Flynn lives alone in a small,
house near the switch-light at the
crossing of the Chicago and Alton
Railroad with the dirt road in the
western limits of the town. EIvpn
hrst claimed to have e the appar.
ition some weeks ago, one night,
shortly before midnight, when the
form OF a woman, clad in a long.
loose gown, was seen fitting around
the swltch-light. The figure disap.
peared with the passing of the Chi
cago and Alton fast train. After
that he saw the strange visitation
frequently, always at about the same
hour.
Wednesday night Luther Moss,
Cy Landrum, Lou Clark and a num-
Der OF other reputable citizens agreed
to accompany Flynn to his residence
and keep watch for the apparition.
Promptly at Ills it made its ap-
pearance, Just as Flynn said it
would, and the party of watchers
fired twenty or thirty shots at the
fitting form. The thing continued
to move about in space and to flour
ish a torch it carried, which emitted
a strange blush light, all the while
making threatening gestures toward
the crowd. Half the population of
the village was awake by this time,
and many came out to ascertain the
cause of the shooting. The Chicago
and Alton "hummer'' was now
about due, and a glance up the track
west revealed the headlight of the
fast train on its way to Chicago. The
apparition was still fitting about the
switch-light-now on the track then
off in the prairie. AS the ''hummer"
passed the noted spot more than 100
people were amazed to see the long
gowned white-clad female figure in
stantly arise to the top of the rear
coach of the swiftly moving train
and, in the crisp night air, leave
that section at a fifty mile-an hour
gait.
Conductors Bob Dunsmore, Frank
Stevens, Jake Fell and other railroad
men say that at times the strange
light at the switch has been noticed
and talked Of. Several trains have
come TO a standstill there, the en-
gineers thinking they had been sig
nailed to stop.

CATIONS. About 600 ernest enthusiastic
advocates OF the Peoples party priilci-
pies were gathered together to place
i'll nomination for the supreme Dencn
a man close to the hearts OF the people
and opposed to the railroad subservancy
of Post and Norval. These 600 men
were not of the kid-gloved politician
style that makes up Republican con-
ventions. They did not come there
bought body and soul by some political
schemer who had his nomination as
surcd before the convention met No,
this convention was made up from the
horny handed sons Of toll. Men from
the farm and the shop. Men who,
realizing the fragrant abuse that has
characterized the state house Rcpub-
lican ring and the judicial bench. were
filled with the patriotic desire of cor
recting those abuses by knocking out
the ring and electing Il man OF the
people. They were not united on any
particular man when they went there,
but on the principles for which they
stood they were as one man. They knew
! what they were there for and no man
was their master.

Worth Considering.

Is it not time for working men to
consider why they should pay enormous
salaries to their public servants in Of
flee? Salaries in all the higher pursuits
are out of proportion to the pay Of
hand-wOrkers. Why should they be
any higher? If congressman received
five dollars day for actual attendance,
with mileage. as they used to do. does
any man in his senses think We should
not find able representatives.? II every
salary were cut down in proportion,
there would still be a host to fill the
offices. The expenses Of living have
come down for half a century. Salaries
for the soft places have been going
steadily up faster than wages. Thus
the degradation Of labor is pointed
by it's inferior pay. Clerical aud off
cial classes grow up who esteem them
selves and their families as so superior
to the wOrkingman that social compan-
ionship ceases. Such state Of things
cannot last. Justice is the only sure
basis of society. Equity requires that
every honest service should be equally
rewarded. If the service is especially
hard or dangerous, it should be held in
the highest honor. We have reversed
the rule. except as to the soldier 1t
is time to demand that wages 50 up,
or salaries come down.-EX.
