KnOCk-dOWn Argument.

AuOCh-uOWu ArSuluouI'
There died last week in Geary county a
farmer who left about $4,000. He owned
over LOO acres of land with an elegant
stone house, slot Of cattle and some bank
stock. He did not owe dollar. He al
ways had money in the bank. He never
did anything but farm. He arrived at Fort
Riley about thirty-fve years ago afoot and
without money enough to buy a supper.
He was always at work and he always had @
crop of something. He never was known
to stand on the corner and discuss "fee-
nance" He took no hand in regulating
the national treasury. He never went
around bswling about the amount Of 'peH
capiter." He took no interest in the free
coinage Of silyer. Henever was alarmed OF
interrupted one moment by the "Sever
Conspiracies." He voted the republican
ticket quietly and persistently, and de-
parted this life in the hope Of a blessed
immortality City Star.
Uml Ahl Well, yes! Landed at For
Riley about thirty-fve years ago. Thst
was in 1858. Owned 1,1O0 acres Of land
q lot OF cattle and some bank stock.
"Worth $70OOO." What a nice little
story that is. What rebuke it is to the
crazy Populists, who persist in discuss
ing 'feenance," and "per capiter," snC
stree coinage" who claim that farming
doesn't pay in Kansas. Yet here was I
man who never did anything but farm
worth $4,000. Oh yes, he had "som'

friend, Peter P. Elder, alludes to the
Doodle and money promised and used in
the dreadful corruption Of the Caldwell
and Carney senatorial election OF 1871,
which, he says, never had an equal in
disgrace outside Of Ohio or Pennsy lvania.
Yes, it has had many equals in senator
isl elections in Kansas. He needn't go
outside Of the state for parallel. Why
won't the governor give US q detailed
account Of that notable episode in the
history Of the stste-whether the event
was opened with religious exercises and
whether members proceeded to discharge
their duty with a prayerful consideration
Of the great responsibility resting upon
them, and carried themselves accord
ingly. Such an account, by one who
was witness Of all that transpired and

but would carry sadness and sorrow to
the heart of every friend Of good morals
and every we'll Wisher Of the republic.
Still is necessary for the welfare Of
society, just as dissgreeable remedies are
often necessary to the health and better
ment Of the physical man.
And in default of the governor enter
ing upon the work, why don't you, Mr..
Editor, give your readers something Of
it, in order to post them in the republi-
can ways and means Of legislation and
Of conducting senatorial elections. No
more effective argument could be ad-
vanced in favor OF the election Of United
States senators by the epeople themselves.
How little the people have known of the
conduct Of their agents appointed to
legislste for them and administer the
affairs OF state!
On visit to the legislature some years
since, on the occasion Of a senatorial
election (but different one from that
referred to by Gov. Elder), my verdsncy

shock at what l beheld. expected dig

decorum, conduct approaching rowdy-

the scene. And all this at q session
where the same men passed a most

WORTHY OF PRAISE.
Friends Of Hamline Organize to
Assist Worthy Students.

An association, which is the result of
the prevailing closeness in financial cir
cles, has recently been organized by the
friends of Hamline university. 1t is
styled the Hamline University Cooper
ative association, for the education OF
the young men and women. The object
is to secure students for the college.
and to assist them, when needful, by
means of a loan fund to be established
by contributions from those who have
the welfare of the institution at heart.
Such subscribers become members of
the association. In these close times.
which are felt especially by the farming
community, whence the colleges draw
the majority of their students, such a
scheme should prove of benefit in an
abling young people to pursue their
college course. Some such plan will
prove necessary in the case of many in
stitutions which might otherwise have
to suspend this fall.
The association numbers many in-
fiuential alumni and friends of the col
lege. The board of directors. eleven in
number, is constituted of the following

was done yesterday at st. Thomas
AQuinas seminary. at the retreat of a
week, which was attended by the priests
OF the diocese, ending yesterday. The
present vicar general. Father RavouX, Is
growing old, and the selection of Father
Caillet is designed to assist and relieve
him. The new selection is one merited
by Father Caillet. He has been in
charge of ST. Mary's church for more
than a quarter OF century, and it was
thought year ago that he would have
been placed in charge of st. Thomas
Aquinas seminary. He has great exec
utive ability, and is very learned man.
a GLOBE reporter called on the new
vicar general yesterday at his residence
adjoining st. Mary's church. He was
modest about the matter, and after ex-
pressing surprise at the news getting
out, said that he had nothing to say in
regard to the matter. The appointment
had been made at the synod, and he
returned to bis home after dinner at the
seminary. For the present he will re-
main at st. MarY's, and does not know
when he will assume charge of the
office, or where he will take up his resi-
dence when he enters upon the duties.
Speaking of his connection with st.
Mary's church he said: Il have had a
very pleasant life here"
Vicar General L. E. Caillet was born
in Lyons, France. in September, 1882,
and is, therefore, sixty-one years old.
His early education was secured in
France. He came to st. Paul in 1854
being then twenty-five years old. His
education was continued at Lazarus
seminary. in Perry county. Missouri,
near st. Louis. He was consecrated to
the priesthood in 1857. and lived ten
years at the cathedral, in this city. He
took charge of st. Mary's parish in 1867,
and has been there ever since. This is
one OF the strongest parishes in the
city, and its building up is the result of
the executive ability, piety and learning
of Father Caillet
Father Caillet's successor, as pastor
of st. Mary's church, will shortly be
appointed by Archbishop Ireland.

FALSE PRETENsEs,
Arrest Of a Woman for Obtainin
Money From Benevolent Elks.

Arrest of Woman for Obtaining
Money From Benevolent Elks.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Katie Lew
was arraigned in the police court
charged with obtaining 50 from Manager
BiXby, of the Grand, under false pre-
lenses. The woman, who is about
thirty-fve years old, arrived in the city
last Wednesday, accompanied by her
twelve-vear-old son. Since then she
has secured some s11 from various per-
sons on the representation that her hus-
band was member of the Elks, and
she was in straitened circumstances.
All of the persons touched" by Mrs.
Levy were members of the order to
which she claimed her husband be-
longed. Mrs. Levy did not care to talk
about the matter, except to say her huS-
band was a member of the order, and
she had made no false representations
Her son, after his mother had been COM
mitted to Jail to await trial Tues
day next, said they had been living at
Norfolk, Va, and had arrived in ST.
Paul last Wednesday. The name of
the place they had journeyed from to
st. Paul the boy did not remember, but
he said it "was 81 distance from st.
Paul" The lad said his father, whose
stage name was Alf Wheelan, was an
Elk, and as his mother was without
money she had secured s11 from men,
bers of the order to help her along. The
lad seemed to be up in family affairs,
for he volunteered the information that
his father had been trying to get di-
vorce from his mother, but without sue
cess. The police claim that Mrs. Levy
is wanted in several cities for securing
amounts of money by the same scheme
as she worked here.
Manager Wilbur. of the Wilbur Opera
company, paused in the midst of rush
of closing up business last night at the
Grand to give the GLOBE some addi-
tional facts concerning Kate Levi, the
beautiful siren who has just gotten into
police court in st. Paul, and is being
held there carged with Swindling. The
voluptuous Kate, it seems, told
some warm-hearted Elks pitiful
story and they were moved
