CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-J. A. Drake,
treasurer and paymaster of the Indiana,
Illinois & Iowa railroad, went to the Of
fee OF the road and placed in a satchel
money to meet the com pany's pay roll
and started with it when he was al
tackled by footpads and sandbagged and
robbed of the entire amount. How
much the satchel contained is unknown
as the officers of the road refuse to say.
but rumor puts it at $25, 900 to SAC, 000,-
600.
As far as known no clue to the rob-
bers has been discovered. Drake is
said to be badly hurt. but the officers
of the road refuse to dlvulge his where
abouts.
The robbery caused great excitement
in business districts, occurring as it did
in the very heart of the city. The rail
road has heretofore paid in checks, but
sent out circular on the first of the
month saying that hereafter the men
would be paid in currency. 1t is
thought that the robbers heard of the
change. The police have overhauled
many suspects and tonight it is re-

James Whitcomb Riley and His Remark

James Whitcomb Riley, The Hoos-
Ter Poet, lisa somewhat short, singular
ly unpoetic-looking man, of genial
manner, with a strong, long, angular
face, smooth shaven, sharp-set gray
eyes, prominent Roman nose, wears
eyeglasses, and acknowledges to five
and-thirty years. His father, we'll
to-do business man, intended him for a
professional career, but while vet at
school he good-naturedly kicked over
the traces and adopted the trade of a
travelling sign-painter. In this role he
acquired all the phrases of the streets,
the woods, and the field, and laid up a
store of homely knowledge and philos-
ophy, upon which he draws with
never-faili9g success. He started in
literature the master of two Ian
guages-English and Hoosier. It was
about 1875 that his verses began to at
tract attention, and since 1880 he has
been accounted the leading dialect
poet of the country. Many good stor-
les are told at his expense. He
once travelled through Indiana as

ter" A companion who acted as
his manager would exhibit him before
a plate-glass window, handing his
brushes to him as he needed. The poet
would measure off the glass carefully
with his hands, and after much prelim-
mary business" would dash off sign
while the country-folk looked on in
amazement. But perhaps the most
elaborate joke he eve perpetrated was
a poem in imitation of Edgar Allan
Poe, which went the rounds as newly
discovered production of that poet, land
which deceived so accomplished a critic
as William Cullen Bryant He writes
SO fine hand that it almost requires a
magnifying- glass to read it. He has
amassed quite comfortable compe-
tence out of his poems, having lately
purchased the old family homestead
his birthplace, at Greenfield, Ind.
where he will live hereafter. It is g
handsome structure of the modified
Greek style of architecture SO fashion
able in the south a generation or two
ago, and is surrounded by fine grove
of whispering naples" An original
minded, unbusiness-lil1e man of i'm
moderate modesty, his personality is
as remarkable as his poems.

The independence displayed by serv-
ants in America invariably forces it.
self on the attention of visitors from
Europe.
A well-known official of the English
post Office tells very good story on
this point, says the Boston Traveller.
Some years ago he visited America on
business and while staying at New
York he was the guest of a prominent
officer of the Western Union Telegraph
company, gentleman whose name is
familiar to most Americans.
When the Englishman retired at
night he placed his boots outside the
bedroom door, where they were duly
observed next morning by his host
who asked his wife to get one of the
servants to clean them.
"Oh," replied the lady, che must gel
them cleaned at the corner of the
street, just as you do"
"No, my dear" remarked her hus
band, 81 can't ask Mr.. - to do that
Just offer one of the servants half q
dollar to clean them"
81 have done So" said the lady, ''and
they declare they WON'T
''Well, if they won't I must" an6
forthwith the American seized his
guests boots and polished them in e
highly creditabIe style.
On the morning of the Englishman's
departure his friend accompanied him
to the steamer, and, just as the whistle
was blown to indicate that all but pas
sengers stgo on shore, whispered il
his ear:
'I'll tell you something that viii
amuse you. I have cleaned your boot:
all the while you have been in New
York"

A Curiona Dialect.

A Berlin magazine describes the
negro English of the west coast of
Africa. Whoever means to do business
on the west coast of Africa must learn
this curious language, be he German
or Briton. Luckily this is not very
difficult. The whole language com.
prises only about three hundred words,
and these people despise everyone who
does not speak it. The extreme sim
plicity of the idiom is well illustrated
by the following examples: "Den
steamer go sleep here for night, the
steamer will anchor here tonight; dem
steamer him belly be full, the steamer
is fully loaded; dem steamer be hun
cry, the steamer has still room for car
go; when sun come for bed, when the

NEWSPAPERS APPRECIATED.

New Hampshire Man Who Believes in
the Periodical for the Library.
There is a man in New Hampshire
named William c. Todd, who holds to
the theory that he is benefting his fell

reach. He lately.provided for an. expend-

Gently made similar provision for the

belives in the value of newspapers,
and yet it seems that he is not pat
ent-medicine, man as one might sup
pose, but retired schoolmaster, who
has been great traveller, and now
pursues a life of studious retirement
in village. In extenuation of his &C
ton he declares that the press has be-
come the great agency by which in
formation is diffused and the people
are educated, and that free reading
rooms are likely to be more in demand
in the future than free libraries. It is in
teresting to notice that he seems not to
have suffered from the newspaper pub
licity about which there is so much COM
plant, and that even his neighbors in
Atkinson, where he lives, were found
to possess scarcely any reliable infor-
nation about his past career or the
size of his fortune. They knew him
to be frugal in his personal habits and
generous in his benefactions, but that

The Human Family,

The human family living on earth
to-day, says an exchange, consists of
about 1,450,0O0,000 souls-not fewer,
probably more. These are distributed
literally all over the earth's surface,
there being no considerable spot on the
globe where man has not found foot
hold. In Asia, the so-caIled "cradle of
the human race" there are now about
500, 100000 people densely crowded, on
an average of about 100 to every
square mile. In Europe there are $780,
100000, averaging 100 to the square
mile.

ing so made no mistake.
Mr.. Fairman has been n class student
and practical teacher all his life. lie
was born in the county, has always
lived here, and is an honest, energetic,
and thoroughly practical man. There
is probably no better instructor i'll the
County than Mr.. Fairman, so he is
well qualified to go into the school
room and assist the teacher and to
instruct her as to the best methods
for governing and instucting scholar.
These are qualities needed for a
competent School Commissioner. lie
needs to be something more than
a theorist-he must be II practical
teacher, one who knows what each
school and each teacher needs and is
able to assist in correcting wrong
methods.
Republicans can make no mistake
in giving Mr.. Fairman their hearty
support, and the importance of the
position should call every vote out on
election day.
