a SURPRISE IN STORE.

The return of Phil Scheig and the

such absorbing interest that the public

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
More Damaging Facts in Abey-

'1f Phil Scheig told the grand Jury
all he KNEW" remarked a prominent
and well-posted citizen yesterday, 'you
can put it down that the Floyds are not
the only ones who are badly shaken up
over the defalcation. There is whole
lot of soreness among the bank officials
the mselyes. and, if the truth were
known. have no doubt that the money
taken directly by Scheig represents
but fraction of the loss suffered by
the bank. Ordinarily, you do not see

THAT ENGINE HOUSE LOT.
The Mayor Takes Advantage of a
Technicality.

Tecbnicality.
1t looks as though the mayors veto
to the resolution calling for the pur-
chase of an engine house lot in the
Twelfth ward would amount to some
thing after all, in spite of the fact that
the council refused TO sustain it by q
vote of 20 to 1. The mayor has been
studying the resolution ever since, and
has found what appears 10 be clerical
or technical error that vitiates the resp
luton. The description of the lot in
question reads, "Copeland's Rearrange-
ment of Block /, Griswold's Addition"
The mayor claims that the proper de-
Scription should be "Copeland's Rear
rangement of Griswold's Third Addi-
ton" This, he contends, will necessi-
tate the passage of another resolution
IN the meantime Haywood & BoShart,
real estate agents, have come forward
with all offer to sell for $500 lot near
by and of equal dimensions to the one
proposed. The price asked for the lot
in the resolution is $1,000. There is

The Poetry That PAYS.

A poet, to have successful sale for q
book Of verse, should bear in mind one
potent fact-that the poetry for which
there is the greatest general demand to-
day Is that which appeals to the heart,
rather than to the mind. That Is the BE-
cret Of the greater sale of Longfellow's
books over those of Walt Whitman; that
is why Whittier outsells Browning, why
thousand copies of DR.. Holmes poetical
works are sold to one Of Swinburne; why
Will Carleton outsells Thomas Bailey
Aldrich; why James Whitcomb Riley's
poems sell as fast as they are put on the
shelves. while those of Andrew Lang and
Austin Dobson stand year after year
looking at each other from the same rel.
ative position on the same shelves.
The cynical literary critic may sneer
at Will Carleton, he may pick flaws in
James Whitcomb Riley's verse, he may
tell you that Eugene Field is only news
paper poet, but does the public listen to
the all knowing critic and buy the works
of the long ago buried poets whom he
chooses to call immortal2 Ask the book
sellers; ask the publishers. To defy the
reader's easy conception of a thought in q
poem may be to have your name included
In the intense literary set, but it will not
sell your poems.-Edward W. Box in
