Vice President Stevenson addressed
a democratic gathering in Brooklyn
last Thursday night, during tho
course of which he stated:
IL am just from the west. having
lately made several speeches in my
own state. Illinois. Everything looks
very bright there. Business inter.
ests have revived and everybody
feels better. Indications are very
favorable, from a business point Of
view. and also very favorable from 3
political point of view, for the demo
Gratis. and are getting better all the
time. The more the people know o.
the new tariff bill the greater salts
fashion it gives"
This is the testimony of all bust
ness men. The Mckinley bill in thu
interest of monopoly brought about
business depression. The demo
cratic reform measure has reformed
industries all over the land.

what Desperation Will DO.

The campaign in this county has
up to he present been free from per-
sonalities OF any sort. the republi-
cans no doubt departing from thei-
usual custom with the thought that
they we're going to carry everything
with q whoop. As the election has
approached. however, they have dis
covered that their course does not
run as smoothly rs they anticipated.
that while the defeat OF Mckcevcr
and Titterington are an absolute GER
tainties, the prospects are growing
brighter every day for the entire
democratic ticket in the county.
The realization of this fact has driven
the republicans to the adoption OF
their customary tactics, and the
papers of the party of late have
tecmel with personal abuse, particu-
larly of Sheriff C.. d. Gordon, the
most ~ the stock in trade of the as
sailants being that he is known as
'Dadr and Pap" Gordon. and that
IL has been proven that the canard
about his arresting couple Of fire
workers in st. Louis, which the re-
publican papers bit Mt so neatly, was
what IL was declared to be from the
first-a great big fake, and anyway
as the boy up with the times would
say, 1T cuts no ice anyway"

BLIND CHIlDREN'S IDEAS.

The Queer Notions They Have and How
They Express Them.
DR.. Anagnos told me some amusing
stories about the quaint old way that
blind children usually have of express
ing themselves. This is due to the fact
that blind children are thrown almost
altogether for companionship with
grown people and so unconsciously they
imbibe the same manner of speech.
A short time ago a little child was
entered at the institution by its aunt,
who was a schoolteacher. When she left
the child, she said, Now, I shall ex-
pect You to get the matron to write a
letter for you to me before very long"
A short time passed, and the matron
said to the little girl. ''Isn't it about
time that we wrote that letter to your
auntie?" The little mite said, "Now,
that is what should style coincidence,
for was Just about to remark upon the
necessity Of forming my ideas at once. :"

interested in watching the little ones

To Get Their Fingers on That
$4,000
Headed Off Today by Injunction
Proceedings
A GREEDY CROWD.
Shocking Behavior of the State
Board.
How They Laid the Scheme to
Get the Money.
GREEDY CROWD

Injunction proceedings were COM
menced in the district court this after
noon to prevent DIR. II. A. Dykes, secre-
tary Of the state board Of health from
getting possession of the celebrated
$4,000 balance of the $4,000 cholera
fund
At the last meeting Of the state execu-
tive council DR.. Dykes presented his es-
Inmates for the expenses of his board for
preventing encroachments of cholera in
the state. This estimate called for the
expenditure of all Of this $4,000
The executive council voted to allow
the estimates but to the credit Of Govern
or Lewelliug and State Treasurer Biddle
they voted against allowing this esti-
mate, as on a former occasion.
When the state executive council has
allowed the estimates Of the state board
of health the law makes it the duty of
the state auditor to issue the warrants so
that the money can be drawn from the
state treasury
The suit is brought by the State of
Kansas on the relation of ii. G. Stafford,
county attorney. against the Kansas State
Board of Health, DR.. Stewart, its presi-
dent. DIR. Dykes, its secretary, the gov
ernor, secretary of state, auditor Of state
attorney general, treasurer OF state and
superintendent of public instruction, as
mem bers of the exectIve council, to re-
strain them from issuing any warrant for
the disbursement of the unexpended
portion of the appropriation of $4,000
to repel any threatened invasion of the
state by cholera. The petition recites that
the defendants threaten to do and will
do so unless restrained. 1t also alleges
that there is no invasion of the state,
United States or W estern Hemisphere by
cholera, and no threatened invasion. nor
has there been at any time since the APP
rropriatiOn was made.
j. @. Waters is associated with County
Attorney Stafford in the case. Mr. Waters
says:
1T is understood that Of this appro-
priation $4,000 is yet unexpended. 1t
has been fund upon which many "A
vulture glance has been cast, and around
which the jacKals would like to gather.
This is a good suit by Mr.. Stafford, in the
interest of good government. and is the
proverbia1 ounce of prevention worth
twenty pounds of cure.
"In justice to the governor and 1Ir.
BIddle, state treasurer, it should be said
that they have opposed and resisted any
expenditure of this money from the
start"
This case will be argued in the district
court next Saturday morning.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O-The Evening Post
today says that owing to the Iawlessness
of the police in certain districts Of the
city during the election. a strong move
ment is on foot to secure an investiga-
tion of the Chicago police force by state
authorities. The civic federation and
the civil service reform league,
backed by the powerful union league
and other prominent organizations
will, upon the convening Of the state
legislature, secure the appointment Of
an investigating board, and its work is
expected TO rival, for sensational revela-
tions, that of the Lexow committee of
New York.
The murder Of Gus Colliander.
the young Swede who was muir
watching the counting of ballots
IN the Ninth precinct of the Twenty
third ward last Tuesday did more than
anything else to bring matters to a focus
Indignation meetings were held in
nearly every ward on the north side last
night to protest against the election day
outrages, and to pledge united action
in avenging the death of brave
Gus Colliander, who died in de-
fense OF the ballot At each
meeting resolutions condemning the
brutal murders and assaults aud the men
were adopted. Fervid speeches demand
ing retribution both in the courts aud at
the polls we're made and applauded by
Democrats and Republicans alike re-
g4rdless of party strife or affiliation.
The facts brought to light by the DO
lice drag net Indicate more concIusively
than ever that the Market street gang,
otherwise known as the "O'MaIey gang
had formed a deliberate plot. not only to
seize the ballot boxes of several pre-
cincts by main force, but to kill the
judges and clerks if necessary
1t is known that the mem bers of the
gang, all Of whom have more or less un-
savory records, held a number Of meet
loon and that their plans were only less
perfect than those OF the Cronin mur-
derers.
The Record lind today says: ~There
are indications that men of influence
and city Office holders we're in communi-
cation if not in direct coIusion with
the gang: that they had promised its
mem bers immunity from police inter
ference. and that they had paid the liv-
cry bills for the carriages that were used
both before and after the murder of
Colliander. If the facts that were hinted
at can be proved the case will furnish
most sensational developments, and the
names Of men high in office will be
dragged into the fatal slot
The Civic Federation has already gone
vigorously into the work of prosecuting
the gang. It began to collect its evil
dence yesterday and no effort will be
spared to convict those who are guilty.
No warrants will be sworn out. however.
