GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE
TO THE EAST,

TO THE EAST.
BEST DINING CAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
The Rock Island is foemostin adopt.
ing any advantage calculated to i'm
prove speed and give that luxury, safety
and comfort that popular patronage de-
mands.- Its equipment is thoroughly
complete with vestibuled trains, mag
nificent dining cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and Of
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They are
a double duty-to the Company and to
travelers-and it is sometimes a task
difficult of accomplishment. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance Of this Line can be
better understood if a short lesson in
geography be now recited.
What is the great Eastern termini Of
the Rock Island ROutep-ChicagO.
What other sub-Eastern termini has
it?-PeOria. To what important points
does it run trains to the Northwest
st. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and Watertown and Sioux Falls, Da-
kOta. To what important Iowa and
Nebraska pOintsP-Des Moines, Daven-
port, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Ne
braska.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood suburban
station, close to Worlds Fair grounds,
and you can save time and trouble by
getting of at that point and avoid the
crowd in the city.

No doubt the intentions of Demo-
cratic voters were good. They were
disguised with Republican rule, and
their leaders promised to redeem the
country. Now they are disappointed,
sad, sorry, ashamed. They didn't do
it on purpose. They honestly be-
lieved they were right. But now
they see that their politicians are as
corrupt as the Republicans. They
see that the money power controls
legislation. They see that all voters
are but a common herd with the
same interests. Both Democratic
and Republican deluded voters must
unite with the people against plu-
tocracy.

STOCK EXCHANGE JARaoN.
Not of Modern Origin, but in Use as
far Back as 1870.
From the StOck EXchanRe.

Change Alley, in London, became the
center of stock jobbing operations in the
year 1898, during the reign of William III,
or about one hundred years prior to the
forming Of an exchange in New York for
dealing in securities. Local traders have
assumed that most of the terms in use on
'Change here are of American parenGage,
but few of them are aware that most of
the more important ante-date by many
years the original assemblage of New
York brokers under the old pear tree,
which traditions has assigned as their
first place of meeting.
While there is no record that definitely
locates the modern jargon of stock trading
as early as 1900. yet there is evidence of
its existence about that time.
In that interesting compendium entitled
"Old and New London" attention is
called to extracts from Cibbers play of
The Refusal; or The Ladies Philoso-
acters in the comedy is sea director,
Wrangle by name, who says to Willing,
on the latters Boosting of his gain:
And all this out of Change Alley2"
Willing replies. Every shilling, sir All
out of stocks, puts, bulls. shams, bears
and bubbles" Furthermore, the express
sions ''haggling for an eighth" making
up differences, - selling refusals," occur
in the same play. Lame ducks waddling''
was in use abroad as early as 1850, and
also shorts to denote, as now, sales for
future delivery.
Many other instances might be cited
In almost every case the words and
phrases originally coined retain their
early Specification. All this goes to prove
that there is nothing new under the sun,
even in that arena of surprises, the stock
exchange.

EVANSVILLE.

Mr.. ]. H. Ralston has had tilt with Gov.
Brown in regard tc the Imprisonment of
the Coxey men In the house of correction.
Mr.. Ralston, in a recent letter to the gov
ernor, called his attention to an agreement
to the effect that all the Coxey men should
be released, and claimed that O'Neill, Horst
and Hartman had been made to serve out
their full terms in violation of the agree
ment, and that the latter, for want of
proper medical treatment, has gone blind.
He also made certain charges of cruelty
inflicted upon the inmates of the house of
correction by it's officers, and asked for an
explanation. The governor in a tart let
ter replied that such charges should be in
yestiSated Dy the board of directors of the
Institution. Mr.. Ralston declined to sub
NIT the charges to the board, giving as
his reasons for doing So that members
were every month the guests of the very
men they would investigate, but offered
to lay the charges before a board not gov
erned by personal or partisan feelings. The
governor, so Mr. Ralston claims, then an
nounced his intention of ignoring the
charges against the institution. 1t is stated
that other charges beside those OF cruelty
10 the inmates will be brought against the
officers of the house of correction.

Wellington's plurality is 5G9. Comparing
the total vote cast with the total number
of registered voters II is seen that 1,4S1

The republicans have abandoned the idea
of holding a celebration in honor of their
victory.
Mr.. Daniel G. Kefauver and Miss Eva
Ruth Coblentz, both well known and popular
young people of Middletown, this county,
eloped from there Thursday morning and
driving to Walkersville by different routes
to avoid detection met at the Stauffer
House in the latter village, where they
were married by the Rev. c. ". Stinespring
of the United Brethren Church. After the
ceremony they drove back to Middletown
to endeavor to overcome the barrier of
parental objection that had made clope-
ment necessary.
The fourth annual Frederick flower show
opened in the rink building on Wednesday
morning and closed Friday night. 1t was
the largest and finest exhibition of chrysan-
