"As funny thing as ever knew of

ing, is tho best reporter in Chicago. He
was lawyer once, and a mighty good
one, but he saw that the law had 10

business, and he came to Chicago from
the Iowa town where he was practicing
and began work ON one Of the big
da1lies He hadn t been there week be-
fore the managing editor realized that

cry opportunity to make himself name.
He made it too. He was put ON big

liant work. He was with The Tribune
for long time. The Herald and other
papers wanted him, but Sandy stuck to
The Tribune He got bit free and gay,
but the old man put up with him. FL
nally patience ceased to be a virtue, and
ono day Sandy drifted into the office
only to be told that they thought they
might be able to get out paper without
him if they hustled.
He went out whistling gayly and
walked over to The Herald office. He
told them Tho Tribune people had lust
fired him and asked for job The Her
aid was too glad to get him. They snap
ped him up right away. The next day
Sandy reported for an assignment. The
city editor of Tho Herald put him OH a
big story he had been keeping OH the
ice for awhile and told Sandy that it
was exclusive.
SANDY went out and got the facts.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
PopuIists claim They VIII Hold tho Bal
ance OF Power In the Senate.

PopuIists claim They Will Hold tho Bal
anco OF Power In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Populists here
are claiming that general results will
follow in the Western States from Sena-
tor Jones' detection from the Repub.i-
can party. Tney claim that Idaho will
go for the Populists, but Senator Dubois,
who leaves for tho West tonight, de
mics this and also asserts that Mother
himself nor any other Western Senator
will follow Mr. Jones' example.
The other States which will elect
Senators this fall and which, it Is
claimed, will be more or less affected BY
the action of Senator Jones. are Col.
orado. Montana and Wyoming II is
within the range of possibility that all
of'the States may have legislature 8
controlled by Populists, and instead OF
sending back Republicans will elect
Populist Senators.
Colorado has already been carried by
the Populists. The members OF the
house of representatives from Colorado
belong to the party. In Wyoming the
Legislature chosen two years ago failed
to elect successor to Senator Warren
because the Populists held the balance
OF power. and combination could not
be formed between either of the parties,
none having majority OF the legisla-
ture. The Same was true of Montana,
where successor to Senator Sanders
could not be chosen.
1t is asserted by Republican Senators
that when Congress reassembles a
motion will be carried in the Republican
caucus to remove Jones from the finance
com mittee and to replace him by Re-
publican free silver coinage advocate.
General Jones' colleague, Mr.. Stewart,
sometime ago announced his withdrawal
from the Republican party. He hold a
place In the committee on appropri-
atoms. He was removed and Teller put
on in his place. The Populists claim
that with tho election Of Tillmau from
South Carolina, and such accessions to
their ranks as seem to them now TO be
absol" tely certain, they will hold the
balance of power in the Senate in the
future.

FINISHED POETRY


Patient Labor rs Much us Fine Frenzy a
Factor In Its Production.
There are yot some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes
from II sublimatod cataleptic franco to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. a number of manuscript
sheets of Longfollow's Excelsior, T"
which may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but give
hope to many n discouraged amateur.
AS Longfellow first constructed the first
~eaeR of this poem it ran:
TIE shades of night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village passed
a youth who, us the peasants sung,
Responded in nn unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifcstly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung WINS that they might af.
ford rhyme for tho youth IS response
in an unknown tongue. n second trial
at the verse, however not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
follow guilty of the fault The last two
lines of the verse We're made to read:
y youth who bore n pearl of price,
y banner with the strange device
There are not many, oven among the
magazine poets of today, who would
consent to refer to banner ms "a pearl
of price. But tho poet had by this time
three lines to his liking, and the substi.
tuition of "a youth who bore mid snow
and ice" completed the verse rs it has
been read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth of the land, all of
which goes to show that the genius of
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production of the poem, being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc.
ton OF patient labor. -Chicago Herald.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Sept. 5.-News of a
threatened outbreak at the penitentiary
has just been learned. The Hatfield.
Mccoy gang, of Pike county, and James
Hit, OF Breathitt, all desperadoes and
life men, were concerned in the plot,
which was made known to Warden
George Sunday by prisoner who
CHANGED to overhear the men talking.
1t was their purpose to make the at.

prisoners were going to supper With
four large knives, made from files,
ground to keen edge and point, they
intended to kill the guards. take their
weapons, kill the guard on the wall be-
tween the male and female wards and
make their escape by passing over the
wall.
The wardens placed the plotters in
irons and in sc parate cells. All soon
confessed, expressing that the others
were the traitors, except Wick fallen,
who held out for thirty hours before he

Their Scheme Did Not Work

Burrell Smith and Robert Miller,
both colored, were sent on to the grand
jury by Police Justice Williams yester-
day morning, on the charge of stealing
IS from Harriet Love, who was in jail
at the time. The boys pretended that
they had been to see Lawyer Lyle and
he wanted SIS to take her case. She
handed the money through the bars,
and in their eagerness to get it tore the
bill in half. They made their escape
and were arrested later on Tuesday
night by Officer Griffin.
1T Is conceded that Mr.. Leo Wheat is
the representative southern pianist
and the fact that he uses the Marshall
q Wendall piano Is a sufficient guaran
tee of its superior merits.
