works, instituted proceedings for divorce
for adultery on Saturday and attached his
property to the amount of 500, 900. Mr..
Grout has been in California for the past
few months and is supposed to be in Pas

has been very poor. The libel, filed at the

that the two principals We're married at

LIQUOR CURE WINDS UP.
The Morrcn Company OF WestfieId WilI
60 out of Business.

The Springfield Republican announced
Yesterday that the Morrell liquor cure com
pany, which was organized in Westteld,
Mass, over a year ago, and had control in
the state of Massach lsetts of the Morrell
preparation, has decided to wind up its al
fairs The principal stockholders and di-
rectors are prominent business men, and
they will clear up affairs in a satisfactory
way. The reason for this termination was
given tersely by an officer who remarked,
ave started too late" He is now con-
WINGED that the Kelley and other cures that
followed it are doomed, and it is only a
question of time before all will give up
business. A large per cent of the grad
yates are relapsing into their old habits,
and the average "cure' does not last many
months While it is true that many stop
ped drinking through the influence of the
treatment, permanent results have been Sc
cured only when the victim has character
to rally morally from the effects of slavery
to habit. One element which has finan-
cially affected the Westfeld company is
the fact that most of the dipsomaniacs who
seek treatment are poor and their expenses
are met by charity. These offers of as
sistance are not always carried out and the
company has to bear the loss. Moreover a
large royalty has to be paid for the exclu-
sive right to use the preparation.

A Disastrous Fire at Palmer.

There was a disastrous fire at Palmer
Saturday evening when IIolden's opera
house block at the corner Of Main and
Central streets was burned. The loss is
estimated at 500, 900, and beside the opera

were X. j. Henry, boots and shoes; Z. l.,
Davis, fancy goods dealer; Palmer Herald
newspaper, Druggist O. p. Allen, Market
man G.. \. Bills, Robinson a Taylor,
grocers. Most of the losers were insured.

the Madden block and wiping out the next
square to Walnut street, Mr., Allen lost
valuable historical manuscripts, some OF
which doubtless related to Windham

- HE WAS A DAISY.
But as Reporter Ho Made an Awful Blum
der on n Big Scoop.

GAS funny thing as ever know OF
in the newspaper business. said tho re
formed reporter, twas the way Sandy
Mclean gave the Chicago Tribune
scoop. Now, Sandy, to my way of think
ing, is the best reporter in Chicago. He
was lawyer once, and mighty good
one, but he saw that the law had no
such opportunities as the newspaper
business, and he came to Chicago from
the Iowa town where he was practicing
and began work on one of the big
dailies. He hadn been there week be-
fore the managing editor realized that
he had star, and Sandy was given ev-
cry opportunity to make himself name.
''He made it too. He was put on big
story after big story and beat every 9th
er reporter in the city. After time he
got to The Tribune and kept up his bril-
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 virtue, and
one 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 The Tribune people had just
fred him and asked for job. The Her
aid was too glad to get him. They snap
ned him m right away The neyt 1ov
Sandy reported for an assignment. The
city editor of The Herald put him on
big story he had been keeping on the
ice for awhile and told Sandy that it
was exclusive
SANDY went out and got the facts.
He found that he was the first and only
newspaper man who knew anything
about the tale and it was a corker. He
started back to the Office to write it up
He had been so used to going to The
Tribune Office that he mechanically got
off the car there and walked up into the
local room. He sat down at his old desk,
wrote the story and handed it to the city
editor. The city editor saw that the
story was sensational, put scare head
on it and ran it on tho first page. The
Tribune was the only paper that had it,
and Sandy did not wake up to what he
had done until he had got note from
The Herald city editor next morning
calling him all sorts Of names and dis
charging him. He got back on The
Tribune, though, and he's there yet. "

FINISHED POETRY,
Patient Labor rs Much as Fine Frenzy a
Factor In Its Production.

Patient Labor rs Much as Fine Frenzy a
Factor In Its Production.
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes
from sublimated cataleptic trance to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. A number of manuscript
sheets Of Longfellowis Excelsior, !"
which may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but give
hope to many discouraged amateur.
AS Longfellow first constructed the first
verse of this poem it ran:
Tho shades Of night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in an unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af
ford a rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it i'll such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
fellow guilty Of the fault. The last two
lines of the verse were mado to read:
A youth who bore pearl of price,
A banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets Of today, who would
consent to refer to a banner as "a pearl
of price, But the 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 as 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 i'll the direc-

DENIES THE CHARGES.

The Pullman Company's Answer to At
tornoy-GeneraI Rzaioney's Suit.
CHICAGO, Oct. San answer was filed
today in the circuit court before Judge
Gibbons in behalf of the Pullman Pal
acs Car company to the quo warranto
proceedings begun by Attorney General
Maloney. It denies the charge that the
company lie exceeding its rights in doing
business not provided for by the charter.
The time allowed for filing the plea ex-
pired today.
Mr.. Maloney said he would probably
make demurrer to the plea, if given
time to look it over, and if the Pullman
counsel agreed to that and furnished a
copy. Both sides consented to appear
before Judge Gibbons and to make their
arguments. The court therefore ad-
journed to await the readings Of the
lawyers.
The plea fled by the Pullman company
is lengthy document, and covers the
same ground ss the information, denying
most of the charges of the latter docu-
ment. 1t declares that the company ia
not holding land, or that of any other
corporation not on its charter, and is not
transacting any business beyond its cor
porate rights.
