 l New York, Aug, 2S.--George Law, the multi-milllonaire president of the Eighth Avenue Railroad company has been sued for something like $100,0OO for breach of promise of marriage. The woman in the case is Miss Josephine Mack, daughter of Mrs, J. E.

Miss Mack and her family are real gentlefolk and I am sure would shrink from any publicity l It would be better that she tell hei story, If she has one, in court"
 MT. Wellman however, admitted that the suit had been brought.
 Miss Mack's house is just across l Fifth avenue from the Waldorf, a few 1 doors east of Thirty y-fourth street, and here it was said that no member of the family was in.
 I MT Law, as far as could be ascertain at the Fiftieth street stables, on Eightf Iavenue, when In the city, and those wht 1 ought to know said that they had no seen him for several days

Chairman Mcmillan Talks of His Presi-
Dental Chances.
Dies MONIES, Oct. 14.-Chairman HI.
G. Mcmillan of the Republican state
central committee gives out formal
interview, in which he takes rosy view
of the chances of Senator Allison in the
presidential race. He said:
"Allison is now assured strong sup
port in the west and northwest. He is
certain of the delegations from Iowa,
Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and New Mexico. Wisconsin
is expected to be for him, but this is not
yet certain. In the east he has q
powerful influence working for him.
Matt Quay, Tom Platt, Joe Manley and
other leaders are at work for him.
Senator Davis of Minnesota and Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota are in the
same combination. They are of the
opinion that Reed will not have nearly
SO much strength as he expects. In
fact, that he will not be in the race Sc
riously.
"They say the fight viii be between
Mckinley and Allison, and that Develop
ments in the east indicate that the west
ern men will have strong support and
good chances to secure the New York
and Pennsylvania delegations.

Red Oaks Nasty Gets OF. With q Fine Of
S75O-Page Sentenced.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Oct. 12.-The fall
term of the federal court in this city has
closed. The closing day was spent in
sentencing prisoners. The two import
ant cases for sentence were those of
Nina Page and Richard B. Hall. Red
Oaks postmaster, after pleading guilty
to two indictments charging him with
classifying the accounts of his Office and
with opening mail belonging to another
person, escaped with punishment COM
paratively slight. He was sentenced to
a fine of $500 and costs in one case and
fine of $3.50 and costs in the other.
So far as Hall is concerned, however,
the punishment is severe. He had the
intercession Of influential and respected
members of the community, who bore
powerful testimony to his previous good
character and asked that his punish
ment fall short Of the penitentiary. His
disgrace was terrible for man in his
position. He lost his office, and to pay
his fine will take all he has been able to
accumulate during the years he has
lived in Red Oak.
Mrs. Page, convicted of passing coun-
terfeit money, was sentenced to pay a
fine of 800 and to serve sentence of
three years in the penitentiary at Ana

other appropriation will be necessary by
congress to cover the amount of claims
which the commissioners appointed to

MILITlAMAN CALLED INTO COURT.
Unique Military Legal Point Involved In a
Case at Fort Dodge.

Unique Military Legal Point Involved In a
Case at Fort Dodge.
Fort DODGE, Ia, Oct. IA matter
of considerable interest to military men
has opened in the courts here. Last
summer Jose Ryan, member of com.
pany G, Iowa National guard, was alb.
sent from the encampment without
leave of absence. The law says that un.
less there is sufficient excuse a member
of the militia cannot be absent from
camp, and exacts a fine of So a pay for
the time absent. Captain Chant sued
in justice court for the collection of 81
for seven days absence. Ryan resisted
claiming sufficient excuse existed for his
absence, and the justice upheld him.
The captain then carried the case to
the district court, claiming that civil adj
herents had no right to pass ON the
question, that it rested with the military
officials. Judge Weaver upheld the
justice ON the theory that since the law
says the fines shall be collected in the
civil courts they have right to pass OH
the case. An appeal was at once taken
to the supreme court and military
officials are determined to uphold their
position ON the grounds of it's necessity
for discipline or have new law passed
covering the point.
