THEY SWING THEIR ARMS,
AhAs Is the Terrible Charge Brought
Against Bicycle Girls.

ANS Is the Terrible Charge Brought
Against Bicycle Girls.
Inc queer habit men have of regard
ing women as mysterious beings whose
actions and modes of thought are quite
lncomprehensible, was amusingly illus
trated recently by a writer who won
dered, through a column and more,
why women, when walking, seemed
embarrassed about how to dispose of
their hands. The custom of the sex
OF carrying purse, card case, umbrella
or other something was explained to be
an effort to solve the question of what
should be done with her hands. Most
peculiar, so it was averred, and very
unlike the habit of men. It is indeed
quite true that the sexes on the street
manage their hands and arms after diff
lerent fashions, but unlikeness in this
particular is artiicially produced, as
the wondering writer could have easily
ascertained if he had taken the trouble
to investigate. Men of high and low
and all intermediate grades swing their
arms as they walk; that beautiful, nat
ural and comfortable movement is not
permitted to a woman or girl with any
p~retensions to good breeding. Don't
swing your arms is among the earliest
of the appalling long calendar Of
"Don'ts' prepared exclusively for girls.
In fact, among the very awful sins that
conservative people charge against the
bicycle girl is that when off her wheel
she strides "along and swings her
arms What she should do, according
to these censors, of course, is to glue
her elbows to her sides and to take lady
like steps. However, athletics is likely
more and more to claim the homage OF
woman, and il is more than possible
that ere long convention will permit
her arms to swing as freely as those OF
her brother, and when that time arrives
n more mystery" will be

SDecuiation in Siam ne,

Just before the Zulu war there was
in Mauritius a stamp collector who
was a friend of the local postmaster.
One day he learned that there was to
be a clearance of old stock and OBJ
tanned permission to buy it all as
waste. 1t occurred to him that he
might do the same at other small
colonial postoffices and acquire stamps
without difficulty. One OF his Mauri-
titus stamps he sold not long ago for
$4,25O, and, according to the Man
chester Courier, he has already made
between $500, 600 and $3.50, 900 by his
Investment.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Ey II. H. Carr & Co., tho Farmers Co.
mission HOuse.

We are in the midst Of an excitir
political campaign; the great citl
are stirred by monster demonstration
The great orators hold forth eveAI
night in halls, wigwams, and tents. p
litical leaders are busy figuring out tie
result in advance of the election. Thou
sands OF men in the employ of the M
uonal committees are ascertaining as
near as possible how each city ward,
how each branch Of organized labor,
how each city will vote. One thing no
man, no set of men, no campaign COM
mittee, no political party can tell in
advance, that is, how the farmers of
question to-day is: How do the farm
ers feel about it? We mention this
only to illustrate a point in practical
business matters.
Agricultural workers are learning
their power in politics. They>can make
or unmake state legislatures. They do
1T by initiating the methods Of labor
in cities, by working together. They
do not need local unions. They can
work in our grand intellectual union
for their common good. They have
done it in demanding legislation. They
are doing it now in a way that makes
leaders tremble. They will act more
They find other things thar politics to
call for their decision. They produce
what the world needs. They are study
ing new methods of giving the fruit Of
their labors to the world. Recently an
army of 10000 men marched through
Chicago's streets celebrating the twen-
ty-fifth anniversary Of the great fire.
The farmers have for years fed a much
greater army; not only fed, but made
rich, presented with grain elevators,
private banks, fine houses, costly lux
uries, the old-time, ever-present army

against dividing profits with this army
between the farm and the worlds big
markets.
This Independent action began with
this pioneer farmers commission house.
1t is assuming proportions which make
the easy money-makers professional
shippers) at the stations over a dozen
states tributary to Chicago tremble.
The question:: What are the farmers
going to do?' bothers not politicians
alone, but all those who have been
getting something for nothing. Farm
ers are going to ship their own grain
not a few or a hundred, but an army
nave tried it, it pays. That is one
question answered by farmers.
See what a few farmers say who
have tried shipping:

THE SACKETT CASE.
The chicago End of the Story of the Fallen
Diamond Broker.
Times Herald

Oliver Perry Sackett, brother of a
diamond broker, with whom be was as
ISOLATED in business, and quite figure
in society wheE at home, is now
charged with having shot at a police
man in the light of the moon in Wis
consin under suspicious circumstances,
and is now languishing in a Kenosha
jail. The sensational charges OF one who
claims to have been an accomplish Of
Sackett's in crooked work stares him
in the face. At the same time Sackett
is complacent enough to say that while
some men may lead DR.. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde existence, this is altogether
a case of mistaken identity, and asserts
he will fully clear himself.
Sackett has been connected with the
firm of John NJ. Sackett & Co., room
1881, Masonic Temple. 1t is said he is
travelling salesman and collector. He
travelled with a horse and buggy
through Wisconsin towns, accompanied
by Frank Miller j. M. Sackett, his
brother, also makes periodical trips out
of the city. When they are absent
Mrs. Sackett conducts the business of
the firm, which consists OF selling dia-
monds on "easy payments of ST. per
week" This firm has been located in
the Masonic Temple for nine months.
Upon his return to the city Thursday
Oliver P. Sackett was arrested at the
Masonic Temple by Detective Garasche
charged with an attempt to kill Po-
liceman O'Hare at Kenosha, Wis, on
July 26. It was charged that Sackett
and Frank Miller were found suspic-
iously in Central park, Kenosha, at 2
o'clock on the morning in question, and
were accosted by Policeman O'Hare.

Running Fire at a Policeman.

Running Fire at a Policeman.
They talked a moment, and then the
men ran, Sackett, it is alleged, opening
fire at the same time on the officers.
Several shots were exchanged, but
Sackett got away, while Miller was
twice shot and captured, Miller has
since made a confession to the officials
duplicating Sackett, and he was arrest
ed on the strength of it.
Sackett was delivered to Deputy
Sheriff Lange, of this city, and taken
to the county jail An effort to secure
his release on a writ Of habeas corpus
was made in Judge Chetlain's court
yesterday. Policeman O'Hare, of Re
nosha, positively identified Sackett as
the man who shot at him. There was
confusion of names and the Wiscon-
sin authorities had indicted the young
man under the name of Charles Sack
EFT. Deputy Sheriff Harkins, of Keno
sha, was present with eXtradition
papers.
Sackett attempted to prove an alibi
by several witnesses, who testified he
was in Englewood on July 26. Judge
Chetlain declared that Sackett might
have been in Kenosha at 2 o'clock III
the morning and in Englewood in the
afternoon. He held it was question
of Identification of the man wanted,
and, after hearing the testimony,
Judge Chetlain decided to deliver
Sackett to the Wisconsin authorities.
There was dramatic scene in the
courtroom when Sackett was torn from
the embrace of his weeping sister-in-
law and relatives and taken to the
train at o'clock by the officers.
Miller Escapes From Jail
Frank Miller, who is said to have
been with Sackett on the night Of the
shooting, and who was arrested at Ra-
cine, was in jail at Kenosha until yes
terday, when he escaped and is still at
large. Recently he received package
of underclothing in wrapper marked:
g From j. NJ. Sackett, Chicago" This
is said to have been the clew which re-
suited in O. P. Sackett's arrest. 1t is
alleged Miller's confession implicated
" Charley" Sackett, as he called him.
in a number of burglaries in Wiscon-
sin. The g travelling salesman" occu-
patton. Miller declared, was simply a
foil.
Under Sheriff Harkins, OF Kenosha,
charged that o. P. Sackett has been
playing the role of DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde by making frequent " excursions :
out of Chicago with Miller, and main
tanning himself at home as diamond
brokers' associate.
John NJ Sackett, brother of the
prisoner and senior member of the
firm, is out of the city, according to
statements made at his residence, 46l
Fifty-ninth street, last night. 1t was
said, too, that Mrs. j. M. Sackett was
not at home and would not return until
tomorrow from a visit with friends
elsewhere in the city.
Oliver p. Sackett, the prisoner,
dresses stylishly, is possessed of a BALL
room personally and a nervous tenn
permanent He denies all knowledge OF
Miller and says it is all mistake.
Policeman O'Hare, of Kenosha, in
sists he is positive of his man, and that
several surprises await Mr. Sackett il
Millers confession shall prove reliable.
