HINRICHSEN'S RISE.
How Gov. AItgeld's Lieutenant
Emerged From Obscurity.

The Evolution of acBuck'' from Local
Politician and Country Editor.
From the obscurity of country politics
TO the prominence gaind by being a fig
ure of Importance at national conven-
ton is long step for a man to take in
the course of a few years, but that is
precisely the jump which William II.
Hinrichsen has taken. In Illinois,
where Mr. Hinrichsen holds the Office
of secretary of state, he is famiIiarly
known as Buck. Z" For several years
he has been the trusted lieutenant of
Governor Altgeld, and nothing was
more natural than that when the gov
ernor doomed up at the head of the sill
yer forces his right hand man should
also be brought into national promi-
hence.
= The rise of ''Buck'' Hinrichsen is an
interesting demonstration of the great
possibilities in American politics. He
was born about As years ago on a small
farm in Morgan county, Ills. He man
aged to get a good education, being
graduated from the State university. AS
soon as he was of age he began to take
an active interest in town and county
politics. He studied the methods of the
rural party leaders and applied them
with a good deal of success. He found
that every one of them had the faculty
of making friends. This was an easy
lesson for ''Buck'' to learn, and he in
dustriously cultivated the acquaintance
of every voter in his district.
He lived in a section of the state
where nearly all the farmers were Ger
mans and Democrats. There did not
seem to be any great political prizes in

west to arouse interest.

CHAMPION BROKE HIS LEG
While Gymnast Carlson Was Per
forming He Injured Himself
Severely

Bert Carlson, a young man "a years
of age, who resides on Quincy street,
between Third and Fourth streets, had
his left leg fractured below the knee
in a rather peculiar manner Saturday
night. Carlson was attending a Swed-
ish gymnastic society, and with other
young men was testing his high kick
ing accomplishments.
In putting forth his greatest effort to
reach a point higher than any made
by his competitors, he lost his balance
and the kick which proclaimed him
the champion cost him a fractured tib-
ia. In falling his leg twisted in such
q, manner as to break one of the bones
Carlson is employed at the Santa Fe
shops.

After having met and talked with
John Currie there is no longer any
doubt but that he him self believes that
he is a sculptor and that he can make a
statue worthy Of earthly immortality. He
is in command Of the situation and he

sion or use it for his own monument or
give it over to the committee, whatever
that is, that Governor Holcomb ap-
pointed. Whatever he does no one has

for fassing over dress. The other even

evidence Of the fussing woman, and
manifests few outward signs Of her
strenuous aud interchangeable career.
Everyone in conversation finds her the
most genial. good humored, and anus

printed in The Bookman, shows Miss
Glider dressed in a sack coat, a neglige
shirt, and unstarched, turn over collar, a
black silk belt, short hair and an i'm

on one side and chain with pen knife
and keys dangling from it, attached to

had planned to ask Cleveland if he
thought he had made as good presi-
dent as Harrison. or whether he was
a democrat or a republican, and if so,
why SO? Even Chang's oriental rusts

Lii Hung Chang asks the questions
that occur to every one on meeting
a stranger, but the Caucasian's obedi-
ence to taboo" prevents him from
asking them. For instance, the ques-
ton of age, income and ability must
be settled before an acquaintance can
progress far. The Caucasian finds out
how old how smart and how rich a man
is by various methods. all of them more
or less indirect. Ii Hung Changes time
Is short with each individual and he
knows, or pretends to know, no usage
against asking anything he wishes to
know. He asked Queen Victoria how
old she was, he asked Secretary Olney
if he thought he was as able as his
predecessor, he asked a railroad mana
ger the amount of his salary, and
when the official refused to tell him
Chang repeated the question, and his
victim wrote the amount on a piece of
paper. Every one must have noticed
the salary which a railroad official re-
ceives is a most delicate secret never

REASONABLE.
One Of the unreasonable, false
and malicious charges made against
the advocates Of the full enfranchise-
ment of silver is that they are in
fuenced by the rich silver mine
owners. The profits or lesses of
those engaged in mining have moth
ing to do in creating a sentiment in
avor of silver coinage. It'll but
natural and reasonable that those
who made great expenditures of
time and money in search Of gold
and silver and have been successful
should be anxious to enjoy the
fruits Of their labors. Honest and
honorable men would not deprive
them of the reward which is Justly
their d .gHe. Those who left their
homes, exposed their health and
lives in prospecting, delying into
the bowels of the earth to find the
precious metals, had every reason
to believe that the government
would stand firmly by the stand
ards of value which had been es-
