The campaign thus launched should be
pressed with vigor, and we can all rest
assured that if Mr. Wanamakcr Is elected
n will materially add to the prominence
of our state In the national congress and
contribute to the speedy settlement ON
wise lines Of the grave financial question
that vet confronts us. To the popular
mind Mr.. Wanamaker is the ideal busi-
ness man, and the masses of the people
want today n business mans administra-

winner over those whose only claims are
past political fealty to some one OK other

JOHN WANAMAKER INDORSED.
Business Men In Connellsville and Nearb,
ToMnships ENpress Themselves.


CoNNELLsvILLE, Dec. 1.-At n largely at
tended meeting of the Mckinley and Ho-
bart Citizens club, composed OF business
menTresiding in Connellsville and the sur
rounding townships, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, The Hon.J. ID. Cameron 5 seat
in the United States senate will soon be-
come vacant, and his successor Will be
chosen at the next meeting OF the state
legislature, therefore be it
"Resolvcd That we hereby declare our
selves earnestly in favor Of the election ot
the Hon. John Wanamaler, should he be
candidate for that distinguished and re-
sponsihle position. His integrity and
strength of character, his force OF intel
lect, his experience in public affairs ana
his practical and profound acquaintance
with the business of the country are SO
well known as 20 need no further recapitu-
lation, and therefore we feel that no man
in the state would represent US more
crcditably nor more efficiently than he
Resolved, That we, therefore, urgently
request our representatives in the legisla-
ture, and our senator in the senate TO use
all honorable means in their power to So
cure the election OF Mr.. Wanamaker to
scat in the senate Of the United states,
believing that in so doing they would be

some Important Reasons.

There are many reasons why Mr..
Wanamaker should be elected United
States senator, but none is more forcible
than the fact that he is business man.
Past experience has demonstrated that
more business men and fewer professional
politicians are needed in the upper house
of the nation congress. Mr.. Wanamaker
possesses every attribute to make sue
cessful senator, and the interests of the
entire state would be safe in his hands.
MIR. Wanamaker can well feel compli-
mented by the dattering Endorsement he
received at the hands of his brother mer-
chants of Philadelphia, and their action
will, no doubt, have considerable weight
in the matter of choosing n successor to j.
Dnnnld Cameron Call.

Measures Up to the Standard.

John Wanamaker measures up COM
pletcly to the standard of merit the people
have a right to demand of Senator Cam
eron's successor. He is n citizen OF stain
less character. He is a business man OF
approved ability. Heis a statesman whose
efficiency has already been well tested:
And then he is an earnest Republican and
ALWAYS has been.-Altoona Tribune.

who has not read of and admired the Hon.

the person of the Hon. John Wanamaker,
who has never in his life been connected
with any political clique or ring, whose
entire life has been spent in performing
deeds of Christian charity, and whose ex-

A Comprehensive Statement. "

Says The Delaware Valley Advance:
There is certainly eminent fitness in the
efforts now being made by the Business
Mems League, of Philadelphia. TO promote
the election of a representative business
man Of that city to the United States sem
ate. The reckless manner in which the
mere politicians of tho senate have seri-
ously jeopardized the business interests of
the country has long been one of the ad-
mitted faults of our political system.
Business men have not actively partici-
pated in political affairs, especially in the
primary movements which lead to the
most important political results, and their
neglect of this duty has proved disastrous
in the extreme. 1t is now proposed to ef-
feet n change in this through the efforts of
this league. 1t is now proposed that a
,-siness man shall represent the great in
dustrial interests of this state in the sem
ate. 1t is no reelection upon other candi-
dates who aspire to a position in til senate
to say that Hon. John Wanam: ~ cm-
bodies the best attributes t. mako an
efficient and useful career in ihc &c.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
great financial, commercial. man ctur-
ing and industrial interest in tn, state
His is practical knowledge, acGa -cl by
an active business life that Is most val.
liable in statcsmanship His ability to
defend his convictions in the senate or
elsewhere is spcrSonally krcwn to his fellow
citizens in Pennsylvania rs 4 result of his
great popular addresses delivered TO enor-
nous audiences during the last cam

APPEAL IN HENRY BOLLN CASE
Motion for Dismissal Filed by At
tOrncy General.

Motion for Dismissal Filed by At.
tOrncy General.
An item in the Lincoln dispatches yester-
day morning contained a statement tC
the effect that the attorney general
had moved for dismissal of the
appeal to the supreme court in
the case of Henry Boln, convicted OF
embezzlement while occupying the Office of
city treasurer Of Omaha. 1t was stated that
the ground for the motion was the fact that
the necessary papers in the case had not
been filed within the time fixed by the
supreme court.
j. w. West, one of the attorneys in the
Bolln case, was asked yesterday morn
ing why the appeal had not been
perfected within the necessary time.
He stated that the case had been
delayed by a decision rendered by the
supreme court in the case of Hockenberger
against the state, The papers had all been
ready to file, Mr.. West stated, when the
supreme court handed down a decision in
the case referred to. which opinion had a
most important bearing on the Bolln case.
Hockenberger was treasurer at Grand
Island and was convicted of embeZZlement.
He appealed the case to the supreme court
and the finding OF the lower court was
reversed, the reversal turning on a point
which was an exact parallel with some of the
testimony in the Bolln case. This made II
necessary, the attorney said, to remodel the
brief already prepared and had caused a
delay He said he had no doubt the supreme
court would grant further time for filing the
papers.

rnoupLEs OF THE MyEa FAMILY.
Thcy Are Numerous and of Assorted
Kinds and Sizes.


"Can a man run about the streets with a
gun in his hands ready to shoot any one
he pieases?" demanded Mrs. Nora Myer Of
Chief Of Police sgwart early yesterday
afternoon.
The query was inspired by the refusal Of
the chief and other police officers to arrest
the womans husband without an Information
having been filed. She alleged that at noon
yesterday he rushed into the Office on the
third floor Of the Karbach block, where she
was employed, and threatened TO shoot her.
Jealousy was the motive of the threat.
Mr. and Mrs. Myer were married in Mem
phin Tenn, last May, She alleges that he
told her then that he was quite well-to-do
and fully able to provide for all OF her wants.
After the marriage ceremony he gave her
Sl7 and informed her that he intended to
hustle aud earn some more money. She
Gays that she afterward discovered that Sli
comprised all Of his wealth and that he has
made no effort since to increase 1t.
The Myer case first came under the no.
tice of the police about three months ago,
when the husband wrote IRON Memphis
asking the authorities to locate his wife,
Mrs. Nora Myer and his brother-in-law,
Riley, whom, he wrote, had eloped The
man ana woman were lUNnu bu 4NOINu
Seventeenth street where they resided
under the name of MIR. and Mrs. Riley.
Myer was informed of the fact and asked
that they be sent to the penitentiary at
once, but the police refused to do this with
out his assistance. AS a consequence Myer
came to this city. Instead Of placing him
self in communication with the police, he
went directly to the house where the runa-
way couple were living. They put him of
for a day. and when he returned he found
that they had gone. They were again To-
Gated. this time in the north end of the city.
Myer caused warrants to be issued for their
arrest, charging adultery, but the case was
never prosecuted because he and his wife
made up. Since then they have been living
together on Dodge street. The husband has
not been working, but Mrs. Myer secured
a position with dressmaker In the Kar-
bach block. She says that her husband is
very jealous OF her and has accused her OF
meeting men while she was away osten-
sibly at work. Out Of this Jealousy Myers
act yesterday morning arose.
Both Myer' and his wife have had ex-
tensive matrimonial experience. Myer is
said to have had two wives before both of
whom are dead. Mrs. Myer was married to
man whose name was also Myer BY the
latter she had two children, who are at
present with her mother in Memphis One
OF these children sent a letter to the chief
of police a few days ago. asking IL there
was any truth in the report that the father
was in an insane asylum in this city.
Mrs. Myer has been referred to the legal
department of the city and county with in
structions to cause the arrest of her hus-
band. but she is not inclined to throw him
in Jail.

PROTEST FROM ORGANIZED LABOR
Objections TO Allowing Prisoners to
Remove Cindcrs.

At the meeting of the Board OF Public
Works yesterday forenoon a committee from
Central Labor union, consisting OF A. Miller
and j. c.. Donahue, appeared to protes,
against the practice of allowing the chain
sang to remove. free of charge, cinders from
buildings This was considered antagonistic
to the ethics of organized labor, as 1t pre-
vented men from doing the work who could
earn a little money by it, The chairman
of the board was instructed to put a stop
to the practice.
The board spent over an hour in discussing
the claim OF C. A. Jensen of nearly $4,000
alleged damages on account of the change
OF grade on Lake street. This is an OLD
matter that has been before the board for
over a year and It is now proposed to dis
pose OF II In some way. Jensen was the
contractor on the street and some time after
the contract was let the board decided to
change the grade. Jensen was ordered to
stop work and was kept of the street until
after the change had been effected. He
claimed damages on account of the alleged
fast that his men and teams were kept idle
on account OF the change. for which he was
not responsible. Yesterday morning the
members OF the board expressed themselves
In favor OF allowing Jensen some part of
his claim II IL could be done legally, and
the matter was finally referred to the city
attorney for his opinion.
