Mark Twain on interviewing.

Mark Twain does not like to be inter-
viewed. His opinion of the literary
ability of the average interviewer is not
at all flatteripg to the latter either. In
talk with Rudyard Kipling, Mark
Twain once said: 81 think the poorest
article ever wrote and destroyed was
better worth reading than any interview
with me that ever was published.
would like just once to interview my
self, so as to show the possibilities of
the interview. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

President and Cashier Under Bonds to
Answer to Embezzlement.
WEBSTER CITY, Nov. 27.-A sensation
has been caused at Eagle Grove, north
of this place, by the arrest of Jerry Fitz-
maurice, president of the First National
bank of that city, and Hugh Donley,
cashier, on the charge of embezzlement
J. o. Lines and wife left Eagle Grove
some days ago to escape the execution of
several judgments. They did not pay
about $50 in rent to Mr.. Fitzmaurice
He tried to settle with them at Fort
Dodge, where they had gone, but finally
had Judgment rendered against them
for $40. Mr.. Lines had 500 deposited in
President Fitzmaurice's bank, and held
a certificate of deposit for it.
Cashier Donley consulted the banks
attorney and was told to take the GER
tificate as security when it came in. He
notified the banks at home and at Fort
Dodge not to cash it and to waive it. f.
L. Walton presented it and asked for
the money. Donley told him
there was only $50 due on
it and explained the Judgment. Wal
ton refused the $50 and asked for the
certificate returned. This Donley re-
fused, but offered to give him receipt
for it. This was finally given and the
parties separated. Then Walton went
before justice of the peace and swore
out warrant for both Donley and Fitz-
maurice on charge of embezzlement.
The president and cashier were placed
under bonds to appear at the prelim.
mary trial next Tuesday.

HUNTERS FIND YowELL's BODY.
Sidney's Defaulting Postmaster Thought
to Have Tnken Poison.

Siuhoy
to Have Taken Poison.
TABOR, Ia. Nov. 20.-While out hunt
ing near Sidney two boys discovered the
badly decomposed body of man. which,
upon investigation, proved to be that of
Moses Vowel, who disappeared from
Sidney about two months ago. Vowel
was postmaster at Sidney, and the post
office authorities, suspecting that all
was not correct in that Office, sent an in
spector to investigate the matter, who
discovered shortage of about
$500. Vowel stated that he had the
money at his house, and was
allowed to go after it, but failed to re-
turn. No marks of violence were found
upon the body and it is presumed that
he took poison. No man in Fremont
county stood higher in public esteem
than Mr.. Vowel, and after his disap-
pearance the citizens of Sidney petit
toned for and succeeded in having his
daughter appointed to fill the vacancy.
He carried about $4,000 life insurance.

Chicago. Oct. 11.-Chicago, day, the
anniversary of the great fire of twenty
five years ago. and the day of record
breaking attendance at Ii worlds
fair three years ago., was celebrated
chiefly as a political holiday. Repub-
leans and Democrats celebrated sep
arately. Each party had its W street
parade, as well as monster gatherings
indoors. Practically every factory and
store in the city was closed. as also
was the board of trade and banks.
From early morning the streets We're

struggling to gain some point of want
age. The procession Of Republican
clubs was the first feature of the days
celebration. After 8 o'clock the street
cars or vehicles were not allowed in
the down town districts, the streets
being entirely given up to sight seers
and marcherS.
The weather was ideal; not q cloud
flecked the sky, and a southeast wind.

bracing, blew with sufficient force to
keep tluttering thousands OF flags.
hanging from windows and doors and
across the streets. Bands of all sorts
and conditions played all sorts of
music. Scores of uniformed clubs
gave color to the scene Innumerable
floats, representing all kinds OF trades
and business organizations were one
of the features of the parade. Thou
sands of strangers were in town. Ev-
cry railroad running excursion trains
from points within a radius OF 100
miles, and these trains, packed with
out-Of-tOwn Sight-seerS. kept coming
through the night and early morning
hours.
For such an immense crowd the pro-
cession was admirably handled. Start
ing from the corner of Michigan ave
nue. and Van Buren, street, the process
sion wound its way through all the
streets between Van Buren, and Lake,
Michigan avenue and Market street,
finally disbanding at Market and jack
son streets. One Of the unique eatures
of the celebration was the immense
transmitterS stationed at different
parts of the march. These were con
nected with long-distance telephone
wires, and as the shouting, cheering
mobs passed their "'rahs" for Mckin-
ley and Hobart were heard by these
gentlemen in Canton and Paterson.
Later the free silver men had their
innings. A procession was formed Of
free silver clubs, which marched over
practically the same route. The two
principal celebrations, aside from the
parades. We're scheduled for the Au-
ditorium and Tattersalls. For the Re-
publicans Chauncey Nj. Depew spoke

attraction was the famous silver CEN
ator, Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado.
