AN IMPOSTOR EXPOSED.
A Begging Hobo Who Carried His Arm
in a Plaster Bandage.

All sorts Of tricks and devices to ap-
peal to the sympathies of the tender
hearted public are resorted to by the
hobos and beggars at present infesting
the streets of the city, and the ruses are
generally successful. Last night one
of these impostors came to grief, how
chance to earn his daily bread with a
pick and shovel in the chain gang, in
stead of posing as an unfortunate Grip
pie in dire need of assistance.
Officer Vignes early last evening OBJ
served fellow with his left arm in a
sling holding up pedestrians on North
Spring street and soliciting aims. He
watched the man for awhile and became
convinced from his actions that the fell
low was physically all right, as, when he
thought himself unobserved. the sup
posed crippled arm was used as freely
as the other. The man was arrested and
taken to the police station.
Here he gave his name as w. j. Rog
ers, and said he was 10 years old. His
left arm, which was encased from the
wrist to the elbow in a plaster of paris
bandage or cast. had been badly
sprained, and he was unable to use 1t
at all. This fairy tale would not go
with Clerk Gridley, who ordered Rogers
taken into the receiving hospital and
the arm examined. When the hospital
steward commenced to unroll the ban
dage, Rogers howled and yelled that he
was being killed. but as soon as con-
vinced that his bluff would not work, he
came boldly out and confessed that there
was nothing the matter with him. and
that the bandage was put on as blind
to enable him to do successful begging.
The bandage was stripped off, the
arm examined. and then Rogers went
into cell for the night. He will be tried
in the police court today before Justice
Rossiter, who has of late created con-
sternation among the hobos in Pasa-
dena, sending fourteen in two days to
the county Jail for various terms

AN IMPORTANT MATTER

Every voter who is interested in hav-
ing an honest. and business-like admin
istration of the municipal government
should take an active part in the cam
paign. There is struggle on between
those who would have the affairs of the
city managed for and in the interest Of
all the people and a would-be monopoly.
The water-railway combine will leave no
stone unturned to elect Mr.. Martin.
The combine knows if Mr.. Snyder is
elected its water plant cannot be un-
times it's value, and hence it will move
heaven and earth to defeat him.
The combines organ is favoring mu
nicipai ownership of the water supply
system, but it is also advocating the
election Of the combines candidates,
which means that If they are elected
the city will pay whatever the water
company asks for its plant No sane
man believes the water company's agents
not the public driven them to it. What
the combine really wants is the renewal
of its franchise for long term of years.
and the next best thing Is to make the
city pay two or three times more for it's
plant than it would cost to duplicate it.
The people will make mistake if they
think the whole matter rests upon the
proposition to buy the old or construct
a new plant. The combine hopes that
If 1t can elect it's full ticket a scheme
may be worked to secure an extension
of its monopoly for a quarter of CEN
tury or more. The combine has all to
gain and nothing to lose in its struggle
for supremacy in the city government,
and it will be in the field early and late
for votes The combine hopes enough
people will stay away from the polls to
give its candidates the most votes, and
when 1t cannot capture votes it will
work to destroy interest in the issue by
advocating municipal ownership, but
the people may rely upon it that the
combines strikers will not be idle. 1t

OUTWITTING THE SCALPERS.

John Sebastian, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Rock Island railway,
has invented a new railroad coupon

a double check on itself. 1t is twice the
width of the coupon now in use. per-

tears it in two on this line and has a

which the ticket reads. At the foot Of

AN AFTER-ELEcTIoN ADMISSION

The boarding of $10O,0OOoo0 of gold
means the loss of s4,000,000 year inter-

the reserve it means that the prnci-
pal and interest of such bonds amount in
the aggregate, on 4 per cent bonds run

the sum of money received for the bonds

him fall and that he had gone under the
wheels was unknown to his companions
until the yard watchman discovered the
body. 1t is probable that Carter as the
train pulled in tried to pass between the
cars to be on the right hand or near side
when he got Off, ana wniie stepping on
the bumpers slipped and fell between
the rails. His chest was crushed, the
neck and right arm broken, death hav-
ing evidently been instantaneous.
A verdict of accidental death was rem
dered by the jury, no blame being at
tached to the railroad company or any
of its employees.

To reporter he said that he had no

least 100 Democrats declare for McKin-

out early and it was said would meet
