BUTLER STILL KICKING.
Abilene Man Is Making It Warm for
Leedv.

James Butler, whose mouth the Pop
administration sought to seal by Civ
ing him a job as grain weigher under
the inspection department at Kansas
City, Kas., has broken loose again.
Butler is now trying to lead the allied
forces out of the wilderness. His
plan is for them to get together and
hold one big state convention and
nominate a ticket. The would.be
bosses of the Democrat, Populist and
Free Silver parties would have to be
brushed aside, he claims, but he adds,
it is now time for the masses to rise
up and do the job. "Get the bosses
and boodlers out Of the way" says he,
"and the allied forces will soon be
amalgamated into one strong party
The bosses, of course, will oppose it.
They want three separate party or
CARNATIONS, so they can spar for ad-
vantage. What is the use of three
parties with similar principles and
platformsP Only to hold each other
up for official positions. That's all
It's disgusting. ! believe in holding
a convention Of the three elements for
the purpose Of making a call for a
state convention that will be broad
enough to include all the reforms Of
the three parties. | believe in the
adjustment of the metropolitan po-
lice system whose chief DUTY is to
hold up the whisky joints and disord-
erly houses and dlVlde the spolls with
those higher in authority. Its pure
ly a system Of piracy. Under the
present system, If the governor is cor
rupt, boodlers are appointed to prom
inent positions and corruption per-
meates all the state institutions and
every avenue Of the state. We should
amend our laws so that the railroad
commissioners, members Of the state
board Of charities, warden Of the pen
itentiary and coal oil inspector should
be elected"

1t is probable that burglars have
never regarded corpulent defenders Of
the home with any degree of terror.
But early on recent morning a bur-
glar entered the room Of George Kuntz,
Of Grove street, Jersey City, and imme-
diately began to examine the contents
Of the bottom drawer Of the bureau, and
was upon his hands and knees when
Mr.. Kunta awoke. Mr.. Kuntz, being a
heavyweight, quietly placed a chair
over the head and shoulders OF the bur.
glar and sat on the chair, and the strug.
giles Of the burglar to free himself were
useless. In the meantime Mrs. Kuntz
opened the window and called the po-
lice.

REV. Mr.. BoLGRR LEAVES.


The climax Of . peculiar series Of
events occurred this morning when
Rev. J. G. Bolger, pastor Of the Re-
formed churches Of Abilene and En-
prise, resigned his position and took
the train for bis parents home in
Martinsburg, Pa, there to remain.
Mr.. Bolger came here about eighteen
month. ago, having recently gradu.
ated from college and his work gave
promise CT a successful ministerial
career. He Is q hard student and
one Of the finest pianists ever heard
in the city. He was popular In
church circles and in demand socially
for his gift Of music and pleasing ad-
dress. Last Saturday evening he at
tended the Evangelical church reviv.
al meetings and after Rev. Mr.. Car
radine's sermon surprised all by 60
ing to the altar. He remained there
until after midnight, being almost
physically exhausted much Of the
time, and then protested having re-
ceived entire sanctitication and holi-
ness. He announced that he was led
to give up his music and to cease
preaching from manuscript. An at
tempt at the latter on Sunday in his
own church was not a success and his
acceptance of doctrines foreign to
those Of his church made it impossi.
BILE for him to remain. Hence after
consultation today's action was taken.
Overwork and illness have under
mined Mr.. Bolger's health and his
friends consider that much Of his err
ratio course is attributable thereto.
1t is however to be regretted and it is
hoped that home life and mothers
care will do much for the young man.

The Warner Comedy Co. had an
other good performance last night
with mountain play. There was
lot Of excellent specialties also that
attracted applause from the audience.

it.
A novelty was introduced last night
in the appearance Of two months
old actor. On the bills crying baby
was listed for the last act and the
baby and its mother came early to
enjoy the preceding scenes. But the
baby was in q hurry to 40 Its turn on
the stage and early in the perform
snce commenced to cry. 1t cried
hard, too, and nothing could stop it.
The mother took it out until the last
act when it appeared on the stage and
cried to Its hearts content. 1t was
the most natural actor OF the COM
,pany and seemed entirely free from
embarrassment in giving its part Of
the program.

The Siren of the Melon.

The following story Of Arnold Beech
lin. the Swiss painter is told in the
German papers: In the early part of
his career he was commissioned To
paint a "still-life" for an art-lover Of
Basic. The picture. consisting of sew
eral sorts OF fruit. among them large
melon, was refused. The painter took
1T home and, wishing to utilize his can
vas, began TO scrape it with a knife.
The small fruits rapidly disappeared,
but when it came to scraping off the
melon BOechlin stopped, feeling as II
The were about to commit homicide.
HE had not the courage to accomplish
1.-THE sacrifice. a bright idea dawned
upon him. He seized Il brush and
turned the melon into siren swim
Inning under water. The effect pro-
|duced seemed to the artist wonderful.
Since then he has painted many sirens,
but his fayOrite is the one that came,
many years ago, from an idealiZed
melon.
