The jersey City Nems thinks that
Robert Gwynne, Jr., should be nom.
mated for State Senator by the Salem
County Democrats, as a requisite for
success. He ran against great odds
and public sentiment in 1898 and was
defeated by only 81 votes. But, things
are different now. This would pre-

then the news comes by the way of
Trenton that Senator Richard Miller is

the cause Of F. A. WadIeighs resigna-

as it was known that he stood high
In the estimation of the company, and
there was no reason patent to his ac-
quaintances here. 1t is said, however,
that there has recently been some fric-
ton between the general passenger
agent and Traffic Manager Babcock
growing out of social matters. Mr..
Babcock recently married into one of
the leading wealthy families of Salt
Lake City, and he is inclined to enter
into society there with a good deal of
enthusiasm. Mr.. Wadeigh is also a
society man of the best standing in
Salt Lake City, as he was when he
lived in Denver.

A TEST CASE.
c. w. Fisher Was Found Guilty An
Appeal Taken.


Attorney j. N. Kirk, who appears for
c. w. Fisher in case in which Fisher
was arrested for peddling without a
license, proposes to make test case to
determine whether or not a man can
be compelled to pay two licenses for
conducting one business. The case was
tried in the police court yesterday and
Mr.. Kirk stated that his client had a
merchandising license and, In his judg-
ment, is not required by the law to
take out another license in order to
peddle. For the purpose of making a
test Mr.. Kirk put in no defense and.

and fined $40, took an appeal
Isaac Attler, the young fellow who at
tempted to swindle an unsophisticated
woman out of 500 worth of property on
a SO loan about 10 days ago and who
got off very lightly by simply being
convicted of doing a pawnbroking bust
ness without a license, settled his fine
yesterday. He originally gave notice
of appeal, but came to the conclusion
the cheaper plan would be to pay his
fine and accordingly Lawyer Brodie APP
peared in court yesterday. True to the
instinct of the class, however, he drove
a compromise bargain and profited SIS
by inducing Judge Sullivan to throw off
that amount, and he was only required
to pay S25.

DRIVEN FROM SPOKANE.
Many of the Disreputable Women Are
Coming to Butte.

Coming to Butte.
Butte is receiving a new influx of
frail women, according to the Spokane
papers. They are being driven out of
that city and the Chronicle says the
majority of them have left for Butte.
Mayor Comstock's efforts toward a
moral reform in this city have been
effective" says the Chronicle. He has
accomplished as much as he stated he
would, and the figures of the police de-
partment for the past month show this
to be a fact.
THE women of bad character are
leaving Spokane. They have found
that the restrictions placed upon their
pursuits in this city are too severe and
they have gone to other places. There
were only % women of the town fined
in the police court last month. This
fine was paid in June for the month of
May. The number of fines paid by wo-
men of the town in April was twice that
amount.

my head out Of the open window and
