A GOVERNMENT JOB.
saps the Energy of Its Holder and
Induces LnZineHs,

The narcotic effect of government employ
ment is notorious, but as in other cases, the
victim OF the sedative habit does not be-
lieve and cannot realize its power until it is
too late.
There is certain fascination to the old
and hardened to watch the young struggle
against their fate. observes an exchange.
The same sensations may be secured by OBJ
serving the operations OF sheet of fly paper
The victim Is foot loose" and is looking
around for a favorite opening. In the mean
time 1t seems desirable TO have some tenn
porary lodgment-standing room, as it were
until the delayed opening appears. So the
fly steps into the soft government stickum.
At first it does not seem so bad, and it is
only when he feels his feet sinking that he
decides TO quit. But this he finds is not so
easy. He pauses and begins to cast about
for little leverage or way to wade out.
In the operation he tangles up another mem
Der or two. BY this time he suspects that
the danger is serious and buzzes frantically.
The result is the same, and while he is rest
ing from the eXertion he tangles up one wing
The other waves for while, the emblem of
disappointed and hopeless ambition, now
and then buzzlng about the time to come
when he will quit the government fly paper
and enter business or a profession. Then
he rents a larger house and his wife takes
few friends to board. His body is sub
merged in the government glue and he is in
the government service for life.
AS secretary OF the civil service commits
sion Mr.. Doyle has had opportunity to OBJ
serve the number of government employees
who leave the service for other occupations
and then return to II. "A few years ago."
said Mr. Doyle, my attention was called to
a man by the excellence Of the examination
which he passed He secured the place. but
after year or so he resigned. He had saved
money and was going to Yale college After
four years heard he had graduated and was
studying Law, Then heard he had been ad-
mitted and had gone to New York to prac-
tiee. And just the other day" he continued,
"the man came in and made application TO
take the examination for his old place in the

DAN BALDWIN BESTS GROVE
Heavyweight Omaha Policeman Retains the
Wrestling Championship,
TAKES TWO FALLS OUT OF MIKE GROVE
Interesting Exhibition of Muscle is
Given ut Washington Hall-Bracc
of Boxing Contests is
Pulled on.

Dan Baldwin was the victor in a wrestling
match over Mike Grove of South Omaha in
an exhibition which was witnessed by
large crowd of Omaha and South Omaha
sportsncn at Washington hall Thursday
evening. The contest lasted for three
rounds In the FIRST Grove succeeded in
flooring the popular wrestler of Omaha's
police force in 13 minutes and II seconds. In
the second and third rounds Baldwin showed
his superiority His opponent was COM
pletely exhausted by reason of his exertion
in the first round and Baldwin had no diff
ficulty in throwing him. The second round
lasted II minutes and 4 seconds and the
third round was completed in / minute.
Baldwin was backed by j. j. Shannon OF
Omaha and Grove by Ed Welch of South
Omaha Messrs Shannon and Welch as
serted their faith in the ability of the men
whom they were backing by putting up a
considerable sum of money on the contest.
Other betting INDUCED in by the sportsmen
was somewhat limited, owing to the general
belief that Grove would be unable to wrest
away from Baldwin the laurels which he has
gained in many past contest. Buck Keith
presided over the exhibition as referee and
Frank b. Moore was the timekeeper.
Prior to the wrestling match there were
two boxing contests. The first was between
Fred Payne and Mike Brown, two local
colored lads, and lasted three rounds. The
other was four-round contest between Paul
Murray, an Omaha colored lad, and Jim
Mason of Kansas City. Both were clever ex-
hibitions of the boxers art and were greatly
enjoyed by the spectators.
BY peculiar coincident there was another
athletic carnival scheduled in Omaha last
night. 1t was at Creighton hall, where a
bill was advertised including boxers hailing
from Maine to California. Owing to the
wrestling match at Washington hall the in
terest of Omaha sportsmen was somewhat
divided and the fstic carnival was postponed
until November 10, because of the small at
tendance On that date the promoters of the
ai1alr promise to present to Omaha sports
men a bill of boxing events which will
awaken their interest to the utmost.

STATE OFFENDERS ON TRIAL
Senate Sits in Judgment on the Con-
duct of Deroulede ana
Fourteen Others.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Crowds began to assem-
Bile today in the vicinity of the Luxembourg
palace at about noon, in anticipation
OF the opening Of the state trial in the sem
ate. The police formed a Gordon around the
building. Traffic was not interrupted. The
police prevented factional gatherings around
the leaders OF the anti-semites, nationalists
and monarchsts who were present. There
was a slight incident on the appearance of
Henri Rochefort, who received an ovation
amidst shouts OF hostility for the members
OF the high court.
The fifteen men accused, who had been
conveyed to cells in the senate house during
the morning, were all conducted to their
places by republican guards.
When NJ. Fallieres, president of the SEN
ate, followed by the law officers, took his
seat at 1 o'clock the names of the senator's
wers called. Fifteen of them failed to
answer. NJ. Fallieres then called the names
OF the defendants and all replied. M. De-
roulede, replying to the usual question as
to his profession, said: Defender of the
rights OF the people," An usher then read
tho long indictment, to which the audience
paid little attention.
The Senate adjourned the public hearing
until tomorrow and deliberated behind
closed doors on the question whether the
senators who were absent at the opening
of the sitting could be allowed to take part
in the future proceedings. 1t was finally
decided, by vote of $50 to 160, to exclude
the absent senators.
During the sessions today the witnesses,
who number 400, having created an uproar,
were expelled in punches of ten. The spec
tators left the palace without any untoward
incident occurring.

gratuations on the new acquisition, begging
his majesty to be pleased to accept the as
