Robert MeCIeIIand Put in Jail for
Assembling His Wife.

Robert McClelland stirred up a lively
family row at his home, 40 South Wash
ington avenue, Sunday. and was yester-
day put in the county Jail on the charge
of wife beating. Last night he is re-
ported to have asked the court to allow
him to plead guilty to a charge Of as
saulting his wife. Mrs. McClelland made
the complaint against her husband yes
terday, saying at the time that she was
afraid he would kill her. She said he
had threatened to blow up the house with
dynamite. The police say McClelland Is
a curious fellow. He shoots a revolver
off nearly every time he gets angry. A
few weeks ago he became offended at
some trivial matter and in his foolish
desire to injure something went out and
chopped his own wagon to pieces. The
wagon was almost a new one.

I will mention but one more. The

about l per cent / believe. The only

TWO VIEWS OF THE FILIPINos.


Two widely differing views respecting
the Fihpinos and the war in the Philip
pines were given publicity on same day
and in the same newspapers day or TWO
ago. One was by Brig. Gen. Frederick Fun

lands; the other was by Archbishop Cha

His Wife Liked Perfumery.

The guard on an elevated railway sta
ton on the Fifth avenue side of the loop
noticed the other evening a man who ap-
peared to be a little unsteady on his feet
balancing around one of the slot machines
on the platform for quite time, says the
Chicago Daily News
After several trains had passed he step
ped up TO see what was going on. AS he
approached his nostrils were greeted with
odor of perfumery so strong that it
nearly upset him
Here, what are you doing there?" he
called sharply to the man.
"Perfumin' my whiskers, you chump."
was the shouted reply. Cant you let a
gentleman attend to his toilet without mix
ing up in it yourself?"
And that was precisely what he had
been trying to do. His pockets were evil
IDENTITY stocked with a supply of pennies
and he had been stuffing them into the
machine as fast as he could, allowing the
perfume to trickle on his clothes and the
platform around him.
When the guard finally induced him to
stop he confded to him that he had been
out seeing the illumination" with party
of friends, and the reason he wanted to
perfume his whiskers was to prevent trou-

Reports from cotton mills, wherever they
