The Unappreciated Genius Of Magnus.

Like many other unappreciated pro-
moters OF the true, the good and the
! beautiful, Mr.. MAaNUs A. HESS OF Chicago
| has turned sour. Mr.. HESS has conferred
upon himself the title Of the Original
Mckinley Man" That Is to say, he
started Mckinley Club in Cook county
away back in 1892. His grievance seems
| to be that he has not been appointed
| as Indian Warehouse Commissioner at Chi
cago, or as Paymaster In the army. or as
something else equally as good" Hear
| his own plantive tale. contained in the
voluminous literature which he is circulat'
| ing through the mails. 1t Is accompanied by
AUTOGRAPHED portrait OF a young man with
scanty hair but luxuriant and aggressive
moustache and large allowance Of cam
paign badges. This portrait Is OF MAGNUs
| himself. He saws:
| After all the hard work have done in behalf Of
MoKISLEy the last years. three years
before his nomination. and the money nave
expended and the brain work 1t took to overthrow the
machine and secure his nomination have all been
| overlooked. Other Noodle Jays are getting tho
| credit. It's = shame!"
DO not criticise the grammatical con-
struction OF Mr.. HEsss circular Of protest,
nor his choice Of language. He continues:
"Ihave been urged on before the election OF 1898
and jollied along until now. always having been
promised that would be we'll provided for Pres
dent MCKINLEY ought to be ashamed OF himself. the
way he has treated me, and the Original Mckinley
Boys who have stood by him and done the dirty
work in his hour Of need"
Mr.. HESS publishes in facsimile letters
which he has received from time to time
from Mr. MCKINLEY, Mr.. HOBART, MIR.
HANNA and other statesmen to whom he
has evidently been in the habit OF commu-
nicating his political achievements and his
estimate OF his own public importance The
letters are all polite, but generally non
committal For example, Mr.. MCKINLEY
wrote to Mr.. HESS in May. 1898:
II congratulate you and your friends upon the
means you taking to educate the people In
Republican principles. The watchword OF the
Republicans from now should be education and
organization and il this watchword Is faithfully
applied there can be doubt OF the result at the
next national contest"
And again in January Of 1895:
| Many thanks for your letter of Jan al. with
| enclosure, which have read with pleasure.
The most curious document, however.
which Mr.. MAaNUs A. HESS displays, is
that which Col. BRYAN found time to indte
in the heat Of the military campaign
which engaged all his energies during the
war with Spain:
"DEAn sn: I thank you for your letter with
| papers enclosed. You are certainly active In your
support OF your chosen candidate and should be wsI
| rewarded.
| VERY truly yours.
| WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
| CAMP CuRA LIBRE Fla. July 23. 1925"
Mr.. MCKINLEY has lost one vote that he
had in 1896; but that is only because the
"Original Mckinley Man" self-styled,
happened not to be the right sort OF noodle
lay to hold public Office anywhere outside
Of the Duchy OF Gerolsten.

Young CARTER HARRISON and other Cook
county statesmen are striving to have the next
Democratic National Convention held in Chi
cago. That is the right place for 1t. The Chicago
platform should be reaffrmed in Chicago Col
BRYAN must have fondness for the boards
where he appeared SO triumphantly. The little
controversy between HARRISON and ALTaE1D
should be subject to a truce during the
sessions OF the convention. The new Declara-
tion Of Independence, promulgated in Chicago.
will there be most fttinRy proclaimed again.
And however hot Chicago may be. 1t will seem
cool by the side Of that boiling document.

Will tho German Emperor Clear Up

We are told that an earnest appeal will
be made by the friends OF DREYFUs to

OF procuring the communication OF

that the request will be granted?
1t will be remembered that the bordereau,
which was addressed to Col. SCHWARTZ

OF the Court OF Cessation was penned by
EsTERHAZY contains the statement, II am

DIDN'T ATTEMPT SUICIDE
Beatty Claims He Did Not Try TO Take
His Life.
SAYS HIS WIFE STARTED THE REPORT
Was Only shaving Himscif-Did
Not Take Poison, as Was
Reported.

II did not attempt to commit suicide"
This is the language of Don A. Beatty to
a Post reporter who called at 1912 Congress
street to see him last night for state
ment regarding the report that he had
attempted to end his life by first cutting
his throat with razor, in which he was
unsuccessful, and afterwards by taking a
dose Of poison.
NO" said Mr., Beatty. II had no idea
of taking my life, nor did l attempt to do
So This morning when | started to shave
my wife, who is of an exctable nature,
took it into her head that / was going
to cut my throat and raised big row over
nothing. For some time past have been
brooding over my i'll health and troubles,
and this morning Mrs Beatty and myself
had quarrel which ended in my making
a remark from which she might have in
farred that | was about TO kill myself
when | started to shave, and attempted 10
take the razor from me, at the same time
screaming for help. Several neighbors
rushed in and she told them to hold me,
that | wanted to commit suicide"
But it is said that you took dose of
poison after the razor had been taken
from you remarked the reporter.
That is not So" said Mr.. Beatty, Il
have Just stated that my health has been
bad Tor some time, and for my malady /
have been taking bromidia and nux vom-
lea. The excitement which | had UNDER
gone made me very nervous, and | took
a dose of this medicine to quiet myself.
Being undone and paying but little atten-
ton to tho quantity which | measured out,
| must have poured out too much, and this
was the cause of the doctors being called
in. There was no cause for such a report
to be circulated and | regret that It has
been misstated | did not attempt to cut
my throat nor did take poison. | made
no statement that fricpds were only vast
ing time In trying TO save me, and that
would again attempt to take my life.
There was no reason for such state
ment, as / had not tried TO take my life
nor did | want 70 do So"
Fer several months Mr. BEATTY has
been In the drug business at 1907 Congress
street, and has succeeded fairly well from
a financial view. Prior to this time he
served in the capacity OF clerk for other
drug stores in the city. and is hold in high
