HERO OF KILLASWINE
 A CHICAGO ROMANCE
CHAPTER I.

Birdie Kildoogin was idyllic; her etherial nature scared far over things sublunary, and the higher it got the soarer 1t got For her the spiritual essence of materialized harmonious existences spoke in weird mys- terious whisperings, waking on her milk rose cheek a blush faint and pure as that which rose leaf might cast upon marble. Life, with her, was one grand pecan moving along with the caressing flow of the best-rendered oleaginous goose grease.

CALLED OUT.
Union Men Employed BY Edwin
Myers Action Taken,

At a meeting of the Allied Printing
Trades Council Friday night, a reso-
luton was adopted placing the job
printing establishment of Edwin
Myers under ban. 1t is claimed that
1t was principally through his efforts
that the resolution presented to the
Board of Education, asking that the
union label be put on all printing of
the Board, was defeated.
"This positive action" said prom
inent member of the union today,
"has only been resorted to after all
reasonable and courteous methods
have failed. Committees have been
sent to talk with Mr.. Myers relative
to his using the label, but he prefers
to do without it,
The union men were called out of
the shop today.

they have never sworn allegiance.
And vet the leaders of the Hanna
party apply that term to the Fill
pinos fighting for their native land
and liberty. and all Americans who
express an opinion different from
that of the Hanna Administration,
are called traitors. copperheads and
enemies of their country's flag. Was
it perhaps fear of being called such
that kept Geo. K. Nash from express
ing his opinion here in Akron last
Saturday?
ITO ANNEX contiguous, homogen-
Gus territory to be inhabited by
Americans and become an integral
portion of the Union of States is ex-
pansion, but to cross an ocean to con-
quer an alien people to be held as
subjects and governed by the doc
trine of might is Imperialism.
If had been elected in 1896, and had
proceeded to trample on the Decla-
ration of Independence and carry on
a war of conquest for the greed of
gain, there is not Republican in
Nebraska who would have refrained
from crying out and denouncing me
as traitor to my country. w. J.

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS.

Without even trying to ascertain
the facts, the Beacon charged the
DEMOCRAT last night with violating
the postal laws by sending political
supplements to its subscribers
through the mails.
AS usual, the Beacon lied.
The DEMOCRAT tells all about the
matter in it's news columns today.
The Democratic cause in Summit
county and Ohio is not in such des-
perate straits that the DEMOCRAT
must break the laws to help it along
If the Beacon has any fairness left
1t will acknowledge that in charging
the DEMOCRAT with breaking the
postal laws it simply jumped at con-
clusions not supported by the facts.
