CLEARLY OUTDONE.
One Last Desperate Effort Was Made
to Save Their Bacon, Hut With

Delegates. They Brazenly Ende,i-
vOr to Tiwart the Will of the
Majority. -..2 :

desperate deeds require desperate
! chances" This seemed to be the spirit
that prompted Chairman A. p. Cook,
| of the late st. Louis County Republi-
can committee to endeavor to thwart
the will of the majority of the dele
gates, in the election of a chairman
of the Republican county convention
on Thursday.
Beaten back in every fray the old
machine made one last desperate
chance to keep control of the organi-
zation. Every aspirant for a county,
office was sacrificed in order that the
Wilcuts, Getty, Cook gang might still
hold their power. Their idea was to
name the chairman of the convention,
so that they could name the delegates
to the state convention and the next
county committee, and thus keep con-
troll of the organization. The names of
Senator Hawkins and E. L. Milar were
presented for chairman of the conVen-
ton. The former by the machine, and
the later by the anti-machine element.
A standing vote was taken, and it was
clear to any observer that Mr.. Millar
secured the greater number of votes,
but without even announcing the re-
suit of his count Chairman Cook de-
clared Senator Hawkins elected. There
was an immediate uproar. Delegates
arose in their chairs, yelled, Kissed and,
uttered other sounds of disaproval It
was really an exciting time. All past
Populist records for noise and com
motion were broken.
1t was sometime before quiet was
restored, and after a lengthy discus
sion ballot was taken and Mr.. Millar
declared elected by a vote of 81 to 70.
All through the hall delegates and
visitors gathered in little knots and
discussed Mr.. Cooks ruling. All
seemed Of the opinion that Mr.. Cook
has forever surrendered all chances
for any further consideration whatever
from the people of st. Louis county.
His integrity is questioned. He sac
riiced his reputation to save the ma
chine, of which he. has been willing
cog, from absolute destruction.
There may be many underhanded,
dishonest schemes in politics, but the
people are honest, and will not for a.

ray, DishOnOr In 1872. Now a Reg
ular Campaign Expense.
"Campaign orators in the service of
the national committees are we'll paid
for their work. This is not generally
understood, and it was not the case
until comparatively recent years. In
the earlier days they usually rendered
volunteer service. So universal was the
custom that discredit attached in the
public mind to political speaker who
received compensation. In the cam
paign of 1872 Carl >Schurz, then a SEN
ator from Missouri, was charged with
having been paid 5000 a speech for his
advocacy of the election of Horace
Greeley. The charge made something
OF a scandal at the time, and although
Schurz denied the payment of this
specific sum, he was never able wholly
to clear himself Of the taint which was
supposed to attach to receiving any pay
whatever. He had bitter contro-
versy with Roscoe Conkling in the SEN
ate about it, during which Conkling, in
his supercilious way, expressed his con-
tempt of the practice Of which he
thought Schurz had been guilty. Now
adays campaign speaking has become a
matter of regular employment: al
though, of course, payment is by no
means universal, and the most, con-
spicuous orators-especially those who
hold a high place in the party--render
volunteer service, and will accept Moth
ing beyond their travelling and hotel
expenses. The men in charge of a
presidential campaign prefer to pay on
the spot for what they get This is far
better than to leave obligations out
standing to be satisfied in the distri-
button of offices after the election.
"The ordinary campaign speaker re-
ceives $50 speech and his expenses.
It is said that in the campaign Of 1896
one very effective and brilliant gold
Democratic orator was paid 5000 a
speech by the Republican national com-
| mittee. This represents the high water
mark in paymentsaof this kind. In
some cases those who do not receive 9
stipulated price expect 'honorariums,
(which really amountHto the same thing,
and which sometimes reach high fig
ures. The day Of volunteer work for
national commit ttees seems to have
passed. The men employed at head
Igquarters OF amy party are paid as reg
lularly and al generally as ! Il they were
any other Seinpl loyment.' q.

MAKES MONEY RAISING CORY.
w. ;. Jones of South Dakota Hos
Cleared Up T7O,Ol,O by Farming.

l
| Twenty years On a South Dakota
farm and $4,000 to show for it is the
experience of w. S. Jones, commonly
called Corn JONES'" of Parker. Mr..
Jones is naturally an enthusiast on the
SUBJECT OF South Dakota, and tells with
much gusto the story of his own sue
cess since leaving Wisconsin in 1859.
For year after leaving his own state
he wandered over the Northwest. and
finally made up his mind that South
eastern Dakota was the most likely
place to yield a competence. He re-
lates his experience as follows:
I'm the summer of 1870 7
| took up a claim, built sod
house, put on dirt roof, and started
| to break up the prairie. The next
summer was very dry, and in the fall
the weeds were so high on my dirt
roof that when on the roof I could not
reach the tops. The fact that these
weeds would grow so luxuriantly in
so dry and hot a season on a roof with
no water, and a fire to cook the under
side, impressed me. I came to the
conclusion that the soil and climate
would produce corn.
AS soon rs I could get the soil in
condition I commenced trying to raise
corn. l sent south and got some big
horse-tooth seed and planted eighteen
acres. It grew lcXuriantly, and prom
ised a big yield, but frost in the last
day of August nipped it in the milk,
and that seasons crop was a. failure:
Next t.yearsIs alr got earl lier corn and raised
go6u crop. ,T,fie bof est yfefd hava'
ever had was thirty five bushels to the
acre, and have raised as high as
eighty bushels. Last year I had three
pieces planted to corn. The poorest
yielded forty-one, the second fifty-six
and the third sixty-six bushels to the
acre. This is shelled corn. There is
no trouble almost any year in getting
from thirty-five to fifty bushels with
good farming. 1 admit that we cannot
| raise quite such large ears here as in
southern Illinois, Missouri and Kan
sas, but we can raise a better ear, one
which contains more fatty matter than
| theirs, and will put more fat on a hog.
The average length of an ear here will
run from seven to twelve inches, and
I
from twelve to sixteen rows of corn.
Il have described the ability of this
country to raise corn. AS corn is the
basis Of hog raising, where the one is
successful the other is likely to be.
Now this country has particular ad-
vantages for the raising Of hogs. In
the first place, the corn is more fatten-
ing and can be raised very cheaply, at
about cents per bushel. The climate
is especially healthy for hogs, and the
meat of very fine quality. Our pork
always sells at the top notch. The
farmers who have gone into corn and
hog raising with energy and intelli-
|gence have made money rapidly. Being
the first man in this part Of the coun-
try to advocate this plan, I have gone
by the name of Corn Jones' for years,
and in the early days was the butt of
lany amount of ridicule. But I will say
my success was mainly due to corn
land hog raising. I came here twenty
Ieight years ago with a team and
wagon and $50 in money. Today 1 am
lrated as worth $70,000."-Ex.

Railway Station Gateman. .
A few minutes before the afternoon
train from New York got into the
pennsylvania station the other day a
beautiful young creature in a new
spring suit waited herself over to the
man stationed at the exit gate and
proceeded to hypnotize him.

she said appealingly.
Cant do it, miss, it's against the
rules" said the man at the gate.

he gets off," said the beauteous young
thing, looking into the - mans face
searchingly with her imploring violet
eyes. "And he will be SO disappointed
if I am not right at the gate to meet
him when the train gets in.''
The man at the gate looked and
hesitated.

ture, rustling her silk skirts nervously,
and seeming to hang on the gateman's
mod. -s.
"Well, maybe I can take a chance"
said the gateman, and he pulled the
gate open and admitted her.
"S'pose she's only been married a
short time,'' reflected the gateman,
"and her husbands coming back after
being away for the first time after
they were spliced, and she wants to
hand him out the big hug before he's
more'n landed, from the car steps.
2lWell, guess we all have it that bad,
once in our lives anyway" and he
looked thoughtfully down the siding
where the radiant young creature stood
|impatiently stamping her foot. III -
The train pulled in a couple of min
lutes after. The young woman ran
alongside the baggage car and the
baggag agemaster handed her out a mis-
Ierable little specimen of stuck-up,
hideous-muzzled pug dog, which she
took in her arms and loaded down with
fcaresses. .;e = .s:s*- .ts.. "
/ AS she passed out of the exit gate
with the pug in her arms, she bestowed
a :bewitching smile on the gateman.
"And I was come-on enough to pass

DEPUTY WAS DISCHARGED.
w. n. Nathans Dismissed From the
Service OF the City Court.

w. R. Nathans, deputy sheriff of the
City Court, has been notified by Sheriff
Whelan that his services are no longer re-
quired. and that from yesterday he may
consider himself an applicant for another
position. The sheriff puts the discharge
of his deputy on the ground of intoXica-
ton in office hours; the deputy says it is
due to politics.
The letter from Sheriff Whelan TO his
former deputy states in effect that the
latter has been demonstrated with a num-
Der of times for his proneness TO indulge
in the flowing bowl at hours and under
circumstances that rendered the dis
charge of his regular duties more or less
impossible. The letter says the deputy
was Sin the same fix yesterday morning,
and concludes with a dismissal.
Nathans says he was discharged from
his office because of politics. and his
avowed preference for the Citizens Club
faction in local politics. He claims that
he has never been SO drunk that he was
not equal to the discharge of his duties
He's said that he intends to ap
peal his case from the decision of the
sheriff to Judge Norwood, and entertains
no doubt of his ability TO make his posi-
ton good and to force the sheriff to re-
engage him on the same Old terms.
olISl Ill w mean IepuulileS any CudISo
that the dismissal of Nathans has a po-
litical significance. He had been spoken
to a number of times because of his
drinking, the sheriff says, and been
warned that 1t would not be permitted to
continue. His exploits of yesterday morn
ing were but eliminating features to an
old, old story. 1t was a question of eff
cheney and propriety in the discharge of
public duty Nathans had destroyed
whatever he originally possessed of the
one and violated and disregarded the
other and the sheriff dispensed with his
services. This, Sheriff Whelan says, is
