SUIT WITHDRAWN.
Mrs. Mcpherson and Attorney Brooks
Agree on Settlement.

The suit which was recently brought
by Mrs. J. II. Mcpherson against F. NJ.
Brooks, the attorney. for $3.50 which
she was alleged TO have given or loan
ed him has been withdrawn.
The case had some curious features
as IL was charged by Mrs. Mcpherson
that she leaned Brooks the money that
he might go to Manila and set up law
practice there. According to the tale
of Miss Gertrude Mckeig. who was
Mrs. McPherson's confdant and most
important witness, Mrs. Mcpherson
had intended to go to Manila as soon
as Brooks was well settled there to be
married to him. But they had a dis
agreement and Brooks came back from
Manila. while Mrs. Mcpherson trans
ferred her affections to Mr.. Mcpherson
The suit followed. and now, as both
parties seem TO have wearied OF the
notoriety IL has obtained they have
compromised.

put restrictions upon the number of Jap

TEST VOTE FAVORS DEMOCRACY
Bryan Will Carry Chicago by "a
600 plurality According to
Poll Made by Sworn
CanNasSerS

Bryan will carry the city of Chicago.
His plurality is likely to be more than
"a 900 votes, or one-fourth greater than
McKinley'sin in 1896. The Chicago Amer
ican has made a great poll of the
voters. The returns leave no doubt
that the Democratic presidential ticket
will sweep the city. A revolution of
opinion has followed the Mckinley ad.
ministration. The facts are at hand.
The figures, it is believed, are sound.
The vote was taken upon greater
scale, with greater care and with the
observance of better and more intelli.
gent methods than ever before employ.
ed in similar work. Fifty canvassers,
carefully chosen and sworn as to the
accuracy Of their figures, reached more
than 10000 voters with this inquiry:
For whom will you vote for
President"
This is the result: For Bryan,
80. ego; For mckinley, 2O,436.
Total, 5l,O96. Bryan over Nc
kinley, 1O,224.
The estimate of Bryan's majority is
made by comparison of this vote with
the vote of Bryan and Mckinley in this
city in 1896 and the estimated vote for
the coming election. The presidential
vote Of Chicago in 1896 was divided be-
tween these candidates as follows: Nc.
kinley. 2ol ,o74, Bryan, 1l4.77o. Total,
345, ,s44. Mckinley over Bryan, 56,3O4.
A comparison of the Americans s bal.
lot with the vote of Bryan and McKin-
ley in Chicago in 1896 would indicate a
majority for Bryan over Mckinley of
1920. The total vote of 1900 in Chi.
cago for all presidential candidates is
estimated at $4,000. By comparison
with this estimate Bryan's majority
over Mckinley would run considerably
over "a 900. Indeed, that prophesy is
upon conservative basis
The Americans ballot is of value in
connection with the New York Jour-
nal's recent poll, taken from week to
week for two months, indicates that
Mckinley's plurality of $4,000 in that
city in 1896 will be exchanged to great
plurality of nearly 10000 votes for
Bryan. Unless all signs fail, the great
centers of population in this country
will roll up a tremendous tidal wave Of
votes for Bryan on election day.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1900-10-04

The reason why the republican con.
gress refused to repeal any of the od,ous
war taxes, though they declared all
wars were over and the treasury was
running over full, is now apparent.
The Philippine war is as lively as ever,
Mckinley has another war with China,
in connection with the powers, the sole
design Of which is to conquer and hold
Chinese territory; troops must remain
in the Samoa islands and in Cuba and
Porto Rico yet for an indefinite time; as
long as we hold them as colonies in
fact. y will require at least 4OO, 900
troops to finish conquering the thous-
and Philippine islands and to hold them
and the Others. hence the war tax will
continue as long as imperialism viii

in fact the tax will have to be greatly
