AN INTERESTING PRIMARY.

The republican primary held in this
city last Thursday was not q disap.
pointment to those who expected to see
big ''scrap." The fight, as stated by
the INDEX last week, conferred on rep
resentatlve and the other aspiranis
were scarcely considered. The Stewart
and Millar men were on the streets ear.
ly in the morning and they worked un-
til i've O'Clock in the evening. Rigs
wer Iled into service and every re-
publican as we'll as several of doubtful
political complexion were run in"
and when the battle ended Stewart had
81 votes and Millar so. The result was
o surprise to everybody, and even Stew
art himself got more support than he
had expected to receive. Mr.. Stewards
strength was in his organization. He
had been at work several months and
had his men we'll lined up. Millar's
hackers here in town treated Stewards
candidacy as joke and rIdiculed him
more than once as renegade pop or
democrat and made all kinds of sport
of his candidacy. If they had done
some work instead of employing these
tactics they might have defeated him
In this township.
1t was certainly an enthusiastic"
meeting; so enthusiastic" that at two
different times some of them almost
came to blows. Traitor" and "boss"
were the predominating epithets and
both factions were in fighting trim. 1t
was like thunderbolt out of q clear
sky to the Big 4, and when they saw
what was in the air they went to work
to save Millar in the other townships.
The tickets in this township were COM
posed as follows, both having been

speech. He hit Stewart a few broad
side ticks by saying that Millar never
cuts quarter of day off of q mans
wages when he works tor him, THAT
being one of the stories that were cir
culated On SAM. and that Stewart had
lots OF time to go into politics. AT
present he had better take care Of his
banking business. This last clause was
to bring out the charge that Stewart
was G. @. Chambers candidate and q
bankers tool-a charge without proof.
The ballot was then taken and the
result was:
Ailoi' 40
Stewart. ..... ..............4l
Millar was declared the nominee and
Stewart moved to make it unanimous.
MIliar was called up. He thanked the
convention and made his bow. Stewart
was called forward but didn't have
much to say. However. he admitted
that Millar was his second choice
Harry Glenn had been found by this
time and he made a speech of accept
ance. He hoped that oil might be
poured on the troubled waters so that
he could be elected.
Samuel Griffin was then nominated
by reclamation. He made a short
speech pledging his fidelity to McKin-
ley and explaining that he had a hard
time of 1t in the county attorneys Of
fee, though he had always done the
the right and wise thing and concluded
by assuring the convention that all
that was necessary to Garry the party to
victory this fall was to nominate as
good men as he for the balance of the
Offices.
Ernest 3. Taylor was nominated for
county superintendent. The other as.
pirants had all been previously side
tracked.
There were four candidates for pro-
bate judge-Dr. D. E. Tedrow. of Med.
icine Lodge. Lew Frame, of Elm Mills,
A. 2. Booher, of Medicine Lodge, and
DR.. J. K. Osborne, of Medicine Lodge.
Chamberlain. of Elm Mills. made a
strong plea for bis candidate, but he
couldn't pull his man through. The
bosses had gotten all cut of Elm Mills
township they wanted and they sudden.
ly disregarded their promises to Frame
and threw enough OF their strength to
Tedrow to nominate. Booher and Os.
borne were treated as a joke although
it required some generalship to keep
votes away from them. Three ballots
were necessary to nominate. They
were as follows:

knees, though free from the seams
which would suggest the effect of press
ing or of a trouser stretcher. Conclu-
sion, the desk is a high one; for the
man stood at his work. Most men who
work standing at high desks are book
keepers of one kind or another. There
fore. as | said before, this man was
probably bookkeeper. Now, as to his
salary: | do Tot pretend to know the
exact amount of it, of course. But
when a man, who was evidently not
dude, has his clothes made to order,
of imported material, and when his
linen, his hat and his shoes are of good
quality, it is fair to infer that the mans
income was comfortable.
Il proceed with the arrangement of
my data:
SECONDLY: the man in the cab died
of a wound caused by a bullet fired at
very close quarters. Indeed, the weap-
on must have been held either against
the victims body, or, at any rate, very
near to it; for the coat is badly burned
by the powder"
"On these points at least" assented
DR.. Thurston, II can agree with you.
The bullet probably penetrated the
upper lobe of the left lung"
Yes" added Sturgis, ''and it passed
out at the back, far below where it
went in"
"What makes you think it passed
out? The wound in the back may
have been caused by another bullet
fred from the rear"
THAT hypothesis might be tenable
were it not for this"
With these words the reporter pulled
out his watch, opened the case, and
with the blade of a penknife took from
the surface of the crystal a minute OBJ
ject which he handed to the physician.
Look at it," said he, pushing over
a magnifying glass.
DR.. Thurston examined the object
carefully.
"A splinter of bone" he said, at last
"Yes | found it on the surface of
the wound in the back. How did it get
there?"
You are right" admitted the phys;
clan; sit must have come from with
in, Clipped from a rib and carried out
by the bullet which entered from the
front"
81 think there can be no doubt as to
that Now, the bullet does not seem
to have been DETECTED in its course by
its contact with the rib. for, as far as
have been able to judge by probing
the two wounds with my pencil, their
direction is the same. This is impor-
tant and brings me to point three,
which is illustrated by these diagrams,
drawn to scale from the measurements
/ took this afternoon"

CHAPTER V.
A FOUNDATION OF FACTS.

When the two men were comfortably
settled in the reporters study, Sturgis
produced pipes, tobacco and writing
materials.
There, now" said he, as he prepared
to write, Il begin with what ! shall
call the Cab Mystery. The data in this
case are already plentiful and curious.
l shall read as | write, and you can
interrupt for suggestions and criti-
cisms, as the points occur to you. In
the first place, the dead man is about
fifty years old, and was employed in
some commercial house or financial in
stitution, PROBABLY bookkeeper, at a
fairly good salary"
Hold on there, Sturgis," laughed
Thurston. Il thought you were going
to build up a solid foundation of facts
before you allowed your imagination
to run riot!"
"Well?" inquired the reporter, in APP
parent surprise.
"Well. the only fact you have men
toned is the approximate age of the
dead man. The rest is pure assump-
ton. How can you know anything
certain about his occupation and the
amount of his salary?"
True; | forgot you had not followed
the steps in the process of induction.
Here they are: the dead mans sleeves,
on the under side below the elbow,
were worn shiny. This shows that
his occupation is at a desk of some
kind"
"Or behind counter" suggested
Thurston quizzically.
"No. Your hypothesis is untenable.
A clerk behind a counter occasionally,
it is true, leans upon his forearms. But
incessant contact with the counter
leaves across the front of his trousers
an unmlstakable line of wear, at
level varying according to the height
of the individual. This line was not
present in the case of the man in the
cab. On the other hand, his waistcoat
is frayed at the level of the fourth but
ton from the top. Therefore | main
tain that he was in the habit of work
ing at a desk. Now the trousers, al
though not new, are not baggy at the

CHAPTER ".
THE BANK PRESIDENT.

Sprague's dinner party was over,
and among the first to take their
leave. shortly after midnight, were
Dunlap, Sturgis and DR.. Thurston.
The reporter did not often spend
an evening in worldly dissipation. He
was man of action, hard worker
and an enthusiastic student. Almost
all of the time which was not actually
spent in the pursuit of his profession,
was devoted to study in many widely
different fields of art and science
For Sturgis ideal of his profession
was high; he held that almost every
form cf knowledge was essential to
success in his line of work. 1t was
seldom, therefore, that he allowed
himself to spend a precious evening
in social intercourse, unless as a more
or less direct mears to some end. He
had made an exception in favor of
Sprague's dinner, and his meeting
with Dunlap, whom he had not pre-
viuusly known, had been entirely ac-
cidental.
Dunlap was, however, man whom
Sturgis needed to see in the course
of his study of the KniCkerbocker
bank mystery, and he had not lost
the opportunity which chance had
placed in his way. After obtaining an

(Which territory ?"
Getii,senane.

The Garden of Gethsemane, which
was so closely interviewer with the clos
ing scenes in the life of Christ, is now
desolate spot, containing few old
and shattered olive trees, the trunks
of which are supported by stones,
though some of the branches are -four
ishing. 1t is a small square inclosure
of about 200 feet, surrounded by high
wall, little way out of Jerusalem, be-
low ST. Stephens gate, and near the
foot of the Mount of Olives. Biblical
reference to it is made in Matt. &c: 30
Sc; Mark 14:26-52; Luke %: 1858. and
John 1S:1-14. The garden is the prop
erty of the Latin Christians, the Greek
church having fixed upon another To-
cality as the true site of Gethsemane.

DON'T LET THE SONG GO.

Don't let the song go out of yorr life:
Though 1t chance sometimes TO low
In a minor strain, it will blend again
With the major tone. you know.
What though shadows rise to obscure life's
skies,
And hide for time the sun;
They sooner will lift and reveal the rift,
If you let the melody run.
Don't let the song go out of your life;
Though your voice may have lost - trill,
Though the tremulous note should die in
the throat,
Let it sing in your spirit still
There is never a pain that hides not some
gain,
And never a cup of rue
SO bitter to sup but what in the cup
Turks measure of sweetness too.
Don't let the song go out of your life;
All it never would need to go,
If with thought more true and broader
view.
We looked at this life below.
Oh, why should we moan that lifes spring
time has flown,
Or sigh for the fair summer time?
The autumn hath days filled with paeans
of praise.
And the winter hath bells that chime.
Don't let the song go out of your life;
Let it ring in the soul while here,
And when you go hence, it shall follow
you thence,
And sing on in another sphere.
Then do not despond and say that the fond,
Sweet songs of your life have flown
For if ever you knew song that was true,
Its music is still your own.
