"DEVIL In HER," T"
Said the Officials, and Consigned
Old rs to the
Dump.

Logansport, Ind, Feb. 12-After kill
Gus cattle and being in 20 wrecks, Pan
handle engine No. 475, has made her
last trip. The old engine is now stand
ing in the shops awaiting the time when
the order shall be given to consign her
to the scrap pile. The experts in the
company's employ have decided that
her last escapade has placed the engine
beyond repair. Twice this engine ran
away, once without an engineer and
again with a man standing powerless
with his hand on the throttle. Three
years ago old AIS crashed into a surrey
near this city which contained four
people, killing the horses and occupants
of the vehicle. She next ran away, and
only stopped when the steam was ex-
hausted A few months ago she crash
ed into a wagon containing four occu-
pants, and all met instant death. The
last escapade was when AIS became be-
yond the control of the engineer and
came down HILL crashing into another
locomotive just starting out. She was
dumped into a ditch by force Of the
collision and stripped of all the fancy
work usually on the outside of engines.
When hoisted to the track rs was still
able to run to the shops, but her in
juries were fatal, being sufficient to
order the remains sent to the dump"
Not railroad engineer on the Logan
sport division of the Pan Handle but
what rejoices in the decision of the
officials. When her last trips were be-
ing made the engineer always received
the instructions as he started out with
the engine, "Be careful with old rs;
she's got The devil in her"

EASTERN DEMOCRATS PLOT
Hope to Use Dewey's Candidacy ns n
Means Of Getting Rid of
bryan.

NEW YORK, April A washington
dispatch to the Evening Telegram says:
1T is developed that the announcement Of
Dewey's candidacy is part Of well laid
plan Of the Eastern Democrats to head on
Bryan's nomination"
The Evening kilograms dispatch con-
tinues:
THE admiral will not admit that there is
any organization behind his candidacy,
or state whether he would like the Repub-
Iican or Democratic nomination. He told
me today that he was in the hands of the
American people. and was as willing to
obey orders from them as he has been
from his superiors in the navy. He said;
az have every reason to believe that
there is a popular demand for my NOM
nation l decline to say whether / am
Democrat or a Republican
- 4 want TO be the peoples candidate. L
fully realize that in announcing my Will
ingness 10 become a candidate that my
troubles are beginning, but man who has
the interests of his country at heart can
not escape his share Of them, and l anI
willing to risk all that may come to me
" From every state in the Union, and
from all classes Of the people, have re-
ceived gratifying evidence of a desire for
my nomination The demand has become
so general that felt constrained to give
serious consideration to the matter. and
although 1 had previously stated that
would not accept a nomination. conditions
have so changed In the past few months
that | cannot longer, as a loyal American
citizen, say that I will not obey the VIII
OF the American people if their decision IS
that | am a suitable person for the presi-
dency Beyond confirming my announce
ment there is nothing further that / can

of the organizations that were to partici-
pate in the parade have decided to with
draw.
THE contributors to the fund to defray
the expenses did so on the assurance OF
the committee that there would be no poll
itics whatever on the occasion. and now
the contributors are asking for a return
OF their money
1T is hoped that the preparations for
honoring Admiral Dewey win not have to
be abandoned, and the committee VIII do
it's utmost TO overcome the revulsion of
feeling caused by the publication of Ad-
miral Dewey's determination to become
candidate for the presidency"
The Jig Is Up.
Notwithstanding the committees public
statement that preparations will continue.
members privately say they believe the
Zig Is up" Many of the members have
lost heart, and II Admiral Dewey should
change his mind now that he has become
a candidate for office. and decline to
come to Chicago, ii would be a great re-
lief to them. They will however. be the
last to give up the celebration. II is sur
sumed by those who know the admiral
and are acquainted with his sensitive ma
ture. that when he hears OF the dissatis-
faction in Chicago over his proposed visit
he will cancel the engagement.
Campau Prefers Bryan.
DETROIT, April A-Daniel b. Campau,
Michigan member of the Democratic COM
mittee. wires the New York World to-
day In response to an inquiry whether
Dewey would not be Il stronger candidate
than Bryan follows:
'In the present crisis the Democratic
party needs a leader of positive convic-
lions The Democratic candidate must
not only stand firmly upon the Democrat
ic platform, but must be a platform in
himself. Mere personal popularity is
never sufficient to WIN, especially at a
time when voters are studying now.
The Democratic party is strongest when
fighting aggressvely for principle and
weakest when supporting mere popular
heroes
Proud as Democrats may be that
Dewey IS among those who desire the
downfall of imperialism. | think It would
be "A grave mistake not TO place In nomi-
nation william j. Bryan. whose vote Of
1896 was larger than had ever been be-
fore required to elect, and whose follow
ing today Is larger by far"
Proctor Is Much Surprised.
