POLITICS IS NOW A TRADE.
Men Want Pay for Service Former
~ Considered a Patri-
otto Duty.

In modern politics have many times
known of more money spent in a single
ward for the election of councilman
than the entire amount contributed in
1860 to carry the Pennsylvania election
in October that gave the republicans
absolute victory in November, says
Col. A. X. Mcclure, in the Saturday
Evening Post. There is not an earnest
ly contested legislative district in this
city that does not cost Thousands of doll
lars to run the campaign and pay the
party workers; and recent contest for
nomination in one of the senat orial dis
tricts of Philadelphia cost the opposing
fractional leaders not less than 500, 900.
Under our present system political
leaders make politics trade, and every
ward and precinct has host of men
who i've BY politics and who refuse to
give political service of any kind UNI
less literally paid. In 1850 there was
not an attempt made to buy vote for
Curtin in the entire state, and, except.
ing in rare instances, where special and
unusual service was required, the entire
work of that great battle, that rev.
olutionized nation, was willingly per-
formed without pay as matter of
patriotic duty.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Sad Fate That BefeII German FARM
er Who Was ON His Way from
Reinbeck to South Dakota,


A skull and few partially burned
bones are all that are left of Peter
Peters, of Reinbeck, who started in an
emigrant car containing three horses,
six cows and his household furniture
from Reinbeck for Salem. S. d. The
car was switched in on a siding, thence
to be taken by the C. &. N. w. to the
destination. Early in the morning a
pile of ashes was found where there
had been car. Some time during the
night the car had caught fire andi it, to-
gether with its contents, had been en-
tirely destroyed.
Mr.. Peters was an Industrious Ger
man farmer and by careful manage
ment had accumulated sufficient to buy
farm for himself in South Dakota, to
which he was EN- route at the time of
the accident. He leaves wife and
seven small children, he eldest 12 wears
of age. Mr.. Peters had about $40 in
paper money on his person, and this
was burned along with the balance of
the car. The farm he purchased re-
Gently In Dakota was paid for and he
also had some money in the bank.
which is left to the widow.

STARTLING PREDICTION.
Man of the Future to Return t.
Knickerbocl<ers and Lace Laden
Waistcoatx of Colonial Times.


Mrs, Anne Jenness -MilIe.,-~ s -1r.4l-
lngton, d. c., during an interview in
sioes4c City made the startling predic-
tion that the man of the future would
return to the gay-colored and Despair
gled knickerbockers and the lace-laden
waistcoats of the gentlemen of colonial
times. She does not predict that the
Americans will use such apparel for
everyday clothes, but she thinks it will
displace "the conventional black" in
such common use in the social world of
the present time, which she considers
too somber and staid to satisfy the gen.
tleman of the future. who is to be q
lover of art. Mrs. Miller would have
all men discard long trousers, and con-
siders the golfing costume good bust
ness suit. Mrs. Miller announced that
this would be her last year on the lee
ture platform. She will insthe future
devote more time to her family She
will soon leave for Europe.

netO and smart
. boiero or bioused jackets

~ VERY woman, it would seem, is the
~ possessor of one of the decidedly
smart bolero or bloused jackets.
In spite of the fancful Celebrations
these little coats are very warm, for
they are made of two or three different
pieces, revealing one, two or even three
coat or vest effects. The materials
used in them may be broadcloth, velvet,
fur and broadtail.
To give a better idea of these neat
little jackets, ] will describe few of
those l have seen recently. One that is
attractive is an embroidered affair of
broadtail. made with narrow bands of
gray kid let into the black fur in grace
full curves and vandye points, and
embroidered with black silk. This
trimming is put on in yoke effect, and
at the waist line, and to border the
jaunty little basque. At the neck is
scarf of gray kid with lines of black
embroidery; this is around the medici
collar, the ends being finished with silk
fringe. 1t has bell sleeves finished with
a deep fringe falling over cuff of the
gray kid. The same effect might be
carried out with either velvet or bro
caded satin, and in fact, / have seen
practically the same thing in both of
these materials.
A shorter one, more on the bolero eff
feet, is of Persian lamb edged with a
drop trimming of black silken braid.
The same finish is given to the bell
sleeves, where there is full puffed un.
dersleeve of black panne drawn in
tight cuff. This bolero reveals an under
coat of satiny-black broadtail on which
single violets are wrought in mauve
silk. the little flowers being scattered
literally over the vest and collar.
y third is a pretty affair on a new or.
der. 1t is of doves wing gray and black
broadcloth. The gray broadcloth
forms deep scalloped yoke with rows
of black silk stitching. Below this is

Teachers for the Philippine.

Recently Prof. H. E. Kratz, superin-

been requested to recommend some
teachers for places in the public schools

in paper, and ever since Prof. Kratz
has been kept busy receiving callers
and answering letters from persons
who are anxious to teach the young
Filipinos their A B C's. SIT is remark

IN THIS same subject great

Price Doubled.

The price of cigarettes in Sioux City
has gone up from five cents box to
ten cents. For few days after the
American Tobacco company withdrew
its guarantee of protection from the
cigar dealers throughout the state it
was feared the littlepaper cigars would
not be purchaseable at all. Now, how
ever, the larger cigar stores have de-
cided to handle cigarettes in spite of
the $500 tax, which has been causing all
the trouble; but in order to balance the
risk and protect themselves they have
raised the price to ten cents.
