The Preachers Vote.

ion." "Oh, / thought you said the
question of Prohibition was not a DO
litical one; the rum-sellers evidently
think it is. Now, sir, if liquor man,
who believes in license, defends Ii
cense, spends money for it, talks it.
and votes it, would be a fool to vote
the Prohibition ticket, I would like to
know what you are, who believe in
Prohibition, preach it and pray for it
but vote the same ticket as the rum
seller?"
There was a pause. The sharp,
black eyes of the questioner were fixed
on the reverend gentleman, who evil
IDENTIFY was not prepared for such a
direct thrust. Finally he managed
to say: II refuse to answer such an
insulting question, sir. I vote accord
ing to the dictates of my own con-
science. and"
II beg your pardon, sir, but you do
nothing of the kind Every time you
cast your ballot for your rum-ruled
liquor law party, you vote in direct
opposition to your conscience, and you
know it. You also know that the
liquor business of this nation is Ii
censed every year by law. You know
that political parties make and main
tain the law. You know that your po-
litical party could not, if it would, pass
nor enforce prohibitory laws. You
know that fully one-half of the saloon
lists, and brewers and distillers of this
land vote the same ticket as you do.
You know that your vote yesterday
will be counted as being in favor of
the saloon. You know that the only
way you can inform the government
through Prohibition ballot.
"You know that there are four mil
lion Christian voters in this nation,
who profess to favor Prohibition, but
the most of whom vote every year with
you for whisky. You know that even
the angel Gabriel could not pick out
your vote from that of a rum-seller
as it lay in the box yesterday.
"You know all this, I say, and yet
you raise your hands in holy protest
when this gentleman here ventured to
remark that you voted for whisky.
Let me tell you, sir, that the rum
seller who votes with his license par
ty for the protection and perpetuation
of his business is a thousand times
more deserving of respect for honesty
and consistency than you, who pro-
fess to favor Prohibition, but vote
directly for whisky. Your professions
in that line, sir. are lie, your preach
ing farce, your prayers mockery
and your vote protest against your
own conscience, your church and your
God!"

A Joke On the Doctor.

Going into the free dispensaTy of the New

three or four little girls who, while await

and were huddled together on one bench,
eagerly discussing something of great in
terest,. which on investigation proved to be
a much handled chunk" of candy. In as
tonishment he inquired what they were do
ing. Some questioning finally elected an
explanation that "de one what tells de big

am ashamed of you. When was little like

SOME STARTLING FACTS.
Rear Admiral Schley's Son says They Wan
Be Brought to Light When the
Inquiry Begins.

Salt Lake City, July 29.-The Her
az to-day printed the following:
Capt. Thomas F. Schley, eldest son of
Admiral Winfield S. Schley, who is
stationed at Fort Douglass, in this
city. yesterday outlined some points
tlE:t will be brought out in the court
OF inquiry as to his fathers conduct
at the battle of Santiago. He de-
clared that some startling facts will
be brought to light if the whole
truth shall become known. and that
the regulations of persons other than
his father are likely to suffer.
Capt. Schley is an officer of the
Twenty-third infantry, in command at
F"rt Douglas. Although he has not
had letter from his father since
the court of inquiry was ordered, he
is familiar with the question at issue
and pointed out some of the facts
that will be urged in the admiraPs
defense. when the court of inquiry
meets" said Capt Schley, II would
'iFe to have the privilege. of asking
Admiral Sampson just one question:
If the battle of Santiago had re-
suited in defeat, to whom would the
blame have been attached?' This, L
think, tells the situation in a nut
{ ell. If Admiral Schley had lost the
battle he would have been blamed.
He won it and he should have the
credit.

WORKS ON LOCOMOTIVE
LEE SEYMOUR, OF ST. PAUL, Is AN
EXPERT FIREMAN
From a Rough Life In the Rockies,
He Returns to Spend Vacation
With Parents at the
Aberdeen.

Lee Seymour, who for the past year
has been feeding coal to a compound
consolidated engine on the Rocky noun
tain division of the Northern Pacific
road, returned yesterday to st. Paul,
and will spend a month or two with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Seymour,
at the Aberdeen.
Mr.. Seymour, who, though only twenty
three years old, has devoted the past
three years to the duties of fireman,
first on the Chicago & Northwestern
passenger running between Chicago and
Milwaukee, and for the last year on
what is called hog helper, engine,
which is attached to the regular engine
to assist the North Coast Limited over the
Idaho, and Missoula, Mont
Mr.. Seymour has served a grim appren-
ticeship serving coal, and otherwise
working hard on this monster engine,
and expects before long to be given a
freight engine of his own. He has been
working with Engineer sfBiIP' Prosseur,
a veteran mountain climbing engineer of
the Northern Pacific, and feels equal to
the task, if called upon, of running IAN
engine at this time. This odd vocation
had attractions for young Seymour be-
fore he graduated from the st. Paul
high school, and has Developed his fine
physique. He says that the Northern
Pacific road has ordered fourteen new
tandem consolidated engines for use on
the Rocky Mountain division. The new
machines have four instead of two steam
cylinders, thereby furnishing greater
power with less coal consumed.

IT WAS (;HILDREN'S DAY
DRs. oHAGE AND WHITCoMB EN-
TERRAIN MANY LITTLE ONES.

Drs. Ohage and Whitcomb played
hosts to more little folks than the day
nursery at Harriet island could comfort
ably hold yesterday afternoon. A public
picnic was given on the island for the
children, and small tots came from or
phan asylums, hospitals and private
homes to enjoy 'veliy dood time as
a blonde cherub remarked when it was
all over. The swings were tested. won
derful houses were built in the soft.
damp sand, the hammocks were sampled
lin fact, all the delights of the island
were explored and pronounced to be good.
The bigger children went in bathing and
those who were voted too small for the
exciting pastime cheered the bathers
from the beach. The browning delight
for the children was the appearances of
Baby Lund from the Star theater This
remarkable versatile young person won
the hearts Of her small audience. At
tired In a simple white frock she SANG,
Hello. Central, Give Me Heaven" and
before the children had time to weep
over the pathos of the touching ballad
she was before them again, this time
gotten up in very. fetching masculine
toys, and sang GOO Goo Eyes" Per-
hapS the most interesting part of an in
teresting day for the children was the
serving of refreshments by the attend
ants of the day nursery. Ice cream,
lemonade, soda water and other summer
dainties were administered In judicious
amounts to the children.
The outing was planned by Drs Ohage
and Whitcomb with view to give the
children a final frolic and general good
time on the Fairgrounds surrounding
the day nursery before school opens
Everything that could add to their pleas

TRIO OF ACCIDENTS

OF UNLUCKY HAPPENINGS
YESTERDAY
JOCKEY NEARLY LOSES LIFE
In the Mile Dash He Was Thrown
by BOundIess, and His Es-

A trio of accidents, any one of which
might have easily been fatal resulted
from the entertainment at the fair last
night. The first to suffer was Jockey
James Gralish. He was riding for John
Harmon, OF Minneapolis, his mount be-
ing Boundless.
1t was in the mile dash that he met his
accident The horse was nervous at the
post and acted badly all through the get
away, which consumed considerable time.
He had a good position in the race and
managed to make the first half In good
style, but at the three-quarter post the
horse proved too much for him, and,
with sudden movement, sent the jockey
flying over the fence onto the turf.
He was stunned for d minute by the
fall. but by the time the other Jockeys
reached him he was conscious and had
begun to go over himself looking for in
juries. These consisted of badly
skinned face and a pair OF DIackeneo
eyes, and, when he attempted to rise he
found that his back was sprained and
he was unable to get up or walk alone.
He was carried to the Jockeys quarters,
where medical aid was procured His
condition is not at all serious unless he Is
injured internally which the physicians
think is doubtful. He will probably not
ride again during the week.

The balloon started with unusual force
and rapidity and all went we'll until the
weight of Hoffman and the parachute
began to pull on the fastenings. AT a
distance of about ten feet above ground
these gave way and Hoffman was hurled,
rather than dropped, to the ground. Be
yond a severe shaking up he received no
serious injuries.
2 When the Roman standing race was
called two teams, a bay and gray put
in their appearance. The rider of the Day
team did not have the best of control
over MS team evidently, for they seemed
to go when and where they pleased.
About 200 feet from the start, when the
racers were going at rapid gait the
bays seemed to get the better Of the
driver, and before he could get Them
under control they had throwns him 70
the ground. He was not injured Tor
tunately and stood his ground waiting
for the team to come round the track.
They ran all the way round and beat
out the grays by a half a dozen rods.
