DAVE NEWHAUSER
A Character Sketch.

lllCHs W. nav ~ bSSNAAN
ed With the idea of writing few,
on our own hook, and as a conSe-
quence, we will begin our SERIES
by giving sketch of one of our
famous avoirdupols beauties
Dave Newhauser.
PERSONAL DESCRIPTIONS: Dave
is a 'Strawberry blonde "-one of
those restfuI beauties, who looks
best in repose, and, as he is mostly
in that attitude, he usually look
we'll Not that he is lazy-but is
possessed of chronic indispOsi- !
ton to continued effort, which is
quite becoming in one of Dawes
make up. What the original
color Of Dawes hair was, we do
not know. He does not carry 1T
with him. Various conjectures
are afoat as to the cause of its alb
sence. Some say that it was due
to his immense popularity among
the fair sex; that when lady adj
mirer asked for lock Of his hair,
Dave with that liberality which
is characteristic of hlm) would
give her a handful as long as it
lasted. But, alas! there is an end
to all thing, and so it proved with
Dawes hair. There are other ru.
mors, which we pass by, such as
early piety, etc. Those who know
him don't give credit to t1e re-
port.
| PERSONAL BEAUTY: Dawes ar
ch;tecture is of the brick safety.
deposite.vault style, and he is
just as square inside as out. He
is what may be called a fat com
pleted man.
TACT is one Of the leading traits
of his character. He realizes that
tie truth is not to be told at all
times, and acts accordingly.
As an illustration of that trait
a short time ago. be made the
statement that Phillips, Ortmeyer

handsOmest men in New Iberia

We're absolutely perfect from the mo-
ment the gun was fired.
1t blew as if made to order for a fair
test of the British and American boats
and through two legs of reaching and
the first of the windward work on the
nome stretch, Columbia had shown her
self to be superior. In the close reach
to the first mark she gained on the vis-
itor, she gained on the broader reach to
the second mark, and when they began
the exciting beat home, she ate her way
into the wind in manner that her rival
could not approach
Both yachts held the port tack head
ing almost north toward the Long ISL
land shore and it looked as if they meant
to hold it until they We're sure of fetch

worked up the glimmering bronze hull
the British boat was getting further and

American had lead which hardly a fast
steamboat could have cut down in the
short stretch of water which lay be-
tween her and the finish The excursion
feet at this time were strung out in a
long scattering line to westward of the
course and doing their best to keep up
with the racers.
At 1:57 both yachts went about on the
starboard tack and headed for the fin

about a quarter of a mile The race was
over then Nothing could hear her.

Frank Grimes Thinks He Has
Unearthed One.
1t Was to Defeat Mr.. Burton's
First appointment.
GUNS WERE READY.
Would Have Opened Fire No Mat
ter Who Was Recommended.
More Talk About Renewal Of
Fight on Leland.

Kansas politics are kaleidoscope. The
latest turn of the glass to give the po-
litical crowd something to think about
is story of a hideous conspiracy that
has leaked out on the tailings of the
appointment of J. S. Dean to be United
States district attorney
All of Mr.. Deans endorsements were
sent in by wire and no grass was al
lowed to grow under the feet of any one
in getting the recommendation of Sem
ator Burton endorsed and Dean appoint
ed. Tracy withdrew Monday and Dean
was recommended the same day. On
Tuesday the president announced that
Mr.. Dean was accepted and on Wednes-
day his commission was issued.
1t was very evident that no time was
to be given Mr.. Burton's enemies to
mutilate Mr.. Dean with charges as Mr..
Tracy had been.
1t leaked out today that the haste was
due to the discovery of what Frank
Grimes calls gigantic conspiracy.
In substance the conspiracy Matched
by Senator Burtons enemies was to de-
feat at any cost Burton's first big fed
eral appointment.
The alleged conspiracy Frank Grimes
says was Matched early last spring be-
fore any recommendations had been put
in. The alleged conspirators knew that
the United States district attorney
would be the first to be appointed. They
concentrated all their enerkfes in get
ting up charges against every possible
appointee. There were five possibilities:
B. H. Tracy, ]. s. Dean. George Barker.
Steve Osborn and ]. b. Tomlinson.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Grimes that the
conspirators had their ammunition
ready for each and every one of them
The charges that were brought up
against Tracy are well known. for they
encompassed his defeat.
If Dean had not been quickly ap-
pointed, it is asserted by Burton's
friends. charges would have been pre-
sented against him. What would have
been brought against Osborn, Barker
or Tomlinson, the enemies of Senator
Burton are said to have still up their
sleeves.
s''Tracy was unfortunatei" exclaimed
a friend of Senator Burton today. TT
vas III the cards for Mr.. Burtoi,s ocDo-
nents to defeat the first big appoint
gets much sympathy He will come out
of this with the highest honors when
the truth is known
The discovery of this scheme to an
noy Burton. it is said on good autf1ori-
lands reappointment as pension agent.
A Washington dispatch this morning
tells that Senator Burton, Will renew the
fight on Leland when he returns to
Washington. He is in New York at
present.
The announcem ent has caused a fe-
yer among the politicians here, but Mr..
Leland goes placidly on his way.

IS THERE APPEAL.
Question If Misdemeanor Cases
Can Go to Supreme Court.

Before division No. 1 of the supreme
court today the case of the State VS.
Deuel. brought up a question of the
courts jurisdiction, growing out of legis-
lation enacted at the last session of the
legislature. There We're certain classes of
cases in which appeal ended with de-
cision by the court of appeals. When
that court died by legislative enactment
it became necessary to revise the law re-
lating to the jurisdiction of the supreme
court and re-establish it's former status.
H. f. Mason of F'inney drafted the bin
1t went through a number of amendments
in committees of the whole and the en-
rolling clerk completed its jugglery, so
that if the supreme court follows the lit
eral reading of the law in its present
form there is no appeal beyond the dis
trict court in misdeneanor cases BY
leaving out comma in list. of excep-
tions before the words land in misde-
meanors," misdemeanors are excepted
from the. courts Jurisdiction instead of
placed within it.
If the supreme court accepts the law
in its juggled form it will leave final dis
position of whisky cases with the district
courts. It's decision in the case of the
State VS. Deuel. will, be watched for WITH
interest by the legal fraternity and

S1,00O,OO0 INSURANCE.
Worlds Record Held by Mutual Life
of New York

New York, Oct. s.-The tendency of
business men to protect their estates
by. policies of life insurance is becom-
ilg as general as to protect their
buildings by policies of fire insurance.
Since Mr.. George W. Vanderbilt of
New York, and Mr.. Frank H. Peavey,
of Minneapolis each took policies for
$1,000 900 few years since in the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company of New
York, there has been no equally large
sum written ON one individual. Those
remain the record figures for the world.
But policies of $50, 600 and 100000, and
even 100000, are so frequent as to
cause little comment, and even when
Mr.. Sidney A. Witherbee, of Detroit,
took $500, 900 in per cent gold bonds
insurance from the Mutual Life, early
in this year, it passed almost as a
matter of course. 1t is significant that
when a business mans estate is set
tied these days, life insurance is gem
orally found to be a very important
part of it, often all there is of it. Life
Insurance in one of the great COM
panies yields a good rate of interest as
an investment, apart from the protec-
ton it affords.

was under examination by Mr.. Rayner
and the court had just decided that the
witness should not enter upon a discus
sion of the blockade of Santiago, as it
was conducted after the arrival of
Com mander- chief Sampson. There
was much interest in Lieut. Doyle's re-
appearance as it was expected that the
course of his examination would devei-
op the further policy of Admiral
Schley's counsel in the case.
Both the court and counsel are begin
ming to show the effects of the arduous
duties imposed by the trial. Especially
severe is it upon the attorneys, both for
Admiral Schley and for the navy de-
partnent. Their duties do not cease
when the court adjourns in the after
noon, but they extend far into the night
and often they are found at their labors
before the breakfast hour next morn

all of them and its various turns bring
to light fresh complications, which have
the effect of rendering it more trying
than an ordinary case would be.

desirable to have the case terminal ted

there is little prospect in that direction.
