ANOTHER SERIOUS ROW
Democrats and Pops Clash Over
Finances,

ATT O'Clock this morning news came to
the Eagle Office that the Democrats and
Populists had another serious row. The
details could not be ascertained at that
hour. 1t was stated that the new fuss
came up over some wrangle between a
few prominent politicians over funds. the
Democrats charging that they were com
PEELED to bear all the expense Of the cam
Daign while the Pops had contributed
nothing. Notwithstanding this. it is said
that the Pops mad the cheek to claim that
certain expenses in the interest Of MI
Jones campaign shou- borne " the
Citizens" campaign committee. It is
thought that the expenses in question are
those incident to J. g. McCoy's so-caued
stunning campaign, in which he has
planned to speak nightly from a wagon
and arouse enthusiasm with a negro
band
Mr.. Amidon, who is treasurer O. the
Citizens committee, could not be found at
? o'elock this morning to enlighten a re-
porter on the subject.

The residents Of North BIosley avenue

found that the hand was not many days
Old they were more excited than ever.
or examining the hand t was discovered
that it was in perfect condition, and was
only torn where the dogs teath had
touched It. The member had the APP
pearance Of being severed with a sharp
knife, and after thorough search had
been made in the hope of finding more
evidence. it. certainly Ioked as II a crime
had ben committed. After searching
about the neighborhood for a long time
and not finding anything that would

the member the hand of woman.
Nothing has ben reported to the police

Chicago, Oct pa novel plan to
escape conflict with a court order
has been hit upon by union labor men
and will be put into operation here to-
day.
Fearing that any attempt by them
to talk with the non-union machinists
at the Chalmers company shops
might be construed as a violation OF
the injunction recently issued by
Judge Kohlsaat in the Federal court
against picketing, the striking ma
chinists will communicate with the
men inside the works by means OF
printed cards. 1t is the first time
that a printed card has played SC
important part in a big strike. 1t is
believed by the unionists that thil
mute appeal to the men who hav,
taken the places Of the strikers viii
prove efIicacious and at the same time
be within the limits of the law.
