AS to the speakership the Clarinda
Herald believes that the indications
are that Congressman Cannon, of Illi-
nois. stands the best show of securing
the prize, and there certainly can be no
question as to his fitness for the posi-

The Creston Gazette believes the
west will name the speaker and that in
all likelihood its choice will be Mr..

WABASH RIVER EXPERIENCE.
Song That Has Significance for
Clay c. Hunt, of New Castle.

There is a song called On the Banks
of the Wabash, remarked Clay C. Hunt,
of New Castle, yesterday afternoon, land
occasionally when l hear it whistled or
sung L reminded of time about seven
teen years ago when / was not only on
the banks of the Wabash, but was in mid
stream for a while. 1 was rather a young
fellow those days and was travelling for a
school furniture supply house. selling goods
to township trustees. One day 1 went to
Terre Haute and found 1 would have to go
across the Wabash river into the country
to see a trustee. 1 got horse and buggy
in Terre Haute and started to drive.
Reaching the river 1 found it running pref
~ high, and also found Ii would be neces-
sary to cross on old-fashioned ferry,
which was equivalent almost to pulling
ones self across on a fiatboat. The ferry
was in charge of boy. l drove on with
the buggy and got fairly started, when
the rope attached TO the rear of the boat
that served to keep it from swinging down
stream broke with a snap and the boy be-
gan to cry. He seemed to be distressed
over the fear that his father would scold
or whip him. and in his excitement dropped
the rope with which he pulling
ashore, hand over hand, into the stream.
OF course. we then lost control of the boat,
and il swung rapidly down stream The
boy commenced to howl with a vengeance.
i was certainly in fine plight-hoating
down the Wabash on a fatboat with a
horse that l feared would become unman-
ageable and boy that was almost helpless
with fright. / got desperate finally. Look
here, | declared addressing the boy, you
stop that crying and come and hold this
horse I'll kick you off this boat, and
you swim or drown. Now, you can
take your choice, for / mean business
This declaration settled the youngster
somewhat and he took charge of the horse.
Then l got hold of a pole and sought to
shove the boat toward the bank. l found
that the water too deep to accomplish
much and we had foated for mile and
quarter perhaps before | managed to get
near enough TO bank to get the horse off.
We unhitched the animal and let it jump
from the boat and finally managed to pull
the buggy off. | think that about
thrilling an experience as L ever had-with

THE WOMAN is STUBBORN
MRS. STEFANEk MAY BE SENT TO
JAIL AND HUSBAND RELEASED.
She Refuses Absolutely to Turn Over
Jewels in Her Possession-Oth-
er Court Cases.

Mrs. Franz Stefanek continues TO battle
Judge Carter, of the Superior Court. and
the attorneys Connected with the case, with
her stubbornness in not turning over jewels
in her possession to secure a debt and in
cidentally to secure the release of her hus-
band, who is in Jail by order of the court
for failing to produce the security. Philip
Rappaport. who was engaged by the Stef-
aneks after Seidensticker & FlOrea had
tried their hand at the case and were I'M
able to do anything because of the attitude
of Mrs. Stefanek, has now dropped the
case as relating to her and is doing what
he can TO get Stefanek out of Jail.
The attorneys for both sides were before
Judge Carter yesterday, asking that Mrs
Stefanek be sent to Jail and her husband
released. She was sent to prison with
her husband, but on account of family of
small children Judge Carter released her.
Judge Carter does not know what to do
in the matter, as she has been released,
but it is understood that petition of some
sort will be presented to the court this
morning providing a means of releasing
Stefanek and committing his wife to Jail
instead. Mrs. Stefanek admits having the
jewels, but says she will never turn them
over. Judge Carter and the attorneys say
they never before had such a difficult
proposition confronting them.

ROBINSON MADE A MISTAKE.
In Genial Mood He Called an Old
Maid "Grandma."

Some Fort Wayne Republicans who were
in town yesterday were talking of James NJ.
Robinson, the Democratic representative In
Congress from the Twelfth district. Some
time ago." remarked Z. p. Daley, 81 was
walking along the street in Fort Wayne
when my attention was attracted to part
of a letter lying in the snow. L picked ii up
and was able to make out part of the con-
tents, although the letter had been torn to
pieces and thrown away. 1 made out these
words however: "Since the Republicans
have come into power they seem to have a
strong determination TO down the old SOL
der Therefore, at the present time L can
do nothing for you" The letter was signed
by James NJ Robinson and the signature
had been placed there with a rubber
stamp"
Yes" remarked another of the party;
that's Robinson style-making a play for
the old soldier vote" Another of the Fort
Wayne men told of Robinson's inclination
to shake hands and say something pleasant
to people-an inclination that once got him
into trouble. On this occasion he ap-
preached an elderly woman with a smile
and an extended hand. How do you do,
grandma? he said. Shake hands with
your member of Congress. The woman
looked startled and then blushed profusely
Robinson saw that something was wrong
and walked away. An acquaintance who
saw the incident came up to him with the
remark You id fool, that's an old
maid.

"a Run on the Bank, at the Park.

The second musical farce of the week
at the Park is "A Run on the Bank" pre-
scented by Charles Pussy and Bert St.
John and their company. The piece was
used several years ago by Ward and
vokes. and Pussy and ST. John retain
the names Percy and Harold, by which
the hrst-named comedians have been
tagged for years. Pussy and st. John use
nOndescript make-ups instead of the regu-
lation tramp costumes. They are clever
at fOolery, and their show is full OF dis
connected nonsense The first scene is the
yard OF the home of General Noteshaver;
the second, the interior OF Percy and
Harold's bank Char attached), and, third
the ballroom OF the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco.
Besides the principals. c. J. Burkhart
and Robert Blasco are the most prominent
members of the company. Burkhart has a
studied Jew caricature, and Blasco imper-
sonates a buttons that is continually
turning somersaults or diving through
windows and over fences. All the members
of the company are specialists and they
alternate with a chorus of lively girls
The entertainment goes quickly. In the
third act there is pretentiOus burlesque
of grand opera. The show is above the
average of the popular-priced musical
farces. 1t will stay at the Park until to-
morrow night.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
JUDGE ID. II. BALDWIN, OF LOGANS-
PORT, REMINISCENT.
Thoughts Called Out by the Lincoln
League Meeting-VisitOrs
at the Hotels.

Judge d. P. Baldwin. Of Logansport. at
the Denison yesterday, said: 1.-The flood of
young oratory at Terre Haute yesterday
reminds me of the fact that so long as In
diana was a pivotal State and when its
election in October determined who was to
be President in November. it was the best
place in the United States for an ambitious
young politician. Look at the list of big
men twenty years ago, remembering that
then Morton and Colfax were just dead.
Among the Democrats were Hendricks,
Mcdonald. Turpie, English and Voorhees,.
To match them the Republicans put up Col.
Thompson. Harrison. Butler. Gresham and
Porter, all of whom, except Porter, at
tanned high office. Since Indiana has be-
come a reliable Republican State, and the
necessity has ceased for these protracted
and bitter contests for supremacy, Rome
has lost the breed of noble bloods.'
1.-THE Democrats made their greatest mis-
take since the war when, in 1885, after
Cleveland's triumphant election, they de-
liberately abandoned the always interesting
and always available tariff issue for free
silver. There is small hope of success for
them except in local matters before 1906.
unless their opponents make some huge
Dlunder, which they are not likely TO do.
SO long as Bryan and his followers refuse
to go way back and sit down., the Re-
publicans have sure thing of it.
The Republicans a great deal
brighter, more up to date than the
Democrats. Suppose Philadelphia and its
Common Council were Democratic? The
world would not hold the noise. Philadel-
phia might easily be made more than an
offset TO Indiana. But the Democrats don't
seem TO know how. All the great comic
newspapers, which exert powerful
influence upon public opinion, are Repub-
lican. Nothing succeeds like success The
dominant party will always draw to ii
the bright young men-they who do the
: hard work-and by and by make the sue

Pat Reilly mt the Empire.

Much as Pat Reilly is admired at the
Empire Theater, he never is heavily ap-
plauded. Possibly his audiences look on
him as too intimate a friend to need noisy
approval His present visit shows him
not to have changed. He has the same
short cigar. which he brushes with his
stubby umbrella. and he continues to spit
on the stage. His caricature of the ignor-
ant Irishman is very near the truth and is
one OF the best hits in 1.-The variety" He
is too rough for vaudeville. He can carry
on a dialogue that has little point and
make il comic because it is natural For
instance. he has this colloquy with the
leader of the orchestra:
There are two kinds of German. Hoch"
splits and wipes his mouth-'or the pure
native German. and Platt Deutsch. The
Hoch was invented by a man from Cincin-
natl named Hochheimer. Can you speak
