Gambling Flaunted in Print
A CARD OF THANKS


The kind proprietor Of THE TIMES
always doing his share in looking
after the welfare Of the people.
While | am in duty bound to ac-
knowledge and thankfully appreci-
ate his extremely kind reference to
me IN his paper of the oath inst,
will merely let him know that IL is
entirely unnecessary for him to have
any anxiety in regard to my ability
OF getting along, as my. resources
place me IN an absolutely independent
position and fully able to enjoy all
the ordinary Injuries Of the country.
Rudolph Hess.
Inc above appeared in the last is
sue OF the Washburn News, and it
speaks for itself. The TIMES has no
reply to make to the fine vein of sar-
casm which runs through Mr.. Hess
| card OF thanks" but we would like
to know if it has come to "a point here
in Washburn when a professional
gambler can boldly faunt his calling
in the eyes of the decent people of
the community, and defy public de-
cency and public morality in the
pubic print. We have no time to
quarrel with men of the stamp of
Mr.. Hess, and would not notice the
matter, only inasmuch as it is one
r
OF public concern. It is known
throughout the town that this man
IS only common gambler, and does
nothing else. He boasts Of the fact
OF his absolutely independent posi-
tion, which we understand is OBJ
tanned from some estate or other,
drolied out at intervals and which
gives him the capital which he uses
in his gambling business. We com
mended last wee. the position taken
by the town board relating to sup
pressing certain forms of gambling,
and we re-assert that there is no
more reason why professional poker
playing should be tolerated than any
other form Of professional gambling.
Hess is a glazing example of one Of
the beneticiaries of the towns ex-
emption under their order The
board has done well SO far-that
they can do still better is pointed
out clearly in the case of this gen
tleman Of the green cloth. = He is
exactly of the same class of the herd
who prospered here a couple of years
ago, and should be sent with the rest
of the gang.

morrow night few seats will be left. The
authors will all be here to-day.
Mrs. Catherwood, who reads tonight, is
anxiously awaiting the appearance of
''Lazarre" on the stage of the Grand opera
House, Chicago, next fall. Otis Skinner
wrote her recently that his work as
dramatist, in which he has been assisted by
Aubrey Boucicault, is just completed. His
work as producer and stage manager is
about to begin. Mr.. Skinner believes that
in the part of the lost Dauphin of France
he has the most congenial role he has ever
essayed. 1t is not a play of action and in
cdent only, but the title part calls for
deep intellectual and emotional ability.
Those who saw Mr. Skinner last year in
Francesca da Rimini'' will have no doubt
as TO Mr.. SINNERS fitness for this exact
ing part.
Mrs. Catherwood has taken a long rest
since the appearance of "LaZarre," but
now she says she can stand the strain of
idIeness no longer and is turning her hand
to the construction of another novel. What
she has been pleased to call idleness would
seem a strenuous life to almost any other
woman, for, in addition to her household
duties, which are many, she has simply
been overwhelmed with correspondence and
with social attention. She has appeared at
a number of clubs for informal readings,
the latest one being at Louisville before
the Woman's Club of that place. Mr.. Riley
and Mrs. Catherwood are great friends.

ference with S. B. Rathbone, jr.. special

of rural free delivery, and is anxious TO
see his district well represented in the rural
free delivery service. He says his district
is especially adapted to rural free delivery
on account of the excellent condition of the
country and the good roads. Notwith-
standing the fact that there are repre-
sentatives in Congress requesting routes to
be established at once in different parts
of the United States. Mr.. Holiday expects
to have between thirty and fifty Bew routes
investigated in his district within a few
weeks.
Mr. Holiday will deliver the Memorial
day address a. Brazil to-day and will

steel casting plant that is to be erected
there, and of which enterprise he is the
promoter Matthews is a thriving place in
the southern part of Grant county. The
town was named after the late Governor
Matthews. 1t is said to be enjoying
great boom. and stories come from there
TO the effect that there are not enough
houses to accommodate the people and
many of them have to live in tents. The
G. & +. L. road is one of the features that
has given the town a business boom. The
Matthews Land Company has also done
much toward its growth. Mr.. Clifton says
IL is the present plan 10 build steel cast
ing mill after the style of a mill at Peru
However, Notwithstanding that this is the
plan. the promoters have hopes that some
thing more extensive may develop. IL is
announced that there are some negOtia-
tons on which. If they result successfully.

casting plant which instead of being SINH

Larz A Whitcomb who was one of Ma
ZION county's representatives in the last
Legislature. and who has been a candidate
for the joint senatorial nomination from
Marion and Morgan counties. yesterday an
nounced his withdrawal from the race. Will
liam p Reagan withdrew from the contest
several days ago. In announcing his with
drawal Mr.. Whitcomb said: I'm ceasing
to be a candidate for the nomination for
joint senator from Marion and Morgan
counties 1 do not withdraw in the interests
OF any one. In this nomination the claims
of Morgan county have been presented.
and at the time 1 became a candidate
said that at no time would I permit my
candidacy TO stand in the way of the nomi-
nation OF a man for this Office who should
reside in Morgan county. There IS a de-
cided sentiment in Marion county that Nor
gan county should be given this nomination
this time. / have therefore decided TO with
draw. hoping thereby to relieve in some de-
gree the situation and to promote a har-
mony which 1 trust will result favoraby

three other candidates in the race in this

not think il feasible for candidate to
withdraw at this late day after he has in
