lie questions, what they have to say and
the way they vote upon every issue. This
data will be carefully considered by the
executive committee. which will determine
just what points should be made in the
record maintained in each man.
All this work must necessarily be care
fully done. The league does not desire
to injure any man who is a public official
or a candidate for office. but it will stick
rigidly to the truth at all times in COM
piling the individual records, and when the
right time comes the records will be used
fearlessly, whether they are inmical or
advantageous to the interests of the in
dividuals.
In primary campaigns the league will
use these records in the effort to have only
the best men nominated by all parties.
In the campaign for election the league
will indorse the best men nominated, ir-
respective Of party affiliations, and in cases
where an especially unfit man is a can
didate the league may send out speakers
to work against him and for his opponent
The most of the work of the league, how
ever, will be done before the nominations
are made and will be done by the means of
literature sent out through the mails
AS soon as the returns are in from the
circulars sent out to-day the executive
committee will meet and form permanent
organization and elect officers 1t will
probably be several weeks before this is
done

The police at the Capitol see all sides OF
life during the sessions OF Congress. 1t is
like the passing show to them. They see
distress and they see gayety. During
former session of Congress Captain Me-
grew was brought into contact with par
ticularly distressing case. One OF the rules
which the department has to enforce is
against soliciting. One day elderly
man, whose manner indicated that he had
seen better days. was taken in charge by
an officer for attempting TO solicit small
amounts OF money from senators. He was
brought into the office OF Captain MegTew
and questioned. The man explained that
he had come from Colorado and said that
Senator Patterson, of that State. his
friend. He begged TO be released, and was
allowed 10 go on the promise that he would
not repeat the offense complained of. The
next day, however, he was found mingling
among the senators again, soliciting funds.
The day before Captain Megrew had told
him II he was found soliciting again he
would be sent TO the police station. When
the offense was repeated the captain kept
lookup. He piteously begged Captain Me-
grew TO release him declaring that IL Sen
ator Patterson knew of his plight the SEN
ator would not allow him TO be sent of.
But the Capitol police did not take his story
seriously and he was handed over tc the
city police. What became of him Captain
MeSTeW never learned. out ne supposed ne
was probably released in Police Court.
Next day when Senator Patterson heard
of the case he was greatly shocked. 81
would not have had that happen for thou
sands of dollars" said he. THAT man was
at one time one OF the wealthy promoters
of Denver. He has put up some OF the
finest buildings in that city" 1t seemed
that the old man had approached Senator
Patterson a few days before and the SEN
ator had given him a half dollar. The man
mad asked the senator II he remembered
him and Patterson said he did in order to
get rid Of him. He did not really remem-
Der the man until the case was explained
to him by Captain Megrew.

GIVEN UP FOR LOST.
Steamer Bannockburn Supposed to
Have FOundered in Midlake.

SAULT STE MARIE, Mich, Nov. o.
The steamer Bannockburn with her crew
of twenty men, is given up for lost by
local marine men. The report received last
night that she was ashore near Michipo-
coten seems to be without foundation. The
belief that the steamer has met with dis
aster Is strengthened by the fact that the
steamer Rockefeller. which arrived here
to-day, reported passing through wreckage
off Standard Rock. This is supposed to be
from the missing boat. The wrecking tugs
Boynton and Favorite have made a search
along the North shore of Lake Superior
without finding a trace of the Canadian
steamer. The accepted theory is that the
Bannockburn foundered in midlake, went
down with all on board.

As he invoked theLord God of Abra
ham. Isaac and of Israel. ito let 1t be
known this day that I am Thy servant
and that have done these things at
Thy word" the fire of the Lord fell
and not only consumed the sacrifices,
but also the wood and the stones and
the dust and licked up the water that
was in the trenches.
The king. with the whole multitude: !:
pronounced the verdict Elijah said
/ to the people Take the prophets OF
| Baal let not one of them escape
They did so and brought them down
10 the brook Kishon. and slew them
there,
The place is still pointed

tthe mound' of the priests). where
their bodies are said to have been
buried.
Then Elijah cast himself upon the
ground put his face between his knees
and prayed earnestly for rain but it
did not come until his servant had
gone up to the top of the mountain
seven times and looked out upon the
blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Then "a little cloud like a mans
hand" was seen to rise from the sea
Elijah said to the king. Prepare thy
chariot and get thee down, that the
rain stop thee not" In the mean
time the heaven was black with
clouds and wind and there was
great rain" and the drought of three
years and half was brought to
close.
There is no dispute about the loca-
tioN of this great tragedy. The only
question abo1t the whole story has
been where Elijah got the water with
which his altar was drenched There
is no spring in the neighborhood. The
Mediterranean is eighteenu miles dis
tant, and the nearest source would be
the brook Kishon, which never has
water in the summer and must have
been as dry as a bone after three
wears of drought.
