opinion that the time is approaching when

! There are some exceptions and In many
districts Judges hold office for an indefinite
period. This is not the general rule, how
ever. Should the state see lit to double
the length of the terms of the distric
Judges, II would be merely placing itsel
on a par with some Of the eastern states
where district Judges hold once for termi

The Woman and the Rope.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: 81 have a friend"
said a New Yorker, "who travels a good
deal, and recently made a trip, accom-
panied by his wife. She had read so much
about hotel fires that she made him pur-
chase a rope ladder and roll it up and
carry it along in his trunk.
"They we're on the fourth floor Of a
southern hotel one night, when there was
an alarm of FIRE. You look after our valu-
ables, John shouted the wife, as she jumped
out Of bed, and I'll get the ladder
"She, dived to the bottom of the trunk,
grabbed the bundle, tore the end Of the
paper to make sure, and then turned and
threw the whole outfit out Of the window,
nearly hitting a hackman in the street.
Fortunately there was no danger, and when
the husband dressed and went down stairs
for the rope he found that it was gone"

SHORTAGE OVER FIVE HUNDRED
Ticket Seller cannon Was All Right
Up to within n Few
Weeks.

Nothing was learned yesterday as to tho
whereabouts Of Thomas II. Cannon, the
missing ticketseller at the Rock Island local
depot. His books were checked over yes
terday by an auditor of the railroad, but
the local officials declined to make public
the exact amount OF the shortage, although
admitting it was over $500. The investiga-
tion showed that Gannon's shortage &C.
Cured all within the last few weeks. The
tickets have yet to be Systematically
checked over and It is possible that a fur
Their shortage may develop. Mrs. Cannon is
of the opinion that her husband had con-
templated leaving for parts unknown for
several days before he disappeared from re-
marks he made, but which at the time she
paid no heed to.
Some Of his friends are inclined to the
belief that Cannon has enlisted in the reg
ular army, possibly under an assumed name,
as he had a taste Of military life during
the Spanish-American war.
