"~AHE trouble with Sam Abbott,
said Hilyard, lis that he
doesn't know anything. I'm
not saying that to be hard
upon him, but because it Is true. He
has had college education, and he has
read a great many books, but his life
has been so monotonous and so narrow
and his observation so deficient that he
has never seen anything out of the or
binary. And he absolutely lacks credu
lily. If he had a little it would help
him. His magazine needs it badly
81 should think he must be a queer
sort of man for an editor" said Miss
Leigh.
Hilyard, who had lived by his pen for
ten years and had fought his way up
to the level of a creditable success, was
unable to agree fully with the young
lady's remark.

to this particular story which Abbott
has rejected on account Of the improb-

criticism would have been that the
matter of confusing resemblance be-

an affair of earthly life that it has been
oyerworked in fiction. Yet as the de

Let him stand on the platform of his
principles, whatever they may be, and

1.-THE man who puts himself and his
personal ambitions above principles,
for the salary there may be in it and
the honors, is like the school teacher
who was asked whether he thought
the world to be fiat or round. I've al
ways thought that it was round he
said, but if you want it taught fiat,
to suit the ideas or beliefs here, I
can do it just as WELL
Whether or not Mr.. Bryan's remarks
were taken from his stock phrases in
cluded in his general lecture without
thinking of their bearing on the Iowa
democratic situation, or whether they
were given deliberately, is what has
put the Des Moines democrats in a
quandary. ----.

BOLD THEFT
BANDITS GET BIG BOOTY FROM
JEWELRY STORE WHILE THE
STREET is CROWDED.

Chicago, August Diamonds and
other precious stones valued at $1O,-
900 were stolen from the show window
of Louis Weber & Co., late yesterday
afternoon while the street was filled
with passers by. The bandits gained
entrance to the basement beneath the
credit house and making hole below
the show window secured a large
amount of valuables and escaped. De-
tectives are working on the case, but
have as yet been unable to locate any
of the participants. 1t is the opinion
of the officers that five men were i'm
plicated in the robbery, which was
one of the boldest ever perpetrated in
this city.

The efficacy of judicious advertising

method of billing the town with post

Christian religion to those who accept
salvation while 1t is free. The method
of procedure has appealed especially
to the business men and they are at
tending the meetings in large num-
bers. Three meetings each day are
now necessary to accommodate all
who wish to attend. At Creston DR..
Lamkin could not find a house large
enough to hold the people who wished
to attend.

INAuGuRATED TO PREVENT

DUNCAN A. CANDIDATE
Dissatisfaction Among Labor Organ

ell and keefe Said to be Hostile.

Chicago, Aug. IA campaign that
Gompers for presidentof the American
Federation of Labor at the next con-
vention, is reported to have been in
augurated by some of the labor unions.
1t is now believed that James Duncan,
secretary of the granite cutters, will be
asked to take the field against Mr..
Gompers, who has directed the affairs
of the federation for the past twenty
one years. 1t is stated that the
movement is being led by the mine
workers and the longshoremen and it
is expected that Chicago will for the
next few weeks be the mecca for prom
inent labor men, who are fighting the
present leader.
Mitchell Said to Be Opponent.
Friends of Gompers say that Presi-
dent John Mitchell is opposed to him,
President d. J.Keefe of the Longshore-
men is also mentioned as an adversary.
The mineworkers, ironworkers and
longshoremen have rallied to their sup
port the brewery workers, with 10000
men; the carpenters, with more than
100000; and the bottle blowers with
10000.
The conservative policy of Gompers
is said to have made enemies for him.
The change in the presidency would
revolutionize the federation. The ten
dency of coercing all organizations in
the same industry to join one central
union would receive an impetus max
ing industrialism the policy of the fed.
Grafton, say believers in that idea.
The labor leaders refused to discuss
the move against Gompers yesterday
but acknowledged they had heard OF
| it.
1T is common talk said President
| w. Mahon of the street car men.
/ Il have heard OF it, too" said Sec
rotary Thomas l. Kidd of the woot
workers, "but as am a member of the
executive council of the federation the
opponents of Mr.. Gompers do not come
to me-"
| Il do not care to give my position il
a matter of this kind said President
w. G. Schardt of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor. Il do not deny the move
ment is under way"
i The conferences next probably vii
occur as soon as the labor leaders sup
porting the move reach the city. 1t Is
probably they will attempt to maintain
secrecy, but will make arrangement:
to conduct a systematic campaign.
