o LIKE CHICAGO.
Illinois City Makes Most Liberal OF,
fer for National Convention,

Ter TOT NdtIondl convention.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Money talks,
and members of the national commit
tees of the two principal political par.
ties are as susceptible to its dulcet
tones as the most ordinary individual.
Approaching the great value of a gen.
uine offer OF cash in shaping the To-
cation of the meeting place of the Re.
publican and Democratic national
conventions, politicians are generally
willing to admit that Chicago will
win hands down in the contest now
on for the honor of entertaining the
next presidential conventions. In the
rae with Chicago for the Republican
National convention are st. Louis,
San Francisco, Milwaukee. Detroit
and Pittsburg, but these contestants
have been distanced by Chicago in
the first heat. Chicago's offer TO do.
nate $4,000 to each of the big ma
tional conventions to help defray the
expenses, and its further offer to fit
up at a cost of about $4,000 the Coli
scum Building for their use free Of
charge. are the trump cards which
will bring uccess TO the efforts now
being made by Chicagoans to capture
them. The cash offer is most liber-
al, and is not likely to be duplicated
by any other city, although st. Louis.
ans are extremely anxious to get the
conventions as side attractions for
the exposition and promise to meet
any offer made by any other cities.
The Republican National commit
tee will meet here December 18th
and 18th for the purpose of selecting
the place and fixing the date for hold
ing the party convention.

The Law Makers,

A bill has been introduced in the
house providing that railroads shall be
compelled to isue annual passes to
members of the legislature, state Of
ficers and state employees, except clerks
of the legislature.
This bill is backed by former State
Auditor Dunn, who has come out OPEN
ly as its advocate.
He declares that such a law would
be excellent in many ways and he is
going to do all in his power to have
it enacted.
The bill, if passed will do away with
the usual grab for mileage money,
which amounts to conSidera BILE. Each
member is allowed Is cents mile for
the distance between his home and the
state capitol, which is figured to be
enough to cover about five trips dur
ing the session. AS each member is
given pass by the various railroads
the mileage money is a clear gift and
that should be stopped.
The bill will likely be vigorously
pushed but whether or not it viii pass
is question.
Representative Bowling has intro
duced a bill which provides for fur
nishing Sheriff Butchart, of st. Louis
county, a residence at the expence of
the county. According to the bill the
county must also furnish the sheriff
with a good and sufficient kitchen for
the preparation of food for the county
prisoners.
Representative Armstrong of Hen
nepin. introduced a bill to have the
constitution ammended so that pro-
posed constitutional amendments will
need to have only majority Of the
votes cast to pass.

DEATH OF JAMES MocoLGAN

After a lingering illness, in which
there were alternating hopes and fears
for his recovery, Mr.. James McColgan,
for the past twenty years resident OF
our town, departed this life at As O. clock
Tuesday afternoon. surrounded by his de-
voted wife and four daughters.
James McColgan was born in Ireland,
September Sd, 1892, and came to this
country with his parents in 184l, landing
in the city of Philadelphia, where he
learned the tailor's trade. He removed
to New Castle in 1855 and conducted a
business there until 1882 when he came
to Middletown, and has resided here con-
tinuously since that time. He married
Louisa, daughter of James Wise who
with four daughters survive him. In his
residence of more than a score of years,
Mr.. McColgan has made many earnest,
sincere friends. A man of pronounced
opinions, his disposition was such that
his views were not forced upon his fellow
men. Those who knew him best enjoyed
his wise and often witty comments upon
the events of the day. For several years
failing health has confined him closely to
his house and store, but his will power
was such that he kept at his work until
the last. He died in the harness.
Funeral services were held from his
late residence on East Main street, Fri
dav morning, and the remains were taken
to New Castle on the g. Is train for inter-
ment.
