USES A SHARP STICK.
Ell Dorado Times PrOds T.. B.
Murdoch.

It has been hera1ded abroad that a
big "Hoch club" has been formed at
Ell Dorado for the purpose of insisting
that E. ". Hoch run for governor
Thomas Benton Murdoch is the head
mogul of the club. Colonel Murdoch
has been very insistent for weeks that
Mr.. Hook sacrifice himself to the "call
of the people''-"the people" being
disappointed office-seekers. to a large
exte1t-because Governor Bailey has
displeased him and because of the ex-
travagance of the last legislature.
It now develops that one of Colonel
Murdock'S employees on the Ell Dorado
Republican participated in the extrava-
gance of the legislature by the grace
of Senator Leidy, another patriot who
is demanding that Mr.. Hoch run for
governor. Senator Leidy is a partisan
of Burton and hence does not approve
of Governor Bailey's course. Leidy
was chairman of the committee ON edu-
cation in the senate. He appointed
Myrtle Leidy as clerk of the committee,
and then appointed Miss Rose Ed
ington. who is one of Murdock'S en-
ployes, as the committees stenographer.
The committee did not need a clerk
and stenographer both-in fact, if it
had been necessary one of the MEM
bers of the committee could have done
the work of the clerk, and one of the
regular senate stenOgraphers could
have done the work of the stenograph
er. but the legislature was not run on
that plan. Senator Leidy is not to
blame any more than dozens of other
members of both houses. Every mem
Der put every employe on the payroll
that he could possibly secure. The diff
ference between Leidy and some of his
friends and the friends of the admin
istration is that the Burton crowd is
trying to throw the blame for it's own
actions on to Governor Bailey, while
the others say that both houses and
both factions were equally reprehens-
ible in the matter of legislative en-
mon reform
This Burton element in Butler county
is the crowd that is forming the '.Hoch
governor. The Ell Dorado Times pub
fishes a lengthy editorial in which it
tells the animus which is back of the
organization of the club. It says:
"A fight has suddenly been Inaugural
ted in his county against Governor w.
]. Bailey and with a great blare of
trumpets it is being heralded to the
people that he is a man wholly unfit for
the high position he occupies. He is
charged with being a machine governor,
whatever that is, and accused of doing
the bidding of some dark, hidden ma
chine that like the octopus of the
Populists is stalking through the land.
1t is therefore natural that people
should stop to inquire what this is all
about. Where does this fight all come
from? Where are the motives that
prompt it2 Are they honest motives
prompted by a purpose to serve the
best interests of the people, or are they
prompted by disappointment and re-
venge2 Where does this whole fight
come from in Butler county? It is from

A Chicago Man Wins 8 Wager of
$500.

$500.
Chicago, Dec. s.-Clad in a rubber
swimming suit and armed with a pad
die with which to ward off ice cakes,
Captain Sidney Human, an Australian
has lowered himself into the Chicago
river just below the Rush street bridge
and swan with the icy current down
to the Madison street bridge, a distance
of nearly mile, winning $500 from Geo.
w. Turnbull, a contractor, who had bet
him that he would not dare attempt the
feat.
Mr.. TurnbulI was at every bridge as
his friend went by, and had a cab
awaiting him when he emerged from
his icy swim at Madison street, cheered
by an admiring crowd.

well, I may be, but I'm no joke
The speakers were George w. Turn
bull, a Chicago contractor, and Captain
Sidney Human, an Australian who on
Saturday astonished the clerk at the
Auditorium Annex by asking for a So
pound cake of ice with which to Chilli
the water in his tub while he bathed.
The scene was the corridor of the no
tel.
Mr.. Turnbun and Captain Hinman
had a business engagement. The con-
tractor had read the accounts in the
morning papers of the captains endeav-
ors to harden himself against Chicago's
rigorous climate, and the first thing he
did was to open up on him with a fire
of good natured josh about his ice
water baths. The Australian took Of
Tense.
That's nobody's business but my
own he said shortly
'Oh, come, I don't believe you take
the baths,'' urged Turnbull.
This. preeipitated the argument. the
upshot of which was an offer on the
part of Captain Human to swim the
Chicago river at any hour of the day
stipulated by Turnbul.
IN show you that a man like me is
not afraid of a little cold water" he
declared.
TurnbuH promptly took up the offer,
and the two men deposited their money,
81, 900 in all, with Clerk Dunning of the
hotel. The contractor set the time and
place at II o'clock noon, in the Chicago
river at the Clark street bridge. The
captain agreed to swim the river, and,
failing, to forfeit the money Each of
the two men was confident last night
that he would win.
