separated from his wife and baby, and

of Emil o. Jeanette, an ignorant Swiss,
who is now suing for recovery Of his

decade in the environs of Van Meter,
/ little country town near Des Moines.

| from his mother, as his share of the

have lived.
! Out of work and almost friendless,
Jeanette and his little family drifted
into Des Moines. There they were met
by representatives of an insurance
concern, who induced the ignorant
foreigner to sign note for $4,000 in
payment for an annuity life policy,
which has never yet been delivered to
the purchaser. The company sets UP
for defense the statement that it has
been unable, SO far, to realize cash on
the note.
On account of the prominence of the
defendants and the shady reputation
Jeanette has borne, Justice Duncan
at tirst refused to issue warrants for
their arrest. Justice Fritz HeinZe is
sued warrants for both of them. The
information charges kidnapping, OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses

Especial WASHINGTON ASGIIeE.l
TIME fame of Artemus Ward as a
humorist is in danger Of
eclipse. Mark Twain must look
to his laurels. Senator Charles
Warren Fairbanks has suddenly burst
upon an astounded world in the char
acter Of humorist and is running neck
ana neck with Yorick for first place.
He has given it out that he considers
Missouri a doubtful state and has
asked the national committee to cancel
some of his eastern dates and to as
sign him to Missouri. / wish the COM
mittee may do so. There is no place in
America where Senator Fairbanks
would be more royalty entertained or
do less harm. There are ia counties
in Missouri besides the city of St.
Louis, which is a Jurisdiction by itself.
1t would be a rafting good thing to
have the senator spend every day until
the election in Missouri. He would be
delighted with the hospitality extended
to him, and the people would be glad
to have him, for they are great lovers
of humor, and since he has placed Mis-
souri, in the doubtful column they re-
gard him as humorist Of the rarest
sort BY all means let the national
committee grant his request to cam
paign in Missouri.
