Ernest Cooks home on West Third
street has been broken up, and all
because the wife took in a roomer dur
ing the absence of her husband at
Muscatine. where he was in the en-
ploy of a construction company. Cook
came home after an absence dating
from Labor day. Saturday night. and
when he reached the house found that
one of the three rooms had been let
to roOmer. This excited the wrath
of the construction laborer. and when
his wife came home there was some
hot words, during which Mr.. Cook took
hold of his wife and handled her rather
roughly, while he hurled the rOOmer'S
trunk and furniture into the hall. In
this assertion of his authority in his
own house Mr. Cook proved a little too
strenuous. Despite the fact that his
wife as he says, had torn his shirt into
shreds. she called for the police and
had Mr. Cook arrested on the charge
of assault and battery.

II For the last two months they have
virtually had the game in their own
hands. While all their movements
bear the stamp Of a prearranged
general plan of campaign, most me-
thodically carried out, there have
been occasions where they failed to
rise to a great opportunity. Before
the battle of Wa-feng-goa the Japa-
nese were within fifteen miles of Kai-
ping, and there was nothing to op-
pose their occupation of that import
ant place except half battalion of
railway guards. Had they seized
Kai-ping at that time with any force
General Stalkenberg's army must
have been lost. They had similar
opportunity to take Liaoyang while

PARKER AND GoRMAN.

While there is no friction in the
Democratic committee camp, as Re-
publican papers would have us be-
lieve, chairman Taggart has con-
sented to Senator Gorman's taking
hold of the New York end of the
campaign, while Mr.. Taggart will
manage the west and finance the
fight. Judge Parker will, in a large
measure, personally conduct his own
campaign, though he declines to
make a tour. He will address
crowds who go to Esopus, very much
as did Mr.. Mckinley at Canton.
The Republicans have nominated
a very weak state ticket in New York
headed by Odell's man, Frank w.
Higgins, for Governor. The Platt
and Odell factions are at logger
heads, and If the Democrats have
nominated strong state ticket it will
win and also help Parker to carry
New York.
