ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL
CHARGE FOR EDITOR FAY

Tom Dennison, the Omaha policy
king and political boss, has sworn
out a warrant in Omaha charging l..
Z. Fay, publisher of the Clinton Adj
vertiser. with the crime of attempted
bIackmail. This was done because
Fay demanded that he help bring
about the return of the diamonds
stolen from the jewelry store of his
brother two years ago. DennisOn
says Fay made threats accompanying
the demand. Fay has not been ar
rested and probably will not be.
George McNutt. of the Des Moines de
tective force. expresses the opinion
that Editor Fay takes his life in. his
hands every time he goes to Omaha.
owing TO the bitterness of the feeling
entertained by Dennison and the
Omaha crooks against him.

he boarded with a family by the name

Jones evidently was disappointed
with the smallness Of the sum he had
stolen, for it is supposed he had the
purse in his pocket when he asked
consent of Mrs. Arndt to groom the
horse in the barn. This was a ruse.

On account of the antics of the Mis-.
s:Ssippi this spring the captain talked
on the subject of the latenesS of the
season. and the cause of delay. The
snow is a couple of feet thick in the
north and few warm rains may
revive the activity of the river, but
not until the right kind Of weather
comes. You see. the river season is
about two weeks behind time.
What do You think of the stage of
the water for the season." was ask
ed.
We'll. last year was such wet sea-
son. and the river was rising continu-
ally. We had several rises last year.
and il * natural after season OF
high water. the following year is
marked because of the low water.
have found that theory to be correct
in all my 30 years experience on the
river. l think there was one eXcep-
ton to that. Back in the seventies we
had two low water seasons conSecu-
lively. This was the only time though
think. The water is a study and by
experience you can anticipate its act
ions.
The river should be a busy place
this summer. The boats will be kept
going all the time transporting the
crowds to the fair grounds. With Il
fair stage Cf water the season should
he a very good one. but with low wa
ter the boats may be greatly handi-
capped. Take in case of exceedingly
low water, that which is due. the big
packets will not be able to 90 above

The question of holding Il revival
under the auspices of the protestant
churches of the city during the sum
mer. probably of n months duration,
was brought before the union meet
ing held at the Memorial Christian
church last evening at which Rev. Ar
thur Fowler. the singing evangelist.
preached. His subject was THE Five

Following the sermon. Rev. II. ".
Reed. pastor of the First Baptist
church. took charge of the meeting.
There was Il free discussion of the
proposition to bring to the city an
evangelist of note to conduct open air
or tent meetings. 1t was stated that
there would be an expense of at least
S400. which would have to ne raised
among the churches joining in the un-
dertaking. 1t was thought that a
tent seating at least 400 persons
should be secured
Ripe for an Awakening.
1t was stated that it had been years
since Rock Island had a revival of the
nature of the one proposed. and the
city was ripe for just such an awaken
ing of religious interest as would be
brought about.
1t was voted finally to refer the
matter to the official boards of the
churches interested. The boards will
hold meetings Sunday and each APP
point a committee of three to a con

THOSE QUEER WOMEN.

Women are mighty queer about
some things" remarked a conductor
the other day, to a representative of
the Philadelphia Ledger. 1--WE been
watching them for ten years on this
line, and every day 1 see some new
popularity. You just watch the next
one that gets in. There's one vacant
seat left, and she'll walk up to it and
turn clear around in her tracks be-
fore she sits down. Here comes one
now"
Sure enough, the woman who step
ped on the car just then spied the
empty seat, made for it, and, reaching
it, turned clear around before she sat
down.
You see how it is" continued the
conductor, returning after taking her
fare. They all do it; there isn't
one woman in ten but what turns
around before she takes her seat. Per-
haps it's natural for 'em, just as it is
for a dog to whirl around three times
before he lies down. I've seen more
than one woman lose her seat by hav-
ing some one else slip into it while
she was going through her preliminary
turn. But a little lesson like that
doesn't do them any good; they keep
on turning around before taking a seat
just the same"

THE HAND HE HELD.

Things had progressed, says the New
York Press, to a point where the
young man had been practically re-
ceived into the family circle. While
he hadn't yet mustered up sufficient
courage to ask the old mans consent
it was evident that he would in time.
Thus it happened that the old man,
who liked nothing better than a good
game of whist or euchre or hearts, in
vited him to little game one even

it would be policy to refuse.

Gladys and me. That will be fair.
If you and Gladys sat opposite each
other you would probably persist in
looking into each others eyes, to the
great detriment of the game"
Naturally the young woman and the
young man blushed, but they said
nothing, and the game began.
1t wasn't much of a game. While
the young woman wasn't sitting OPP

next to him. and every few minutes
one or the other of them forgot to play
when it was his or her turn. Then, too.
there were frequent inquiries as to
who took the last trick and what was
trumps, and altogether the old man
felt a good deal like swearing on one
or two occasions.
Finally he made up his mind that
patience had ceased to be a virtue. The
game had come to standstill while
the young people exchanged conf

only place in town where well dressed
women sit on high stools in front of
counter and order their luncheons like
men.

Nothing of the kind" answered the
first. almost every woman you see
there is the wife or the daughter Of a
man with a fairly comfortable income,
and you may be sure that three-fourths
of them are eating what they regard
as really nourishing food. and strictly
limiting the price of their luncheon TO
a sum considerably under that which
their fathers, brothers and husbands
are paying for luncheon downtown.
'gThose women are mostly eating

W0MAN'S RESENTMENT.

A man OF very great success in
worldly affairs, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, states that there is one point
essential to such success, which very
few men grasp, and he would like to
say, women, never.
The point he has reference to is that
of making no enemies. 1t is the motto
to which he has chung and to which
he attributes his success. He recon-
mends it to the study of aspirants in
any avocation.
One is inclined at first to question
the justice of his structure on women.
Yet, after all, where their affection is
not concerned, they have difficulty In
adapting themselves to the law of
"give-and-take," which obtains in
business, and to which men are well
accustomed.
They have also stronger sense of
injustice than men, and are perhaps
more unforgiving when it comes to
small resentments; added to this they
have pronounced likes and dislikes.
Thus, they are more likely to make
enemies, it would seem, and at all
events, they are seldom inclined to be
conciliatory toward persons of appar-
emily little Importance in their sphere,
except from genuine liking.
The folly of this is obvious. The
