National Campaign Funds.

During national campaigns the books
of the treasurer and manager are kept
In a peculiar way Instead Of entering
accounts by name each account is
given a number and is thus carried
throughout the campaign. The key to
this legendary system is known only
to two Or three trusted men, and the
accountants who keep the books have
not the slightest knowledge of what
state committee or other organization
Or individual stands behind the num-
Der. After the campaign is over the
books are burned, and all the records,
except possibly some private memoran-
da kept by the manager, are. wiped
out of existence Such a thing as the
auditing of campaign expenditures was
never known and probably never will
be known SO far as national campaigns
are concerned. Everything is trusted
to the honor Of the responsible men,
and have never heard that any Of
the managers Of a national campaign
were suspected of betrayal of their
trust in any way.-WaIter Wellman in

Rhinelander, Wis, Sept. "a. - The
dead body of Louis Donnerstad, aged
90 years, with the skull crushed and
two bullet holes in it, has been brought
here. Information as to his condition
was sent by daughter, who stated
that hel father had committed suicide.
The daughter and Sadie Slack, who
had been staying at Donnerstad's
home, are under arrest, and officers
are looking for Hugo Donnerstad, a
son, who escaped to the woods prior
to the officers arrival.
DOnnerstad did not approve of his
sons attention to Miss Slack, and is
said to have driven her from his house
with a butcher knife. He had served
a term in Waupun prison, charged
with killing 500 line brakeman about
twelve years ago. Indications are that
the man was first shot, and not dying
instantly his head was beaten in with
an ak.

Letter.

Esopus, n. Y, Sept. q. Judge
Alton r. Parker and his secretary
went to New York this morning Many
kilograms have come to ROsemOunt
cOngratulating Judge Parker on his let
ter Of acceptance. Some of the dis

from editors. A delegation of thirty
six Democrats from POughkeepsie

with Judge Parker.
Judge Parker's letter of acceptance,
replying to challenges in President
ROosevelts letter, declares he would
revoke the pension order creating an
age limit, rs having been a usurpa-
ton by the executive department. Then
he says he would advocate the enact
ment of law establishing an age
qualification for pensioners. On the
trusts he replies to criticisms of his

United States supreme court decision
supporting his view.
He answers the demand for specifi-
cations as to his scheme of economy
by the intimation that as the eXpend-
itures of the government have doubled
since 1886 there is strong presump-
ton of extravaganza which calls for
an investigation that should lead to a
reform in all departments.
He sees a danger in Imperialism de-
clares for a promise of independence
to the FilipinOs such as the Cubans
enjoy, saying that "a free people can
not withhold freedom from another
people and themselves remain free;;"

Chicago, Sept. -. = The Pullman

The shops have been non-union ever

But these men willingly accepted the
decrease in pay. and several thousand
of the former employees left the yards

because they could not return to work
even at the reduction in wages. 1t is

WROOtS and SaddIeS.v

The we'll known call of 'boots and
saddles is really a corruption of the
old French signal bouteselle-'put on
your saddles"-from bouter, to put or
place, and selle, saddle. The medieval
saddles were of such a cumbrous and
heavy make that they were taken off
the horses whenever possible. In
Mathews Powerful Favorite" of 1928
occurs the phrase 'the trumpets sound
ed boute-selle."
In 1909 Steele wrote in the Taller,
'The sound was changed to boots and
saddle" but it seems probable that
the phrase ran in it's present form be-
fore that date, possibly coming into
1 use during the civil war among the
Roundheads, to whom the old French
boute-selle would seem pandering to
the cavalier and French tendencies of
the court.-London Times.

Frightful Accident Occurs at

of Boston.
TEN PEOPLE KILLED OUTRIGHT
Four Are Injured Fatally and Fife
teen Others Hurt More or
Less Severely.
Box of Dynamite Was Dropped from
Wagon and Before Driver
Could Recover 1t, Was
Hit by Car.

Boston, Sept. 23.-Ten persons were
! killed outright, four were injured IA
tally and fifteen others were severely
hurt in Melrose, suburb of this city,
when q trolley car bound outward
from here was blown up by dynamite.
The victims were passengers on the
car. Following are the dead:
Or. Malcolm e. Mcclellan, Melrose

Mrs. Haynes, his wife; Marion, 4-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes;

Conway, MelrOse, both legs broken,
internal injuries; DR.. Perry, Wakefield
both legs broken, internal injuries; Ed
ward A. Waterhouse, Melrose, foot cut
off, badly mangled.
Strikes Box of Dynamite.
The cause of the explosion was the
striking Of ffty-pound box Of dyua-
mite, which had fallen from an ex-
press wagon just ahead of the car. The
express wagon was driven by John
Costello who discovered that the box
had dropped off and rushed back to
take it off the track, but before he got
within a hundred yards of the box the
car came along and was blown up.
Costello was not aware that the box
contained dynamite.
So great was the force of the explo-
sion that two men fifty feet away were
severely injured by flying wreckage,
while every window within a quarter
of q mile was broken. Most of the
passengers were Workingmen on their
way home When rescuers reached the
scene of the accident the sight was ap-
palling. The ground was covered with
torn and mangled bodies of the dead
and the writing forms of the injured.
Doctors Hastily Summoned.
All the doctors in the vicinity were
summoned and others called from
nearby towns. Those of the injured
who seemed likely to survive their in
juries were taken to the hospitals of
Melrose and Maiden. Others who APP
peared to be at the point Of death
were removed to a nearby hospital,
while the police began the grewsome
work of collecting the dead.
When the car left Boston it con-
tanned about seventy people, but many
had alighted in Maiden and at other
points, and when the explosion came
there were forty passengers. The con-
ductor, who stood on the rear platform,
was not injured, and about ten feet OF
the rear end remained intact. j..
