$4,000 He was then in Brooklyn, and
induced Captain Jennings, who knew;
nothing wrong in the matter, to allow
the draft TO be deposited to his account
In the borough bank It was then agreed
that McNanaara should withdraw the.
money III sums Of $500 Later Jennings
discovered how Mcnamara obtained the
money and refused ID let him have any
more OF ii until he had obtained a re-
lease from the Fahys company
Mcnamara then made up his mind to
kill Jennings and did when he next visit

4 number Of millwrights have ar

Collins of Milwaukee will supervise
the worl, as foreman and expects to
keep large number Of men busy

pany will not be interrupted in turn
ing out flour and other mill products
longer than Is absolutely necessary.
Two carloads of the new equipment
have been received and the work of
transferring II to the mill and install
ing it in position Is now under way.
Besides the expert mill men that will
be employed ON the job there will be
work for carpenters and ordinary
working men.
The company has had an enviablo
reputation as the producer of high
grade milling products, but with the
now equipment of machinery it is
hoped to further improve the quality
of the products as we'll as to increase
the capacity for creating finished food
products out of grains.

I've been wondering how it happened.
Brother just laughs when l ask him
about it.
And one fellow who has a family
to support but doesn't, stood around
on the sidewalk and talked about the
combination that his party had
formed to do thus and so, and called
the other party bad names. Two
brothers, who vote differently got so
angry that they walk on the other
side of the street today because they
couldn't agree about the ticket.
Il don't see what they get out of
it. OF course they're saving the coun-
try. Some men are always out after
a political job, just trying to get
called thieves. Some men will start
in with the Office of dog catcher and
run for everything in sight right
straight up the ladder It's like going
for gold mine-one makes good
where 999 are lost in oblivion.
Il presume politics, a game that
will keep men working and scheming
and designing for months and months
of sleepless nights in order to get an
Office that doesn't pay any salary, is
interesting and worth the powder.
