When they ar rived here Jacob decided to re- main in this city while Samuel went to St Louis to complete arrangements for the exhibit. It was while in the Louisiana purchase exposition city that Samuel embarked upon a career of speculation which in a few weeks ate up all his money and made the plan of an exhibit impossible. Since his return here two weeks ago his brother had watched him almost con stantly, fearing that in his despond- ency the young man would commit suicide.

REPUBLICANS MAKE
 CITY HALL AIR RING.
Third Warders Outdid All Previous Eforts-Anti-na- chine Men Rode to Victory-''Ben Kelsey the Rack for His Famous Postal Card Affair-Has the Senator ia Bug But It is Said It Was Killed Saturday Night

not see what the inefficiency of the past city government had to do with the third ward republican caucus and how the objectionable element, unless the machine republicans were meant could be removed by man being present at the third ward caucus"
 The air was full of arguments on the postal card and the objectionable element when some one moved that the balloting should be begun. The result of the ballot was a victory for the Kelsey-Peasl faction. The win ming ticket, which contained the names of Henry o Wood, John J. Macauley, John Little, Louis E Fitz- simons and Adam Callan, received 1O5 votes, while the Walker Chesson- Geddes ticket. containing the names of John M. Burrall, 2d, Hugh A. Pen dlebury, Edward G. Goodenough, Er- nest A. Lewis and James Geddes, re ceived 95 votes.
 Judge Peasley was chairman of the meeting, William Wright was clerk, Charles Connors and Gilbert Tender son were tellers. The strong Italian and Lithuanian republican clements in this ward were noticeable on ac- count of their absence.
 After it had been announced at the third ward republican caucus on Sat- Jrday night that the Peasley- K elsey ticket had won, MT Kelsey said: ''I am sorry that we won. It means an- other year of hard work. I would pre- fer to be out of 1t, as it interferes with my business. Do you think that Kel- sey is in politics for Kelsey? No, he Is not. I have taken such an active part because wish to have clean poli- ties" A machine republican re- marked afterwards that "this was all hot air, that Kelsey was in politics for what he could get out Of 1t, and that the senatorial bee was buzzing in his bonnet" MT Kelsey out for clean poli- tics. 1t looks like it when he sends such a postal card as Lat one for MT Scott, and when one of his followers deliberately tries to stuff the ballot box. Mir Kelsey's actions during the past week or two have destroyed the small chance he had of being nomi- mated for senator. NIr Kelsey is a hard and earnest worker, but he is the cham pion of a forlorn faction"
