The Best Dressed Assembly.

Taking it all around. the house of
commons is the best dressed assembly
in the world. 1t has an air of good
breeding, of men accustomed to drawing
rooms and good society. The general
department comes up to a fairly high
average. You see honorable members
wearing their hats in the house and the
sight offends; but that is not a point of
manners, but a custom with a pfctur-
esque history at the back of it. You
sometimes, too, see honorable members
asleer, and you often hear unmannerly
Interruptions from the Irish and tory
benches. On the other hand, you never
see an English NJ. P, as / have often
seen an American congressman, enjoy
ing the luxury of a dry smoke" and
relieving himself by profuse splitting.
The house, too, is much more punctil-
ious than congress on the small points
of order. Whenever a member violates
them he is instantly hauled up. not
merely by the speaker, but by his fellow
members. to many of whom it is part
of the spice of life to pounce upon of
tenders AS for the oratoriacl standard
of the house it is difficult to speak with

Shawnee Delegation to Wichita
Won't Have Hands Tied.

Shawnee county will in all probable
ity send an uninstructed delegation to
the Wichita Democratic convention, at
which delegates to the national presi-
Dental convention will be chosen. The
sentiment of the ward caucuSes held
Wednesday night in each ward of the
city is reported to have been almost
unanimous against an instructed dele
cation.
The Democratic FIambeau club here
Endorsed Nelson A. Miles some time
ago, but that was more or less of a
joke. There has also been some talk
of a delegation instructed for Hearst,
but the conservative Democrats ase
much opposed to that PLAN So the
Shawnee delegation will be left free 10
do as it pleases when it finds out
which way the tide is turning in ma
tional politics.
The caucuses Wednesday night elect
ed delegates to the county convention
to be held Saturday morning, begin
ming at 10 o'clock. The convention will
nominate a county ticket, nominate
delegates to the two state conventions
and the congressional conventions, ana
elect a county committee, as recon-
mended by the ward and precinct eau
cuSeS.

ocratic county central committee has
received returns from all of the city
caucuses, but from none of the coun-
vertised for Wednesday afternoon. The

used to say that she saw more good
and more bad riding in the English
be passed on parliamentary eloquence.
Some of it is exceedingly good, better. I
think, than anything one is likely to
hear in congress: but much of it is
atrocious. On the whole, in this, as in
so many other spheres of Anglo-Amer-
lean comparatives, I should be inclined
to say that while the house of commons
best is better than the congressional
best, the house of commons average is
below the congressional average-Har-

Origin of City Plans.

All cities. with few exceptions, trace the
origin of their plan to the incIosed camp,
and many still show marked features of
primitive Notifications In all early
schemes for defense the inclosed square
was considered the best. From the time
when wagons were merely parked on the
plain to the time when buildings were con-
structed with blank walls to the enemy
and their facade to the open square, thlS
plan has been universally adopted; ana
nlaces of famous cities still show undeni-
able evidences of these precautions Tor

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt TO doctor himself,
although he may have the proper reme-
dies at hand A physician should always
be called. 1t should be borne in mind
however, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from attack of the grin
and that by giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of pneu-
monia may be warded Off This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat
ment of pneumonia with the best results.
Dr. w. j. Smith of Sanders, Ala who is
also a druggist, says of it: q have been

Husband Liquor After Being Notified Not To.

Almira Midday, of Louisville, has
filed Ave suits against as many saloon
keepers FOR damages under the Adair
liquor law, demanding $1,000 from
each, making total of $500. The
basis of the suits is the allegation that
in 1902 Mrs. Midday went to the various
saloonkeepers and notified them that
her husband was an habitual drunkard
ana that they should not sell him any
more intoxicants. The notification was
made in the presence of Witnesses, it
is claimed.

ELIJAH
FAILING TO REGENERATE
WILL RECUPERATE
HIS WANING FORTUNES
BY Starting Another Lace
Mill.

New York, June 27.-Though his
self-assumed task of regenerating New
York city has been dismal failure to
date, Elijah" Dowie has not aban-
doned his plan. On the contrary, he
took a step today that gave almost
positive evidence he intended to es-
tablish Zion City in the east-not in
the metropolis, to be sure, but as close
to it as possible.
On a special train and accompanied
by G. s. Lambert, general passenger
agent of the West Shore railway,
Elijah" went to Highland Falls, New
York, and out to Montgomery. There,
it was said, he bought a large tract of
land. II the purchase was not actu-
ally effected then and there, 1t Is GER
tain he spent several hours going over
the tract, viewing it with the air Of
one experienced in the laying out of
plots. In fact, he was overheard to
say to one of his companions that a
certain spot would be an ideal place
for the building of lace mill.
When the party came back to this
city tonight, Mr.. Lambert and the 9TH
er railway men refused to utter a
word Dowie talked, but his utterance
consisted only Of "go away; go away !;
it's none of your business what | am
doing at Highland Falls. What? An
other Zion City? Who says so? Go
away"

ALMOST A RIOT
AT sEBRING SUNDAY OVER A
BALL GAME.
Fake Arrests Were Made by Those
Running the Affair.

Fake Arrests Were Made by Those
Running the Affair.
Salem News: Sensational develop
ments resulted from the attempt of
the Alliance base ball team, to play a
final Sunday base ball game before dis
landing at Lake Park Sunday after
noon. The visiting team was the East
Liverpool aggregation.
When the first ball was pitched over
the plate, according 70 the usual Sun
day procedure, deputized constable
purportine to represent Justice Hasel-
tines court at Youngstown, stepped
out and notified the players that they
were under arrest.
The citizens committee. however,
being skeptical of the legality of the
proceedings on former occasions, had
fortified themselves by securing war
rants from the court Of Justice Kline
in Smith township, and Constable
johnson from his court was on tho
ground to serve thema Johnson was
n little slower than the other officer
however, and was informed that tn.
players had already been arrested
AMI could not be arrested the second
time for the same offense.
Constable Johnson demanded to
see the affidavit on which the first ar
rest was made, and when this was
produced it proved to be rank fraud.
1t was signed by w. J. Berry, superin
tendent for the Stark Electric Railroad
Co., and was not executed In due legal
form, some of the descriptions in the
affidavit being grossly incorrect. AT
torney Ewing of the Citizens com
mittee at once discovered the fraudu
lent nature of the affidavit, and the
! players were called together and in
formed that unless the game was
stopped at once they would be ar
rested and held for full investigation
of the whole transaction.
This broke up the game at the end
of the second inning, and the large
crowd in attendance at once demand
ed it's money back. At this turn In the
proceedings the gatekeeper, who was
in charge of the grip containing the
gate receipts for the day, made q
bolt, running and boarding a STARK
Electric car for Alliance. The CROWD
broke into run after him, boarded
the car and pitched him out, anCrily
demanding that the money be re-
funded. Supt. Berry of the street
railway company finally issued checks
to all the spectators, and announced
that these would be redeemed In
money at the company's Office in Ali
ance on Monday afternoon.
