STOVE PIPE CAUSED FIRE.

A telephone message yesterday after
noon summoned the firemen from No.
4 fire station to No. COG Ell street, where
a defective stove pipe had set fire to
the house occupied by Belle Clark, col
ored.
The flames had eaten their way
through the ceiling and were burning
between the ceiling and the roof when
the firemen arrived. A stream from the
chemical engine extinguished the blaze.
The damage was not great, though for
a time it was thought most of the
house would be destroyed.

&c sTRATEoY.

Senator spOOner particularly
likes to tell stories showing the
humorous side Of legal proceed
ings. Here is one repeated By the
Saturday Evening Post (Philadel-
phia):
Senator spoOner tells Of 3 law
yer in Wisconsin who had been
retained by 3 farmer to prosecute
a suit against q neighbor relative
to the title to 3 strip Of land rum
ming between theft respective
farms.
1t appears that during 2 cOnver-
aation e. to the status Of the suit
the first mentioned farmer suggest
ed to bis attorney thai Il might b
3 good idea to send the presiding
Judge 3 couple Of ene turkeys.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1904-04-27

"Dear mel" exclaimed the coun
sci, "that would never do, my
man! You would be sure to lose
your suit!"
Nothing more was said on the
subject. The case came up, was
tried, and Judgment was rendered
in the plaintiff favor. When the
news was brought to him, the far
mer expressed his satisfaction,
adding: 81 sent him the turkeys!''
Too astOnished at the mans
temerity to say anything, the law
yer merely stared at his client.
'eYes," chuCkled the farmer, q
sent him the turkeys, but I sen.
them in my opponents name.

pPOVePDS

when the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

There was q Kansas farmer who
looked like 3 Reuben, but who, as
q matter Of fact, was q smooth
article by nature.
This farmer man was slow to
express a preference when IL came
to choosing between political can
didates, for be wanted the various
candidates to come to see him, and
he also managed to create the i'm
preston that he was a man OF III
Auence in his neighborhOOd, and
could swing a good many votes
when he felt that way. Generally
the candidates would begin to call
on this farmer man along about
the time when the robins were
building their little nests and the
ishworms we're eginnin to stir up
the moist earth. When the IAN
didate appeared the farmer would
begin to talk in a guiless way
about his admiration for a man
who wasn't afraid to work and
gave out the impression that he
had no use for the man who had
no INCLINATION for strenuous toll.
In this way he managed generally
to get a good half days work out
of each candidate and then invited
him to come back again and talk
the matter over, as he wanted to
advise with him about whom he
should support. The farmer man
also managed to let the impress
sion get out that he was ~hesitating
about what party he would sup
port and in his way he caught the
candidates on both sides. At
the end of the summer the smooth
farmer who had kept a book ac-
count, figured up that he was
ahead 40 days Of good work that
had been donated to him by the
various candidates who had visit
ed his farm seeking his support,
to say nothing Of enough cigars to
fill two boxes and 50 in nickels,
dimes aud quarters which had
been given to the children In the
way of presents. And finally,
when the farmer went to the pri-
maries and voted there wasn't g
candidate in the whole bunch who
was dead sure that he had received
the support OF this rural rooster

NEW LEAD TO
MAKE CAPITAL
DEMOCRATS THINK THEY HAVE
FOUND ONE IN IOWA. $50.
Attack the Republican State Central
Committee Chairman for Collecting
Assessments from Civil Service En-
ployees, and Under Cowherd's Lead
ership Call for Prosecutions.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 23.-Much has been
said In the Iowa press about an alleged effort
of Chairman Robert H. Spence of the republican
state central committee to collect campaign as
sessments against Iowans who are employed un-
der civil service In Washington Democratic
papers insist that Chairman Spence be prosecuted.
The intent of the United States laws has been
brought up for discussion. In the main it has
been commended by the republican press that
Chairman Spence has committed no criminal act
even if he did ask for contributions. 1t is as
serted that the laws refer to officials collecting
assessments against civilservice employees, and
that there is no crime specified against civilian
asking for money to help run a campaign.
Chairman Cowherd of the democratic congress
sional committee, started the fuss. Steve Nor
rissey of the Iowa democratic state central COM
mittee discredits the report that Cowherd will
insist upon Mr.. Spence being prosecuted.

Rev. MIR. Aliens Case.
Rev. W. 0. Allen, former presiding elder of
the Atlantic district Of the Methodist church,
who resigned last February under fire, will make
an effort before the conference now in session
at Atlantic to have his credentials returned to
him. In Short he wants the records to show
that he has honorable discharge. His wife
will present his case to the conference and this
makes the proceeding the more interesting on
account Of the fact that the minister, at the
time of his resignation. was under trial on
charges of having sustained immoral relations
with women in parishes which he visited
Rev. Mr.. Aliens friends insist that he has
for years been subject to fits of temporary in
sanity. They say and his wife sets up the
same claim, that his insanity was peculiar in
that it led him to make improper proposals to
young women. Fourteen distinct cases were to
spring, when Mr.. Allen, by withdrawing from
the conference and the church, put an end to
what promised to be sensa tional trial.
Mr. Allen does not ask to be reinstated, and
will not take any further work in the min
istry.

SIOUX. FALLS, $. D.-While in Chicago day
or two ago, Frank ]. Adams, private secretary
to Judge Garland, was informed by the western

OF the suit is to test the validity Of an oil-in-
spection law enacted by the legislature ut its
last session.
Some time ago, the Standard Oil company was
unsuccessful In its application before the United
States court in this city for injunction re-
straing the state oil inspector from rejecting a
shipment Of oil which was alleged by the state
authorities to be of inferior quality.
1t Is alleged the oil shipped into South
Dakota for the express purpose OF making test
Of the constitutionalty of the state oinspec to:,
law. The Injunction refused and the COM
pany then Instituted the suit which is now
pending.
Judge Garland recently appointed special ex-
aminerS to take testimony in the case. Mr..
Adams will take testimony in the case in 1lli-
nois and South Dakota j.. Alton Brooks was
appointed special examiner to take testimony
In the state OF New York, and H. Daughery in
Ohio. Testimony will thus be taken In foul
states, but most of it will be in Illinois and
South Dakota. -sEeu @
All the testimony must be submitted to Judge
Garland by Nov. next. The suit will be
one of the most important ever tried in South
Dakota
