AN iowAN's QUEER SIGNATURE.

st. Louis e-Democrat.-A man
from Davenport, Iowa, excited much
curiosity at the Southern hotel Friday
night and was the innocent cause of
heated arguments and offers to place
money. 1t was all because Of his sig
nature, which consisted of nine
STRAIGHT lines and curve. The lines
were heavily drawn and stood out
boldly from the register.
So many persons called Clerk Ryan
from his books to inquire what the
lines meant that Ryan decided to find
out for peace sake. He sought out the
man, and after a neat apology asked
for translation Of the marks. The
gentleman looked surprised. That's
simple" he said. ITO me 1t Is as plain
as A. B. c. 1t means j. Walsh"
The signature Is said to be well and
favorably known in Davenport, where
Mr.. Walsh is prominent business
man. He is here with his brother
who signs his name readily George
Walsh.

the Oldest members of the senate, in
point of service, and until the voice
of scandal linked his name with the
western land gratis he enjoyed as
good health as the average man of his
age. But his arrest caused physical
break down. He nearly collapsed
during his trial, and apparently he did
not care to live longer after the land
frauds were discovered and his name
became connected with them.
Senator Mitchell maintained always
that he was innocent of the awful
charges that were lodged against him.
In an address he made before the SEN
ate on the eve of his return to Port
land for trial he declared, with all the
strength of sincerity, that he was
entirely innocent. Tears ran down his
cheeks while he pleaded with his fell
low senators to believe in him, and
tears stood in the eyes of many of his
hearers who had known him for years
as an able legislator and apparently a
man Of undoubted honesty and pro-
bity. But the courts found him guilty,
and the evidence was so strong
against him thai there is little room
for doubt as to his guilt. His physical
decline was fast and his death, which
occurred yesterday, while sad In the
extreme. is almost the direct result of
his disgrace.

WHITE STILL HOPES,

The news that reached America
yesterday to the effect that Count
White had rendered to the car his
resignation as Russian premier. was
received with regret by citizens of
the United States who have learned to
admire White for his splendid work at
the Portsmouth peace conference and
his fairness and patriotism in dealing
with the Japanese. But today news
comes that he has not asked to be re.
lieved but is still working and hoping
to be able to control the turbulent ma.
ton.
The liberals are massed against
Witte, who, if the view of people in
this part of the world is not too dis.
torted, is the best friend they have,
The Russians, however. are not con.
tent to wait for gradual change in
the form of government. Having tast-
ed liberty they desire to have it for
their own always, and do not want to
be given any halfway measures.
Count Witte is the strongest man
Russia has produced, as far as the
world knows, in several generations
If anyone can solve the knotty prob.
lens that exist in Russia he can do it
but he must have the support of the
bulk of the people

IMPROVEMENTS FOR oTTuMwA

Ottumwa, with her new factories,
her new buildings, and now her new
street car concern, Is going ahead fast
this year The sale of the property
of the Ottumwa Traction & Light Co.,
according to men who are close to the
matter, means that the service and
the lines Of the company will be. i'm
proved and enlarged to such. an ex-
tent that Ottumwa will soon have a
street railway system and street
lighting system that cannot be sur
passed by those Of any city of similar
size in the country.
Let the good work go on. Ottum-
wa is growing, in population, in bust.
ness, in financial strength and in pro-
gressiveness. Let the good work go
on, and give it push when you can.

CANNON AND HEPBURN.

Just as all the world loves a lover,
so does all the world love fighter. 1t
is probable that the fighter has the
better hold upon the general affections
in fact, in this day of materialism and
declining sentimentality. 1t is true that
because Colonel W. P. Hepburn is
such good fighter on the floor of con-
gress that he is SO much favorite in
Washington. Never does he enter
upon a debate but his opponents may
expect to receive some most pointed
thrusts. But his enemies are few. 1t
is not generally known that he and
the present speaker, Uncle Joe" Can
non, were at outs for long time, and
one would not believe it after seeing
the admirable manner in which they
transact business OF a legislative nat
ure now However. the whole story is
told in iotter to the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat from it's Washington cor
respondent, which says:
over in the house of representa-
tives the new men of the Cannon re-
gime will come forward more strong
ly than ever. They will divide hon
ors with the older leaders who, be-
cause of their long tenure of high
places are sometimes disrespectfully
called the 'dowagers of the house.
Most prominent of all these new
men whom Speaker Cannon brings for
ward will be Colonel Pete Hepburn of
iowa. He has had an interesting
career. For two or three years he did
not speak to Mr.. Cannon and it is
perhaps true that there is still no love
lost between them. In spite of this
each respects the ability and the posi-
ton of the other. There is not another
such fighter in either house Of the con-
gress as Col. Pete. He has command
Of irony and sarcasm and can use it
so bitterly and effectively joined with
ridicule that many a brave floor fight
er quails before him. Mr.. Cannon de-
liberated when he became speaker of
the house For months he and Colonel
Hepburn had not been friends. He
made up his mind that 1t was better
to have such man with him than
against him, and SO he consented to a
reconciliation, which was eagerly

SAY TEACHER CAUSED DEATH.

Des Moines, Dec. 9. Dave Car
ruthers, aged IA years. the son of Bob
Carruthers, ex-champion baseball
pitcher and now an umpire, died Thurs
day evening at the home of his parents,
703 Seventh street, from heart failure
alleged to have been superinduced by
corporal punishment administered to
the lad at the public school.
Some time ago the boy was sub
jected to severe shaking by his
teacher, it is said. Immediately aft
erward he was taken sick and put to
bed, finally passing away at $3.50
o'clock Thursday evening.
Little Dave Carruthers was born in
Brooklyn, when his father was at the
zenith of his career as major leag-
uer. The boy has been mascot to the
teams his father has played on and a
general favorite Of players and fans in

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.

e..
The Technical World.-The automo-
bile seems to have been born in the
form Of an idea, in the year 1859,
when Glasgow student threw out
the suggestion that the steam engine
then q verv crude low-pressure at
fair-might be applied to the moving
of wheeled vehicles. This student
afterward achieved fame as DR.. Rob-
inson, professor Of natural philosophy
in the University of Edinburgh. Ten
years later, Nicholas Joseph Cugnot. a
French engineer, built the first auto
mobile. The machine was a three
wheeled affair and its course wa
quickly run, for on its second or third
trip, 1t turned corner too fast and
toppled over with crash. The city
officials of Paris refused to permit
Cugnot to repair his machine. To
keep it from harming anyone, they
locked 1t up in a church, and there
1t stayed for some years.
