An officer of the Army was
one day referring in humorous
veign to the large body Of "pro-
lessIonal heroes" produced by our
war with Spain, when he related
the case OF Western politician
who endeavored to make capital
OF his "war" record in Cuba.
This politician, shortly after his
return to the United States after
being mustered out, became a
candidate for a minor office in the
gift OF the state OF Indiana He
m dc many fllmboyant spec, hes,
in which frequent references were
injected to the effect that he had
always sheen in the forefront of
the fight" Furthermore, he
dwelt with emphasis upon his own
bravery in two battles in Cuba
that we're fought on the same day.
Al this point some unfeeling and
skeptical person arose and asked
the speaker how such a feat could
have been possible, seeing that
tie battles referred TO had been
fought at places some 95 miles
apart.

WAR ON THE SIMS BILL

The Automobile Club of Washington
which held its weekly meeting in its
rooms at the Colonial Hotel last night
is absolutely confident OF its ability 70
defeat the Sims automobile bill. which
has passed the House anG is now pend
ing in the Senate. The club will be
granted a hearing before the Senate
Committee on the District OF Column
Dla' 10 which II has been referred.
Bill Termed Unreasonable.
The cub regards the bill as wholly
unreasonable and unjust and. despite
its i'll luck before the House commit
tee. has no fear Of eventual failure.
AT the meeting last night the belief
was enthusiastically expressed that the
Senate committee would be brought to
see the folly Of a favorable report up
on the measure
That automobiles are by 10 means

happiness or the community that the

means accidents IN which automobiles
played any part whatever-twenty per-

Viewing these statistics from any as

now deceased, made trip from Te-
cumseh to Alaska in search of a son
whom they had not seen since he was

and as they had considerable prop
erty and no other near relatives they
were particularly anxious to locate the
son. John Wilson, at that time. One
day this week gentleman passed
through this city on a Burlington
passenger train. and while the train
was waiting at this station he asked
some hystanderS concerning the Will

that the boy does not return to claim
his heritage, which amounts to con

it was staed he said that the Bible

yet Robert Ingersoll, and l wish to
emphatically deny the report" de
clared Bishop Williams. Il did say
that a certain view of the Bible is
a most prolific source of unbelief. To
say that the Bible is the most prolific
source Of unbelief / would be the rank
