Practical Politics.

A practical politician Of the first wa
ter came to light in a small Indiana
town not long ago In this town there
is an officer designated as inspector of
streets and roadways, who receives the
munifcent salary of $3.50 per year. AS
the opposing political parties are very
nearly balanced in tins town, there is
keen opposition, so that when this office
became vacant and the authorities or
dered an election to fill it. there was a
lively campaign for this small plum, no
other elections being near. The Demo
cratic candidate was a rather shrewd
old fellow by the name of Ezekiel Hicks,
and it looked as though he would be
successful as neat little sum had been
subscribed and turned over to him as a
campaign fund. To the astonishment of
everybody. however, he was defeated.
Il can't account for it. enc of the
Democratic leaders said, gloomily. with
that money we should have won. How
did you lay it out. Ezekielf'
"Hum." Ezekiel said, slowly, pulling
his whisker. Yer see, that office only
pays $3.50 year salry. an / didn't see
no sense in payin' $500 out to get the
office. so l jest bought me a little truck
farm instead. "-Harper's Weekly.

Spools Made of Sawdust.

William l.. Williams Of this CITY has
been at work on a process of making a
fiber spool for several years. At first
the attempt was made to make the spools
from pulverized newspapers, this being
the paper which, when heated, uni,ed it
into a solid mass, but later experiments
disclosed the fact that common sawdust
and leather chips and shavings produced
a much stronger spool. The ordinary
large 1900 yard spools are made in
four pieces, the heads being did and
the barrel being divided in halves length
wise.
Timber for wooden spools has become
very scarce, and it is belieTed that the
fiber spool can be made much more
cheaply than the wooden one.-William-

SUICIDE OF JAMES VAN PEY.
MA, OF KANSAS CITY.
ONCE RICH HE dies POOR
Told Friends Would Kill Himself
Leaves Note Stating He Had
Passed His Usefulness.

Kansas City, Mo-, September l.
James VanPeyma, once a man o.
affairs, capital and political powel
in Kansas City, Kas., killed himself
at his home, 2046 North Fifth street
at 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Sitting in an easy chair in the Ii
brary of his home, VanPeyma frec
a bullet through his head. The bal
entered just behind the right ear
passed through and came out just
above the left ear Death was in
staneous.
VanPeyma had threatened suicide
several times during the last year
Monday Of this week the police were
called to the office of Captain ii. IL
Sawyer, 80 Wyandotte building, to
disarm Van Peyma. When the po-
lice arrived, borrowed revolver fell
from the mans hand to the floor
and the weapon is still retained by
Captain John F. Kelly. VanPeyma
had borrowed the weapon with the
intention of ending his life. He had
complained to his friend, Captain
Sawyer, that he had not the money
TO purchase new weapon.
No. person witnesse the suicide.
Mrs. Isabella VanPeyma and children
were at home, but the man, broken
in finance, spirit and health, chose a
time when he might die alone. Last
Wednesday night Captain Sawyer
had found note from VanPeyma
on his office floor reading: Captain
Sawyer will have general charge of
my funeral. Notify him at at once "
Captain Sawyer did not take the
note seriously, and, tearing it in two,
threw il on his reading table. Yes
terday he was in excellent spirits
when a reporter told him VanPeyma
was dead, Then the captain remem-
bered the note and searched il out
from papers on his table.
Sawyer and VanPeyma were old,
old cronies. "Well, might as well
laugh as cry" the captain said, after
recovering from the shock, "for it IS
the greatest blessing God could have
sent the VanPeyma family. It's the
same story of a broken fortune, then
strong drink then death by
ones own hand"
More interesting than bereaved
family could possibly relate is the
story Captain Sawyer told. For
weeks he had refused to touch liquor
when his friend Van Peyma was
around. Wednesday VanPeyma
shook hands with his friend and said :
"Goodbye, captain, this is the last
time You will see me alive. "
"That so2" bantered the captain.
"Goin' to kill yomself' Well good
bye. VAN Success to you'll
Late that night for VanPeyma
