MJc.I speculation was made or what would be the result IF Hears was elected Governor of New York The agony is over now. and Hearst political sun has gone down. Had Hearst not have shown himself SC consumately selfish and that nearly every act of his was tp advance the personal interests of Hearst he would lave fared much better. Hearst is a great man, it matters not what may be said Of him to the contrary. but his "I klllel il e belr" and great am policy has been disgusting to the
 eople. If he is in earnest and honest about wanting to help the cause Of the great common people he should con ouer his selfish desires to be a great office holder. He has not only broken his political pitcher but has greatly impaired his ability to help the people, through his great newspapers. because of this constant cropping o1t of his selfishness.

NEWSY LETTER FROM
 CHICAGO.
An Ex-Brinkley Lady Writes
 Another one of those Interesting Letters.
43lo Berkeley Ave. Chicago, Ill, Oct. 30, 1906.

Chicago, III, Oct. 30, 1906. Just little of what l see and hear. 43rd street has, for two months, been torn up and dug up amazingly.
 During heavy rains the basements along the line were flooded owing to the sewer pipes not being large enough to carry the flow of water from the immense apartment houses on this particular street Larger pipes were put in and lowered several feet below the place of the old ones. On very windy day, not long since, paused second before crossing this deep ditch, for a lull in the wind. then flew as it was over, when heard childish voice say. Law Ruth you needn [ mind that 1 tell my Pa every day to shut up" Scarcely were the words out of Ter mouth than heard rous- ing slap and saw the speaker, girl Of eight or ten years. laid out on bank of sand accompanied by the declara- ton, .you can s say that tit aat te tee yyeHr paw you want to but you shan't talk to me 1 that way She ran so quickly passed me that vas almost knocked into the abyss below The little pugilist went up the street and around the corner and ort of sight 50 quickly that we all stood with open mouth amazement.
