Watching His Fences.
That Senator Elkins will not be

election to the Senate, but that he-will
take no cbarces whatever In making
his calling and election sure, is per
fectly apparent to those whohaye been
watching the game from this end Of
the line. Tho frequent conferences
he has been having here with secre.
tary Of State swisher and with other
leaders tell III no uncertain language
how closely he is watching every
move on the political chess board, and
how careful he is lest he be taken un.

Constable Holds Menz' Devil

Herran Menz' statue ot the devil at Denver is being guarded by consta- ble. The image was set up two months ago by Menz, who is not be- liever in the deity, and wrought this statue to symbolize his feeling as to the future. A constable with writ of replevin called at the home of the old German stonecutter and levied on the idol. The owner resisted the de- mand of the officer, and he and his family tried to save the statue from capture, even going so far as to bring a sledge hammer to smash it to bits. The constable and his assistants were successful in removing the statue, and thus made return on the writ that was sworn out by Warren West, of Ypsi- lanti, on a claim of S5l.4O for labor, part of which was performed on "Beelzebub."
