ARMOUR'S CALAMITY.

The Drovers Journal Stockman is
papers failed to give much prominence
to the act Of J. Ogden Armour, whose
gallant rescue of a little girl from I'M
der the wheels of streetcar received
but a line or two of mention. Had he
been a policeman or fireman, the Jour-
nal Stockman contends, the act would
have been blazoned forth to the world,
AS it was Mr.. Armour, being a man
of great wealth, of the much despised
'capitalistic class, whose principal occu-
patton in common acceptance is getting
the money away from the other fellow,
received little credit The inference
would be that the newspapers went
upon the principle that trust" mag
nate can do nothing brave or gallant.
Observers of the incident say that
Mr.. Armour Went after the little girl
like Minnesota football player after
the ball, and that he whisked her out
from under the car with utter disre-
gard for his own neck. There is real
ly nothing surprising in this. If Mr..
Armour has in him the qualities that
in humber station would have made
of him good policeman, fireman, foot
ball player Or soldier, he need not nee
essarily have lost them because he is
carrying the burden of some millions of
money upon his rather young sholders.
The trouble is that Chicago is a poor
town for recognition of true sport and
does not know the real thing when it
sees it.
In Minneapolis, says the Jour-

Great Politician Dies Poor.

The late Premier Seldom of New
Zealand died so poor that the parlia-
ment or friends of the statesman's
family will probably have to make
special provision for the support of the
widow. Mr.. Seddon's life insurance
was no more than $1,000, his means not
permitting him to keep paid up the
premiums on the much larger policy
that he formerly carried.

STENSLAND'S LIGHT SENTENCE

SIEN SLANDS LlGf1I SEN ENCE
The depositors of the Stensland bank
are beginning to wonder whether there
was not a method in the haste with
which the late president Of their bank
was railroaded to Joliet. Stensland
pleaded guilty to two indictments
picked apparently so as to make it as
light for him as possible and was given
concurrent sentences on these which
will all expire in ten years, says
the Minneapolis Journal. Counting
out the time he will gain for good
conduct, Stensland may be on the
streets of Chicago a free man in seven
years. Moreover, under the law he is
eligible to parole in eleven months.
There are mutterings of discomfort
over the softening of the fall of Stems
land and the prosecuting attorney has
been subjected to some searching ques-
tions regarding it, to all of which he
has responded that he cannot answer
any questions bearing upon the evil
dence which is to follow. From all of
this it would appear that the Stensanld
family has practically been white
washed in order that heavier ven
geance may be visited on somebody
else. This man, it is supposed, is
Cashier Herring. who is now accused Of
having forged the notes upon which he
and Stensland realized.
But the depositors are not satisfied
with this process of administering the
law They looked to Stensland, not
Herring. They put their money in
Stensland's not Herings bank. They
placed their faith in the head of the
concern, not in the subordinate Of
ficials 1t was Stensland who robbed
terested in the heavy punishment of
Herring on condition that Stensland
gets off light and his son gets off
altogether. 1t looks to them like an
other case of the law weakening be-
fore the big criminal while it brushes
the puny disturber of good order with
it's gigantic fist.

TWISTING UP" PROVES FATAL
Little Des Moines Girl StrangIes to
Death in Ropes Of Her
Swing.

DES MONIES, Oct. 2.-Sitting bolt
upright in a garden swing, the strands
of the rope twisted about her neck,
and staring straight ahead through
sightless eyes, the rigid body Of =
year-old Florence Mulvancy Of East
Fourteenth street and Railroad aven-
ue, was found by her grandmother
shortly after 4 p. m. yesterday The
little girl mad strangled to death.
Mrs. Mulvaney was up town and
little Florence, on coming home from
school, went over to her grandmoth-
er's to look for her mother and, learn
ing tha- she was away for a time,
vent to sit in the swing. She began
twisting up" a pastime common TO
children, which consists of turning
about until the ropes of the swing are
tightly twisted together, then spinning
round and round until they are loose
again.
In some manner the little girl got
her neck between the ropes and stran-
gled to death.
The grandmother, looking out of the
window, noticed that the child was
sitting perfectly motionless in the
swing, and, going to her, found she
was dead. DR.. Armstrong was called
but the case was beyond help. The
little girl is a daughter of F. A. Null
vaney, an employee of the packing
house.

accepted as quite BETTING the

formed a greater feat. The heavy car

from under the wheels and now she
is growing nicely and will be quite a
child by next summer.

Prohibition Was Pivot,
Chicago Record-Herald

1t is abundantly clear, however, that
national issues were not even promi-
nent, to say nothing of paramount
Cyl in the Maine election. Prohibition
was the great question. The demo-
Gratis advocated resubmission, while
the republicans pledged themselves to
retention and rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory law and of the act passed
by the legislature comforting special
power on the executives with a view
to such enforcement.

PRIDE OF THE FAIR.

No resident of Walla Walla city, or
county, may go to the fair grounds
this week to view the splendid ex-
hibits without a feeling of pride in
the loyalty and enterprise of the mer-
chants and business men of Walla
Walla. In no other manner could the
lively commercial spirit of the city
be so fully demonstrated, or its re-
sources so strongly displayed as in
the costly. artistic and solid exhibits
Of local concerns.
A trip around the merchants pav1l-
ion reveals a market display of wares
and products rivaling in point of ex-
cellence and elegance the famed ba-
zaars of the Orient. Side by side with
Oriental productions and expensive
European importations, are the pro-
ducts of Walla Walla. And these lat
ter compare most favorably.
To single out any one exhibit would
not only be impossible from the stand
point of impartiality, but difficult be-
cause of the amazing profusion of
good things, each one seeming bet
ter than it's predecessor.
Especial mention must be made of
the women's department where art
and daintiness abound, surrounded by
tasteful elegance. That the entire col
lections of the upper floors are strict
ly of local origin adds to the charm
of INSPECTION.
Walla Walla has every reason to be
proud of the display made by her
home folks.
