The Way it Read.

The editor of little western
paper was in the habit of cheer
ing up his subscribers daily with
a column of short pertinent
comments on their town, their
habits and themselves. The
department, on account of it's
intimate personal flavor, was
the most popular thing in the
paper.
The editor,'as be saw it grow
ing in favor, gradually allowed
himself wider and wider lati-
tude in his remarks, until the
town passed :much OF it's time
coujecturing what he'd das't
to say next
On hot day, when the si-
moon whistled gaily up the
streets of the town, depositing
everywhere its burden Of sand,
the editor brought 10Th this
gem of thought:
Gail the windows along Main
street need washing badly"
The next morning be was
waited on by platoon of in-
dignant citizens who confronted
him with the paragraph in
question fresh from the hands
of the compositor and informed
HIM fiercely that he had gone
too far. After a hasty and hor.
rified glance he admitted he
had.

II don't understand why Roz-

points to this solution of the

reason determined that Hayes

to Gov. Folk and Colonel Mel.

that outlined by the Globe. Dem.

would not drop the Colonel.

reason that Nelson had not

other hand, it may be true that

Civic Righteous.

Mr. Folk as district attorney
of St. Louis never stopped a
horse race nor closed a saloon,
but when he appeared in the
political armament as a great
champion OF civic righteousness
in crusade against these evils
the question was naturally ask
ed, why was it when he had
more power than he has today
he did not exercise it against
these institutionst Was it be.
cause he wanted their support
in his campaign for GovernorH
Another thing the public can,
not understand in Mr.. Folk is
his close relation with Tony
Stuver, the st. Louis brewer,
but the public will have TO quit
trying to excuse Mr.. Folk. In
deuouncing the pulpit, the press
the civic organizations and the
public generally, Mr. Folk has
stood out in the limehght in his
real parsonage and not as he
has attempted to make people
believe he is.-Kansas CITY

Postal operators is the direct result
of the strike of the Western Union

the strike. Fearing that this would
cripple the chance of their Western

the weight of their influence to the
movement and attempt to force the
two companies into a position where
they would grant the demands which

Special Il Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Aug. 10.-W. j. Gallo
way, reputed to be a wealthy resident
of Davenport, Iowa, made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to commit suicide early
this morning at a hotel here, where
he has been stopping for the past six
weeks.
Galloway became violently in love
with Miss Anna Barsball of Omaha,
who has been acting as GalloWay's
stenographer for several weeks, going
to the hotel where Galloway lived to
take dictation Galloway several times
within the past week begged the girl
to become his wife, which she de-
clined, there being difference of about
forty years in their ages. Yesterday
Galloway took Miss Barsban to the
court house, where he made his will
and decided much valuable property to
Miss Barsball. This includes a halt
interest in his business, farm near
Davenport, and a house and lot in
Davenport. Galloway received a tel
egram from some one in Davenport
which greatly excited the man and he

manded payment of the money that
she claimed was due for the care and
board of the child. The landlady re-
fused to give the little one up, saving
she would keep it until the mother
paid what she owed. High words
ensued and it is said that some blows
were struck. At all events. Mrs,
Stefansky was obliged to make hasty
retreat, leaving her baby in the other
womans possession.
The climax of the drama was en-
acted, when the two women appeared
before Judge Finehout, Mrs. Stefansky
charging Mrs. Beck with assault. Mrs.
Beck admitted that she held the child
in order to compel the mother TO pay
what she owed. Mrs. Beck, as she
appeared in court, held the baby In
her arms.
"If that is not your child, you have
no right to keep it. Return 1t to the
mother" the judge sternly commanded.
Mrs Beck. in compliance with this
mandate. held the child out 10 Mrs.
Stefansky, who attempted to take 1t.
But the baby screamed and clung to
Mrs Beck whom it had grown to know
better than its own mother. After
much coaxing, the child was at length
content to stay with its mother. who
took 1T from the court room.
Mrs Beck was obliged to sign a
pledge, to keep the peace.

APPLICATION FOR APPEAL.
Standard Oil Attorneys Appear Before
Judge With Writ of Error.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-The attorneys for
the Standard Oil Company yesterday
filed the company's assignment Of err
rors in the United States district court.
They then went before Judge Grosscup
in the United States circuit court Of
appeals, and made application for an
appeal, a writ Of error and super
cedas.
The Standard Oil attorneys contend
ed that the supercedas should be
granted upon bond not larger than
sufficient to cover the costs. 1t was
claimed by the government, however,
that the bond should be fixed at $29,-
240,0OO, the amount of the fine imposed
by Judge Lands, in order to secure the
government pending q stay Of execu-
tion in the judgment.
The assignment of error contained
116 citations in which Judge Lands
is said to have erred in his decisions
during the trial. The write of super
cedas sought, was not granted, but
Judge Grosscup allowed the writ of
error. Action was delayed on the writ
of supersedas pending the determina-
ton of the amount of the bond the
company is required to file. The at
torneys for the company were directed
to inform the court of the financial re-
sponsibility of the company.
