A Wart superstition.

Boys in the west Of England believe
that by squeezing a mole to death be-
tween the hands and touching the af
fected parts with the blood that oozes
from the mouth of the dying animal
warts viii disappear and will not reap
pear. The culprits are convinced that
moles, worms and other subterranean
dwellers have no feelings, and there
fore it is not cruelty to put them to
death in this way.

Scarcity Of EnaIlsh Humor.

1t is to be feared that if the papers
reserved a special corner once each
week for the witticism of the week it
would be often left blank. There is no
wit to speak of today, only a feeble i'm
itation of it which people are fond of
calling the saving sense Of humor.-

RACE TRACK INTERESTS
 GIVEN A HEARING

ling of the bills in the committees.
 That great many of the anti-gam- |bling bills have had their inception with those who hope to kill the Hughes bills to stop race track gam bling, is not doubted by anyone and it is openly stated that some other measures have been introduced sim ply to becloud the situation.
 Instead of acting on the defensive the Jockey Club, it is said, has as- stunned the part of the aggressor, and the bills of Assemblyman Yale, which stop all games of chance, are said to have originated with the horsemen. The supporters of the Percy Gray law hope, by attacking poker playing and all games of chance, as we'll as the stock market practices, that they will arouse from the interests affected strenuous opposition, which, if pool ed, will kill all anti-gambling legis- latiOn this year.

Albany, IN. Y., Feb. 19.-Another legislative hearing on the various bills for the suppression of race track and other forms of gambling will be held today and has attracted to Albany many of the representatives of the interests affected.
 At present, the legislature is divid- ed on what forms of gambling should be stopped, one element wanting race track gambling abolished, an- other opposing stock gambling, while In favor of the other and, so on, with the result that each particular Oill has it's supporters and oppon- ents.
 At today's hearing the Hughes men expect to bring about some order. Any attempt on the part of their op- ponents to use tilibustering tactics
 will be fought strenuously. That every legislator will be put on record is certain. In the event of either the Senate or Assembly committee on codes failing to report the bills, af- ter 8 reasonable time, motions in both houses to discharge the commit tee from further consideration of the bills will follow Tn this way. the supporters of the Hart4Agnew bills expect to put every member on rec ord and hope to prevent the strang-

JOHN M'cAuLAY DEAD.
Former Old Central Employe Dies in
Minneapolis.

MtnnedpottS.
"A telegram received in the city late
Tuesday afternoon brought the news
of the death of John NJ. McCaulay, a
former resident of this city, and an old
office employee of the Iowa Central. at
Minneapolis Tuesday morning at 9:4e
O'clock Mr.. McCaulay's deats was due
to pulmonary tuberculosis, with which
he had been a sufferer for years.
Altho he had been afflicted with the
disease for a long time, it did not SER
iously affect his health until about two
years ago. The disease made rapid pro-
gress last winter, and since that time
his condition has been precarious. A
little more than a year ago he went to
Arizona for time, but the change of
climate did him no good.
For about twenty years Mr.. Nc
Caulay had been in the employ of the
Iowa Central. For years, while its
general offices were in this city, he was
clerk in the auditing department.
When the offices were moved to
Minneapolis in 1902 Mr. McCaulay ac-
companied the force and he has lived
in that city since then. After the
consolidation of the accounting de-
partments of the Iowa Central and
Minneapolis & ST. Louis, Mr.. McCaulay
was made chief clerk Of the freight and
claim department.
He is survived by his wife and one
son, Ralph, who are the only living
relatives, the members of his own fam
lily being all dead.
The body will be brought to this
city Thursday evening and will be
taken to the undertaking parlors OF
A. E. Wilbur & Sons, where the fun
eral services will be held Friday after
noon at 3 o'clock, Rev. James MCGEE
