Penny Arcade Talk.
Now we hear in the graphophones
in penny arcades speech of this can
didate, including in sonorous tones,
Why should the poor workman be de-
MED the sacred right of trial by jury
for his alleged crime" A white man
gets sickish feeling when he sees
such deliberate attempt to suck
sympathy by the most Internal deceit
What brought UP the subject was a
demand by the Labor Trust leaders
that their lawbreakers, sluggers and
dynamiters, when they disobey the
orders of the court and do these acts,
be tried for contempt of that court by
jury instead of being sentenced by
the court itself for contempt of its or
ders.
In that plan the Trust leaders hope
to make it easy for their workers to
do these acts and escape by packed
or frightened jury.
But mark You the clean-cut distinc-
ton and here we lift the stone and put
sunlight on the hidden, bleached squir-
mers and show how they try to misin-
form the public to gain sympathy and
play upon the emotions of the unin-
formed.

The finest balloon ascension and
parachute leap of the week, and one
of the best ones ever made in Keokuk,
was the one last evening, which was
made by a green hand in the balloon
business, the performer never having

hypocrisy in the maudlin appeal of
Bryan and other wilful pervertors of

workingman be denied the sacred right
of trial by jury for his alleged crime"

day night, ended in police court to-
day. where the woman admitted sew

horsewhipping him before he got mp
yesterday morning.

ing beer with another man" declared
the whipped husband 81 threw them
both out and went to bed. When
woke up II was to feel the rawhide. "
Newland was particularly humili-
ated because his wife. after sewing
him securely in the sheet, invited sew
eral neighbors to witness the thrash
ing she was about to give him. SO
enraged did he become that after ex-
Treating himself he proceeded to pun

the fray and the police came.
Mrs Newland denies she did any
thing improper and declared her hus
band abused her until she could stand
1T no longer. Newland was fined and
