Leaving the home of his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Maria Asplund, 113 South
Madison avenue, at O'Clock this
morning, saying that he was
going to Denver, Carl Asplund, the
Burlington bridgenaan, has added one
more mysterious aspect to his COM
plex life of the past three weeks. The
employees Of the Burlington depot saw
nothing of him this morning when
Burlington No. 8 arrived and departed.
and 1t is not believed that he boarded
the train Where he Is; is he safe from
harm; does he command the powers OF
his senses and numerous other anxious
thoughts are crowding the brain af
his sister-in-law and nieces, who yes
terday basked in his display OF men
tai acumen when visited by Chief IF
Police Peter Gallagher. Apparently
normal, the unfortunate man, endeav-
ored to explain his whereabouts since
first leaving home Sunday, November
Is, to the head Of the police depart
ment, but failed miserably. However.
he displayed good control Of his rea-
son at times, and even showed his de,
sire to entertain his visitor, who is q
personal friend. Some views of west.
ern scenery were shown Chief Gala.
CHER, and Mr.. Asplung asked one OF
his nieces to play some piano numbers
He spoke Of his recent absence, but
did not throw any light upon where he
had been. He vouched no information
as to when he expected to return to
work. Chief Gallagher Is puzzled and
at loss to know whether Asplund is
sane or otherwise.
The departure of Asplund from home
at the early hour this morning is nc
nearer solution than his previous go
ing away and while all concerned dc
not think that he has left for Denver
they are. at loss to know of his
whereabouts.

2 PARTIES ONLY
IN NEXT PRIMARY
SOCIALISTS AND PROHIBITION
isTs CUT OUT BECAUSE
VOTE FELL SHORT.

Des Moines, Nov. 27.-Only two par
ties, the Republican and the Demo
cratic, will participate in the next
primary election In Iowa, in June 1910.
At least that Is the indication from
the vote cast at the general election
for president and the state officers.
Under the primary law political
party entitled to participate in the
primary election Of candidates for
Office Is defined to be an organization
which cast for It's candidate for gov
ernor 2 per cent or more Of the total
vote cast in the last preceding gen.
eral election.
The Prohibitionists and Socialists
appear to have cast less than 2 per
cent of the total vote cast in Iowa on
Nov. 8.
Govern Canvass to Como.
The legislature in January can
vases the vote for governor and
lieutenant governor, and the exact
vote cast for those officers by the two
minor parties is not known yet.
The total vote in Iowa for president
was 494, 760.
The Prohibitionists cast 9,S37 for
president, or 5s less than per cent
They cast 8,6S4 for secretary OF
state. or 1911 less than 2 per cent.
The Socialists cast S,2S7 for presi
dent, or 1908 less than 2 per cent.
They cast 1919 for secretary OF
state. or 2,676 less than per cent.
1t is supposed that neither party
cast for governor-and that is the
vote described by the primary law
many more votes than were cast for
the remainder of the state ticket
The parties ran along about the same
on the state ticket, the candidates for
president Of each securing more votes
than any other candidate on the
tickets.
viii Save Expense.
If it turns out the the minor par
ties are excluded from participation
in the primary Of June, 1910. it will
save considerable expense. The ad
dition Of the candidates Of these tWc
parties simply doubled some Of the
| bills.
Some of the members OF the minol
parties are inclined to believe that E
I llUGIdl COiloll uCliSi VI eic 'o" Wal
permit the parties to go into the pri
mary. The language Of the law is
s'The title. political party shall NEAR
a party which. at the last preceding
general election, cast for its candi
date for governor at least 2 pc
cen,um Of the total vote cast at sait
election
This, some say, means that the
per cent shall be computed on the to
tai vote for governor and not the tota
vote for president.
If this contention were sustained
the minor parties would get into th,
primary, possibly, although this rul
applied to the Office of secretary o
| state would not DO so. The Prohibi
tionists would fall GOA short and th'
socialists 2.069.

A routine news item recently record
ed the appointment of Thomas E. Nc
Donnell to succeed the late Alonzo wy
CANT as general superintendent of the
fifth division of the United States EX-
press company That is, Mr.. Melon
nell has charge of the cOmpany's large
business in and about Chicago and on
all the lines Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul Railway. The fact is also
noted that the man who has reached
this important and responsible post at
the age of 80 entered the same service
twenty years ago as a wagon boy who
was paid few dollars a week to carry
parcels in and out of houses and stores
and run other little errands. He has
been promoted gradually to his present
place simply because he did his work
faithfully and well in every position.
The case of Mr.. Mcdonnell is cited sim
ply as an illustration of the folly of
the assumption, somewhat general of
late in 'sociological'' treatises, that the
conditions of American life have some
how so changed that the boy who must
begin life at the bottom of the ladder
has not the chance he once had of
material success. There never was a
sillier assumption than this or one so
contrary to the visible facts There is
not business house of any size in any
of our cities where there are not men
in the highest and most responsible po-
sitions, or plainly progressing toward
them, who began at the very bottom and
have risen by their industry and fideli-
ty to economic independence and con-
spicuous success. The "chance" of the
poor boy is so large and numerous and
frequent that he does not need to look
for it as chance" at all. In every
line of endeavor the ''chance" is look
ing for him. There is not head of
business house in this or any other COM
munity who is not compelled to spend
a large share of his time in looking for
assistants, and whose days are not q
constant effort to find Or make helpers
who can be relied on to do their work
with Intelligence and fidelity. If this
were not so the conduct OF any DuSl-
ness would be mere pastime, hap
py dream, instead of the hard and con-
tinuous work that it is. Industry, fru-
gality, fidelity, zeal to understand what
is to be done, readiness to do it, pa
thence to wait the call to the larger
task, cultivation Of knowledge how to
deal rightly with emergencies, and cour-
age in dealing with them when they
arise-these are the qualities that give
the poor boy his Chance to-day as in
the past-these are the qualities that
win material success. And because the
tasks are larger and the wealth to be
won or lost in them greater than ever
before, the poor boys chance was never
bigger than it is to-day. All he has to
do is to be worthy of it and take it
when it comes.

This is made with stones on which
there are Hebrew letters, which aroused
our curiosity. Investigation showed
that the stones at one time marked
graves in the Jewish cemetery and had
been taken thence when there was a

to pave the cathedral. They have re-
manned there ever since. and some of
the inscriptions are still in fair state
