ARREST MfNDICANI
 Is A DOPE HEAD
A Strange Character in Begsar's Garb
 Enters Town.

Officer Troutman yesterday morn ing took into tow at the EsDee depot. the most mysterious mendicant which the police have had to deal with for some time. He says that his name is James Risdan and that he has d sis ter living at Prescott whose name is Jane Wilson. He says she has lived there for year or more. and that he was trying to make his way there Passengers on the morning train saw him just before the train pulled into town. change his garb and prepare what they allege to be a makeup, the finest that beggar ever donned Ris- den had better clothes it is said. but he preferred the worst as the best for his purpose.
 When he alighted from the train. he wore a ragged gray cap, tattered trousers and a frazzled old brown overcoat thrown around him and fastened with toothpicks in lieu of buttons and hobbled along on one crutch. That is. until the officer saw him, and then he accelerated his pace and abandoned the crutch as he dodg ed around the engine to make his get away. He was nabbed and brought up to iail but now that the police have him, they don't know what to do with him. That Risdan has q fine histrion- ic talent there can be no doubt and his makeup would do credit to the most miserable mendicant in the profesh that haunts the streets of New York. and holds out pleading hands to the passer-by. Placed on the stage and acting naturally he would soon prove a star in the cast. For that he is feigning his many ails. is the belief of tEe police.
 Risdan was sent over from Tucson. He doesn't want to go to the county hospital for he says they will not give him any morphine and he-uses 10 grains of that at q shot. He only wants to be allowed to proceed peace ably on his way, for he hasn't done to nobodN and anything he has done he has done to himself" so he says. Risdan is d character. ap- parently not a bad one, and though the most decrepit specimen of human ity that has hit the town, he eXcites little or no sympathy and will prob ably be sent out of town.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will he destroyed for ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness Ccaused by ca tarrhD that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

BIG BUCKET SHOPS
 AGAINST FUTURES"
They Are Moved by Spite Against the Legitimate Exchanges.

Chicago. March 29.-The plan of the State of Illinois for construction the deep waterway from Leckport to the
 Mississippi river is already beaten, unless the Chicago Sanitary trustees arc mistaken. Already President R. R. McCormick of the Sanitary board is making preparations to renew his fight To secure from the legislature the waterpower rights below Joliet. This is upon the assumption that the con stitutional amendment-"th little ballot will be beaten at the Novem- Der election. notwithstanding the ef forts in it's behalf by the leaders of the deep waterway movement. IL has been the great ambition of President Mccormick to carry Chicago's drain age canal through the city of Joliet, against that city's protest, behind re- taining walls and to develop the wat erpower for sake of revenue. On this point the state and drainage trustees cOllided. The state needed waterpower revenue to pay for the great water way. The proposal to extend the aut- Urity of the Chicago Sanitary district so far into the state met with oppOsi ton. At the next session of the legis- latuTe. however. the Sanitary trustees will follow the expected failure of the waterway plan by asking for these rights. Already efforts 10 this end have been made through the medium of letters to legislators and business men.

At the Chicago headquarters Of the scattered independent telephone in terests of the United States, the un- expected candor of President F. N. Vail of the American Telephone & Telegraph company. in his annual re- port. was received with wry faces. The exaggerated stories of the for tunes made by original telephone in- vestOrs," he said, together with mis- leading statements of probable profits, made it possible to launch many of these companies pledged to low rates for exchange service and high diVi- dends to investors. At these low rates with maintenance" and ''reconstruc- ton expenses either Intentionally or ignorantly disregarded, these compan- ies for a time had an appearance of prosperity The result has been un- fortunate in nearly every case. The promises and pledges as to rates and profits. made as an excuse for their coming, as a basis for their franchise. and as an incentive to attract capital, are now admitted to be impossible. ReOrganizations are now in progress. It would seem. as a whole. that the gain of the public through competition based on low rates has not compensated for the loss of capital invested in these enterprises" In the recent renewal of a franchise to the local Bell company the independents" failed. during a protracted investiga- ton, to prove their claims

The retail district Tor shoppers only is the cry which has come from some of the women of Chicago. At d recent meeting of the Hull House Wo- mans club. one of the members recom- mended that the organization declare itself in favor of the adoption of a rule which would rid State street of teams and street cars between the hours of 10 a. m. and p. m. Under present conditions" she said, State street is so congested that many women are afraid to venture there The gerat business thoroughfare simply has be- come a danger spot. Women and chil- dren especially fall victims to its many dangers. What with the din of street car bells. the chatter of horses 'hoOfs and the road of the heavy wheeled trucks, it is small wonder if people be- come hopelessly confused in their eff forts to cross from side to side despite the efforts of the police to fulfill their duties. In the last few years the mo- tor cars have added new element to the many dangers of the street and shortly. as things are going now. State street will be nothing but memory to those who value life and limb. State street is essentially a shopping and not teaming street. and it should not be permitted to become so danger ous that women cannot do their shop ping there" Point is given to this attitude on the part of the women by a protest which was made by real estate dealer against the custom of women shoppers of remaining in the loop district after m thus adding to the congestion on the street cars when the home going rush from busi- ness begins.

There is increasing evidence here that big 'bucketshop" interests are lending encourageinent to various bills in congress to prohibit the purchase and sale Of grain. cotton and provi- sicns for future delivery-"futu It is a means of retaliating upon the legitimate exchanges where the actual farm products are dealt in, for the prominent grain exchanges have re- lcntlessly- made war upon bucket shops and driven them out of busi- ness in many places. The Chicago board of trade. for instance, has spent thousands of dollars in recent years to this end and has been the means of clearing Chicago of bucketshops doing this because of .he discredit thrown upon legitimate business by the places where bets are made on fluctuations of the prices of commodities. although not kernel or pound Of the actual commodity changes hands by the transaction.

Bucketshop in- terests have grown rich and their sup port of "anti-future" measures. in the Euise of reform" is likely to prove formidable, for it is not to be expected that the best interests of the producers and business generally will deter them. IL is largely due to the "buckctshops' that the grain markets in the United States have been subject of preju- dice almost in proportion to the per lection with which they economize time transportation. and effort in equalizing prices.

Many new and valuable facts regard
 ing the life of President Lincoln have
 come to light as a result of the heated
 controversy which is now waging be-
 tween the friends and foes of prohi-
 bition in this city. over the rather un-
 essential question of whether or not he
 was a drinking man. A host of unex-
 pected antiquarians and historians
 have taken the field on either side and
 the net result of their recriminatiOns.
 while doing little to solve the problem
 of prohibition or license. has been a
 truly noteworthy contribution to the
 biography of the martyr president.
 Sayings and speeches have been res
 cued from oblivion and one or two new
 photographs have come to light. Re
 garding the actual point at issue, cu-
 riously little serious testimony has
 been offered. with the exception of one characteristic quotation. in which Lin
 coin showed his fearlessness in stand
 ing up for his convictions regardless of the opposition in some quarters
 which. then as now. must have been aroused by such plain speaking. He is reported to have said: Prohibition
 will work great injury to the cause of
 temperance. It is a species of intem-
 perance within itself, for it goes be-
 yond the bounds of reason in that # attempts to control a mans appetite by legislation, and in making crime out of things that are not crimes. A pro-
 hibition law strikes blow at the very
 principles on which our government
 was founded. I have always been
 found laboring to protect the weaker classes from the stronger and I never can give my consent to such a law as you propose to enact. Until my tongue shall be silent in death, I will continue to fight for the rights of men, sl

Professor Cox. the United States weather man" at Chicago has struck at one of the most cherished traditions
 of this and other lands. by branding the equinoctial storm as a myth From time out of memory, man has given the equinox wide berth
 Plans have been laid with a nice cal culation as to the days on which the seasons changes. as it was deemed reasonably certain that the passage of the sun across the line from winter to spring, or summer to fall. occasioned storms of unusual fury. But now comes Professor Cox, who with brusque and scientific manner, sweeps aside the tradition of centuries and brands it a myth" and even a mature fake" The equinox in and of itself" he recently stated, never caused storm. Why should it? The line which is crossed by the sun is purely an ar bitrary one, fixed by the calendar sys- tenn we use" But he was asked. has not the record of seasons shown the equinox to be stormy, as a rule?' If that is true" he said, it is sim ply because the seasons are changing
 It is likely. for instance, to be stormy d week or two before or after the equinox as it is in the week when the sun crosses the line. In March the

South Germans produce ice from
pure water In winter. They use a
large wooden framework in two sto-
ries, about SIX yards square and sfr

rises beyond the upper floors. This
tube Is connected with the water main
and the water issues through a ro-
