LOST HIS ROLL
Nick Biel loses $500 and Finds No
Fault When Whole Sum is
Returned. Peculiar Incl
dent Causes Sensation

Nick Biel. a. farmer living in the
country about IL miles southeast Of. the
city, was the victim Of a peculiar rob-
berry Thursday forenoon and the affair
caused a sensation for several hours.
He went to the postofice shortly after
the arrival of No. 4 to purchase a money
order for about $57, to send to Sears &
Roebuck and as the clerk in the postofice
was making out the order. Mr.. Bel
J carelessly laid his pocketbook in the
t, Office window while he was busy looking
over a quantity of mail. When the order
was ready Mr.. Biel expected to pick up
his p%ocketbook and pay for the same,
but he Immediately, found that. his
/ pocketbook and money was missing and
there was nothing in sight which tended
to show how the money had disappeared.
(, The pocketbook contained $202. 90 and
the amount was sufficient to cause the
loser considerable worry. He was posi-
tive that the money was stolen but
could offer no clue as to who the thief
might be. There was nothing for Mr..
Biel to do but to 60 home and try to
forget his troubles.
+ He got his team in the early afternoon
and was driving through. the alley in
block No. 3 when a party came up to
him and handed out the pocketbook,
with the contents intact. and told Mr..
EBiel to take his money and cautioned
him to be more careful in the future.
The name of the party who returned the
money has not been revealed but it is
the general opinion that Mr.. Biel could
tell the mans name if he cared to.
Mr.. Biel seemed perfectly satisfied to
be reimbursed and being overjoyed by
the return of his money may be sufficient
reason for not knowing, or forgetting,
the name of the party who handed back
the roll of greenbacks. However, the
scare was sufficient to cause him q
whole lot of worry and, after going I'd
the postoffice and paying for the orders,
he decided it would be much safer to
deposit the money in town than to take
the chances of losing. it again. Moral
Don't try to send money out, of town
when it al be used at home. ,.

What Mioht Have Been.

Lord Rosebery in an address at Glas-
gov university some years ago gave ut.
terance to the following interesting
speculation: ,.:s
Had the elder Pitt when he became
prime minister; not left the house Of
commons he could doubtless have in.
duced George III. to listen to reason,
introduced American representation
into parliament and preserved the thir-
teen colonies to England The new
blood of America would have burst the
old vessels of the constitution and pro.
vided a self adjusting system Of repre-
sentation. There would have been no
war of separation, no war Of 1912, and
finally, when the Americans became a
majority, the empire would perhaps
have moved solemnly across the At
lantic and Britain become a historic
shrine, the European outpost Of the
empire"

Tho Share of Labor.

The United States Steel corporation
paid last year an average of $7G5 to
each of its 100000 employees. Labor
thus received $160,O0O,OOO. which sum
exactly equaled the entire net earnings
of this gigantic company
The workmen's share was great
deal more than twice the portion which
all the owners Of the stocks and bonds
received.
1t is common thing TO regard rise
or fall In the steel trade as n matter
which merely puts quotations up or
down and consequently affects no one
but the owners of the securities. A
glance at the foregoing figures should
convince any one that since labor gets

fare is even more vitally concerned

Why the Republican Party Should

BY Hon J. HAMPTON MOORE. member
OF congress from Pennsylvania
Say what you may about panics or

that under Republican administration
the country has prospered rs it never
prospered before. No arguments that
may be advanced by our want
change" friends can erase that truth.
Under Republican administration we
90 forward. Under Democratic ad-
ministration we go backward. When
we advance, as we have done with
Republicans at the helm, our op-
ponents are usually enabled to find
some flaws to pick at. When they are
in control, as. for instance. during the
two Cleveland administrations, the
slump is depressing. ! am one of
those who believe 1t Is better to go on
in the Republican way and do things
that improve the general welfare.

PROTECTS HONEST THEFT.
Why the Republican Party Should
Again Be Successful In 1908.

By Hon. C. II. YOUNG. president Repub-
lican club of New York city.
The Republican party deserves sue
cess in the coming campaign because
now, as ever. it stands for progress.
1t stands always for building. never
for tearing down. 1t stands for the
correction y evils. which evils must
be remedied or the country will stand
for socialism, along with the Democ-
racy The diseases to he remedied
need purging: the cancer must he re-
moved. The Republican party. having
discovered the disease and diagnosed
it properly. should use the remedies so
the government will not fall The De
mocracy should fail because it never
uses remedy when it gets into pow
er; only decries the disease while out
of power The Republican party. be-
lieving in protective tariff. can rene
Gy any defect better than the versus
party, which does not believe in
protective tariff. The Republican par
ty stands for remedying evils, not for
owning them. The Republican party
stands for reasonable radicalism and
not for socialism. The Republican par
ty will protect honest thrift and in
dustry. The Democratic party has al
ways done its best to destroy them
The Republican party saved the Un-
ion in 1860 from secession. 1t will
save it now from discomfort. bred by
n few who have gained wealth by
acuteness rather than by industry. 1t
has always raised monuments to its
worthless. never to its merely shrewd.
The nation needs legislation to pro-
tect both the poor and rich and to
enhance progress. The Republican
party has always helped initiate use
full legislation. The Democratic party
has always sought to oppose 1t.

Republican party to give its whole at-

DESERVES TO TRIUMPH.
Why the Republican Party Should
Again Be Successful In 1903.

By Hon. E. II. HINSHAW. member OF
congress from Nebraska.
The Republican party is entitled to
an emphatic Endorsement ut the polls
in 1908 because of the splendid record
made by that party and its presidents
since 1897. There has not been in the
history of the world n period of great
er progress politically and industrially
than is comprised within the last ten
years Of the history of this republic.
In all matters pertaining to the reg,lla-
ton of interstate curriers' especially
has the tendency been distinctly pro
gressve.
The record of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress equals If it does not surpuss the
work of any preceding congress. 1t
was pre-eminently congress of con-
structive statesmanship. The policies
there inaugurated entitle the party to
continuance of public favor. The
record of President Roosevelt stands
alone. and he typifies the aspirations
of the common people of this country.
They will tolerate 10 backward sep
and will insist upon a continuation of
his policies. The world moves. and
woe be unto that man or set of men
who attempt to check its progress.
With any leader who eXemplifies and
in good faith intends to carry forward
the policies enunciated by the president
and put into legislation by the congress
the Republican party deserves to win.
and in my Judgment the good sober
common sense of the American people
will declare that the Republican party
is content to control and direct the
destinies of this country.

The Negro Vote Safe.

Although the negroes hold the bal.
ance OF power In several northern
