Here is real hard-luck story.
Two months ago the six-year-old son
of Frederick Levy of 624 South Amer
lean street, Philadelphia, fell in front
of a street car and had his left arm
severed at the shoulder. Before the
lad was released from the Pennsyl-
vania hospital his mother and three
other children were removed to the
Municipal hospital with fever.
Some days later eight-year-old Fred
erick Levy, at home with his father,
ran from the house on an errand
Within a stones throw of his home he
slipped and fell in front of trolley
car. The left foot was taken off at the
ankle.
as he was being hurried to the
Pennsylvania hospital the wagon in
which he had been placed collided
with another wagon at Fifth ant
South streets. The driver, Almond
Scherer of 936 North Eighth street
was thrown to the pavement and his
arm was broken. The injured lad was
also thrown out, and the loss of blood
occasioned by the delay came nea1
costing his life.

Republican Primary Frauds.

The thick and thin radical or
gans which take their cue from
the astute bellwether of Repub-
lican journalism in Missouri, the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, have
been vociferously throwing dust
into the air for the purpose of
binding Democratic and Repub-
lican voters alike to the gross
frauds perpetrated at the pri-
maries in st. Louis in behalf of
the Republican machine ticket.
Because the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor was embittered
against North Gentry, his own
appointee to office, insomuch as
the latter had dared to have a
mind of his own and ran for the
nomination for Attorney-General
as a free and u~ntrammelled Re-
publican, it was decided that this
bright young man should be
given a taste Of the big stick
that he should be c~astigated and
shown.

things about sewer politics he
hadn't dreamed of.

in st. Louis doubts for an in
slant that, without contrary
