closes, just to get in line for chair
manships.
A surprise was created today by a
published interview with Lew Filing
ham, of Decatur, democratic chairman
of the Eighth district, in which he
declared his opposition to any attempt
to repeal the county local option law.
Ellingham says the law should have
a fair chance to be tested and that he
is against its repeal. Ellingham has
always been counted regular in the
party councils, and his declaration in
this matter, coming at a time when
the party is committed to the enact
ment of a township and ward local op-
ton law, is looked upon as serious
departure from regularity.

they are not ready to defend the pre-
sent system to the extent of laying
down their political lives. They be-
lieve in the system and undoubtedly
are honest in their belief, but they
recognize that if the country as a
whole demands change a change
will have to be made.
The question is, what shall the sub
stitute be? The reformers will have
to evolve some method Of procedure
that will still allow the nations bust
ness to be transacted. If hasty action
should be taken, the house is likely
the present.

An earnest appeal has been made
throughout the country to induce shop
pers TO do their Christmas trading
early. The motive for the appeal is
purely philanthropical. II is the sea-
son of charity and no charity would
be more appreciated by the hundreds
of girls and boys laboring late hours,
il the patrons would buy early. In
some of the larger cities, societies
have been organized in the interest of
the clerks. Literature has been sent
out and the newspapers have taken up
the work. 1t is pointed out that the
cheer of the thousands of shoppers at
this season of the year often brings
exhaustion to the tired clerks. Boys

ME|TzLER WANTED
FOR BIG HOLDUP
Former Richmond Man Said to
Be Implicated in Saloon
Robbery.
HAS HAD A WILD CAREER.
AFTER LEAVING THIS CITY HE IS
SAID TO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN
HoLDUPS IN SEVERAL SEC
TIoNS OF THE COUNTRY.

George Neither of Danville, ILL.,, and
formerly resident of this city, is
said to be implicated in the sensation
al holdup affair at Westville, ILL.,, last
week, and is now a fugitive from JUS
tice. Neither is we'll known in this
city. After leaving here about four
years ago, it is stated he soon entered
into career of crime and at the pres
ent time is nothing but common po-
lice character, having dropped every
pretense of responsibility.
1t is understood that for some time
Neither has been operating with a no.
torious gang Of Chicago 'stick-up" art
lists and has been the ring leader in
several sensational holdups.
The crime of which Neither is now
suspicioned, is the daring hold-up Of a
sa.oon at Westville last Tuesday.
Three masked men, one said to be
Neither, entered saloon in the little
town and at the points of their six
shooters, rifled the cash register of
$24O and then calmly went through the
pockets OF the patrons OF the place
Two of the men were captured, but
Neither has not been apprehended.
Last September Neither, it is de-
clared, pulled off hold-up in a small
Kansas towa, but through the influ-
enceof his family. which is one of the
best known in Danville, he succeeded
in getting out of this ugly scrape.
Neither, 1t is also stated, was saved
from being sent to the Illinois peniten-
tiary by his family after holding up a
man at Danville, and relieving him of
quite a sum of money.
George Neither came to this city
four years ago and opened up the EN-
pire cigar store, Main street, which
was at that time the property of his
brother, Joseph Neither. After op-
Grating this store for some time it was
sold out and then Neither left the city.

in their tracks completely worn out by
the fatigue of helping others in their
efforts to have a pleasant Christmas.
The conditions in Richmond are not
the same as in some of the larger cit
les, but every experienced clerk in this
county seat knows what the rush OF
the holiday trade means. Merchants
will approve of early shopping and the
clerks will rejoice if spared the killing
pace at the last. The purchaser will
feel better and so will all others, SO
why not buy early.

on the wholesale houses was more
indirect, but it has been felt just the
same. The retailers needed renewed
supplies, so the wholesalers were called
upon. Merchants report the annual
holiday trade has begun. 1t has made
an suspicious start, and it is expected
the progress to the end will be ended
in the last grand rush.

And, as ait and listen TO their
sweet,
Unearthly music, gone is every care,
Forgot is all the turmoil of the street
The troubles that tho path Of man be-

The vast anxietes of human life,
All fade away, and every fond regret
Is lost in all their glad and joyous
strife.

From happy conrsdsship

With none to greet me as ! walk my

To merely live count happy fate
To merely listen to those joyous sounds
That through the crisp of winter call
so free.
Although the nnerrymakers on their
rounds
Pause not to think of or remember
