story Used by Or. Hill TO Rehuke
uItra.Sociallst.

A Bucknell university professor was
talking about David Jayne Hill, the
successor In the Berlin embassy to
Charlemagns Tower.
"Dr. HILL" he said, impressed us
here-you know he was our president
for number Of years-no less with
his wit than with his learning. He
had thought and written on many sub
jects--psychology rhetoric, socialism,
finance-and to hear him discuss these
subjects was a delight, heard him
take down one day an ultra-socialistic
student.
Young man. he said, you and
your extravagant friends remind me
In your attitude toward capital, OF a
Plainfield cooks attitude toward her
mistress. One Christmas time, when
lived at Plainfield. lady sent her
cook out to buy the Christmas turkey.
But when the cook returned, she had

FINDS TRACE OF
MISSING BROTHER
DEATH NOTICE OF CAPT. ARTHUR
GLENN OF CAIRO REVEALS
SAD STORY.
RAN AWAY FROM HOME
When Boy--Family Never Heard
From Him Until They Read
His Death Notice.

A pathetic sequel has developed t
the death OF the late Capt. Arthur
Glenn who died at the L. S. Marine
hospital In this city January 8, as will
be noted from the following from the
| Columbus. Ohio, Dispatch:
III mother could only have known,'
is now the only expressed indication
tof the heart clutch which for nearly a
half century has affected the home OF
Mrs. Sarah Sleen Jones, of 379 West
Maple street. Forty years ago, In
iSe7--a brother, captain Arthur
Glenn probably encouraged by the
experiences of soldiers encamped near
the city, ran away In reading The
Dispatch. his sister learned that her
brother died a respected citizen of
Cairo, Illinois, but the one who would
be most supremacy interested-the
mother-has in the meantime died
Dies in Cairo, Illinois.
Although at the time of his disap-
pearance. the strictest search was in
stituted, not a trace of the then lad
could be discovered. The shift of
40 years placed into the hands OF the
sister the information that her broth
er had died in a hospital in the city
mentioned. A letter was sent to the
doctor OF that hospital and it was re-
addressed to the family consisting of
widow and one son Arthur The
death OF Captain Glenn, on January
2, and since that time several letters
have passed between the son and
Mrs. Jones.
The father after leaving Columbus
a lad of 10 years went west and be

at Arkansas City IN 1885. and later
moved to Memphis ami Cairo. where
he resided for about ten years.

tiers, all elderly women. Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Mulligan, of JACKSONVILLE, Mrs
Mary Shea. of 92S Pennsylvania ave
nue., and an unmarried sister. Miss
Elizabeth Glenn, who lives with her
sister, Mrs. Shea.
The relief of the relatives now alive
may be imagined. and the joy of dis
covering that all has been well with
the brother during these years brings
with it great and overwhelming re
lief.
The son OF the deceased brother
long mourned, is a youth of twenty
and is in the employ of the Illinois
Central railway. From the letters
written and the chirography the evi
dence is that he is a young man OF
more than usual ability.
Mrs. Jones. who read the little item
in the paper is overjoyed that she
should have been the one to discover
her brothers whereabouts.

Tunnel Progressing Slowly.

During the month of August
the heading at River Portal of the
Gunnison tunnel was advanced SO
feet and at the West Portal II
feet. or a total of log feet for the
month. The slow progress at the
west end was occasioned by the
flood that filled up the portal and
a large portion of the open cut.
necessitating the removal of a
very large amount of debris be-
fore work could be resumed in
the heading. This left on the
first of September 4.732 feet be-
tween headings.
So far in September the pro-
gress has been very satisfactory
at this end of the tunnel with
three shifts pushing the work,
but at River Portal it has been
impossible to advance the head
ing owing to the immense vol
ume of water coming in. Another
water course was broken into
about 100 feet further on from
where the big flow was struck
that caused so long delay. This
causes a discharge of l,060 gal
gons OF water per minute and is
taxing the capacity of the new
big pumps to remove it, 1t is
hoped the seam will drain itself
soon and shooting can be re-
sumed in the Neutrality-suspicious.

The Kansas City Star, dicuss
ing Mr.. Bryan's argument in favor
of larger participation in govern

the farmers had had their share
in the making of the laws in the
last half century there would be a
more equitable economic system
in this country. The tariff ques-
ton would have been solved long
ago. for the farmers. being both
producers and consumers, have a
very good point of view-or
should have-on this subject.
Had they a controlling voice IN
the making of the tariff it would
be impossible for the makers of
agricultural implements, for ex-
ample. to exact of them from %
to 80 per cent more for imple-
ments than these same manu-
facturers receive in foreign coun-
tries. 1t would be impossible for
