SPECIAL"

come into touch with him at one other
time. The first personal contact with
him was in 1896. He was then a Pop
ulist and along with nearly all the
rest of the party was supporting Bry-
an. 1t was my province to bill him as
a speaker, and remember the good re-
ports that came from his meetings.
Debs was already national character
at that time. having carried on his
Pullman strike In 1894 and served
fail sentence for his pains. He is one
of the few men on whom term in
prison left not the slightest hint OF
stain on either his character or repu-
tation. He went through the fire with
out an eyebrow being singed. The
only reference that has ever been
made to Debs' Jail sentence is that his
supporters have used it as campaign
issue and have tried to make martyr
of him. But Debs is not martyr, at
least not yet What he may be some
day time and the battle between capt.
tai and labor alone can determine.
Lincoln Steffens says that he may be
hanged before he is done with the
game and that Debs rather than half
expects that fate himself. The Social
ist leaders own hero is John Brown.
But, with all due respect to both Stef-
fens and Debs, there is not the slight
est danger of any such outcome. We
do not hang men for their opinions In
this day. We may ignore them or
laugh at them or even stop them from
speaking on the street corners. but
hanging is too coarse and common. 1t
is fussy and out of date. When Stef-
fens wrote that item he was trying to
furn phrase and sell magazine arti-
Gle.
Power of His Magnetism.
Debs did not stay long with the Pop
ulists Soon after the 1896 campaign
he conceived the idea OF joining the
Socialists and not only going to them
+ himself, but taking his railway union
ssaong. The power of the man is seen
In the fact that he was able to deliver
the goods. turning over practically an
entire organization as another man
would turn over deed to a farm.
Not that Mr.. Debs used any improper
meansi He could not have done so II

CHARGE AGAINST BILLIARDS
They Are Accused Of Taking Dis
trained Beast; the Complaint.
From Fridays Daily.


Thomas Ballard, Columbus Ballard,
Jr., Edward Boelhlke and Bernhard
Frantz, all we'll known farmers living
southeast of the city, have been ar
rested on complaint of Willis N. Bal
lard, brother of Thomas, on the charge
of taking distrained beast. The al
legged crime was committed Oct. IL. The
defendants have all pleaded not guilty
and their trial has been set for Oct.
% at 9 a. m. A. r. Pau Jr., will
defend them.
According to the account of the affair
told The Free Press Thomas Ballard re-
Gently sold his form to Willis n. Ballard
and moved off of the premises, taking
everything except one cow, which was
loose. A week later, Thomas Ballard
returned for the COW, but was told
that he could not take it until he
had paid S. for the damage that it
had done. He returned home without
the COW, but last Sunday returned for
it with wagon, and accompanied
by the other three defendants, to as
sist him in boxing the COW.
1t was stated that when the four
men drove up. Thomas Ballard offered
the S. for the damage done by the
COW, but that his brother said that it
was Sunday and that would not take
the check, and cut the conversation
off at that. Thereupon, the four men
drove upon the place and drove the
COW into an enclosure and got her
into the wagon, and started to drive
out, but in the meantime Willis Bal
lard had chained the gate and stood
there on guard. The four men then
drove in the other direction, pulled
two posts of fence and drove over the
fence and then replaced the posts,
leaving the fence in good order.

Little betting is being done on the

fered money on the Nebraska man this
morning and was nearly mobbed by
takers. When he saw how willing the

have been found. Most of the sport
ing fraternity are waiting for develop
ments and say that they will not
place any money until a week or so
before election.
