The space was too narrow to allow any rolling.
 Every minute seemed like an hour. and already I began to long for daylight and morning. The other lodgers now began to come in to retire and I forgot my own misery as my heart went out to them-all more or less under the influence of liquor some staggering, others reeing and few with heads bowed, no laughter, not a smile, and each leaving as they passed my bunk, a distinct odor of barrel houser In half hour most of the beds were filled The saloons were closed-it was after i

Lodgers Retire In Disorder.

Some tumbled-or better fell-into the cots, dressed even to hats, other partly disrobed and some entirely. At any right very old man was talking to himself. Another poor duffer farther down was grooming with pain, while his neighbor was snoring as only drunken man can. Another man was battling in the corner with imaginary reptiles.
 And thus they slept. I heard a thud and, getting up to discover the cause, found that a sleeper had fallen out of bed, and he lay there in apparent peace. As I started to assist him back to bed a gruff voice said: Let him alone; he sleeps on the floor half the time
 And these were humans! It was too much for me, Sleep, and rest were out of the question in that room of horrors. I hastily gathered my clothes in my arms and retreated to the washrooms. After good wash and rubdown I dressed and descended to the office floor. There, at least, it would be quiet
 Clerk Tells His Story.
 'The clerk was warming his feet at the stove and he proved to be willing talker He told me he held that position for four years and had seen better days. Yes, booze was the cause, he said, and he never expected to get up in the world again. Just another failure.
 "He informed me there were 9S beds Tn ail--66 on the floor above and 32 in the room adjoining on that hoor-and usually all were occupied every night. All but about 20 of the lodgers were permanent guests and seldom paid for an extra night in advance. few of these worked, but most of them begged, and all were drunkards. They came from all paths of life, but had lost their strength and power, and some of them the desire to regain footing in the world. Their one thought on awakening in the morning is drink of whisky an 'eye-opener, as they call it, and their last thought at night a nightcap to make them sleep and so they live until the black wagon backs up and they are registered for the last sleep.
 Daylight had come and I stepped out and away from that house of hundred failures"

INTERRUPT AN
ALL NIGHT ORGY
Men Surrounded by Bottles
Captured by Police.

1t was an intended all night orgy
that officers Vogelsong and Bundy in
terrupted on the commons at Eighth
and South H streets about 2 o'clock
this morning. SPRAYED upon the
ground were Henry Hoppe, Harry KEEL
ley and Oscar Frame. About them
were scattered several empty beer
bottles and smaller number of whis-
Ky bottles partly full. Kelley and
Hoppe were arrested and Frame, who
is the father of five small children,
was told by the officers to go home
and behave himself. He was threat
ened with prosecution for the next Of
Tense.
In city court today. Hoppe offered a
humble plea of guilty and was fined
SO and costs. Kelley plead not guilty
and stood trial. His conviction was
just as easy. After the policemen had
told their stories he said he guessed
that was about the way of it and his
punishment was the same as Hopes.
Both men went to Jail, Hoppe still
somewhat unstable in his equilibrium.

A NECESSITY.

The-thsory has been advanced by
able romanticists now in the democrat
70 rsnks. that In case the county local
option bill goes through. there is no
reason for electing a republican gov
ernor.
Jim watson,s thunder will be gone"
they say.
AZ q matter OF fact the necessity for
slscting q republican legislature and
governor remains precisely the same
whether the county FOCAL option bill
goes through or not Everybody
knows that bill can be repealed.
What is the use Of pushing a bill
through in q special session and then
allow 1t to be killed in the next ses-
sion. The solid front which the DEM
ocratic members have shown against
county local option is In itself conclu-
sive proof Of why republican legisla-
ture is necessary. And as for the gov
ernor-Marshall has not said yet what
he would really do if the bill came up
in his administration If he were elect
ed.
Whatever may be said pro or con
about Watson, there is no denying the
fact that whenever Watson has spo-
ken. be the place brewery strong
hold or temperance place, his stand
has been unequivocal on the question
of county local option. Marshall. on
the other hand has lost the esteem of
many Of his friends by his evasive cha
meleon utterances. Whether county
local option goes through or not. a re-
publican legislature and a republican
governor are necessity to good gov
eminent, free from brewery domina-
ton.
Is it not q singular thing that the
pcratic party should be SO very
million-,s on the merits of ward and
means. PlS A u enae the

brewers should hold the same views?

brewers should hold the same views?
This singular coincidence of two
bodies of men is of course not to be
accounted for by the influence of one
on the other. No! These men by
individual thinking in widely separate
places, have come to the came belief.
1t is not to be supposed of course that
there is any connection between Thorn
as Taggart of French Lick and the
brewery trust, with Thomas Taggart,
the war lord of the democratic party.
Such would be an unwarranted as
sumption.
The next legislature of the state of
Indiana must be freed from brewery
domination. To attain this it must
be republican, elected on the platform
of the republican party, which declares
that county local option must be.
And also there must be a republican
governors man who Enthusiastically
comes out and stays for county local
option without evasion.
The present special session can in
no way dispose of the necessity for a
republican legislature and a republi-
can governor.
1t is necessity for good govern
ment.

He was favored with a sharp glance
at this remark, but he bent over his
diamonds again and began to examine
them one by one. He knew that the
action was tantalizing to his compan-
ion, and that Is why he did it.

poured out a stiff glass Of brandy. He
swallowed it as an ordinary person
takes an oyster.

his desk. Now we can get to close

Mr.. ROOSEVELT REPLIES.

Roosevelt has replied to Bryans in
quiry about Governor Haskell. 1t
ought to be plain now to Bryan, in
regard to the connection of his good
man Friday with the Standard Oil
company. Roosevelt has shown that
the court record duplicates Haskell
without the shadow of doubt, to say
nothing of the suspicious Ohio bust
ness
Is Mr.. Bryan sincere in his state
ments that Governor Haskell is to be
put out if sufficient proof is given?
Court records are rather Formidable
Il call your attention to the fact
that the question is not whether or not
the Judge erred or whether the injunc-
ton was proper. The point is that the
Governor was alert to take out CT the
hands of the attorney general what
the attorney general felt was his
sworn duty to prevent, an alleged in
stance OF the breaking of the laws by
this particular great corporation"
That is not the sort of thing which
is the ideal behavior for a campaign
treasurer.
Is Mr.. Bryan sincere?
The suggestion that Haskell be
tried is plausible enough. Certainly
he should be tried. But in the mean
time with evidence so damaging would
it not be wiser to get rid of Haskell
and let him clear himself afterward?
1t does not appear that there is any
great alacrity to scent the disgrace of
petroleum money in it's own camp
The cases of Haskell and Foraker
differ completely. Foraker. was dis
credited before the exposure. Haskell
is defended after more conclusive evil
dence is given.
The whole proceeding gives one the
impression that great deal of this
trust talk Of the democratic party is
nothing more nor less than talk.
The reply of Mr. Roosevelt to Mr.
Bryan was not devoid of it's sting.
Il put Mr.. Taft's deeds against
your words, I ask that Mr.. Taft be
judged by all his deeds for he wishes
| none of them forgotten. 1 ask that
you be judged both by the words you
wish remembered and by the words
that seemingly you and your party
| now desire to have forgotten
How long will it be until Mr. Bryan
desires that Haskell too, "is not con-
tanned in the party" and is one whom
Mr.. Bryan and his party seemingly
desire to have forgotten"

He could not help this display of
cheap sarcasm. The situation was los
ing its annoyance. The humor of it
was beginning to dawn on him. When
his glance rested more critically on
Philip, the boys age, the poverty of
his circumstances, the whole fantastic
incongruity Of the affair forced his
recognition.
Not unprepared for such a retort,
Philip gathered the stones together
and twisted the ends of the paper.

Office door.
Here, what are you doing?" cried
Isaacstein.

man. vainly striving to cloak his ner-

Il am not Joking. Mr.. Isaacstein.
Your price is my price-f50, 000."
"Do you think / carry that amount Of
money in my purse?" demanded Isaac
stein. striving desperately to think out
some means whereby he could get Phil
ip into a more amiable mood. when,
perchance, the true story Of the gems
might be revealed.
NO. was the answer. Even If you
gave it to me / should not take it

things. Then tomorrow you can bring

month, any reasonable period, In fact"
The diamond merchant was quickly
becoming serious, methodical, as he lis
tened This businessiike proposal was
the one thing needed to restore his be-
wildered faculties.

Watching Isaacstein's face was ar
interesting operation to Philip. Under
ordinary conditions he might as wei
expect to find emotion depicted in 4
pound of butter as in that oily counte
nance. with its set expression moldee
by years OF sharp dealings. But today
the man was startled out of all the &C
customed grooves of business. He was
confronted with a problem so move
that his experience was not wild.

So Philip caught CLEAN OF resent

TO see Mr.. Abingdon again at tn,
