GRAIN MAN RETURNS.
Involved in a Million Dollar Failure
at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept 24-John Dickinson.
head of the defunct stock and grain
brokerage house of John Dickinson &
Co., of Chicago and New York, who
mysteriously disappeared on the eve
of the $1,000,000 failure of his firm on
been searching has re-appeared in
Chicago.
Dickinson's appearance comes as a
surprise to his attorney and the Chi
cago Title & Trust company, receiver
for the concern, as it was reported
that the bankrupt broker had been
recently in Paris, in Mexico and in
California. When the receiver was
appointed by the federal court, about
$4,000 and some furniture were seiz-
ed in New York. Dickinson was want
ed in the court of Referee in Bankrupt
toy Sydney c. Eastman in Chicago in
order that it might be learned what
had become of the assets of the firm.
Unannounced, Dickinson reached
Chicago and hurried to the office of
his attorney, George w. Plummer. At
ter q short CONFERENCE with Attorney
Plummer Dickinson went to the Of
flee of Attorney Francis ]. Houlihan,
attorney for the Chicago Title &
Trust company and then proceeded to
the office of Referee in Bankruptcy

Prove Successful.
Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 24.-The
Observation-Disclosures motor car start
ed on its first trip Thursday morning
at o'clock with nearly its full ca
pacity of seventy passengers. Many
of the tickets were sold for Beatrice
and Lincoln.
The car requires a train crew of
only two men-a conductor and mo-
torman. Conductor Jack Burton who
has run for years on the Blue Valley
freight will be in charge of the car
and man from the Omaha shops is
acting as motorman for the present.
Possibly an engineer will be given
the run later on but as a rule railroad
men who have been running ful1-sized
trains don't like the motor car runs;
a motor car probably seems to them
too much like a plaything to engage
the serious attention of an experienced
train man.
But running a motor car is rather
highly paid play. The Manhattan
Beatrice run is good for $40 a month
and the conductor can be at home ev-
cry night with Sundays off,
The engine in Motor Car No. has
just been rebuilt and converted from
120 to a 200 horse power machine.
1t is capable of a speed of sixty miles
an hour and will consume from sixty
to seventy gallons of gasoline on ear
round trip. The gasoline for the en-
CINE will be kept at Beatrice. If it
were kept at this end of the line it
would have to be handled in the dark
which is considered dangerous.

After all that has been said about peliagra they are now forced to admit that the cause of 1t has not yet been denniteiy ascertained. As ali wiii re- member, it has only been few months since active interest began to be taken in the matter. and then the most positive declarations were sent out that the disease was due to un- sound corn and to nothing else. It did no good to point out that comparative iy little corn was consumed in Italy, where peiiagra had been prevalent for generations. and that in our own coun- try where corn has been . staple ar ticle of food for centuries there. had been nothing heard of the disease un- til within a few months. All such facts and arguments had no effect; it was due to unsonnd corn and nothing else. and timid people were fast reach- ing point where they were afraid to eat any of the products of our native grain. Now they are admitting that they are at sea on the subject. and that while unsound corn may cause It. so may several other things. When they decide what produces the disease they may be able to find a remedy for 1t. and not before. we should say.

LOSING HEART IN THE FIGHT.

ConGressman Richmond P. Hobson. says if he had had anything to do with 1t. he would not have called the spe- cial election on the Constitutional amendment at this time. Former Con- sressman sydney J. Bowie says that a
 majority of the preachers of the State depiore the light at this time and heartily wish that it had been put of to more suspicious season. A great majority of the amenders of this sec
 ton of the State do not hesitate to say that the calling of the special election and the forcing of the light at this time was most unfortunate and that they regret that they ever heard of it.. But politics must be served. The politicians calmly and deliberately forced the fight They were confident | that they would sound the call and that no matter what they did and no
 matter what they said. they could force lineup if the word prohibition was in It. no matter how much 1t might be abused or misused.
 No call went up in Alabama for Constitutional prohibition from the rank and file. or from the local lead- CTS. They were as much surprised as the remainder of the people of Ala
 bama. when 1t was found that the Governor had put 1t In his call and had with political cunning held back that the members of the Legislature could not learn the sentiment of their people and so that they would be brought under the arbitrary influence. which in the eyes of the people of Ala bama cast discredit on the acts of that body.
 Now that the amendment Is facing certain defeat the sincere prohibition ists depIore the light into which they have been led and which with all the energy expended and all the unpieas- antness suffered Is going against them. Naturally they resent the leadership which led them against their will into fight which must end in defeat. The eyes of the earnest prohibitionists are no more closed to the politics which gave birth to the unfortunate issue than the eyes of the men who still believe with the Democratic party that local option Is the American solution of the great question involved.

 And behold there came a voice unto him. and said. What doest thou here,
 We have seen how Elijah treated the prophets of Baal: laid them under arrest. brought them down to the ford kishon and slew them there. We do not read that the Lord had command e,i that He approved of 1t. Still we are not to blame Elijah, for we are not in possession of all the facts which compelled his burning zeal But false prophets are not to be treated so to- day. We have learned that error cam not be put down by force. and not even religion itself Is not to be upheld by the intliction of pains and penalties Jexebel. hearing of this onslaught. sends him a message of threats and vengeance. See what Elijah did: And when he saw that. he arose and sheba . 'and left his servant there" There Is no deliberation In this move ment. Elijah fled as we should flee from fire. With no thought of per- sonal dignity: no regard for epPear; Ahab and the priests of Baal ran away from this threat of the Kings wife.
 Why does Jezebel send warning ? Why not take instant revenge? It Is thus that God by His Divine provt- dence turns to confusion the counsel of the ungodly. He draws a line be- yond which mans weak fury cannot pass. Jezebel takes a day to perfect her plans. and in that day Elijah escapes beyond the bounds of her power forever. God also makes a way | of escape for us. did we but know 1t. A city of refuge from temptatlon-- fear. peril. sin Is at hand-flee 10 It, and be safe.
 He requested for himself that he might die''-Elijah wanted to die. yet he was unwilling to be murdered.
 To be taken away by the Lord is one thing; to consent to being killed quite another. This request on his | part proves the frailty of the greatest | human strength. See how jealous he had been in his onslaught. how human | in his fear.
 Tn his extremity. an angel is sent to bring him food and strengthen him. 1 Elijah had his food before he entered the wilderness: Christ after He had been there forty days, An angel brought food to Elijah; the devil l tempted Christ to make Himself bread.

After the amendment is defeated will advisor Lawrence hie him back to the land of miscegenation, or will the Governor keep him here to determine for him what the next extra session must do? As a matter of fact. how ever, what the Governor most needs is some one to tell him where he can get the money to make up the deficit he has needlessly brought on the State. What he evidently forgot to do was to propose an amendment to the Constitution taking of all tax limita- tion, so that he might levy as high taxes as he wishes. In that way he might raise the money-perhaps.
