The American Benedick.

The various ridiculous caricatures
of domestic life in this country which
many of the newspaper artists set
forth day by day have often a certain
lesson for the home circle; and If
the art were not so exaggeratedly i'm
possible, the sketches are often
clever. No doubt that is part of the
fun, however, to draw men, women
and children as they never were, and
with the most gruesome possible set
of features and the figure of meal
sack or a jumping-jack
One such set of pictures in the
Pittsburg Sun is American to the
core. 1t presents a delighted SILLY"
who twirls his hat madly on a stick,
explaining to a wondering male COM
panion: "Hooray, hooray, my wife's
going to the country" The succeed
ing pictures show the fellow strutting
boastfully about before his audience
of one, affirming the naughty things
he will do during his reversion to
bachelor life. The friends admir-
ing CALCULATIONS are in steady cres-
cendo. At the bottom of the series
are two pictures that show What

A writer in the Washington Star
tells this story of an uncle who was
little inclined to scorn the ways Of
schools and school teachers:
At the graduation of his nephew,
he said to the boy, "Well, Tommy,
what did they teach you there?"
Latin and Creek" the boy re-
piled, "and German and algebra"

with a critical air, "and what's the

INDICTMENTS
IN PROSPECT
FOR GRAFT ERS

Springfield, Ills, Aug. 1.-Iindict-
ments against a number of members
of the state legislature, it has been
learned, are sure to follow the ses-
sion of the Sangamon county grani
| jury which will meet for deliberation
this week. A republican member of
the Illinois legislature is said 10
nave confessed to State Attorney
Edmund Burke all the details in
connection with the big Jack pot"
which the Republican members are
alleged to have divided last session.
Both legislators and business
men, some of the later Chicagoans
are named in the controversy and
at least a dozen subponas have been
issued for them to appear before
the jury.
Burke refuses to give out any of
the details but it is learned that the
member confessing is from the
farming district; that his act in ac.
cepting money has so preyed upon
his conscience that he was forced to
talk.
1t is declared that eight separate
and distinct bills have been named
as paid for, together with the
amounts, the persons who put up the
money, those who collected it and
these who received it.
A few of those named are Demo-
Gratis but the majority are Republi-
cans.

JACK FINCH
MAN WHO COMMITTED DEADLY
ASSAULT UPON TWO GUESTS
AT WILSON HOUSE, SATURDAY
NIGHT is STILL AT LARGE.

Al WLhcON hOUSb, SAIOHDAH
NIGHT is STILL AT LARGE.
Chief Of Police Gibson is still con
ducting a search for Jack Finch,
who is charged with assault with a
deadly weapon upon the persons of
NJ. A. Tucker and George Bum, at
the Wilson House Saturday night, but
so far he has not been able to secure
any trace Of him.
The trouble which provoked the
assault seems to have been with rela-
tion to an accounting between the
three men. According to the story
told by Tucker and Bum, they were
partners with Finch, and when, Sat
urday night, they tried to get an ac-
counting, Finch could not agree with
them, and trouble ensued. Finch
finally became so angered that he
whipped out knife and severely cut
the chest of Tucker and the face of
Bum before they could escape from
him. After the encounter he flea,
and is now believed to be in Port
land.

None of the delegates at the world

who represents all the native church
es Of the London Missionary Society
in the Chinese empire, is the first
man ever elected as delegate to Il
world-religious conference by the
vote of his fellow-natives. These ma
tives have also raised R1OO to pay his

Conviction of Saloonkeepers Arrested
Yesterday by Agent Sero Hindge.
on Bell Boys Work.
CHARLES TEDF0RD ILL in BED
His Case Indefinite Because of Dipth.
eria, But Others Come up Monday
and Tuesday.

1t was a boy from Bemidji who
secured the whiskey which caused the
arrest of the three saloonkeepers in
Cass Lake yesterday afternoon by
Federal officer N. ]. Sero on the
charge of having sold liquor to a
minor.
Charles Tedford, one of the saloon
men involved, is confined to his bed
from severe attack of diptherla
and his residence is quarantined.
The date for his case could not be
set, but the case against Samuel Su-
tor will come up in Cass Lake be-
fore Justice Lang on Monday and
of Saloonkeeper Hanson on Tuesday.
Government agents became con-
WINGED several days ago that the
Cass Lake dealers were selling to
minors. Proof in such cases is diff
cult to obtain. 1t did not appear
plausible that Cass Lake boy who
could get liquor would care to offer
testimony.
The plan of sending lad from Be.
midjl was adopted and John Miller
a bell boy about sixteen years old
temporarily employed at the Rex
hotel, was secured to visit Cass
Lake and purchase liquor.
This boy went to Cass Lake and
returned with several bottles OF
whiskey which he claims to have
purchased of the dealers there,
and it is upon his evidence that the
government largely depends for con
viction.
The Bemidji boys reputation i.
none too good. He received at leas,
$6 from government agents for bis
Cass Lake expedition and when the
nature of the trip became known to
the Rex management the boy was
at once discharged. However, his
evidence in the Cass Lake cases
is said to be conclusive.
County Attorney Funck has been
absent from the city for several days
and when he returned today the
matter was laid before him.
