Arthur Pennell, right fielder for the
Cooleysox, was released by Dick
Cooley at Sioux City, according to
Sioux CITY paper. Pencil split a
finger while catching a fly ball in

to have gone to pieces or been batter

Cooley let Pencil go thinking he
would not be able to play again or for
additional reasons is not known here.
There seems to be no strings on the

SHOULD MAKE HATS CHEAP.
Custom House Has just Released a
Large Consignment of Panamas.

New York June 30.-The work of
appraising the first lot of Panama hats
seized on Collector Loeb's orders for
alleged differentiation has been COM
pleted. The experts placed the value
at 1924, 552, according to announce
ment at the custom house. while the
first valuation was $4,000.
The importers will probably now be
allowed to give bond and get as much
of the stock as their bond permits,
pending adjustment.
This power to get the goods is what
the importers have been struggling for
ever since the first seizure and the
stop order. which tied up $1,000 900
worth of the headgear and checked
the Panama hat trade for the season.
The treasury agents. now that the ap-
praisal of the first lot has been made,
will start in at once on other lots.

RAIDERS REMEDY FOR esaavmAnDsH,no.

The following paragraphs on "gerrymandering" re found on page
II OF Raiders Civil Government and History of Missouri" a textbook
used In half or more Of the common schools of this state. IT is the
work OF Hon. Perry S. RAIDER, now Supreme Court Reporter under
appointment of the judges who lately rendered the decision against
the proposed antigeTymander amendment to the Constitution, He
is and for years has been prominent in Democratic party amairst
I'm forming the districts each state is frequently Influenced by the
interest Of the party which happens to be in control OF the Legislature.
To be sure, the Congress usually requires that a district shall be com
posed of contiguous territory, containing IS nearly as practicable an
equal number of inhabtants' But every county is contiguous to some
other, and practicable to too many legislators means what is most
advantageous to their party. So there has grown up in all the states,
it matters not what party lie in control, a practice by which the dis
tricts are s. laid out that the largest possible number CT them are
carried by the party in power. The practice is called 'perryman-
deing'
The real remedy for whatever injustice arises from ecrryman-
dering is to be found in al appeal to the legislators sense of f@lrness,
and the defeat at the polls of ahe party that resorts to II to the extent
Of defeating the popular WILL" b.
Perhaps your children have learned the above lesson frcl Mr.
Raiders book. Try to learn it and apply 1t yourself when you ,cte In

this state is the Democratic party.

AN UNHAPPY PARAeE PERPLEx.
ING o. r. FRANCIS.

The st. Louis Mirror, edited by
Marion Reedy, a Democrat, says:
THAT was an unhappy phrase In
the letter sem out to the business
men Of the state in advocacy of the
nomination of David r. Francis for
United States senator-'men of our
class This is not q class govern
ment--not in theory, at least, though
men Of our class appear largely to
have made 1t 80.
1.-THE phrase is unfortunately apt In
characterization of the gentleman in
whose behalf 1t was used. It iden-
tihes him with pretty nearly every
thing to which tho party of which
he seeks an exalted honor Is opposed.
II would seem that only the most
drastic methods OF organization and
an appeal to the power OF the re-
sources Of men Of class would
be equal to counteracting the disas-
trous effect of an expression as fatu-
GUS in its way as Rev. DR.. Burchard's
Rum. Romanism and Rebellion"
The letter referred to was sent out
by Mr.. Murray Carleton, a Wholesale
merchant, capitalist and director In
the street railway monopoly and sew
eral other big corporations in st.
Louis. The letter was sent under q
CONFIDENTIAL restriction to many Re-
publicans of the state and fell into
the hands Of the Republican State
Press Bureau, whence It found way to
wide publicity. ,
