New York Especially. = With the
lining up at police headquarters of
Frederick Cunningham and Frank
Chester, the two men caught while
trying to get away with trunks con-
tanning $4,000 in stamps stolen
from the postoffice at Richmond,
Va, the detective force stated its
belief that it had made one of the
most important captures in years.
One of the men arrested for the
Richmond burglary, the police be-
lieve, is Eddie Fay, a muchwanted
fugitive, whose picture is in every
rogues' gallery of Importance in the
country and for whose apprehension
total of about $4,000 in rewards
have been offered in various cities.
This prisoner is the one known as
Cunningham. He was recognized by
Detective Peabody and other old
timers, who said that as Eddie Fay
he was known as one of the best
all-around safe blowers in the coun-
try.
According to the detective bu-
reau, Fay is wanted in Los Angeles,
CAL, for blowing the safe of the
postoffice in 1905 and getting away
with S10,73S worth of stamps and
$4,000 in gold. There is $1,000
reward for his capture for this job.
Five years ago, in Peoria, Ill.,, he
blew the safe of the postoffice and
got away with $4,000 worth of
stamps. A year later he again blew
the same safe and this time made
off with $4,000 worth of stamps.
He was convicted and sent to jail
in Springfield, ILL.,, in August, 1897,
but broke out short time later. He
also broke Jail in GAINESVILLE, Wis,
where he had been sent for safe
blowing. The detectives say there
is a record of four murders against
him.
Fay, the detectives say, is worth
from 100000 to 100000 and
owns a string of race horses. The
police say they do not know much
about the man caught with Fay.
Fight Like Wildcats.
Both men, while in the custody
of the police, fought like wildcats
at police headquarters, in the pa
troll wagon going down to the Tombs
Court, and again on their way to the
Federal Building. When Fay was
brought face to face with the cam
era in the identification bureau head
quarters, he made a fight against
having his picture taken. For two
hours he rolled on the floor, twisted
his face out of shape, and, despite
all efforts, made the taking of his
picture impossible.
Extraordinary precautions to pre-
vent their escape were taken at the
arraignment before a federal commits
sioner.
The police believe that the fight
ing in the patrol wagon and in en-
tering and leaving it were to make
possible a concerted rush of confed-
crates in the street to rescue. A
great mob followed the wagon
through the streets as the burglars
shrieked and kicked at the 10 de-
tectives who were holding them in.

Neither man had counsel in court

A Good Fall.

The writer took a walk today
around to see the different business
men of the city and the unanimous
opinion seems to be that we are 60
ing to have a big fall. The farmers
they claim will be in better shape
than theyshave been for years, owing
to the fact that they owe less money
and altho the cotton crop will be cut
off perhaps twenty five per cent the
increased price will more than take
care of that situation.
The county is full of corn and
meat hogs which will make the far
mers independent even if provisions
are high.
Our merchants are preparing to
buy heavier this fall than usual and
they are right as trade conditions
are better than they have been for
several years.
The high price of mules will be
covered it is thought as the Texas
cattle men are turning their atten-
ton to raising horses and mules

Texas.Missouri Rivalry.

Newspapers in Texas and Missouri
have been carrying on quite debate
about the relative gains in population
of these two states. The st. Louis
Globe-Democrat admits that Texas has
perhaps added 100000 or $780, 900 to
her population, placing the Lone Star
state slightly ahead of Missouri whose
increase is only 6 per cent. This low
estimate is resented by the Houston
Post, which says Texas will show be-
tween 100000 and 100000 in
crease, placing It far beyond compari-
son with Missouri. The Post seems IN
have some ground for its assumption.

Genius Gone Wrong.

1t seems that Fl. C. Ostermann, the
main figure in the Illinois Central
graft conspiracy which enriched sew
eral employees of that company, began
his career as a newsboy at the age Of
6 years. Then he became a bellboy,
and from that went to another similar
position a little more lucrative. Stead
lily by dint of ingenius application he
mounted the ladder until finally he
came to a position of commanding In
fuence, of large salary and larger pos
sibilities. His friends called him a
genius and took pride in his success
But it waE genius gone wrong. In
learning the lesson of sober industry,
Of untiring application, he failed to
learn the more important lesson of
scrupulous fidelity to a trust, a lesson
which boys and young men beginning
their business careers had better get
hold of before they attempt to master
any of the other branches in life's
curriculum.
Ostermann's genius is of little
value to him today; certainly it is not
potent enough to bring back what he
has lost, while gaining for himself
and his confederates the $4,000, 900
through fraud. Through all his pecu-
lations his shrewd genius shines, but
its luster is dimmed at last in the light
of the laws exposition, showing only
the naked form Of selfish ambition.

Efficiency and Net Banning,

The Louisville G. Nashville railroad
has made what Wall street publica-
ton calls "a marvelously favorable
showing in its annual report for the
twelve months ending June 80, 1910"
Despite the fact that its operating ex-
penses were increased $685. 900, it's
gross earnings made a gain of $7,O07,-
400, and it's net earnings overlapped
those of the previous year by $1,649,-
412. This is a gain in gross earnings
of 10 pei cent and net earnings of 10
per cent over the preceding year,
which is most remarkable under the
circumstances. 1t must be remem-
bered that cotton shipments were away
low for this year and that they consti-
tute one of the largest sources of rail-
road income in the south. In addition
to all this, the average freight rates of
the Louisville & Nashville, as we'll as
some other southern lines, were lower
in the fiscal year ending in June than
previously.
Here, then, We have this situation:
A vast increase in operation expenses,
reduced freight rates, light traffic in
cotton and yet marked increases in
gross and net earnings.
What is the explanation? One is
bound to inquire, what would the re-
suit have been had rates and cotton
shipments remained as they were, or
been advanced? A superficial study of
the case cannot but suggest some dis
paragement as to this general demand
by railroads for an increase in freight
rates. But underneath this conclusion
in the case of the Louisville & Nash
vile lies another very significant fact.
Efficiency in operation" is said to
have been the vital factor in maintain
ing these increases against all the
odds mentioned. Undoubtedly this ia
true. 1t is high time that all railroads
were giving more attention to this
subject. There can be little doubt that
revenues are absorbed in waste or
careless operation; in loose or anti
quated methods, and that very often
efficiency in management is what ia
needed instead OF higher rates, or even
larger volume OF traf1c.

As to Canaelling Invitations.

If they we're really sincere it would
not be to the discredit Of democrats in
Iowa that they have recalled their in
vitation to Mr.. Bryan to speak for
them in the state campaign because
OF his Inconsistent attitude, repudiat-
ing in one state what he advocates in
another. II would seem surprising il.
for no more than political expediency.
democrats of Iowa and Indiana did
not awake TO the fact that Mr.. Bryan's
support under these circumstances was
questionable asset in those states
this year Now that Iowa democrats
have come to this conclusion it will be
all the more interesting to see how
the democrats of Indiana are going
to get around the question So far
as the democrats of Nebraska are con-
cerned, they are playing the dog-in-
the-manger act of receiving Bryan's
help where he wants to give il and
doing without where they must, but
in the meantime refusing to acknowl-
cage MIN as the Peerless Leader" for
the present campaign.
While Mr.. Bryan appears now as
something Of a repudiated leader, the
chances are that by 1912 he will be
again sought after by those democrats
who are now revoking their invita-
lions to him. In all probability Mr..
Bryan's moral issue will be fairly we'll
worn by then and he will be out with
brand-new paramount, just as ne has
been in every national campaign since
1895. The Macedonian cry will go out
to him then and his dates will not be
cancelled by the national committee
as they have been by the state com
mittee in Iowa. He will find that more
than himself can play at this game of
back-action politics.

The democratic party in Nebraska
Is self-condemned.
Two years ago. for the first time in
twenty years, a democratic gov
ernor was elected and installed in
ONCE, and supported by a legislature
Overwhelmingly democratic in both its
houses The democratic party was
thus placed in complete control in Ne
braska of the law-making and law
enforcing departments of state gov
eminent and given the administration
OF all state institutions.
The unbroken precedent in all po-
litical parties is to accord a governor
asking for a second term as endorse
ment Of a satisfactory and creditable
record, an unopposed denomination.
Governor Shallenberger. himself, has
publicly admitted that he thought
himself entitled to this endorsement
by his own party no matter what
might be the verdict of the people as
a whole later at the polls But as the
only democratic governor of Nebraska
in twenty years, Governor shallen-
berger was turned down for renomina-
ton and refused the vote Of confidence
which he sought in the democratic
primary.
BY this action the democratic party
has proclaimed its own incompetency
to give the state a satisfactory govern
ment. 1t has put the seal of con-
demnation upon the record made by
democratic governor and democratic
legislature. 1t has said that no dem
ocrat can be trusted for a second term
in high Office, and has thus given the
best reason why no democrat should
be trusted for even a first term in
such office.
If the democrats disown their own
officials and repudiate their records.
pray why should republicans, or good
citizens Of any party afiliation, vote
for democrats destined to forfeit cheir
own party's support?
