NEW AMMUNITION,
BY MILTON w. ToWNE.

ciationl
One day shortly after the close OF
the American civil war small fleet Of
United States wooden men-of- war was
lying at anchor In the harbor Of Cher
bourg. 1t was gala day. for Napo.
leon ILL.,. then emperor Of France. and
the Empress Eugene were in Cher
bourg and had accepted al invitation
from the admiral to visit his flagship
But before doing 50 the imperial cou.
pie inspected French man-of-war.
Now. it so happened that a mess cook
on board the French ship. the Esper-
ance, was wholly unmindfuI Of the
important ceremony that was about to
take place. Indeed. his captain had
not considered it necessary to inform
him. 1t would have been better had
he done so. His failure resulted In a
bitter feeling between the crews of the
Esperance and the flagship Of the
American admiral.
Not knowing that the emperor and
empress were about to come aboard
the Esperance, Francois, little bit Of
a sawed off Frenchman, with q tiny
goatee and mustache to match, was
cleaning knives. forks and spoons on
the gun deck.
But, suddenly locking up. he saw
Lieutenant Du Bots coming from the
other end of the vessel. Francois
knew by the bells that struck at the
time that the lieutenant was going of
duty and would 60. as was his custom.
to his cabin for change of uniform.
To reach his cabin he would be obliged
to pass the point where the cook sat
securing. Francois. not caring to in
cur an officers displeasure for per-
forming his mental duty on deck, bur-
r1edly threw the table articles into q
mess pot, stepped to the muzzle Of a
the wooden plug kept in the mouths Of
cannon when not in use-thrust in the
mess kit and put the hampton back in
its place. When the lieutenant came
by Francois was standing respectfully
at attention.
FRANCOIS" said the officer, bring
some biscuits and a glass Of wine to
my cabin"
Eyes, Monsieur lie Lieutenant"
"Well, hurry. have but little time
before the ceremony takes place."
At the word ceremony Francois took
fright. Ceremony meant salutes. He
did not wish to leave the mess kit in
the gun for fear the latter would be
required for saluting purposes and the
kit would be lost. But the lieutenant
glared at him, and he dare not delay.
He went below, carried the biscuit to
Lieutenant Du Bots cabin. and was
about to hurry back on deck when
another officer, seeing him 60 by his
open door, directed him to bring him
glass Of wine. Aud so it was that
the little cook was kept hurrying to do
!; the bidding of one person after an
other till something happened.
The officer of the deck, seeing a
crowd gathering at the dock, raised his
glasses and, after a moments inspec-
ton. cried out. 1.-THE emperor is CON-

|ment was waived when immunity was
offered and later granted, because
Holstlaw was a material witness.
Before going to the grand jury
room, Holstlaw made a preliminary
statement to States Attorney Burke
in the presence of his attorney. This
statement was as follows:
I'm making the statements to the
Sangamon county grand jury regard
ing the payment of money to secure
the contract for furniture and for the
purpose of electing VIM. Lorimer
United States senator, I have been
governed by the firm belief that my
actions in this matter have been re-
prehensible, and in this connection l
offer no defense. l have, however,
determined to make such reparation
as is within my power and the only
means by which I can do this 1t
seems to me, is by fully and honestly
stating what l know about these
transactions.
II voted for VIM. Lorimer for Unit
cd States senator and received there
for $4,000. l also received the $|Oo
which was given me without explain
alton with the statement that 1t was
coming to me. l was promised $l,5OO
for my connection with the letting OF
the furniture contract"
Senator HolstlaW's confession, re-
sulting in the indictment of Senator
Broderick of Chicago, is the fourth
confession obtained since the expo
sure of the alleged Lorimer bribery
scandal on April 30th last.
The first confession was made by
Representative Charles A. White, of
OFallon, ILL.,, who declared that ne
had received $4,000 from Lee O'Neli
Browne for his vote for Lorimer and
5000 as his share of the legislative
Jackpot"
Although stimatized as blackmailer
by the men whose names he had in.
volved, Whites confession resulted
in a grand jury investigation In Cook
and Sangamon counties. In the COOK
county grand jury room on May ..
Whites confession was substantiated
by Representative H. ]. G. Becke'
meyer of Carlisle, III.
This second confession resulted in
three indictments in connection with
the Lorimer care. These were:
Lee O'Neil Browne, leader of the
democrats in the legislature OF IT.
tawa, ILL.,, on a charge of bribery.
Representative Robert E. Wilson,
democrat, on a perjury charge.
Representative Michael S. Link OF
Mitchell, ILL.,, democrat, charged with
perjury.

Tho Arch.

The consensus of opinion among the
learned is to the effect that the arch
was invented by the Romans. Some
claim that Archimedes of Sicily was
the inventor. while there are others
who would make it to be of Etrurian
origin, but there can be no doubt about
the fact that the Romans were the
first to apply the principle to archi-
lecture. The earliest instance Of its
use Is in the case Of the Cloaca Max
ina. or Great sewer. of Rome. built
about 58e B. c. by the first Of the Tar
uuin line of kings. a work which is re-
garded by the historians as being one
of the most stupendous monuments OF
antiquity. Built entirely without &C.
ment. it is still doing duty after a
service Of almost twenty-five centuries

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Do You Take Enough to Keep Your
Artariss In Condition.

% You Take Enough to Keep Your
Arteries In Condition.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson, in criticising
the different fads Of exercise In Out
ing, says:
1.-THE worst error Of exercise, the
most dangerous fad Of physical cul-
ture, is not to take enough Of 1t and
to sheer at every form of it that does
not bear the dollar mark. BY one OF
those cynical poetic justices Of nature
the very men who denounce all phys
zeal culture and recreation as fads are
those who pay the heaviest personal
penalty for this delusion. They use the
vigor they have gained in early youth
in natures open air school to chain
themselves to the desk, to bury them
selves in dungeon-like Offices or a1rless
Workrooms twelve or fourteen hours a
day. They feel fine and are sure they
are going to live to be hundred. but
one day. to their astonishment. little
artery whose coat has been hardened
for twenty years unnoticed becomes
so brittle that it snaps suddenly. and
down they 60 with stroke OF paraly-
sis, like winged duck. 1t is never
safe to jeer at the gods, whether the
imaginary ones Of Olympus or the Eaal
ones of modern science.
1.-THE men who jeer loudest at phys
ical culture and who sarcastically adj
wise college and high school students,
ambitious for gymnasia or athletic
fields, to go and git bucksaw and
cord Of wood or Il hoe and potato
patch and develop their muscles like
did when l was boy are the very
ones who die suddenly when they
should be in their prime for lack OF
exercise and open air recreation. 1t Is
really an astonishing thing how many
giants of industry and transportation.
particularly executive railroad men,
die CT suddenly 60 to pieces between
fifty and sixty years of age. 1t is a
common saying in railroad circles that
a big general superintendent or de-
partment chief will seldom live beyond
forty-eight to fifty-five years of age.
Many break down before that"

Minot Reporter: A long time ago
some shrewd philosopher coined the
phrase Money makes the mare 60"
It's aptitude has often been amply
demonstrated and right now the mare
that is expected to draw the sulky OF
the insurgent wing of the state re-
publican party under the wire on
June 20, is acting bad at the post
and those in charge of the campaign
claim that the only thing that will
get her to go her gait and finish eth
er show, place or win, is money and
lots of it.
This is the substance Of one of the
most interesting bits of political Cos
sip that has been heard in this city
for some time, which is going the
rounds of the town today and is the
subject of a good deal of comment
from the stalwarts in this city who
claim to be in touch with the state
campaign.
The story is that the insurgent cam
paign committee has leveled it's trib.
ute of cash on the candidates. Mar.
ed to loosen up their belts to the ex'
tent of $4,000, and Attorney General
Miller is down to come across with
$500. The candidates have heard the
decision Of the campaign committee
with some little surprise, it is alleged
and the white winged dove of peace
which is always in considerable
state of agitation when in the vicin
ity of the insurgent camp is flying
pretty high and it's circle even wild
ems as it wheels in flight.
The Messrs Gronna and Marshall
are said to consider the demands OF
the committee excessive, of if no,
excessive they feel that if it is nee
essary to spend that much money fol
the good of the cause they themselves
would like to be sure that it is dis
pensed with due regard to effective
ness. In other words they would like
