A SENATOR IS .SUBPOENAED

Lee O'Nel Brown, alleged to have

with bribery.
Brown is accused of handling the

CHICAGO, May 25-A sensational
q turn was given the Lee O'Nel
~ Brown alleged bribery trial here
late today when it became known an
attempt was made during a noon re-
cess TO bUrglariZe Judge McSurety'S
courtroom IN the criminal court build
ing. A lock on the main door had
been damned so badly it was neces-
sary to remove it before the door could
be reopeneG- Whoever attempted to
secure access to important papers by
breaking into the courtroom had ap-
parently been frightened away by at
taches of the building.
Only a Water Haul.
Judge McSurety, States Attorney
Wayman and assistants, lawyers for
the defense, court stenographers and
newspaper men were all at lunch when
the attempt was made. When he was
informed of the matter, States Attor-
ney Wayman said he does not take to
court With him the alleged confessions
made by Representatives H J. G. Breck-
meyer and Michael S Link, the con-
tents of which have been kept a close
secret
Against the objections Of States At
torney Wayman, Attorney Forrest for
the defense this afternoon secured .
continuance of the hearing until ,
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Attorney
Forrest said he desired time to look up
federal authorities on the election OF
United States senators and congress-
men.
Attorney Forrest spent the entire
day in presenting his contentious that
the criminal courts of Cook county
have not jurisdiction to try the brib-
cry case, as he alleges election OF fed
eral senators is controlled by federal
laws.
In this connection Attorney Forrest
said in part: 'The legislators of the
state of Illinois meet in general as
sembly as federal officers to elect a
United States senator.
Are Federal Officers.
"This is so because about 1856 Con-
greSs passed Numerous laws regulating
elections to the federal House Of Rep

officers of election federal officers for
that purpose.
"The theory of this indictment Is
that a state representative when he
acts in an assembly of the legislature
is a representative of the state of IL

Cook county appoint the Chicago South
Park commissioners. but the courts
have held the judges do not make ap-

make the appointments unless they

IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW
Queer Notions Hold by People Of
Different Countries Regard
Ing tho Bow.

In many countries the rainbow is
spoken of as being great bent pump
or siphon tube, drawing water from
the earth by mechanical means. In
parts of Russia, in the Don country,
and also in Moscow and vicinity, 1t
Is known by a name which is eQuiva-
lent to the bent waterbipe." In
nearly all Slavonic diaAets 1t is
known by terms signifying 'the cloud
siphon," and in Hungary, 1t is tho
pump" "Noah's pump" and Gods
pump" Tho Malayan nStives call 1t
by the same name that they do their
manded water cobra. only that they
add "boba" (meaning double-headed) [,
the equivalent In our language being
"the double-headed wal er-snake."
They tell you that the bow is real
thing of life, that It drinks with its
two mouths, and that the water is
transferred to the clouds through an
opening In the upper side Of the CEN
ire of the great arch. In the province
of Charkav, Russia. the rainbow is
said to drain the wells, and to prevent
this many are provided with heavy,
tighthtting stone platforms.

Of the cases where It IL easier to ap-

Those who believe that by their

the movement for direct popular prf

In its essence, this Is q movement to
make the government more demo

and needs Of the people as a whole.

LECTURE COURSE
AN ASSURED SUCCESS
First Number is Eldredge the
Impersonator, Wednesday,
Oct. IL.

If you have not already secured
your tickets to the lecture course
it's high time you were doing so, for
they are selling at the rate that
has already made certain the sue
cess of the undertaking. Seats
may be reserved now for the en-
tire season. Each season ticket is
good for five admissions and costs
Stag. The five admissions may
be used one each night or the en-
tire five at once, at the pleasure of
the holder. Season tickets for
children, 75c. Tickets for a sin
gle performance will be sold for CSC,
children csc. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to explain the season ticket is
the cheaper by far in the long
run"
The first number of the course
will be Wednesday, Oct. I2th,
when Gilbert Eldredge, the imper-
senator, makes his appearance.
Some of US have been fortunate
enough to hear this entertainer,
but for the benefit of others we
quote here what the Washington
Globe says of him;
"Mr. Gilbert A. Eldredge has on
the stage to-day but very few con-
temporaries who have the ability
of presenting an evenings enter
talnmcnt as interesting and in
such vastly varying casts of char
acter as does he. Every number
was feature of he entertainment
If Mr.. Eldredge ever visits this
city again there is no question but
he will need to appear in the larg-
est house to accommodate the
great number that will be eager to
attend his entertainment"
Whatever profits may accrue
from the enterprise will go to the
high school library fund, so that
when you buy tickets you have
the satisfaction OF helping a
worthy and needy cause as well
as helping to put through the only
plan that will give entertainment
of class to town of Jasper's size.

CELEBRATED THEIR
GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. 3. Dearborn
Finished Half Century Of
Welded Life Last
Friday.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Deardorff of
this city celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary last Friday,
or rather it was celebrated for
them by about thirty of their rel
atives, for they knew nothing of
the plans for the event until the
crowd had arrived and taken pos
session of the place.
On Thursday Mr.. and Mrs.
Dearborn were persuaded to 90
out in the country west of town to
spend the day with their daughter,
Mrs. Chas. Lilly. When sthey re-
turned home the following morn
ing they found all the guest as
sembled and a feast spread.
After dinner fine clock, gold
headed cane and other appropri-
ate gifts from the company were
presented the host and hostess by
John Spaid witha short speech,
and the rest of the day was spent
in pleasant, informal reunion.
Besides a score of Jasper rela-
tives, the following relatives from
out of town we're present: Mr.. and
Mrs. R. E. Easement and Mrs.
Oliver Starck of Lamar; Mrs. ]. K.
McCrory, Mrs. John Naremore and
daughter. Marie, Mrs. John Abrams,
of Carthage.
w. E. Dearborn and Ann Eliza
(Smith) Dearborn were married on
Sept re, 1860. near Winfield, Vir-
ginia, in what is now West Virginia.
They lived there then till 1867,
when they removedto Carroll coun
ty. Missouri, where they spent 10
years, coming to Barton county
ana loCatlng on farm S miles
northwest Of Jasper. Twelve years
ago they moved to the residence
property they now occupy in this
city.
In all, twelve children have
been born to them, of whom seven
are now living, namely: Marsh,

most of his measures and
positions and 1 think that this has
been markedly the case as regards
direct primary nominations. / know
that many honest and sincere men
are on principle opposed to Governor
Hughes on this point, and know also
that the proposed reform will very
possibly accomplish less than its ex.
treme advocates expect; while l am
we'll aware, as OF course all thinking
men must be, that the worth of any
such measure in the last resort de-
ponds upon the character of the vot-
ers, and that no patent device will
ever secure good government unless
the people themselves devote sufl-
cient energy, time, and judgment to
make the device work. Finally, l
freely admit that here and there,
whore the principle of direct nomina-
tons has been applied in too crude
shape or wrongheadedly, It has, while
abolishing certain evils, produced Or
accumulated others-in certain cases,
for instance, putting a premium upon
the lavish expenditure of money.
But while freely admit all this, I
nevertheless feel, in the first place,
that on the fundamental issue of di.
rect primary nominations the Cover
nor is right, and, in the second place,
that, as the measure finally came up
for action In the state legislature, 1t
was wellnigh free from all objections
save those Of the men who object to
1t because they are fundamentally op-
posed to any change whatever in the
desired direction. The bill provided
only for direct popular action in the
primaries in relatively small geo
graphical and political communities,
thereby making the experiment first
where there was least liability to Sc
rious objection. and avoiding or defer
ring the task of dealing with those big
communities where the difficulties and
dangers to be overcome would be
greatest. Moreover, while guarantee
Ing full liberty of individual action, 1t
also provided for the easy mainte-
nance Of party organization, and
thereby avoided some very real dan
gers-among them that of encourag-
Ing the use Of masses Of the minority
party in any given district to dictate
the actions OF the majority party. In
other words. the proposed bill, while
1t marked very real step In advance,
was tentatively and cautiously fran.
cd. and provided all possible safe
guards against abuses. If in practice
n had failed to work in any particu.
lar, there would have been no possible
