The popular idea of a referee, no
matter If he happens to govern prize
fights, baseball, bicycling or any other
sport, was forcibly impressed on Wal
ter Bardgett, referee of the bicycle race
at the Velodrome. After the races had
been completed one Sunday recently,
Mr.. B%ardgett, who has suffered much
adverse criticism from some of the rid
ers, took his ~3-year-old nephew, also
named Walter Bardgett, to a friends
house for diner.
During the meal the host asked young
Walter IL he was going to emulate his
uncle and be a referee when he grew
up.
No" replied the boy d~isdainfully,
Tn going to be a man."
Everyone who knows Sergeant Such
ard, of the Fourth Precinct, pro-
nounce him a born capitalist. Some
go so far as to say that IL he hadn't
had such a profound sense of public
duty, which made a policeman of him,
it hiSnt nave pCNh thC Nile VI 49,
Street today.
Be that as it may, the sergeant has
dealt more than a little in real estate,
and quite a few stories are told of his
shrewdness. AT one time when a GER
tain brand of medicine sailing under
the flag of Boston Pills" was being
extensively advertised. Suchard was
approached by an agent of the COM
pany and agreed to lease the fence
surrounding his lot for an advertise
ment. The lease expired In time and
Sergeant Suchard decided to emove
the ad. But the paint required to
cover 1t over would cost money, so. in
stead of removing the words Boston
Pills" the worthy policeman armed
himself with a hammer and knocked
off the boards containing the ad. Then
he nailed them back again, but not in
the same order, and the next person
to pass by read the ~well-known
phrase, Post no Bills"
A friend tells the following story
about John Lynn, a local lawyer: Zone
night while John was sitting in the
dining-room enjoying a smoke after
dinner the servant. who could not
speak much English, came in, and
walking up to him said: Marry me?"
John looked at her in surprise, and she
repeated: you marry me?' He then
began to look at it as a joke and told
the girl to go up and tell his mother
about it, which she die. In a few
minutes his mother came down and
explained that the girl did not want to
marry him but hat she thought that
he could marry her to her sweetheart
because he was a lawyer. John after
ward admitted that the girl had him
scared for a while.

|. C. STRIKERS UNEASY
DEMAND THAT FEDERATION PUT
AN END TO STRUGGLE.
Charges Are Made That Those Who
Called WaIkout Acted With
Undue Haste.

Chicago, Oct 23-Members OF
unions involved in the shopmen's
strike on the Illinois Central are be-
coming restless and at various points
have demanded that officers of the
system federation do something to end
the struggle.
The persistence of these demands
has placed the officers on the defens-
i've. w. F. McCreary IF Paducah,
chairman of the system federation, en-
deavored to pacify the strikers of that
the employees in the train service
would strike in sympathy
After the meeting several OF the
strikers objected to McCreary making
such claims, as the officers of the four
brotherhoods Of railroad employees
have given instructions to the mem
bers employed on the Illinois Central
to respect their contracts with the
company.
Reports from every strike-bound
shop on the Illinois Central system
state that the strikers are anxiousIy
awaiting the end of the strike They
have begun to realize, they say, that
mistake was made in ordering the
walkOut while they were in the act OF
taking a vote as to whether or not
they should strike. This has placed
them in an unfortunate position, and
charges Of undue haste on the part OF
those who called the strike are being
made
1t was said that the strike will be
brought up in the American Fedora
ton Of Labor convention in Atlanta
next month, providing the struggle is
still on

80 lucy moved
from Indiana to Iowa directly after
their marriage and lived there until
1885. At that time the family came
to Caldwell and for a year conducted
the Haskell Hotel in this pioneer
town, moving from the hotel to
ranch on the Boise river three miles
west of Caldwell, where they lived
until 1892. In that year they went
to Spokane, Wash, living there with
four of their daughters for five
years. Having a desire to visit the
old homes in Iowa and Indiana, they
journeyed eastward and spent three
years visiting their daughter, Mrs.
]. w. Russell of Oskaloosa, Iowa and
with old friends and relatives.
During this visit Mrs. Dorman con-
tractod rheumatism and her love and
desire for sunny Idaho and her only
son were too strong to keep her in
her old home. Coming to Caldwell
one year ago, she seemed to improve
in health. Friends and relatives re-
joiced at her improvement, but fate
was against her and she was stricken
down with paralysis in February.
She never regained her speech and
her suffering was intense until death
called her. She had another stroke
