 Sunday the sun shone clear and bright, and in the afternoon the Blue birds were out practicing on the ball grounds. They were a nimble lot at first, but fumbling the balls made their fingers bloody, and the next day the liniment stores did rushing business. There are many new faces this year, and the chances are good for winning team.
 An important improvement to be made in the burned district will be the large two-story building to be erected by John Henson $ Co.,, on their lot near the city dock. The structure will have a frontage on two streets and will be protected by concrete fire wall. The corner room on the main floor will be occupied by the owners and will be equipped with large fire proof vault in which, later, safe deposit boxes will be installed.

"Oh. no.; Richard is quite musical in

rington. After n fashion he Is a credit
to his native town. But we reafi1rm.
he is not a citizen. he is not eligible to
the high office. II he accepts, after
this arraignment, he Becomes nothing
more than an impertinent meddler.
What has he done for the people or
Herculaneum? Nothing. Who knows
anything about his character, his honor.
his worth? Nobody. To hold ones
franchise as a citizen does not make
that person a citizen In the honest
sense of the word. Let Mr.. War
rington live among us half a doz-
en- years, and then we will see. The
senator, who is not without some wis
dom and experience, will doubtless
withdraw this abortive candidate. It's
the only logical thing he can do. We
dare say hat the dramatist accepted
the honor with but n end IN view; to
find some material for a new play. But
Herculaneum declines to be so honored.
He is legally, but not morally, a citizen.
He is a meddler, n Herculaneum Is
already too well supplied with med
dlers. Do the wise thing, Mr.. Warning
ton; withdraw. Otherwise our profit
will be laughter and rfdicule; for the
republican party can e hope TO win
under such equivocaf leadership. That's
all We hav to say"
Warrington, who had been reading
the article aloud, grinned and thrust
the paper into his pocket.

c~uriously.

"Hurrah!" cried Kate, clapping her
hands. She caught Patty in her arms,
and the two waltzed around the dock
The two men shook hands, and pres
emily all four were reading their pri-
vate letters. Warrington received but
one. 1t was a brief note from the
senator, PAY no attention to Times

Write me at once, and I'll start the

Patty, where do you write letters?"
he asked. He called her Patty quite
naturally. Patty was is no wise Of

warrington found the desk. Upon it
lay a tablet. He wrote hurriedly:

now TO the last ditch"
AS he reread 1t. he observed a blur
IN the grain OF the paper. On closer
inspection he saw that it was a water
mark. He had seen one similar, but
where? His heart began humping his
ribs. He produced the inevitable let
ter. The water mark was identical.
He even laid the letter unfolded on
the tablet. 1t fitted exactly.

Patty had never written him a single

COURT IN BAD MESS

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-An acute
situation developed in the career of
the court of commerce today as re-
cult of their decision turning down the
order of the interstate commerce
commission granting lower mountain
rates to intermountain cites. The
talk of abolisning the court, move
ment so warmly advocated by repre-
sentative Sims of Tennessee, recently,
is again rife at the national capital.
Sims followers point to the repeated
action of the commerce court in over
ruling the commission, resulting in
frustrating for ten years the fight
on the part of interior and western
cities for lower railroad rates
