Roosevelt Penrose
 Controversy Means
 Democratic Triumph

Chicago, Aug. 23-Declaring that the appointment of George B. Cortelyou as head of the Republican national campaign in 1904 was ia questionable move,'' and that the. Roosevelt Pen rose controversy "is a bubble that in- licateS the need of a thorough dredg- ing,'' Thomas P. Gore, blind Senator from Oklahoma, today, said that the disclosures will result in the election of Woodrow Wilson,"
 When Cortelyou was chosen to run the campaign" said Gore. The was secretary of commerce and labor and had more inside information regarding the deeds and misdeeds of corpora tions than any other man. He could have, if he would. used this informa ton as an incentive to big campaign contributions.
 ."This charge was made at the time of his appointment. The present in- vestigation is tending to confirm this charge rather deny it and the disclos- ures being made before the Senate committee will result in the election of woodrow Wilson by a combination of Democratic and Republican progress sive VoteS.''

EXCITING CHASE
 IN STATE STREET HAS FUNNY ENDING

The cry of "stop thief'' rang out in State street about 12:30 this afternoon, and a spawnbroker of that thorough fare was seen chasing a burly negro up State street toward Main. The pursuer was gaining but none of the crowd offered to stop the negro. In stead there were loud cries of encour- agement for the pawnbroker such as "Go get him. Some speed, old boy"
 The negro kept few feet away from his pursuer and finally vanished in Banks livery stable in Broad street. The pawnbroker stayed outside for a few minutes and when a negro emerg- ed the white man gave chase. Again there was a pursuit race such as they show in the moving picture films, but after an exciting dash the negro was captured and found to be a different man than the first colored gentleman.
 The pawnbroker decided to try his luck again, and soon he saw another black man coming from the direction of the stable. The white man ran after the negro under the adlniring gaze of another crowd. When the quarry was caught it was found that he was not the man wanted. Mu- tual apologies were offered and ac- cepted. Then the pawnbrpker gave 1t up. He said the first negro had broken a pane of glass in the State street store.

About the Ermine.


The ermine is a queer animal. 1t is
one thing in winter and another thing
In summer. That is a strange state
ment, but 1t Is true. In winter the anil
mails fur is as white as snow. and 1t
Is called the ermine; in summer its
fur turns reddish brown on the upper
part of the body and a light yellow on
the lower part, and 1t is then known
as the stoat. This change is familiar
to, naturalists, but not to ordinary peo-
pie, and the ermine and the stoat are
therefore generally thought to be dis
tinct animals.
The fur of the ermine is Of great
value. particularly for use in court
robes. There was so great demand
for it when the preparations were max
ing for the coronation of King Ed
ward OF England that the price went
up to an almost fabulous sum.
The animal is so cunning in its ways
that It is almost as hard to catch as It
is to "catch weasel asleep" In fact,
about the only way to catch it is to
mark its course from its home and
then strew mud in its pathway. 1t is
said that when the dainty, fastidious
little animal reaches the point where
the mud is it will lie down and submit
to capture rather than smirch one Of
its snow white hairs.

AM Earthauake Ineident.

An amusing incident occurred during
the earthquake which recently passed
over southern Germany. At Attach, in
the Rhine valley, the owner. of a
house was awakened by the earth
quake just in time to see a.huge ward
robe tottering on its pedestal. The
owner at once came to the conclusion
that thief was concealed in the ward
robe and called to his son to come with
a revolver. A council of war was held,
and as a summons to the thief to come
forth produced no effect 1t was decided
to drive him out with the revolver. A
number Of shots were fred into the
wardrobe, and when the revolver was
empty and the thief had given no sign
the wardrobe was opened. All that
was found, however, were the Sun
day garments of the owner and his SON
riddled with bullet holes.
