MARK TWAIN, SEWARD

Samuel Clemens is the name of a Seward man who subscribed for the Gateway last night. He first learned that he war namesake of the inn mortal Mark Twain while he was liv- ing in his mother country, England, and he learned it in way that was remarkable. One night he had been reading a book b,v Mark Twain in a public library and having finished it he decided to get another and take it home. The book he chose was "The Innocents Abroad. When he signed up for it the person in charge of the library books thought he had made some mistake when after the name of the book he signed the real name of the man who wrote it.

GERMANS EyACUATE TOWNS

ANTWERP, Sept. 19-The cities of Termonde ana Londerzeee have been evacuated by the Germans for the first time since the Belgian government moved from Brus ses These cities are northwest of Brussels and some twenty miles south of this city, The opinion is that the
 German troops have been taken from them to reinforce the armies which are now engaged in the supendouS bat
 tie which is raging the banks of the river Asne Their removal will weaken undoubtedly the force that mask ing this city In the meantime further German reinforce ments are said to be marching through Belgian territory towards the French border and that the Germans are about to throw all their strength against the allied forces on the field where the conflict is raging is certain.

There is enough known to say that when the survivors of the expedition reach Ottawa some serious allegations will be made as to the conduct of the eader of the expedition, Steffanson. It was whispered around Nome that Steffanson left the Karluk because of his inability to agree with the other members of the expedition. Other whispers have also been passed around. The location of Steffanson himself at present is not known.

MORE CHILDREN AT
 SCHOOL HERE NOW
Attendance Better Than That of Last
 Year and Will Be Better Still

Judge Curtis Morford declares every thing to be most satisfactory and pleasant and promising this year in the educational way.

MERELY COMMENT


Unless George Perkins skedaddIes
out of the Bull Moose party we'll bet
Gary gets Hearst to join the steel
trusts political bunch.
Gary and Hearst trot in the same
sassiety set.
The rumor now is that Comerford
is out of the senatorial race. Good, if
true.
That Job of saving Carl Person is
big enough for man to tackle with
out messing in politics at the same
time.
Clearing Carl Person is more inn
portant than going to Washington.
For Persons good as we'll as for his
own, Comerford ought to get out of
one thing or the other.
Well, Kermit is married. Where's
Teddy going next?
We don't see how he holds his Job
on the Outlook when away from his
desk so much.
If Gov. Dunno sets on that sena-
torial egg too long it may go rotten
on him. -.
If he has candidate against Roger,
why not trot him out?
The Journal still wants subways,
and wants 'em now. But where,
John? And why?
Why is everybody so anxious to
blow that traction jackpot that is pill
ing up for the city?
Is it because the pot is getting so
big that some day the town may
have enough to take over the street
railway system?
King ALI gave Teddy the glad hand
in Spain-yet Teddy made that fam
Gus charge up San Juan hill, and tried
to catch the Spaniards with his hands.
And the coIored troops fought
nobly.

POLITICAL DoINGS


Hearst = Harrison Democrats ex-
tended the olive branch to the SuIli-
van Democrats yesterday. The H.-H.
faction met to plan the county ticket,
and when Chris McGuTn undertook
to say something against Roger Sui
Ivan a dozen men sprang up in pro-
test.
A harmony slate was tentatively
discussed. If it goes through it will
consist of the following: Michael
thinner for president County Board,
Bob Sweitzer for county clerk, Frank
]. Walsh for Criminal Court clerk,
Aid. Jimmy Bowler for sheriff, John
A. Cervenka for Probate Court clerk,
and E. ]. Tobin for county superin-
tendent of schools.
1t is reported that the H.-H. bunch
will let Bartzen and Nowak of the
County Board go into the ash heap if
the Sullivan men allow Burg, Ma
loney ct al. to go the same way.
Jim McInerney, prosecuting attor-
ney, seems awfully afraid of the abil-
ity of the H.-H. bunch to come back
next spring. 1t is reported that he is
already planning to get from under
and run for clerk Of the Appellate
Court
John j. Hickey, deputy sheriff, who
has the support of the Sullivan fac
ton, was in the field first for that job,
and may put a crimp in McInerney's
plans. -...-
SIX HAVE BEEN HIT
Deputy sheriffs obtained service on
only six men, charged with taxdodg-
ing, yesterday. Fffty-one others
seemed to have crawled into their
holes and disappeared.
Those served we're: julius Rosen-
valid, David R. Forgan, D. F. Brem-
ner, Jr., F. S. Sherman, D. B. Jones
and Charles G.. Adsit.
