Thirty yea eo there was a man In Chicago who put on the uniform oi a policeman His keen eye and general knoRled4o Of the duties of a policeman advanced him to the office of detective sergeant at the Central station Being in he down town dis. trict he had an opportunity to meet business men
 One day a call came into the sta ton, requesting man to be sent over to an office building to ferret ont a mysterious rchhory which had happened during the nj .ht The man who was dispatched to the office was Patrick J Ryan and the man in the office was Roger C. Sullivan This was the chance first acquain- tance of these two men--now both are rated in the millionaire column. Mir Ryan landed here from a circfs trip of the California coast and is a lover of race horses But 10 go back to the rapid rise of Mir Ryan.
 AIr Sullivan in those days was a power in politics He has been dem ocratic national committeeman for many years and .ategested Ln many successful enterprises
 Nlr Ryan through his Sherlock Holmes intuition, cleared up the rob. bery for Mr Sullivan and then Mir Ryan became sleuthadvisor for Nlr Sullivan.
 About that time the Peoples Gas Light X Coke Company, was attempt. ing to seek g perpetual franchise in Chicago.
 Mir Sullivan and John F. Hopkins, who was mayor of Chicago at that time, saw an opportunity of making fortune. Backed by eastern capital, Messrs. Sullivan and Hopkins obtain cd control of rival gas company on the North Side-the ogden Gas Com pany.
 Gas was supplied to the homes on the north side by this company cheap CT than the Peoples rate and as a result a gas war followed
 Then came the time for the city council to pass upon the franchise sought by the Peoples Gas Company
 At the same time the Ogden Gas Company also asked for franchise.
 Tn those days, monopolies were just becoming popular. Officers of the Ogden company knew that before the rival gas company could obtain its franchise, the Ogden company must be brought in.
 And so it was for many millions Of dollars. MT Ryan had been given stocks in this company and when the Peoples Gas, Light & Coke Company

POLITICALLY SPEAKING.

Our Senator Kirby not alone got eff on the wrong foot at Washington, but he seems determined to pursue that policy. Perhaps disregarding that he is before the eye of the country as t tho representative of m intelligent ps1pfe In Arkansas, ha is making somewhat joke of his public service
 In addressing the senate in opposl. ten 70 a move locking tc she protec- ton of American interests, as had been advocated by President Wilson, Senator Kirby first addressed the sen ate as "my fellow citizens" which was a departure from the custom in the senate; and then when he realized his departure in that line changed it to:
 Gentlemen of the convention"
 Perhaps that is the insight to our United States senator's attitude iI ~<Vashington. He perhaps was tbi ,I . ing of the political conventis}ns he had addressed before, and oF the ones he would be called on to address in the future when he mast of necessity defend his unusue.. position at Wash ington or elsc he must be thrown aside.
 ~-& people of Arkansas in the gen srousness of their souls perhaps at tributed Kirby's first bull to stupidit, or to the Arkansan being In new and wider field than his ability had grasped' This second stand the Ar kansas senator has taken seems tc confirm the great mistake the state central committee made. but a mis take that can not be charged ur against the voters of the democratic party of Arkansas It wes Kirby or 8 republican in the senate and they took Kirby.

was totally destroyed. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by the
friction of the machine as sparks
from the separator dropped into =
straw stack, which with stack OF
flax was also burned. Threshing flax
was being carried on at the time.
The loss sustained by Mr.. Plummer
is placed at $1,000, and he carried no
insurance. Mr.. Plummer was en-
gagged in operating another machine
at Col. Welch's farm when the fire
occurred.-Rich Hill Review.
