Washington, July 2. Congressman Jim" Mann of Chicago, Republican leader in the lower branch of Con gress, is being groomed by Republican leaders in Washington for the presi dential nomination in 1910, accord ing to gossip in the cloak rooms. In the event that the G. O. I. makes anv inroads at the coming fall election, Congressman Mann has told lis friends that he will begin his campaign for the nomination two years hence. If the Democrats re leet the same number of Congress men and Senators that are now sitting in these two law-making branches, the Chicago statesman will refuse to make the race. But "Congressman Jim," as he is called by his friends, has had his weather eye on the political situa- tion for a long time. His lightning rods were up two years ago, but they were not struck. fhe Republicans here say Roosevelt will be the Bull Moose nominee, if he lives, ai'd Congressman Mann dislikes the Colonel s much ns the Colonel does the Republican party The lllinoisan will be backed by the mighty influence of the House Republican organization, anil the leaders believe he is the one man who can defeat Roosevelt,' should the Colonel decide to try and land the nomination as a Republican It is said that both radicals and conservatives in the Republican party will be for Mann.

I'pon his arrival there he found his wife almost prostrated, and n large assemblage of neighboring women arnestly engaged in the double duty of ministering to the little sufferer, and endeavoring to soothe the mother. The little boy had wandered away while Mrs. Bryant was engaged with her household diutes, and it was not until she heard his screams that she became aware of his depart lire . Hurrying to the stable in the rear of the home she found the child struggling helplessly on the ground, almost unconscious. His features were distorted and he appeared to be suffering greatly. He was but a few feet away from where a mule belonging to Mr. Bryant was standing tied, and the mother realized at once that the child had been kicked by the long eared prince of Missouri. Picking up the lad she hurried into the house with him and summoned Mr. Bryant and he called in Dr. Rosenthal. The child was kicked in the ab dominal regions, but not seriously hurt. In passing the mule, the boy touched the animal accidentally and tte mule countered.

Ill health is given as the cause of the t.-agedy by his relatives. The wife of the dead man saw Mr. Maeke as he stepped upon the porch of his home. He complained of feeling ill and stated that it would be best for everyone if he could get out of the way. Mrs. Maeke tried to console him, and was under the impression that she had improved his spirits, when he turned and walked away from her. He made no other comment but went direct to the stable. A moment later a shot rang out, anil Mrs. Maeke hastened to the scene. When she reached the Mnhlc she found him lying in a pile off straw with a revolver clutched in his hand. Death apparently had been instantaneous. Maeke came to Cape Girardeau from Jackson about six years ago. He was a member of the police for several yeurs. About eighteen months ago he left the department and hail not been regularly employed since that time. A short time ago he accepted a position in the C. G. & N. shops, but gave up that for a place in the ball bat factory in North Cape. He did not continue there but a short time, and since then had worked but very little.

The President compared the oppo sition to the anti-trust bills to (he op position which preceded the passage of the currency bill. lie said he conjectured that probably the objec tions to both bills resulted from fail ure of the opponents of the measured to read the bills. Morgan listened to the Senate debate for a while and then motored to the railway station and took a train for New York. After visiting the t 'ongn ssional Library, Morgan went to the Senate side of the Capitol, while he inquired the way to the Senator's gallery.
