JOE LEITER'S LUCK
L06t 968,000 at Roulette, but Came
Away $7,000 Winner.
Washington Post.
"It has not been so long since Joe
Loiter struck the town or Sheridan,
Wvo., where he was scheduled to put in
a few hours," said H. P. Courtney of
Chicago, at the Raleigh.
"Among the other public utilities of
Sheridan was an open gaming establish
ment which was organized for business
865 days in the year. You will remem
ber what Cy Warman said of a Colorado
town: It day all day in the daytime
and there js no night in Crejad*' That
is about the kind of a town Sheridan
was. On the evening of his arrival
?er
"oung Leiter, accompanied, by the cash
of the national bank, sauntered into
the local Monte Carlo and began play
ing the wheel, the cashier having first
told the proprietor ihat he would be re
sponsible for anything his plunger
friend might lose.
"At the outset Leiter's luck was vil
lainously bad. He lost one big bet
after another until his indebtedness was
away up in the tens of thousands. Still
he played on as serene and good-nat
ured as tho he were winning, but it
seemed
impossibleshowed
for him
tt
recoup.
Finall the tab tha he was
$50,000 loser, and still his nerve did
not forsake him. Long before that the
limit had been taken off, for the pro-
{osings
jrietor was as game as the player. The
kept mounting up, and when the
$60,000 mark had been reached some of
the proprietor's friends suggested that
it would be a good idea to break up the
game, even if it involved shooting out
the lights.
"This was vetoed and the play went
on. Not until Joe Leiter was loser to
the extent of $68,000 did the tide turn,
and then, as sure as I am a living man,
he began winning in a steady streak
that knew no change until he quit the
game in the gray hours of the dawn not
only with chips enough to square his in
debtedness, but with $7,000 profit. The
owner of the place was glad to see him
go, for had he continued the bank
would surely have 'gone broke.'
IMPORTS MACHINERY
large Falling Off of All Kinds, Partic
ularly in Textile Equipment.
Boston Transcript.
This city is losing ground as a port of
fmportations
ntry for machinery. In five years the
of machinery of all kinds
have decreased 50 per cent. During the
same period the importation of machin
ery thru New York increased 20 per
cent and that thru Philadelphia 20 per
cent. Baltimore shared the same fate
as Boston, losing about one-half of her
customary machinery imports. Compar
ing the valuations for the whole coun
try it appears that last year's import
of machinery is 20 per cent less than
that of 1900. In the face of a general
decrease both New York and Philadel
phia have gained while Boston and Bal
timore have lost enormously.
It is principally in textile machinery
that Boston has lost, but her loss indi
cates a gam for the domestic manufac
turers. At the present time the domes
tic demand for cotton machinery can be
met by the domestic manufacturers, as
a rule. Moreover, the English manu
facturers, from whom most of the im
ported machinery is bought, have such
a heavy demand upon them from Eng
lish cotton spinners that they cannot
take as many American orders as they
did five years ago. They have at least
6,000,000 English spindles more to pro
vide for than they had then, and find it
harder to compete on the American
market, where they are handicapped by
a 45 per cent duty. Most of the best
features of# the English machine are
now embodied in the American make,
and the latter meets the requirements
of the American mill. Whatever the
causes for the declirfe in imports it is
certain that the larger American textile
machinery manufacturers are doing a
heavy business at the present time,
many of them having orders for six
months ahead.
Fanning and Washington islands in the Pa

latter given with great success only
a month ago by this same club. The
principal members of the club also as
sisted in the performance of "Verm
landingaine" at the Auditorium last
winter, which met with greater success
than probably any Swedish play ever
given here.
The dramatic club has since its or
ganization two months ago played sev
eral times to big houses in St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
The members of the club are Hialmar
Nilsson, manager and director George
Swanson, Otto Anderson, Edward Ver
non, Herman Tidholm, Oscar Ander
son, the celebrated Swedish tenor singer
of St. Paul Mrs. Ingeborg Ericsson, a
gifted actress and authoress: Mrs. Aug
usta Linde, Miss Mimmie Forsberg of
St. Paul, pupil of the royal Swedish
theater at Stocholm Miss Mathilda
Tigerhjelm, Miss Christine Nilsson, the
talented pianist of the Skovgaard Con
cert company, and others.
Tickets will be on sale Thursday
morning at the box office.
ENJOYMENT AS A VIRTUE
The Doctrine of Human Happiness as
Opposed to Renunciation.
Vernon Lee in North American Review.
All pessimism, all asceticism, is
founded upon the existence of what
Tolstoy calls the "illusory thirst for
enjoyment." Now, however numerous
the cases where enjoyment proves im
possible or mischievous, the continued
existence of the human race shows that,
ninety-nine times out of a hundred nei
ther enjoyment nor the thirst for it is
illusory, but, on the contrary, a genu
ine advantage, making subsequent en
joyment not less, but more, possible by
perfecting the sensibilities. The healthy
activity of the whole individual, with
its inevitable hierarchy of impulses,
both secures pleasure and forestalls
cloying, and, by its inclusion of intel
lectual and sympathetic interests, its
subordination of others to these, it dk
minishes conflict with others quite as
effectually as does Tolstoy's'' Renuncia
tion. And here let me say that there,
is surely something mean in this re
ciprocal renunciation, resulting in the
cessation of struggle and disappoint
ment. Such renunciation is often need
ful in our imperfect individual case:
our eye gives us trouble, and we cast
it from us. But such rough and ready,
such wasteful, destructive methods are
surely not admissible in a philosophy
of life, in a counsel of perfection! The
universal, as distinguished from the
individual, rule for greater happiness
is not self-diminution but assimilation,
expansion, the non-ego becoming, in
imagination and feelings, an integral
part of the ego. Asceticism preaches
voluntary impoverishment my neigh
bors cease to steal because I possess
nothing I cease to covet, because they
possess nothing 'tis Epictetus' safety
after the thieves had carried away his
brass lamp. But the law of human
life is barter: asking freely and giving
fully mutual enriching thru each oth
er's superfluity. Asceticism refuses to
admit this law for all asceticism moves
in the logical circle of pain as cause
and effect.

La Crosse, Wis., May 21.An explosion oc

head and being otherwise injured. His clothing
was burning when he was taken out, and it is
thought he cannot live.
The wieckage caught fire after the explosion,
but the flames were quickly extinguished. The
cause of the explosion is not known.
Movement to Lower Taxes.
The city officials propose to practice economy
and as a result the tax rate next year will be
less than 18 mills.
An effort will be made to unearth property in
the city which is taxable and which for some
reason has been passed by the assessors of
former jeais. Everything taxable will be taxed
and the total assessment will be increased by a
goodly amount.
Officials figure that the Increase will be suf
ficient to wariant a reduction in the present high
tax rate, in spite of the fact that the city's
proportion of the county tax next year will be
the same as it is this year, due to the decision
of the state tax- commission in the city's appeal
from the equalization set by the county board.
Funds for Normal School Site.
The city of La Crosse will provide for the
raising of $10,000 of the $15,000 needed to com
plete the fund for the purchase of a site for
the proposed normal school, leaving $5,000 to be
raided bj public subscription.
Because of legal difficulties the city will make
no effort to issue bonds to meet this expense.
That bonding companies would refuse bonds is
sued for this purpose is practically assured, for
any objection on the part of a property-owner
here would invalidate them. The total cost of
the proposed site is $21,000.
Norton a Candidate.
Daniel H. Norton, an employee of the Mil
waukee railway company at La Crosse, Is a

cause it gave the mayor unlimited powers and

Narrowly Escapes Death.
Thru aUeged carelessness in turning on an old
valve attached to a gas meter, one of the
Inmates of a lodginghouse in this city was nearly
asphyxiated yesterday. His condition was dis
covered just In time to save his life. The
victim is Andy Barnes, a homesteader, who has
a claim a few miles north of here. He had oc
cupied the room only a few days. Yesterday
morning the smell of escaping gas alarmed the
inmates, who traced the smell to a room on the
top floor. Just then groans were heard from the
Inside and on opening the door Barnes was found
lying on the bed in an unconscious condition and
the room filled with gas.
The gas company was notified and workmen
made an investigation. They found that the gas
was pouring thru an unused pipe into Barnes'
room. A physician was called who worked on
the unconscious man for two hours before he de
clared him out of danger. It is alleged the Jani
tor was to blame fo- turning on the wrong valve
but he denies this. A thoro investigation is
being made into the affair.

BOTH SIDES ADD
TO THEIR CLAIMS
INSURGENTS SAY THEY HAVE
MORE STALWARTS, DITTO.
Conference of All the Big Guns on the
Organization Side Is Held at Sioux
Falls-Leaders Are as Cheerful as
Ever, and Say They Will Have the
State Convention.
Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., May 21.The insurgent r*.
publicans of South Dakota have increased their
claims, according to their last statement, and
now declare tbey will have a total of not lew
than 861 delegates in the state convention, witli
the delegations from Codington, Deuel, Grant,
Hamlin and Walworth, with an aggregate of
122 delegates in doubt. The Insurgents say they
expect to secure at least one-half of the 122
delegates in the five counties mentioned.
The present situation with reference to the
result of the caucauses last Tuesday was care
fully gone over at a meeting of stalwart re
publican leaders held at stalwart headquarters
In this city.
Senator Klttredge, Congressmen Martin and
Burke, Governor Elrod, R. W. Stewart of
Pierre, David Williams of Day county, E. Q.
Kennedy and others, as well as several local
stalwards, were among those who participated in
the conference.
Reports from every county in the state were
at hand and these Were given careful considera
tion. After the conference Frank. Crane, chair
man of the republican state committee, issued
the following statement, which was strongly ap
proved by every participant in the conference:
"The stalwarts have 759 votes in the conven
tion, with piobablv 67 additional and not count
ing Roberts county's 44 delegates contested.
Other gains are likely to be made. The insur
gents' reports are without foundation and are
circulated to deceive and mislead the county con
vention."
It will be noticed that the stalwarts no*
are claiming forty-two votes more than in their
last previous statement, in which they claimed
to have a total of 717 delegates to the state
convention.
The stalwart leaders appear cheerful and ap
parently have not lost confidence in their ability
to capture a sufficient number of delegates at
the county conventions on Tuesday to give them
control of the state convention.

Justice Holds Him for Examination,
Whereupon His Bondsmen Surrender
Him as Preliminary to an Applica

His Behalf.
Special to The Journal.
Webster. S. D., May 21.A dispatch to The
Journal a few weeks ago told of the arrest
of Anna M. Krohn, a female detective in the
employ of the Thiel detective agency of St. Paul,
who was sent to Webster at the Instance of a
land agent to entice away from this City, Mary
Wagner, the complaining witness in a case
against S. Egeland, deputy auditor of this
county, bound over to the circuit court on the
chaige of attempted criminal assault on the per*
son of Miss Wagner.
The detective had all but accomplished her
mission when arrested at the instance of County
Attorney Sears, and among her effects were dia
coveied letters laying bare the entire plot, and
indicating that Dr. S. Lull, a prominent physi
cian of this county, was Involved In the plot.
Miss Krohn and the doctor were arrested and
bound over under $1,500 bonds to the circuit
court. At the preliminary hearing Dr. Lull waa
represented by Mr. Oary, a prominent criminal
attorney of Minneapolis, who demurred to the
complaint on the grounds that as no actual
or overt act had yet been committed, the doc
tor could not be held, under the laws of South
Dakota.
Justice Ratbbun, however, could not see it that
way and bound over the defendant, Bert Her
rlngton and William Sickink of Waubay, being
the bondsmen Today they appeared in court
and surrendered the custody of Dr. LnU, as a
preliminary to an application before Judge Mc
Coy for a writ of habeas corpus to determine
the sufficiency of the complaint under which he
is being held.
