Miles was rol bed of some of his decoration in Honolulu is distressing. What a dis appointment would be an undecorated Miles! The Siamese crown prince seems to be tracking the route of his Korean predecessor in the tenderloin gaye ties of New York. Pretty soon he will be hunching for money from home. Knifing a Ticket Cannot, Do It Good. The theory that knifing a ticket will contribute in any material de gree to the success of the ticket in general is not one that loyal parti sans or experienced politicians will subscribe to. There can be no valid excuse tin the part of the democratic friends of Mr. Moore for supporting any candidate on an opposing ticket in preference to one on their own ticket underany circumstances. Would Mr. Moore himself have stopped to reason on the logic of such an argu ment as has been advanced by the Moline faction, had he been declared the regular legislative nominee in this district, and the opposition had under taken such a course as is now planned in Moline? Instead of adopting a hostile atti tude towards his rival for the legis lative nomination, Mr. Moore ought to be-regarded as in duty bound to support his ticket all the way through. Mr. Moore's obligation to his party in this respect cannot be disputed. He has been a candidate for his party's favor. The support that he received from the party is sup posed to have been given in good faith. He could not- have misused his political influence had he been successful, and no more can he mis use his influence simply because he is not on the ticket. If Mr. Cooke is elected he will be in honor bound to uphold the democratic party. It is the duty of democrats to vote for him on this account. The democrats have much more than an ordinary chance of holding their own in the legislature to be elected next Tuesday, and the party at large in the state may well expect that no district will ignore its opportunity to send, a straight line democrat to Springfield. The question of con trol may be close and there should be no question as to the duty of demo crats in the Thirty-third district. They should support and vote their ticket, straight. As long as Mr. Moore was legally entitled to place on the democratic ticket he was given it. When a ques tion arose as to whether he or some one else was the regular nomineee of tjie democratic party in the district tfmler the provisions of the Austra lian DUUUi BJSICUA, li'caltu HH- laW to decide. He should abide by the finding of the tribunal, provided for by the law. Knifing the ticket will not send Mr. Moore to the legislature, it will not heal party differences In the dis trict, and it will not contribute in any respect to party success. The idea of bolting any candidate under the democratic head cannot appenl to any democrat who thinks and who votes his party's principles. Fifty Cent Salt Headed for Hie Su preme Court. A rt)-cent law suit is headed for the United States supreme court. One of the parties is a powerful railroad, ami the other is a rich and indignant wo man. Both insist that they trill con test the case to the last resort. Mrs. P. II. Ludluni, of Kansas City, Kans., went from Caldwell, Kans., to Kan sas City, over the Rock Island rail road. She dil not call for her baggage for three days, and then, when she was informed there was a storage charge of 50 cents against it, she paid it under protest, and then sued the Rock Island company to recover. She alleges the checks given her by the railroad company were legal re ceipts for her property, and that the railroad had no right to interpose a third party, the Union Depot com pany, to whom Mrs. Ludluni was com pelled to pay the half dollar before her baggage was delivered to her. The jury in the local court found for Mrs. Ludluni, and the railroad company promptly appealed the case. it attorneys stating that the case would he carried to the supreme court of the United States before the 50 cents would be paid. "We'll be with you." remarked Mrs. Ludlum's attorney. Democratic Show in Next Congress. The New York Tribune, the great est of the republican organs of the country, of which Ambassador Whitelaw Reid is the editor, concedes that the democrats will have a ma jority in the next house. When a pa- Ier of the standing of the Tribune makes such a confession it may be taken that it is true. Among the reasons given by the Tribune is the fact that the republicans redistricted the country and overreached them selves. In increasing the number of congressional districts many dis tricts which formerly possessed large republican majorities were cut up so that the new districts were cre ated with only small republican ma jorities under conditions then exist ing. The strong tide of public sentiment against the trusts and combines which has set in of late make these districts democratic. Another reason given is that many of the present re publican majority were elected from strong democratic districts through what the Tribune snvs was the re volt of eastern democrats and which will return to the fold and elect democrats this vear.

At one time wo received very good salaries, but merchants got to cutting up the field into so many small districts that they gradually cut up the salaries Into a good in any little ones. My salary kept coining down till at last. Just before setting out on my re turn from a trip, I received n note from my employers stating that my services would no longer be required. What 1 was to do, how support my wife and child, I did not know. My train did not leave for several hours, and I spent the time In a hotel lounging. The distance to the depot was but a five minutes' walk, but I started half an hour be fore tralntlme and had tweuty-tlve minutes to wait there. Seating myself, I watched the people coming and going or waiting, as I was. A j-onng man with the curious combination of red hair and black eyes imssed before me, went to the ticket otfice ami purchased a ticket. Ile.carrled a suit case. There was nothing remarkable alout that, for nowadays every one carries suit cases. IiMleed one of my own was resting on the seat beside me. When the train was called, I entered a sleeping car, where I found the young man with the rod hair and black eyes. He was putting his belongings into a berth directly opiwsite to my own. In due time all went to bed and the lights were turned Ioav. In the middle of the night I awak ened with the stopping of the train, which, by the by, always wakens me, and, hearing loud talking in the rear end of the car, looked out to see what was the matter. The young man who had occupied the lerth opiosite me was leaving the train in company with a man who carried his suit case. In a moment nil was quiet, and I turned over and went to sleep again. I arrived at home on u very gloomy morning, and it was gloomier still when I announced to my wife that 1 was out of a position. She was a plucky woman and. instead of despond ing, by her cheerful behavior did what she could to brace me. After breakfast I didn't know where we were to get a dinner I went down to the store and wound up my affairs there. As 1 had overdrawn my salary there was nothing due me. I was too discour aged to go out and look for a new job, so I returned to my home to talk mat ters over with niy wife. She met me at the door with an ex pression of supreme wonder mingled with fear. "George," she said, "what does this mean?" "What mean?" "Have you yielded to temptation?" "No." "Then where did you get all that money?" "What money?" "In your suit case. And what did you do with your clothes?" "For heaven's sake, tell me what you're talking about." "Come upstairs." She led the way to our bedroom, and there open on the bed was the suit case with several bundles of bank bills in it which had been packed in some old clothing. Dora," I said, "some one has changed suit cases with me. It looks as if a bank had been robbed and the thief on the eve of arrest had found it convenient to turn over the proceeds to me. Where is the morning paper?" She brought the paper, and there on the first page was the heading. "Arrest of the Tenth National Bank Cashier." Then came an account of how a de faulting cashier had leen caught in a sleeping car the night before. The treasure had not becH recovered. "That's the explanation," I said, and gave Dora an account of the young man with red hair and black eyes. Some time before his arrest he had undoubt edly changed suit cases with me. The article closed with a statement that the reward of 10 per cent of the money recovered offered by the bank had been doubled. I counted the bills and found $74,542 in all. The reward would be $15,008.40. I took Dora In my arms and danced with her around the room. "Have you lost your senses?" she asked as soon as she could get away from me. "No; there is a big reward offered for the recovery of this mouey. All we have to do Is to take it to the bank and get the reward." I called a carriage which I had no money of my own to pay for and, put ting the bills back in the case, accom panied by Dora, drove to the Tenth National bank. Arriving there, I left Dora with the treasure and, going into the bank, sent my card to the presi dent. When admitted, I told him the story much as I have told it here. "id you count the money?" he asked. "Yes. It counted $74,542," I replied. "There is but $S missing." he said. "Where is it now?" "In charge of my wife in a carriage at the door." "Bring It in." When I returned with the treasure, the president .was writing a check. He opened the case, called a teller to count the money and when it was finished banded me the check, which was, as I had figured it, $15,908.40. I waved It at Dora as I got into the carriage, and we rode back locked In each other's arms. That evening we dined sumptuously, and a few weeks later I became head of a firm to deal in the goods I had been selling on the road. I am now making money. MARTIN CRANE BORLAND, . LAST HIGH SCHOOL GAME 2 ha. HEBE TO BE WITH CLINTON The last high school football game of the season in this city will tnkt place next Saturday between the lo cal and the Clinton teams. Interest in the contest is heightened by the fact that the team from the Iowa town was played to a tie, 5 to 5, when met at home two weeks ago. and the game here is intended to decide the result of the contests. The Clinton players weigh about the same as the members of the Rock Island team, averaging from i:ss to 140 pounds. In the previous game they were strong on line bucking, and it was through this style of plav that they managed near the end to push over for their one touchdown. Rock Island's defense has been greatly strengthened as was shown in the game with Geneseo last Thursday. Principal liar by. who re fe reed 1 he game, states that the line bucking of the (ieneseo team was equal to that of many college teams, and yet they could not gain consistently enough to win. In the game with (ieneseo'. too, it is contended that Rock Island did not play the olieiise of. which the team is capable, and a much letter showing is expected to be made against Clinton. The boys are receiving little or no training in defensive play this week, but are being worked on the offensive. Coach lirown figures that Clinton will be beaten by a becisive score. Ill the event that Clinton is well whipped. Rock Island will have a very good prospect of winning from. Moline. in that city Nov. 15. and if Moline is bealeu there will be a good chance to hold the score down at Davenport Thanksgiving day, and pos sibly to score on the Iowa team, for of course no sane person can hope for a victory against such odds. One thing that will oerate against the locals to some extent for the the remainder of the season is a change made necessary by the withdrawal of Tom Clark from the team. Clark has been pla ing quarterback. To till this place Morrison lias been taken out of the line and Folsoin substituted in the hitter's place. This increases the weight of the team about thirty pounds, but the gain is not corres ponding to the weight, for it will be ditlicult for Morrison to become as proficient in his new position as a man drilled to work there from the beginning of the season.
