Attempt Made to Assassinate Gaynor, Mayor of New York.

Just as Mayor Gaynor, of New York, was about to depart for a month’s vacation Tuesday morning, he was shot at by James G. Gallagher, who fired three times. One of the bullets passed into the neck and lodged at the lower part of the mouth. An operation will probably be necessary, but it is thought the injury will not prove fatal. Gallagher had been discharged from some position in the city and claimed the mayor was responsible. He said the mayor had stopped his “bread and butter.” Mayor Gaynor is 59 years of age.

Who is the Scalawag That Flashes the Dark Lantren.

John R. Timmons, who has been in very poor health for several months, was lying, by an open window at his l ome a few nights ago ahd was seized with a fit of coughing. While looking out of the window he saw a man come up and stand right near the window. He could not see his face but got a fair description of the clothing he wore. After waiting a minute the man flashed a dark lantern fairly in Mr. Timmons’ face and then disappeared, mons from recognizing him. It was about 11:30 at night. A neighbor saw the man leave the Timmons home ana walk down the street, occasionally flashing the lantern. Several people have guns for thieves and if this rascal or others don’t finish up with a lot of shot in their hides we miss our guess.

Murderer of J. B. Sayler Gets a Promotion at Joliet.

Dr. W. R. Miller, murderer of the late John Byron Sayler, has been given a promotion at the Joliet penitentiary and is now stationed in the library of that institution doing the work formerly done by Paul O. Stensland, the Chicago wrecker. When Dr, Miller first went to the penitentiary he was put to work making brooms and his promotion came much earlier than is usually the case with the ordinary convict. The librarian’s place is probably the most desirable one in any of the work given to convicts at Joliet, except that of office boy to the warden’s office. Mrs. Sayler also has a good position as cook for the officers in charge of the woman’s department at the penitentiary. She was given this place soon after she was taken to Joliet. She attended chapel at the penitentiary for the first time Sunday. The bill of exceptions for the appeal for Mrs, Sayler wap filed Tuesday. It is the plan of her attorneys to present her case to one of the justices of the supreme court at ftn early date and «sk that she be admitted to bail pending the de&ision of the court in her case. There’s nothing so good for a sore throat as Dr. Thomas’ Electric Oil. Oures it in a few hours. Relieves any pain in any part.

Prettiest Moving Picture Show In the Olty. WAMTBB, Proprietor.

The Democrat, as might be supposed, comes to the defense of Henry Barnhart, the 13th district congressman, who took $4,500 in salary that had accrued following the death of Abraham L. Brick and before Barnhart was elected and installed in office. That is all right for a democratic congressman, but Babcock feels that a city councilman should pay back S3O of an SBO annual salary. This Is Babcock’s consistency. The kiad that figures in his claim as the “taxpayers’ friend” when he secretly for eight years participated in a graft by an agreement to refrain from competitive bidding for the city printing and during: which time he took a rake off of first 30 and later 20 per cent and gave nothing in return. Fine sample of purity to suggest that councilmen pay back' a part of‘their salaries. “Taxpayers’ friend! ” Great conceit to make so brazenly . Never took part in a frameup. Ha! Ha!
