Congressman Crumpacker announced Saturday that he would withdraw from the senatorial race. This gives Heminway a clear field.

And now the announcement has gone out from the postoffice department that no changes will be made in fourth class postmasters except for “cause.” This will be good news to the present incumbents, who have been shaking in their boots for the past few weeks, but will probably not set well with the hungry horde of patriots who hoped to get a place at the postoffice pie counter.

County treasurer Frank Obenchain of Cass county has been missing from Logansport for the past two weeks, and his bondsmen have taken charge of the office. It is thought the shortage will reach $50,000, It is also rumored that a pretty stenographer left Logansport at about the same time Obenchain left, and it is surmised that they left together. Obenchain is about 38 years of age, has a family and, we are sorry to say, is a democrat.

The Newton County Enterprise thinks a measure should be introduced in the forthcoming legislature to relieve county treasurer F. M. Coovert of that county from loss of county funds in the -Gilman bank, which failed last ■summer at Goodland. The Goodland Herald, also a republican paper, comes back at the Enterprise and intimates very broadly that the treasurer knew the bank was weak and was warned by his bondsmen, and also says that “it would seem that an official bond is jno longer a security but rather an ornament to make taxpayers feel good as long as there are no lost funds or malfasance in office.”

JUDGE PARKER’S WEAKNESS.

Some Two Million Democrat* Palled To Vote In the Recent Election. The following article from the New York World, one of the most active supporters of .1 udga Parker in the recent campaign, will be of interest: The comparative statistics of Presidential elections since 1868, printed in another column, show that Judges Parker was the weakest candidate ever nominated by the Democratic party for President. Even Greeley had 44 per cent of the popular vote, while Parker got only 33 per cent. Of the total number of persons eligible to vote in the election less than 33 per cent cast their ballots for Parker Electors.

On the basis of population the total vote should have been more than 15,OCX),000. The actual vote was approximately 13,400,000. Between 1876 and 1900 tbe Democratic candidates averaged 47.7 per cent of the popular vote and the Republican candidates slightly more than 48. By the law of averages Roosevelt should have had 6,432,000 and Parker 6,391,000, on the basis of the vote actually cast. Roosevelt’s total vote, however, was 7,702,000. Yet this represents only 214,000 more thnn the normal Republican vote should have been on the basis of a total vote of 15,600,000. J udge Parker fell 2,200,000 short of receiving the vote a Democratic candidate was entitled to on a full poll.

Mr. Roosevelt's strength was due largely to Judge Parker’s weakness. Even in New York City, supposed to be the Parker stronghold, his majority was only 84,666. He received only 8,000 more votes than were cast for Bryan, and his majority was only 6.000 greater than Bryan’s in 1900, although Bryan represented al-

most everything toj which New York was 'opposed. Democratic dissatisfaction expressed itself in various ways. First, in the enormous stay-at-home vote; second, in the Democratic vote for Roosevelt, which more than offset any dissatisfied and stay-at-home Republican vote; third, in the vote for Debs, and fourth, in the vote for Watson.

But if Parker got fewer votes than Cleveland in 1888 and only 200,000 more than Cleveland in 1884, it is none the less evident 1 that there must be nearly 2,000,000 Democrats in the country who did not vote in 1904, but who are likely to vote in the next election if the Republicans do not behave themselves. Because they would not vote for Parker against Roosevelt it does not follow that they will refuse to vote for a Democrat against a republican in 1908. Greeley had only 44 per cent of the popular vote in 1872, but Tilden in 1876 had 51. Nearly 1,500,000 Democrats who did not vote for Greeley voted for Tilden. By 1908 it is conceivable that, with the increase in population, there might be fully 3,000,000 Democrats and independents who did not vote for Parker but who would vote for some other Democrat candidate for President to punish Republican misgovernment. The results of the election do not guarantee the Republican party an indefinite lease of power regardless of behavior.

He "Hollered" NO More.

On one of his trips to the west Frederic Remington, the artist, made the acquaintance of a cowboy who was called by his associates Hollering Smith. In appearance the man was typical of his kind, and Mr. Remington made several studies of him, both In repose and when In his favorite pastime of "hollering.” Later, when back In his studio, the artist embodied a rather close portrait of the exuberant Smith in several drawings for a magazine, most of them showing him in a state of eruption. A year after Mr. Remington again visited Smith’s neighborhood and on the afternoon of hlB arrival was approached by that worthy himself bearing one of the pictures torn from the magazine. Pointing to the central figure, he said: “Say, is that me?"

“Well,” replied Mr. Remington guardedly, ‘‘l got the Idea from you, of course, but”— ‘‘Oh, It’s all right,” broke In the man. "No offense. If It's me Just say so.”

“Well, yes; It’s a fnirly close portrait of you.” “That's what the boys at the ranch said. I look like that when I holler, do I?”

“I think you do." “Well,” said the man as he slowly returned the lens to his pocket, “If that’s the state of the case, then all I’ve got to say Is that Hollering Smith has hollered the last holler that he’ll ever holler. Hereafter when I celebrate I blow a tin horn, you bet! I don’t consider that no man has a right to look like that, not around amongst white folks nt least.”—Saturday Evening Post.

Three Times Seven.

In the "Life and Correspondence of Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, D. D.,” the author tells us tht\j the distinguished preacher had an entire lack of humor, and he cites an amusing incident in proof thereof. I was telling Dean Stanley that Musician Halle’s cook had lately won a good round sum in a lottery with the number 23.

Halle was interested and asked her how she came to fix on so lucky a number.

“Oh, sir,” said she, “I had a dream. I dreamed of number 7. I dreamed of it three times, and as three times seven makes twenty-three I chose that number, sir.” When I had concluded my story I observed a wistful expression on Arthur’s countenance, ns if he were ready —nay, anxious—to be amused, but could not for the life of him quite manage it. Then suddenly his face brightened, and he said, but not without a tinge of dejection: “Ah, yes, I see. Yes, I suppose three times seven is not twenty-three.” A Breakfast Disk. Butter thick slices of bread. Separate the yolk and white of an egg, carefully preserving the shape of the latter and beating the former to a stiff froth. Turn this beaten white over the buttered bread, then put the round yolk in the center. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the whole and set in the oven to brown. This is not only very dainty to look at, but extremely appetizing as well. * Apple Parings Vlnegsr. Fill a jar half full of apple or peach parings, add one-half teacup of molasses and fill up with water. Set In the sun and strain for use in about two weeks. A Smoky Flra, A little salt sprinkled on a smoky fire will clear it The same method on a fire prepared for broiling will give the blue flame so much desired. To White* Clothes. A few drops of turpentine in the rinsing water helps to clear a white garment. Dry in the sun If possible.

MOB RECEPTION TO CASSIE CHADWICK

Cleveland Gives an Exhibition of Its Chivalry When the Woman Cqmes Home; MET BY A JEERING CROWD Police Have to Break a Way Through with Their Clubs Prisoner Collapses W ben Sbe Reaches Her Cell, bat Soon Recovers —Will Stay In Jail—Five More Indictments. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 15. —Five times Indicted by the United States at the miniute that her train rolled into the station Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick came home to Cleveland. She was greeted with Jeers, hoots and hisses by the crowds that gathered in the station when her train arrived, and howled at by hundreds gathered in front of the federal building. The last sound that reached her from the outside world as she passed Into the county Jail was the hoot of derision from the people massed In front of the doorway. She made no attempt to give ball, and after a brief stop in the office of the clerk of the United States court was taken to jail. Collapses In Hsr Cell. Her courage held to the last, but her body failed her, and when she mounted the three flights of stairs leading to the tier of cells w'here she is to remain she collapsed utterly and fell in a dead faint But for the aid of Deputy United States Marshals Kumb and Kelker, who held her up and almost carried her along as she mounted the stairs, she never would have been able to reach her cell. Arrived there she sank feebly into a chair, her head fell backward, and but for the marshals she would have rolled to the floor. Makes a Very Sadden Recovery.

Water was quickly brought to her, and in a few seconds she revived and wag again a woman of business. Her first request was that her lawyer, Sheldon Q. Kerruish, be sent for, and she was soon engaged in a conference with him concerning ber defense. There are now seven indictments against her—five additional charges having been laid against her in the federal court yesterday. It would require surety to the amount of at least SIOO,OOO to give her freedom, and there is nobody in Cleveland who will furnish that amount for her. She has herself no idea of giving ball.

Even the Women 4gatnat Her.

After she had been in jail several hours a man acting for a local livery Arm, which alleges Mrs. Chadwick owes it $35 for unpaid bills, attempted to serve a summons on ber, but Sheriff Barry declined to allow him to do so. A local organization of women claiming to have a membership of 1,300 has protested to County Attorney Keeler against giving Mrs. Chadwick any privileges not accorded any other women, and Sheriff Barry said he had no intention of doing so. CLEVELAND MOB WAS ON HAND Hoot*. Jeers and Otherwise Insult* the Woman Who Can’t Strike Back. When the train drew into the station at Cleveland Mrs. Chadwick caught a glimpse of the great crowds swarmed about the train shed and grouped on vantage points on the heights surrounding the station. She Instinctively shrank back into a corner of tbe drawing room car and said: “I cannot see why all those people should be here.” There was a good deal of delay in obtaining a carriage, and the mob meantime did what it could to show its fiber. As soon as sh# appeared jeers, hoots and other expressions of derision filled the air, together with coarse epithets. As soon as the police could clear a way and bring about some semblance of order about the station platform the officers led their prisoner towards the gate and out through the entrance. There the street was almost blocked and well nigh impassable to the carriages and teams. The camera fiend was there in all his glory, and through this battery passed Mrs. Chadwick, Marshal Chandler and his two deputies into their carriage. They were immediately driven away to the federal building. The crowd was not composed of hoodlums. Business men on the way home, shoppers and laborers seemed to have been notified of the woman’s arrival, and crowded to the curb as the carriage went by, and tbe jeers and boots were taken up along the entire line; and as each square that brought the party nearer the business center was passed the crowd continued to increase and to avoid the Increasing excitement the officials arranged to approach the federal building from, the rear. This disappointed tbe mob that assembled in front of the building. The police had to beat back the crowd at several points where It blocked the way. * When Mrs. Chadwick with her nurse had entered the federal building Emil, in a carriage outside, was subjected to the scrutiny of tbe mob was forced to listen to anatheraasand maledictions as well as sarcastic and bitter references to “Notes,” “Diamonds,” “Securities,” and the like. The Insults and Jeers were not confined to one class, it seemed, but were heartily taken up by •very on* ou the streets in the neigh-

borhood. Even the clerks in the postoffice working on the ground floor of the building joined In the fleers. But all things have an end and the'subjects of this outbreak of mobocraey finally were sheltered Inside the building. A•UKUOHTEP” WITH HKR RECEPTION Probably Done Mot Refer to tho Welcome of the Hob. Later an Associated Press reporter saw Mrs. Chadwick and sbe talked freely, nearly taking away the scribe’s breath wffien she told him that she was among friends now, and “especially delighted at the treatment accorded me on all sides.” Then she said: “Let me make it plain why I do not seek ball. It is not because I cannot get It, for only today I reeclved a special delivery letter from one of the wealthiest men In the country, who has known me since I was 12 years old. In this letter he assured me that despite the penalty of ' publicity he would si£n my ball bonds for any amount I shall refuse bis kind offer, for while I am In Jail I am free from the annoyance of curious people.” “Tonight,” she said, “I received a letter from Dr. Chadwick, written In Paris.. He assured me of his belief in my innocence, and said he was wiring that day to learn all particulars. I believe Dr. Chadwick sailed today from Liverpool on a White Star steamer, so that within ten days, if this report be true, he will be by my side.

“Since talking with an attorney and with the sheriff I am convinced that I owe it to my friends to tell my side of the story. I had hoped to give this out in a day or two. hut as I have two very Important matters to come up immediately I may be delayed a little. You may assure my friends, and uiose who believe In me that I will not disappoint the confidence they repose In me. I will show them and the whole worid that I am an honest woman, that I have never wrongfully obtained money from any one, and that I will repay every dollar of my Indebtedness.”

HOW SHE PLATED REYNOLDS Hsr Story of Her Orl(fla—Four Notes for fts,ooo Each as B Present. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 12. —Secretary Iri Reynolds declares that his Implicit belief in the statements made to him by Mrs. Chadwick, in which she declared herself to be the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie, was the impelling cause of his financial dealing with her. “She told me,’ said Reynolds, “that she was the Illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie, and I believed her. * * * I refused to say anything about her or her affairs because 1 deemed it my duty to protect her in the story of her birth, as she had given It to me. * * * “When she told me the story of being the daughter of Andrew Carnegie her husband. Dr. Chadwick, was present, and he believed the story as I did. The stories of her giving large sums of money to her husband are false. He is now In Europe, and Is penniless. Just to show the methods of Mrs. Chadwick I will tell of what she offered to do for me about one year ago. She came to me In my office here, and said that she wished me to accept a present from her. “She then offered me SIOO,OOO in four notes of $25,000 each. The notes were drawn by her, and she declared that they were as good as gold. They may have been, for know that ber notes

for Blmilar amounts had been negotiated In banks In this city, and had been taken up at maturity. Of course, as an officer of the bank I could not accept such a present and remain In the Institution. I was compelled either to resign or decline the present of the notes, and I declined the notes.” Carnegie Willing to Appear. New York, Dec. 15.—That Andrew Carnegie Is willing to appear against Mts. Chadwick when his health has sufficiently improved is made clear In a statement given out at Carnegie’s residence by bis secretary, who says: “He has been willing to make a deposition at his home, and later, on his return from Florida,.he will lend his assistance and be present to testify at any subsequent proceeding, such as a trial, whenever his testimony Is needed. His one and only reason for not going to Cleveland now Is that he Is unable to stand the journey In this weather.”

Girl Dies of Stage Fright.

New York, Dec. 14.—May C. Young, 10 years old, of Williamsburg, died suddenely in the German > Evangelical church.

A doctor who was called said she probably died from heart disease brought on from fright
