POTTER. THE ELECTION IN CUBA. There will be those we fear who will see In the Cuban election no great support of the United States Intervention. The Conservatives swept the country and these same Conservatives were the Moderates which elected Palma at the time of the intervention. We regard it not as a rebuke to the United States, but as a defeat of the party which caused the disturbance. It is perfectly natural that the Cubans should not be over pleased with the party that made all the trouble. We think that the chief thing to look at in this election was not the fact that one party won. The significant thing was that the effalr went off so smoothly. The American can not understand the unstable fickleness of Cuban politics or rather of all Spanish-American politics. All that the United States hoped for, more than came up to the highest expectations. The Cubans have learned their lessonwe guaranteed peace when we quit the Islands and they are not likely soon to , let party strife lead to intervention again. The election day was exceedingly quiet and every man seemed to try to exhibit his capacity for self government If that is not a result worth our intervention there was not the slightest use of our straightening things out Things happen so quickly and are forgotten so soon in this world, that it may be pertinent to point out what Taft had to do with the present election. Taft proposed the plan which was carried out that the electoral administration be placed In the hands of electoral boards non partisan in their majority but with partisan representation thereon. This was adopted by the Cubans in their new elect

oral law. There is no doubt that this measure contributed largely to its successful operation. This peaceful election then was a triumph of the good common sense and peculiar justice of Taft. We can be by no means certain that the Cuban character as manifested in political affairs is any too stable, but from now on any friction must be due to the Cubans themselves and can not be laid at the doors of this country. We have acted in the extremist fairness and utmost honor. Let us see what will happen.

TREES AND SIDEWALKS. Fine shade trees and good sidewalks we conceive to be one of the most attractive features of any town. Whatever the architecture, if you have enough large shade trees they will attract attention from ugly buildings and enhance the pleasing features of beautiful structures. Not only that, but they afford a grateful and cooling shad to passersby. That every one knows and has almost forgotten. We in Richmond have beautiful trees. Are we going to lose themWe are beginning to have good side walks, but are they going to kill the trees? It has been noticed all over town that the cement sidewalks have made certain-trees turn yellow and die. The sidewalk contractors have in many cases cut off half the roots of trees on one side by the sidewalk, on the other side by the cement gutter. We are aware that the roots play havoc with th sidewalks, if left but we are also aware that if cut too much the tree will die. Some happy medium must be attained. For our part we consider-that moderately good side walks with fine trees are better than dead trees with fine sidewalks. If any one cares to see the effect of sidewalks on trees let him look at the first square on Tenth street north of Main. AFFAIRS IN IOWA. The passing of Allison will compli cate matters in Iowa politics. There has been a fight to the, death between the factions. Yestesflay Cummins was regarded as a whipped dog no longer able to muster any hope. He has in the last year been after the senate and almost forced Allison out. However, it was left to the neople and the people were overwhelm ingly for Allison at the primaries. Those who "remember the desire of the administration for Senator Dolliver to take the second place on the national republican ticket can hardly appreciate the commotion it stirred in Iowa politics. The people thought it would mean Cummins for the senate. if the place were mode Taeant. Now sve have the place open. Notwithstanding the fact that Cum mins is reported to Ireve played false with his two lieutenants and pushed them both into the race for governor, so that he could have two chances to land the senatorship in event of Alli son's death, there is reason to doubt whether the move will gain Mm any thing. Both his former lieutenants have pledged themselves not to help Cummins. Ciwamins has played in phenomenal luck so far and we may expect ,a battle royal in Iowa. THE VILLAGE GRKN. Richmond has lost another thriving industry. We wonder that the Com mercial ehib has not bestirred Itself. The Palace of Pleasure which ministered to our civic desire for hysteria and the fast life is- gone, ales, from the Richmond Plaia at the comer of Tenth and Main. How lonesome looks the place! There only some hundreds of large weeds, a few piles of brick bats and a sign advertising ladies shoes. (True, one would hesitate to walk barefoot upon the Plaaa.) What was Rome after the Huns, the Visagoths, the Ostragoths. and the Vandals had destroyed the great Roman Circus? What is Richmond without its Merry-go-round. No more the crowds stream into the Eternal City over all the roads which lead to Rome. Ah, what will our visitors say when the Good Roads Congress meets when they find the ruins of our Place d'Amusement gone? We had thought at one time that the Richmond Base Ball Park might be removed to this spot or that a fountain and a little grass seed might do the place good. Such hopes are vain. O, leave us to our ruins! ALLISON. The republican party has lost in Senator Allison, of Iowa, a strong and faithful servant and the United States has lost a man who has labored all his life in its interest. Allison is almost the last of the senators of the Old School. Fearless in the right subtle in his actions, a sane and impartial man. No one was so scrupu lous about his word as Allison, no man was so afraid of promises. Such a man is of a type fast disappearing. We see fewer and fewer examples of the real senatorial dignity of which Allison stood as a type. But the man who has been in the senate so long will leave an untarnish-

ed record and a legacy to the country and to the state of Iowa of which they

may both be proud. Allison was not the man to seek demagogic popularity but there is genuine grief throughout the couitry that the end of his useful life has come.

The republi can state committee will meet in In dianapolis Friday night of this week and in connection with the republi can executive committee will decide on a date for the opening of the cam paign in Indiana. The two committees will meet at republican state headquarters in the Claypool hotel. Chairman Goodrich of the state committee will be present. "It is about time to open the cam paign," said Secretary Carl Riddick "and the members of the committee want to get together and talk over arrangements for beginning the cam paign with a good big hurrah." Notices were sent yesterday to all the members of the committee and Secretary Riddick expects that nearly all of the committee will attend the meeting. delegate from hell wan to speak Man Claiming Inferno as Recent Home, Is in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 5. Declaring he was originally from Dallas, Tex., but more recently from hell, and that he wanted to tell Chicago people the real conditions in the inferno, a strange man approached Manager Wessels of Orchestra Hall, saying he wished to rent the hall and tell about his experiences. "I died and went to hell and lived there sixty-nine hours," calmly remarked the stranger. "During my brief stay there I made several important discoveries. We are not living on the earth. We are living on the moon and what we think is the moon is only the reflection on the sky of the sphere on which we live." The delegate from hell departed irate when told he would have to put up coin of the realm. SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EXPERIMENTING The Great Scientist Made a Great Discovery. When a man is in doubt, it becomes his duty to investigate and when proof is piled upon proof, it is time to be convinced. There Is nothing in life so valuable as good health. The reporter of this article personally knows of several people here that are rapidly regaining their health because they Investigated the proofs produced by the Root Juice people and were convinced. We positively know that an eminent scientist devoted several years "of his life to hard study and spent over ten thousand dollars experimenting before the afflicted were permitted to try his great discovery, which Is now curing people all over the country, after all other remedies had failed. If you bloat and belch sour gases, if your food lays heavy on the stomach, if you have any symptoms of indigestion, we honest ly believe that one dose of Root Juice will convince you of its wonderful merits. Root Juice soothes and heals the mucous lining of the stomach. bowels and bladder and at the same time healo and strengthens the liver and kidneys. It prevents fermentation of food in the stomach and bowels and stops formation of acid by causing the digestive fluids to be supplied in sufficient quantities in a natural way and giving the liver and kidneys health and strength to do the work nature intended them to do. The blood will soon be filtered of all im purities and good, rich blood will be made to nourish the whole bodv.

CHAPTER XIII. T was not until the hurrying Bansemer entered the door of Rector's that the apprehension of having committed a senseless blunder came to him. "Good heavens!" he muttered, stopping short. "What a fool I'm getting to be meeting old Elias, In a place like this! The theater crowds everybody In town will be here by 11! Curse me, for a hopeless ass! I must get him away at once!" Grumbling at himself, he passed Into the restaurant. Gabe offered him the choice of various tables. He selected one which commanded a view of the entrances and ordered a perfunctory "Scotch." Nervous and anxious, he was more troubled than he cared to admit even to himself. Fortunately there were not many people in the cafe, and his gaze wandering about the place soon halted before the small alcove In the east end containing a table with wine glasses, in waiting, set for a large party. The clock, back of the cigar stand, said it was five minutes after 11. Bansemer Impatiently watched the two doors leading to the street and was beginning to wonder whether the message had reached the old clerk when presently the uncouth shape of Droom appeared slinking through the so called ladies' entrance with the shrinking attitude of one unaccustomed to fashionable restaurants and doubtful of his reception. Bansemer motioned to him. "Just as soon as I can get my check," he was saying, at the same time beckoning to a waiter, "we'll move out of this. It will be crowded in I never thought, a stall at Chapin & Gore's will be better. Here, waiter, my check! I'm in a hurry! The devil!" As the exclamation burst from his lips there came down the narrow steps and through a door quickly thrown open by a waiter a number of gay, fashionably dressed people, all smiling and trembling with the cold. Immediately this party attracted the attention of the room. Walters rushed hither and thither relieving the ladies of their costly lace and fur wraps and the men of their heavy overcoats. Of the expected theater comers these were the first to arrive, but presently others followed, and soon the quiet cafe of the early evening became transformed into one of bustle and excitement by the eager, animated throng. With dismay Bansemer noticed that those to whom his attention had been attracted were blocking his way to the doors. Escape was out of the question. Reluc tantly he returned to his seat and ordered the clerk to take the one opposite him. Then scanning the party making its passage to the alcove he ! perceived three or four men whom he ' knew and presently, to his surprise and consternation, his son. The recogni-i tion was mutnal, Graydon making his ' way around a small table in order to' affectionately greet him. As he aD-' proached his eyes fastened themselves on his father's companion. With amazement he recognized the queer figure of the lanky, gangling broom; but, too kind hearted and well bred to allow his features in the slightest degree to express the astonishment which he felt at sight of such a comic incongruity, the young man voiced a few kindly words to the old man, whll from the table in the alcove where the smart little supper party were seating themselves Miss Cable was smiling her cheery recognition to her prospective father-in-law; then Graydon made his way back to his seat by, her side. "Why did you come here?" asked Droom, feeling somewhat akin to the proverbial fish out of water. "Because I thought I thought you couldn't find any other place," replied Bansemer confusedly. The unexpected arrival of his son and party had disturbed his usual coolness, but with his order for supper his "Humph! I know every ttreet in town." equilibrium returned, and he went on 1 1 iu vipuun. j I supposed vou knew onlv two t streets in town Wells and South Wa ter." "HumpbJ I know every street in town," Droom resented, drawing himself up in his chair, and then bluntly, "What's happened T' "Not so loud! Harbert's here, but" "Oho! Here?" "In Chicago, yes we'll talk about it later." The present genial environment and convivial atmosphere were producing a most inspiriting effect on the lawyer. The delightful consciousness that the people with whom his son was supping were of the smartest set in town for the moment had banished all fears of (Bps. ore. rem time .to Jim . b

Mead Company gfan'cel "proudly across to the alcove table where the men were engaged in unfolding their napkins and toying with their glasses, in lively anticipation of the enjoyment to come; while the women, with the hope of eliciting admiration for their hands and the eparkle of their rings, were taking off their gloves and spreading out their fingers on the tablecloth. "Graydon seems to be right in the swim, eh, Droom?" he said. The irony of it all appealed strongly to his sense of humor. "I don't suppose you know those swells?" he added patronizingly. Droom was listening intently to the bursts of merriment which were enlivening the restaurant. Like a small boy at a circus who fears that something will happen that he will not see, he was continually turning his head and letting his eyes travel critically over the company at the neighboring table. At this speech of Bansemer's the eyes of the old clerk returned. They expressed no little resentment at the inference. "Certainly I do." and. leaning over the table and covertly indicating with his long, bony finger the man at the head of the table, he answered succinctly, "That's Fernmore; he's" A particularly loud burst of laughter cut him short At the adjoining tables conversation had abruptly ceased; heads were turned and inquisitive eyes were fastened on the brilliant coterie I t the alcove table. Few men in Chicago were better known or better liked than the stout, I florid complexloned. Jovial looking Bllly Fernmore. the host of this entertainment. His social adventures and the headlong follies in which his fun loving proclivities invariably enmeshed him were only surpassed by his fondness for ridding himself of his unlimited wealth. To his inherited five millions marriage had added the colossal fortune of a beautiful heiress, whose extravagances aggregated less than his own solely through the limitations of her sex. Yet, were it not for the self imposed handicap of adhering strictly to the somewhat old fashioned precept that Jewels should be acquired only through affectionate beneficence. Mrs. Fernmore might have succeeded in surpassing the princely prodigalities of her lord and master. "It was this way," Billy was saying in his own inimitable manner and awake to the realization of having a "good one" to tell. "A few days ago the lady of my house took wings for New York a little spree of her own, you understand. And, for Billy Fernmore, I kept out of mischief for a time fairly well. After waiting days, lamblike, for her return, restlessness" and here Fernmore's shameless affectation of the neglected husband became so irresistibly funny that it provoked prolonged laughter from his listeners, even Droom showing his yellow snags and stretching his mouth to the fullest extent of the law as he Joined in the general chorus "restlessness gave way to recklessness, and in desperation I lilted a half dozen of the oldest and roost distinguished widowers in town to dIue w ith me at the hotel, where tneJ" w-ere Informed they were to be honored hy the presence of a bevy of tne season's prettiest debutantes. My stars, but they were a fine collection of old innocents!" Fernmore threw himself back in his chair and roared at the recollection. "Billy's a wonder when he's wound up!" Medford's whispered aside to the lady on his right met with a simple nod of the head; for, despite Miss Clegg's well feigned interest in Mr. Medford when Rigby was present on other occasions there was no pretense of enjoyment of his society. "Among those present to use the correct phrase," said Billy, after having refreshed himself with sufficient champagne to proceed, "were two re tired merchants, a venerable logician. a doddering banker and a half blind college professor. Of course I had to make some excuse for Mrs. Fernmore's absence. For the life of I cannot now remember what yarn I told them, but they were too anxious to be presented to the gay young women not to swallow it whole. The old boys fairly swamped the girls with their senile attentions. It was a lively sup-1 per party my word! And they went; borne unanimously declaring that the ! debutantes of the present day dis-! counted, at least in dash and gc, the charmers of fifty years ago." Amidst the confusion of peals of merriment which greeted the genial j raconteur, Miss Cable, to whom the story did not especially appeal, whisI pered in awed tones: "Graydon, who on earth is that queer, spectacular looking man with your father?" j "Oh, that's Droom isn't he a cbarac-1 ter? He's been with the governor since I was a child. In those days his looks used to frighten me almost to death. I fancy he's had a sad life, i don't you know." "There is something positively awful in his face," returned the girl, as her eyes faltered and dropped to her piate on unexpectedly meeting those s v. ,. Sh-hT came from Medford. and then. "Come, Billy what's the point or the moral, as they say in novels ?' "Fernmore Is a rattling good chap at heart." Graydon was saying to Jane, "but I can't stand that Med" "Yes, yes; go on, Mr. Fernmore," broke In several voices in eager expectancy. "The moral?" Billy's eyes were twinkling.

In conclusion. ".It was no end of a lark! I would not have missed it for the world; but the old chaps will never, never forgive me." ' As the gentleman finished. Bansemer was looking at Proora with amusement. The old clerk was shaking his head in a manner that signified disapproval. "How s that for doings in swagger society, eh. Droom? If any one but Billy Fernmore had done that he would have been ostracized forever. Nothing like millions" j "I don't believe true aristocrats would do ' that."

Droom meekly followed his employer. j For some time neither spoke. In i their stall each was busy with his own ! thoughts and speculations. j "I think I've made a mess of it with i Mrs. Cable," began Bansemer.

"Humph!" was D room's way of saying he lied. "Harbert has a purpose in coming here, Elias. We must prepare for him." "We are as well prepared as we can expect to be. I guess it means that we'll have to get out of Chicago." "Curse him!" suarled Bansemer.

She was walking to town and assured him that she rejoiced in his distinguished company. They discussed the play snd the supper psrty. "Now that I'm engaged to Graydon I'm positively beginning to grow sick of people." Miss Cable declared and as they all declare at that age and stace. "Well, you'll soon recover," be smiled. "Marriage is the convalescence of a love affair, you know." "Oh. but most of the men one meets are so hopelessly silly tiresome." she went on. "It's strange too. Nearly all of them have gone to college Ysle or Harvard." "My dear Jare, they are the unfortunate sons of the rioh. You can't blame them. All Yale and Harvard men are not tiresome. You should not forget that a large sprinkling of the young men you meet at the pluk teas were sent to Yale or Harvard for the sole purine of Uvomiug Yale and Harvard men; nothing more. Their mothers never expected them to be anything else. The poor man sends his son to le educated: the rich man usually does it to get the boy away from home, so that he won't have to look at him all the time. I'm happy to say that I was quite poor when Graydon got his diploma." "Oh. Graydon Isn't at ail like the others. He is a man!" cried Jane, her eyes dancing. "I don't mean to say that all rich men's sons arc failures. Some of them are really worth while. Give credit unlimited to the rich man's son who goes to college and succeeds in life ia spite of his environment I must not forget that Graydou's chief ambition at one time was to hunt Indians."
