Burglars enjoyed a fine lunch and then played a game of poker for their victim's money in his own home last night." Rattling of the poker chips aroused the family of Leroy Gleason, this city. Gleason stole down the stairs and saw the burglars in the parlor, busily taking his own money." ; "I bet 30" said one burglar. His companion happened to glance up at the door and saw Gleason. "I pass," he yelled, and shot through the open window. The other burglar grabbed the swag and followed him. Two men answering their descriptions were arrested shortly, afterward.

CANNON TO BE RETURNED.
ALTHOUGH HE HA8 BITTER OPPOSITION IT 13 EXPECTED THAT HI8 PLURALITY WILL BE BETWEEN 5,000 AND 7,500. Chicago, III., Nov. 3. Rousing meetings held In many places throughout Illinois last night marked the close of ! the active work of the campaign. The contest In both the national tickets was over so far as political management was concerned and the fight left with the voters. The Republicans claim, the state by 190,000, while the Democrats class It as doubtful. The Democrats, in fact, have strong hopes of electing their candidate for Governor, Adlai E. Stevenson, and the fight, in this particular, is somewhat In doubt. The Republicans, however, assert that they will return Charles 8. Deneen to the gubernatorial chair by a heavy plurality. K is Impossible to predict with any accuracy the political complexion of the next Congressional delegation from this state, save it will be largely Republican. The Democrats claim stoutly and, with some apparent reason, that they will gain a number of Representatives. It is generally conceded, however, that they will be in a decided minority. The friends of Speaker Cannon confidently predict his re-election by a majority of from 5,000 to 7,500, while the Democrats claim that Henry C. Bell, their standard bearer in this district, surely will defeat Cannon. There is every Indication 'that the next state Legislature, which elects a successor to Senator Albert J. Hopkins, will be Republican. Th Eternal Servant Question. In describing the servant of Buenos Aires a writer in the Buenos . Aires ' Herald says, "Cook, housemaid, waitress, chambermaid or nurse, Individ- i nally and collectively, they are the ? speck on the ripe fruit of domestic i felicity, the fly in the ointment, any-! thing and everything yon please that Is bad and slovenly and untrustworthy, everything, in short, save good servants.- . I Cures Dyspepsia; i Trial Is Froo It is a popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and highly-spiced foods suffer from dyspepsia, or, as it is also known, indi- ' gestion. The laborer in the street, the worker in the field also finds him- j self a victim of this disorder. Among ! the very greatest sufferers from it are ; women.

IE GAMING PASSION Incidents In Actual Life That Outstrip Fiction.
A COLD BLOODED MONARCH. Louis XV. and the Dead Man at the Card Table A Woman Who Gambled on Her DeathbedLord Denison's Play While His Bride Waited at the Altar. If the full story of the card table could be written it would surely be the most startling revelation of human cupidity ever published, and almost every page of it would be, marked by some incident which would outstrip fiction. When Louis XV. was at the card table the fascination of the game made him absolutely dead to all externals and even to decency and humanity. On one occasion when he was playing for heavy stakes one of his opponents, overcome by excitement, collapsed in his chair in a fit of apoplexy. His majesty affected to ignore the incident until some one exclaimed, "M. de Chaurelin is 111!" 4'IU?M retorted the king, casting a careless glance at the stricken man; "he is dead. Take him away. Spades are trumps, gentlemen I" Equally weird is a story Goldsmith tells. When the clergyman arrived to prepare a lady parishioner who had a passion for gambling for her approaching death the lady after listening for a short time to his exhortation exclaimed: "That's enough! Now let us have a game of cards." To humor her the parson consented to play. The dying woman won all his money and had just suggested playing for her funeral fee when she fell back and expired. In the early years of last century a whist club composed largely of clergymen used to meet in the back room of a barber's shop in a Somersetshire town. On one occasion, so the story runs, when four of the club members were acting as pallbearers at the funeral of a reverend brother, some delay occurred, and the coffin was set down In the chancel. One of them produced a pack of cards and suggested a rubber. The coffin served the purpose of a table, and the players were deeply Immersed in the game when the sexton arrived to announce that everything was at last ready. Mazarin's passion for gambling was so strong even in death that he played cards to the very end, when he was so weak that they had to be held for him, and the "merry monarch" spent his last Sunday on earth playing at basset round a large table with his great courtiers and other dissolute persons and with a bank of at least 2,000 before him. The curious fascination cards possess for their devotees is Illustrated by the following story of Lord Granville, at the time ambassador to France. One afternoon when he was about to return to Paris he repaired to Graham's to have a farewell game of whist, ordering his carriage to be at the door at 4. When it arrived he was much too deep In the game to be disturbed. At 10 o'clock be sent out to say that he was not ready and that the horses bad better be changed. Six hours later the same message was sent out, and twice more the waiting horses were changed before he consented to leave the table after losing 10.000. An equally remarkable story is told of George Payne, the great turf plunger of seventy years ago. On one occasion he sat down at Limmer's hotel to play cards with Lord Albert Denison, later the first Lord Londesborough. Hour after hour passed. The game proceeded all through the night and long after day dawned, and it was not until an urgent message came to tell Lord Albert that his bride was waiting for him at the altar of St George's, Hanover square, that the cards were at last flung down. It was Lord Albert's wedding day, and he met his bride 30,000 poorer than when he left her on the previous day. One of the most romantic of gambling stories is told by Mr. ThiseltonDyer of a plainly dressed stranger who once took his Beat at a faro table and after an extraordinary run of luck succeeded in breaking the bank. "Heavens," exclaimed an old, infirm Austrian officer who bad sat next to the stranger, "the twentieth part of your gains would make me the happiest man in the world!" "You shall have It, then." answered the stranger as be left the room. A servant speedily returned and presented the officer with the twentieth part of the bank, adding, "My master, sir, requires no answer." The successful stranger was soon discovered to be the king of Prussia in disguise. The most costly game of cards on record was probably that in which the late George McCuUoch, chairman of the Broken Hill Proprietary company, nee took part. A syndicate of seven had been formed to finance the famous Broken Hill silver mine, and Mr. McCulloch waa.onepf the seven One How's This?

flay, while sitting In a snanty at tm foot of the hill, McCuUoch offered a fourteenth share in the mine to a young man named Cox for 200. Cox would only offer 120, and after much haggling it was decided to set- ' the dispute by a game of euchre. . Cox proved the winner he was to have the share for 120. If he lost he was to' pay 180 for it He won and
for the absurd sum of 120 became . owner of the share which a few years later was valued at 1.250,000. London Tit-Bits. The beginning of excellence is to be free from error. Quintillan. LIGHT VOTE POLLED General Apathy in Tennessee Over Things Political. TIRED OF AGITATION. - Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 3 Both Dem ocrats and Republicans express confidence in the result of voting in Tennessee. The consensus of opinion on both sides, however, is that a light vote will be polled, except in some counties where heated congressional or county fights have been in progress. This light vote is expected to follow the apathetic conditiolns which have prevailed throughout the state during the entire campaign. The fact that there promises to be a comparatively large silent vote adds a degree of uncertainty to the result ; that might not otherwise exist. Today, there is more talk concerning the probable result of the election than at any previous time during the cam- , paign. I The apathy which has prevailed 1 throughout the state is chiefly accred- ! lted to the fact that Tennessee has been surfeited with politics for many months past and the people are tired of political agitation.

POLICE LIKE PRESENT PLAN BY HOLDING COURT IN AFTERNOON MANY OF INCONVENIENCES OF THE PAST HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH. Another objection is being raised to the city court being held at an afternoon hour and this time It comes from members of the mayor's official family. The protest is entered because of t!he Increased expense to the city. The city allows 15 cents per meal for each prisoner fed and when they remain at the city jail until the afternoon session of court they have to be provided with dinner. This is the cause of the additional expense. When six or seven prisoners are in the city jail and each is supplied with breakfast and dinner the increase in expense is not inconsiderable. The members of the police department are almost unanimously in favor of the change to the afternoon hour. Those on night duty do not have to delay their hours of slumber while preparations are being made to convene court, nor to await the pleasures of the attorneys. There has been no case of importance arise in city court since the change of time was made, and none requiring a Jury, so that no test has been made which gives these matters consideration. However, if jury trials are not begun until the afternoon and the customary delays incurred such as have featured previous cases, it will mean more than one day's service for the jury in each instance. One of the greatest drawbacks that is expected to be encountered by the new plan relates to the duties of the prosecuting attorney. When the circuit court is in session and important trials under consideration, the prosecutor can not be at both courts at the same time. This means one court will have to suffer inconvenience or the work must be turned over to a deputy. Although the time has been changed for three weeks the plan has not undergone a thorough trial and for this reason Is being continued indefinitely.

POSTAL RECEIPTS SHOW PROSPERITY Increase in September and October. "Say does this look like hard times?" asked Postmaster Spekenhier as he picked up off his desk a pad showing a bunch of figures. "Last month," said he, referring to the figures, "the receipts at the local postoffice exceeded by $254 the postal receipts of October last year. During last September and October the receipts of the local postoffice exceeded the receipts of the same two months last year by $816.
