Titree names are mentioned at Washington and three only, for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912. There is a surprising unanimity of belief among the party leaders in congress that the next Democratic nominee for president will be one of three men—Judson Harmon, governor-elect o! Ohio: Thomas R. Marshall, governor-elect of Indiana, or John A. Johnson, governor of Minnesota. There are more inquiries about Mr. Marshall than about either of

He was married to Mary Lv Mearle on October 15. 1S77. To this union were born eight children seven boys and one girl. Three boys have preceded him to the gra\e. two dying in infancy, aged 1 ami-f> years, and Herbert L., who departed this life in JuL 1904, at the afr‘of seventeen w rs. Those children surviving him are, Mrs. Kffie Parker, Luther. Waller. Floria and Luna. With tuese there are six grandchildren, t\vo brothers, and a host oi other relatives and friends to mourn his demise. He enli-te ! In the Civil War, was p. ,n ... ive ret-vice and was honorable discharged at Cloverdale.

This arises, in part, from the fact that he has not been as prominent a performer on the political stag • as either Harmon or Johnson, a fact which is not at nil likely to redound

to his disadvantage.

The Indiana Democratic representatives are called upon nearly every day to tell what manner of man Mr. Marshall is and they are giving him some top-notch advertising. Representatives Lincoln Dixon, the dean of the Indiana Democratic delegation and the chairman of the campaign committee of the Democratic congressional committee, is the man to whom inquirers generalI> go to be enlightened about Mr. Marshall. “At least twenty-five Democratic

A Burly Eurglar's Confidence In an Editor's Cosiness Acumen. A man who ndntirted that he came | direct from state prison tried to sell to the city editor of a New York newspaper a weird and -tartlfug story of a missing will which he declared had been revealed to him by a fellow convict. He was a burly fellow with a prognathous jaw. and he had lost an eye in battle. The mere look of him would frighten a timid citizen Into tremors. Mr. White, the expert In criminology, cross examined the man

as follows:

“Why were you in Auburn?” “Highway" (Diettning, of course, high-

way robbery).

"1 suppose you were wrongfully con-

victed.’'

“Nuh; dey laid me right.” Such engaging candor made Mr. White feel that the man was truthful, and he was greatly disappointed when strict Investigation disclosed the fact that tin' story of the missing will was fictitious.

When I was at Cinnamon that enterprising town was igo mill-i from any railroad and a hard place t > get away from. It was a desirable place to leave, since the population was composed of gamblers, cutthroats, dispensers of alcoholic drink miners | and storekeepers, mentioned iu or ior j "f importance, fhe oul) rospeo;ab> j i family in the place was that of George Jones, who kept a general store, and ) as he was the only man who never sold anything on trust ail the money gradually found its way Into his coffers. It was like washing gold. The dirt xvas constantly shaken up among the citizens, the metal sinking to the ] bottom of Jones' pan. Every one knew that Jones was ! gathering a snug sum and that he wished to take it and his children to j a respectable place. Every one was waiting for him to make the attempt, relying on the road agents when lie did so to relieve him of the funds xvhile on the route aud start them again in circulation. Furthermore, the road agents were waiting to carry out this praiseworthy object. One day a red (lag apeared nt Jones’ | store, and it was anouueed that he would sell tin' remnant of ids stock at auction. He sold on sixty days’ credit, letting It he known that when the notes fell duo and were eolleeted lie proposed to leave ('innainou with his family and his fortune. Thor.' w is not u thousand dollars' worth of goods left, and these .lores sold to anybody who wanted anything on his credit plan. Everybody wanted goods so easily obtainable, and Jones in ti few hours exchanged the sutlf for notes. While Jones was thus giving credit for money ciedlt was due Mrs. Jones for being a very shrewd woman. A week before the falling due of the notes she issued invitations for a "suiirry," to which every one in town, including gamblers and read agents, was invited, to celebrate the departure of the Jones family on the day after the said notes fell due. Her husband, generous man, made it known that if any of the debtors found it inconvenient to pay t:p at maturity the matter would be left open fur a rat. '.aide time. These tv. o pr> osi.iotis enhanced the popularity of the Jones family, and the > utthn ats got their horses and their guns ready to return the family fortune to circulation. 1 had clerked for Jones and was ready to do anyth! in the wo ' f . him, hut he didn't trust me till the last'minute, though he Md me to be ready on short notice- to go somewhere with him. I was not Include I in Mrs. Jones’ Invitations for her "snarry,” v hlch surprised me. I bad a room opposite the Jones house, and tlu* night the party came off I watched the throng go In and knew by the gradually Increasing sounds cominc from with In that the guests were getting cheerful. By 11 o’clock most of them were drunk, the worst element being laid out on the floor where they had sunk in their exuberance of spirits. 1 could see through the windows Jones opening liampagne. his wife serving eatables and tlu* eltildron carrying the luxuries to the guests. Then 1 saw Jones himself, drunk as a lord, pledging his guests, while tiis wife look up the cork- cw, which he was no longts able to wield. I had been told to remain in my room ready for orders, and nt mi Inlght I saw Jones emerge from his house and come across the street, and. walking straight as an Infantry 'c.geant. he headed fer n;e. When It ■ i ante under my window he called to me softly. 1 went down, and, taking me through the back door and the yard, lie stopped before a two horse team standing on the street beyond. Jones told me to get In and take the reins. I did so. and as we drove off he strapped a brace of pistols around Ids waist and laid two more at tny feet at the bottom of the wagon. On the outskirts of the town we stopped for a minute at a house while Jones lifted into the buggy a box containing $80,000 in gold. We had the best team of horses In that region, and they did good service. Of course we didn't know whether we had been betrayed by some one who had got wind of the trick, though Jones had taken no one Into his confidence. Anyway every now and then we pti!'

On the start I drove pretty fast, but Jones concluded that we had better save the horses as much as possible, and 1 soon slowed down. We made thirty mile wiihout stopping except for water and another ten before giving the hur-'A.! a feed. Then we breakfasted our cT.es mid gave the team a two hours’ reM.
