A girl seldom begins to take life serious until she has been up against one case of unrequieted love. A good many people think they have done their duty by a friend in trouble when they tell him not to worry. With plenty of love for the wife and plenty of well prepared food for the husband, there would be fewer divorces. The “greatest show on earth” sold to a rival circus firm for only $400,- 000! And we gave $20,000,000 for the Philippine zoo. If the lines of thought affect the lines of the figure it is remarkable that more women do not resemble the interrogation point. POLITICIAN GOES TO JAIL. Held Guilty of Contempt for Actions in Courtroom. Chicago, Nov. 27.—A fine of $100 and a sentence of ten days in jall were imposed by Judge Cleland on County Commissioner Max Blumen- feld, a Tenth ward volitical leader. Judge Cleland held Blumenfeld in eontempt after the latter had refused to stop talking in the courtroom. Com- missioner Blumenfeld was talking to the clerk of the court, with Balliff ‘Whitley rapping for order. The com- missioner ignored him and finally, when leaving the courtroom, re- marked he ‘“would get the bailiff’s fob.” Judge Cleland overheard the remark and ordered the commissioner before him. “What do you mean by such mis- eonduct?” demanded Judge Cleland. “I don't know that 1 am guilty of any misconduct,” replied Blumenfeld. “Haven't I a right to talk to the olerk?” “I know differently. I fine you $5 for contempt of court,” Judge Cleland sald angrily. Blumenfeld reached down in his pocket and pulled out a large roll of bills. “You can make it more if it pleases vou,” lmpudently suggested Blumen- feld. “Very well, I'll make the fine $25,” said the judge. “I can pay $50 or $100 just as easy,” Wwas the retort of the politician. “Mr. Clerk,” said Judge Cleland, “1 fine Mr. Blumenfeld $100 and I also sentence him to ten days’ imprison- ment in the county jail.” The commissioner was locked up, but friends persuaded him to apolo- glze to Judge Cleland and he was re- leased after being fn jail two hours. Will Undoubtedly Recover. ‘Washington, Nov. 27.—Senor Bom- baller, the acting chancellor of the Cuban legation, who attempted sul- olde, s resting comfortably at the Homeopathic hospital. It was stated that he was conscious, was feeling better and would probably be able to be out in a week or two. FRENCH SLAY MANY ARABS Repulsed in Fierce Fight After Losing 1,200 Killed. Maghnia, Algeria, Nov. 27.—The French camp was attacked by 10,000 of the flercest Benis Nassen tribes- men, who were beaten off with a loss of 1,200 killed. The fighting continued for a long time and was conducted on the part of the tribesmen apparently with total disregard for thelr lives. At one time the French infantry was in danger of belng surrounded, but they finally disengaged themselves from their perilous position by a most brilllant charge of the Spahis. The rout of the Arabs was completed by vigorous shelling of the artillery. The French loss was elght killed. Jap Consul Declines Gift. Beattle, Wash, Nov. 27.—Saburo Hisamidzu, the retiring Japanese con- sul, on the eve of his departure for Toklo refused to accept a costly silver loving cup presented to him by the Japanese association of Seattle and instead asked that the cup be disposed of and the money used in a fund started toward bullding a clubhouse in this city as a gathering place for the fubjects of the n:lkldo. i PLAN OF DEMOCRATS Leaders Decide to Hold Their Na- tional Convention First. OLD CUSTOM IS ABANDONED Committes Turns Dewn Practise of Allowing Republicans to Take the Lead in Naming Candidates and Adoepting a Platform. French Lick, Ind, Nov. 2)—The Democratic national oconvention will be held before the Republican conven- tion next year if the plans adopted by members of the Democratic committee at a secret conference held here with Chairman Taggart are carried out. The information comes from a mem- ber of the national committee and is perfectly reliable. He says “It is vital to the Democratic party Whether we lead or follow In the next campaign. For years and years it has been oustomary for us to wait until the Republicans have named thelr tickets and then for us to fol- low and name ours. The same was true of our platforms. The result was that we have suffered by belng put on the defensive with the voters of the ocountry—put in the attitude of being afrald to act until our opponents had acted. “The question of breaking that precedent has been agitating the na- tional committee for a long time. The drift of public sentlment is our way now and is getting stronger all the time. We reasoned that now or never is our great opportunity. We must take the initiative and drive the Re- publicans, instead of trying, as in past years, to keep the Republicans from driving us. So we came to French Lick by Invitation to talk it over.” SAYS THE WORST IS OVER John D. Roockefeller Disous clal Situation. New York, Nov. 2 .—“The worst is over,” said John D. Rockefeller when asked his opinion regarding the finan. cfal situation. “There was mo neces- sity for that ‘worst’ ever to have ap- peared,” he continued, “but of course We are bound to feel the effeots of 1t for some time.” “What do you think was the real cause of the panic?” he was asked. “Oh, there were a number of causes. They all happened to combine and come to a head at one time. All of these combined forces created uneasi- ness and a lack of confidence. When you remove confidence from the busi- ness world trouble is bound to ensue. Confidence will be restored gradually and we will resume our normal condi- tlon. This is too great a country to be held down.” “Do you belleve President Roose: velt's policy in attacking the trusts contributed to cause the financial con. ditions?” “I believe President Roosevelt to hs actuated by the best of motives and have no criticism to make of any kind. This financial condition was foreseen long before it as felt. Several well known men pointed out that it was bound to come unless measures were adopted to stop it.” TO BOOM THE NEBRASKAN County Democracy Bryan League Offi- cially Launched In Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 2i—The Chicago campaign for the nomination of Will- fam J. Bryan for the presidency by. the Democratic national convention has been officlally launched. The County Democracy Bryan league, fully officered and equipped and with Rob- ert E. Burke as its leader, was for- mally organized as the first step. The strongest sort of a Bryan reso- lution was adopted by the new body, which was organized because the eon- stitution of the county Democracy pro- hibits the endorsement of a candidate prior to nominating conventions. Mr. Burke will not reserve all of the credit for the inciplency and boosting of the Bryan movement in Chicago to himself. He extends the olive branch to the Jefferson club, tne Iroquois club and to any other Demo- cratic organization which wishes to get In on the ground floor. To that end the Bryan league proposes a con- ference committee to be composed of representatives of all organizations which are “earnestly in favor of the nomination and election of Willlam J. Bryan.” Finan- Federation of Commercial Clubs. 8t. Paul, Nov. 2)—In view of the immense benefits which may result to Minnesota from the organization of all commercial bodies of the state the Commereial club of 8t. Paul has se- cured the active co-operation of the mayor of St. Paul and the governor of Minnesota in arranging for & con- vention of all the commercial clubs, business leagues and industrial bodles within the state to meet at the old capitol in St. Paul on Thursday, Jan. 16, 1908, at 10 a. m. It ig expected that the convention will continue for two days. ‘It is hoped that it will re- sult in the permanent federation of all the commercial and business interests of the state.

Case Expected to Go Over Until Late in January, New York, Nov. 2 .—The second trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, set for Dec. 2, will again be postponed afid there {s little chance that it will be called untll some date well along in January. The decision to ask for a postponement has been agreed to by both sides. It is due partly to the fact that the task of selecting a jury Wwould be made doubly hard by the a; pect before The talesmen of spending both Christmas and New Year's day locked up under the care of court balliffs and also to the fact that Thaw's counsel has applied to the court for permission to inspect the secret evidence presented before the lunacy commission during the prog- ress of the first trial. As an added cause for delay there is a rumor that the attorneys now representing Thaw may apply for a change of venue, de- claring a fair trial for their client in Wew York county is impossible, MANY WITNESSES CALLED Deny Signing Notes Bearing Their Al- leged Signatures. Chicago, Nov. 2,—Men whose names former Assistant Cashier Me- Lean of the Chicago National bank testified last week to having signed to the memorandum notes which have become conspicuous in the trial of John R. Walsh were called upon to testify at the resumption of the hear- ing. The first of these witnesses was T. J. Redlings, an employe of the Wis- consin and Michigan railway, one of ‘Walsh's enterprises. He denied that he signed or authorized any one to sign for him any of the $92,000 notes deacribed in McLean’s testimony. He said he had never heard of the notes prior to the closing of the bank. Sim- flar testimony was given by L. R. Witty, formerly trainmaster of the Southern Indiana railway; W. R. Hick, employed at one time as physician and surgeon for the Wisconsin and Mich- igan railway; M. J. Tibbetts, em- ployed in a like capacity by the same company; H. L. Rozier, a private banker of St. Genevieve, Ill.; W. W. ‘Wilder, who aided in securing rights of way for the Illinols Southern and the Southern Missour{ raflroads, and J. F. Jackson, general traffic agent of the Wisconsin and Michigan railroad. By the testimony of these witnesses the prosecution contends that it has been shown that when Walsh desired funds for the promotion of his rail- roads he obtained the names of rail- way employes from the payroll and instructed McLean to sign them to the memorandum notes without the authority of the men whose names were used, had the notes discoynted and had the proceeds placed to his personal account. DECLARES SHE IS INSANE Expert’s Opinion of Mrs. Brad- ley Given on the Stand. ‘Washington, Nov. 2/—The proce- dure in the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, charged with having shot and killed former Senator Arthur M. Brown of Utah in this clty last De- cember, was without incident of spe- elal interest. Mrs. Bradley appeared to be dejeosted and was unusually pale. The reading of the hypothetical question, in which thée statement of the entire evidence in the case was summed up by the defense, was the principal feature ol the session. It proved to be dull entertainment for the audience and most of the men present left the room only to have their places filled by others who had been anxiously waiting to get an ad- mission. Half of the audience were ‘Wwomen and they proved to be more in- sistent, not a single one giving up her place until the court took a recess. Bcraps of letters written by Mrs. Bradley and found in a waste basket at the hotel where the shooting took place, torn in small pieces, were pre- sented for identification and Dr. Wil- fred M. Barton, an insanity expert for the defense, was placed upon the stand and testifled that frequent preg- nancies and abortions bring a condi- tion of insanity. Declares Mrs. Bradley Insane. The reading of the hypothetical question was concluded at 2 o'clock. Dr. Barton declared that after hearing it he concluded that Mrs. Bradley was insane at the time she committed the act. Her particular ailment, he sald, was puerpural insanity. Dr, Barton sald, on cross-examina- tion, that a confused condition of mind caused by septic infections was not necessarily insanity. Regarding Mrs. Bradley’s making threats he named many authorities to support his conclusions that insanity could be caused by frequent abortions. Dr. Barton declared further that Mrs Bradley belonged to the abnormal type of women, occupying herself with all duties except those usually expect: ed of women. Dr. Barton sald that no particular abortion was responsible for Mrs. Bradley’s condition of mind, but tt was the sum total of them that unseated her reason. He denied that his opin fon was mere speculation. MILLIONAIRE ROBBED. White Woman and Negro Accomplice Under Arrest. Chicago, Nov. 2 .—James Edwards, colored, and a white woman who gave her name as Clara Edwards, but. whose real name is believed to be Rose Cohen, have left here in charge of detectives to answer in New York the accusation of having robbed a millionaire of diamonds and money te the amount of $25,000. Edwards and the woman were ar- rested late Saturday night. Accord- ing to the Chicago police a man who said he was Robert H. Brown of At- lanta, Ga., complained to the New York police that while he was in the company of the woman her colored accomplice rifled his baggage and later both the negro and the woman escaped with the money and jewelry. None of the stolen property was found in thelr possession when arrésted. Three Drown While 8kating.
