TROOPS IN CHARGE
OF THE TOWN
Several Companies of State Militia
Have the Desired Effect.
CAIRO, Ills., Nov. 13 Alexander,
who was reported to have been impli
cated in the murder of Moss Pellcy,
wa9 sent north last night secretly to
unmn niinf tirtlrnnum Ktr a unnninl
train on the Illinios Central railroad,
and in company with two companies
of the state militia was safely taken
away.
With Alexander out of the way the
town is quieting down somewhat and
and it is believed that there will be no
further serious outbreaks. When Alex
ander was taken away a small crowd
gathered and jeered him on the way,
but no serious effort was made to se
cure him, as the presence of seven com
panies of the guard had the effect of
keeping them back.
Two sets of fours were in advance of
the prisoner, who was handcuffed and
flanked by deputy sheriffs, and two
sets of fours followed. As the Vandalia
men swung north toward the railroad
nlong Twentieth street, three compa
nies cleared the street in advance of
the escort and a like number followed
in the rear, keeping back the crowds
that were augmented at every street
crossing of the half mile ,arch to the
train.

O'Brien, licensee at the Henshaw, vio
lated the daylight saloon law by sell
ing beer in teacups at 9:20 p. m. It is
charged that Rome Miller repeatedly
violated the same law by selling li
quors after hours in th6 Rome vine
yard. The dates of alleged sales are
given.
It is alleged that Lcntz & Williams,
T. J. Foley, J. J. Sullivan, W. E. Nes
tlehouse and Henry Sherman also vio

Frank Sampson is said to have con
ducted a gambling room in the Murray
hotel September 15. Rome Miller and
O'Brien are charged with having sold
liquors on election day, November 2.
The complaint sets forth that liquors
are sold by women who opwrate dives.
One of these houses is said to exist at
Fourteenth and Jackson. Jcanctte
Williams, 613 South Fourteenth street,
is named as another violator of the
daylight saloon law. Liquors are al

plaint to Iw a young politician, is

begin ouster proceedings against the

Dahlman has never missed an oppor
tunity to slap decency in the face,"
said Senator Patrick. State Journal.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
UNDER DISCUSSION
The State Platlorm lor 910 DIs
cussed Very Fully.
LINCOLN, Nov 11. Mayor Jim
Dahlman came down from Omaha yes
terday and in a joint convention con
sisting of himself, W. J. Bryan and
Edgar Howard of the Columbus Tele
gram, discussed the platform for next
year and other things of importance.
The. conference was called by Mr.
Bryan, but why Governor Shallen
berger was not invited was not made
public, though possibly that may not
be necessary.
It is said that Mr. Bryan insisted
that the democrats should put county
option in their platform, but Dahl
man and Howard just as strongly in
sisted that it should be kept out.
Governor Shallenbcrger will insist
upon standing upon his eight o'clock
closing record, and does not care
whether county option is in the plat
form or not.
Mr. Brynn announced after the con
ference that he would not be a candi
date for the United States senate, un
less conditions demand it. He said:
"I appreciate the compliments that
have been paid me by the democrats
tonight, but republicans in the legis
lature paid me a compliment even more
flattering. They opposed the adoption
of the Oregon plan on the ground that
it was intended to elect me to the sen
ate. By making the objection they
virtually declared that I could be
elected if the voice of the people would
be made effective. I thank them for
this certificate of my popularity but I
need not tell my friends that I was ac
tuated by higher motives than person
al ambition in urging the passage of the
measure.
"The principle is right anil I am in
favor of it, no matter what party or
what person may get the benefit of it.
If you will pardon the reference to my
own plans I will tell you that I do not
desire to occupy a scat in the senate.
There are a number of men at this ban-
quct board and others in the state who
I would rather see elected than to be
elected myself. I am in a posotion
where I can go anywhere and find an
audience. My election to the senate
would hot add to the number of dem
ocrats in public life. The election of
some other democrat from Nebraska
would add one more. "
Since then utterances of friends of
Governor Shallenbcrger indicate that
he desires to make the race again for
governor, mainly that he may secure
a vindication of his policy in signing
the daylight saloon bill. The common
statement is that sentiment within
the party will force him into this raco
rather than the senatorial one.
The scheme proposed is that the
democrats espouse county option so as
to have that plank as well as the re
publicans. This would eliminate that
factor from the election and allow the
democrats to center on national issues.
It is fondly hoped, and believed, by
many democrats that if Bryan and
Shallenbcrger could head the ticket
and the issue be made a national one
the entire state, legislative and con
gressional tickets could bo carried by
them.
Handed a Bunch.
County Attorney Ramsey was hand
ed a bunch yesterday in Judge Travis's
court which he was not looking for.
It was in the matter of Baylor vs. But
ler. The case was called for hearing on
motion to quash bill of exceptions.
The court had previously issued a man
damus compelling Justice Patterson
to settle bill of exceptions according to
law. Under advice of County Attor
ney Ramsey he failed to obey orders of
the court, hence the package which
was handed to the c. a. The court in
formed Ramsey that all orders of the
court must be obeyed. Without such
obedience there would be no law or
order and anarchy would bo the result.
He was given to understand that the
court orders must be obeyed implicit-
iy.
Chicken Pie Supper.
The annual chicken pie supper given
by the ladies of ' tho Presbyterian
church Thursday evening in the base
ment of the church was the"best ever"
in every way. Those in chargo of the
tables vied with each other to make
their tabic the most beautiful. All
were loud in praise of the coffee. At
one time all of the tables were filled
and the room was full of people pa
tiently waiting to be served. Every
body had a good time and enjoyed a
most excellent supper.
