A Chicago dispatch says: Judgo
Hoard in tho supreme court denied
tho motion by attorneys for C. S.
Funk for immodiato trial on tho
charge of having alienated tho affec
tions of Josephine Henning. Funk, who
is general manager of tho Interna
tional Harvester company, denied ho
over knew Mrs. Henning or her hus
band, John Henning, and alleged
that the suit was brought to dis
credit the testimony he gave In tho
investigation into the election of
Senator Lorimer.
A dispatch from Gregory, S. D.,
says: The winner of number one in
tho Rosebud land lottery was Mary
J. Kendall, of 628 St. Joseph's street,
Rapid City, S. D.
With tho singing of a song entitled
"Just Before ttio Drawing, Sweet
heart," and address by Judge Witten,
who has charge of the drawing for
the 3,000 prizes in tho Rose
bud lottery, began at 10 a. m.,
Oct. 24. The greatest interest
hinged upon the winner of number
one, valued at $10,000.
A New York judge used fifteen
words to write his will. The New
York World says: Fifteen words
wore all that wero used by George
Bethune Adams, former United
States judgo for the southern district
of New York, in making his will. It
read: "I give and bequeath all my
estate to my wife and appoint her
my executrix." Judge Adams died
Oct. 8, last, at Hague, N. Y., leaving
an estate described in the petition
filed recently, as being worth "less
than $10,000."
Now a Los Angeles correspondent
has another grief for women. He
wires to the Now York World aa
follows: Tho American women aro
growing cold-blooded, like lizards,
and they are becoming deformed, and
all because of their slavery to fash
ion, asserted Prof. Franz Bergman,
late of tho University of Breslan,
Germany. "For instance," added the
professor, "the American woman is
doomed to lose the little too on each
foot tho pedal 'pinkie' unless she
takes to wearing larger shoes " Tight
shoes, by deforming the great and
little toes, retard the circulation.
Slower circulation means colder
blood. Colder blood is a progress
toward tho reptilian characteristics.
The republican secretary of state
of Nebraska has declined to permit
the name of Dan V. Stephens, demo
cratic nominee for congress in tho
Third Nebraska district' to appear on
tho populiBt ticket on the ground
that the populist convention was not
regularly called.
Dr. Cook, the fako explorer, visited
Copenhagen and undertook to deliver
a lecturo. He was driven from the
hall by a crowd of men who de
nounced him as a fraud.

A London cablegram, carried by
the United Press, says: A cabinet
committee, assisted by prominent
Irish officials, has drafted a homo
rule bill which will need a lot of
whacking Into shape heforo parlia
ment can safely be asked to vote on
it. In its present shapo the bill con
tains many 'blanks. Considerable
progress has been made, however.
The bill provides that the Irish par
liament in Dublin shall have control
over Ireland's "purely domestic af
fairs," and that it shall not restrict
or impair the authority of the im
perial parliament in Westminster.
This is a sop to those "imperialists"
who believe that Ireland seeks sepa
ration from the mother country. The
Irish parliament must not interfere
with the king's business. It will not
be permitted to make terms of peace,
or declare war, or make treaties with
foreign powers.

The Massachusetts election Is in
volved more than any other with the
national campaign of 1912. Eugene
N.. Foss, whose success constituted
tho straw that pointed tho way to
democratic control of the house of
representatives when ho was elected
to fill a vacancy from a republican
district several months before tho
1910 landslide and who subsequently
loft his seat in congress to become
the democratic governor of tho old
Bay state, is a candidate for re-election.
His republican opponent is the
present lieutenant governor, Louis
A. Frothingham.
National issues1 have been injected
into the campaign on both, sides.
The republicans, under the leader
ship of Senator Lodge, aTe defending
the Taft administration as progres
sive. Tho democrats are combating
tho Taft tariff vetoes, and whichever
way the tide tnrns on election day in
November tho victorious party out
side as well as Inside the state will
make tho most of it for moral effect
on tho country, preliminary to tho
great struggle for tho presidency.
Governor Foss has husbanded his re
sources, and is to throw al! his ener
gies into the last two weeks of the
campaign.
National interest in the New York
City contest, where tho Tammany
ticket is opposed by fusion, lies part

The elections of 1911 are described
in the Chicago Record-Herald in this
way: With the arrival of the ad
vance guard of congressmen for the
winter season and the return from
vacations of administration officials
somo attention Is being paid at the
capital to the off-year elections. In
terest is keen because of the bear
ing results in scattered sections may
have on the national elections next
year.
Governors and legislatures will
soon be chosen in a few of the states
and there will be some local elec
tions of decided importance. Gover
nors are to bo elected in Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
Knoae island and Virginia,
An interesting story is told by the
Chicago Record-Herald in this way:
A young man will knock at the gate
of Jeffersonville penitentiary, p?esent
commitment papers to the warden
and declare his willingness to begin
a prison sentence of from two to
fourteen years. The man is John
Caldwell, twenty-flve years old, sen
tenced in Hammond for conspiracy
to pad the pay roll of the Indiana
Steel company at Gary. Caldwell
left Hammond unguarded, to make
the trip to the prison city. He will
immediately seek the great Iron gate,
which, when closed, will shut him
off from the outside world until he
is restored to It by process of law.
Caldwell, when sentenced, asked the
court to permit him to deliver him
self into the custody of the warden.
He asked, because of his youth, that
he be saved the humiliation of being
led through the streets handcuffed to
a deputy sheriff, and offered to pay
his own railroad fare. Lawyers for
the steal company declared their
