The clearing of Tlllnmn is about what might have been expected of a South Carolina jury , but it will not be able to convince the public gener ally that shooting down a man In cold blood was not some sort of crime , punishable In some manner. South Carolina is In need of mis sionaries , or reformers , or both. The nominees for the county of fices are hustling with a right good will , and the fight is the only one that appears to be anything llko strenuous in the campaign. Workers - ors ot both parties are In the Held anil it will be surprising it' they do not create the interest necessary to get the voters out to the polls. It is anticipated that Norfolk and Madison county will give a strong complimentary vote regardless ot party for their home candidate for I a state honor Judge .1. 15. llarnes. i ; I Ho is admired by his neighbors , re h < gardless of political preference and his friends wish to see him given n handsome endorsement by those \l \ who Unow him best.

Iloyd will be re-elect- eil , beyond a reasonable doubt , but the many friends of ex-.ludge COUCH are allowing no opportunity to pass of saying a good word for their can didate and II. will Htand the republi cans In hand to wage a sharp con test throughout the district during the remaining two weeks , if they fall to make an effort they need not lie disappointed If there Is a reduc tion of the republican majority or perhaps a turning over of the dis trict to the fiislonlstfl. Over conll- deuce will make Inroads in the republican - publican vote , If no effort Is miido to get the voters out. Perhaps the people of Nebraska will enter an energetic campaign next year with a national campaign on , but so far this year , except in county lights and rcmoto localities , It appears that this campaign will go down Into history as ono of the calmest , ( | uletost , most peaceful and good nalured of any campaign during recent years. The people generally arc * pleased to notice the absence of bitterness and mud-slluging , which should never again be revived. They can approximate a decision just as well and effectuallly without It and really It Is no Inspiration to see the characters of men torn from them merely because they are candidates for olllco. The opinion of workers In the Held of politics Is that this Is a re publican year In Nebraska , and Unit ticket will surely win If the voters can bo Interested enough to got them out to the polls. It Is an off year for politics , and many of the voters have not yet been Interested to the point of enthusiasm , but the workers are confident that every thing Is favorable for a republican victory If the rank and Illo of the party can bo induced to appear at the various polling places and cast chief work of the committees and party workers to got the voters out and the hustle will conio ou eloc- tlon day. This has been a strong point for the fuslonlsts. They have worked untiringly to get their vote out In the past , and unless the re publicans employ llko tactics they may succeeed in carrying the elec tion. Kvory republican should make it a point to Interest those who are apathetic and get them to turn out and vote. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. How many kin stories the people know. Fist lights arc not as common these days as formerly , and that's progress. An Atchlson man is ruining his natural disposition by trying to bo agreeable. When we hear a man say that he has a conscience , wo watch him a little more closely. We have remarked that a good re publican can produce figures that put everything on the democrats. After women marry they can be said to be reasonably happy If they don't spell brute with a big n. Whenever we read an obituary we. are impressed with the fact that people must be better than we thought they were. Kvory day in this big wide world some man Is married who never said outright to the girl beside him , "Will you marry me ? " They are telling of an Atchlson man who gave a compliment to a clerk who worked for him , and the next day the clerk asked for an in crease in wages. We are never sorry when a man is held up in a saloon ; on the con trary , we hope his wife will hear of it , and hold him up again when he gets homo. A change is good for every ono , which is the reason the average housewife shifts the bed , and bureau from tholr positions ; it is the only change of scenery Hhe gets. Newspapers are often abused after lids fashion : A man started a card room back of a cigar store. The men played high llvo there , and the proprietor made a great talk about the U cal papers because they did not print the scores. Mathlas Hush , a merchant of 1'ana , 111. , shot and hilled himself yester day boccauso his wife insisted upon going to church , thus enabling- her to go more than ever in the future , and receive morotitontinn than ever because she has a husband in hell. At a recent divorce trial in Topeka - poka , brought by the wife , the hus band introduced seven doctors , who swore that , although the wife had long pretended to bo sick , there was nothing the matter with her. The husband swore ho had spent ? 1S,000 in doctor bills. The Jurymen gave the wife everything the husband had ; they said he was brutal. LONDON'S SHOPLIFTERS. Mi-flnnl * llnililoynl by Hiniir of thr Slurc * to Atnlil ArrcMlM. Though ( here Is every iip | > oiminre In all the grent London sbopM that Hie imhlli' IM to ! Inisit'd Implicitly , an cliilmnilo ami carefully organl/cd sys tem nl'e ploimgc prevails to rlivuin- vent tin1 design * of Hie p""li > alctlc thief and Hie marauding klcplomnu ic. The invisible detective , whose olllco Is some unsiiMpi'clcd gallery In the celling , whence from artfully diMlKiird | n > eiliiili'4 | In the molding be can sur vey the whole establishment , Is the most snrrosHi'ul foil to the shoplifter. Hut there are only a few shopso slniciurally designed thai surveillance of ( Ids kind Is possible. Koine uf Hie Jewelers' treasure palaces are guarded In this manner , and to make assurance doubly sure no attendant Is without bin satellite , who keeps a wary e.\e on the cases of gems exposed to the riis- tomers' Inspection , standing at Hie SMlesmnn's elbow while he Is showing them. At all periods a careful watch Is kept on Ilinsc dress establishments that are pervaded by women , bill more espe cially nt sale lime , for It Is then that covetotisness overwhelms morality must easily , and the crowded state of the shops favors I he picker up of uncon- Bldcred trltle.s. A manager of one of the largest establishments In the me tropolis Mays It Is In those departments that lire not spacious that pilfering principally goes on and that In them detective supervision Is always most acute. Kvery shopwalker and counter at tendant Is In effect a detective , but there are some professionals who as sume the guise to bide their real posi tion. It Is the duty of each attendant when he Is suspicious of a customer to call the attention of the detective to her , not blatantly , but by prearranged sign. The detective then keeps the sus pect under her immediate eye. In Hie large emporiums where women chiefly congregate the most elllclent , because the least conspicuous , detectives are women , either emploicd as tdiopwalk- , era or as customers. When mi attendant misses or thinks he misses something or notices disturb ing signs of thievery be speaks to the detective , who , as an elegantly garbed customer , seats herself In a position commanding a good view of the sus pect and makes her purchases like any other woman , all the while gathering ilntn upon -which to proceed , 'i he dis guise assumed by the shop detective differs day by day. If there be one result less desired by the shop proprietor than another It Is to convict a kleptomaniac. Prosecutions do not forward business. The proprie tor's policy Is to prevent pilfering by every conceivable means. Hence a blind eye Is turned to what is a theft In em bryo , and the wretched shoplifter caught In the act of purloining a blouse under cover of her waterproof Is asked whether the article may not be sent home for her. To the bulging umbrella or the gaping handbag the detective al ludes with an apology , fearing that madam lias Inadvertently Incommoded herself with something that fell from the counter. First offenders are often cured by narrow escapes such as this from fallIng - Ing Into the abyss that leads to the dock and gladly pay for the experience in coin of the realm as If they had all the while meant to purchase instead of to purloin the goods. Should leniency of such a kind fall to lead the trespass er back Into the paths of rectitude the manager's olllco Is made the scene of more serious negotiations , on which it Is well to draw the veil. Hut as a rule It does not. London Mall. Milking Old Kurnltiirr. Much work Is done In New York city In the reproduction of colonial and English furniture , hut the best of it costs more to do here than It does abroad. Large quantities of modern "antiques" are also made In Philadel phia and arc extensively sold as genu ine. The cleverest reproducers In the world are the French , who copy the minutest details with perfect accuracy. Old wood from sheds and barns Is used for the backs and interior of articles of furniture , and Imitations of old fash ioned locks are soaked In water and made to be thickly covered with rust. 111 nl shot Is tired Into the'reproduc tions to make them appear worm cat- en. and an ancient look IM Imparted to wood by prolonged polishing and band rubbing.

From Hli/.a Uuhamah Scldiuorc's "Winter India. " Mnprrxl II Ion of tin * l.illni'U.v Tlilrtri'ii When King Arthur founded the fa mous round ( able he requested Merlin , th" enchanter , to arrange the seats. Merlin arranged one set of seats to rep resent the apostles. Twelve were for the faithful adherents of Jesus Christ ind the thirteenth for the traitor Judas. The llrst were never occupied save by ( nights distinguished for their achieve ments , and when a death occurred among them the seat remained vacant until a kulglit surpassing him In heroic and warlike attainments should be con sidered worthy to III ! the place. If an unworthy knight sought the chair ho was repelled by some magic power. The thirteenth scat was never occu pied but once. The story goes that a haughty and Insolent Saracen knight sat down upon it and was Immediately swallowed up by the earth. Kver afler It was known as the "perilous scat , " and , brave as the celebrated knights of the round table are said to have bnen , not one ever had the courage to sit on the thirteenth chair , and the supersti tion against It still survives. Wiitrli it linric'H Hnr.H Wlirii Driving. Whether you drive a single horse or a team the principles are the same , but In driving a pair see to it that each horse does his share of the work and no more. A pair of horses , moreover , unless well driven are sure to get in the habit of wandering over the road. To drive well you must keep your eye and your mlnd _ ou the horse. Watch his oars. They will be pricked forward when ho Is about to shy , droop when he is tired , lly back just before he "breaks" ( Into a gallop ) and before he kicks. Hoforo. kicking , too , a horse usually tucks In his tail and hunches his back a little. When you observe any of these Indications , speak to him sharply and pull up bis head. li'x mill Di-ntli. The custom of placing the property of the dead In their graves has always been followed by the true Romany gypsies. It Is due to sumo old tradition of 111 luck attending the possession of an article whose former owner is gone , and much valuable property Is burled in this belief. There Is also a senti ment among gypsies against the pos session of anything that has bulengcd to a dead person , because it serves to remind the living of the departed and Inspire In them a dread of death. The custom of burying their property with gypsy dead dates from the earliest his tory of the Romany tribes. PlrM Tent of Ilio Vlr PIIIIIII.
