The argument waxed hot about the

New York Postmaster Shot.
New York , Nov. U. Postmasler Ed-
.varel M. Morgan was seriously wound-
el lodny by Eryo Mackay , a stenog-
apher , who shot Morgan as he was
learing the subway station with his
laughter , a little girl of twelve.
Asked If It Was Morgan.
"Is this Morgan ? " Hie assailant
sked. "Yes , " was the answer.
He then placed the revolver
gainst tlio abdomen of the postmas-
er and llred a fatal shot.
Then Ended Own Life.
A moment .after he had shot the
lostnmstcr the man shot himself
hrough the dead , dying.
Morgan was taken to a hospital PS
eon as possible. It was thought that
no would die.
Morgan was operated on this morn
ing. It was found that the bullet had
not perforated the Intestines. When
this was learned it was thought that
Morgan's chances of recovery were
excellent.
In connection witli the mystery sur
rounding the motive for the shooting
it is learned that a man telephoned to
the postotllce at G o'clock this morning
requesting to see Morgan. There is
no way of tallying the description of
the assailant.
Police Smell a Plot.
Tlio police theory of the shooting

Is a Mystery.
The cause of the tragedy has not

There is a vacancy In the natlona

That committee is most friendly ti

Who walked the ice ling tlei k
And Hiialched Nebuiska'H i olors
From the Di inoe ratle wieck ,
Patch up jour tattered parly ling
And ralso U to HIP V > ky ,
Wltli "William Jetini ign Bryan
For the Senate ! " as your cry.
For years our fair Nebraska
Held the ilhhou proudly pennatu
For the longest win .led si'imtor
Thai ever stump . -d the senate.
It was William Vluco nt Allen
Uho neiver lacke d for breath ,
And he talked for fourteen IIOUI-H
Till he talked a bill to dealh , | ! r"Jl3TfllS
No other state dared trample (
On the glorious windy nanio
Of our William Vincent Allen
Of good Populist Ie fame ,
'Till Wisconsin itlev.ed the gauntlet
'Nealh the gax.e of count lens eiyoH
And put her Hob La Follcttc up
To battle for the prl/.e.
LaFolletlo Illled his maga/ino ,
Then started In to kill , ,
And for more than eighteen hours J 7
Fought the Vreel and Aldrleh bill.
'Twas a noted Illilnwter ,
Quite * a legislative slaughter ;
LaFolletto made his re'cord
With no stops for feed or wator.
Wisconsin thinks she's got no sklnuod ;
Don't think it lor a minute :
When II comes to roall ) talking ,
Bob Lnl'ollette isn't in it.
We've got a niiiti at I aintew
Who can talk a razy.lo dir/le. "
Ho can give l.al'ollette three lo tw'O
And "boat him lo a f ran/Jo ! "
Then send him down to Washington !
And "give our 1)111 ) a chance"
To talk Lal'olMte off his foot
And lay him hi a trance !
Ho cannot ' > " miv president ;
That truth Is plainly shown ;
So let him nrike the longest
Talking ii'cnr'l ever known ! , . .
