He was called "'Sissy" because he was short 'and sJiMbTaud effeminate. ' The diabolical plot to assassin ate Francis " J.' Heney. at San Francisco last week adds anothef chapter to the disgraceful scenes that have brought shame to the fair name of . .that state during . the past few years. While in the (.vtivtuiauvc vi mo uutfjr , lie vvao shot down by a 1 man crazed at being exposed 'in open court by the fearless prosecutor. ' Universal sympathy is extend ed by all good citizens, to Mr, Heney and the ' sorrowful wife who is tenderly watching by the bedside of the stricken husband, He has. done a noble . work and it is the earnest wish of all good . citizens that, his lifp . mnv Via spared to finish the work of puri fying the atmosphere of public life in high places..- Aided by his wonderful grit and strong will power there is a strong probability that he will re cover. ' Haas was convicted of embez zlement in San Bernardino coun. ty, and on May 25, 1888, was sen tenced to three . years in San Quentin. ' He served two years and eight months, having earned four months by good behavior, and was released January 25, 1890. Some years later he was married and has a wife and four children. He lived with his fam ily at 1848 McAllister street, San Francisco, and was engaged in the saloon business at the time he was drawn on the jury panel for the second trial of Ruef last May. After he had been passed that he was an ex-convict. He dramatically confronted Haa3 with his picture in convict stripes, closely-cropped hair and number across hisbrest. Haas was forced to admit his pentitentiary record and was immediately discharged from the jury. From his state ment it appears that he had been brooding over his exposure ever since that day, and has nursed a deep hatred of Mr. Heney. which culminated in the tragedy. . , 4 V VW JJWVVv wumw man,',' declared Mr. Heney on the operating table at the Central Emergency llospital,- while the surgeons were probing his wound. The wounded man was entirely conscious and Vrittily endured the ordeal. Mrs. Heney arrived Political philosophers will no- at the hospital a few minutes af-Jtice that a Solid North continues ter her husband had been taken to be the answer to a Solid South. It win no longer, be denied. ,that Missouri has aligned icself-with the Republican party. The Re publican party in the state has steadily grown faster, than any other and the outcome has been a mathematical certainty.. Yet the Bourbon element that dominated the state refused to the last to read the signs aright or to change its methods. - What is called the Old Guard made a desperate and reckless effort to recover control of the state and to-some extent, hastened its own final overthrow, but it was doomed' in any'cae' by the' general march Tof events." . tAt last Missouri politics , has', been modernized and. Jth.,state. put in just balance with its important position. -- - - - ' - - -X p Missouri is one of - the greatest states in its varied - business0 in terests . and ; increasingly aware that national-' policies 'are" Inti mately related to it" pVdsperity. The state is one of the ioremqst in manufacturing, and mining as well as agriculture. ; , . As these ac tivities: grow the state is. swayed by facts and arguments rather than the sentiment of the rhetor ically eloquent campaign orator. Nebraska went back to Bryan 6n the strength of his pathetic per'- sonal appeals ahef state pride,, but the Bryan majority, in Missouri that was 60.QCO in. 1896 dwindled down iul9o0 and. practically van-; ished in 1908. Missouri sees that it cannot trust a free trader or a chameleon ' expert in contriving new issues and ccolJy'discardihg old ones.' Considerations'1, that have made Republican Ith'efirstl second, third and fourth states of the Union "haveStiad the" same ef- fect on Missouri, the fifth state. The. congressional gains in this state are due to a closer popular study of the necessity of the pol icy of protection.- J i Missouri re -fortunate in its choice of its first Republican governor- since 1872, with" Republi can associates to strengthen him in the Jweigh'ty work', of reform that has long been' waiting a full change of parties, in. the tate... It is hoped, that the Legislature will be in harmony with the new or der of things.- If: reactionary the people will settle with- it env phatically when another General Assemoiy is elected two years hence. A capable governor is a powerful agency for doing things. The Republican state ticket gen erally was composed .of, tested a well as able men. . Governor elect Hadley has been called to station by the unanimous voice of party and many marks of appro val outside of it. He is under no obligations except those he vol untarily assumed. He is pledged to the general welfare of . the state and a fair deal for, every, one. He has the best wishes of his fellow citizens for a success ful administration. Globe Dem ocrat. The most deadly poison in the world is the one for -which there is no known test. Are we using our member of speech correctly? This was the question asked and answered by Rev. D. H. Leech of the M. E. church last Sunday morning. George Geis has purchased the Wilson restaurant and has con solidated and moved the same to The Elk restaurant, .opposite Kline's store, which he opened two weeks ago. , It now seats 75 to 100 persons. . . 'Jr iThe jjqnug man had accompanied a" mena to isew xorK to see mm off for Europe. ' The steamer'" salted" In "the afternoon, and .soon after , her depar-t ture i "Sissy" fell in with' a. couple, of .;j college chums. A dinner and a trip to i Chinatown 'were plaiined and came "off. ', The effeminate was only pre feet alL ' and his weight was: only 110 pounds, and his voice vas like ' that tof; a gii-L but when'heVut loose fo'havea good time he was all there. The trio were slumming the slums in the most ap proved fashion when a row took place, and ''Sissy"-, was separated from his? companions:- He hadlmbibe'd too'much" to know whether he was In Baltimore or Boston or to make much of a de fense, and at the end of five minutes he, was very much in the hands of the PHnistrnes1. ; The' gang'florirea him 'and went through him up to his collar but? ton. They dragged him inj:6',a cejlarj. stripped off his clothes and gave him an old Bowery suit In exchange and. left him to come'to' r-pass5 in his checks. He was in an undecided state when the keeper, of a Cherry eftreetj boarding house came along and took In the situation. He also took. "Sissy" in. He wanted one more hand te-mak-4 up a crew for a bark sailing for Bris tol next day, and it made very little difference' whether he got a Uve or a dead -man. i:- - When "Sissy" Floss, awoke . next morning Tie was lying in a bunk in the deck. house of the White Wings, which craft war at anchor off Liberty- island and mkjng ready to begin her v.oyage." He dldD't awake until .he was being pulled out of his bunk by the second mate, who was also damning his eyes, bis ears; his nose and other portions of his anatomy In- the' language of the deep blue 'sea. After 'being landed on the floor with1 a tmmp the young man was kicked' out' on deck .and then up. and 'down the decks. This .was to. arouse his enthusiasm-f op a life on the ocean wave. "Sissy" realized almost at once that he, was being booted, but' it took him some time to figure but why he 'wasn't In his room at the Wal dorf. 'While he was puzzling oyer It be was booted some1 more and the bark got under way.. She was VpnV Fire .is- land before the : victim feot it through- his head that he had been shanghaied and was being carried to sea.T A pro test was in order, and "Sissy" , went aft to ,the captain to make it.' , m ' " "What are 'you doing, here?" roared that officer. ' 1 1 . '; 1 r,! ' "I want to state my case." ; " "Case? ' Ton miserable -little sk'ulker, what bave you got to say for yourself? Out With it!" ' . :-i v.The story was told. The captain lis :tened to; it, with a grin and a sneer on his face,, and. then exclaljed: v . ; "You are a blankety-biank liar! You signed articles of your own free will. You are a pickpocket or a green goods man that wants to get away from 'the police . for awhile. Turn to and 'don't let me hear another word. If you keep this thing up there wont be. as, much aa an eyebrow left of you by the time we reach the other side." ' . J - ' J - ."Sissy" started to protest and was kicked off the poop. In going forward he was cuffed by the chief, mate.and kicked, by the . second, and, although more fit for the hospital . than : the decks of a. ship, he was turned to and set to work. From that time on his days were anything but joyous, , He was a protesting sailor. In the eyes of captain, and- mates he could not be a worse villain. He was made ship's boy. Nothing was too dirty to set him at The cook stood in with the after guard and gave him' many a kick and A cuff, and the nearer the bark got : to England's shores the worse, the mates hazed, him., ; . ; u ; ', After the first. Interview with the captain "Sissy" made no more pro tests. He began to rise to the occa sion. He recorded the kicks and cuffs in a diary. The last entry was made when- three days from port. . He neg lected : to add "sir" when answering the second mate' and was knocked down and given a pair of black eyes. Then as soon ' as the bark had made fast to a wharf he was kicked ashore and told not to return under penalty of death. Two hours a(ter the last kick the young man had satisfied the American consul of his identity. A cablegram to Chicago brought him several thousand dollars within the next twenty-four tours. Two days later, when he had properly clothed himself, be brought i about another emergency. This time it was for the captain, mates and cook of the bark, to rise to it- .Warrants were served , on the four men war rants for several things. The bark was overloaded by a foot. Her provisions were totally unfit. She was under manned, and 8 he carried no medicine chest Not only the officers, but the owners, were haled into court. There were fines, and certificates were sus pended, and as a last satisfaction "Sis sy" stood by, with a Joyous smile on his face, while his two hired prize fighters caught the two mates at the dock and gave them such a walloping that there are sailors in Bristol who remember It yet. As a local dany put It the next week: "Hon. Barkendale Flossy, the Amer ican millionaire of honorable mention, sailed for home, on the Celtic yester day. The gentleman Is slight and ef feminate, but.
