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

being exposed 'in open court by
the fearless prosecutor. '
Universal sympathy is extend

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

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.

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-

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

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

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. In the language of our
American cousins oh, my!" '
