Then the seekers for places began 0 show np.

Thty came In droves aud he official had hardly read of his elec- loa before a dozen of his supporters had In their applications for jobs.

Besides the eputy there Is one regular clerk, and rhen business Is rushing six or seven ieople are employed, For these places Dodd has alreidy had over a bun- rei applications.

Several of these warriors will be fooled. Mr. Dodd was about his appointments last night ind said: "I have had over a hundred appllca- ilons for place) In the count; clerk's of- Ice. I dont care to give names and will say that same time will elapse be- ore man; changes are made. Now Is he bus; time In this office and It would never do to make a change now.

Even these few gifts are causing Jerr; trouble. In speaking of It he said: When the retui ns I thought my troubles were ended, but the; have oil; just begun. I think 1 will go back to Kentucky and take a good rest." Another good Republican speaking el Jerry's troubles said: "I tell you Jerr; la tied up so be can't say noth ing. That's the of'the matter." The count; treasurer has a clerk part of the time and the count; superintendent has no offices to give out. SEQUEL TOJTHE STORY.

Mr. Spauldlng Is the son of Dr. and Mrs. T. Spaldlng of Decatur and Is an admirable gentle-man In every respect, being a young man entirely free from bad habits and all worldly vices.

He was a commercial traveler for a number of yean but Is now attending medical college In St. Louis, from which Institution be will ba graduated In another fact Mrs. John Hamilton tried to (ind ler but was unable to discover her whereabouts until the day the. trial of William Sheridan's assailants when she was produced In court as a witness. Mrs.

Hamilton then saw the girl and Induced her to go home with her. Then It was the girl was led to tell her story. She said she had been working at Kretzer's place and that he had seduced her under promise of marriage. When her condition became known she said he took her to the Davis house and left her there, but first night she was there the house was raided. Having confidence in the truth of the girl's story, Mrs.

Hamilton consulted an attorney and on his advice a warrant was sworn ont. It is allged that the Davis woman was anxious to prevent the girl from falling Into the hands of friends for fear tbe fact would come ont that she was not IB years old, and there Is a heavy penalty for harboring girls under that age In houses of 111 fame. Will Continue to Give Free Passes. Concerning the recent agreement of railroad managers to curtail the pass list a prominent general manager says: "1 shall not curtail my passes, as I think I am a better judge as to who is entitled to a pass than any committee any railroad meeting may select. If I see that by giving a pass to a shipper I can get his good will and secure some good shipments over our line and Its connections I shall not hesitate to Issue the pass, and I i my competitors, despite their protests against issuing passes, will do the same thing.

But few general managers will give a pass where It Is not for the Interest of the road to do so, regardless of association agreements."
