In this week's State Sentinel is the following about the last candidate nominated for congress, which indicates that that paper thinks Mr.

Cake is not straightout enough to be the Prohibition party's representative: REV. CAKE PLEASE EXPLAIN. September, "Jl. in Decatur W. C.T.

U. rooms Rev. Cake said: "I have no use tor the Prohibition party May 14. Macon county convention in Decatur Rev. Cake unheard from the door of convention.

First week la July, ten days previous to the convention at Bloomington, Rev. Cake said: "No sir, I have no use for the New York Voice or any other Prohibition paper." This was said on the street in personal conversation, in front of the Syndicate block in Decatur. July 12. Though not an appointed delegate to Bloomington convention, Rev. Cake, accompanied by the editor of the People's party paper, goes to Bloomington, he makes a radical speech against saloons and Is tendered the nomination for congress, accepts and comes back to Decatur and to an old party paper he says: "Of course I'll make some speeches for the platform, but I am not in the strictest sense a party Prohibitionist.

In accepting the nomination I have not changed my position in the least. I am for the Prohibition platform because It is better, in my opinion, than that offered by any other party. For fifteen years I have not been identified with any party as a party man." NOW SOMK QUESTIONS. Has that paper misrepresented the Prohibition candidate for congress? Has Rev. Cake become a party Prohibitionist and upon what does he claim the support of the Prohibition voters? IT Rev.

Cake does not place himself right on the above statements what are the Prohibitionists going to do? IN THE POLICE COURTS. Mostly Given Up to Finishing Cases Left Over. Thompson, the colored man who came near killing young Lawson in the St. Nicholas kitchen Tuesday night, was held in bonds by Justice Shorb yesterday, to answer to a charge of assault with intent to commit murder. Lawson was too ill to go before the justice and make a complaint, so Mr.

Shorb went to Lawson, where he was in bed at the St. Nicholas. Thompson's examination was continued. He could not give bond, and went back to jail. is likely one of these days he will go to Joliet, and from what is known of him, he will not go there any too soon.

The new gates at the crossing of the Wabash and I. C. are finished and were formally accepted yesterday. H. McCourt.

superintendent of the I. and F. R. Doty, general road supervisor, were present to see how the gates worked and pronounced them entirely satisfactory. M.

B. Mills, vice president of the Bogue Mills Manufacturing company, whick makes the gates, came down from Chicago to adjust some of the more delicate parts of the apparatus. The gates will not be used until some code of signals is agreed upon by the roads using the crossing, when the old target will be torn down and the gates used instead. The results they hope to derive from the gates are greater immunity from accident at the crossing and a certainty of who is responsible Jor the accident should one occur. The apparatus Is so constructed that it Is impossible for the man In charge to have both tracks open at once.

Several accidents have occurred at the crossing here where it was Impossible to determine who wss to blame for It. One of the railroad officials remarked while here that there were some street crossings over the Central that needed gates, but the city had not demanded them and until there is such a demand the road will do nothing. The old gates at the Eldorado street crossing are working poorly and it is likely they will soon be replaced by the same air pressure gates just put In at the depot. STRAY SCRAPS.
