What Next 2

"New York has got another beautifying
catchpenuy. He is French surgeon, a
graduate of the School of Medicine, Paris.
He makes dimples on ladies' faces, fully
equal to the natural article. "a natural
dimple,' says he, is simply slight hollow
between to muscles, and the skin is more
firmly attached to the subjacent tissues at
this point than at other points. Hence,
when the muscles contract, as in the act of
smiling, the skin is drawn into the hollow,
forming dimple. make a puncture in
the skin at the point where the dimple is
required-a puncture that cannot be no.
ticed when it is healed--and with very
delicate instrument remove small port
tion of msucle then excite a slight inf1a-
nation, which attaches the skin to the sub
cutaneons hollow have formed. In few
days the wound-if wound it may be called
has healed, and charming dimple is the
result"

A Counterfeit Curiosity.

A curiosity in the shape of a counterfeit
has been received at the secret service bu-
reau. 1t is trade dollar, which has been
neatly scooped out in the center, leaving
only thin plate on each side. The cavity
was filed with solder, and the edges bound
with rim of silver which had been skill
fully milled in exact imitation of the genu-
inc work. The remarkable feature about
the coin is that the weight and ring of the
genuine coin had been successfully imitat-
ed, and the coin was detected only by the
merest accident. From the fact that the
work was of such character and such a
small profit was realized, it is believed
that it was done in China and sent over
to this country. This method of robbing
Uncle Sam is not unknown in this country,
but it is seldom that the skill is ro.
quisite for the work is satisfied with the
small profit arising from the manufacture
of coins of small denominations. Gold
coins of the denomination of $40 and $40
have frequently been doctored in this way.

A Nice City to Live in.

New YORK, August 22,-About four
o'clock this morning gang of five thieves
boarded one of the Third-avenue horse cars
on the Bowery near Spring street. and
first robbed the driver of $1.41. When
the conductor came to the forward plat
form to collect their fare they rushed past

money. One passenger was lifted bodily
out of the car, knocked down and kicked
into the street. 1t is said that a policeman
came along, when some one said to him ::
It's all right, Jackson" and he made no
arrest. The plan of the thieves was SO we'll

Exciting Discussion.

An old citizen Of Allegany county, Md,
stopped at Baltimore recently on his way
to this city, and met Somerset county
man who was also going to Philadelphia.
He wanted to take the o'clock train from
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroads President-street depot and
got policeman to wake him up an hour
too soon. He ate his breakfast at the
depot, and while in the restaurant he met
the Somerset man. They got to talking
politics over their coffee, and while they
talked the o'clock train started, leaving
them. They swore they wouldn't miss
the 8 o'clock train, and went on talking
They again got deeply interested in the po-
litical situation, and stopped in time to
see the 8 O'Clock train for Philadelphia
three squares away and just turning out of
sight. They resolved not to go out again,
but to fool around the depot" till the
1918 train left Having breakfasted in
big hurry before o'clock, they felt hun
CRY, and took another meal While they
were eating and discussing politics, little
colored boy, who had seen them disappoiut-
ed twice, said, Gentlemen, de 1918 train
am going" They rushed after it with
their napkins still hanging at their necks,
but that train was too far gone. Fortunate
ly, they got the next train after that
Politics is very absorbing sometimes.

ABOUT CONGRESSMAN.

The democrats of the second Wisconsin dis
trict think about running Col. William F. Villas,
the eloquent lawyer. for congress this fall. Two
years ago the vote stood, Caswell (Rep), - ,6O7 !;
Davis (l'em.) $500 Tenney (greenbacker)
1916. As Davis was about as much of a fiat
lunatic as Tenney, and as Tenney was a little
more of a democrat than Davis, the democrats
figure the district down to the doubtful point;
Caswell having majority of only 729.- Chicago
Tribune.
We pointed out last week the closeness
of this district, and showed that in 1874
and 1876 it would have been carried by
the democrats if the republicans had not
made sufficient gains in Jefferson county
to save the day. Mr.. Caswell's running
qualities have been tested, and he has
carried the district against the most popu-
lar democrats who could be pitted against
him. A new and untried man, who is
not well known throughout the district,
and who cannot carry more than his par
ty vote, might be elected, but why take
chances when we have a candidate at
hand who has been successful three times
against great odds, who will run hun
dreds of votes ahead of his ticket, and
who cannot be beaten even by SO strong
an opponent as Col. Villas? We say this
with proper Difference to other gentle
men who are spoken of as candidates.
for either of whom, if nominated, the re-
publicans in Jefferson county will do
their very best. But it may as well be
understood that we can roll up more
votes here for Mr. Caswell than for any
one else His admirable and plucky
canvass in 1874 and 1876 when his per-
sonal popularity alone saved the district
from passing into democratic hands, and
the fidelity, ability and care with which
he has discharged his duties in congress,
have given him fresh laurels, and he is
to-day stronger than he ever was before.
To throw him overheard now would show
want OF appreciation OF the hercu-
lean efforts made by him and his
friends in Jefferson county to preserve
republican ascendancy in the district,
when but for them all would have been
lost; and would inspire the democrats
with hopes of success which they will not
cherish for moment if Mr.. Caswell is
re-nominated

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABoJ'T 1T

A Milwaukee correspondent of The
Inter Ocean writes to that paper as fol-
lows concerning the congressional out
look in this district:
The second district consists of Dane, Column
bia, Sank and Jefferson counties, and is at pres
ent represented by the Hon. L.. B. Caswel, who
is serving out his third term The call for the
convention to nominate Mr.. CasWells successor
is already issued, and there will be lively con-
test over the nomination, each Of the four coun-
ties having a candidate. Mr.. Caswell is the
choice of Jefferson county, Senator Burrows, of
Dane, Senator Woodman, of Sank, and ex-Sen-
ator Bowman, of Columbia. The question of
rotation in office, as well as locality, will cut
something of figure in the case, In point Of
ability and fitness, the different candidates stand
about on the same plane, except that Mr.. Cas-
well has the advantage of having had an ex
perience of three terms in congress. The district
is SO close that it requires union and harmony
among the, republicans to carry it. Two years
ago Mr.. CaswelPS majority over the combined
votes of Davis (democraD and Tenney green
backer)'was less than SO0 This year the green
back question is not likely to make any show in
the canvass.
On the democratic side an effort will be made
to get Colonel William F. Villas, of Madison to
accept the nomination. and if he consents it
Will make the issue doubtful, as he is one of the
most popular men in the democratic party
Villas was offered the empty honor of a nomina-
ton for governor by the democracy last fall
which he wisely declined, and his friends say
that he cannot and will not risk the loss of a fine
law practice for the sake Of running for con-
gress Mr.. Caswells denomination and re-elec-
ton, under the circumstances, are events likely
to happen.
The Watertown Democrat mournfully
gives utterance to the following
L. b. Caswell will undoubtedly receive ti,e
termination for congress for the fourth time AS
a democrat we could wish that some other man
would be the republican candidate
Here is striking proof of the dismay
which Mr. CaswelPs nomination would
create in the opposition ranks. Demo
Gratis understand perfectly well that Mr..
Caswell is our strongest man, and they
would gladly have the republicans NOM
mate some once else. 1t would he well
for our convention to not crafty them in
this respect.

SOUTHERN Claims.

IF there is one thing nearer than an
other to the heart of the southern demo-
crat it is the hope that the government
will some day recognize his claims for
damages sustained during the war. For
every mule he lost; for every hen coop
invaded; for every foot of fence burned
in making fires to cook our boys food;
for the use of his barns and dwellings oc-
cupied for shelter; and for every con-
ceivable item that can be trumped up to
make raid upon the public treasury, he
expects in due time to receive ample
compensation. And all this he imagines
will come to pass when the democrats get
into power Thousands of these claims
have already been presented i'll congress,
and are temporarily pigeon-holed by
democratic committees, knowing that a
republican president now stands between
them and their payment To show that
this is no idle talk, read the following
from The Little Rock Ark Gazette, a
rabid democratic organ
After the surrender and the presidents procla-
maticn of peace, the southern states and south
ern people were restored to the Union, and to all
the rights guaranteed by the constitution, eX-
cept such as had been forfeited by the war and
by laws of congress If after that time a tax
yypS uncOuStitrltiOnnllv levied IDOn the neOnle of
the south, or their property forcibly and uplaw-
fully taken by the government, we have the
right to demand compensation therefor.

DEsERT1oNs from the democratic ranks

DEsERTIoNs from the democratic ranks
are so numerous that space cannot be al
lotted for mention of all of them
Among the latest and most prominent is
Judge Rufus P. Rainey, of Cleveland, O..
a distinguished lawyer and always, until
now, leading democrat. In announc-
ing his intention to no longer act with
that party, he says:
General Hancock has no record as a states
man. has go knowledge ofpolitics or politicians;
and in case of election, his administration would
be that of a military man. Do the democrats
who have had so much to say Of late in regard
to bayonet rule, desire any kind of a president?
1t is safe to say they desire any kind of Presi-
dent they think they can elect They will con-
cede anything for the hope of victory. But like
the case of Horace Greeley, they generally con-
cede to mucn. They become inconsistent and
show that their only desire is office. The great
giant known as the American people desires CON
sistency, and rebukes every baretaced attempt to
gain office at the expense of principle

THEN AND NO ".

Gen. Hancock, in his letter of accept
ance, says, the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the constitution
of the United States, embodying the re-
suits of the war for the Union, are invio-
liable IF called to the presidency [
should deem it my duty to resist with all
my power any attempt to impair or evade
the full force and effect of the constitu-
ton which in every article, section and
amendment is the supreme law of the
land In 1868, he also wrote a letter
indorsing Seymour and Blair, and APP
plauding the work of the convention
which placed them in nomination. Now
read the following plank in the platform
then adopted which Gen. Hancock in
dorsed, and mark his inconsistency" We
regard the reconstruction acts (so-called)
of congress, as such, as usurpations and
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void. !"
The question now is, was Gen. Hancock
sincere then.or is he sincere now. If the
latter, who believes that he would if
elected, dare antagonize his party, which,
from 1868 down to the present time, has
acted on the theory that the reconstruc-
ton acts are nullity, and has done

LOUISIANA IS republican state and
with a fair election and an honest count,
Garfield and Arthur would receive its
electoral vote. The democrats know
this, and seeming to distrust "the shot
gun policy" have made sure of a demo-
cratic victory by taking the election of
presidential electors entirely away from
the people and comforting their choice
upon the democratic legislature which
was chosen year ago. A proposition to
have similar action taken in New York,
where the legislature is republican, has
greatly agitated democrats everywhere,
who claim it would be a terribly wicked
thing to do. But it is all right, in their
estimation, for the democrats to do what
they have done in Louisiana. 1t makes
a difference with them, you see, whose
OK is gored.
