REMOVING HAIR FROM ARMS
A Society Woman Preparing fol
Triumphs in Bathing Dress.

There is a woman doctor in town
who is waging the most successful
warfare against the ofttimes deplorable
blemiSh to beauty, the femme mus
tache. She has little parlor up a
winding stair-a tiny place with sofa
and easy chairs, small table with a
case of tiny tweeZers of various sizes. a
vase of perfumed water, two or three
small vials of liquid and hand mirror.

So she sits patiently and has them

loosens and destroys the roots of the
hairs. These are then drawn gently
and firmly forth, great care being
taken to pull them in the dt

that the cell where they are implanted
may not be larcerated, as that would
tend to roughen and scar the skin. 1t

the result is eminently satisfactory, and

New YORK, Aug. 1S.-Divine Deacon
Shepard has been working Matt Quay's
yarns for all they were worth concern
ing alleged dissensions in the
Democratic national committee. The
gist Of the story is to the eff
feet that Calvin S. Brice has not
proved satisfactory and that Senator
Arthur p. German had been selected to
take his plaae as chairman of the ma
tional executive committee. The
following is his statement bear
ing upon the matter, and
shows how desperate the Republican
managers have become and to what
yarns they will resort in order to cover
up their own troubles. Mr.. German
said: ''My attention has been called to
the charges made against Mr..
Brice There is not word of
truth in such statement regarding the
committee. The fact IS, that after care
full consideration Mr.. Brice was selected
as chairman of the campaign committee
and his acceptance was
FAVOR TO THE PARTY.
and great sacrifice on his part. His
conduct of the campaign since his ac-
ceptance shows that he is the right man
in the right place. My deliberate judg-
ment is that the party has never
man at the helm. There is no
conflict between him and the president
or any member of the convention. He
is pursuing intelligently and actively
the only course that it is possible
for him to follow. The national
committee has not at any time
framed the issues OF the campaign
and cannot do so. These issues are de-
fined by the actions and declarations
of the president, and by the representa-
tives of the party in congress and by the
platform of the national convention.
So that at this stage of the
canvass, their is nothing for the chair
man of the committee to do except to
get the party leaders in line, print and
distribute matter that has already been
made up by speeches delivered
in congress and by the declarations
of the president. The field is
a limited one for the chairman and l
say that he has purSured it diligently
and intelligently. If the enemy can find
any comfort in these manufactured
statements, wholly devoid of truth, let
them go on in that line and we
Will pursue our course, presenting the
| grave issues of the contest as intelli-
gently as we can to the public, and no.
body. who has faith in the Demo-
cratic party has the slight
est question that the con-
duct of the party's affairs by
|. Col. Brice, will continue to be as it has
been up to this time, able and intelli-
! gent When the president shall have
issued his letter OF acceptance
and the Republicans have shown
their hand as to what is to
be done with the tariff in the
senate, then the campaign will be
gin in earnest. L think it is safe to as
sure the Democrats that there will then

GOOD SHORT STORIES.
The Haste to Get Rich.

II honestly believe that this fever of
speculation, this craze to get something
for nothing, this craving for sudden
riches, no matter how they come, con-
tains the elements of far greater danger
to our whole people than any possible
turn of the political weather-coek. 1t is
a contagion more insidious and fatal
than any epidemic, and it is spreading
from the great centers of speculation
and gambling out among all classes and
conditions of people in a manner to
alarm every thoughtful observer"
The speaker, says the Rambler, of the
Pittsburg Dispatch, was a member of
one of our most conservative and
reliable banking firms, which also does
a largeaand strictly legitimate invest
ment business. With the words quoted
above he. had concluded an earnest and

THEY CHANGED A DATE.
Fifth District Democrats Nominate a
Congressman Later.
JUDGE REA WILL ACCEPT.
Maj. Newson Comes Back in Saw
age Fashion at a Little Faded
Flower.

The date of the Fifth district Demo-
cratic congressional convention, called
to meet at Fergus Falls, has been
changed from Sept. to Sept. II by
Chairman SchmitZ. The first date COM
ing as it did, just one day before the Re-
publican state convention, was unfavor-
able to large attendance and to that
political action on the part of the con-
yentiOn which is necessary.
The convention will have before it an
excellent opportunity to meet the de-
mands of the farmer voters who firmly
refuse to support Comstock.
If candidate is nominated there
favorable to the farmer interests and
the Scandinavian vote, an immense hole,
at the least, can be made in the Repub-
lican vote.
Comstock is thought to be dividing his
Influence in the district between McGill
and Merriam, both candidates unfavor-
ably looked upon by the farmers. His
railroad record and legislative course
weaken him as well.
Three names are being considered by
the Democrats of the district as fit for a
congressional nomination. They are
those of Charles E. Canning, G. P. Ma
glnniS and T. B. Marsh, Jr.
-
Positive assurance has been received
from Judge Rea that if he receives the
Republican nomination for congress
from his district he will accept it. He
said this privately some time ago, but
the same was not made public until
yesterday.
Fletcher in engineering the Rea boom
appears to have the idea that McGilPs
nomination is certain and that the nom-
ination of Rea in that event will help
the state ticket in Hennepin and the
upper counties.
