nominees.
A reporter Of the Evening Mail
immediately interviewed Chairman
Tillinghast. Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, concerning the
matter, and he made the following
statement:
"Mr. Reid rendered bis resigna-
ton to the committee some time ago.
Being : regent Of the university, he
was afraid he was not qualified as an
elector. | called special meeting
of the State Central Committee At
Nampa to advise me as to filing the
vacancy. The other gentlemen on
the electoral ticket rendered their
resignation to that committee. The
committee by vote of nineteen to
one, the silver element seeming to
predominant, directed the campaign
committee to accept the resignation
of the three electors named at the
convention, and to substitute the
Peoples party electors.

stated in his speech Saturday night
that / received a telegram from the
National Committee to do this. This
statement is without foundation, as

Physical ImpcrfcctiOns Caused by Tight
Lacing.
The study of the matter of proportion
in the human figure during the last
fifteen years led us long ago to the be-
lief that the average civilized woman,
at least in this country, had waist too
small for the rest of her body. We will
not venture to say. as some irascible
critics have said, that the narrow
waists of our American women are pro-
1uctive of waspishness of temper, but
we have demonstrated by careful
study of the matter in hundreds Of
cases tina. the smallness of waists in
women is Il deformity, and is invariably
connected with internal deformi-
ties and morbid conditions 1t is

and so feeble, when compared with

We have enlcavoret to solve this
question by the study of the waists of

Il careful study OF the proportion of an

bass OF our study the relation of the

by dividing the waist measure By the
height, the result being the percentage
represented by the waist. In the Venus

age Am ,rican it is less than ~ per cent.
of the height. which means difference

Bad Place for u Shark.

As one of the Peninsular and Oriental
steamers was steaming up the Red Sea,
the lookout forward called the atten-
ton of the officer of the watch to the
fact that huge shark was jammed in
between the bobstay-shackle and the
stem. Investigation showed that the
monster, which was over thirty feet
long, was almost cut in two. The stem
had struck him just below the gilis,
and while his head protruded on the
starboard side, his body had slowed in
under the port bow. The sharp iron
stem had cut into the creature to the
depth of foot, and all efforts to get it
clear were unavailing. The captain at
last ordered the vessel full speed astern
and that sent the man-eater adrift
The accepted theory was that the shark
had been asleep on the surface of the
sea when struck by the swiftly-moving
steamer.-iolden DAYS.
