GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
w AsHINGTON, May 7.-When we go
to Chicago to the worlds fair next year
and we're all going, or at least l am,
for already I'm being as nice as pos
sibly can to some second cousins of
mine by marriage there, in the hope
that they'll perhaps invite me to
camp in their asphalt backyard
We'll have to pay for the simple privilege
of be ing alive. Everything withinnine
miles of Chicago's farthest suburb is
controlled by some syndicate or conn.,
pany, or something of that kind, and
everything else in any way pertaining
to that fair is patented or copyrighted.
The dear public will go to Chi
cago and be f1eeced of its last
cent and return TO its home to die
of sheer excess of ''that tired feeling"
The very last thing to be copyrighted is
the photograph of the caSket in which
the remains of Columbus rest. The
copyright belongs to Washington
correspondent named George Sawter.
One day last week he noticed how the
statue of Columbus on the capitol porch,
which represents that great man as
pitcher of the Genoa nine, was being
Whltewashed, and it occurred to him
that he had photograph of Columbus
coffin, made by a kOdakOmaniac. The
copyright was issued today, and hence
forth no man may use the picture even
as a newspaper cut without paying a
royalty. Money !? Why there's lots of
money in it. The wonder is that nobody
ever thought of it before.
Speaking of Columbus reminds me
that Washington follows the fashion Of

are always incased in old-fashioned
boots. Just now, heis wearing an Or

pecially for him, and presented by
admiring Springfield friends. The feet
are like the feet of all boots, but the
legs-O those legs! On them the boot
maker has let his artistic genius run
riot. On the front of each

ABOUT LEMONS.
They Are as Useful as Tart and as
Valuable as Fragrant.

Da you want to know the name of on,
of the best all-around household doc
tors, and certainly the cheapest tina
can be found In any country?
| 1t is DR.: Lemon, says the New Yorl
Herald. Yes, an ordinary, sour, yellow
| lemon, which you can buy at any gro
| Gerry for few cents.
Here are some of the things DR.. Lem
on will do for you if you give him the
| chance:
Squeeze him into a glass of water
every morning, and drink him with
very little sugar. He will keep your
stomach in the best of order, and never
let Mr.. Dyspepsia, whom he hates cor
daily, get into it.
Ii you have dark hair and it seems to
be falling off, cut off slice of the doc
tor and rub him on your SCALP. He will
stop that little trouble promptly.
Squeeze him into quart of milk and
ne Will give you mixture to rub on
your face night and morning, and get a
complexion like princess.
Pour him into an equal quantity of
glycerlne and rub your hands with the
mixture before going to bed. If Won
don't mind sleeping with gloves on, that
is better still, and helps the doctor con-
slderably in his task of whitening YOUR
hands. In the morning wash your
hands thoroughly in warm water and
apply the doctor again pure, but only
few drops of him this time. You must
not keep this up too long, or your hands
will show such dazzling whiteness a
to make all the other young ladies in tn
vicinity jealous.
If you have bad headache cut DR..
Lemon into slices and rub these along
your temples. The pain will not be
long dlsappearing-Ora at least in grow
ing easier to bear.
If be e or an insect stings Won clan
few drops of the doctor on to the snot
and you will find yourself the better
for it.
If you have troublesome corn the
doctor can be again put to good account |
by rubbing him on the toe after Won |
nave taken hot bath and cut away as |
much as possible of the troublesome in
truder.
Besides all this the doctor is always
ready to sacrifice himself in the cause /
OF Russian tea-slce him in without
sugar-or in the preparation of old |
fashioned lemonade, than which no |
drink Is more wholesome.
Altogether, DR.. Lemon is an indi- !
vidual few people can afford to get |
along without.

Among the few women who have been
heralded by the press as Drawing the
wildS of the newly opened lands in In
dian territory and enduring the dis
comforts of a standardization Nanetta
Daisey again comes to the front. says
the Guthrie, oklahoma, correspondent
of the Chicago Herald. The dispatches
state that this 'impresSible amazon, "
who was desperately wounded III two
previous land openings, was captain OF
eleven independent women boomers.
They encamped before the opening III
an almost inaccessible gully. The band
was well armed and mounted and very
determined.
Miss Daisey presents III her personal
ity one of the most eccentric and mex
plicable characters in which the West
is supposed TO abound. NotOriety,
however. seems to be her guiding star
To startle, to be the heroine OF some
dramatic situation is her constant desire
Her career presents broken pictures or
a restless but aimlesS activity. Little IS
known OF her early life. Her own re
eitals throw about her youthful years a
glamOr of vague romance and adventure.
Death of her parents, Hight some time
from somewhere, separation from be-
loved sister. are the broken, INDEFINITE
glimpses she gives. The first authentic
knowledge of her is furnished by Ken
lucky. Her life IN that state was IN
every way unique and unusual. About
twelve years ago she was teaching near
Vest Port. Oldham county. She soon
tired of that humdrum life, and went to
Louisville to enter upon more active
and therefore more tasteful career. At
that time she was decidedly pretty, and
had a dashing, vivaciOuS way which
captured those with whom she came i'll
contact. She was a woman of more

for week or ten days. and then the old
reStlessness would overcome her and
she would leave as suddenly as she
came for some new excitement. Such
BOhemianiSm can alone explain her
presence i'll the last rush of boomers.
She had already exhausted her home
stead rights in Oklahoma and could
have had no other motive in entering
the new reservation than a desire to
figure prominently in the event. The
marshaling and drilling OF her little
band of a dozen women was charac-
teristic bid for nOtoriety.
Another ROOrback About Daisey.
In all important events in the new
territory she is sure to be in the van.
But few months ago the Sac aud Fox
reservation was opened to settlement, it
will be remembered, and then occurred
a desperate rush for lots in the new
town of Chandler. The dispatches
stated that in the whirl of that hour
Miss DaiSey was thrown from her horse
and killed. The sensational feature
was added that she was al the head of
the charging settlers, and that after her
fall the horses of those in the rear clat-
tered Over her lifeless body. Those
who we're personally acquainted with
Miss Daisey received the news with in
credulity. Their doubts were confirmed
the following day, when dispatch
stated that she was not killed. but that
she had only been rendered insensible: :
that she returned to consciousness after
a few hours and asked about her claim.
Think of the dramatic situation. A
wild. mad rush for $1,000 town lots; a
pell-mell, headlOng dash for business
corners, a woman thrown under the
hoofs of gallOping horses wild as their
riders; cry, a lifelesS form; settlers,
rough but tender. gather around her.
They feel her pulse and find she still
lives. There is a hurried consultation
and all reSuscitating remedies that
they know are applied. Her limbs move
slightly, her eyes open, stare-then in
voice feeble but commanding she eX-

tOriety, has many good traits. Not long
ago she demonstrated her loyalty to one
who at one time did her favor. The
nearest federal court to Oklahoma ter
ritory was one located at Wichita, and
nearly all the offenders were tried at
that tribunal. Not long ago case Of
I nusual interest was tried there in
which Miss Daisey was particularly con-
cerned herself.
A young half-breed has been arrested
in the territory for murder. He was
barely twenty years old, and splendid
specimen of manhood. He had be-
friended Miss DaiSey in some way, and
when he got into trouble she went to
the front for him. he was tried. con-

Every moment it was expected that

than ordinary ability and education,
although she was hampered by many
eccentric traits of character, and was by
nature a thorough Bohemian. She OBJ
tanned a position in the public schools,
but after several sessions she had dis
agreement with the trustees of the ward
in which she was employed and was
dropped from the roll.
In the Political Arena.
She then entered politics and was
but was defeated. During the races
for the position she formed the ac-
guaintance of nearly every politician
and public man in the state, and her
face was 4 familiar one around the
capitol. AfteTward she went to Wash
ington in hope of securing employ
ment, and while there got letters of
recommendation from all the prominent
senators and representatives and other
officers of the government. Finally she
was appointed teacher in one of the
Indian schools and went to the far
West. When the rush was made into
Oklahoma she was in the front rank
and staked off a claim. Her conduct
throughout that exciting time was char
RcteriZed by dash and determination. A
verltable cowboy in her mode of life
and restless wanderer by disposition,
she always mingled with every move
ment of an exciting nature. In spite OF
her surroundings there was never
whisper against her character and not a
man in all the reservation would dare
offer her an insult. She never seemed
to have any fear for herself and in
gratiated herself with many a rough
boomer who would have protected her
honor with his life.
Her Oklahoma Claim.
1t was during the very first days of
Oklahoma'S settlement that the Herald
correspondent met her. She had come
