Side Comb Uses,

Decidedly the side comb is valuable
ally. and slightly in itself as we'll as
convenient in causing a becoming full

pomposity Of the puff. For evening
wear tho hair is dressed high on the

the ears, while an aigret of white os-

ornament. Variations Of the Flaxman

HEARTlLv SICK OF IT..


Prinary Election Law Not Now Popular
With Republican,. %
The republicans are heartily sick
of the workings of the primary cleo
ton law. In order to please Boss
Collins the repu blicans put them
selves under the operation of the
Law, and now they have got tbs
sting of it and the defeated
candidates are particularly sore.
The first suggestion of the
boomerang effect Of the law was felt
by poor Schneider in the Fifth ward
when he found himself put out of the
business before the election was held
because of an irregularity in the
manner of conducting the caucus.
After a season of suspense during
which Schneider's ordeal was pain
full beyond expression he got back on
the ticket-only to be knocked clear
out yesterday.
In the First ward the feeling
against the primary election law is
running high, and there is talk OF
indictments and all sorts OF proceed
ings as q result of the disappoipt-
ment felt by the friends Of Zeis, and
who are making all kinds of allega-
tions in their condemnation of the
oppressive workings of the law.
The republicans of Rock Island
don't want any more of the primary
law-not even If Steve Collins does
say so.

HE PLANTED M'KINLEY.
Congressman Taylor Comes Out Flat i
 His Views.

Congressman Taylor Comes Out Flat in
 His Views.
 Cleveland, April 23-A special to the Press from Massillon, O., says:
 The Eighteenth district republican convention at Alliance yesterday was memorable because Congressman R. w. Taylor, who was chairman of the com mittee on resolutions at the Ohio state convention, took opportunity to con- strue the financial plank of the state platform. He not only did this, but he also planted McKoinley squarely before the public as a "sound' money man.
 "McKinleyism," he said, seems to stand not alone for protection, but also in the expressive language of McKin- ley, for a currency as sound as the gov ernment and as untarnished as it's honor.' He would not be true son of Ohio if he did not stand for a currency for the well being of this great people. It was Ohio that in 1865 furnished the great battle ground where was fought a fight for honest money. To-day we find the republican party in the lower branch of congress, fresh from the peo- pie standing on the national platform of 1892 declaring itself by an over whelming majority against the free coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to 1.
 And that it is a correct interpretation of the platform. It is to be construed as in harmony with the sentiment of the lower house and that sentiment is opposed to free coinage in every root, branch or fibre.

Will Paw the Men,

At the meeting of the board of finance yesterday afternoon the payroll in the department of the public works was or dered paid, except in the case of Ed ward Hitchcock, the recently appoint ed engineer at the stone crusher. He was employed by Acting Superintend- ent of Streets Ives at s25 per week.
 Commissioner Johnson refused to sign the payroll yesterday morning as long as Hitchcock's name remained up- on it, claiming that the board had not authorized the appointment of any one to the position.
 Commissioner McGann then refused to sign the roll under these conditions and so the matter stands until ordered paid by the board of finance.

FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
It Cannot be Too Early to Please the Re.
 publicans.


 Washington, April 23-The republi- cans of the senate favor an early ad- journment, and the earlier, after the appropriation bills are out of the way, the better it will please them. This sentiment was developed this morning at the caucus held for the purpose of determining the order of business
 After a short discussion MT. Sherman, chairman of the caucus, was author ized to appoint a committee on order of business, which will decide upon what matters outside of appropriation bills shall be brought up. The discus sion showed that the almost unanimous opinion of the republicans was that nothing in the shape of legislation that will be contested or produce protracted debate should be pressed for action An adjournment should be had, it was thought, by May IS, and the committee which MT. Sherman will appoint will bear this in mind when making up the order
 Senators who attended this confer ence assert that there is no hope for the Pacific railroad funding bill, the Nicaraguan canal bill the bankruptcy bill, the statehood bills or any other measure that will bring into debate conflicting interests The filled cheesep bill may pass and it is probable that the Peffer resolution to investigate the sale of bonds may also pass, but be- sides the appropriation bills there is lit- law.

THE SILVER CONVENTION
viii Nominate Bryan and Sewall on a
Silver Platform-Only One Plank

silver Platform-Only One fiank
St. Louis. Mo-. July 21.-The Hon. I.
N. Stevens. member Of the Executive
Committee of the National silver party
arrived this morning. Speaking of
what the silver party will do he said:
Our party was organized to unite all
silver voters for the campaign OF 1896
without regard TO past party affiliations.
We started by asking them TO lay aside
temporarily their views upon other pub
lie questions and TO unite in one SUI
preme effort TO settle the money ques-
ton this year. Our convention will be
largely composed of men who have be-
longed TO the Republican party and
who have been easily persuaded to join
our ranks for the reason that they do
not have 10 sacrifice their convictions
upon other political questions. but SIM
ply subordinate them to the money
question. Our convention will nOmi-
nate Bryan and SeWall upon substan-
TALLY the financial plank of the Chica-
90 platform, which will probably be the
sole plank of our platform. We will
be a powerful factor in the middle and
Western States in uniting the silver
voters.
I'VE will bring to the support of Mr..
Bryan hundreds of thousands who do
not wish to vote a Democratic ticket or
join that party but who agree with US
upon the money question"
