SPRINGFIELD, III, Jan. 4.-There has
not been so much political activity in Spring
field since the famous session of the legis-
lature which elected General John NJ.
Palmer to the United States senate as there
is today. The political fights are both nu-
merous and interesting, the most important
being the selection of a United States SEN
ator to succeed John NJ. Palmer. The fight
for the position of United States senator
is quite uncertain The leading candidates
are Martin B. Madden the Chicago alder
man: Samuel w Allerton the millionaire
packer; Hon. David 7. Littler of Spring

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.--Grace Vaughan. the
actress, at present with "A Bunch of KEYS"
company, today filed a suit for divorce
against Andrew Rawson Jennings, son of
the Cleveland Standard Oil magnate.
The charges contained in the complaint are
sensational. According to the bill the couple
were quietly married four years ago in Cleve-
land, While Grace Vaughan was member
of the Spencer Opera company. Their mar
rlage created storm and Miss Vaughan con-
tinued with the opera company, hoping that
her father-in-law would some day relent.
Early in 1894, however. she reappeared in
Cleveland and announced that she was there
to be supported by her husband few
days after she suddenly disappeared In the
bill filed today she charges that she was
drugged by young Jennings and taken to
the Newburg insane asylum near Cleveland,
where she was confined for seven months
before she managed to escape. She has
since lived with her mother in Chicago In

Anticipate Trouble Over the Intro

DENVER, Jan. 4.-From reports current
in Denver and substantiated by private ad-
vices from ouray, it appears that Ouray
and San Miguel counties are on the verge
of strike that will equal the Leadville
strike. The cause Of it will be the i'm
portation of non-union men into a tunnel
situated about nine miles west of Ouray.
Since early in December there has been a
strike at the tunnel and mine Several
attempts to settle amicably proved in
effective and non-union miners have been
engaged from around Joplin, Mo-, to take
the places of the strikers. The strikers
are members of the Miners union and
trouble may follow the introduction. and
even a general strike may be ordered.
There are $500 miners In Ouray and ad-
Joining counties, who all belong to the

Her Trust In Signs.


An efficient but illiterate domestic
servant was brought into serious but
happily not fatal danger by her undue
confidence in the deductive system Of
reasoning. This woman, being unable
to read, had long been accustomed to
discriminate between the different va
rieties Of canned vegetables which her
employer supplied not by the names
printed on the labels, but by the pic
lures which they bore. This plan served
we'll enough for kitchen needs, and it
was only when she tried to combine it
with her belief in the homeopathic doc
trine of like cures like that trouble re-
suited. The woman suffered from rheu-
matism, and one rainy day, when
her aches were especially severe, she
came across bottle labeled with
few written words and print Of skull
and crossbones. Immediately she rea-
soned out that the bottle contained a
medicine for complaining bones. and
she proceeded to take heroic dose OF
it's contents. Two doctors and stom-
ach pump saved the womanss life, but
she no longer sees unity of design In
the universe, and her trust in logic is
gone forever. York Times

Paper Underclothing.

The Japanese are making undercloth-
ing Of their finely crisped or grained
paper.
After the paper has been cut to pat
tern the different parts are sewed to-
gether and hemmed, aud the places
where the buttonholes are to be formed
are strengthened with calico or linen.
The stuff is very strong, and at the
same time very flexible. After gar
ment has been worn few hours it will
interfere with the Transportation Of the
body no more than do garments made
Of fabric. :
The stuff is not sized, nor is it imper-
meable. After becoming wet the paper
is difficult to tear. When an endeavor
is made to tear it by hand, it presents
almost as much resistance as the thin
skin used for making gloves.
