John d. Rockefeller sleeps eight and
one-half hours every night, retiring at
10 80 and rising at z. Every morning
when he gets up he is $17,5OO richer
than he was when he went TO bed, says
a New York correspondent of the st.
Paul Globe. He sits down to break
fast at O'Clock and leaves the table at
8 $50, and in that short time his wealth
has grown $1,041.5O. On Sunday he
goes to church, and in the two hours
that he is away from home his riches
have grown S4,166. His nightly
amusement is playing the violin.
Every evening when he picks up the
instrument he is $4,000 richer than
he was when he laid it down the pre-
Vious night. These little facts give
some idea of the relentless growth of
this mans fortune.

Lar Made of Hair.

From Vienna is reported the inven-
tion of new hat for women, which has
the merit of novelty and cheapness. 1t
is built of the wearer's hair. The
method of evolving the hat out of the
hair is as follows: The human hair, as
it lies naturally, is fastened on the
crown of the head with band, then a
slight wire frame is fitted on the part
of the crown included in the band, and
the hanging hair is parted in the mid
die. One-half is combed over the
frame so as to cover it completely and
form the brim, and is fastened into the
band; the other half forms the trim
ming, being separated again in two
parts, one in braids and coils on the
outside, with flowers, feathers or rib
bons to finish the coiffure, and the other
inside the brim forms the roll next the
face. This is known among the Wen
nese hairdressers as the Couture a la
Louise. San Francisco Examiner.

CONGRESSMAN COwHERD HOME.
The Fifth District Congressman talks
to the Kansas City Times.

"What impressed me most about the
recent session of congress-, said Con-
gresham w. S. Cowherd of this dis
trict, who returned yesterday, "wa S
the influence which representative
from any of the smaller concerns seek
ing protection under the Dingley bill
had upon the members of congress.
81 remember one case where small
concern which was the sole manufuc-
turer of an article in universal use by
the drug stores, sent a representative
before the senate and house commit
tees for the purpose of showing the ne
cessity for an increase in its tariff. 1t
got what it wanted This particular
concern, it afterward developed, en-
pIoyed all told twelve people. 1t got
a tariff on product which taxes 10,-
100000 people IN order to protect the
interests of twelve persons engaged in
its manufacture. This is a fair illus
tration of what can be accomplished.
1t has made me change my mind as TO
the advIsability of tariff commission
The farmers and the great body of the
people can send no one to lobby in
their behalf, but the small concern
which is directly interested sends a
special agent TO plead its cause, and
enough, its influence is most
potent.
CONGRESSMAN Cowherd's first term
has changed his mind about several
things. In the first place, he does not
think the lower house contains as many
big men as he had formerly supposed.
ssI do not Think said Mr.. Cowherd
to a reporter for the Times, s'that the
lower house will average one whit bet
ter than the Kansas City Bar associa-
ton. However, the more 1 became
with the members of the
Senate the more / was impressed with
that body. My first impression of the
senate was not so favorable. 1t SEEM
ed to me a slow-going organization
of old men who had appar-
emily out-lived their usefulness. But
the new member of congress who
watches the senate closely and listens
to the debates of the senators will soon
discover the very high order of intelli-
gence represented in that body.
ssTom Reed on the House side is a
big man in more ways than one. He
is a tyrant with it all, but he has a way
of looking pleasant when he chops Off
a head which forces you to admit he is
at least good natured tyrant.''
In speaking of the national outlook
Congressman Cowherd said that he
thought the big fight of the future
would be against the trusts and corpo-
rations. at is part of one big fight"
he said, tsthls issue of the money ques-
tion and of the trusts and monopolies.
1 am under the impression that the
democrats will carry the country at
the coming congressional election.
The outlook from democratic stand
point is certainly favorable"
Congressman Cewherd made the trip
from Norfolk to Boston by boat and
home from Washington via
New York.

HON. William 5. Cowherd.

From the Marshall Progress.
The Lexington INTELLIGENCER and
other rural newspapers up IN the Kan
sas City congressional district realize
the proud consciousness that theirs is
one of the most promising young con-
gressmen who holds a seat in the
present national legislature. The county
newspapers of the democratic faith in
that district, vie with one another in
their enconiums upon Hon. William s.
Cowherd.
And the Progress which is published
to some extent that feeling of admira-
ton for the young native Missourian
who during the late called session of
congress has made a career so conspic-
uous among the conspicuous men as
sembled in congress from all parts of
the whole country just as did the rural
press without the Ashland district of
Kentucky for Hon. Thomas J. Marshall,
for John j. Crittenden-for Robert
Letcher-for John c. Breckenridge,
and the long line of bright men who
rose to national fame as the worthy
successors from that district of the
ssGreat Harry of the West"
Not only the country press of the
Kansas City district and of Kansas City
also; but the people who are his inter-
mediate constituents, received the bril-
liant young congressman on his return
home from his labors at the national
capital with open arms-with every as
surance of their generous recognition
of the part he has taken in their be-
half-of the hard fight and heavy
blows which he has dealt in his opposi-
ton to- the adoption of the Dingley
robber tariff bill.
comes around millions OF copies of his
great speech, in which he so tersely
and SO forcIbly put his opinions to the
front-in which he struck out as the
saying goes, so s'straight from the
shoulder"-in which from the inspira-
ton of the moment, his repartee was
always the answer to the challenge
that provoked tin which outside the
run of the dull and common discourse
so tedious in the long debate, his origi-
nal thought flashed like lightning and
like the mountain torrent bore every
thing before it-that speech we say
should be distributed among the agrl-
culturalists and consumers of every
class of the American people as one of
the best of all campaign documents
making plain the stupendous wrong of
some of the schedules of the Dingley
bill.
Mr.. Cowherd's speech has made him
popular idol among the anti-protec-
tionists of his native state. 1t estab-
fishes his gifts of genius as a statesman
and orator, and printed and scattered
as it should be IN 1900 among the
American people it will secure for that
young congressman every where in the
whole country that applause and admi-
ration which he enjoys in Missouri.

The silver men of Missouri and Kan
sas have gone to work in earnest to
assist Hon. Wiley o. Cox in making the
Kansas City Times the greatest metro
politan paper in the west. The INTEL
LIGENcER has heretofore called the at
tention of its patrons to the necessity
of building up great western paper
which is and will be at all times a
characteristic and loyal champion of
democracy and of western interests. A
democratic newspaper can not do effect
i've work unless its owners are in SYM
pathy with the policies it advocates.
No one will deny that the Times is
doing effective work, and that it was a
power IN the campaign last year. The
democratic vote in Missouri and the
9th congressional district especially,
bears testimony to its faithful and able
work. The Times is in the proper
hands. Hon. Wiley D. Cox its owner
is an old fashioned democrat. He has
lived in Missouri over thirty years and
is therefore the best kind of a demo-
crat-a Missouri democrat. He is in
thorough sympathy with his party in
both state and nation and as long as he
owns a share of stock in the Times the
people can depend upon Its democracy
and its loyalty to party nominees. The
western democrats can congratulate
themselves that the only metropolitan
organ they have is in the hands of man
who is democrat from principle, who
votes as he writes and whose demo-
cratic teachings are backed by demo-
cratic practice.
