WORD FROM WARDNER.

Wardner-The order of the secretary

other than to suppress riots is not being

Yesterday the superintendent Of the
Hunter mine was ordered by the mill
tary authorities to compel the union
men working for him to sign the work
ing permits as originally demanded by
General Merriam. The superintendent
refused to do 90 and will probably be

The Mountain Men.

Uncle John Smith, Uncle Dick Woo
ton, Kit Carson and many another
a,layed their lives as they staked their
Siollars, and it was their pride not to
Hlinch when the game went against
them. The chief characteristic Of the
trapper was the iron nerve that never
failed, the presence of mind that never
deserted him. Such as he was, he was
always equal to himself, and was at
his best in moments of imminent peril.
What gave him superiority over the In
dian was his swift determination in ex-
treme difficulties, which seemed, in
deed, to sharpen his faculties to the
utmost. Absolutely Indifferent to para
lying superstitions, he doubled the
Indian sagacity and craft, with infinite
ly greater dash and daring. He was
prompt to seize opportunities which
the red braves let slip. Embodying the
hardihood and dauntless perseverance
of the American character, these trap
pers constituted themselves into fac
ulty of state surveyors, and were the
veritable makers Of the empire of the
west. The last of them had gone some
30 years ago, having pioneered The way
for the gold seekers and the ranchers.

Why Women. II. are Nervous.
- - 7@-'
British Medical News.)


The frequent cases OF nervous pros
tratlon or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women go oil to
pieces" as the saying Is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms Of ner-
vous diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Further
research leads to the belief that alum Is
a prevailing cause OF so-called nervous
prostration. for the symptoms 1t pro-
duces on the nervous system after its
absorption into the blood are very re-
mnrkable indeed. Experiments phvsio-
logically made. upon animals by Orflla,
Professors Hans Mayer, Paul Selm and
others. show that alum frequently pro-
duces no visible symptoms for many
days after its Introduction, into the
body. Then follow loss Of appetite and
other allmentary disturbances, and
finally a serious prostration of the whole
nervous system. The most prominent
physicians now, believe thot nervous
sprostration" and many affections of the
nerves from which both men and wo-
men suffer are caused by the continued
absorption OF alum into the system.
1t Is probable that many medical men
are unaware OF the extent to which salts
of alumlna may be introduced into the
body, Abeing under the impression that
the use. OF alum In bread is prohibited.
Alum, however, is still used surrepti-
tiously to some extent to whiten bread
and very. largely In making cheap kinds
of baking powder. In families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream OF tar
tar. The alum powders may generally
be distinguished by the lower price at
which they are sold.

more than 10000 tax-paying women in
New Orleans: and the mayor, the city
council. the president OF the city board
OF health and other civic dignitarles
have been eloauently urging the women
to vote In favor OF. better sanitation for
their homes.
Some OF the women thought theg
would rather vote by proxy, and this
has brought to light thes anomaly In
question. II woman gives a certif-
cate to proxy to vote for, her, the cer-
ltificate must be signed by two compe-
tent Witnesses. Many New Orleans wo-
men are now finding out for the first
time that by Louisiana law, which is
based on the law OF France, a woman
Is not competent witness to a legal
document. In Louisiana, tax-paying
women may vote on the expenditure of
their taxes, and in this way are in ad-
vance OF all the northern and eastern
states. But. while woman may be
voter In her own right, or may cast a
vote as proxy for another woman, she
is not legally competent TO witness the
signing Of the certificate. Mrs. Evelyn
w. Ordway, president of the Era club.
OF New Orleans, which has been active
in this effort for improved sanitation,
says: "This shows the advance that
has taken place during the Interval
between the making Of the old and the
new laws" She adds that she believes
few women will prefer to cast their
votes by proxy.

JeGersonian Simplicity Dinners.
In view Of the widespread discussion
over the matter of Jefrersonian dinners:
to be held by the numerous factions of
the Democracy on Jefferson day, and as
( to which is the most in accordance with
Jeffersonian simplicity, the dollar din
ner, to be addressed by Mr.. Bryan, the
Second Jefferson" or the ten dollar
dinner. to which Mr.. Bryan was Invited
and refused to go. 1t Is interesting to
know what real "Jefrersonian simpli-
city" was in the matter OF dining.
A historian, one who has been q stu
dent, Of Jefrerson's life. in the person
Of Congressman Levy, of Virginia, who
is the owner Of Monticello, the famous
statesman's old homestead. throws on
this question some light which is apt to
have the effect OF disabuslng the minds
OF some people Of the tradition that Mr..
Jefferson was a man. of simple habits
in this respect While no one viii de-
tract from Mr.. Jefferson's reputation is
noble representative Of the character
Of the fathers Of the republic, much has
been written about him that Is not true.
The unseemly discussion in connection
with the Democratic party dinners that
are to be typical of "Jeffersonian sim
pIiclty' is amusing after reading what
Mr.. Levy says about Mr.. Jefferson be-
Ing a sumptuous diner. Monticello, he
says. was stocked with the finest wines.
Having spent years at the court of
Paris, Jefferson had the continental
Ideas of luxury in living and he enter
tanned royalty"
This will be shocking to those who are
talking about the ffty-cent and one
dollar .Jeffersonian simplicity dinners
and stirring up the ranks OF the faithful
in various cities. The student of JEFF
ferson's domestic life. above referred to,
says that Jefferson's dinners at Month
cello were course dinners" passed up
from the kitchen from servant to SER
want and served on silver plate" Then,
too, our great statesman, the author of
the Declaration Of Independence. the
father OF the Democracy, was actually
e.of the first to introduce finger
bowls on the side, and according to his
biographer. maintained all the elegant
customs of France. He had the best
the land could afford"
Mr.. Levy. after telling more Of what
he has gathered from the history OF
Monticello, in Jefferson's day, gets down
to the point of the controversy between
the Democratic factions that, for want
Of an issue. are discussing the price OF
the birthday dinners, when he says:
.Jeffersonian simplicity is not a myth;
Thomas Jefferson was simple In his
manner and democratic. but he did not
live on cocoa and homin7 or give them
to his guests. II he were living to-day
and were entertaining, he would be
more likely to give a ten dollar dinner
than one dollar dinner"
This ought to settle the dispute be-
tween the ten dollar and one dollar ad-
vocates Of Jeffersonian simplicity In re-
Iation to birthday banquets. Perhaps
It will restore harmony. since the mat
ter of cost seems to be the main divid-
Ing line.

MISERABLE CREATURES II
THAT is Ono Womnn's Opinion Of Her

Sex.
YES" said the woman physician,
1--WE women are altogether miserable
creatures. 1t Is being more and more
impressed upon me. A mans body and
mind seem to have been made inde-
pendently to some extent, but there is
such a union between the body and the
mind OF the woman that anything that
affects the one is sure to affect the
other, and seriously.
s"There Is no use talking. 1t Is GER
tainly true that woman Is better II she
devotes herself to sweeping and DUST
Ing, and does not take into her life any
Of those things that will cause her men
tai worries and use up her nervous
force. Women not only are made III by
their own troubles, but by the troubles
OF other people.
Take a man who asks o woman to
marry him and she refuses. What does
he do? Go and get Ill over It? Not a
bit Of It. He may feel a little blue for
a,time IL he has gone SO far as to con-
slider that there was only one woman In
the world for him. but he goes on with
his business. and probably does not lose

Is quite different matter with girl.
