Chicago, Dec. q members Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Antitrust

THE ROBERTS CASE.


Washington. Dec. "A plan Of ac-
ton TO prevent Congressman-elect Rob
erts, OF Utah from taking his seat has
been agreed upon. The committee
will recommend that objection be made
to Roberts taking the oath OF office,
which will immediately precipitate the
fight. The objection to Roberts being
sworn in will be that he has been con-
victed Of polygamy and has served a
term in prison for the offense. The
record Of his conviction will be pro-
duced. The question then will be
whether or not Roberts accepted the
amnesty OF Presidents Harrison and
Cleveland in good faith and has lived
up to his professions. His conviction
under the Edmunds law made him in
eligible to hold any Office under the
United States. His restoration to eligi-
bility is dependent entirely upon
whether or not he has complied with
the conditions of the amnesty. The
fact Of his conviction and the fact that
it is now matter Of public notoriety
that he has not faithfully lived up to
the conditions Of the amnesty will, II
is held, place the burden Of proof upon
him.
Roberts has never denied that he has
maintained marital relations with his
plural wives since Utah became a state.
He has simply contented himself with
the statement that the fact that he has
done so was not proven. Under the
form of procedure which will be adopt
ed he will be compelled to prove under
oath that he has not done SO. 1t is not
believed that he will be prepared to do

PENITENT Pc

Pearle Eastwell, one of the morphine
fends arrested a few days ago, is anxious
to get out of Jail. Pearle has worked
sentimentalists in the past and probably
thinks she can do so again. She has writ
ten a letter to Judge Ferrell in which she
if she is given her liberty she will
be good. The letter is as follows:
County Jail, Feb. 10, 1899.
JN1ge Ferrell-Dear Sir: Your honor
will pardon me for addressing you but
l am very i'll: in fact l am not able to
attend my trial, and, judge, if it will
please your honor, l you'd like you to
send me to the poor farm or send me my
release, for by so doing you will perform
an act of Kindness. You need not be
afraid to do so, for I was working at the
time of my arrest, and was on an errand
for the sick and also had money of my
own. Judge, your honor, you have dis
charged me more than once and l do hope
you will this time. If you will l will go
away and be a good girl. Yours obedi-

Hong Kong for more nectar, and 1t is
unobtainable elsewhere. Ordinary meal
tickets won't do for the Joss. 1t is nee
tar or nothing with him. Consequently
he will go hungry until the New Year sea-
son of next year when a new jar of nee
tar will come from China. Before this
season of indulgence comes around again
the great Joss will probably be in a posi-
ton to appreciate the famous remark
once made by the governor of North
Carolina to the governor of South Caro-
lima.
The theft of the jar of nectar has cast
a gloom over the New Year celebration.
The Cinnamon are very mad about it, and
vent their wrath upon their visitors.
Callers in Chinatown last night met with
but scant courtesy.
Tonight, however, will be particularly
gay in Chinatown. The Cinnamon pro-
pose to burn a large amount of firecrack-
ers and be as hilarious and merry as they
can in order to divert the thoughts of the
JOSS from the loss of the nectar.

BATHING IN
ANCIENT TIMES

Bathing in Olden times was considered
a great source of amusement and recrea-
ton. Some of the finest bathing resorts
of all ages was built in those days. The
famous Turkish baths of Rome are the
same as those of the present time. The
process of heating the body to an extreme
degree of heat so as to open all the pores
of the skin and throw off dead matter is
considered the most beneficial part of a
bath. Next came the rubbing of the
body, causing the skin to become soft and
flexible, and removing all aches and
pains; his with the cold shower bath
afterwards and a rest of an hour or two,
in a room of roper temperature prepared
the patient, who might be sick or well,
for excessive work of any kind; in fact it
braces and builds up the system if taken
at proper intervals. The baths of oday
are similar to those of old and will pro-
duce the same good effects. Amos Turk
ish baths are to be found under Hight 81

AN AMERICAN RAILROAD IN
CHINA

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured a franchise for building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han Kow,
China, a distance of nearly 700 miles,
While railroads are necessary to a ma
tons prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make money
if there are a thousand railroads. one
of the reasons why America is so pro-
g~ressive is the fact that in every drug
store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bit
