For Your Feet

When you remove your shoes and
stockings tonight, take look at your
feet. Compare them with all the rest OF
your body. You'll see they are pretty
small affairs to bear up the big weight
above them. All day long, year after
year, they support your body. Is it any
wonder they are sore and tender? How
can they help itching, burning and
swelling? Why don't you get bottle
of Omega Oil at the drug store, and give
your feet good rubbing with 1t: In
the morning you'll! have to confess that
Omega Oil is the greatest stuff for aching
feet that you ever came across III your
life Don't forget to rub upward when

fortunate for Lord Salisbury, as his

GOES TO COPENHAGEN.
PROF. J. C. FREEMAN - o1NNEI
CONSUL TO DANISH CAPITAL.
Position Ordinarily Good For Four
Years and Worth From $4,000 to
to So, Freeman in Paris.

Prof. John G. Freeman. head OF the
department of English literature in the
university, has been appointed by Pres
ident Mckinley consul at Copenhagen
The position pays from $4,000 to $4,000
per year and ordinary holds for four
years. Prof. Freeman is now enjoying
a years leave of absence and with his
two daughters, both recent varsity
graduates, is in Europe and was last
heard from in Paris. He will probably
not return to Madison TIL his term as
consul expires.
Prof Freeman is the second unlver-
sity man to go to Copenhagen. Prof.
Rasmus B. Anderson having been APP
pointed minister to the Danish court IN
1885, The positions are not the same,
Prof. Freemans being but consulate.
Prof. Freeman is not acquainted With
the Danish tongue but Copenhagen be-
ing the intellectual and fashionable
capital of the north. a cosmopolitan
city, unusually rich in the treasures of
art and letters, he will undoubtedly
find it congenial home. Students and
faculty alike will regret the temporary
loss to the university of Prof. Freeman
who has been head Of the department
of English literature here since 1879.

STRIKERS ARE ENJoINED.
Must Not Interfere With Mails in
st. Louis.

st. Louis, May 2O.-Judge Adams of
the United States circuit court issued
a temporary injunction late yesterday
afternoon commanding the strikers to
refrain from doing anything whatever
that will delay or obstruct mail cars.
or the gathering and distribution of
mails. There was no rioting yester-
day due to the fact that the company
made no efforts to run cars during the
afternoon, Chief of Police Campbell
being fearful of trouble if the cars
and parade should happen to collide.
The parade was a success in point of
numbers and enthusiasm, about 1000
men being in line. There was not
the slightest evidence of disorder.
The matter of a sympathetic strike
has been referred back to the unions
individually. They commenced vot-
ing on the proposition last night and
will have the matter under considera-
ton until tomorrow night when the
executive Committee will take action
on reports submitted to them. No
progress was made yesterday toward
a settlement of the strike and no move
made on either side looking toward a
conference.

DEBATE CREED REVISION.
Presbyterians at Chicago Wrestle
With Problem.

st. Louis, May 23.- Much to the gen.
eral surprise, the committee on bills
of the Presbyterians recommended
that the moderator appoint commit
tee of fifteen. composed of seven cler-
gymen and eight elders, to take action
in the matters of creed revision and
report at the next meeting of the gen
eral assembly and recommended that
the various Presbyteries consider the
matter at their meetings next fall. DR..
John Graham of Philadelphia pro-
posed substitute that no action be
taken on creed revision. The debate
on substitution waxed warmer than
on the original report. The question
finally went over until today. DR..
Burch was given permission to with
draw his appeal in the heresy charges
against DR.. McGiffert, the latter hav-
ing withdrawn from the Jurisdiction
of the Presbyterian church.

Gov. Smith of Montana Believes Clark
Is In.

San Francisco. May 17.-Gov. Smith
of Montana who is enroute to Helena,
lis quoted as follows concerning the
resignation and reappointment of
Senator Clark:
II came to California on business
and never thought that such action
would be taken during my absence
from executive duties or I never
would have left the chair in the power
Of the lieutenant governor. The
trouble is the cause of my early re-
turn and I pray that / may reach
Helena in time to prevent its consum
nation. There is no way of revoklng
the act, as the lieutenant governor is
vested with the same rights as the
governor during the latter's absence.
I knew that Spriggs was favorable to
Clark, but did not think he would be
guilty of such an act in the face of the
fact. that not Is per cent. of the Mon
tana people are favorable to Clark as
their representative in the senate. If
the appointment lis made before

accept the inevitable"
