Charles Curtis has completed a draft of
a bill for the suppression and punish
ment of anarchists which he viii intro

The provisions of the bill are very
sweeping. They catch anarchists and
their sympathizers and also yellow

person who shall, within the United
States, unlawfulIy and wilfully kill or

dent or vice president, a member of the

persons conspiring to kill one or either
of the officials named in the first sec
ton.
The third section provides that every
person who shall within the United
States, incite, encourage, promote or
advocate an assault with intent to kill
either of the officials named, shall be
deemed guilty of crime against the
government of the United States, and
upon conviction thereof shall suffer
death. Provided, that nothing in this
section shall be held or construed to
prevent a candid, full and fair dis
cussion of public events and public
measures, nor to prevent just and fair
criticism of any public officer
The fourth section provides that
every person, who shall, within the
United States, incite, encourage, pro-
mote or advance, the overthrow of the

signed to expose the president or vice

member of the presidents cabinet, the

Capt. BOgRrdus Has Dangerous E1peri-
ence but Comes Out Unhurt.
Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov.
4th.-Capt A. H. Bogardus, the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has spent
the summer here. His shooting school
has been one Of the features of the
Park during the season. He has Civ
en- many exhibitions and his skill with
the rife is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, III. He had been a suff5 from
Kidney disease for several years and
it rapidly developed into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incHrab1e and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed Is to
put it very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at
last he was to be conquered by such
cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says: 81 attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else"

The Home Laundry.

There is no reason why the clothes
cleaned at home cannot be ironed up
to the same standard of excellence that
comes from sending them to the laun-
dry. All that is necessary to attain
the desired object is the purchase OF
a package of Defiance starch at any
grocery. Use it once and you will un-
derstand why clothes ironed at the
laundries have that mild, glossy ap-
pearance. All frst-class laundries use
Defiance starch. If there is no grocery
in your neighborhood that keeps it
they will send for it on request. Made
