That the newspaper Is the most
direct way a merchant can reach
the probable customer is conceded
by experts In advertising. The
up to date advertiser is greatly
handicapped In his work unless his
space Is made ttractive by a judi
cious use of Illustrated cuts. The
old timesswood cuts are passed, rome
but cuts Of real artistic merit now
attract the public eye favorably.
The modern dali not only encour-
ages the use of attractive illustra-
tions, but also favors frequent
changes of matter, which serves the
two fold purpose of advertising and
freshness to the paper. and giving
the merchant better returns for the
best mode of advertising known.

THREE WAYS OUT.
Cuban Situation Causes Anxiety
to Politicians.

Washington, March 6.-Chairman Payne
of the house ways and means committee
today made a statement regarding the Gu
ban situation in which he reviews the
three propositions pending. He also says
that the majority of the Republicans
think something ought to be done for Gu
ba. In the statement he says: MANY
misleading statements as to the attitude of
the president the cabinet and the house
Republicans are appearing in the newspa-
perS. i not speak of conferences with
the president, but L have every assurance
that the cabinet is not divided on this
subject. has a majority of the house
Republicans committed themselves either
to the Morris, the Tawney or the do moth
ing policy
Mr. Payne also says that to grant a 20
per cent reduction will prevent annexation
of Cuba for many years and annexation
will mean free trade. He closes his state
ment by saying: ITO refuse to do any
thing would put the house in position
of hostility to the president and would
cause uncertainty and a feeling of ap-
prehension to the producers of sugar in
the states and would be utterly demoral-
izing."
1t is conceded that nothing will be done

DRIFTS 10 FEET HIGH.
Snow Stops Ali Kinds of Business in
Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, March 6-The snowfall
which began in the states yesterday
morning ceased during the night and
today the weather is bright and clear.
Reports from the mountainous districts
show that as much as. two feet of snow
fell in some districts. AS a result troll
ley and steam railway traffic is very
much impeded and in some localities
abandoned altogether. In the anthra-
cite coal regions many collieries have
suspended operations. In HaZelton, q
condition amounting almost to a fam
inc is reported. The country roads are
impossible and the railroads are block
ed. making it almost impossible to get
produce to the markets. Drifts ten or
more feet in height are reported on troll
ley tracks in many localities.
Reading, Pa, March 6.-As the result
of the extraordinary fall of snow street
railway traffic in this cityis at a stand
still and not a, line is running to the
country districts.
Pittsburg, March 6.-Pittsburg and
Allegheny are slowly recovering from
the snow storm of yesterday. Traction
lines are again in operation and tele-
phone lines are working but the rail-
roads are still suffering and trains are
all late The storm was the greatest
since 1884, the snowfall in this city be-
ing Is inches. From all points within
a radius of IS miles of Pittsburg, come
reports of the storm. Fairmont w. Va.

ton Is inches and Freeport 10 inches.
In the n ountains the storm was al
most unprecedented. At Somerset there
was a snowfall of % inches in "a hours
and at Ebensburg, which is near the
crest of the Alleghenies two feet Of
snow has fallen.
The damage was not heavy at any
lace and the only danger that threat
ems now is from flood in case of a
rain.
Altoona, Pa, March 6.-The city pas
senger and Logan Valley electric rail-
ways still up, snow covering the
tracks to such a depth as to require the
use of picks and sflovels to remove it.
A passenger train on the Altoona di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad was
caught in a snowdrift near Martins
burg, near here last night and held
thirteen hours. The passengers waded
through snow three feet deep to reach
the village where the found shelter. The
train was dug out today. The Pennsy
vania railroad main line is being grad
ually opened for freight traffic by hum
dreds of repair shop hands who worked
all night clearing snow from the auto
matte switches. Passenger trains are
moving today on schedule time. The
bright sun today is helping to remove
the drifts and before the end of the day
the blockade will be entirely gone.

Walker, of New York, a porter, cook,
a maid, Mimi, her dog, her pet canary,
Dick, and E. ROmayne Simmons, her
accompanist on the piano.
There was quite a crowd on the depot
platform eager for a view of the singer.
Professor George B. Penny, who led
the Topeka Choral society chorus at the
concert and David Bowie, one of the
principal singers of the society, were on
hand to meet her. They were the first
in the car where they were met by Mr..
Simmons, who besides being the pianist,
seems to be the manager of the aggre-
cation and private secretary to the
madam.

apartment dressing for a drive. She

road officials were met by Mr.. Simmons

But you see, Madam Nordica sings
tonight and she never allows herself to
be interviewed the days she sings be-
