MRS. SCHULZ WRITES.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
I hope that you will give me a little
space in your paper. I want to say that
there is time when patience ceases to
be a virtue. and it would be an elegant
thing if every tax payer would study the
city ordinances in case of election time
the voter may be sure that the right man
is voted in the right place, no matter if
he be a street sweeper or railroad brake
man.. Take, for instance, Wallace, Idaho.
Furthermore, it is outrageous how tax
payers are bulldozed by the city council
and street railway company, and how
much Doodle and red tape is used: Take,

WHO HAS THE FRISCO?
Illinois Central Now Said to Be the
Purchaser or Lessee.

New York, July 31.-President Yoakum,
of the ST. Louis & San Francisco railroad
has confirmed to his intimate friends,
says the Herald, the purchase by his line
of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
Nothing bearing official stamp, how
ever, has been said as to the reasons for
the acquisition of the property. The two
roads do not connect at any point and, ac-
cording to practical railroad men, several
hundred miles of construction work will
have to be carried out before the big
Southwestern system will be able to reap
the Advantages which the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois road can supply in the
way of entrance into Chicago.
When President Yoakum was seen at
the Waldorf he refused to discuss the
terms of the purchase and would neither
confirm nor deny a report that the Hi
nois Central had practically concluded
arrangements for the acquisition or lease
of his system.
'I am not ready to talk yet he said.
In well-informed banking circles the in
timation was Quietly given, concludes
the Herald, that the Illinois Central either
will become the owner of the Frisco as
a result of the present deal. or will lease
that property as counter move against
the aggressions of other interests in the
south.

A TEST CASE.
Supreme Court to Rule on Denver
Prohibition Ordinance.

Washington, July 31.-A case was
docketed in the United States supreme
court today intended to test the right
of the municipal corporations to pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicating liquor to
females. The case is that of David
Cronin versus the City of Denver,
Cronin is the owner of a saloon and
opened a wine room for women. The
record shows that he asked for an in
junction to restrain the city from en-
forcing an ordinance prohibiting the
maintenance of such a place for fe-
males. asserting that the law is I'M
constitutional because it discriminates
against women and also because it de-
prives him of property without due pro-
cess of law. He contended that he had
as much right to sell liquor to women
as to men and that they have as much
right to drink as men. He also referred
to the circumstances that equal SUI
frage prevails in Colorado and argued
that since women had been given the
right of suffrage they stand on the
same footing in all respects with men
and hence are entitled to the pursuit
of happiness and the same rational en-
joyment as their brothers" The dis
trict court upheld this contention, but
the finding was overruled by the state
supreme court

midst of a three days rain. The fire
smoked. the dining room was chilly,
and when we assembled for breakfast,
papa looked rather grim and mamma
tired, for the baby had been restless
all night. Polly was plainly inclined
to fretfulness and Bridget was undeni-

the breakfast rolls from the bakers.
He had taken off his rubber coat and
boots in the entry and he came in rosy

LAND OF MANY WONDERS
Galapagos Islands Contain Seemingly No End
of Minerals.

Captain Richard Nye, who was one
of those ON the steamer w. S. Phelps,
tells of many wonders of the Galapagos
islands, which that vessel visited. In
an interview at San Francisco he said:
''The islands are as full of minerals
as shad is of bones. On Albemarle
there is an extinct crater, miles in di.
ameter, in which there is in sight 4O,-
900 tons of pure sulphur. The crater is
about ten miles inland and a tramway
will be necessary for transportation to
the coast, bnt this should be small
matter considering the possible profit.
"One of the queer things in .Albe-
marie is that it is overrun with wild
dogs. The animals are a mongrel breed
and were left on the island by whalers.
The dogs have become wild and ex-
tremely vicious. They are wolflike in
their habits and run in droves''
Captain Nye also tells of remarka-
BILE lake on the island of Chatham at
an elevation of 5000 feet above the
level of the sea. This lake, according
to the captain, rises and falls with the
tide, and no sounding line has ever
reached its bottom. Many relics of an
ancient race were found.

A little more water if it seems too thick.

ooh, 1 don't mind telling story

gone a little way when she began to
limp and showed every sign of being
footsore. Presently she came to halt
and hailed four-wheeler which was

her as to hear the address. but I need
not have been so anxious, for she sung
it out loud enough to be heard at the

cried. This begins to look genuine. l
