The Up-to- Date Baby.

It isn't correct any more to have
things daintily pretty for the new
born baby just in order to have them
daintily pretty. 1t is no longer the
proper thing to swathe the little body
in yards and yards of muslin and lace
and put him to bed in pillows of down
and silk perfumed with rose or violet.
Up to-date mothers no longer vie with
each other on the point of delicate
elaboration. They do not vie at all
any more. Their one object is to
make everything as sanitary and COM
Portable as possible for the newcomer.
Sometimes they give sigh for the
pretty bow or frill of lace, hut after
ALL everything in the new fashion
looks so clean and sensible and whole
some they come to see the other was
only a perverted taste, and take no
pleasure in it. Things have advanced
in the last few years. The nursery is
one of them. Martha Houk in the

MOB ALMOST GOT HIM.

Slayer of Policeman Is Nearly
UnesUer, Pa, Feb. 3.-Policeman
Mark Allen was snot and instantly
killed at midnight by Albert West,
negro whom he had arrested for quar-
reling on the street with a colored
woman. The negro shot Allen in the
leg, and, as he fell to the sidewalk,
fired two shots into his body, death
resulting shortly after.
West escaped, but was captured
hiding in a stable at Darby, seven
miles from here. The news of the
capture preceded the arrival of the
officers with their prisoner and when
they reached the city hall in car
crowd of 2,G00 persons met them with
cries of Lynch him" Kill him."
The negro was hustled into the city
hall, and the crowd, seeing that it was
impossible to reach him in the narrow
corridor, ran around to the courtyard
In the rear of the building. The big
gate was barred, but 100 shoulders
were placed against it and it was torn
down and the mob rushed in with yells
Of Lynch him.
The city Jail stands in this court
yard, and, tearing that rush would
placed platoon of police in the drive
way, and the officers, with drawn re-
volvers, faced the crowd, which sui
lenly retired. A plot was made for
second onslaught and it was necessary
to place the leaders in temporary GUS
tody to quiet the crowd.

The Chicago Great Western will let

struction of its projected Zumbrota-
Rochester line, for which surveys were
made year ago. The total cost VIII
reach $23, 600 mile.
Right of way for the new line has
been secured. The engineering depart
ment of the road is now receiving bids
on the construction and will lei con-
tracts at once. Construction work will
begin as soon as the frost leaves the
ground, and the entire thirty miles of
road will be ready for operation before
next fall.
The new line will give he Chicago
Great Western it's first direct route to
Winona and will give tier of south

cation with st. Paul. The route lies
through rich agricultural district.
which promises to become productive
of heavy freight traffic, and which
has previously been hampeIed by
roundabout transportation facilities
and unsatisfactory rates.

A Chicago dispatch says:


Twenty employees of the Chicago &
North Western railway system will
soon be retired on pensions in con-
formity with the recent change fixing
the service requirement at twenty
years instead of thirty. Three of
these pensioners are employed by the
company in Chicago, the others are
located at various points along the
lines, several being in Minnesota and
in the Dakotas.
The highest monthly allowance to be
given any of the twenty to be retired
is $27. The average pension will be
$40 or $11. The names of those who
will be retired are withheld by officers
of the road because the persons who
are to be-. shelved desire as little pub
licity as possible.
This for the reason that they don t
care to be held up as back numbers or
as persons who are incapacitated.
Many of them claim to be capable of
doing as much work as ever and they
will seek employments in other lines,
as the rules of pension system allow.
There is considerable talk among the
employees over amounts allowed as PEN
sions, many being of the opinion that
the rate should be higher.

AN INTERESTING WEEK.
Important Measures to Be considere

Important Measures to Be Considered
washington, Feb. S.-1nIs p..--------.
to be an interesting week in the house.
The oleomArgarine bill has been made
a special continuing order and after it
is disposed of the bill for the repeal of
the war revenue taxes will follow.
While both sides are unanimous in
favor of the repeal of these taxes it
is the intention of the Democrats to
open up the whole tariff question dur
ing the debate on this bill and they
will make a strong fight for ample
time for discussion. The question of
Cuban reciprocity is also to be de-
bated at length, as members on both
sides of the house are anxious to de-
fine their positions. The friends of
the oleomargarine bill have no doubt
of it's passage. The bill is practically
the old Grout bill imposing tax of 10
cents pound on products colored in
imitation of butter and to make retail
dealers who color oleomargarine sub
ject to the same penalties as the manu-
facturers.

ALL EYES ON CONGRESS.
Manila Intensely Interested in legisla-
tion for the Philippines.

Manila Intensely Interested IN Le9isid-
ton for the Philippines.
Manila Feb. 3.-Manila is intensely
interested as to what action congress
will take concerning the Philippine
islands. Ordinary local politics have
been forgotten and two parties have
been formed. the optimists and the
pessimists. Some think that life and
property are unsafe outside of the
towns of the islands, while others ridi-
cule such ideas and consider life and
property to be assured.
Criticisms of the statements of Civil
Governor Taft that he believed $4,000
men would be sufficient to garrison
the islands in year are plentiful.
Yet the majority of the business men
who are financially interested in the
provinces. and consequently claim ex-
ceptional opportunities for feeling the
pulse of the people, say that Governor
General Taft is right on one condition
only, that being that congress acts Tor
the benefit of the Philippines.
Captain Frank Green, president or
the American chamber of commerce
here, says he fully believes that Civil
Governor Taft's forecast can be
realized IL congress Will arrange "
open the country to mining and home
stead laws and to open and enlarge
the forestry reserves. Should this
legislation be effected an act by the
Philippine commission granting fran
chises would naturally follow and
American capital in large quantities,
as we'll as many American miners and
homestead seekers, would come to the
islands.
eff this were accomplished" con-
tinued the president of the chamber OF
commerce, 1--WE would Immediately
have a large body of resourceful and
self-reliant men scattered through the
archipelago who would become a
source of information for the govern
ment concerning the natives surround
ing them and who would constitute
reserve force in case of necessity. The
consequent development of the isl
ands would give employment to an in
creasing number of Filipinos, who,
while busy making money, would have
less time to plot. The good wages In
sight would make even those Fflipinos
in the field desert the instruction in
order to enjoy their share of the pros
perity."

BOXES MUST BE PLAIN.

Having had numerous inquiries as to
whether or not advertisements, such
as names of newspapers, etc., were al
lowable on rural letter boxes now be-
ing put up, the Mankato postmaster
wrote to the department recently and
received the following letter in reply,
which will explain itself:
SIN replying to your INJURY of the
23d inst, you are informed that it is
a violation of the regulations govern
ing the service, for advertisements OF
any kind to be placed on rural boxes,
whether by the manufactures or by
any other business concern or indi'
viduals. Approved boxes may bear
the name and address of the manufac
turer, and that in not very conspicu

larry. The salary bill is in charge OF
Senator Hoar and viii be considered in

day until it is disposed Of, while the
Philippine bill, which is in the hands
of Senator Lodge, will continue to
have right of way as the unfinished
business after 2 o'clock of each day.
The salary bill will be the subject
only of running debate, but number
of set speeches will be made on the
other measure. Among the senators
who will be heard during the week
are Messrs. Teller, Turner, Carmack
and Culberson. 1t is not probable
that the debate on the Filipino bill
will be concluded during the week.
The friends of the judicial salary bill
hope to conclude it's consideration at
a comparatively early day. They say
that Senator Stewards measure in
creasing the salaries of senators and
members of congress will be uncere-
moniously voted down.

The Chicago Great Western has
placed orders amounting to $3.50, OO0
for passenger motive power and equip
ment, which will be pat in service
within two months between st. Paul
and Chicago and st. Paul and Kansas
City. Two new trains, fresh from
the shops from engine to the rear sig
nal lights, will replace the present SER
vice.
The new trains will be the first in
the northwest to carry car axel sys-
tenn of electric Lighting. Each coach
will have its own generators and stor-
age batteries, which, when the car is
cut out from the train, will have
power to keep the lights burning for
several hours.
The new lighting system does away
with the generators in the baggage
cars, operated by engines receiving
steam from the locomotive, and the jar
which these produce. Each coach will
have reading lights and vesribule and
aisle lights have been supplied with a
free hand.
The engines that will haul the new
trains are nearly ready for delivery,
and will be heavier and faster than
any the road now has in service. Each
new train will consist of baggage

THE BIDDLES ARR DEAD
WOUNDS RECEIVED BY PITTS

FATAL.
Is IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Mrs. soffeI Reported to Be Expectorat-

ing Intense Curiosity and the Crowd
Stands for Hours in Driving Snow
Storm Waiting to View the Dead
Bodies.
Butler. Pa, Feb. 3.-Edward and
John Biddle, murderers. who escaped
from the Pittsburg Jail after over
towering and wounding the guards,
have died here of the wounds received
in their battle for life. Mrs. Kate Sof-
fell. the wife of the warden, who aided
in the escape and furnished the men
saws and revolvers, is in a critical
condition. She is reported to be ex-
pectorating blood at the hospital and
her condition is not considered favor
able.
The terrible fate of the Biddles is
the sole topic of conversation here and
a curious throng of people defed the
storm and hung about the Jail entrance
in vain attempts to get in to see the
bodies of the dead murderers. A
great deal of sympathy for the boys
is expressed on all sides and not a
few of the female portion of the
crowd expressed a desire to see what
manner of a man Ed Biddle was that
he should exert such wonderful IN
f1uence over men and particularly
women. The Jail doors were closed
all day and nobody got in but the doc
tors who attended the autopsy and
the coroner's jury. Even the news
paper reporters were excluded from
the inquest, which was held in the
Jail, and nothing concerning their de
alterations could be learned until late
in the afternoon.
The verdict OF the jury is that Ed
Biddle came to his death by revolver
shot fired from a 32-calibTe revolver
by himself, and that Jack BTddle met
his death from gunshot wound IN
ficted by the officers in the discharge
of their lawful duty.
The evidence secured by the autopsy
bears out the statements that the Bid
dies intended to XIII themselves faInei
than be taken alive and that Ed sue
ceeded in his attempt, while Jack
failed, though his life was forfeited.
After the autopsy the bodies OF the
BiddIes were taken in charge by an
undertaken, who prepared them fol
burial. Then the bodies were removed
from the Jail to one of the Railways
of the sheriff's dwelling and the pub
lie was given an opportunity of look
ing at the two notorious criminals. A
long line of people stood in front Of
the door, the wind blowing about theil
