Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-03-21

Notwithstanding the stubborn resist
ance OF the Republican leaders in con-
gress there is no mistaking the indi-
cations of a strong desire In the party
for revision of the tariff, lest the
people should undertake the job In a
way that would be fatal to the whole
protective system. Thus far in the
present contest for tariff reform not
even Senator Stewart Of Nevada or
Representative Grosvenor of Ohio has
mentioned the intrigues of the Golden
club to undermine the protective sys-
TEN with British gold.

A reply made by members of the
house majority to the Western Repub-
tariff is that even If the house passed q
revision bill it would simply waste
time and labor. since the measure
would have no chance of passage in the
senate. This is doubtless true; and it
is true because the senate is controlled
by men who while nominally repre-
senting public really represent private
interests.

The Ship Subsidy Bill.

The new ship subsidy bill was rec
commended fer passage and is now in
the hands of Congress. The bill may
become law, but the party whip will
be brought into play before the final
vote is taken. The steal is too bold
and would be smothered without cere-
mony II it were not for the fact that
it is fostered by party bosses who will
profit thereby and who are determined
not to be foiled in this their second
attempt to get the bill through

You cannot go far wrong in ordering
a two.piece suit of dark-blue serge for
a knock-about spring suit or travelling
dress. Many of these have eton jack
cts and most of these eton Jackets
display an additional piece or pieces
set on in the middle Of the back and
coming below. These are called eton
tabs. They are always short. There
may be two visible, but quite as often
a single piece. Elton tabs take away

Speaking of the proposition that the

that kind comes from those patriots
who wish to serve their country and
incidentally put money in their own
rockets by issuing bank notes not
specifically secured to take the place
OF the greenbacks." What right has

Fashions In Paris.

Skirts are clinging to the hips, and
are long, fully covering the feet. They
have a decided flare at the base, but
this does not begin until the knee.
The approved way of m:king up all
diaphanous fabrics, such as lace or
mousselline, for evening gowns is with
an interlining of chiffon or mousse
line, with many fluffy little ruffies
about the feet, this in turn being
mounted over silk with one or more
dust ruffles.

If anyone inquiries why it is that the
senate has so greatly risen in popular
esteem during the last ten years, while
the house has sunk the true answer
will point to those timid and narrow

temptible second in all great matters OF
national legislation.

Long Courtships in Norway.

Norwegian weddings are almost always
celebrated at the close of short Scandi-

would never dream of taking the days
that are necessary for the long-drawn-out
festivities of the Morse wedding So the
maidens who are wooed all the year round
are usually welded at the beginning OF
winter.
Norwegian wooings are very frank and
very long ADDING. On summer Sundays

ARE TOO TIMID.
Minister BIamss Women for
Small Number OF Marriages.

ST. Louis, Jan. 3.--Dr. Charles l.. Kloss.
pastor OF the First Congregational church
at Webster Grove, has caused a sensa-
tion by suggesting in an interview that
women should propose marriage.
There are nearly 800 members of the
congregation, and Last year there were
only about a dozen marriages among
the members.
Or. Kloss is disposed TO blame the. wo-
men. lie says that they are too timid,
and that there is no reason why they
should not do the proposing themselves.
THE idea seems TO have always been
that women are dependent upon the
men," DIR. kloss says: There IS no rea-
son why this opinion should not be re-
versed. Let them become mems economic
equals, and they can do the proposing
themselves. instead Of waiting for the
rgen TO come along and ask them To be-
come their wives. Right now women do
not usually let men propose 10 them
until they are ready. and there IS no
reason why they should not have and
exercise the same right of proposing as
men"

he will withdraw the offer made by JEFF

OF from }25.000 TO $4,000
when I made that offer OF a large side

long az Bob objects ! won't let this stand
IN the way OF clinching things. But I
,have another proposition 10 make 10 the
former champion. II the amount which I
suggested as a side bet Is too much, / Will
cut IL down TO $4,000 7 don't think that
the Cornishman will experience any diff
fculty In securing backing for that sum.
If he prefers no side bet. the s. per cent
and S5 per cent proposition does not go.
But we are ready 10 do business on my
original offer. ! agree that JEFF must
knock out Fitzsimmons inside OF 20 rounds
that is, jeff is ready to undertake to

SUCCESSFUL
Tests Of New EmbaImlng Fluid
Made at Memphis College.

Memphis, Tenn. Jan. 3.-The Memphis
Medical College has for several weeks
been experimenting with an embalming
fluid for which great possibilities are pre-
dlcted. IL is asserted this discovery Is
superior TO the embalming preparation
used by the Egyptians, for while the in
fusion will preserve the subject for all
time. humanely speaking. as did that
of the ancients. Il prevents the shriveiing
UP that was inseparable from the Egyp-
tian embalming and IL does not call for
the swaths and bandages in which all
Egyptian mummies were encased.
The principal experiment up 10 this
time has been upon the body OF dog.
which was treated 30 days ago. Today
IL looks as natural as I'm life. II Is rigid,
but in perfectly natural pose.
There Is no trace OF odor about II, nor
Is there any other visible symptom OF
decay.
Tests OF the fluid have been made by
the demonstrator OF anatomy at the Mem
phis College. and he Is so we'll convinced
OF its practical utility that he viii use II
for the preservation or all the cadavers
used in the college.
The fluid petrifies the body. Neither
arsenic or strychnine is used in the prep
aration.
