IS BURTON ON LIST
Attorney Dean's Mysterious
Visit to st. Louis.
Denied That He Went There to
Stop Indictment.

That the recent visit of United States
Attorney J. S. Dean to st. Louis was
made for the purpose OF heading off an
Indictment against Senator Burton for
his connection with the National Secur-
tiles company, which has been exploit
ed so extensively in the papers Of late.
IS the substance of a story afioat in
Topeka. Mr.. Dean is heading off the
story as fast as he can with positive
denials.
Burton is said to have been given 2. 000
shares of stock in the concern in con-
slderation for the use Of his name and i
testimonial affirming the reliability OF
the company. 1t is certain his name
appeared signed to such a testimonial
although Senator Burton denied having
authorized its use. The story got around
that an indictment was about to be is
sued in the federal court in St Louis
citing Burton to appear in court and
explain his relations with the get-rlch-
quick company and that Dean went
there to stoz it.
Assistant u. S. Marshal Ed Nc
Keever. in the absence of Mr.. Dean
from the office, today denied that Mr..
Dean had gone to st. Louis for any
such purpose. His trip was made upon
the instruction OF the attorney general
and his business was entirely in con-
nection with a felony case which is now
before the United States district court
there.

Mrs Belford has always lived in Den

who is now her husband and the son of
Hon. j. B. Belford she was graduated
with honors from the Denver high

husband was nominated for the legisla-

very naturally bent all her efforts to Sc
cure the election of his ticket. Her vic

face fire in a scanty night toilet The
modern women meet the same possibil-

The LovabIe Old Maid.

Discussing o. maids in the Century
Magazine, Lillian Hamilton French
wonders why it is that history and ira
dition have done so little for the spin
ster except to make her absurd. why"
she asks, has literature never enshrined
her, ask myself often-set her apart
in corner by herself, as poets and
philanthropists and great world saviors
are set, where she can rest honored
and reverenced, not as some special
and unselfsh sister nor yet as certain
unmarried and devoted cousin, but
simply and without equivocation as an
old maid an individual as necessary to
the world and its progress as even the
married ones? For think of all the 9th
er peoples children old maids have
loved and reared, of all the homes in
which they have been benedictions, of
all the marriages they have helped to
bring about and the husbands and
wives their counsels have kept togeth-
er. Think of these things and then of
how when no longer needed these old
maids have slipped away and been for
gotten, like the ashes of last years

Status Of Carpenters Strike.

Yesterday marked the end of the first
month of the great strike of the Wyom.
ing valley carpenters, and it found the
ranks OF the strikers as solid as the day
when they quit work. Last week the
carpenters refused the proposition of the
builders to arbtrate their differences,
and followed this with four-column
communication in the newspapers, ex-
planning their reasons.
The chief reason urged by the carpen-
ters in refusing arbitration is that their
demands do not admit of arbitration, be-
cause they are absolute laws of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. Not to enforce these rules
would pecessitate the surrendering of
their charters.
The strikers further argue that as ar
bitraton was not offered until efforts
had failed to induce the carpenters to
return to work they doubt the sincerity
of their employers.
The strikers ask for an eight-hour
work-day, at 374 cents an hour. The
builders will grant the eight-hour clause,
with not over 35 cents an hour.
On this wage point and other trade
rules the employers and employees have
split, and the breach has widened every
day since the strike began.

Foot Notes.

After a daily footbath in quite warm
not hot-water, rub into the skin of
the foot small quantity of carbolated
vaseline. Rub hard and pay particular
attention to callous spots and to the toe
joints, especially if these show any
tendency to enlargement, gout or corns.
Persistence in this simple treatment is
sure to bring relief, and in time even
the stiffness of rheumatism is lessened
by it. The vaseline ought not to be
put on at night, as it is apt to so stain
the sheets that they can never be made
entirely free of the marks. AT night
time use the toilet pumice on callous
spots The effect of this is almost mag
ical. But first and last, wear easy,
comfortable shoes and be wise in time.

Mistress and Maid.

Mistress versus maid. Maid versus
mistress. This is essentially wom-
ans problem. Women have dealt with
it single handed and alone, and
throughout the civilized ages they have
given it both time and thought, but
the real question with all its perpleXi-
ties which has so heavy a bearing on
the happiness of the home life is no
nearer solution. The management of
the household has been, and will con-
tinue to be to the end of time, wom-
ans business. In the rush of the
worlds progress the domestic relations
of mistress and maid seem to have
fallen behind and consequently are not
in accordance with the modern spirit
of human relations. The result is ev
cry day apparent in the continual fric-
ton and jar of the domestic machin-
cry. There are irritable mistresses and
irritable maids. The servant girl, for
'her life almost, at least for comfort,
happiness. freedom and development,
is dependent upon the character of her
mistress. and the service she renders
is reflection of the treatment accord
ed her.

master OF all the absolutisms, the peo-
