When Taggart was in ST. Louis at

his Headquarters at the Jefferson Hotel.
The passenger elevators were ia ahmed al
almost all hours of the day and night.
On one occasion fl was necessary that
be should do some work at once in his
room on the sixth floor. and with the
scores OF persons lighting TO get into
the elevators the prospect Of getting up
stairs without walking was not good.
Taggart soon solved the puzzle.

PROSECUTING THE GENERAL

Dispatches announce that suit has
been instituted by Attorney General
Moody to dissolve the General Paper
company, a Wisconsin corporation
which includes nearly every paper
mill In the northwest. The complaint
alleges that the combine has arbt.
trarily raised prices nearly so per
cent; and the court Is asked to declare
the alleged combination unlawful and
that the defendants be perpetually en-
joined from doing any act In pursu-
ance OF the same.
In the days when the resumption OF
specie payments was contamination
devoutly wished It was well and terse-
ly said that the way TO resume was to

way to solve the trust problem Is TO
solve 1t. May they be successful In

HUGH II. PRICE.

Former Congressman Hugh II. Price
of Black River Falls died In Denver
on Christmas day; aged 45 years.
Very many Wisconsin people will
tenderly cherish the memory Of Hugh
Price. He was the youngest man ever
elected to congress from this state.
We knew him when he was u member
Of the state senate. He then had
the glow Of young manhood upon his
handsome face. He was warm heart
ed, generous, and OF good impulses;
and altogether very lIkeablc young
man. Wine was offered TO him In u
most tempting form; and although he
was the son OF an uncompromising
total abstainer, the late William +.
Price, he lacked the strength or stub
borness OF character generally necess-
AIRY to resist the temptation. And we
understand that strong drink was his
nndoing. The most unmanly of all
the unmanly things is that OF men OF
influence setting the cup before young
cr and perhaps weaker men.

Marion Uarland.

A very interesting feature OF the Sun
day edition OF THE CHICAGO RECORD
HERALD and one looked by for every
woman reader OF that paper, is the
page devoted TO Marion Harland.
Under the heading "Ihe House
wives Exchange" queries and answers
appear on subjects which conscientious
housewives enjoy discussing. Whole
some advice is given about the care Of
children and how to make home
beautiful and attractive.
On the same page are also to be
found some OF Marion Harland's fam
Gus recipes. She Is considered an
authority on this subject, many peo-
pie making 1t practice to preserve
her recipes whenever they are pub
ished.
A word about Marion Harland her
self. Thousands Of people who have
read her articles are DESTROYS of
knowing more about her Her real
name is Mary Virginia Terhune. She
was born In Amelia county, Virginia,
Dec. 81, 1891; received a good educa-
tion; began to write for the press at
IA, and in 1856 married Rev. Edward

number of books. She has a summer
home called Sunnybrook at Pompton,
