show That they have not the courage
OF their convictions. They are further

It well under way for the next legisIa-
ture, which will complete the undertake
ing, If it be Republican in personnel
And in the event it should be Democratic
of which there is not the slightest
prospect, it would find a task on its
hands to repeal all these new tax laws
and would incur the displeasure Of the
people to such an extent in an attempt
to do so, that it would not dare under
take it. This alone would be sufficient
justification for the extra session.
Some narrow minded, bigoted, over
grown yaps, calling themselves editors,
try to make the impression that VIII
liam NJ. o. Dawson is not sincere in his
tax reform advocacy. They do this
without the slightest warrant or grounds.
Mr.. Dawson, so far as Is known, stands
squareIy where he stood before he re-
eeived the nomination and ne has not
weakened from that position in any par
ticular. nor is there the slightest foun
dation that ne ever intends to recede in
the slightest from the brave, bold posi-
ton he has taken on the question.
Some will try to argue TINT the pre-
sent legislature has not ms yet come up
TO the fun measure on the tax reform
question as advocated by Mr.. Dawson.
What fool would take that as a sensible
argumentP Certainly only the mind
weaSling The object of the legislature
has not been and is not to complete the
tax reform system at once and forever
now. But that legislature is doing more
than enough to show the people that
they mean business along this line and
that the people may get advantage. of
the passage of new laws now, which they
could not get for some time to come, if
the present session had not been called.
In this connection it is also truth be-
ycnd possible contradiction that the gov
error was Influenced to some extent IN
calling the extra session by the desire to
submit important features of the pro-
posed tax system to the people this fall
to vote and determine whether they
wanted it that way, and by thus decfd-
ing the matter favorably, relief would
be given along some lines a year or so

POVERTY IN NEW YORK.
One Of the Results of the Flood %
Immigration From European
Countries.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Commissioner
General Sargent of the bureau of inn
migration has received letter from
o prominent New York philanthropist,
whose name he can not disclose, in
which startling portrayal of the
poverty in the metropolis is given.
The letter says New York's proper
ton Of the unemployed is the largest
in the country, that 100 900 idle men
are in the city now, or 40 per cent.
more than last year.
Fifty Thousand children go to
scAsol breakfastless, which means
idle fathers" the letter declares. so
overwhelmed is the department of
charities by the tens of thousands Of
applications from men out of work
that it finds itself unable to cope with
the situation. In short, the metropolis
this winter is facing problem with
regard to the unemployed such as has
never been known in past years.
"The cause of this state of affairs is
Of less moment now than the immedi-
ate problem of how to deal with the
multitudes of the unemployed. Nor has
the question here to do with the ulti-
mate relief, such as congress can pro-
vide by restricting immigration and
scattering immigrants.

the smoke. The firemen were unable
to enter until after the lower part Of
tho house and the halls had been

GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism,

Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu-
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians i'll vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened OH them for life Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
-Four years ago suffered greatly
with rheumatism i'll my hands and
knees. After had been sitting while
my limbs seemed SO heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as
kept moving was all right, but just as
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle i'll my knees and make them ache.
My hands were so bad couldn't touch
the palms of them on fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
''Did you call i'll physician?"

then one doctor said L: You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
elbow, then, did you get rid of it?"
cat different times ] had read in variA
ous publications about DR.. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. I took
them steadily for four months in &C.
cordance with the directions. By that
time I was completely cured"
''Have you been free from it ever
since2o
Since then have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and a box or two Of
the same pills made me all right again"
Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health ae
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but single
joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time in q perfectly sound
condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

FOUGHT UNSEEN FLAMES.
Four Hours Stubborn Fight with
Fire In the scawarxschiId & SuIz-
berger Beef House in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Thirty-fi COM
panies of Chicago firemen for four
hours fought fire in the beef storage
department of Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger company, at the stockyards,
and when the fire was finally put out,
not over $1,000 damage had been done.
The peculiar conditions surrounding
the place where the fire had it's origin
was what caused all the trouble In
order to retain a frigid atmosphere in
the beef storage section sawdust had
been packed into a space eight feet
wide between the walls. This saw
dust became ignited, presumably from
spontaneous combustion, and although
streams of water from more than a
score of engines were poured into the
space between the walls it had no no.
ticeable effect on the fire for four
hours. All this time the men were
fighting an unseen fire. as the flames
were invisible.

.SMASHUP ON THE SANTA Re.
Three Persons Killed, Two Fatally
and Many Badly Hurt.
The wreck was Caused by CoIIa-
sion Between the California
Iimited and Freight.

Las Vegas, N. NJ, Jan. 13.-Several
train men are dead in the heap OF
wreckage and many passengers were
badly bruised in q head-on collision
between the California limited on the
Santa Fe and a freight train near
Wagon Mound, three miles south OF RAJ
ton. The trains met in fog.
A late report from Wagon Mound
states that three persons were killed
and two fatally injured.
The dead:
A. M. Cochran, fireman, Melvin, Kas.
-. Grueneberg, fireman, Kansas
City.
Philip Freinensheiner, who had
charge of the compartment car.
Fatally injured:
#. G.. Boomer, engineer.
p. A. Allison, engineer.

The injured are in the hospital.
A score of persons were injured, but
none of them fatally, so far as known.
Among the injured are Engineer F. G..
Boomer, of the freight, and Engineer
Allison, of the limited.
The wreck is one of the worst that
has ever occurred on the Las Vegas di-
vision of the Santa Fe system, both
in the way of casualties and pecuniary
loss. The trains met on long hill in
dense fog. The passenger, which had
the right of way over tho freight, was
bowling along at 40 miles an hour. The
freight was descending The incline, and
also was making fast time in an effort
to reach Upton before the limited ar
rived
The impact of the two trains was
terrific, and wreckage from the two en-
gines, baggage and express cars and
freight cars was hurled in the air in
every direction. Both engines are al
most totally ruined, and the track and
right of way is piled with debris. The
passenger train was heavily laden
and the occupants of the cars were
hurled from their seats and berths
with great violence. A majority OF
them sustained bruises by being thrown
against the sides of the cars and the
eeats. Many of them were cut about
the heads and faces by pieces of glass
from the car windows, which were
shattered into thousands of fragments
The engine crew of the limited, ow
ing to the deose fog, could not see the
freight until it was too late to jump
Engineer Allison in "a flash closed his
throttle and applied the air brakes, bu
the train was under such tremendous
speed that no earthly power could STOP
it..
The wrecked passenger train was the
east-bound California limited, made ur
entirely of Pullman cars. The dining
compartment and baggage cars were
smashed, but the sleepers were no
much damaged. Traffic was annuile.
