CHICAGO MAN
FOR GOVERNOR
Farmer LOWden" Thought
to Be the Winner.
HIS AGGRESSIVE CHARACTER
Would Be the First Republican Execu-
tive From Windy City-Raises
Chickens and Beef.

CHICAGO. May 9-In the century OF
her existence Chicago has never given a
Republican governor to the State Of I'LL
nOis.
Frank o. Lowden. son-in-law Of George
NJ. Pullman. is regarded as likely to
break this record. As candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor he
stands an excellent chance Of victory
at the party convention in Springfield
this month. His nomination, good poll
ticians say. would almost insure his
election
Mr.. Lowden is a unique and a strong
character. He is described as lawyer
orator. farmer. reformer. patriot man
Of wealth and culture" His opponents
are having fun over the fact that he
owns farm and raises grain and cat
tie, hogs and chickens They speak OF
him sarcasucaHy as Farmer" Lowder
and say he affects felt boots. SLOUGH
hats and corncob pipes to catch the
agricultural vote. He takes all this
raiIlery in good spirit and turns il &c
his advantage when making speeches
among the farmers.
A Good Mixer.
In his trips over the counties Mr.
Lowden, although a director in the Pull
man Company. has ridden repeatedly
from town to town in freight train
cabOoses. Where there were no rail-
ways he has bumped over county roads
in spring wagons and bobsleds. He has
been in most of the counties Of the
State, and. whether they are for him for
governor or not. every Republican has
confessed that he likes Frank Lowden
The story of the life Of Mr. Lowdeu
is an interesting one. Born fOrty-three
years ago at the frontier post OF sun
rise. Chesago county MINI, the son OF
a blacksmith, he went with his father

ed in the fields until he was fifteen,

salary OF 81. 800 Il year for one In Chicago

Farm Life Charms Him.

He practiced law until he mad built up
a business worth $4,000 a year. saved a
tidy sum CT his earnings, married Miss
Florence Pullman in 1886, and since then
has given his attention to business af-
fairs connected with the Pullman Com
pany and other important institutions.
Much Of his time, however, is spent on
his Ogle county farm, where ne owns
the $500 championship short-horn bull
Of the world, and raises chickens for the
Chicago market in one Of the biggest
incubator and poultry plants in the
West.
Mr.. LOwden never held a public office,
but IL Is his own fault. President Nc
kinley wanted 10 make him First As
sIstant Postmaster General but he de-
Clined the honor About handling con
venuons, swinging delegations. and do
ing all the other feats Of practical poll
tics, Mr.. LOwden knows nothing.
He has been a lobbyist at Springfield,
however. for many reform measures be
fore the Legislature, and has been
identified with many movements in Chi
CagO for the betterInent of the public
service. He is interested now in getting
a new clarter for the city, so that its
material progress may not be hampered.

Milk Is Boiled.

After one or two hours, when the
milk has ceased to flow. the contents Of
the reCeptacles are united and boiled
over a fire to finish the partial coagu-
Iation.
The gutta percha gathered in this
way pays well for the amount Of work
expended. The two vital defects Of the
method are:
l. Il is very wastefuI. the yield from
each tree being but a small proportion
Of the total mount the quantity rang
ing from one-fourth of a pound TO two
pounds per tree.
2. II leaves the future unprOvided for.
The natives invariably fell the trees.
and the only saving feature of. the stu
alton is that only full grown trees con-
tain enough gutta percha 10 repay the
work OF telling. Otherwise the com
piete determination of the gutta percha
forests would be but matter Of short
time.

established in 1899. the Telling Of the
gutJa percha trees was prohibited, and

Islands such as Aiudanao and Tawi-
Tawi cannot stand this for any length

NATIVES FELL THE TREES

The Bureau Of Insular Affairs, War
Department. has received from the Blu
reau OF Government Laboratories at
Manila. a bulletin which treats Of gutta
percha and rubber in the Philippine Isl
Gnds, from which the following items Of
general interest have been taken.
The commercial history Of gutta per
cha runs parallel with that Of subma-
rine and subterranean electric cables,
for throc-fourths Of all the gutta pro
duced has been used on them. With the
construction Of the great transatlantic
cables in the sixties and seventies the
demand for gutta percha became enor-
nous When the Malay Peninsula, ad-
jaccnt to Singapore, failed TO supply
sufficient quantities TO meet the demand

pelagO and Sumatra were invaded ana
rich finds made. Finally Borneo was in
Guided in the producing zone, and lastly
the Philippines.
Area Is Limited.
The area of distribution of gutta is
sharply defined. Beyond the 9th degree
north on the Malay Peninsula the trees
become scarce or cease altogether; on
the northern end of Sumatra they are
on Sumatra. contains none, and Celebes
to the east Of BomeO, has been found
equally destitute. This area Includes
some 100000 square miles Of land, Of
which only a very small per cent is or
ever was covered by gutta percha trees.
In the Philippines the regions which
produce gutta percha for market are
confined TO the islands of Mindanao and

The idea Of the propriety Of house

its origin TO a very natural feeling that

of work IL she can do another kind

and more in accordance with her ma

Wherever a woman can best employ
her powers, there is her sphere. As
she lives best for herself, so she lives
