WHOLESALE CORRUPTION.
Charged in the Recent Election Held
in the Third Ward.

Orvar G. Rosing asserts that the
election of Claus Mumm to the office
Of alderman of the Third ward was
secured by wholesale crOokednesS, in
which many different men were in
volved
The contest papers of the Demo-
cratic candidate were filed in the dis
trict court Monday, and besides being
sensational, the appeal is the strongest
that has ever been filed in any case.
The election machinery in third of
the districts of the ward was corrupt,
if the charges made are true. 1t is as
serted that in the eighteen precincts of
the ward thirty-siX votes which should
have been counted for Mr.. Rosing
We're thrown out as spoiled ballots,
and that eighteen more votes were
counted for Mr.. Mumm. the Republic
can candidate, instead of the man who
is now appealing.
Louis Freedman, Il Mumm worker,
is charged with having offered Joseph
| Kron 50 to vote for the Third ward
alderman and then to 80 home instead
of continuing his work for Mr.. ROsing
Kron is said to have done as he was
asked to do. This was in the four
teentl district.
! 1t is asserted further that in the
same district Mr.. Friedman marked
the ballots of Charles Fienbcrg and
Max Epstein for Mumm when they
should have been for ROsing. The men
could not read and write and had to
have some one to mark their ballots.
Twenty votes were lost in the sixth
district through the instrumcntality of
James Kane, if the charges made are
true. 1t is asserted there were many
men who did not vote for either candi-
date, as they belonged to the public
ownership party. The blank spaces
left by some of these are alleged to
have been filled by Kane.
1t is said that six votes were
counted wrongly in the eighteenth pro
cinct; also that John Demuss marked
the ballots of thirty Italians for the
Republican candidate. No man has Il
right to mark more than three ballots
for others. 1t is asserted that one E;l-
ton, who was acting as election Judge
in the same district, was openly elcc-
tionecring for Mr.. Munm.
Still another charge relating to the
eighteenth district is one relating To
Frank Hall. 1t is claimed that on
Nov. 8, all the other judges and clerks
having gone from the polling place
Mr. Hall fell asleep. The doors to the
offices were open and the ballots were
scattered all around.
In the seventeenth district twelve
ballots were lost outright IL is nj.
legged that twelve for Mr.. Munlm were
substituted.
The appeal Of Mr.. Rosing will come
up before one of the judges of the dis
trict court Dec. 3 on a motion for tho
appointment of three referees to cX-
anime and inspect the ballots.

this year will be successful. Farmer"
Hays has been a prominent figure in
typographical politics, both local and
international, for many years and is
perhaps as well known in printing cir
cles the country over as any one, hav-
ing attended many international con-
ventions besides twice making the run
for vice president. This year it is
not expected there will be any for
midabe opposition, as Mr.. Hawkes.,
the present incumbent, is out for pres
ident against James M. Lynch. SYRIA
cuse union is looking after the cam
paign Of Mr.. Lynch and it is predicted
by many that he will succeed himself
as chief executive. Nominations will
be made for international officers at
the next regular meeting.
The convention of the International
union will be held at ST Louis the
coming summer, and the race for the
honor of representing the union as
delegates will be a. lively one. Altho
the election does not take place until
the third Wednesday in May, there
are already several prospective candi-
dates in the field. It is announced
that Mr.. Hays will not be a candidate

BEAUTY OF SKIN

Ancient and Modern Ideas on

uP.To.DATE METHODS
For Purifying and Beautifying
the Skin, Scalp, Hair

Socrates called beauty q short-lived
tyranny, Plato privilege of nature,
Theocritus, a delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom, Homer glorious
gift Of nature, Ovid favor of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters of rec.
concentration in the world, and yet
none Of these distinguished authorities
has left US even a hint of how beauty
Is to be perpetuated, or the ravages OF
age and disease defied. Time soon
blends the lily and the rose into the
pallor of age, disease dots the fair face
with 'cutaneous designations and
crimsons the Roman nose with insight
ly flushes, moth, II not rust, corrupts
the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet
beautiful by defacing the complexion,
and fills the sensitive soul with agony.
If such be the unhappy condition Of
one afflicted with slight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those in
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to be-
come a part Of the system until death?
It Is in the treatment of torturing,

the skin. SCRIP and blood, with loss of
hair, that the Cuticura remedies have
achieved their greatest success. Orig

B. I. COUNCIL
LIKES DECISION
REGARDS SUPREME COURT RUL-
ING AS VICTORY.
Election of Officers Last Night Re-
suited in Choice of George b. How
ley as President-Resolutio AS to
Public Service Franchises Are
Passed.

Important matters came UP for con-
sideration at last nights meeting of
the Building Trades Council. Interest
centered chiefly in the report of the
executive committee, which brought
up the supreme court decision in the
Cray injunction proceedings. The
board reported having had a confer
ence with the councils attorneys at
which the award of the supreme court
was gone over in all it's phases and the
whole case considered. 1t is the opin-
ion of the attorneys that the decision
is decided victory for the council.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, George B. How
ley; vice president, P. Jordan; secreta-
ry-treasurer, P. Carlin; sergeant-at-
arms, August Johnson; executive
board, j. c. Nelson, w. T. Carpenter,
Ray Reece, J. p. Mclaughlin, G. L.
Frye and E. A. Shappi.
Action was taken upon the city's
granting of public-service franchises
to corporations without adequate COM
pensation. The question came up last
night upon the adoption of resolutions
objecting to the city councils giving
a long-term franchise to the General
taken to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the Trades Assembly at its next
meeting, and it is thought that organ
iZation will select a committee to, han
die the project. All unions IN the city
will be asked to cooperate in the
movement, which is said to be the be-
ginning Of an effort on the part of the
labor unions to get more for the gen
eral public from corporations Of this
character.
The resolutions adopted follow:
Whereas, The General Electric company
Of this city is endeavoring to secure a
franchise from the city council for long
term Of years, thereby having a monopoly
on electric lighting in this city; and
Whereas, We, as citizens Of this city,
have already entered a protest against
the granting of said franchise, believing it
to be detrimental to the best interests OF
the citizens Of this city; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the action and vote OF
each alderman in the city council be care
fully watched and a record Of the same
be preserved for future reference SO that
we can hold each alderman responsible for
his actions and vote upon this question at
future elections; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tons be sent to the Trades and Labor
Assembly, with request that they indorse
the same and cooperate with us in this
matter
