ing popularity known as "The Fighting

lows paper published an expose of the

a Prohibition party nominee.
His enemies, by reason Of their political
influence managed to trump up charges
against him in the church, but the ver-
dict of fifteen brother clergymen declared
that he had told the truth in twenty
specifications of falsehood. Thus vindi-
Gated at every point by both civil and re-
ligious courts, DR.. Swallow has contin-
ued through the columns of his paper, to
pour the hottest kind of hot shot against
all kinds. of corruption.

born at Plains, Pa, March 5, 1885,. Edu-
Gated at Wyoming Seminary and Sus-
duehanna University, he, in 1862, entered

THE MINNESOTA ELECTION LAW

THE MINNESOTA ELECTION LAW.
requires the payment Of $4,000 for the
entering Of name upon the state
ballot. Hence we have filed but one
name for presidential eIector, feeling
that the money could be expended
more wisely otherwise.
Prohibitionists are urged to vote
for only that one eiector, and not to
vote for ten Of the enemy's nominees,
which would be giving the prohibition
party one-eleventh Of your support,
and the enemy ten-eIevenths.

Plated Skirts

with all these different coats, plated
skirts are to be worn. for walking
skirts there is one style which Is 70
be extremely popular. It is made with
broad box plaits going all the way
aroundethe skirt, plaits perhaps three
or four iRches wide in front. growing
gradually wider toward the back.
These plaits are laid close together so
that the edges meet and they are
stitched on both edges. In front the
stitching extends perhaps twelve in
ches, in the back IL is a trifle shorter,
giving a graceful line to the skirt.
These broad box plaits give a great
deal of fulness, some OF the skirts
measuring fully seven and a half yards
around the bottom.
While this = to be the most popular
walking skirt OF the season, there are.
OF course. other STYLES (which will be
worn; gored skirts with plaits reaching
20 the knee, set into the seams. There
are also a gfeat tmanS scred skirts that
are trimmed with Stitched bands set
on below, the belt TO SIMULATE a yoke.

all lengths; generally this is a con-
tinuation Of some trimming on the
blouse or coat. ~ ~ ctl
There is one new walking skirt which
is cut with very narrow cores and a
narrow box plait set into each seam
and carried almost up to the belt
Skirts cut in this way are often carried
up above the waist line and form a
sort Of pointed bodice. II is a style
which has been much used in Paris
during the late summer but whether or
not It is to be favored here is an un-
settled question: The skirt coming
just to the ankle Is to be almost uni
versally used for street wear, but
there are rumors of the long. sweeping
train for more elaborate gowns, In
deed, these dresses are cut now from
six to ten inches longer in the back
than in front. and the evening gowns
to be made up little later will doubt
less be made with trains fully half a
yard long. SO, II you have gowns left

Vigorous Music.

John Philip Sousa was conducting a
concert at Exposition Music Hall, Pitts
burg. The famous bandmaster was en-
crossed in extracting from his organi-
zation the sweet, soft harmonies of an
Oriental love song. A loud and prolong-
ed blast was footed by a steamboat
plying the Allegheny river. Instantly
the directors baton was directed to-
ward the disturbing whistle, as though
he would have a more dulcet tone from
the offending captain. Instead he re-
ceived a most deafening response from
the huge steam whistle. The disguised
conductor now turned toward his mu-
sicians and with a violent waving of
his arms brought forth such a roar
from the drums and brasses that II
there was any further demonstration on
the part Of the steamboat II was not
heard in the music hall
At the conclusion Of the concert Mr..
Sousa said to one Of the directors: "The

That picturesque figure, Francis W.
Cushman. of the State of Washington,
has breezy and original mode of ex-
pressing himself at times.
A year or two ago Mr.. Cushman. who
was extremely desirous Of reaching
Washington in order to attend an extra
session of Congress. experienced con-
siderable delay in reaching his destina-
tion. When ne did the session was
about at an end. The delay had been
occasloned by lawsuit in which Cush-
man was interested which necessitated
his going to Alaska. He estimated that
counting the trip to Alaska from the
State of Washington and back the jour
ney to Washington had caused him to
travel more than seven thousand miles.
So when Mr.. Cushman arrived at the
national capital he was, as he himself
confessed. bit cross. In reply to a
question by a friend whether. after the
long and rough johrney, he was not
sore" the Washington man replied:
"Sorel 1 should say 1 wasl l am
sore from the umbilicus to the Eu-
pirates and from the home base to the
equator"
And as he gave vent to this remark
able expression the Representative in
dicated by sundry gestures the portions
of his injured anatomy presumed tC

Life in Modern Flats

The increased tendency Of the
dwellers in cities to live in nats or
apartment houses is causing consid-
cradle alarm on the part OF the stu
dents OF sociological questions. 1t is
urged that this manner of living de-
stroys the real home life so essential
TO the welfare Of society. one OF the
greatest objections urged oeainst the
fiat is that where there are children
they are deprived Of contact with
mother earth and consequens healthy
and natural growth. And this also Is
true OF adults. TO many the sight OF
brick and stone, and pavement, which
greets the eye OF the urban resident
becomes wearisome, ana there is in
tense longing Cor grass and verdure
and the pure bracing air OF the sub
urbs. where cottages with generous
gardens can be secured. The atmos-
phere of the fiat is not wholesome. and
the opportunities for the larger life
which the thinking woman longs for
are greatly restricted by its narrow
confnes.-M Madame.

WOMEN CAN KEEP YOUNG

Ohio Woman Tells the Secret.--May
Explain Youthful Looks of Some in
Wilmington.
The old saying that a woman is as
old as she looks, can scarcely be gain
said. There are many women of so
who do not look over thirty and some
of thirty who look fully fifty; the diff
ference being caused by sickness. The
wrinkles, the drawn lines of suffering,
the emaciation, nine times out of ten
come from a weakened or disordered
stomach.

In apparent perfect health, Mr.. Tiffany, a
well-to-do New England manufacturer Of

ness right along, but suddenly he dropped
dead. The case was announced later as an
accumulation of uric acid in the blood-one
of the last and most fatal stages of kidney

been a startling increase in kidney troubles,
and that one-third of all deaths results from
this cause.

Ifthere is the tiniest quantity Of uric acid

thatyour kidneys are diseased, because It is
the duty of the kidneys TO remove this dead

course, If the kidneys are not healthy they
cannot perform their work properly, and
the longer they run without treatment the

King Victor, Of Italy. is very fond
of fishing, but unfortunately he very
seldom succeeds in catching many fish.
The other day. after fishing for several
hours, he was returning home with
three perch no bigger than sprats in
his bag, when he met a peasant who
had also been fishing and had caught
several splendid trout.
We'll, neighbor / see you haven't
caught many" said the peasant. with
a laugh, yet I don't see why. for
they're biting good today. 1 guess
you're the same kind Of fisherman our
king is"
"What do you mean2" asked King
Victor, blushing furiously.
"Oh," replied the peasant, 1--WE all
know him. He thinks himself a great
sportsman, but he's no good at fishing
] suppose the Lord thought twas
enough to make him a king without
making him at the same time a good
sportsman"
