STOCK YARDS TROUBLE
BOTH PARTIES CLAIM VICTORY
New Men Quit, but Others in Greater
Number Go to work-Presidents
Position.

Chicago, Aug. both parties to the
trouble at the stock yards allcge that
they are winning. The packers say
they have practically won their fight,
while the strikers insist that it will
be only short time when they will
resume their old places OH their own
terms. Three hundred of the new
men walked out of the yards and were
escorted by strikers out of the neigh
borhood with great Joy. The men quit
because the company paid them in
checks and it was dangerous for them
to go outside the yards to get them
cashed. To replace these men 1000
new men We're received at the yards,
many of the new men being skilled Ia
bOrerS.
Four leaders of the allied bodies Wis
tied the packers to ascertain ON what
terms their men would be taken back
and We're told that they would be re-
employed only as fast us conditions
warranted, and then us individuals,
not as members of the union. A propo-
sition to send letter to President
Roosevelt, asking him to use his infiu.
ence to bring the packers to terms, was
declined by Donnelly, who said he did
not need the presidents help, as he
could win without it. The freight and
live stock handlers are still at work.
A Washington dispatch says that
the president has decided that there is
nothing in the situation in the stock
yards strike that calls for any interfer-
ence or mediation from Washington.
The men held meetings yesterday, ut
which the general declaration was that
the fight must go on to finish now.

the money to the plant to pay off the

with blow on the head and took the
money. Two arrests have been made.

Those Women Ballot Suffers.

Elnora Monroe Babcock, superinten.
dent of press work for the nationa
woman suffrage association, writes tbs
/ Reformer in regard to the reported
| frauds committed by women In the
| Denver election. She says that the
! frauds committed by men at the same
4 election were 100 times greater than
those committed by the women: that
! Hon. John Shafroth who recently re-
signed his seat in congress on account
of election frauds. together with a
half dozen other prominent citizens OF
Denver, pronounced the reports out
rageous lies" saying that few persons
implicated in the frauds were women,
and these We're at the instigation OF
the men, only 100 OF the 5000 fraudu-
lent votes cast being by women. Mrs.
Babcock declares that the whole thing
Is evidently planned attempt OF an
t-suffragists to bring woman suffrage
into disrepute. The exhibit 81" at
Washington, which furnished food for
the newspapers is declared to be in
evidence, the woman
who accused herself and others OF
cheating simply making her affidavit
and skipping, without cross examina-
ton Suffragists suspect that she was

Mrs. Babcock closes with this asser-
ton: Women have been voting in |

ten years and in Idaho and Utah for /
eight years and this is the first in |

To Buy a Million Acres.

Herbert Myrick, president of the Or
ange Judd and Phelps Publishing
companies, and editor of their publ
cations was in Texas last week on his
way to Mexico in the interest of a
large constituency of farmers in the
east who wish to better their condi-
ton by coming west or southwest.
Mr. Myrick expects, II he finds just
the kind of land sought, to contract
for the purchase of 100000 acres, up
on which the syndicate expects to To-
cate at least 5000 or 1000 first class
American farmers, with capital, house
hold goods, farming implements and
live stock.
Mr.. Myrlck states that he and his
associates have long had this plan of
cooperative colonization in Mexico
under consideration. He states that
the boom of emigration to the British
possessions in the northwest Is about
ended. The choicest lands have been
taken; what is now for sale is increas-
ing in price to such an extent that
men of moderate means can no longer
secure large farms. Hence, attention
IS now turned to Mexico.
Mr.. Myrick, on his return east, will
stop in Texas and make an investiga-
ion of the opportunities here, and
possibly some of the colonists may be
coated in Texas-Fort Worth Tele-
,ram.

All these butterflies and moths here

One Way to be Attractive.

The housekeeper has many things on
her mind, but she should not neglect
giving at least ten minutes out of ev-
cry twenty-four hours to her own per-
sonal attractiveness. Every boy and
girl thinks mamma" is beautiful, and
why should she not be universally ad-
mired, even though not beautiful by
nature, If her appearance shows she
has taken care of her complexion? Ev-
cry night, just before you retire, try
washing your face with good SOAP rims
ing and drying well, then rubbing with
a solution made of two parts of rose
water, one part of glycerine and the
juice of two lemons. Have enough on
to make the face moist, and rub until
the skin Is rosy-red. II there are any
around your eyes or mouth,
be careful that you do not rub parallel
with them, but straight through, eros
sing them. The effect will surprise
you. The freckles, tan and wrinkles
will gradually grow dim, leaving a
soft, pink-white smooth skin.-January

stitution House In Windsor: II see II
has been suggested that the Vermont
building at the st. Louis fair should
be n reproduction OF the old Constitu-
ton House in Windsor. | think that
would be a mistake looked over that
old building two years ago with a
good deal of reverence. as my great
grandfather was a member of the leg
islature that sat in Windsor in 1881
and again in 1883. and 7 supposed that
was looking at the veritable building
in which he had figured as a Vermont
solon. After examining the records
l do not think there Is n particle of
evidence that any legislative body
ever sat I'm that building to do any
state business. The delegates to the
constitutional convention were called
to order and organized in the meet
Ing house. and as the minutes state
they adjourned, in the course of time,
TO that hostelry and probably they adj
journed TO IL many times, My expert
ence in examining early town records
Is that the town meetings often adj
journed to the local tavern not TO do
business, but to get drink. In Bar
nard, where | was brought up, the
town records have It: Voted. that this !
meeting adjourn to Esquire Chaney's |
tavern for Is minutes That was the |
limit allowed for filling up with the I
spirit of the times 1t Is almost too /
bad TO spoil good story, or n sacred
