INSTALL HELLO" SYSTEM
HOTEL DACRES TO SOON BE
CONNECTED WITH CITY
SERVICE.
Private System Of Fifty Phones Will
Soon Be PIaced-Switchbo
Is Here.

A private telephone system connect
ing every room in the hotel with the
city service of the Pacific States Tel
phone company will be installed at
the Hotel Dacres shortly. The switch
board has been received at the local
telephone exchange and an expert
from San Francisco is expected short
~ to install the system.
In all there will be about fifty phones
placed in the hotel, each room being
directly connected with the city SER
vice. The services of two operators
will be required to operate the ex-
change. In many of the leading hotels
in the cities private telephone systems
have been installed The service has
proven so satisfactory that Manager
Catron some time ago conceived the
idea of putting in a private exchange
and the matter was taken up with the
Pacific States company, with the re-
suit that the hotel will be fully
equipped in short time.

Glass Skates.

The young mans skates were made
of glass. They glittered like diamonds
in the cold winter sunlight He skated
upon them very skillfully.
Glass skates" he said, beat steel
ones. They slip along better than the
steel: you can skate on rous h ice bet
ter with them. Another advantage is
that they never need sharpening.
Ground sharp in the beginning, they
keep sharp as long as they last A
third advantage is that they don't rust,
and hence, to prevent rust, it isn't ne
cessary to rub them dry With &
channels every time you take them Off
They are very expensive, though.
To make a glass hard enough to make
skate runners is an expensive process.
Hence, till the process becomes less
costly, glass skates won't be COM
mon.''

How a Hat Made Senator.

"Tne story is told in Missouri that
to the ceiling of the hall of the house
in the capitol at Jefferson City, made
Francis Marion Cockrell a United
States senator. The stateh da been
stirred by a contest for the demo-
cratic nomination for the governor
ship. The lines were sharply drawn.
In a state convention numbering a
thousand delegates, Charles H. Hardin
had won by the narrow margin of half
a vote So bitter was the feeling that
the leaders feared irreconcilable divi-
sion in the party ranks.
The result, however, had scarcely
been announced when the tall figure OF
the defeated candidate, General Cock
rell, was seen coming to the platform.
In a moment, as the hush of expect
ancy fell upon the crowd, Cockrells
voice rang out:
mo man. said he, will more loyalty
support the nominee of the convention
than myself. No man will throw MS
hat higher for Charley Hardin than
Will T.
And away to the ceiling went the
broad brimmed Cockrell hat. The con-
vention was frantic with enthusiasm.
The following spring General Cockrell
became senator by the unanimous
vote of the democrats of Missouri
For five successive terms, since
March 4, 1875, with never democratic
| vote against him, ne has been elected
to the senaIorship, the first and only
political office he ever held. Now at
last the republican victory in Missouri
means his retirement. But President
Roosevelt will name him on the inter-
state commerce commission.

ATTORNEY FALLS FIVE STORIES.
Claude S. SniveIy Meets Instant Death
Suicide Theory Discredited.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 24.-Claude S.
Snively, a young attorney, fell from
the fifth story of the Lonsdale building
on the principal business corner of
Duluth at S:25 o'clock this morning
and was instantly killed.
The sight was a most horrible one.
The young man struck head first on a
spiked iron railing and then fell on
the stone sidewalk with his blood and
brains scattered all about. Not a sign
of life was evident when he was
reached by the first eye witness.
The manner of the accident is diff
cult to determine. There were but
one or two witnesses and they only
saw him in the air as he was falling.
He was in the office of Washburn,
Bailey & Mitchell, and was alone at
the time.
Some impression prevails that it may
have been suicide, but there seems to
be nothing to substantiate this theory.
The theory of his employers is that
he leaned from the open window to get
a view of the town clock and lost his
balance He was 81, of excellent
habits, moved in good society and was
building up a practice of his own as
well as working in the office of the
firm.
ST Snively, a brother, is one of
Duluth's leading business men and
twenty years or more. The two
roomed at the same house and the
brother declares that the theory Of SUI
eide is impossible.

CAPITOL scAREs THE RAILROADS
Transportation Chiefs Dread Extra
Session-Fear Rate Bill.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The Herald
Washington correspondent sends the
following dispatch:
Railroad presidents are regarding
the struggle between President Roose-
welt and the senate with ill-disguised
concern. They have only to maintain
their present position and nothing will
be done by the senate on the subject
of giving the interstate commerce
commission power to make rates, fur
Their than to postpone action.
The railroads, however, are not sure
this would be safe proceeding in
view of the changed relations which
are now apparent. On the contrary,
under certain conditions, they may
favor action at once.
Some of the most important railroad
men in the country have been asking
Washington what will be the effect of
the contest upon the president in re-
gard to an extra session. They fear if
the contest goes on-and there are in
dications Roosevelt is ready to try
conclusions with the senate immediate
ly-the president will call an ex-
ira session in the spring. If that
should happen, the railroads will not
be in good shape to meet demand
from Roosevelt that congress pass
either the Escn- Townsend bill or an
equally radical measure.
The new house will contain about
100 republicans who have never sat in
congress before, and who were elect
ed on the Roosevelt tidal wave. These
might carry through the house an
even more radical bill than that which
passed with sucn an overwhelming
majority last week.
The next senate, too, will be far
different from that which is now sit
ting. There are dozen new members
and the railroads do not know whether
they agree with the president or the

MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE WILL
PRESENT HIS EQUATORIAL
METHODS.
1t Is Claimed That He Ignores the
Legislators and That He Is
Overbearing.

If the house continues in the same
temper as it was yesterday afternoon.
Speaker Megler will find his every de-
cision questioned and his position
anything but pleasant. Throughout
the session he has displayed dicta-
torial turn of mind, is the story print
ed in the Tacoma News. He has met
with little or no opposition and his
control has not been disturbed.
Until recently, though, he has not
been particularly unfair, and while
dissatisfaction has at times been ex-
pressed, there has been no open revolt
Monday afternoon, the house. desir-
ing to follow the lead of the senate
wished to adjourn until Thursday. The
motion to adjourn until Tuesday was
lost, but the speaker declared it car
ried and dissolved the session. He
gave no opportunity appeal Had
he announced the vote as it really was,
the house would at once have put
into effect the motion to adjourn till
Thursday.
The speaker had his way and the
house worked yesterday. AT noon the
motion to take the usual midday re-
cess was offered by Williams. Both
was On his feet at once, demanding
recognition. He addressed the chair
at least four times. His voice rose
higher on each occasion. The last
time the chamber was absolutely quiet.
the house evidently believing that
some sort of a storm was impending.
The speaker paid no attention to the
gentleman from Whatcom, but calmly
put the motion and ordered the recess
At that it was doubtful whether the
actual count would not have given
the nays the decision.
After the session Roth met the
speaker on the floor of the house and
demanded an explanation. Mr.. Megler
insisted that he had neither seen nor
heard Roth This closed the incident
In the afternoon the house tried to
adjourn at o'clock. Evidently
thinking this time to please the men,
bers, the speaker announced the mo-
ton as carried. Out of perversity the
house demanded a roll call, and on
this being taken voted down the mo-
ton.
During the progress of the call, G1ea-
son. of King, rose to explain his vote.
He was cut short by the speaker de-
claring that he would tolerate no
speech. From that on there was
scarcely an AYE" for the motion. A
little later the house did adjourn, but
it did so if it's own accord and not
at the speakers dictation.
The members say now that Megler's
attitude means trouble for him, and
that no leniency will be shown him
when the Struggle is once begun.

ROSE HAS A RIVAL IN CHICAGO.
Stagg Found Athletic Giant Who Is a
Coming Record Breaker.

CHICAGO, Ills, Feb. 24.-COach
Stagg has found an athletic giant who
promises to rival the wonder Rose.
The Maroon find however, differs in
that he has no inclination to challenge
Jeffries and in that he is first a stu
dent and then an athlete.
Merrill C. Meigs is the new athletic
wonder at the Midway school. He
was born in Iowa, but after complet
ing his preliminary education at little
Helmer academy, in Maine, he accept
ed a position as salesman and for the
last four years he mas been abroad and
in the South American countries. He
from Argentina last fall and has been
dubbed" by the Chicago students as
the South American giant
Meigs hasn't the immense stature Of
Rose, but at that is a very large man.
Although but q years of age, he is s
feet inches tall and weighs 215
pounds. His development is wonder
fully symmetrical and mas been char
acterized by Coach Stage as "a per-
feet specimen of the young college
| athlete in stature"
The coach has found his muscles
we'll developed and trained to a superb
degree of coordination. Although
Meigs has had but little actual expe-
rience in college athletics, his wonder
full strength and build and natural ath-
F! letic instinct and alertness have won
Stages heart.
! Meigs entered the university last
! fall as a special student, and was
therefore not eligible for football He
was used on the freshman team, how
ever, and is thought to be one of the
honors in the west for next year
Coach Stage is expecting great things
of him.
1t is his work in winter baseball
practice that is opening the eyes Of
the Midway coaches now. Coacl
Harper sees in the young giant an
other Christy Matthewson or Jake
Stanl Meigs was captain and frs
baseman and pitcher of his academy
ball team and led in batting. He ha:
demonstrated to Coach Harper by hi:
indoor work that the loss of Ellis
worth to the Maroon pitching stat
will be materially offset by his prov
ness.
While Coach Maloney has not givel
nim good workout in the weigh
poets of a great hammer tnrower, AM
as soon as it is possible to have TIL
candidates work outdoors he propose
to have Meigs try to throw the bi!
weight over the Marshall Field fence
He believes that he can do it.
Unusual for an athlete and
wreshman, Meigs has established
reputation as student at the univer
sity, standing A in mis- studies for tn
year He is a member of the fresh
man honor society, the Three-Qua
tiers club and of the Phi Kappa Ps
fraternity.

DR.. Minton incurred executive dis

Supreme Judge H. E. Hadley, for clerk
of the board of normal trustees in

Schools E. E. White, whom Mr..
Mead is credited with a desire to re-
ward for political services. Gov. Mead's
local friends fear MS action will
arouse the bitter antagonism of Judge
Hadley's friends.
Although DR.. Minton's action in
voting for r. o. Hadley for clerk of

of E. E. White cost him his position,
it is not generally believed the COVER
