INFAMOUS INTERFERENCE.

The Kansas City Journal says;
The fight of Thomas w. Lawson
to change the heads of the New
York Life, the Mutual and the
Metropolitan through proxies has
finally percolated into the west
Some days ago 1t was discovered
that +. II. Hartman had issued
orders to all employees on the
Southern Pacific, of which he is
president to not favor Lawson
with proxies, and assuring those
in his employ who did so would
not retain their jobs. Later it
seems a similar plan has been ap-
piled to the Union Pacific and
Alton and all Hartman lines. A
Union Pacific man who has a
policy in the Mutual, received
word direct that he should not
give a proxy to Lawson, but was
The newspaper., 1905-12-15

assured that he might have a
chance to give his proxy to the
anti-Lawson crowd later The
railroad men generally expect to
be advised about how to fight
Lawson. While no railroad head
but Hartman has acted as yet, it
is believed the same plan Will be
united upon through the influence
OF the insurance combination.
While Hartman, as shown by the
Investigations. has operated eX-
tensively with insurance money,
the insurance crowd has a sub
stantial hold on all roads and
will probably pull all strings at
their command to retain control.
The hard fight in Texas and
Louisiana finally resulted in a
resolution TO favor Lawson with
proxies. Similar action has been
taken in Oregon, California, Mon
tana and Idaho. In the east, town
and county meetings are frequent
punching proxies and sending
them to Lawson for use. There
is talk of similar meetings in Mis-
souri, and Kansas. So far no start
has been made, but a call for a
meeting OF policyholders it is be-
lieved would be responded to
and would give direction to an
effort to change the management
of insurance funds"

READY-MADE EDITORIAL.

The following was clipped from
the Gunnison Republican this
week. AT this writing we have
read the same thing in three other
papers, all more or less the bene-
fciaries of the republican literary
bureau that at present is editing
so many country papers in this
state:
Senator Patterson's effort to be-
smirch the fair name OF our honor
able Supreme Court through his
dirty articles in his newspapers
have proven a boomerange. His
articles have simply proven his
small, cowardly nature. When he
pays his $1,000 fine, which he will
be compelled to do, and is con-
demned by all honorable journal
lists, he will conclude that throw
ing dirt and trying to injure the
fair name of individuals and
courts is not a very brilliant af-
fair. Any man who will get
behind newspaper to try to in
jure the good name of others
(simply becaure he controls a
paper) is a low, cowardly nothing

EDITORIALETTES.
From Bryan's Commoner.

Senator Elkins' bill for the reg
ulation of the railroads does not
seem to be causing any worry in
the railroad camp.
Some of those eminent wit
nesses in the insurance inve5tiga-
tions testified very much like
men who had taken the oath
with a mental reservation.
The next cattle baron arrested
on the charge of illegally fencing
a couple of hundred thousand
acres of government land will
probably receive an apology
from the Judge for the trouble
caused him.
Senator Patterson of Colorado
has been fined $1,000 for "con
structive contempt to the su-
preme court. Doubtless the SEN
ator thinks that is a bargain
counter price to pay for the i'm
mense amount of contempt he
has accumulated.

plores the fact that some peoole

appropriately at the time when
one hundred thousand men and
women are striving to be next in
line to pay one cent of the Sen
ator's fine. If Patterson is what
the scribe alleges how do you ac-
count for it that so large a con-
tingent of the people are behind
him on the question? Truly the
editorial syndicate should study
up or disband. 1t takes a man in

WHEN FEET ARE TENDER.
Bathing the Feet in Hot Water in
Which Soda Has Been Dis
solved, One Remedy.

Girls who serve in shops, and others
whose occupation keeps them on their
feet a great deal, often are troubled
with chafed, sore and blistered feet, TO
matter how comfortably their shoes
may fit.
A powder used in the German army
for sitting into the shoes and stock
ings of foot soldiers Is called "Fusstre-
upulver," and consists of three parts
of salicylic acid, ten parts of starch
and 81 parts pulyerized scapstone.
Any chemist will make 1t up for a
small sum, says the American Queen.
It keeps the feet dry, prevents chatting
and rapidly heals sore spots. Finely
pulverized s%Oapstone only is very good.
When the feet merely ache, a very
useful remedy may be found in the fol.
lowing: Take a teaspoonful or ordi.
nary washing soda. dissolve it in half
a gallon of warn water and battle the
feet in 1t for about half al hour. Re
peat this from time to time. A hot
water bath Is also highly excellent for
tired feet.

A BEAUTIFUL HAND.
Care in Bathing and Use Of Emolli-
emit Creams Will Keep Them
in Good Condition.
Il. 8. v. p.

A beautiful hand contains an ele.
ment of fascination that only a few
women attempt to develop; many a
m in her quest for beauty, overlooks
this ource of attraction entirely.
Queen Victoria was extremely proud
OF her eXquisitely modelled hands, and
by her persistent care of them was
hands of any woma who had lived to
her advanced age.
The years leave their impress On
the hands quite as distinctly as on
the face; however these signs need
not appear so soon, and can be post
poned almost indefinitely.
Proper care in bathing and the use
OF emollient creams, when the veins
show too plainly Oh account of the
thinness of the hands, are important
points to remember.
The American uses her hands to EN-.
phasize her remarks, quite as charm
ingly and as often as her French sis
ter; therefore, she must take care to
be as famous for their general good
looks.
With the warm weather comes a
desire to remove ones gloves at all
times. thus bringing the bare hands
into greater prominence in public
places. Never be guilty Of grimy
knuckles OF nails In mourning" under
any circumstances.
1t Is more difficult for those with q
tendency to moist hands to keep them
In order than for those with dry skins.
Another set, who must use their hands
in work that roughens the skin. have
a great disadvantage to contend with,
for the tiny particles raised on the sur.
face catch and retain much dust. But
1t is possible for all to avoid this un.
attractive condition by a little thought
ind extra effort.

About Shaking Hands.

1t Is not a wise plan to always offer
one's hand when accepting an intro
ductiOn, but under a great many cir
cumstances it is quite proper to do so.
A hostess should always extend her
hand, and also rise when accepting an
man; but IL you are not acting as
hostess the correct way in a very for
nal introduction is for you to make a
slight inclination of the head, and In a
very gracious. pleasant manner men

wild eyed, and they plot to kill kings
and drink beer out of two quart jars.
When we found that more attention
was paid to men suspected of crime in
their own countries, and men who were
believed to be plotting to assassinate
kings. dad said it would be a good

a syndicate that wanted to assassinate
some one, S I told a fellow that I got
acquainted with that the fussy old man
that tried to ride a glazier without
any saddle or stirrup was wanted for
attempting to blow up the president
Of the United States by selling him
baled hay soaked in a solution Of dy-
Mantle and nitro-glycerine.
Say, they will believe anything in
Switzerland. It wasn't two hours before
long-haired people were inviting dad
to dinners, and the same night he was
taken to a den where a lot OF anar-
chists were reveling, and dad reveled
till almost morning. When he came
back to the hotel he said his hosts got
all the money he had with him.
through some game he didn't under
stand, but he understood it was to go
into a fund to support deserving anar-
chists and dynamiters. He said when
they found out he was a suspected as
Sassin nothing was too good for him.
He said they wanted to know how he
expected to kill a president by soaking
baled hay In explosives, and dad said
it came to him suddenly to tell them
that the president rode on horseback
a good deal, and he thought if n horse
was filled with baled hay and nitro
E1ycerine and the president spurred
the horse and the horse jumped in the
air and came down kerchunk on an
asphalt pavement, the horse would ex-
plode, and when the rider came down
covered with sausage covers and horse
meat, no would be dead, or would want
to be. Dad said the anarchists went
into executive session and ooh up a
collection to send a man to Berlin to
I'LL the emperor's saddle horses with
cut feed like dad suggested,
We'll, the anarchist story was too
much for Switzerland, and the next
morning dad was told by a policeman
that he had to get out Of the country
quick, and it didn't take us Is minutes
to pack up, and here We are in Venice.
Well, say, old friend, this Is the place
where you ought to be, because nobody
works here, that is, nobody but gon-
doliers. We have been here several
days, and | have not seen a soul do
ing anything except begging, or SELL
Ing things that nobody seems to want.
II anybody buys anything but onions,
1t Is for curiosity, or for souvenirs, and
yet the whole population sits around
in the sun and watches the strangers
from other lands price things and go
away without buying, and then every
body looks mad, as though they would
like to lab a knife into the stranger.
The plalas and the places near the
canal are filled with hucksters and
beggars, and you never saw beggars so
mutilated and sore and disgusting. I
never supposed human beings could
be so deformed, without taking an ak
to them, and 1t is 8 10 pitiful to see
them that you can't help shedding your
money.
