A Question Which Brings Many
Diverse Opinions.
What Secret Vote Might Bring
to Light.
JREECH ONE OF THEM.
admitted That He Stands Close
to Governor.
Four Others Who Have Won
Their Spurs.

There has been a good deal written
and said about the administration
leaders in the house of representa-
tives. When you attempt. however, to
put your finger on each man who is
an administration leader you find
serious difficulty. There are no dis
tinct marks of Identification which
separate the real administration lead
ers from the men what want to be.
Of course w. r. Stubs is THE adj
ministration leader. He is even ac-
cused of being the administration
istelf. No one will attempt to deny his
right to the title of boss of the house.
AS to the other members. the best
that can be done is to select a few of
those who are acknowledged to hold
high rank in the esteem of the COVER
nor and the speaker of the house. and
possibly omit a good many others who
are equally prominent in shaping ad-
ministration policies. There are prob
ably a score of members in the house
who are to some extent the spokesman
for the administration. They stand
well, and their advice is sought on
certain occasions. The real admins
tration leader is the one whose counsel
is deemed necessary on all occasions.
If a vote of the house should be
taken-a secret vote, mind yOu-it is
probable that the following five men
would take a high rank as leaders in
the house;
]. w. Creech of Dickinson.
S. H. Brandon of Butler.
A. G. Mead of Mitchell.
A. R. Clark of Rice.
w. B. Ham of Rocks.
1t is possible to mention a. dozen
others who might be rightfully includ-
ed in this list. There is Dawson of
Marion, who is the author of the game
To frfa Of
Hoch; Kirkland of Saline; Seaver of
Ellsworth; Benson of Franklin; Glass
cock of Wyandotte; Schermerhorn of
Cherokee; Stone of Shawnee; Brady
of Douglas; Young of Wilson; Adams
of, Sedgwick and Simmons of Lane.
These men are all good speakers and
are leaders in the house, but some of
them are hardly close enough to the
powers to be known as "administra-
ton men.
J. w. Creech is chairman of the
ways and means committee, and that
in itself is enough to show clearly that

MURDER SUSPECTED.
In Case of the Death of Mrs. Hannah
B. Ross.

Mont Clair, n. J., Feb. 24.-Follow-
ing the discovery of the body of Mrs.
Hannah B. Ross, a wealthy octogenar-
ian. in the ruins of her home in High
street, the police expressed the opin-
ion that the woman had been murder
ed and the house fired to conceal the
crime. A German coachman. who
was the only one employed, has not
been seen since the fire. A search of
the ruins failed to reveal any trace of
his body. Three adjacent houses also
were destroyed in the fire which
started in the Ross house, but the oc-
cupants had no difficulty in escaping.

If the city of Trinidad does not
build a viaduct over the Santa Fe
tracks on Commercial street, in place
of constructing the bridge over the
Purgatoire alone, then the Santa Fe

SORES


WuGG1ILlgl W. va, A1dy 20 19O5.
Some years ago while at work, fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only a short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some II
years have elapsed since what I have de
scrlbed occurred. Having been 50 signa1ly
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

Sailor Suits for girls have lost
nothing in popularity, and are brought
out, season after season with slight
variation. The pretty mode here
shown was developed in blue linen,
trimmed with white braid and pearl
buttons. An under-b6dy closed at the
back, acts as a support for the full
gathered skirt. A tape inserted in a
casing regulates the fuiness at the
lower edge of the blouse. The neck
is completed by a broad sailor collar,
that crosses in front, the ends extend
ing from under the belt. The bishop
sleeves are gathered into PRETTY
shaped wristbands, having pointed
ends that lap over on the outside.
White flannel would be effective made
after this pattern, and chambray.
gingham, madras and mohair are all
adaptable. The medium size will re-
quire four and one-half yards of thir-
ty-six inch material.
