WANTS 4 FEDERAL JOB
Los Angeles Union Starts Sys-
tematic Campaign Against
Old Enemy.
Determined That President
Roosevelt Shall Give Him
No Recognition.

Los Angeles, CAL, March 9.-H. G.
Otis, owner of the notorious Los An
geles Times, left the city quietly few
days ago for Washington, D. C.. He
had hardly boarded the train when the
following telegram was placed on the
wires:
Los Angeles, Cal.-Hon, Theodore
Roosevelt, Washington D. c.; Within
a few days H. G. Otis will personally
apply for federal appointment. Otis
could not be elected to any office in
his home town. Organized labor every
where will protest against his appoint
ment to any position.
Central Labor Council"
No doubt Otis has called at the White
House by this time, and it is safe to
are still on his TRAIL For years this
man has had the itch for office, but
he never has dared to be a. candidate
before the people. He pestered ex-
Presidents Harrison and Mckinley for
recognition and sent by the latter
to the Philippines, but was forced to
resign by Major General Macarthur,
who looked upon Otis as anything ex-
cept a soldier. Now, President Roose-
welt is being appealed to-. Just what
Otis wants-whether it is minister to
Russia or commissioner Of labor-is not
known, but it Is pretty generally
known what he will get.

WAKE UP AT WILL.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Eve hear it frequently asserted
that if persons will impress the.
thought firmly upon their minds and
continue thinking about until they
have fallen asleep that they desire
to awake at a certain hour in the
morning that they will do so with
out fall" DR.. Joseph L. Boehm tells
me, "but how many people have
} tried this method of insuring
prompt awakening at given hour
in the morning only to find their rest
throughout the night disturbed and
uneasy? -
1.-The brain will usually respond to
the will and awaken one in the
morning near the desired hour I'M
der any circumstances, but to pre-
vent the unbroken, uneasy sleep the
adoption of only a simple devise is
necessary. The last thing before
getting into bed take a watch or
clock and turn the hands to the hour
at which one wishes to rise and gaze
at this just long enough to fix the
hour firmly on the retentive men,
DRY. Then, If no other absorbing
thoughts intervene between that and
the moment one is locked in slumber,
the nights rest will be easy and I'M
broken, and promptly at the hour in
the morning, as rule, one will find
oneself released from sleep and wide
awake There is no need to keep
thinking Of minutes, no need TO re-
peat It over and over in the mind;
all this makes the brain uneasy and
results in disturbed slumber; simply
look at the watch or clock as
I have indicated and the influence of
the mind over the matter will be
clearly demonstrated in the morning.
Try it some night and observe how
smoothly this psychological fact
works.

THINKS MURDERERS
ARE AMERICANS

HONOLULU, March s.-The police
here are Of the opinion that If Mrs.
Jane L. Stanford was murdered, the
guilty persons are in San Francisco.
High Sheriff Henry expressed this
VieW
1t Is pointed out that the opinion of
the physicians taken together with
the chemical analysis as given in tes-
timony at the inquest, indicate that
to have taken fatal dose
Mrs. Stanford must have been given
one of the capsules, which it was ad-
mitted contained a small quantity Of
strychnine and the bicarbonate Of soda
at the same time and both together
would have brought together a suffic-
lent quantity of strychnine to have
caused death.
The physicians say that one-twelfth
of grain Of strychnine might pos-
sibly be fatal to a person of Mrs.
Stanford's age. Deputy High Sheriff
Rawline, who will accompany the re-
mains to San Francisco, will take the
trip for the purpose Of consulting the
police Of that city.

BILLY" WILLIAMS GETS
WARM RECEPTION HERE:
New Commissioner of Labor
Given Good Welcome by
Local Labor Men.
Finds Many Bad Spots Among
"Common" Democrats
That Are Not Healed

William Williams, commissioner of
labor, visited Duluth Monday and made
the acquaintance Of large number of
local labor men, together with getting
the sentiment of some Democratic poll
ticians. He seemed to like Duluth
union men; said they were lot Of good
fellows, with lots of fight, and a suf-
ficient amount Of brains to take care
of themselves. He found the sentiment
that he had expected. Dissatisfaction
and lack of confidence seemed to be-
wide spread, and Mr.. Williams left
with the hope that time would change
the situation.
Mr.. Williams made a most favorable
impression in Duluth. His known at
titude as a 'radicaP' Democrat rather
aided him in getting warm reception.
It Is said that Mr.. Williams and Cleve
Van Dyke are the only radical Demo-
Gratis in this administration. Both of
them can have good reception among
Duluth common Democrats at any
time so long as they thew to the line"
That Mr.. Williams will make sue
cess Of the Bureau of Labor is fore
gone conclusion. He has entered his
work with a determination that will
surely bring success. If he is given
the proper support by his assistants
he ought to make good record, and
the Labor Worlyd gives the sentiments
of the majority of union labor men
when it expresses the wish that his
administration will meet with favor
generally.
Mr. Williams Is true and consist
ent friend of labor. A short conversa-
ton with the man will assure one of
this. 1t is to be regretted that such a
good fellow Is not in better company.
While visiting among his Democratic
friends, Mr.. Williams was repeatedly
asked If there was anything in the re-
port that Frank A. Day was to resign
as private secretary to the governor.
Mr.. Williams of course stated that he
was unable to say anything on the SUBJ
ject.
Mr.. Williams was accompanied by
julius Moersch, statistician for the Bu-
reau of Labor. Mr.. Moersch remained
over for a day to aid Mr.. Hagberg IN
some special inspection work.

moved by instituting public bureaus.
A careful analysis Of the reports is
sued by Mr.. Haley show wonderful
progress in the local bureau. During
the past five weeks employment has
been furnished to 1872 men. The ex-
pense of conducting the office in that
time was $143. This gives an average
cost Of II cents for each person. The
men themselves were saved at least
1892 in fees.
Further argument OH this question
seems unnecessary. The thinking per-
son can see at a glance that the sue
cess Of the bureau is an argument in
itself. If the readers of this article de-
sire to see the proposition become a
state institution write a letter to your
representative in the legislature urg-
ing the passage of the present bill.

The MAN WHO LOVES WORDS

THE MAN WHO LOVES WORDS.
From the Cleveland Leader:
"Other folks, Of course, have their
poor pleasures" writes Richard lie CAL
lienne in Harper's Magazine, 'but for
a man who loves words no Joy the
world can give equals for him the hap
piness of having achieved fine pas
sage or a perfect line. When Thackery
struck his fist on the table, as the story
goes, when he had finished the scene
of Colonel Newcomers death, and ex-
claimed, BY God, this is genius there
was no empire he would have accepted
in exchange for that moment. We Of
ten hear that your true artist is never
satisfied with his work, his ideal es-
capes him, the words seem poor and
lifeless, etc., compared with the dream.
Whoever started the story knew very
little about the literary temperament, or
he would have known that-the words
are the dream, or very imperfectly, till
it is set down in words. Yes! the
words are the dream"
