New York Woman Is Panied to Find
Bossy's Upper Teeth Missing


PORT JERVIS. N. Y, June 22.-Mrs
M. j. Moore of New York, bought a
house at Monticello, five years ago
and fitted it up in fine style. She
bought a horse, chickens and a COW.
The COW was of high breed and cost
a snug sum. When Mrs. Moore went
to New York recently for a snort stay,
she left her brother in charge of the
place. He fed the COW a hot mash on
the recommendation of a neighbor.
Next day ne was astonished to find
that she had no upper teeth. Upon
Mrs. Moore's return she was much in
censed that her brother should have
been fooled into feeding the COW the
hot mash and destroying her upper
teeth. Poor bossy," said she, "how
will she eat now?"
She sold the COW and went about to
find another. Much to her astonish-
ment she found that every COW she
saw had no upper front teeth.
"They must have all been fed hot
troubles to veterinary surgeon.
why" the veterinary told her, mo
cow has upper teeth in front"
Mrs. Moore bought bossy back.

CHANGES IN THE EQUITABLE.

President Alexander and Vice Presi-
dent Hyde of the Squitable Life Assur-
ance Society nave resigned. Paul
Morton, chairman of the board of di-
rectors, is said to favor the election of
Grover Cleveland as president of the
society. A great effort is now being
made to regain public confidence and
it is believed that the reputation of
Grover Cleveland as an honest man
would be of great benefit to the society
But if the Equitable would win the
confidence of the people it must
abandon it's questionable methods of
doing business. The United States
Investor makes these charges:
1.-THE deferred dividend system was
so grossly unfair to policy-ho
that it created a surplus which led to
extravaganza and speculation; that
exorbitant salaries and commissions
were paid, thus inordinately increasing
the cost of insurance.; that large sums
were carried in favored banks, unin-
vested, causing a loss in earning pow
er of the policy-holders funds; that
the officers and others having similar
interests were conducting the business
as if it were a private concern, reaping
profits therefrOm to which they were
not entitled, hence detrimental to the
interests of the cy-holders; that
these men were deceiving the other
directors, whose high standing in the
community was being used to aid in
the mulcting of the pOlicy-holders."

STRIKES FOR REVENUE.

The grand jury of Cook county is
learning how strikes are made and how
carried off in Chicago. 1t would ap-
pear that there is a price upon peace
and that by paying it employers con
enjoy repose and the confidence Of
their employees until the walking dele
gates get hungry, When there will be
another strike.
The Statesman hesitates to accept
this theory as the basis of strikes and
their settlement generally, but it is
prepared to believe almost anything Of
Shea and his gang in Chicago. The
revelations about Shea which are
gradually coming out the disreputable
places in which he is found and where
he 'transacts the business of the union,
his personal character and ALL will,
when perfectly understood, make the
working men of Chicago pretty sore on
self constituted leaders.
Shea might be an accident. But is
there a system of stopping and start
ing strikes for revenue? This is the
more important question. The testi-
mony of the man Driscoll is that ne
mas for years been employed as a go
between. When the leaders wanted
money they threatened a strike, and
when the employers settled there was
no strike. If they did not settle, there
was a strike, and then the leaders be-
gan again to get terms of compromise.
Meanwhile, lot of pawns who did not
know what the ruction was about, were
all out of their jobs and their families
were in danger Of starvation.
1t would seem as though the labor
movement was deeply concerned to
purge itself of this grave stain. Tine
law cannot do it all. 1t can expose the
facts but it will remain with he.labor
men to clean corrupt carrion out Of
their own ranks.

San Juan county. At the Tacoma con-
vention last year when Mr.. Mead was
nominated for governor, Mr.. McMillin
was chairman of the platform commit
tee ana signed the majority report,
which ignored the railroad commission
plank. He is essentially a corporation
man, and will prove as satisfactory to
the railroads on the commission as
would any traffic manager of the roads.
II. c. Lawrence of Whitman county,
the third member Of the commission,
is rated in the county where he lives
as a railroad man pure and simple.
He is the intimate political associate
of railroad lobbyists and mas trained
with them for years. 1t is true that
Mr.. Lawrence protested to be an advo-
cate of the railroad commission, but
while making such professions, he aid
ed to the extent of his abilitw in the
defeat of Governor Mcbride for re-
nomination.
I'm selecting these three men, Gov
ernor Mead has demonstrated that mis-
political promises are as sounding
brass and a tinkling cymbal.' He has
proved the truth of the charge made in
the last campaign that he was cam
didate of the railroads for governor,
and has indicated every republican
who cast his vote for George Turner"

Red Wing, Minnesota, has the first
the T. B. Sheldon Memorial Auditor
ium, which cost $4,000, and which
came to the city as bequest from the
late T. B. Sheldon, a merchant of Red
Wing. The will provided that the
auditorium should be managed for five
years by a board of trustees and then
turned over to the city council. 1t is
never to be managed for profit but
always for the public good and its
proper entertainment and enlighten-
ment.

By running it's eighteen-hour Twen-
tietn Century train between New York
and Chicago at a fourteen-hOu rate
in order to beat the Pennsylvania rail-
road, the Lake Shore railroad company
has experienced disastrous wreck,
costing the lives of at least nineteen
people and seriously injuring many
others. If the railroads wish to ex-
pertinent with running trains faster
than a mile a minute they should run
them without passengers until the pos
sibility of accidents has been reduced
to the minimum.

RAILROADS OWN COMMISSION.

The Spokane Spokesman-Review has
this to say of Governor Mead's rail-
way commission:
"Of the three men named by the
governor, two have been avowed enc
mics of the commission idea from it's
inception, and the third, while pro-
sion, stood with the railroad lobby in
the bitter fight which it made against
the nomination of Governor Henry Nc
Bride.
The two notorious railroad bench
men on the commission are Harry A.
Fairchild of Bellingham and John S.
McMillin of Roche Harbor. Mr. Fair
child has twice headed a delegation
from his home county to the state
convention in opposition to the adop-
ton of a commission plank in the re-
publican state platform. AS a men,
Der of the legislature of 1901, Mr.
Fairchild drilled night and day with
the railroad lobby. He has been an
offensive prorailroad politician for
years. At the Tacoma convention last
year, Mr.. Fairchild and the solid
Whatcom county egation-which
delegation, by the way, Mr.. Mead ap-
pointed-voted solidly against the
adoption of a commission plank. At
ter the election, however, when as
sured by Governor Mead that he woull
have a place on the railroad commits
sion, Mr.. Fairchild turned in and work.

meant $4,000 a year job for him.

members of the commission to look
after the pure water supply of Greater
New York, ]. Edward Simmons, presi-
dent of the Fourth National Bank,
Charles A. Shaw, president of the
Hanover Insurance Company, and
Charles N. Chadwick of Brooklyn.
Politicians are marveling at the cour-

annually each, besides considerable
appointing power, men who are not
connected with Tammany.

letter of congratulation to the man
ufacturers of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, as follows: "Sixteen years

he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain Cough

This will be by no means pleasant
news to Senator Smoot, while those
witnesses from Idaho who have been
testifying that there is no polygamy
question in Idaho are utterly con.
founded. So far from there being no
polygamy question, it has developed
by the very first move that it is the
all-absorbing question before the leg
islature; it puts every one on his
mettle, and every member is alert,
active, aggressive, some for fiercer
bill, and some, no doubt, object to
any measure at all. And so it goes.

THE FAULT OF VOTERS.

The Capital News criticises the
Legislature because "only So bills
have been introduced in three
weeks. I" The number will no doubt
be increased to the satisfaction of the
News before the session is over. The
trouble is, there are too many bills
introduced. If half dozen decent
and proper measures we're prepared
and passed each session it would be
much better state of affairs than
having our laws blown about by whole
sale every two years, to the disturb
ance of business, the distraction of cit
liens and the confusion of courts. The
causes Of our our being subjected to
an indiscriminate over-turning of our
laws every two years-with the atten--
dant suggestion that we are incapable
OF manufacturing laws that will wear
longer-are that the people give SO
little attention to the character of the
timber out of which they form states
men; that voters and taxpayers do
not exercise care in sending the best
material, but are willing to support
anything that is urged upon them by
designing and mercenary infunces to
be served by support or opposition to
certain expected measures. The in
diyidual who has at hand the cues
tiopable influences TO swing body of
votes whether by money, whiskey or
otherwise) often succeeds in placing |
his personal tool in the law making
body, regardless of natural fitness
The result is,a body Of men, half of
whom have few natural abilties-a
body filled with owned members
franks with hobbies, mediocre men
With axes to grind lfor some one in
ne back ground), narrow incom-
'etents whose mentality was never
light with broad ideas in their lives.
