Publicity For Campaign Funds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on elections of presidents
vice president and representatives in
congress gave a hearing today on
bills introduced by Representative
Bourke Cochran of New York. One
provides for publicity of contributions
to campaign funds in presidential
elections, and the other for the ap.
pointment of a special commission to
inquire into and ascertain the amounts
OF money expended by both political
parties at all presidential elections
from 1896 to 1904.
In advocating publicity OF the meas.
ure, Mr. Cochran said there was the
spectacle In the last campaign of both
candidates engaged in recriminations
on this subject. He commended that it
should be known who contributed and
how much was contributed, saying
that publicity would leave no ground
for wrongful charges. It has been
charged, he said, that the large ma
jorlty given the successful candid ate
was due to the use of money, but he
said he did not believe that to be true.
Mr.. Cochran said this bill for q
commission was not for the purpose of
exposure but to secure facts which
would be of value in framing remedial
legislation.

Murdcress May BE Hanged.

RUTLAND, VI, Jan. lS.-The re-
fusal of Governor Bell to interfere in
the ease destroys the last hope of Mrs.
Mary Rogers to escape the gallows
She will consequently be hanged a,
Windsor on February ;. and will be
the first woman to be executed in Yer.
mont in nearly three-quarters of a cen
fury.
Some of the leading lawyers Of Yer.
mont have declared the opinion tina,
for 1000 the case could be carried to
the United States supreme court and a
stay obtained for so long q time a,
least that the woman would never
hang. Windsor people declare the ex
ecution a disgrace to the state and
public sentiment would be strongly
moved for the prisoner if the execu-
tion vas deferred.

FOR A RAILROAD COMMISSION.

One of the most popular planks inthe
platforms of the Two political parties
in Montana last fall was the pledge
that a railroad commission would be
created by the ninth Legislative assem-.
bly,. The proposition was received
with favor by the general public.
which has been the victim of railroad
discrimin alton and unjust rates upon
local traffic for the past twenty years.
An instance of this unfair and un,
reasonable system Of railroad rates
will illustrate the nature of one of the
evils which i. is proposed to remedy.
A local institution recently found it
necessary to have a piece of machiu,
cry repaired, and it was shipped to

Rotten Eggs For Food.

Il German epicure comes to the
rescue Of the Chinese in regard to
their alleged habit of eating rotten
eggs. The eggs, he says, are simply
preserved in lime until they get a con-
sistency like that of hard butter and
they taste somewhat like lobster. He
declares them one of the choicest deli.
cacies he has ever eaten. He thinks
there are no better cooks in the world
than the Chineee. When he went to
live among them his friends predicted
he would starve, but he had a good
time and gained weight-more than he
wanted to.
