EATON FIGHT IS ON
CONTEST FOR WISCONSIN SEN
ATE SEAT BEGUN.
FREAR ASKS INVESTIGATION
Plan Is to Have Acquitted Senator
Request Leave of Absence While
Probe Is Conducted-Other
Legislative Notes.
Especial correspondence


Madison, Wis, April Ex-senator
Barney A. Eaton is having the time of
his life in trying to hold down his seat
in the upper body and to make the sit
uatlon even more intense Senator
F'rear has introduced his resolution
providing that the recently acquitted
scion ask leave of absence during the
time that the proposed investigation
is being carried on. Although the res
olution had been feared by Eaton's
friends, it was thought the talk was
only the work of gossips, but the ac-
tual presentation of the document
brought Senator Eaton's defenders to
their feet and the fight for the seat is
on in earnest. Several weeks ago
Eaton took his seat in the senate, after
having been acquitted of a charge of
having accepted $1O0 as a bride, in
connection with the BARRIERS bill. Two
indictments, with $25 brides as the
offense still remain against the sena-
tor and it is upon these two charges
that Senator Frear bases his demands.
Last week Senator Eaton in a lengthy
statement declared that he intended %
retain his seat, having been cleared of
the charge against him. He emphat-
ically denied the charge of ever having
cast slurs at the dignity or the poise
of the senate. The senator brings the
constitution to his aid in demanding
that he be allowed to retain his seat.
Senator Eaton said in part: Il stand
here to say upon my honor as a man.
as citizen and a member of the SEN.
ate, I am innocent upon all the indict-
ments lodged against me and, in all
the transactions I have had concern

TRANSMITTED ELECTRICITY
flied Through Its Application
as Motive Power.

Scientific readers in general are ia
miliar with the remarkable develop
ment during the last few years of power
transmission by means of high voltage
alternating currents. But perhaps only
the travelled few, says the Chicago Trib-
une, realize the extent to which this
method is being put to practical use, es-
pecially in the factories of this country.
In sections where fuel is scarce anG cor
respondingly expensive industries
which otherwise would be prohibited
can be carried on proftably by the use
of power thus transmitted for long dis
tances. In many places in the west
wires conveying electric power from
the power house to point far up in the
mountains have transplanted the eight
horse freight outfit with which fuel for
merly was tediously transported.
Mining is the industry chiefly bene-
flied through this application of cleo
tricity as motive power. primarily be-
cause by reason of its cheapness it per-
mits the treatment of ores of the,lower
grades, which. using the costly steam
power it would be impossible to handle
proftably.
The ease with which electric motive
power may be conveyed through cables
into the most inaccessible parts OF mines
is another feature that recommends it
to the mine owners of the west
One main line of power transmission
near Silver City, Idaho, is 81 iciles long
from the dam where the powsc is gen.
Grated to the distribution point. The
line consists of No. bare copper cables
strung on cedar posts 80 feet high. The
insulators supporting these wires are OF

DYSPEPSIA YIELDS
A NINE YEARS VICTIM FINDS A
REMEDY THAT CURES.

Tor Two Years TooWealz to WOrk-A Dozen
Doctors Had Tried to Check Disease.
Treatment That Succeeded.
All sufferers from weakness or disor-
ders of the digestive organs will read
with lively interest the story Of the COM
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
Thought to be incurable.
ITO be ailing for nine years is not a
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. :" For two years I was
critically i'll and could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time was
SO weak and miserable that could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. I became extremely thin and
had sallow complexion. / had no APP
petite and could not take any food with
out suffering great distress"
"Did you have q physician"
Yes, took medicine from a dozen
different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whatever.
Chow did you get on the track of a
cure?'
GA book about DIR. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown i'll our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was 50 impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them.
"Did they help you at once?"
81 began to feel better the second day
after started to use the pills and by tho
time had taken tho three boxes I was
entirely well. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
can cure even when doctors fail, and
they cure thoroughly, for a long time
has passed since my restoration to health
and know it is complete and lasting"
The surest way to make sound diges-
ton is to give strength to the organs con-
cerned. DR.. Williams Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other rem
edy yields such radical results.

Rate Bill to Pass.

The railroad rate commission bill
will be acted upon by the assembly
this week and will pass that body with
very little opposition. This bill is
called administration" and its spon-
sor, Senator hatten, looks for few op-
ponents in the lower body. In the SEN
ate, however. where Gov. La Follette's
majority is but one vote, the prettiest
kind of contest is looked forward to
by followers of legislative doings.
Speaker Lenroot is the authority for
the statement that the measure will
encounter no opposition in the body
where he yields the lash. I'm the SEN
ate, however, says Mr.. Lenroot, "ad-
ministration supporters look for the
snag and if the slightest hitch occurs
in the plans of those pushing the bill
in that body, it is probable that the
state of Wisconsin will not see the sub
stitute bill enacted into law"

When this corporation became effec-

on Spring street which it now occupies
would be sufficiently large for any
growth of Los Angeles and of the bust
ness for many years to come. A long
lease, of which number of years are
yet unexpired, was entered into for the
present premises but the business
grew more rapidly than the city of Los
Angeles, and necessity demanded more
room.
The plans, prepared by Morgan &
Walls are of such a character that
when the business is installed it will be
ahead of any crockery store in any
city, New York, Chicago and Boston
included For the premises a lease of
twenty years has been concluded.
The main floor will be used as a gen.

fitted for special features, such as the

twenty years. The usual places of
resort were entirely neglected and no
one stirred out of doors who could
avoid it; yet, despite the inclement
weather, more than 400 Los Angeles
people took advantage of the Grider

and visited Mar Vista tract. The en-
tire attendance for the day, including
those from the nearby towns. num-
