WOMEN CONDUCTORS ON CARS.

The area of employment for womer con tinues to increase. Sometime ago the Chillicothe (O.) Electric Street Railway company Installed seven young women as conductors on their cars and the experi- ment has proved a great success. When the advertisement was inserted in e local paper over 100 women applied for places. seven of whom were carefully selected. The fortunate applicants are all of good family and of personal attractiveness. They receive S4 per week and are on duty nine hours day and have one day off in every week. They claim that the work Is much better than any of the Indoor oc- equations open to women.

Fine plain nets are being made much use of In the fashioning of the dressier type of blouse, such as are expected to do duty for luncheon and afternoon wear. Here .handwork reigns supreme, and it ls no wonder that a seemingly extor- donate price is exacted for those fimy looking little nothings, when one con viders the vast amount of tucking and shirring and ruching that is required to make an impression on the plain surface of the net.

DO you realize that pain is
weakening, and exhausts your
vitality? Don't you remember
how completely worn out you
felt after that last attack of
headache, neuralgia, backachc,
periodical or other spell of suf-
fering? Nearly every case of
inflammation, apoplexy, paral-
ysis, epilepsy and insanity is
directly due to the weakening
influence of pain upon the
brain nerves? For this reason
every one who suffers from
pain of any kind should not
fail to get relief as quickly as
possible.
You can do this by taking

ENORMOUS COST OF CAMPAIGN


There has been considerable dis
cussion lately with regard to the
cost of national campaigns, grow
ing ont of the disclosures made in
the course of the insurance invest
igation. One statement is made
that the Republican fund in 1904
amounted to 81 900, 900: that in
1900 it was =, 500, 600, and in 1896
was 3, 800, 600 while the Demo
cratic fund in 1896 was said to
have been 81, 100, 900.
These figures come largely from
Republican sources, and we doubt
their accuracy, for it is the com
mon belief that in 1896, the Bryan
Mckinley year. Mark Hanna had
about 5000, 900, while the Demo
cratic fund was less in amount.
The present Republican national
committee says that the committee
spent 300, 900 for state commit
tees, $3.50, 900 for literature, S175,-
900 for the speakers bureau,
$3.50, 900 for Autographs and ad-
vertising, $50, 900 for salary and
headquarters expenses, -S75, 900 for
sundries, and at the close of the
campaign there was a balance of
| BOO, 900.
This showing seems to breathe
purity, probity and innocence, and
there will be nobody who will
not take its accuracy for granted
Piled upon the top of there ma
tional campaign funds are the ex-
traordinary expenses of state,
county and municipal committees,
so that in such fierce year as
1896 the expense political game,
taking it up one side and down
another might well be anywhere
between a quarter and a half bill
lion dollars.

INTEREST IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS

That many of our best citizens
do not take proper interest in
political matters is a patent and
deplorable fact, and this accounts
in large measure for much of the
dissatisfaction that has arisen
within the ranks of the party.
Things would be different if all
the good people would take the
interest that they should in politi
cal affairs. The thing to do is not
so much vote-though we believe
that all should exercise that high
privilege-but to act and take part
when men are to be selected to
manage our affairs and make our
laws. If all good people would
do this there would be far less
complaint.
