CRASHING OF TEETH.

On the whole the railroad sena-
tors are taking their medicine with
poor grace. Last April it was "To
hell with the public!" and the rail-
road lobby occupied the seat of
honor at the right hand of the SEN
ate committee on commerce. Then
the storm broke. For while the
senators were anxious and silent
and waited for the stom to blow
over. But it didn't. Then they be-
came genuinely alarmed. Some of
them are whining-Elkins for one,
Spooner for another. They say
they are the very best friends the
people have had and they feel deep
ly grieved that they should be so
misunderstood. Aldrich feels the
lash, but he is taking it like a man.
He is pirate who believes political
piracy to be an honored profession.

union, who has interested himself
in the organization Of the label
league, received a letter from the
Women's International Label
league, saying that the charter ap-
piled for recently by the local
league would be forwarded at once.
The single weavers' union of
Ballard, Wash, has issued a state
ment of its side of the case in the
big strike now in progress in the
mills at that place. The union
claims thu a recognition of the
union is not involved, but the strike
is a result of the refusal of the
Ballard mill owners to pay the uni
on scale of wages. The union claims
that shingles can be manufactured
cheaper in Ballard than in any 9TH
er city in the state and that the
strikers will stay out until the
same wages are paid in Ballard as
in other localities. The strike is
costing the town of Ballard in loss
of wages about $4,000 per day, and
the business men are trying to
bring about settlement.

COULD NOT RESIST THE
TEMPTATION

"Dopey Joe" is in the tolls again.
He is the jailbird who made the
sensational escape some time ago
by diving out the back window in
the Office when he was about to be
locked up to serve out term for
vagrancy. Officer McQuillin saw
Joe last night and promptly placed
him under arrest. Joe said that he
wouldn't have been so desperate
when he was arrested the other
time if it were not for the fact that
he was hungry for shot" When
he saw many days without his dope
staring him in the face he became
desperate and would have leaped
from an upper story to make his
escape.
