OF the packing houses as set forth in
the Neill- Reynolds report. He in
vited the committee to go to Chicago
to make a personal investigation as
the only means by which the members
can gain proper idea OF the condi-
tiOns.
He denied absolutely that diseased

JURY TO PROBE
ALLEGED FRAUDS
Denver Judge Calls
Special Grand
Jury

Denver, June 6.-In response to the
petition of the honest election league.
Judge John Mullins has entered
formal orders for calling a grand jury
to investigate the alleged frauds In
the recent elections and for setting
aside of District Attorney Stiger and
the appointment of a special prosecu-
tor Further proceedings have been
postponed five days.
District Attorney George Stiger,
Sheriff Alexander and Coroner Robert
P. Collins are removed from office 80
far as the grand Jury is concerned and
other men will be appointed in their
stead.
F. A. williams, chairman Of the re-
publican city central committee. r. r.
Davoren, chairman of the democratic
central committee, and j. w. Brady,
clerk of the gas company, who defied
the court and refused to testify. have
been declared in contempt Of court
and will appear In court tomorrow to
receive sentence.
AT the same time the judge will an
nounce the ellsors who win summon
the grand jury.
The court also expressed the belief
that the character Of the testimony
which was offered during the hearing
of the petition was sufficient to con-
vince any court that the sheriff and
| the coroner of the city and county
were not the proper persons to assist
in calling such a Jury, and that the
district attorney was not the proper
person to lay before the Jury matters
to be investigated. The very nature
| of the testimony. the court seemed to
| think, indicated that bold conspir-
acy had been entered into by the corr
poration heads. who were likewise the
heads of the political party with
which the three officials were closely
interested.
! Judge Mullins is said to be of tht
] opinion. also that the usefulness ol
the grand jury would be increased
with special officers for the jury
whose attitude toward the interests t,
i be Investigated could not be ques
toned and who would be absolutel.

Secretary Root to prevent Withdraw

Advertising a Novel,

In New York literary club two nov
elists We're discussing a novel of the
eighties and of which $4,000 copies had
been sold.
ut was" said the older man, "the
best piece of advertising I ever heard
of, for it was advertising, not merit,
that made the book popular.
"The author has millionaire bache-
Tor friend-call him Milions-and he
persuaded Millions to let him write
for a newspaper a paragraph to the ef-
feet that the novels heroine had made
hit with him, and if he could find
anywhere girl resembling her he
would marry her.
"This paragraph duly appeared. II
was copied all over the country. The
young women of America, on fire with
curiosity and hope, bought and read the
book in order to see if they stood any
chance with Millions"
The younger novelist took out his
notebook.

hurt to resurrect that scheme"

Modes of Divination.

If a Scottish maiden desired to sum-
mon the image of her future husband,
she read the third verse, seventeenth
chapter, of the book of Job after sup
per, washed the supper dishes and re-
tired to bed without uttering single
word placing underneath her pillow
the Bible, with pin thrust through
the verse she had read. On Allhallow
eve various modes of divinatlon were
in vogue. Pennant says that the young
women determined the figure and size
Of their husbands by drawing cab
bages blindfold, custom which lin
gers still in some parts of Scotland.
They also threw nuts into the fire,
practice prevailing also in England, as
Gay has described:
Two hazelnuts threw into the flame,
And to each nut l gave a sweetheart's
name.
This with the loudest bounce me sore
amazed
That in flame of brightest color blazed,
AS blazed the nut, SO may thy passion
grow.
Or they took a candle and went alone
to looking glass, eating an apple and
combing their hair before it, where
upon the face Of the future spouse
would be seen in the glass peeping
over the foolish girls shoulder.

To Tan Fur Skins,

A formula often used to tan skins
with hair or fur on Is this: Wash the
skin and scrape off any flesh that may
be sticking to 1t. Then wash the hair
side with water and soap and rinse
well. Take one pound each Of salt and
pulverzed alum, two ounces of borax
dissolved in hot water, add enough rye
meal (cornmeal may answer as welD
to make thick paste and spread all
over flesh side. Then fold lengthwise,
with the hair side out. Let remain two
weeks in an airy but shaded place;
then unfold, shake well and wash flesh
side with water and scrape with some
sort Of dull scraper. Pull and stretch
and work till dry. The quantity of In
gradients must be In the proportions
given, but the size Of the skin must de.
termine the quantity used. The guam
titles named probably would be enough
for two or three sheepskins.-St Louis
