DO YOU KNOW WHO
THE MEANEST MAN rs?

The meanest man in the world is
the one who says he does not have
to join union because his wages and
hours are as good as those Of the union
man. He forgets that il 1t were not
for the union establishing the hours
and wages he would have nothing to
boast of, and the fact that he accepts
those hours and wages AMI then re-
fuses to do his part or pay his share
toward maintaining them, stamps him
as man Of law caliber and utterly
devoid OF honor or honesty.

ager of the company.
Members of the union believe that
the attitude assumed toward them by
Clowry would force a strike should
he be asked to pass upon the questions
at issue, and they have gone over his
head in the hope Of avoiding any such
detriment to general business.
General Manager Clowry has sent
the following letter to General Super

city:
Tries to Explain Reports.
New York. May 29, 1907.-B.
Brooks, Esq, General superintendent
Dear Sir: False reports are being
circulated by unfriendly interests in
reference to the attitude of this COM
pany toward its employees. No dis
charges Of employees have been made
except for neglect OF duty, obstruct1ng
traffic, insubordination or inefficiency,
and the company purposes to continue
to manage it's own affairs and to fully
protect it's faithful and efficient en-
ployes in the performance Of their du-
ties.
THE large increase in the company's g
salary roll from March l was voluntary
and was fully appreciated and the
statement being circulated that the
company was not sincere in giving this
increase and is attempting to counter
act it by unfair reductions Of pay is
absolutely untrue. Yours truly,
'R. c. CLOWRY,
'President and General Manager -
In response to this letter President
Small Of the union issued a statement
which is in part as follows:

fidavits to show that telegraphers have
been discharged within the last thirty
days by the Western Union Telegraph
company on the charge that they were

official positions have been reduced
from SIS to $3.50 per month because
of membership in the union. Since the

I'VE can produce indisputable evid-
ence to show that the company's policy
is to reduce every telegrapher's salary

the 10 per cent increase March /, to

WASHINGTON, .. c., May 90
Amazing revelations of conspiracy
to defraud the United States of mil-
lions of dollars worth of mineral and
timber lands will be laid before the
grand juries of half a dozen states
within few days.

These men, whose names for obvious
reasons cannot be made public before
the grand jury acts, it is declared here,
will surely be indicted by the evid-
ence which is now in the hand Of
United States district attorneys in half
a dozen western cities.
These frauds, it was charged today
in an official quarter, extend into a
number Of states, including California,
Colorado Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
Montana, Minnesota, and the Dakotas.s
Much of the evidence in these frauds
was obtained by Detective Burns who
is engaged in the municipal graft pros
ecution in San Francisco, and by
Francis J. Heney, who is prosecuting
the same San Francisco grafters. - B
Startling Evidence.
Upon the conclusion of their work
Detective Burns are expected to re-
turn to the government service for
the prosecution of the timber and
mineral land thieves. Some of the
grafters in San Francisco also are said
to be implicated in the frauds. #
The frauds have been under in
vestigation by the secret agents OF
the interior department for more than
three years. These secret agents have
unearthed startling evidence, showing
that the public domain has literally
been looted by corporations who have
protsct ia ID flfef
operations by United States senators
and federal officials.
Stole Timber Tracts.
Most of the lands acquired by the
so-called consiprators> were timber
tracts in the west, Of which hundreds
of thousands of acres have been taken
from the public domain.
In some instances the services of
dummy entrymen were utilized for
the purpose. In others the title was
obtained through the use Of lieu land
scrip.
In obtaining the conviction of the
men said to be involved, the govern
! ment expects to regain possession OF
large areas of forest land, some OF
which has been in the hands of lumber
operators for many years. Much of
the land. it is understood, has not vet
been cut over.
1t is admitted by certain officers
that In a number of instances the Of
tenders will be immune from criminal
prosecution owing to the fact that the
statute of limitations will apply, but
in all such cases the title to the land
will revert to the government

I also had three large bed sores on my back, - two on the shoulders and one at the waist. 1 could have cried the first time saw myself ill @ mirror. l had lost fully thirty-six pounds, and looked like Q consumptive. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor: When 1 was able to get around, had all my friends advising remedies, and all guarAAteed sure cures. 1 tried many, but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent had had no real relief. That gave me such an appetite that I felt half starved about all the time, and immediately began to gain in weight, my complexion cleared, and l felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when used Cuticura Soap as a shampoo and Cutl- cura Ointment as massage, my hair began to regain its former glossy ap- pearance. 1 am really all made over, and cannot say enough for the Cuticura Remedies.

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children we'll dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing aud sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.
 Truly the work of such a woman is "never doner and Is 1t any wonder that she breaks down at the end of 6 few years, the back begins to ache, orulceration of the abdominal organs, female weakness Is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful.

Train Passes Under River.

NEW YORK, Nov. N.-The first
train from. New York to Brooklyn
through the tunnel under the East
River was run to-day. The trip from
the Bowling Green station, Manhat-
tan, to the Borough Hall station,
Brooklyn, was made slowly, but the
return required only y minutes. By
the time trains are running regular
", which President Vreeland said
would be January, the company hopes
to cross the river in less than four
minutes:.ss
Only one tube of the tunnel was in
use today, but the other will be COM
pleted soon.
The tunnel, which is considered one
of the finest of its kind in the world,
was begun December 19, 1902. The
difficulties were enormous and at one
time some engineers even advocated
abandoning. the whole project. The
underTiver section of the tunnel is
1866 feet long, to which are added
several thousand feet by the Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn extensions, where
the tunnel really becomes subway.

Of those women holding important
Offices, are the wives or daughters Of
ministers, and emphatically stated
that it should not be thus. What is
the trouble, sisters? Is it for the
reason that the wives of preachers
have more money and more time, and
more mental abilities to bestow on
Gods work. 1t is not so-let each

pray that in the future we who are
