hounces can be bought all made
and be put on the silk petticots .
but there is always a danger that
they are not made wide enough
and that fault must be looked out
for. Then. TO, it is mistake not
to have the silk petticoat finished
with an attached circular or 0iay
founce of the silk trimmed with
a narrow pinked rufIle. Over
this the lingerie dounce tits much
better and is much more effective
than when merely fastened to the
silk of the skirt that is not nearly

DEMOCRATS AND
SQUARE DEALERS.
hey Seem TO be Pulling Together
In The Legislature.
iEHUN GIVES A few HINTS

Topeka, Feb. Mot since the
treat oil refinery debate of the
'ession of 1905 has there occurred
N the house OF representatives
such a desperate oratorlcaI strug
lie as that which took place on
he antl-pasS law. Popular inter.
Est in the conflict was at almost AS
nigh a pitch as it was in the last
'ession when the state voted to
grapple with the Standard OIL,
md set the legislative pace of the
session.
TO a considerable extent. the
antl-Dass debate in tho house has
set the pace for thu prese MT ses-
sion. and it showed that the
rumored alliance between the Re-
publican 81 lare dealers and the
Democratic minority was not a
myth. Ga the test vote, when
the Milligan bill vas beaten, and
the Stone bill accepted. every
Democrat but three voted for the
Stone bill "a solid block of q
Votes. Had the Democratic vote
gone the other way, or even had
it divided, the Stone bill would
have been defeated. the anti.rai,.
road forces wOull have been in
rout. and the moral effect of the
railroad victory would have been
a tremendous obstacle to any
further legislation such As tie
public expect and demand.
The bill the railroads really
preferred was the Policy bill.
which simply prohibited the Civ
ing OF passes to those attending
conventions or going home to
vote. 1t was a palpable fraud on
its face.
Even the railroads perceived
the utter impossibility of passing
the Policy bill, and on Wednesday
morning, the day for the anti.pass
fight, they put forth every energy
TO compromise on the MilIigan
bill. Their crusade was directed
especially against the Democrats,
in the hopes Of smashing the sup
posed alliance with the Square
Deal Republicans. This last des.
perate effort of the railroad lobby
was not without its effect. Many
good men, and honest men, we're
persuaded that the MilIigsn bill
was really the best measure of the
four bills offered. One of these
was Chatten Of Barton, who on
the test vote stood up and was
counted with the supporters Of
the Milligan bill.
The radical difference between
the Stone bill and the Milligan
bill is that the Milligan bill allows
free passes to bs given to railway
surgeons. railway local attorneys.
and immigration agents. There
was nothing to prevent a railroad
having fifty immigration age nts
in every county of the state.
Anybody whom the railroads
desired to appoint could be an
immigration agent, and carry q
pass.
The test vote on the acceptance
Of the Milligan bill as q substitute
for the Stone bill was 81 to "a
against the Milligan bill. On the
substitution of the Stone bill for
the FOLEY bill 1t was 81 to 6, the
railroad opposition going CON-
pletely to pieces.
Closely following the big fight
on the anti.pa bill came the pri-
mary election law debate, which
also takes rank as one of the
great debates of the session.
The Stubs primary election law
was favorable reported BY the
elections committee, and at this
writing the friends of the meas.
ure seem confident that it will
pass the house. 1t is likely to

When Horses Had Fjnaers,

The earliest fossils from which we
derive our knowledge of the prehistoric
horse show that the modern animal
is descended from an ancestor that was
smaller than a sheep and possessed
five fingers and five toes. The earth
was largely swampy In the period Of
the earliest horse, and the wider feet
were an advantage. AS the earth rose
and the ground hardened, the digits
of the horse became useless, and the
animal gradually evolved into the one
fingered and one toed horse Of today
New York American.

garding this company.
The city of Ashland now has
four coal docks so that the peo-
pie here are certainly familiar
with the actual conditions that
exist in the coal trade. Each
one of these docks always main
tains the same schedule of prices
and they do not furnish any coal
to any dealers except those con-
nected with the Northwestern
Coal Dealers association, whose
domineering attitude has caused
such resentment throughout the
northwest, that the federal
grand jury has been recently in
vestigating it in Minneapolis.
Knowing these conditions, Ash
land people have subscribed for
nearly $4,000 of stock in the
cooperative coal company. o.
er 300 citizens of this city, in
Guiding our most prominent bus
mess men, are stockholders in
this concern, owning from $1O0
to $500 in stock each, and in
every case they have taken stock
in this way, because they are
confident that this company, sup
plying stockholders with coal
from the mines on a cooperative
basis, will save them a great deal
of money on their coal.
/ have taken 500 of stock in
the company myself, for the
same reason, and | am sure what
will be of benefit to me and to
the hundreds of Ashland stock
holders, will be of benefit gener-
ally to the people of the north
west who become stockholders.
Certainly the leading business
and professional men of the city
of Ashland would not invest
their money in this way if this
company was such as Mr.. Born

ing to picture.

WOUND DISEASES.

Quite. But when a man is shot
through the lungs a number of big
blood vessels are cut, and he dies from
loss of blood. Or the blood pours into
the fine network Of the lungs and the

If he outlives the shock he dies as he

abdominal wound, the man would prob
ably die of peritonitis, resulting from

into the cavity. In such a case death
would be due to the same cause as in
