Classed as an Antique Also,

A charming hostess of one of the
''big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty Of prematurely
white hair, says the Washington Star.
That which seems to her contenno-
raries an added charm may appear to
the crudely young mark Of decline,
at least so it appears in one instance
Of which the hostess herself tells with
enjoyment
The lady is connoisseur of antiques
At one of her teas debutante rich
with the glow of youth, but sadly con-
strained with her sense of her own
novelty, was handed a cup of tea. The
cup was beautifully blue and wonder
fully old. The hostess, desiring to
tighten the strain on her youthful
guest by pleasingly diverting re-
mark, said ''That little cup is $50
years DID,
"Oh," came the debutante's high
strained tones, chow careful you must
be to have kept it so long!'

tendent of schools, will open law of

month. He will take Charles Lang of
Madison as partner.
In plain sight of passengers waiting
for trains, two robbers made daring at
tempt to rob the Milwaukee road ticket
office at GAINESVILLE Friday noon during
the absence of the agent. They broke

were scared away just as they reached
the cash drawer containing $3.50. Con-
fronted by the evidence against him pro-
duced by Detective William Henry Cas-
ey and City Marshal w Fl Appleby,

Miss Hazel Fisher of GAINESVILLE. who
has been spending some weeks with her
aunt, Mrs Gender. at Lake Kegonsa,
suddenly has recovered the use of her
voice She lost it about eleven weeks
ago, being unable to speak beyond a
whisper. doctors could not assist her,
although the best specialists were en-
ployed. Miss Fisher sings in one of
Janesville's church choirs, and is mu-
stefan of great promise. The trouble
seems to have been paralysis of the vocal
chords. She is but II years old, and it
is believed that possibly her voice was
overstrained.
Monday Otto Clement, aged Is years,
was found lying in pool of his own
blood in a shed. He was unconscious
and suffering from deep wound in his
left thigh. He was taken to hospital

on the holiday he was playing humble
the peg. The knife came down on his
leg, bu-ying itself deep in the flesh, he
said. The police are inclined to take a
different view and are investigating the
case. Clement has a wife and child.

The resders of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease. requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surface of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The pro-
prletors have so much faith in its oura-

Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Trades That Kill.

One of the most dangerous Of trades,
according to the Pilgrim, sis the cover
ing of toy animals with skin, chamois
leather being used, for instance, for
the elephants, calfskin for the horse
and goatskin for the camels. This
covering must of course fit without
a wrinkle to look natural, SO the wood
en- model is first dipped into glue, then
sprinkled with chalk dust; then the
skin is put on. The chalk is so fine
that it fills the air and Is drawn into
the throat and lungs. A year of this
sort of work often results in death.
Another very injurious toy is the rub
Der balloon. The fumes and solvents
used in reducing sheet rubber to the
necessary thinness while retaining its
strength and the dyeing of the bril-
liant yellows, green's and purple are
most of them poisonous.

ministration Of the Philippine Islands
was called into existence at Manila by
Secretary Of War Taft Oct. 10, and
Sergio Osmena, former native governor
Of Cebu island, was elected president

Southern Pacific Still Relating.
Franklin X. Lane of the interstate
commerce commission, who has just
returned to Washington after a trip
through the west and southwest, re-
ports that the officials of the Southern
Pacific railroad have been guilty of
rebating under the existing laws and
that prosecution of these officials must
follow. A conviction under these cir
cumstances means a possible prison
sentence for Mr.. Hartman and his
responsible associates. Auditor Segar
told Commissioner Lane at San Fran

ing was used, known as the "third ac-
count" and that it comprised the in

is ridiculous.
Traction Combine Prosecuted.
Two suits have been begun against
the directors of the New York Metro
politan Securities company, of which
Thomas F. Ryan is the principal own
er, to compel the restoration Of the
$065,000 shown by the Brady testi-
mony to have been stolen from the
treasury Of the company and to COM
pei the directors to repay the $250,000
paid to John b. Macdonald to prevent
the enforcement of contracts for rival
subways. The suits have been begun
In the name of Daniel w. Burrows, a
stakeholder of the company. One suit
was begun in the supreme court Of
New York and the other in the United
States circuit court. Mr.. Burrows says
he has tried to get the company to
begin action against the defendants,
but 1t has neglected to do so as the
company is dominated by Messrs.
Ryan, Widener Dolan and others Sub
poenas were asked for Ryan. MacDon-
aid, Root. Sayer, Vreeland and others.
Coincident with the disclosure Of
crooked financial methods employed by
the traction combine the fact has come
to light that Messrs. Whitney and
Ryan created 100000 yellow dog"
fund for the Republican national COM
mittee, to be used in insuring the cleo
ton Of Mckinley and Roosevelt. 1t is
now asserted that the subscribers to
