Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow. a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood. not understanding
that this secrat drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

CONTRADICTS ORCHARD
Witness Makes Positive Denial OF
Every Statement Made

Boise, Idaho, June c6.-Wm. F. Da-
Wis of Goldfeld, New, one of the most
important witnesses of the defense of
VIM. D. Haywood, accused of the MUIR
der of Frank Steuncnberg was called
ITO the stand at noon today and his
cross examination had not completed
when court adjourned this after
noon.
Harry Orchard testified that Davis
had commanded the mob that destroy
ed the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill
in 1899, inspired as the agent of Hay
wood and Meyer, the Vindicator explo-
sion and the train wrecking plot at
Cripple Creek and was an accomplice
in the independence station crime. On
direct examination oy Clarence Dar-
row, Davis went over the story of his
working life and made positive de-
malls of every statement of Orchard
that involved him or his associates in
any form Of crime.
Davis denied thai he was even a
member of the union when the Bunk
er Hill and Sullivan mine was blown
up.
Davis swore that AZ Cripple Creek
during the strike Orchard told him OF
the Hercules mine affair and threaten
ed to kill Steunenberg.
The cross examination of Davis by
Senator Borah was severe and search
ling. 1t was chiefly devoted, as far as
it proceeded, TO the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan affair and the circumstances
under which Orchard IIade the threat
against Steunenberg.
Davis asserted that he remained al
Gem the day the Bunker Hill mill
was blown up. While he saw the
train in charge of the masked mot
arrive and depart from Gem, he could
not name any one on the train excep

ment and this was overruled. He
then made a motion that the gov
ernment should be ordered to elect a
Specific count in the indictment on
which to base the final judgment of
| the court. This last motion, if sus-
tanned, would have limited the fine
to $4,000, the maximum for a single
offense. The motion, however, was
denied, and the court can under the
conviction, punished THE company
with fines aggregating $29,260,O00 on
the 1,4G2 counts in the indictments
| that have been held good by the
court.
| Several witnesses were then called,
but they all proved unsatisfactory and

furnish the information requested by
Judge Lands, declaring that his de-
mand was judicial and not
pertinent.

Holmes Makes General DENIAL of

cernine Reports From the Field
Motion Overruled to Take Case
From Jury and Direct Verdict for
Defendant.

Washington, June 26.-E. S. Holmes,
the agricultural department, on trial
in the criminal court on the charge
of conspiring to defraud the govern
ment by prematurely divulging the
departments information concerning
the cotton crop, took the stand today
in his own defense. He testified that
he never had any advance information
concering the reports from the field
and that he had neither given out fn-
formation previous to the official pub
lication nor agreed to do so. Il neither
signalled nor attempted to signal to
Haas nor to any one else at any time
the condition of the crop report said
Holmes in reply to question concern
ing Van Riper's testimony to the ef-
feet that he had agreed to so arrans~
the window shades as to indicate rne
situation. He also stated that the
crop reports from the field upon which
the departments final statement is
predicted were never opened until the
day the PRONUNCIATION of the Official
statement. rendering it impossible to
secure accurate information prior to
that date. He also said that news
paper reports and private estimates
were allowed to have influence with
the statistician in agreeing upon the
final figures. He had always given lis
the reports, he declared, but never had
any motive except to get the most ac-
curate results. .4
The court overruled the motion OF
the defense to take the case from the
jury and direct a verdict for Holmes

San Francisco, June 26.-President
Small of the Telegraphers' Union said:
Should the two telegraph compan-
les refuse to meet their operators In
order to ajust the difference now ex-
listing, there is no doubt in the world
that the strike will continue until we
can force a government investigation.
We are willing and anxious to do any
thing in reason to adjust the present
trouble. The union need not appear
IN the adjustment at all; and, as has
often been stated before, if the employ
ers of the telegraphers will deal hon
estly and honorably with their opera
tors they will never hear of the un-
ion.

the blacklist and the employment of

freight rates fixed by the legislature
of those states came W. for hearing be-
fore Judge Pritchard in the United
States circuit court here today. Coun-
sci for both sides presented their
views.
The railroads contended that the re-
duced rates are so low that they will
either financially ruin the roads or
prevent dividends, and thus failing to
pay a reasonable compensation for
money invested they will be deprived
of their property without due process
of law, in violation of the federal con-
stitution.
Counsel for the states contend that
