THE WAY TO
WEAR EN-

Some women in England have be-
gun to dress out and out like men.
They wear long coat cut like hunt
ing coat, cap, riding breaches and
top boots. 1t is a handsome costume
and it is not immodest, but undoubted-
ly it attracts a good deal of atteR-
ton. They have been telling in Lon
don lately story about girl who
adopted this riding rig. Pulling up
her horse one afternoon she said to
an artisan who was passing: Can
you tell me if this is the way to Ware
ham," The man looked her over care
fully. Then he touched his cap in
respectful manner and replied: Yes,
miss, yes-you seem to ave got 'em
On all right. "-Argonaut.

A number of society young women
of Hemingford, Neb., have formed an
anti-whiskers society. pro-whiskers

lions from men-young, middle-aged
or old-who wear any sort of beard,
and not under any circumstances to

I.archmont and New Rochelle, where
tests have been made for three days

finding. His increase for this April
over April, 1906, when the saloons
were running at full blast, was $420, so,
or an average of $14.02 % per day
This was the cash sales alone: and
the majority of the people who were
in the habit OF patronizing the sa-

pay cash. Mr.. Parks did not foot up
his credit sales, but has had a nice
business from his credit customers as

NEW STYLE
PRECIOUS STONES
Official Preparation Said to Be Very
Valuable.

A considerable industry Is being
built up in the manufacture of gala
18th, or milestone, which Is cheaper
than celluloid and is non-infiamable.
The raw material is skinned milk
from the large cooperative daries. To
this, in large tanks, is added rennet.
coagulating the casein, which is
pressed, dried and powdered, and
freed from its cheesy odor by repeated
washings, and finally is hardened by
a chemical process.
The product is declared to be more
brilliant, more solid, and trifie heav-
Ter than celluloid. 1t is as easy to
work as wood, and can be made into a
great variety Of articles, such as
combs, hairpins. piano keys, buttons,
knife handles, umbrella handles,
backs for brushes, paper knives, dom
inoes, inlaid ornaments for furniture,
and almost any object requiring solid
ity and fine polish.
Altogether, this new milestone
seems to be valuable invention; and
by no means the least important thing
about 1t Is the possibility that. in case
of dire financial Stress threatening
starvation, articles made of this stone
might be cut up, seasoned to taste
and eaten.

Col. Hughes Hopes Run High.
Strange Story About Long~orth Be-
ino Slated for Foraker's Seat.

WASHINGTON. April 2O.-Boss
BrownIow is evidently well pleased.
His Roosevelt band wagon ticket has
been examined b. an administration
agent and found TO be the regular
round trip article, bearing the genuine
big stick vignette and the signature
OF the user attached thereto. In other
words. Mr. Brownlow's punctual dec
laration Of unqualified devotion to
Roosevelt and eager readiness to sup
port him for another term, first, last
and forever. if need be, is quite salts
flying to the White House and it Is as
sured him that the beneficiaries Of his
influence in obtaining a Federal pa
tronage in Tennessee will not be dis
turbed.
Col. Hughes. the Columbia postmas-
ter, over whose head removal has
hung by a straining thread, has been
in close touch with the Boss since his
arrival and is now sanguine of reten-
ton. They await the return tomorrow
of Postmaster General Meyer. who
promises to dispose of the case this
week.
1t Is a singular thing. in connection
with the anxiety of Southern Repub-
licans to make known their insistance
upon Roosevelt for another term, that
all of them have quit talking about
Secretary Taft. Il is because that
that sort OF talk has been discouraged,
in circles nearest the White House,
Notwithstanding President Roosevelt
has encouraged Judge Taft to go after
support for the Presidency In his own
State.
A peculiar, If rather incredible, re-
port comes from Ohio today that Pres
ident Roosevelt has selected his SON
in-law, Nicholas Longworth, to sue
seed Foraker. The President resents
the recent slur by Foraker Of the SON
in-law when the Senator dismissed
with the contemptuous re-
mark that he had not time to waste
upon him. Tomorrow 1t Is said the
President intends to show Foraker
what is the real power sof the Admin
istration even in the Buckeye State.

MAYOR SCHMI1Z CONVICTED
Found Guilty of Extortion by Jury
After Brief DeIiberation.

San Francisco, June 15.-Mayor Eu-
gene E. SchmitZ is guilty of eytorting
money from French restaurant keep
ers. This is the verdict brought in by
the jury in the mayors trial after de-
liberation of an hour and thirty-five
minutes.
Mayor Schmitz, after the verdict, at
first declined to make any statement,
but later, by the advice of his attor-
'neys, he dictated the following state
ment:
mo matter what the decision of the
jury I still maintain that I am abso-
lutely innocent of the crime charged
and will fight the case to the last re-
sort. AS said before my trial did
not expect nor receive fair or even
decent treatment at the hands of
Judge Dunno"
Mayor Schmitz is the first to be
convicted in the anti-graft campaign
started several months ago. It was on
testimony of his former "boss" and
confidential adviser, "Abe" Ruef, that
the jury decided that the mayor
shared in the blackmail collected from
the French restaurant keepers.

sUBSCRlPTION.--S5.OO PER ANNUI
EASTMAN WARNS REPUBLICANS.

C. C Eastman, owner of the
Wadena Pioneer Journal, is a warm
personal friend of Governor John A.
Johnson in everything except poll
tics. Politically, Eastman is re-
publican who is intensely loyal to
his party, while the governor is just
as staunch a democrat.
In the last issue of the Pioneer
Journal, Mr.. Eastman says of the
proposition of the democratic party
nominating the governor as its can
didate for the presidency, in 1908:
If we were conducting a Dem
ocratic paper we would devote some
energy to a movement calculated to
add force in his home state to the
present presidential boom of Gov.
John. "A. Johnson. He is certainly
as good a piece of timber as that
party could put forward, as his politi.
cal record and strength is not dupli-
Gated, in our judgment, by any
other Democrat mentioned in this
connection.
But as we are not publishing a
Democratic paper and have no in
fuence whatever in that party, we
will content ourself with cautioning
the state and national leaders in re-
gard to selecting the nominee of the
Republican party next year. If a
Republican of good ability and un.
doubted loyalty is named we have nc
doubt of his election When the
best interests of the people seem tc
conflict with the private gain of any
corporation or Individual, if that gain
be unjust, or the result of some ia.
vored knowledge, the candidate OF
the Republican party must have a
record which will strongly and I'm.
mistakably indicate where he will be
and what he will do. Otherwise, in
view of the capers cut by the people
of several states within the past few
years, something heavy is likely to
fall and someone may be smashed"

SAID TO BE SHORT $4,000
Cashier of First National Bank of Sey-
mour, Wis.,, Arrested.

Seymour, Wis, June ia de-
faulter to the extent of $4,000, caused
by the allurements of the Chicago
wheat pit, is responsible for the arrest
of Thomas C.--Coghill, cashier of the
First National bank of this city, who
was taken into custody by a federal
officer and removed to Milwaukee.
Mere observance of an unusual
quantity Of mail being received during
the last few weeks was the indirect
cause of the expose. The bank has
been aided by other institutions and
the wealthy stockholders and is said
to be in good shape.
Coghill has made full breast of his
misappropriation and has put up a
story that is hardly believed by the
bank directors. He declares that
funds really disappeared before he
touched one cent of the banks money
and that the beginning of his defalca-
tions was caused in an effort to make
good the Shortage.

SOME SARCASM.

A stitch in time may close the
mouth of nine gossips.
Thrift and stinginess are as SINH
lar as they are different.
Men with long heads are capable
of using them on short notice.
If man is incompetent he usu
ally charges it up to bad luck.
It is the scarcity of their remark:
that makes some women remark
able.
Even if you gain but an inch
you haven't put your best foot for
ward in vain.
Theatrically speaking, the hero
ines death scene, is usually less
realistic than her hair-dying.
1t takes almost as many tailors
to make man, as it takes collect
ors to induce him to pay for the
job. >
Our idea of a hypocrite is a man
who really admires his mother-in
law, but is too contrary to admit the
fact.
A woman derives more. pleasure
from planning things that never
come off, than the man does from
actual happening of things.
