Effect Of Newspaper Advertising. N
The author Of the a"Autobiography Of

For number of years advertised
only in my windows and in some of
the street-cars, because did not feel
that could afford to advertise in the
daily papers. Two years ago last Sep
TENDER was having cravenette coat
sale, and succeeded in selling for a
couple Of weeks about fifty coats a
day. ] thought I would try a column
ad. in one Of the evening papers. The
next day this column ad. appeared in
one of the evening papers, and, by the
bye, it was not the one that has the
largest circulation in Chicago. Sc
lected the paper that this ad. appeared
in because they gave me a low rate,
but they agreed to give my ad a good
position in the paper. The result was
that the next day the sales, which for
merly had been about fifty coats a
day, jumped to 142, and in fifty days I
sold over $500 raincoats. h &

continued to advertise in this one pa

fused three morning papers and three
evening papers, the best in Chicago
The results have been something phe-
nomenal. I did not have to invest So
900. The profits came back from the
newspaper advertising before their
bills came in, and do rot figure to-
day that ] have dollar invested in
advertising. In my opinion the only
way to advertise is to give them plain,
common-sense talk Tell them the
truth. Do not get a customer to come
to your store and find that you have
faxed him, for that is poor advertis-
ing, besides being dishonesty" , ss

RESUME OF THAw TRIAL.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took the wit
ness stand in defense of her husband
and told the story of her relations
with Stanford White, the famous ar
chitect who was killed by Harry
Thaw. 1t was the same story she
told Harry Thaw in Paris in 1898,
when he had asked her to become his
wife-the confession of one who felt
there was an insurmountable barrier
to her ever becoming the bride OF
the man she loved
The defense of Harry X. Thaw, I'M
der the direction of Attorney Dolphin
M. Delmas of California, began to
assume definite shape and testimony
was placed before the jury to the
effect that Stanford White had been
heard to make a threat to kill the
defendant, coupling the threat with
the display of a revolver; that ThaWs
actions following the killing Of White
on the roof of Madison Square gar
den were considered by several eye
witnesses to have been irrational;
that an uncle of the defendant was
insane; that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
passed a note to her husband during
dinner at the Cafe Martin the eve
ming of the tragedy; that District At
torney Jerome has this note, and re-
fused, on the demand of the defense,
to introduce it in evidence.

animation of DR.. c. c. Wiley, the first

Thaw's lawyers would withdraw from
the case. 1t was reported that Del.
phin M. Delmas and four of his col
leagues were so angered by what they
considered the usurpation of authority
By Attorney John B. Gleason that they
had decided to sever all connection
with the case unless he relinquished
the leading part.

his trial She also related an alleged

to blacken the character of Thaw.

Require Cash for Stock.

Senator Peterson of Wright county
has offered bill in the senate pro-
hibiting corporations from issuing
stock unless the treasury receives
the full par value of it. Senator
Smith offered a bill providing that
railroads may only increase their
stock after approval of the state rail-
road commission. The Peterson bill
is sweeping in character. 1t provides
that no corporation organized under
the laws of the state OF Iowa shall
issue any capital stock or any certi-
ticate or certificates of shares OF
capital stock, or any substitute there
for, until the corporation has receiv.
ed the par value thereof. If it is pro.
posed to pay for said capital stock in
property or in any other thing than
money, the corporation proposing the
same must, before issuing capital
stock in any form, apply TO the execu-
tive council of the state of Iowa for
leave to do so.

Punish Desertion by Either Sex.
The senate judiciary committee vot-
ed to recommend for passage bill
Furnishing family desertion, in this
state. 1t will not differentiate between
the sexes. Both men and women will
ne punished Tor the desertion of their
families. The law, as formulated,
provides that when either man or
woman abandons his or her children
under 16 years of age, he may be pun
ished for an indictable misdemeanor
or for felony. However, If he is
able to give bond for the perform
ance of the duties fixed by the court
which bears his case, the sentence
may be suspended, during the per-
Torrance of those duties There have
been many efforts to reach legisla-
ton of this character in Iowa. None
has been successful. The senate
committee on judiciary, in the last
session, killed a bill which had been
passed by the house and which was
so drastic as to be impossible. This
year the legislation starts in mild
form in the upper body with the pros
pect in favor of enactment.

Say Railroads Want Shorter Hours.
The Marston bill, making it unlaw-
full for railroad companies to allow
or require their employees to work
more than sixteen consecutive hours,
came up for hearing before the house
committee on labor on the cth.
Besides the representatives OF the
railroad companies there were also
present members of the trainmen's
organizations and state Labor Com
missioner E. d. Brigham, who was
also on hand to present facts and ar
guments in favor of the bill.
The hearing was preliminary to
action on the bill, but it is doubtful
if the committee will take it up for
final consideration for some days as
a desire was expressed Tor more In
formation.
W. d. Eaton OF the legal depart
ment of tie Burlington was the leader
of the representatives or the roads,
and the chief speakers were from
the operating departments OF the
roads.
From the first, the railroad men
declared that they realized sixteen
hours a day was enough for employees
of the road to work, and that they
favored such 4 rule; they did NOT OBJ
ject to the spirit Of the proposed
law, but were anxious for changes In
1t that would make it less severe.
At one time F. c. Rice or the Bur-
tington said: THE railroads have
decided not to make runs longer than
sixteen hours.'
and the PEOPLE OF Iowa have
reached the same conclusion said
Mr.. Marston.
The roads made every effort TO
show that comparatively few or the
accidents were in reality caused be-
cause of men working Yong hours,
and that the great majority OF the
accidents could in no way be con-
nected with long hours.

Ask Delegation to Aid Employees.

The house resolution asking the
Iowa delegation in the United States
congress to favor the sixteen hour
bill, was adopted. The resolution
refers to the bill. that passed the Unit
ed States senate and was sent to the
house and is now before the railroad
committee there. 1t is similar to the
Marston bill in the Iowa general as.
sembly and provides that no railroad
company shall require nor allow it's
employees, connected with the train
service, to work for more than six.
teen consecutive hours. 1t is the
LaFollette-Dolliver bill.

Representative Hambleton, speaker
pro tenn of the house, introducing a
joint resolution for constitutional
amendment to permit women to vote

proposes to strike the word male"

At the last session the women's suf-
frage amendment was defeated in the

New Redistrictina Bill.


A new redistricting bill, affecting
the congressman, has been prepared
and will be offered in the legislature
within day or two. The bill con.
templates the addition of Jackson
county, which is the home of Con-
gresham Dawson of the Second dis.
trict, to the Fifth district, and the
addition Of Cedar county, which is
the home of Congressman Cousins OF
the Fifth, to the Second. The only
other congressman affected is Con-
gresham Conner of the Tenth, whose
county is to be transferred to the
Ninth district. The change contem.
plated by the bill, as to counties,
make slight arrangements of terri
tory. But they would, it is believed,
very well equalize the population OF
the different districts. The popula-
tion now is extremely large in some,
noticeaLly the Eleventh, which has
100000; or light, as in the First,
where the populaticl is but about
10000.

Senator Durham mas offered a
number Of important bills relative to
court procedure, which will do away
with most of the reversals by courts
of appeal. and all reversals based on
technicalities and mere errors. One
of the measures provides that there
shall be no reversal in criminal cases
except when the court Is satisfied of
the reasonable doubt of guilt of the
accused. Another measure provides
that no case may be reversed except
when the court is satisfied that sub.
stantial justice has not been accom-.
pliShed.

What viii Sbarkman Do?

# our recollection Is correct. Con-
gressmau Sparkmau, when urged
months ago 10 become a candidate
for the senate. declined for the prin-
cipal reason that he was not willing
10 oppose the candidacy of his friend
Senator Mallory. whom he felt had
claims upon his support too strong
10 be set aside. That reason is no
longer operative now that Senator
Mallory is our Of the race. and there
is statewide curiosity to know what
Mr.. Sparkman is going to DO about
il. His popularity in South Florida
would make him inyincible in that
section as senatorial candidate and
he has reputation all over the state
that would assure him a good sun
port in every county. He has the
politicians guessing all right. and six
gentlemen who want 10 succeed Sen
ator Mallory are very much on the
anxious seat. We wait 10 hear from
