StoesseI Courtmartial.

st. Petersburg Testimony showing
the straits of the civil population at
Port Arthur during the siege was given
at the courtmartial of Lieutenant Gen
eral Stoessel Wednesday by Colonel
Vershini, who was civil commissioner
of that place and who fathered the
charges against General Stoessel that
he reaped a rich harvest by selling
eggs and milk and other luXuries to
the sick during the siege.
According to Colonel Vershini. mere
existence was luxury for civilians.
Provisions were enormously expensive
A COW cost $500, a pig $500, eggs 81
each and other things correspondingly
He testified that Nine Stoessel had
a large herd of cattle and a flock of
chickens and charged eXorbitant
prices. Shortly before the surrender, he
said, she summoned a merchant and at
tempted to dispose of these, the sup
position being that she had an inllling
of the coming surrender.
The prosecutors case is practically
all III, the judge advocates having dis
missed all his witnesses except three,
but several of Generel Stoessels wit
nesses remain to be heard.

Congressman Cooks Protest.

Denver-Congressman George w.
Cook EVIDENTLY has no intention of
letting his protest against the Presi-
dents policy in land fraud cases rest
with his recent letter upon that sub
ject. In a communication to the Den
yer Chamber of Commerce he states
that he has sent copies of his now-fa-
nous epistle to every senator and rep
resentative of Congress, to the Presi-
dent, the vice president, the speaker,
the justice of the Supreme Court, mem
bers of the Cabinet, heads of all gov
ernmental bureaus and to 254 repre-.
sentatives in Washington of papers
throughout the entire country. To this
he adds:
"By misrepresentation by the ad-
ministration | have been forced on the
firing line" where l shall remain so
long as these malicious attacks on in
nocent men in my state shall con-
tinue."

Tuesday elected John Sharp Williams
to the United States Senate to succeed
II. d. Money, whose term expires

The fight followed a quarrel over a
committee assignment. Mr.. Williams

Ranid Rise.

"Pa," said Mrs. Hardapple, as she
opened the letter, ''the man who ran
over our old crippled COW with his
automobile wants to know how much
she was worth"
"Tell him about $6," drawled Hiram
Hardapple. Let me see, it was that
poor village doctor, wasn't it?"
mo, Hiram, it was city feller."
"Was, eh? Well, by heck, tell him
she was a first-class critter and worth
every cent of $50"
"And, come to think about it, HI.
ram, his automobile was almost a long
as a steamboat, with glass windows,
six lights and horn that you could
hear five miles,"
What? Then write and tell him the
COW he killed was a genuine imported
prize-winning Holstein and worth $500,
and If he doesn't settle up every cent
in cash I'll put the law on him"

SOCIALISTS
O'''"-IN ARRESTED
MARCH OF UNEMPLOYED IN CHI.
CAGO CLASHES WITH
POLICE.
LIVELY FIGHT ENSUES
LEADER OF PARADE KNOCKED
DOWN AND TAKEN TO
JAIL.

Chicago.-An attempt of Socialists
to bring about a march of the unem-
ployed" through the downtown streets
Thursday resulted in two sharp fights
with the police in which the would-be
marchers were routed after number
of men had been dubbed.
DIR. Benjamin l.. Reitman, the orig
inator of the plan to march through
the streets, and two of his followers
We're arrested after Reitman had been
knocked down for resisting the officers.
For several days Reitman, who is a
Socialist, had been making announce
ments of his intention to hold a pa
rade of "hoboes" and unemployed" !"
despite the warning given him by Chief
of Police Chippy that no march
through the streets would be per-
mitted.
Reitman continued to defy the au-
thorities, and thousands of circulars
We're distributed through the down
town saloons and in the lodging house
district, calling upon all men out OF
work to assemble at 2 o'clock on the
lake front.
The chief of police early in the day
reiterated his statement that the
march would not be permitted, and di-
rected that all the police force be held
in reserve at the various stations.
Just before o'clock a crowd com
menced to gather on Michigan avenue
in front of the Art institute, and in a
few minutes a column, which was re-
ally series of punches of four and
five men, formed and, headed by Reit-
man, started west on Adams street.
The marchers probably did not num-
hA,. fhnY ut fiI11n htrt
many hundreds of people followed
them along the sidewalks and added
to tn. confusion.
The police came on at the run, and
the column was instantly broken up.
Several men We're knocked down, and
the police, not attempting to make ar
rests, used their clubs freely in quick
ening the footsteps of the fleeing "un-
employed"
A number of the marchers, after
getting away from the police, went
south in State street, attempting to
form another column as they went.
Reitman turned south in Clark
street, but was quickly caught and
placed under arrest. He showed some
fight, and was handled in vigorous
style. His hat was smashed by blow
from a policeman's club, he was
knocked down, and his clothing torn.
When he regained his feet he shouted:
Let me CO. let me go. 1 know the
chief of police"
He was at once taken to police head
quarters, followed by a crowd of 1000
people. After reaching the station
Reitman said:
81 was arrested without cause and
was treated brutally. Some policeman
hit me over the head with his club.
There would have been no disorder
if the police had allowed us to march
through the streets as we wished to
do. All we wanted was to go to the
city hall and demand that men out of
work be given employment by the
city"

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in Days BY Cuticura.

"One day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but solid mass of this itch
ing disease. l purchased box Of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him we'll Then 1 dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it / did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

Frank If Not Complimentary.

Her brother, aged II. had been made
captain of high school football team
and consequently had become sudden
ly popular with the girls in the neigh
borhood. Because of this the man
ager of a skating rink presented broth
er with a season pass. Sister, who
had attained the tremendous age of
20, was truly flattered when brother
asked her, rather than some of the
younger bellies of his acquaintance, to
share the privileges of that skating
rink pass. But brothers explanation
removed all danger of the immediate
growth OF sisters vanity. You see,"
he told her with frank simplicity, I'm
not used to skating with girls. I'll
practice on you for a month or two,
and then when l can do it real well
I'll ask some of the other girls"

Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy OF
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

Deserved Only a Nickel.

A prominent charity worker of New
Yord said the other day about Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt:
When this good and charming girl
goes to Hungary as the Countess Sze-
chenyi, l know of certain hospital
wards where she will be missed"
He paused and smiled.
But let me tell you," he said, "of
last year. There was a children's hos
pital which she visited regularly, bring
ing fruit and flowers to the little pa
tients, and in a certain ward boy was
pointed out to her one day as a very
bad customer.
oh, he is incorrigible,' sighed the
nurse.
Miss Vanderbilt talked a while with
the little chap and when she rose to go
she said:
See here, l have heard bad re-
ports about you. Now, l want you to
promise me to be good. If you are
good for a whole week, I'll give you
81 when l come again next Thursday
The boy promised to try to be good.
This promise, though, he did not keep.
On her next visit Miss Vanderbilt, go
ing to his cot, said:
L shall not ask the nurse how you
have behaved this last week. l want
you to tell me yourself. Now, what do
you think-do you deserve that dollar
1 promised you, or not?'

with a troubled frown. Then h--'d

WAY TO CLEAN UP
SYSTEM AN IMPROVEMENT ON
ANNUAL oVERTURNING.
Instructor in Domestic Science Points
Out Proper Method of Getting
Rid of Dirt and Preserving
Health,

1t is a unique experience and one
worth chronicling to visit a large
class in prominent college for wom-
en-, where not mathematical logarithms
or Greek meters but principles of
household management are considered,
says the New York Tribune. And out
of such an experience" says the in
structor, come points deserving to be
widespread
Thorough cleaning of a room does
not mean semi-annual cleaning. AS
a clever woman said: House clean
ing? Don't!' There are certain things
which need to be done annually or
Semi-annually, such as painting,
whitening of walls, cleaning stoves,
but with the modern house it is more
sanitary and more economical to keep
clean all the time than to try to do
it twice a year.
Following the regular sequence of
processes is the most effective way to
clean. If the mistress knows this Sc
quence she can instruct the maid.
First, collect your materials-dusters,
mops, brooms. Next, look out for the
piano. Dust and clean it thoroughly
with an oiled cloth-preferably kero-
Sene, because this is cleansing, evapo-
rates quickly, is cheap and is always
at hand; but sweet oil or salad oil
may be substituted. Clean the white
keys with alcohol the black keys with
soap and water. Dust the case after
closing the piano and cover the instru-
ment carefully.
Now open the windows wide, if the
weather permits. Dust and cover all
large, permanent articles of furniture.
The best dust covers are made of
glazed goods-some smooth, washable
stuff which may be starched. Then,
in order, take down the draperies
and, if possible, put them out of doors
for the wind and sunshine to purify.
Dust the window shades and roll them
close to the top. Remove from the
window, after busting, all the easily
movable furniture tables, chairs, etc.
Next dust the pictures, both glasses,
frames and backs Newspapers make
excellent coverings for pictures. And,
by the way, study the use of newspa-
pers. (Wash the picture glasses after
the sweeping is over)
"As to books: There is an admir-
able process expressed in four words
clap snap, blow, wipe. AS to rugs.
roll them inside in spread out, If pos
sible on the grass or snow, or hang
out on the clothesline if there is no
other place. Better still, hang them
over two or three lines, as this will
relieve the strain. Let your rugs have
the sunshine for the sake of your
health; never mind the fading. Last
of all, remove the plants from the
room and dust and tie up the chan
delier.
Then, while the dust is settling,
go outside and do some of the work
needed on rugs, draperies, plants.
When the dust has settled clean the
walls and ceiling, and dust or sweep
or wash the floor. Clean the paint
and the windows at the end, after
the room is cleaned. The final pro-
cess is very simple. Remove all the
large articles of furniture the draper
les, etc. Fold the sweeping covers in
and put all your cleaning materials
into their places, in readiness for the
next time of use"
